In Flamesin laulaja kirjoitti ”Here Until Forever” -kappaleen omalle pojalleen
In Flamesin vokalisti Anders Fridén antoi hiljattain haastattelun hollantilaiselle FaceCulture-musiikkikanavalle. Fridén kertoi yhtyeen uusimman ”Battles” -albumin ”Here Until Forever” -kappaleesta, jonka kirjoitti omalle 8-vuotiaalle pojalleen. Hän on aiemmin kirjoittanut myös tyttärelleen kappaleen, joka on vuonna 2006 ilmestynyt ”Come Clarity”. Andersin poika oli ihmetellyt missä on hänelle omistettu laulu, ja nyt mies koki hetken oikeaksi. Katso laulajan kommentit sekä haastatteluvideon tästä:
”’Here Until Forever’ was written for my son. He’s eight years old. I have this piece here, ’Come Clarity’, which I wrote for my daughter when she was two. And he’s seen that, and he asked all the time, ’Daddy, where’s my song?’ And I don’t think I’d been ready to write something that would make him justice. But now… yeah, I was ready. So that one is, obviously, the most personal one, because it’s very directed towards one person, for me. But I think the lyric is open for interpretation; it could be for anyone — someone that you love, or someone that you missed, or someone that you have a special bond with.”
Fridénilta kysyttiin onko hänen poikansa kuullut kyseisen kappaleen ja mitä piti siitä. Laulaja vastasi:
”He heard it. I think he cried the first time [he listened to it], ’cause he was so proud: ’This is about me.’ And it’s an important track, because we… You know, we are away [from each other] many months a year, and we have a little thing, me and him, for how we connect… If he feels sad and he wants to contact me, then we have a certain thing that I taught him to… so he feels safe.”
”I think he’s super proud of that song. And then he can tell his friends, ’This is my song.’ Stuff like that.”
