Stratovarius - Hold On To Your Dream

[TheBrunozxc]

I prefer my band's version of this song ;D

but well... none shall compare to the myths...

[Abitovsloth]

great song! one of stratovarius best, next to Fright Night

[PaoloBaixista]

@Abitovsloth from fright night, I'd prefer black night and future shock. but lol, stratovarius is, after all, the best power metal band ever, so it doesn't matter!

[Abitovsloth]

@PaoloBaixista i will agree with that strato is the best power metal band. and a plus is that they still write some killer records \m/

[Sagittarel]

Tolkki best singer

[kirkpati39]

Thumbs up if u still listening thatt at 2011...

[Choctaw468]

I'm so fucking glad this band was recommended to me \m/ 

[psycicpowers]

i remember listening to this album years ago, this is 100% Stratovarius's darkest album, and i never grow tired of it

[klebom]

miss Timo Tolki on the vocals, definitely Stratovarius' best times.

This tune gives me the chills.

Hail from Brazil!!

[LAHAR1000]

it's very hard thing to do hold on to my dreams and it's hard to move on too and leave the past behind

[Sabbathman1979]

This is an award-winning song in case you didn't know it. Maybe the best song on the album. Surely one of the best Stratovarius ever made. Surely one of the greatest metal songs from Finland.

So many great memories, so many personal emotions...

[jufrabappa]

so sad that the band isnt what they were back then..its sad but nothing is eternal...

[ilupir77]

I've been playing acoustic guitar and singing pop/rock covers on the street lately. This is definitely going to be included in my next set. I'll learn the song in a day. Meanwhile you can check out the songs on my channel...not very metal, hey, just acoustic stuff in there but you might like some of the songs. Cheers! -ilupir77

[Victor32982737]

Pow q pena esse guitarrista saiu da banda :(

uma das melhores banda q eu ja ouvi *---*

[ggonza43]

@FIxt00l I rarely comment on my own videos, and especially when people tend to flood them with stupid and childish discussions. I always say that everybody has their own opinions, and there's no reason for me to interfere and change their way of thinking; but you now what gets on my nerves? People like YOU that the only purpose they have in life is to make a comment disregarding a video just to troll around. Listen, if you don't like it, don't fucking watch it!

[marlonalejo]

@ggonza43 hi gonzi.....that guy sucks.....he is a mother focker...don´t waste our time thinking about him,,,

[PanagosGr33kG134EVER]

@ggonza43 obviously an obvious troll

[eljorge17]

@FIxt00l

Ladies and Gentlemen don't put attention to this stupid commentary

man listen to destiny, infinity, mother gaia, speed of light, stratopshere, holy light, will the sun rise these songs are very different to "i want out" and i think better... please don't put stupid things on Stratovarius videos, you don't have arguments to say that

[FIxt00l]

@eljorge17 Excuse me, but are you blind, deaf or dumb, or do you have any other medical problems? Listen to the notes, the instrumental, the harmony, it is absolutely the same?!Sorry, but if you cannot clearly see that this is I want out, then you do not have the right to even say a word, n00b.You do not have the knowledge to identify plagiarism, and yet you dare argue with me? Pathetic.

[eljorge17]

@FIxt00l and i said to you the same thing, are you blind!! WTF man destiny a copy of i want out??? mother gaia???? stratopshere?? Weikath and Hansen will never have the feeling to create that, damn it man you are the noob the TROLL but okey like Tolkki said live as you want, if you want to live as a troll and a "noob" okey, and i dont want to disscuse i have better thing to do like HEAR THE EPIC SONGS OF STRATOVARIUS.......

[Metalforthewinn]

@FIxt00l I love Helloween, I love Gamma Ray, I love Stratovarius. I love this song, I love I Want Out, I love GOOD power metal, all of these bands are very good. There may be similarity with I Want Out but WHO CARES? Keep your stupid comparison in your own mind and don't come to tell your stories here kthxbye, nobody cares and you just make yourself a fool here.

[ronyjalilmacias]

@FIxt00l LA MADRE QUE TE PARIO IMBECIL JIRIPOLLAS

SEE IN YOU LANGUAJE TO YOU WILL CAN KNOW WHAT I SAY STUPID

[TheCheccoFrancesco]

@FIxt00l Ma te c'hai 'na bella botta

[Corrosive1]

@FIxt00l Oh boy. I love Strato over Helloween, Blind Guardian, Edguy, Rhapsody and Avantasia. U mad?

[moviemaker3000]

I like how as you go through the albums, the songs keep getting better and better...until the self titled one. And then boom Polaris, and then BOOM Elysium!

[TheHucore]

This is your chance

Your love your romance

Hold on to your dream and never give up

in your life - Hold on to your Dream

[SuperstarX]

great song by one of the greatest bands from Finland.

