Non tolkki stratosongs

Post by fifthtea_sausage » Thu Dec 30, 2004 8:08 am

I was wondering which strato songs were not written by Tolkki, but written by some1 else in the band?

I heard tomorrow recently, a reall cool song imo, and I realize Jens wrote it? Hrm...

Keep the Flame, Run Away, and all the others Joostice said. I don't like Kotipelto-composed songs that much, tho. I prefer Jens' :D

It's your opinion...:wink:

I like the songs composed by the different members of the band.
I think everyone has his/her own feelings about that a song expresses.

I'd say that Kotipelto has written some great lyrics like Father time, Paradise, Forever free, Black diamond, Eternity, It's a mystery...
It's my opinion.. :wink:

IMO, both Jens&Koti are very talented songwriters......I hope both these guys develop their gifts to the Max! :headbang:

Sure, Kotipelto writes great lyrics, but as for musicwriting I think Tolkki is waaaaaaaay better.

Yes, Timo Tolkki has written great music, but let the chance and time to Timo Kotipelto for writing more greatmusic.

Right!

There are lots of things like that... The last one I noticed is the riff in Night Time Eclipse (from 4:40) that sounds EXACTLY like the keyboard line in Anthem Of The World.

Tolkki is easily the best composer in Stratovarius, but in my opinion Kotipelto writes better lyrics.

And the final part of "Mother Gaia" and just after 8:10min of the song "elements"? both parts are very similar, I have to say that those are one of my favourite melodies of stratovarius, but, quite similar!

Isn't What Can I Say Kotipelto's song too? It is among the best Stratosongs ever created. I just love it!

she cloaks the world
in impenetrable darkness.
A chill rises
from the soil
and contaminates the air
suddenly...

I´ve just checked "Intermission" booklet.
Music and lyrics of "What Can I Say" belong to Koti

I think the next album should be a group effort- at least three of the guys are excellent writers I am sure the rest can contribute as well.
SHINE ON!
