Hudba od “Stratošov” má svoju silu vďaka kombinácii výborných textov a power-metalu. Vybral som pár songov, ktoré mám od nich rád.

Aj napriek tomu, že sa texty zaoberajú pomerne zložitými a náročnými situáciami, nechýba im plne optimistický podtón. Vo svete plnom negatívnych správ nie je takýto postoj úplne bežný.

Hunting high and low

Ako prvú pieseň vyberiem určite Hunting high and low. Vydarený klip posúva význam piesne o úroveň ďalej.

I feel the wind in my hair
And it’s whispering, telling me things
Of the storm that is gathering near
Full of power I’m spreading my wings

Now I’m leaving my worries behind
Feel the freedom of body and mind
I am starting my journey, I’m drifting away with the wind
I go

I am Hunting High and Low
Diving from the sky above
Looking for, more and more, once again
I’m Hunting High and Low
Sometimes I may win sometimes I’ll lose
It’s just a game that I play

After the storm there’s a calm
Through the clouds shines a ray of the sun
I am carried from all of my harm
There is no one that I can’t outrun

Now I’m leaving my worries behind
Feel the freedom of body and mind
I am starting my journey, I’m drifting away with the wind
I go

I am Hunting High and Low
Diving from the sky above
Looking for, more and more, once again
I’m Hunting High and Low
Sometimes I may win sometimes I’ll lose
It’s just a game that I play

Eagleheart

Ďalšia pieseň je melodicky zaujímavá a plná energie.

All through the night he is lying awake
Wond’ring how much more can he take
Watching the walls where shadows dance
Drifting away into a trance.

And his eyes are blazing with fire

Dreams burnt to ashes so many times
Highest of mountains, still he climbs
Ready to fly cause he just can’t stay
Flame burning brighter with every day

And his eyes are blazing with fire
Longinng for the deepest desire

Heart of an eagle
He flies through the rainbow
Into a new world and finds the sun
Spreading his wings above all the sorrows
The glory of Eagleheart

Fever is burning in his veins
Determined with courage breaking the chains
Back against the wall under blood red skies
Prepared to fight until he dies.

Phoenix

Rozvinie podobnú tému ako predchádzajúca pieseň, ale trochu iným smerom.

I am facing the truth
I got to change the way I live
Can’t go on this way
The price is too high to pay

After the rain I feel the sun
See how I run to my destiny

Life is a game
I got to learn how to play
I make my own rules
‘Cause now I am free to choose

Courage and faith will show me the way
See how I run to my destiny

Like the Phoenix I rise
From the ashes of life
I don’t need fortune or fame
Just some peace of mind

Like the Phoenix I fly
Leaving the lies behind
Future’s golden for me
There is no one who can stop me now

I’m noble and strong
I’m walking down the road that I choose
Each day is a gift
And I know that I can’t lose

A glorious future’s awaiting me
See how I run to my destiny

Like the Phoenix I rise
From the ashes of life
I don’t need fortune or fame
Just some peace of mind

Like the Phoenix I fly
Leaving the lies behind
Future’s golden for me
There is no one who can stop me now

Cold winter nights

Zima nemusí byť len v zime.

Summer’s gone a while ago
The daylight dims away
I’m watching here how the snow begins to fall
Yesterday’s like a dream
A memory in my head
Like all the life’s gone behind the winter wall

I’m lighting up the candles and locking the door
Sitting by the fire
It’s time to dream some more

I have to find a way how to survive
I am surrounded by the starlight
I have to find the path
how to escape from the Cold Winter Nights
winter nights

And in the morning there’s no trace of the sun
Just gray fog hanging above my head
All the birds are quiet hiding in the woods
Can’t see no movement are they all dead?

I’m lighting up the candles and lock the door
Sitting by the fire
It’s time to dream some more

I have to find a way how to survive
I am surrounded by the starlight
I have to find the path
how to escape from the Cold Winter Nights
winter nights

I have to find a way how to survive
I am surrounded by the starlight
I have to find the path
how to escape from the Cold Winter Nights
winter nights
winter nights

Paradise

Environment friendly song.

Late at night I find myself again
Wondering and watching TV
I can’t believe what’s on the screen
Something that I wouldn’t like to see

Many rare species will perish soon
And we’ll be short on food
Why do we have to be so selfish
We’ve got to change our attitude

I know that I am not
The only one that’s worried
Why don’t we all
Wake up, and realize

Like the birds in the sky
We’re flying so high
Without making anykind of sacrifice
We’ve got so little time
To undo this crime
Or we’ll lose our paradise

It seems to me that there’s no sense at all
Nobody cares it’s always the same
Mother nature’s crying out in pain
I know we’re the one’s to blame

I walk to my own song

Výber zakončím piesňou o ceste k vlastnej piesni.

I’m walking the street and I hear what you say
Advising me, telling me how to play
I know your name, it’s called Mr.Mean
One thing I’ve learned you don’t know beans

High I fly
I touch the sky
Far above your frozen hearts
You can’t kill my dreams
You can’t kill my spirit
I was born to be free

I walk to my own song
Every day the power grows stronger in me
I walk to my own song
Head up proud
I’m the master of my own destiny

You think you know what is better for me
Holding me lectures of how I should be
Shrugging my shoulders I leave you behind
Anyway I look at it you are blind