[stdelcambre]

Gah, the opening intro reminds me so much of something that should have been playing during flight scenes of Top Gun or the SNES game UN Squadron. Also imagine a medley where instead of the orchestra hit at the :24 second mark it goes into the :46 mark of the song Twilight Time. DAAAAANGER ZOOOOOONE!

[violentgamer4]

How far back do these guys go? The tone of the guitar here kind of sounds like something you'd here in an 80's rock so for curiosity's sake...

[gatesoflife7]

@violentgamer4 they were first formed in 1989

[QazKFD]

@gatesoflife7 More like 1984.

[Jaguarwarrior5]

que musica linda

[StratovariusElysium]

@Jaguarwarrior5 é brother realmente é linda,mas infelizmente o nosso Brasil está perdido na nova geração "colorida" e não sabem apreciar a verdadeira musica como esta.Não se é mais avaliado a técnica q é usada na música,mas apenas se ela é popular =/

fiko triste...Mais contente pelo Strato Que até hoje faz musicas maravilhosas

STRATORULES!!!!!!

[FurbyParade226]

0:24 Orchestral Hit FTW!

[Bohemia220]

Not to mention their awesome CD covers.

[Lys2695]

It's about 15 years i bought dreamspace, and i still love this record so much! Timo's voice is just unique, and this song... It came also at the right time, and even now it's empowering!

Thanx Timo for such a great album, you can't imagine how you helped some of us ; )

[Funeralmoon666]

I couldnt have found this song at a better time in my life, I can relate to these lyrics a lot and just when i was about to give up on everything, i heard this chorus.

Thank you Stratovarius

[gloutonny]

Notre chanson à tous les deux ... <3 <3 <3

[capoghilardi]

great

[LocoJuan036]

temazo !

nada mas ke decir !!

[ANDRESHEAVY878]

BRUTALLLL

[perpetual61]

Timo Tolkki Forever ! He had A Voice that didn't Kill my ears when sang The High Notes. I have always Loved Tolkki's Voice way Better than Koltipelto's. I will be a fan of his because if it wasn't for him I wouldnt have been into the Band in the first place.

[AotearoaSoldier17]

stratovarius is the most awesome metal band ever. why? because their songs bring positive messages unlike most other metal who only sing about death and stuff like that

[7209224319]

To nej co jsem od nich kdy slyšel. Ale to neznamená že ostetní nejsou dobré, ale nej musí být vždy jenom jedna.

[7uptheirons]

i think the acoustic version is better,but its wortwile hearing it!

[GammaRay1337]

Tolkki knew just how to inspire people and make them feel better :)

[SapientesGladio]

This is one of my faves. The album itself is absolute gold. I don't really like the unplugged version of this song though, because Kotipelto butchers it. Tolkki forever <3.

[SapientesGladio]

Tolkki must've been very influenced by Helloween as the rhythm sounds a lot like "I Want Out" :).

[TheMetalGodness]

Beautiful! :D A real masterpiece!

[lStrikeCs]

kzm larga vida strato forever!!!

[DjTsakalos]

Now it's time for you to move on

Leave the shadows of your past

Don't let them haunt you forever...

[gabuchinxxx]

Yo creo que la escucho unas 10 veces al dia..........

[glitchesable]

yo la escucho 20 veces al dia

[VanChuster]

Yo tambien XD

[magodeozthebestt]

quien es el dady yonki ese??

[RiceKruspey]

The song Passion and the Opera by Nightwish has a part in it that sounds exactly like the beginning of this song, I just realised that. I wonder if NW was influenced by the great Stratovarius?

[Miqelfin]

yes, stratovarius is one of those bands that inspired Tuomas, who writes almost all of NW's songs.

[VanChuster]

Una de las mejores canciones!!

[dorkfix111123]

f**king briliant!!!!!

[thclegalmauro]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh jaja

[acdcguy2]

i was just watchin a commercial for some shit compilation CD of "huge rock hits" called "the edge" with a bunch of shit emo crap bands with no musical talent...i needed to get that shit out of me and hear some real musicianship and feel for the music...so i found this masterpiece and i am relieved man

[hiiopy2]

All from Stratovarius is gold they going to be one of best metal bands of all times.

[glitchesable]

es la mejor cancion del mundo

[fbvrc]

the unplugged version is very good to

[jermwy]

masterpiece

[thclegalmauro]

xD =)

[LordPetee]

for me the best old stratovarius song with timo tolkki on vocals

[hiiopy2]

One word.. Masterpiece

Stratovarius the real music.

[eyesofmysoul]

rockkkkkkkkkkk you!

[nicco6malmsteen]

aguante strato !!

este tema es lo mas

timo por siempre el mejor

[espectaculardavidrcq]

Son los mejores!!!

[toonmarcos]

los que dicen que esta cancion es mala o buena estan equibocados esta cancion es arte pura!!! strato rocks

[stravaganzza9]

Daddy yankee y todos los reguemierderos me hacen un PT jodanse todos con su mundo vacio porque el verdadero talento esta en aquello que te conmueve el alma y no en lo que prefieren las masas

[midnightalastor]

Amen.

