I did it my way lyrics: Look at me, do you see All the things you could be, if you see Many more, usually, suddenly They are clear when you are up against the wall Fade away, nevermore, ultimate autobahn, many cars speeding up No police, and no tease, maybe better cos you wanna say And it's ok I don't wanna do the things you say I don't wanna play the game you play I just wanna make the best of what i can believe to be I don't wanna fight if that's okay Change but I really find some last game (i have no idea about this) I just wanna walk the road I paved with myself I did it my way Then you say, you will pay, but you can't pay it up And its rough, for a guy like you are, with your change You just think that you can buy your way to hell What I say, I will say but you don't care about anyway Hemingway, library, misery Cos you wanna rule the game yourself But it's ok...
Born upon the cross: It's a long way to the nowhere And the answers must be found With a crazy smile the people Give away the setting sun If there only would be a way If there only would be will Then we wouldnt have to go through Whats awaiting As i walk along this road That i've chosen for myself I've seen so many mountains I have seen so many claim Is there end to all this madness Is there end to all this pain Is there reason for the sadness Is there reason for the pain There are many who have chosen Only fear, past and cold Desperation leads to nowhere Only neon knights are saved As the world prances to chaos I remind to myself: That salvation lies inside of me And we are... We are born upon the Cross Please save my soul Born upon a Cross Please save my soul
Heroes: Look through yourself, hear what i say The answer is inside a pillu Hear what you are, do what you say Or you just might let it out accidentally It doesnt matter In joulupöytä As long as you'll find kilo kinkkuu Dreams are needed, not anymore Cos you might be busted by Carlos Still we turn around And without a sound We will pave the way to us We are heroes in the night Living at the all the fight Though the warriors are little tired That's okay Gonna fly in peace Gonna die another day Gonna stay here 'round for now Cos we are heroes Heroes of the light We are heroes of the night Living at the all the fight Though the warriors are little tired That's okay Gonna fly in peace Gonna die another day Gonna stay here 'round for now Cos' we are heroes Heroes of the light
Revolution renaissance: When the sun's setting down All the answers must found Many people can fare with the lonely And the campers will stay Many tens they will play On the mountain of the lost and the lonely If there's a will, there is a way I find the pressure rather mean unless its day Just look the eye up to the sky And see the mystery is calling so low Waiting for sun Waiting for moon, it is close Praying for fun Sailing away it is true... Revolution, evolution Revolution Renaissance Evolution, revolution Tears in my eyes everyday Revolution, evolution, Revolution Renaissance Evolution, revolution This in my mind to stay When you open the box Will you only find ?? Of the dreams that you lost long ago Is it just here to stay? Is it for you to play? Or your might get it up once again If there's a will...
Keep the flame alive: I have walked this lonely road A thousand years, it's paved with bitter tears I have swam across the sea Just to find a way back home I have been everywhere I have seen what I should not seen Still I'm here on this road Just to find where i belong In my soul, in my heart Weariness tears apart Still i walk on this road So my friends...keep the flame alive
Eden is burning: Where is the conscience of the world? Where is the answer to the bird? And i see hideaway And its here to stay But where is the conscience of the world? Man against another man I see Whole creation aiming seamlessly And will we learn to give? Will we learn to live? Cause we are the conscience of the world What if we turn around? Eden is burning What if we make the sound? Eden is burning Is there another way? Eden is burning The price is too high to pay Eden is burning
Não que a banda hoje nao seja boa, continua otima. Para o povo nordico é dificil perdoar uma pisada na bola tão grande como foi feito pelo timo tolki... e ele reconhece isto.
En este disco podríamos decir que están las bases de todas las canciones de Stratovarius. Quizás no tanto para fright night, twilight time y dreamspace, pero sí desde el 4th.
Not every band can boast having a demo size of a whole album, which is also only marginally worse than their other output. Awesome stuff. By the way, "Born Upon The Cross" is a nod towards Dio's "Strange Highways".
I really enjoyed this demo album. Better that it never went to studio anyway since they always make their albums with an overproduced, sterile sound. This sounds more organic and raw. Should be released on CD as is.
Great post! Thank you so much! But thanx Heaven's Michael Kiske ended up recording the song "Angel". (PS: Kotipelto is a demigod to me. 100% respect for him)
I think that the lost song from the sessions may be Icarus. Sounds like the classic Stratovarius hymns, those 7-minute, long-running and orchestrated hymns. In a way, it reminds me of songs from the Elements era. With that pomposity, melodies and orchestrated sounds so characteristic. Dance of the Death Star it's a song without Tolkki when shortly after it was announced that Revolution Renaissance was breaking up, this song appeared on the official website. Guitars are recorded by Santtu Lehtiniemi. And Loneliness of a 1000 Years it's more related to Timo's book, of the same name and that, he had already been writing since the time of Hymn To Life... and after his health problems before breaking up with Stratovarius. This one sounds very different and is closer to his solo works or earlier Strato times.
