Re: "Keep the flame" - the song!
I think "Keep the Flame" is a very meaningful song at this time!

Re: "Keep the flame" - the song!
I listened to it yesterday too. I haven't listened any Intermission song so much, even though they're masterpieces (as all the other Stratosongs). I really like that Jens and Koti had the chance to compose some new songs. And the tribute songs are cool as well.

Re: "Keep the flame" - the song!
i adore Intermission, and I adore Keep the Flame. I did these 2 CDs with my then-girlfriend, one originals CD, and the other was Keep the Flame. I covered Keep the Flame ... ugg, it's so bad! Haha... well, it meant a lot at the time, because i recorded it the same day/time my aunt died, without knowing it. Weird.
but yeah, it's a great song Well, not my version of it, haha, but...

Re: "Keep the flame" - the song!
I love Intermission too. I mean, it's not supposed to be a "proper" album with the flow and fitting of songs, it's a treat for the fans with all the bonuses and live songs etc.
I love it! Keep the Flame is one of the most beautiful ballads I have ever heard. I want it to be played at my funeral. (seriously..)

Every once in a while, a Keep The Flame topic appears. Yes, this song is one of Jens' finest, and a masterpiece.

Re: "Keep the flame" - the song!
If Strato continues, I hope to God TT allows Jens to put his songs on the remaining albums because it is evident Jens is a talented songwriter whose talents must not be quelched.

Stratoballads:
1) Forever
2) Coming Home
3) Tears Of Ice (like BEG said, I don't know whether it's a ballad or not, but it's a great song)
Other ballads:
1)Lamente Eroico - Rhapsody (their best ballad I heard of them)
2) Pieces - Anthrax (this was a bonus track on 'Volume 8 - The Threat Is Real')
3) Timeless Oceans - Luca Turilli
Can't think of more

Re: "Keep the flame" - the song!
Yep--Dream with Me is a great ballad.
I thought this was a love song for a woman, but its really about 2 MALE friends who have grown apart in their friendship. In any case, its a very beautiful song written by Koti. Whoever says he is not a talented songwriter needs their damn head examined!

Re: Re: Re: Re: "Keep the flame" - the song!
I guess he wrote the song&music, but they had an orchestra come in when they recorded Episode. The orchestra probably did alot of the composition but, it could have just been mixed into the recording.timo the soulforged wrote:it shows... but the link i put can't be wrong because i make copy-paste....anyway it doesn't matter.....would u reply to my post u have quoted??!!!browneyedgirl wrote:I'm trying to figure out whats wrong with your sig.timo the soulforged wrote:

Re: "Keep the flame" - the song!
keep the flame reminds me of stratovarius's prediciment and of a song by one of History's greatest bands, the Beatles called "Free as a Bird" tell me if you agree. k.
here are the lyrics
Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings
Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...
Free as a bird
Like the next best thing to be

Ah...
Ah...
Ah...
Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be

Oooooo
Free...
Turn out nice again, mother.
