What songs of Strato really reach you, touch you, make you feel?
What songs move you to tears, maybe make you remember lost loves or loves you still have?
What songs give you an emotional boost, or give you a sense of spiritually?
(By Strato-based, I mean songs of individual members on their albums)

My picks would be: Are You the One? Forever, Tears of Ice, Beauty Has Come, Coming Home, Before the Winter, Venus in the Morning, Soldiers Prayer, 4000 Rainy Nights, Million Lightyears Away.

In terms of spirituality, or "feel good"energy I would have to say Infinity, Mother Gaia, Destiny, Galaxies, We Hold the Key, Hold on to Your Dream, Phoenix, Black Diamond.

I've known the songs for so long that they don't really give many emotions anymore, althrough I like Coming Home, I think it gives some feeling...

All strato-songs are beautiful, but most is definitely Coming Home. Some others in ~top10; Against The Wind, Mother Gaia, Out of the Shadows, Season of Change, Key To The Universe(!!), Wings of Tomorrow, Destiny.. Can't put in order, but Coming Home is definitely most beutiful.

As OotS said, all songs do but at the moment Tolkkis track Hymn To Life gets me all emotional.

Anyone else agree this track is emotionally powerful?

most touching songs:
Coming Home, Forever, Venus In The Morning, A Million Light Years Away, Mother Gaia

in another way special songs (I don't speak of romantic feelings, but in some other way very touching and meaningful) that reach me, having a special, mysterious meaning for me: Night Time Eclipse, Father Time, Destiny, When The Night Meets The Day, Galaxies

also special, but in a more depressing, disenchanting way:
Chasing Shadows, Twilight Symphony + Call Of The Wilderness, Around, Twilight Time

"feel good", emotionally boosting, in a positive way:
Tomorrow, Freedom, Out Of The Shadows, Hunting High & Low, Learning To Fly

The most touchy songs for me are: 4000 Rainy Nights, Forever, Future Shock, Tears Of Ice, Chasing Shadows, Out Of The Shadows, 4th Reich, Hold On To Your Dream, Dreamspace, Season Of Change, Black Diamond, The Abyss Of Your Eyes, Paradise, Coming Home, Before The Winter, Anthem Of The World, Destiny, Phoenix, Infinity, Will My Soul ever rest In Peace?, Keep The Flame, Fantasia, Dreamweaver, Awaken the Giant, Götterdämmerung(Zenith Of Power), The Land Of Ice And Snow, Leave The Tribe and United.

From Timo Tolkki: Back In The Ice Age, Firedance Suite, Soldiers' Prayer, Father (which really makes me cry as a fountain) and Dear God.

Ok, I should have put the complete discography

Ufff, a tought question

Coming Home, The Eyes of the World, Will My Soul Ever Rest In Peace?, Season of Change, Tears of Ice, Years Go By, Destiny, Season of Faith's Perfection, Back To Madness...and many many many others

...and I have to mention one more song that always makes me feel better and less depressed - I Walk To My Own Song!

I agree. And Back to Madness and Season of Change gets me emotional.
But the most touchy for me is an album: Elements pt 1 - every note is in it proper place.
And I like the happy metal-feel tracks like Find Your Own Voice, Freedom, Tomorrow, and Eagle Fly Free ok, this is Helloween sorry

nothig compares to Liberty

it´s son happy, hopefull and beautiful it´s a great song with great lyrics

ver touching to me

Hmm, tough one.


Coming Home, Season of Change, Infinity, A Million Light Years Away, The Abyss of Your Eyes, Forever (duh!) and Stratosphere plus the ending solo of Twilight Symphony are just plain brilliant and beautiful.

Oh I forgot, Alpha & Omega gets me really nostalgic feeling, so does awaken the giant but not as much.

Wow, that is really tough because I have many different moods and Strato has so many different songs to fit those moods.

I would say for me, that right now at this very minute, the Strato song that is closest to my heart is "Will my Soul Ever Rest in Peace?". I have always felt a strong personal attachment to the lyrics and now due to some personal things going on in my life, the words have even more meaning to me.

There are so many other songs but I haven't been to the forum in a while so I don't want to bore anyone by typing all night.

Tolkkis track Hymn To Life gets me all emotional.

This songs are really touching:
Season of Change - especially at Visions of Europe... mmm... especially part after solo... "...and the meaning of this life is to live and is to die..." and so on... and such emotionally filled music here... It's really excellent...
Dear God - its lyrics... it's just incredible and scaring, very scaring if you try to think about all this words... I just can't simply listen it... And music... Music really strengthens filling about all this. Its soft at the beginning and justified aпgressive after solo, such aggressive that strikes me...
And finally "Father"... I just can't find words... This is unbelievably touching song...