I think of this album could be one of the best of Strato. So sad, I miss you Tolkki, so, so much, the band is not the same. But Ey, in the last album they sound pretty good.
Opinion: It's a pity Last Night on Earth had those totally random demo lyrics as I love everything else in the song! The mix, the drums, and the astonishing solo from Timo Tolkki. But I still can't take that demo serious enough.
This is not bad, but it's true that Polaris was better. Forever Is Today for example is one of my favorite songs :) Maybe the other 2 albums from R.R can compete with Polaris, "Let It Rain" from Trinity, what a song!.
Quizás una melodía reciclada? Me parece un poco raro mas no imposible que Timo Tolkki se haya quedado con los derechos creativos de todas las canciones al hacer luego New Era con Revolution Renaissance. Capaz que esa misma melodía de coro la haya compuesto Jens y entonces reutilizado en Polaris. De todas formas, Polaris no fue el álbum más original de Strato, aunque sí muy necesario.
I don’t know if you still respond to comments but if I may ask how did you get this? I would love to find a CD version of this somehow but I can’t find one anywhere. This Stratovarius version is better than the Revolution Renaissance one in my opinion.
This is actually a really easy to find piece of media, there's been a lot of download links from many forums and people keep uploading them, but the thing is, there's no CD version, as far as I know. I think there's a picture of a disk on metallum but that's the only small hint of a CD version out there. The leyend says that once Stratovarius disbanded in 2008, they dropped these demos on their official website for a while, from then on, people reuploaded them.
@@oslamphoenix9871 yea I saw everywhere people had these demos online and your own video here I could listen to the entire things which is great. Wanted to find a CD version tho to add to my Stratovarius collection because I have all of their albums and I dig this one even tho it’s a demo.
Gonzalo Ferrer Brito I was gonna say a similar thing. I loved their self stratovarius' self titled album, but it also seemed a little too not stratovarius. This album wouldn't have worked under the strato banner. It's too subdued to work well with kotipelto's voice as well as it does with kiske. At least polaris is there..
I think best albums are with tolkki... Not be a very great composition, but I love his armonies and melodies. I think that Kupiainen is an excelent guitar player, but Timo Tolkki is the head of this great band called stratovarius
A qué te refieres con versión de Tolkki y versión de Kotipelto? Me imagino que estás hablando de las versiones de Revolution Renaissance y la de Stratovarius (ésta) Y respecto a eso, pues al ser demos han sido lanzados de forma extraoficial. Por lo tanto muy poca gente los ha escuchado y no hay booklet que tenga la letra oficial, tampoco ha habido gente que se preste a crear un registo de ésta canción en páginas de letras.
@@oslamphoenix9871 exacto a eso me refiero amigo,la version de Revolution Renaissance si tiene la letra de We Are Magic,la version de Stratovarius no,si buscas en google te sale solo la letra de R.R,pero de Stratovarius no..es como si no existiera la letra jajaja
His voice actually changed many years after this recording, they changed in 2011. Consider these are demos so they don't need vocals to be in their best shape
@@oslamphoenix9871 I see. Hes the only power metal singer I know that has a noticeable voice change. BTW we had a conversation the other day about "glory of the world" being played live, so I asked Tolkki in the Rat Salad Review interviews and he said they played it live many times. Do we take his word on it? I dont believe him completely xD
You really should correct the title and content of this video. Revolution Renaissance have nothing else to do with Stratovarius than Timo Tolkki (whose solo project this is) is a former member of Stratovarius! Other players or the singers in the album have not even ever been members of Stratovarius.
Every single demo of this video have been played by Jorg, Jens, Lauri, and both Timo K. and Timo Tolkki between 2006 and 2007, aka Stratovarius, as this album was meant to be theirs. Then the members disbanded and Tolkki decided to create the band Revolution Renaissance.
@@oslamphoenix9871 So?? None of them plays on this cd. It eventually was released as a Timo T's solo project and with other players . I'm so sorry if I know the drummer and one of the singers from this album and I have owned it from the day it was released.
@@sidiys I think you're confusing the final 2008 CD release from the 2006 demos. These 2006 demos were recorded by Stratovarius, and it's pretty clear that this is Timo Kotipelto's voice throughout this video's songs. Of course the final 2008 New Era release was then performed by other members that weren't in Strato except Timo Tolkki, who owns the song rights. If this demo album is not enough proof, I also added in the description a video from their official channel that dates from 2006 where you can see Jörg playing the drums for Born Upon the Cross, and the R...R... project title. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mzRRPL0qAOg.html
This is better than Polaris, I really don´t like Polaris, for me the only good songs on Polaris is just Forever is Today, Higher we go and blind. The rest I think is very bad
IMO Polaris it's forgiven as it's their first album without the leader. Pretty much their first own album (as Tolkki made 70% of the work). I also think Polaris is not that good but it was necesary in order for Stratovarius to continue without Tolkki and make Elysium, Nemesis and Eternal
