That is a beautiful, touching song--one of Tolkki's best. It says everything about the hardship of war from one who lives it--the soldier. I don't know if TT was ever in the armed forces, but this song sums up the emotions that run through military people on the front lines.
People should write the lyrics down&give theirs sons/daughters a copy of it to carry with them when they are shipped out--I don't know---seems the words would help.

Maybe lyrics are not about something fun and nice, but thanks to the music this song could be a hit, very melodic, easy to remember after first hear. I wonder why such songs are no promoted, maybe artist don't want this, or maybe it was a hit in Finland, or somewhere ten years ago?

Maybe Soldier's Prayer (or whole CVAT album) is not promoted because this solo album just isn't for big crowds. 9 songs of 11 are instrumentals and I don't think so that Tolkki wanted to promote his solo album so much (maybe small budget?).

IMO CVAT is great album with full of classics, many times better than many stratoalbums.

Yeah, CVAT is one of my fav Albums. I hope TT someday does another like it.

I think the same about hammerfall albums and Magnus Rosen solo ones...Magnus solo stuff are ABSOLUTELY superior and much more cool than anything that Oscar and Joacim can do.

CVAT is a good album, yeah...i think that its better than elements.

Classical Variations and Themes was a very famous cd in Mexico.
I bought it years ago and i still see it everywhere, it's somehow strange you didn't know about it, but i sugegst you get it right now!!! it is a masterpiece, believe me

"Solitude" comes as a bonus track, an extraordinare and depressive ballad.

Interesting that the album is famous in Mexico but nearly unknown in Finland (at least nowadays).

Well, I´ve heard rumours the SA & Mex bonus "Solitude" is though sung by Kotipelto, right? If it is so then it´s very odd situation. A Strato-song made later with Kotipelto on vocals on Tolkki´s solo slbum.

That's true. I couldn't believe my ears when I first heard the song. Stratofanius couldn't even believe me when I told him about it. I just listened the song and wondered why is Tolkki singing so strangely and then I realized it was Kotipelto singing. Great song, BTW!

i love solitude, i remember when i first listened to it i was so depressed (5 years ago aprox. a friend of my passed away and i was in a downhill), an that song really fit with me.
