what is your favorite song?

i know it's difficult to choose one,but to me,'forever'is my favorite



what's yours?

OH, so many to list...but i know of one song i've loved ever since i knew Stratovarius:

DESTINY!!!

This question is sooooooo unfair---it really is, because I hate to name one song. For the words, composition, sound--I say VISIONS.

For emotional tugs to the heart, I say TEARS OF ICE. That song is beautiful in its expression.

Yeah, It's really, really difficult to name one song.

But BLACK DIAMOND is a masterpiece.

Will The Sun Rise. I could write volumes praising that song.

How could I have forgot THAT one! to me! I love Black Diamond! :luv3:

It`s defintily The kiss of judas, because no other Strato song is that dark, that epic and has such a fantastic guitar solo. But I do love many, manysongs of`em, like Paradise, Black diamond, Infinity, Tomorrow, Forver ............. Can`t list `em.

Hello!!
Will the sun rise, Out of the shadows Know the Differense, Black diamond and Liberty is one of the bests song of course is it many more great song.
And of course is Stratovarius great

Very, very dificult question, not even the best 20 songs be easy.

But i say destiny.

ONE ? Wow, that's hard... I say Eagleheart but I coulld as well name five or six other ones (Black Diamond, Before The Winter, Forever, 4000 Rainy Nights and maybe Paradise)

I have a select few ultimate all-time faves that send the shivers down my spine on every listen.. perhaps the most prominent one being "Visions" (the slow, heavy riff in the beginning gets to me every single time..)
There's one song that makes me just stop on my heels and listen breathlessly.. "Eternity"
I'd also recommend "I Walk To My Own Song" from the way-underrated Elements Pt. 2 .. I just can't help loving that one. It's got this great positive & rocking feel to it. The chorus kicks some major ass, too.
"Soul Of A Vagabond" goes straight to my all-time faves because of the powerful, sort of majestic riffs and fine lyrics + Kotipelto's exceptionally beautiful vocals.
Energetic stuff also suits my musical tastes really well, so from that department one StratoClassic for me is "No Turning Back" - I just have to sing along to the chorus time after time after time.

ohh theres many...Forever, Legions, Destiny, Elements, etc etc etc

Soul of a Vagabond
Season of Change
Babylon
Season of Faith's Perfection
Awaken the Giant
Dreamweaver
Keep The Flame
Infinity
Visions
Speed of Light
Winter
Magic Carpet Ride
Thin Ice

black diamond
season of change
soul of a vagabond
SOS
4000 rainy nights
Hunting high'n'low

Its very dificult to choose the better. They are so many...
But the best to me is FOREVER. There are other like Father Time or I'm still alive that i like. But FOREVER is a song that i will ear forever.

Eternity and Find Your Own Voice are my favourites at the moment.

And now I'm gonna sing an Arch Enemy song:
AGAAAAAAAAAIN, AGAAAAAAAIN...

Father Time to me, no doubt. After this one, Hunting High and Low, Forever Free, Against the Wind, WMSERIP, Destiny...

Atm.. maybe The Abyss of your Eyes, Eyes of the World, The Curtains are Falling and Rebel.. these are the ones I find myself listening to the most lately, anyway

wow this is a hard one , but of course my fav is forever , but also :
-4000 rainy nights
-black diamond
-paradise
-destiny
-infinity

n' the list goes on...

Forever, but I have like 50 songs of Strato that I all like a lot. Forever has also some emotional value.

Well, if we all write down, what are favourite songSSSS are, then the list would be too long.

For me. .. . . Their greatest song is Season Of Change, ( I say for me ) 'cuz the music, the lyrics, the lenthg. . . . .every second of the song is great! the guitar, drums.. . . .Kotipelto. . . . . .. DAMN! But right after that one. . . .goes Eternity; I feel exactly like shaz

4000rainy nights, the first strato song i've ever heard..

the first half of Destiny is also great, i like the chorus..

Eagleheart

Soul of a Vagabond is a very good Metal song, too that I like very much!

Dave wrote:the first half of Destiny is also great, i like the chorus..

And the second one as well.

Okay, if we write lists, then here is mine:

01. Destiny

02. Paradise
03. Black Diamond
04. Will the Sun Rise?
05. Learning to Fly
06. Anthem of the World
07. Father Time

08. Coming Home
09. Before the Winter
10. Hunting High & Low

I won't go on with the list, 'cos it's very hard for me to make the best of list of my favourite band. The first 5 songs have always been in that order, since the Elements Tour 2003, and there was a little change later, 'cos AotW and FT changed places. And as you can see, Destiny is my very very favourite song. I have listened to it more than 1500 times (nearly 1600*), and I'm still not bored of it. Can you imagine that? And to those, who want to know, what power-melodic metal is, I suggest to listen to Destiny.

Ohh, and if you want to know, what is metal about, just listen to these songs, and keep an eye on the lyrics:
Forever Free, I Walk to My Own Song, Find Your Own Voice, Against the Wind, Rebel, Phoenix, Freedom. There are more songs, that I should have written, but these are the songs, that I could remember ATM. Ohh, and Hold on to Your Dream. It is good as well, and a must.

For me is absolutly best song "Black Diamond". Becouse, I was at one of the last Stratov gigs...And they play Black Diamond, as last song...It was fucking fast! And absolutly cool!!! since this time, I LOVE this song...

Ooooh Eternity.... my first Stratosong, very good indeed. And as Equinox said Season Of Change is also really good. Argh damn I could go on like this for hours.
