I declare this song my so far most favorite song, even when i listen to many variety of styles and bands, this song is perfection to me. From lyrics to Music. KICKASS Intro, verses, chorus, bridges, keyboards & guitar solos, DAT keychange at the end. Everything here, BPM, intensity, epicness.. all fits perfectly well to me. Thank you Sonata Arctica, for this motherf***ing great song!
Imo, this is Sonata Arctica's best song! It speaks so clearly to me about freedom and being able to live on your own without worries of people controlling you, and it evokes the various emotions like a good power metal song should.
Esta canción significa tanto para mi, me acompañó mis 7 años de medicina general y tmb mi especialización. Cada vez que necesito valor, sé que lo encontraré en esta poderosísima pieza!
Last September I rent an harley Davidson and I crossed the nevada desert all alone. among the songs that were playing in my earphones there was this one. Well, in that moment, I felt really free like a wolf on the hill. What a fantastic song
+Antonio Misso I nevenr thought about playing this song in the desert, but now you mention it, it would make an ideal driving track. I always thoguth of this whole albulm as somthing to play in mid winter, partly becasue of the artwork, adn the whole albulms visual theme.
Que buen tema carajo como suena!!!! bien al mango, increíble el poder de este banda Finlandesa buenos teclados ambientando, bateria al taco sin dejar ni un solo hueco y bajo modesto pero contundente y una guitarra que emociona y la voz de la banda que conmueve por la entrega total que se brinda a este estilo tan bueno de Metal
I'm obsessed with the intro and with the bridge...You will remember the day you crossed my path! Leaving me without guard, can you feel my wrath?! What you have done to me has made me bitter and cruel!!! I'll see that all the hate you spread returns to you... you!!.... to you!!!!!!!!!
Best part: " You will remember the day you crossed my path! Leaving me without guard, Can you feel my wrath? What you have done to me has made me bitter and cruel, I'll see that all the hate you spread returns to you."
I would say the best part is: It's my song they now sing to you You stand no chance They'll kill for me, steal back my freedom, set me free It's my minions versus thee Fiery the vengeance, hate will drain me.
This song hits me so hard. The emotion that this song releases in me makes me tear up. I love it. It's an unexplainable phenomenon. I LOVE YOU SONATA ARCTICA
Here it is! The video that opened my eyes to Sonata Arctica. I first saw this video almost a year ago and since then my liking of thm has only grown. Thanks for the good times!
Sonata has only done two werewolf songs - FullMoon and Wolf & Raven. This song and "Ain't Your Fairytale" are about real wolves. It's just about a caged wolf who yearns for the freedom of the forests and hills. His threats could be interpreted as either delusionary or authentic - either his captivity has simply led to dreams of a wolf army coming to rescue him, or there actually is such a force. I prefer the first interpretation, it's more realistic and sadder... his rage comes out in these dreams and delusions. And I don't think it has anything to do with Fenrir - just because it's metal doesn't make it Norse. I have a mental image of this song, of a captured timber wolf in a foreign zoo, alone and mismanaged in a steel cage, staring endlessly at a single tree on the far hillside, realizing the true meaning of captivity: he isn't even free to look at the tree from another viewpoint. To date, my favorite Sonata song.
Amazing song! desperate, agressive and beatyfull in all ways. and the lyrics of this song is most powerful and meaningful lyrics of all the songs I've ever read the text of. when I read the lyrics to this song I almost started to cry. this song can make people think twice before they violate someone's freedom, and make them slaves or captives!
Heard Sonata 1 year ago now, it is the band that is my most favourite now , they changed me from a Thrash/ Death metal head to a power/prog person Thanks Sonata Arctica !
Of every song I've ever heard, this is the song that made the deepest impression on me. And I know this song is true: there are thousands of people and animals that really suffer in captivety. I really want to help them, and I shall if I can!
that was the first sonata arctica song I've heard and that was years ago..but the song awakes still the same deep emotions. I still love this song, but I haven't listen to any sonata arctica song for years I think..shame on me...right now I think should start listening to them again...they are so great!
Whenever I listen to this song, the moment it picks up I crank the music to max and close my eyes. In that moment, I feel free from all that troubles me.
There are songs and then there are "songs" that touch ones inner feelings somehow, this, for me is one of "those songs" The lyrics match the music like 100%
The last repetition of the chorus from 4:05 to the end is absolutely beautiful. I really love this song; I'd say it's the song that really got me into Sonata Arctica.
The first SA album I owned. The whole thing is incredibly dense and makes me feel like I'm in the thick of the forest. I absolutely love it, and this song as well. :)
I am not an expert on Sonata Artica songs, but to me this song and 'This ain't your fairy tail' are the best wolf themed songs I've heard from this band.
@Beaudereck No, the keys in this and 3 more songs of Winterheart's Guild are played by jens, but not composed :) However, it's the same, Jens and Henrik are a great keyboardists
Let's be honest, only 100,000 people have actually watched this video, they're just watching it over and over again. Also, does this song remind anyone else of Vegeta?
![Stratovarius - Eagleheart [HD] (official video)](/img/1.gif)
Wolf: Freedom has a meaning for me!
Also wolf: *runs around a tree endlessly*
That is a fine definition of freedom for me.
I know it is kind of off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream new series online ?
@Mathew Jaiden i would suggest Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Toby Collin Yea, been using flixzone for years myself =)
@Toby Collin Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it !
I feel a chill on my body when he sings "I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free!".
There is just so much power in that phrase!
I am quiting my fucking job tomorrow!
It would be cool and interesting to hear it.
Yesss, I know this song for almost 10 years, and today I actually understood what he meant by that
Dear Canalla Puto, do you listen this song whit your parlantes?
I declare this song my so far most favorite song, even when i listen to many variety of styles and bands, this song is perfection to me. From lyrics to Music.

