[Pumkin57]

unplug the computers from his voice. Let him sit or stand beside you and ask him to sing this song "pure"

[foundintranslation3]

absolutely epic!

[Azurian]

The Elements albums are by far Stratovarius' best work.

Great song.

[shuttsworth]

Tolkki FTW!!!!!

[xxfallingshadowxx]

My dad introduced me to Stratovarius. First off.. Thank you dad for having such a sound. Second.. Thank you Stratovarius for following your dreams and playing to the crowd so that others can understand the depths of music. Though many bands have potential. You guys to me are original. -justyn

[AnEndlessPain]

@xxfallingshadowxx Lol dude, your dad is surely an awesome guy. If him likes this... Stratovarius Forever and Ever!!! \m/

[remuaja84]

@xxfallingshadowxx Hey my dad did that too, and Stratovarius is my favourite band now(been for what 10 years?).

[diruxs1331]

hermoso

[thyangel83]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!

[spartanHOA]

i listened to this song a couple weeks ago for the first and only time, then last night i had a dream with the intro lol

[ivangelion030366]

Thumbs up if you think Elements Pt 1 is WAY superior to Elements Pt 2!!

[gunsdf]

@ivangelion030366 ohhh yeah!!!

[arkan5000]

if we could only scream like that to express our selves....

[metaleromar1]

wonderful intro awesome

[LelouchMeta]

thats not what I would call power metal but its still fantastic

[pleboosh]

11 people are never going to hear again when i find them for their dislike of this beautiful song

[sumrandomperson009]

2:15 = most emotionally stirring chorus I've heard

[DeathcoreIsNotMetal]

It wouldn't be power metal without a beautiful album cover.

[IamLegend921]

wonderfull, i never knew that metal can be soo touching... the chorus made me cry so hard

[MerCrux]

A wonderful song from a wonderful band!

[BranwynCheesentim]

what's a papillon....unless they made it up.....

[ZenHara5aki]

@BranwynCheesentim Its french for butterfly, and it also is a type of dog. That's all I know.

[iLikeNachooooz]

@BranwynCheesentim

french for butterfly if I'm not to far off ^^

[TommyLuthi]

@BranwynCheesentim it means butterfly in french

[rammsteincoverband]

Why is the best song they do (this one) never done live?

[100nawa]

@rammsteincoverband: Because Kotipelto's voice is far from perfect live, he wouldn't be able to sing it nowadays. Which is a pity. :/

[Ag0rak]

just....beautiful....

[wurstgitarre]

I actually cried to this song, just like I did to "Fantasia". Touching

[Maileise]

Great Song , ..just incredible ... the accent doesn't matter AT ALL ... it's so powerful and beautiful ... kiiling part comes from 2:13 ... makes you want to SCREAM ... wishing to be able to sing like that ...

[epassamiDevon]

trying to listen this with eyes closed.... fields of bright butterflies on a grey cloudy sky...... great stratovarius....

[Harder08]

Papillon is the french word for butterfly.

The song is so beautiful, like the animal.

[AdolphX]

o.o animal?...you mean the insect o.o? (butterflies are insects o.o)

[Harder08]

Yeah like the insect, srry...

[100nawa]

@AdolphX: Not everyone here is native English speaker. E.g. I am a Czech and in Czech we translate "animal" as "zvíře", but the meaning of the Czech word comprises all living things except for flowers and fungi. So under "zvíře" category, there belongs mammals, birds, insects, reptiles, amphibians, dinosaurs everything. So when I see "animal" I see also everything, including insects, although for English speaking person it is something completely different. It's probably similat case with French

[AdolphX]

@100nawa actually im a native spanish speaker, and in spanish is the same has in english...so I tought it was the same for every language...=S srry didint knew that, you always learn something new every day thnks

[TommyLuthi]

@AdolphX insects are animals...

[AdolphX]

@TommyLuthi lol ok if you are happier that way

[GandalfTheMad]

Just great, how somebody can have such talent to create music like this...

[Jokeroification]

@GandalfTheMad be greatful someone have such talent ;p

[TheDragon582]

Recien conosco este tema... y lo encontre muy weno!!

[guerrerosdelmetalmex]

[QueenBeatles4ever3]

[Maileise]

[malgainx]

[MuaySar]

[metallkristian]

jajaj en too caso..wena washo..xD

[Xonegod]

What a shortsighted prespective you have. Unless you are living in cofusion or stating a lie. For to "love Stratovarius" yet consider this one song filler is the very definition of a paradox; As most of Strato's songs are in this dept and range.

..X..

[domros123]

Sounds like Anette singing the beginning of the song!!

[Dragonheardt]

Shinei

[mazanylisak01]

one of the best songs stratovarius recorded IMHO

[3y3S9y]

This song is about Zhuangzi. A chinese philosopher who dreamt he was a butterfly. its really good stuff, look it up, theres a wikipedia article, just type Zhuangzi. When he woke up, he didn't know wether he was a man dreaming as a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming as a man. deep stuff. this song evokes the whole story very proper like. thumbs up. i am papillon.

[FlinkerDifar]

Papillon is the Nickname of french convict and author Henri Charriere. He was arrested innocently, broke out several times and wrote a book, called "Papillon" about his adventures. Go ahead and read it.

[mazanylisak01]

this song really isn't about Henri Charriere....

[latze77]

U HAVE TO LISTEN ANATHEMA "j'ai fait unne promesse " .there are similarities between these 2 songs .

whatever marvelous song.

[laurentiucinca]

10/10

[MintSyrop]

Semplicemente stupenda =D

[StratovariusFTW]

I love this song :D its pure awesomness

[febris1936]

its just perfect... this song came up to my mind this morning... i havent heard it for two years... and it arouses the same feelings i had when i heard it for the very first time...

wow...

[MaGiatiVre]

lol that's what I did just now. I used to listen to stratovarius so long ago. It does wake up some good memories...

[BuLLeT2Kaii8]

omg what a song im in tears

[hiiopy2]

Most beautiful song on the planet.

[PrueStar]

Thanks for someone telling me what Papillon because I think I looked it up and it also was a breed of a dog...but I like the French butterfly so much better :D

[tchatzop]

I think TT was right. Stratovarius should end up with this album. The perfect album. The hymn of music. This one (and Visions of europe as well) are my favourite ones from this band.

[Coccilover]

Most beautiful of Stratovarius !!!!! 5/5

[syssifus]

the beauty of a song is not to describe by simple words.

If you have ears to hear just listen.

There is no need to fight about taste - every body has it's own one. We should respect it - like the song.

[link727COBHC]

wonderfull song, u cant say more!!!

probably this is the reason, why this vid. have so less comments...

[ridethesky1]

what's papillon?

[ibanez150690]

that's the word "butterfly" in french

[MRpipem]

este es un muy buen tema de stratovarius aunque un poco desconosido xD

pero aun a si bueno ^^

[aletallica]

excellent, although is pity that the deny GOD

[divine0enigma]

It's a pity you believe in him.

[questionabledeeds7]

Its a pity idiots liek the 2 of u bring it up and ruin a good song.

[divine0enigma]

Quite sorry I ruined the song for you. I'm sure you're crying about it.
