  I want to thank Harhakuvitelma for letting me to use this song. Without his permission and the song this video couldn't have been done. Thank you very much!
  
  This is actually remake of the older video that I made two years ago. The idea and music were back then the good points but the video itself weren't the best quality so I made a better version of it. This version too has some flaws but I don't think that I will fix them since fixing AMV's isn't pleasant thing to do. I can only learn what's wrong now and avoid repeating them in next videos that I'll make in the future.
  
  Tools: VirtualDUB, Photoshop 7.0 and Windows Movie Maker (yes, that "wannabe-AMV-program" from hell).
  
  Some translations for those who don't speak/understand Finnish:
  
  Beginning text "Ilman siipiä ei lintukaan voi lentää" = "Without wings even bird can't fly." This is a Finnish proverb that I chose for this video. It symbols pretty well the theme and Lain too.
  
  Lyrics in English:
  
  Erään ihmisen tarina / One person's story
  
  Day one: the girl woke up this morning
  Her hair was in mess and face like ghost's
  There was no firends waiting on the street
  Like in the past the yesterday lives again
  She didn't want to go school anymore
  'cause everybody teased her without reason
  She was romantic and never got used to the world
  but she still knew how life can be cruel
  
  Again, she went to school
  tried to be invisible so that no one couldn't see her
  She was quiet all day long
  hoping that she would survive
  Even the teachers didn't see when sometimes
  the girl cried on corridor
  She didn't want to move on anymore
  all the happiness were turned into sadness
  
  No one didn't care or understand
  how disapointed you can be if you always have been searching for happiness
  and when you don't have any strenght
  When you notice that you can't catch it
  
  No one didn't care or understand
  how disapointed you can be if you always have been searching for happiness
  an when you don't have any strenght
  
  Day two: the girl slep whole day now
  It was weekend and finally she could breath even a little bit
  But it was hard to have fun alone
  because she still didn't have any friends
  When she woke up, she started to pray
  hoping that she could get some strenght to survive
  But she knew that heaven was locked today
  like it always was from her
  
  There's no point trying if you never succeed
  she knew it and got depressed
  She knew that she didn't want to live anymore
  so she wrote a suicide note
  She wrote:
  
  "Sleep can't help anymore in tiredness.
  Neither the clock can't help me to wake up"
  
  No one didn't care or understand
  how disapointed you can be if you always have been searching for happiness
  and when you don't have any strenght
  When you notice that you can't catch it
  
  No one didn't care or understand
  how disapointed you can be if you always have been searching for happiness
  an when you don't have any strenght