Ditto
Without a doubt one of sonata's best songs.
Powerful lyrics and music. And tony's voice was peak.
Imo, this is Sonata Arctica's best song! It speaks so clearly to me about freedom and being able to live on your own without worries of people controlling you, and it evokes the various emotions like a good power metal song should.
Murica
Kind of yeah, you'll find diff meanings as you get older, I don't believe there's just '1' meaning to any song, it's about how you perceive it
Esta canción significa tanto para mi, me acompañó mis 7 años de medicina general y tmb mi especialización.
Cada vez que necesito valor, sé que lo encontraré en esta poderosísima pieza!
The final chorus is something to live for! \m/
Totally!! 🤘

Antonio Misso How can this comment not have about 100 thumbs up??? Let's get to it people
+Antonio Misso I nevenr thought about playing this song in the desert, but now you mention it, it would make an ideal driving track. I always thoguth of this whole albulm as somthing to play in mid winter, partly becasue of the artwork, adn the whole albulms visual theme.
+clips from films aye, actually purchased the album because of this track, i can agree with that POV on it :P
Damn... that made ME feel like a free wolf and i never even rode a motorcycle...
John Delamater They need to put this album on Apple Music! I have this song live because of For the Sake of Revenge, but I want this version too!
This sonata arctica's record is a lung for european power metal! I can feel the fresh air in every melody and riff!
I have so many great memories associated with This song. I like to roam around the woods where I grew up while blasting this on my phone.

This is my old account.. can't believe it's reaching 2M views 15 years later!! Glad i could share this beautiful music with all of you
BEST
FUCKING
INTRO
EVER.
I just listened to it 10 times in a row
lisa That's what I'm doing now.
I love how the first notes in the intro and solo sounds like howls
Ishzark Klyon Never thought of it that way before, but you're right LOL!
this song is the expression of freedom un-caged, with dream and and hopefullness
there is a lesson here
i cried listening this, i felt in my bones the sorrow of yearning the freedom... this band is so so so amazing u.u
great seeing the lyrics for the first time after knowing the song for 10 years... never knew what he was singing..
Best part: " You will remember the day you crossed my path! Leaving me without guard, Can you feel my wrath? What you have done to me has made me bitter and cruel, I'll see that all the hate you spread returns to you."
You....
To Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
its like me vs my dad
@@TayR0C Me VS society
I would say the best part is:
It's my song they now sing to you
You stand no chance
They'll kill for me, steal back my freedom, set me free
It's my minions versus thee
Fiery the vengeance, hate will drain me.
almost as good as 'The words of a banished king: I swear revenge!'
This song hits me so hard. The emotion that this song releases in me makes me tear up. I love it. It's an unexplainable phenomenon. I LOVE YOU SONATA ARCTICA

You forgot Shooting Stars
What about the last amazing grays?
Your interpretation is the deepest and most interesting I've ever read.
Haven't heard this for 10 years. I don't know how I even got to first hearing but it is awesome.
I saw them in 2006 and I was so happy when they played this one...Sounded awesome live, I was impressed.
Dear god i love this song. I just saw them in san francisco last night, and it was GLORIOUS!!
I am from Russia and I don’t understand many words. But I express great respect to the group. Especially the guitarist!
Despite all my rage, I am still just a wolf in a cage
.....
(insert Nicolas Cage reference)
"Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage" :-)
DESPITE ALL MY RAGE, I AM JUST AN ONION IN A CAGE
(insert Nicolas Cage reference) Ok. Not the bees!
HAH :D
God, that last chorus just makes me feel things. Such a wonderful song.
Eye of the Tiger can go to hell. If I was in a training montage, you'd hear this song in the background!
And dude, you didn't see a montage this music have with fighters jets yet. It's just Madness!!! Ima trying to find
@@nunseinaumvei you find it?

that was the first sonata arctica song I've heard and that was years ago..but the song awakes still the same deep emotions. I still love this song, but I haven't listen to any sonata arctica song for years I think..shame on me...right now I think should start listening to them again...they are so great!
I heard this song for the first time in Ankkarock 2009. The double bass was so, so awesome. n_n
Aahhhhhh!! Jens Johansson and his unmistakable signature keyboard soloing :) priceless.
Best song with Sonata Arctica, love this band so much, and their lyrics are like no other :)
Whenever I listen to this song, the moment it picks up I crank the music to max and close my eyes. In that moment, I feel free from all that troubles me.
Damn, just discovered this band 5 minutes ago, never heard of them bwfore but gosh they're awesome. Wish I discovered this band earlier. (:
I love this amazing song!!
I love you
my all time favorite
how beautiful my neo bride and I love you greetings from my country colombia
It's good to finally find a metal band that people don't argue about in the comments =]
suddenly i realized what this song is about
It's about Nicolas
It’s about a dog at a shelter
@@jasoninthehood9726wolf
Every time i hear this song i get goosebumps all over my body. This song is special in a great way.
Sonata Arctica forever!!!!
This is one of the best of the songs. All of them.
There are songs and then there are "songs" that touch ones inner feelings somehow, this, for me is one of "those songs"
The lyrics match the music like 100%
These guys are incredible live!!
"innocent and underwear"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! yes! That is how I sing it!
exactly :D
max göransson I actually thought it was "In the scent of underwear" and that always made me think "wtf is going on in these lyrics"
TheFirebender95 listen to any system of a down song and then complain about odd lyrics lol
@@SephTheHuntress Holy shit, so did I until I watched this. I thought I was the only one
this cures my depression
These songs ("ain't your fairy tale", "the cage" and "wolf and raven") put my feelings into words perfectly, my drive for freedom.
this song is being sung by the wolf trapped within the cage? he looks like he has something to say...
This is the first time i have ever had goosebumps while listening to a song, it was awesome! XD
I remember when I first heard this, 4 seconds in and I knew it was gonna kick ass.
OH MY GOD! Seriously... listen to the lyrics... it fits very well about whats happening to the wolf and stuff.. but its amazing!!!!
great song. and thnxs for the lyrics
Goosebumps!! :D
THIS SONG!!! MEANING SO MANY THINGS FOR ME !!!
Sonata Arctica ...the best band ever !!!
Each and every one of their songs has an amazing message. Sonata Arctica - N1!
+Adamant NRaven Were you locked in a cage or something? :P
yea perhaps you can call it something like that , in fact i'm married with nature ..that's why love this song :)
Suddenly I realize what locks are for: Locking stuff.
Don't trust them, thieves are about!
dude,the one talking is a wolf its kinda ignorant to stuff
HAHAHAHAA OH MY OH JESUS OHDUDE i freakin love you oh man xDDDDD gonna laugh about this everytime now.
Kinky Suuu But this wolf can speak English, you would think he’d know the purpose of a lock 🤷♂️
3:24 i love that part
I love this song. The chorus is simply amazing.
Jens Johansson
One of the most mtal songs ever. another is Mr. Torture by Helloween
omg this song is just... perfect!
Sonata Arctica RULE !!! :D
The last repetition of the chorus from 4:05 to the end is absolutely beautiful. I really love this song; I'd say it's the song that really got me into Sonata Arctica.
Sonata Arctica as great as always, and always greater than ever
The first SA album I owned. The whole thing is incredibly dense and makes me feel like I'm in the thick of the forest. I absolutely love it, and this song as well. :)
A song with an amazing story- i can fall asleep to this
That's the font for Will and Grace. And as a fan of both, I appreciate it.
I am not an expert on Sonata Artica songs, but to me this song and 'This ain't your fairy tail' are the best wolf themed songs I've heard from this band.
This song is so perfect it hurts! \m/ Gotta love Sonata Artica!
Jani vs. Jens,another duel of GODS!
when I listen this during training, gives me a lot of strength
Who the f*ck can dislike a F*CKING EPIC SONG LIKE THIS ONE.
@Beaudereck No, the keys in this and 3 more songs of Winterheart's Guild are played by jens, but not composed :) However, it's the same, Jens and Henrik are a great keyboardists
because of u, i did that too
thanks for the great idea:)
whenever i hear the chorous i allways get goosebumbs :) amazing song
@HourGlass12342 Ye send shivers down my spine now THAT is music. not the crap other people make these days
Dream

Alive
"Untamed and free"!!!! That picture of the caged wolf makes me heartbroken.
love the video, keep them coming. By the way does anyone else think about the Space wolves while listening to this? oh well, For the All-Father!
Let's be honest, only 100,000 people have actually watched this video, they're just watching it over and over again. Also, does this song remind anyone else of Vegeta?
Very True about the 100,000 people watching it over and over.
classic powermetal albulm by awesome band from suomi.
Recién conozco este grupo y me encanta!
Love listening to sonta arcitica while reading some fantasy novels :), best combo :D:D
you're welcome, I mean, ones birthday is a great day, so why not start it with some great lyrics and music to cheer one up ;)
i love this song!!!! =) It's one of my favourites of Sonataaaa :D
I absolutely love this song!
you know instead of "innocent and unaware" i swear i heard "innocent underwear"
Nah, the underwear song is Last Drop Falls! lol :P