[zahaladino]

Me cago en daddy yankee! Viva Stratovarius!

[zahaladino]

tambien yo me cago en daddy yankee! Viva stratovarius!

[felipobmx]

que tiene que ver dady yankee cada uno tendra sus gustos musicales si hay gente que le gusta la musica mierda la clasica el rock el metal la tropical en fin es gusto de cada uno...

[eyesofmysoul]

que viva la libre expresión! LOL XD

[fantabulous008]

I thought this was a WEE GEE version on violin :P

[IamLegend921]

@fantabulous008 WTF? weegee? you mean that freaky version of luigi? o.O

[fantabulous008]

@IamLegend921 wut?? i dont see my original comment...

[IamLegend921]

@fantabulous008 page 4 you said something about weegee...

[fantabulous008]

@IamLegend921 okay got it now.... there is another artist with an almost identical song title... the difference is that the word 'children' is in the title... the name of the song is {Children} Hold on to your dreams... by Wm. "Wee Gee" .. so i thought this song was a version of that song... hence my post...

[IamLegend921]

@fantabulous008 well, "Passion and the Opera" by Nightwish was influenced by this song, in one part you can hear the intro melody

[perpetual61]

I have seen the Unplugged version with Kotipelto singing and it's awful he cant hit the hi notes. Tolkki sings it the way it's suppose to be!

[magnificusx]

the guitar riff in the intro, and throughout this song is touching ^_^

[onlyforwit]

I'm sure that Tolkki were listening to I Want Out when he wrote this... The lyrics are similar and there are SO MANY elements from I Want Out, that i can't even list.. It's Great =]

[JARQUIN117]

Arriba el power y el speed metal , saleve stratovarius!!!!!, en lo particular me agrada bastante esta canción y este albun en general, aunque mi favorito es destiny

[ilupir77]

When I purchased the Dreamspace cd this song touched a nerve in me, touched me emotionally in a way i guess, but now it doesn't feel so special anymore. i guess I've had too many tragedies in my life or then I'm just getting old. Hold on to your dreams, people...

[SAMX2007]

Love the guitar on this song, simple but really cool

[elgatodeScrodinger]

esta cancion es la polla, que pena que no entienda del todo la letra.

THE BEST!!!

[postpostmoderno]

Mi traducción tal vez sea un poco cruda, pero aquí la tienes en español. Desde que nacistes apartado en un rincón, y totalmente solo. Te decían que hacer, obedece todas las reglas, Sé como todos los demas, esos idiotas, Un día de escuela, El profesor es un abusador, Eres fastidiado por todos, No hay nada en la television, Tus padres están fuera, Estás atrapado, debes quedarte dentro, en casa.

[postpostmoderno]

La otra parte. Ahora debes seguir adelante, Deja las sombras de tu pasado, No permitas que te persigan por siempre. Aférrate a tus sueños, En algún lado hay un rayo de esperanza, Que guia tu camino a través de la oscuridad Esta es tu oportunidad Tu amor, tu romance, Aférrate a tus sueños y no de tes por vencido en la vida, aférrate a tus sueños! - Sorry if you dont get spanish, but im spreading the metal. Language should be no barrier.

[termiblaster]

amen, larga vida al metal y muerte a los putos regaetomierdas

[ohnenamen22]

right!!!

[huginm]

I like this song...

[NickDudeNick]

I love how the intro sounds exactly like the beginning of the first level of Megaman 7. Sick song!

[kundogb]

Power hippie metal!

[tmh1717]

thats my fav logo from them and one of my fav songs too CHEERS N BEERS

[cyclotane]

metal bands just dont compare to mainstream music.

is just amazing how the MAJORITY of the world thinks music is about rapping and dancing and u know being cool.

[pavlo666lost]

@cyclotane mainstream music just don't last.metal songs (whatever the kind) have the power to stay cool and never get boring.

[saxojascha]

@cyclotane i think its amazing and sad that the majority of the world thinks metal is just deep grumbling in a mic, and when they listen to real metal they say this is not a typical example for metal -.-

[LordPetee]

try it with &fmt=18 added on the link!

It sounds much better

[Lardreye]

This is the song to listen every time you are feeling down.

[AnormaLcara]

yeah you are right...

[SergioFodao]

I agree with u

[daav1977]

@Lardreye Right man....

[SurrenderOrDie65]

damn timo tolkki had a great voice amazing!

[xtremeceleron]

the best group STRATOVARUIS!!!! LONG LIFE TO THEM...!!!!

[marcovarius]

Teacher's a bully!

[xtremeceleron]

jajajajaaja yeah men teacher's are bully

[WhiteTiger950]

I disagree, I know some nice male teachers

[PrueStar]

great band :D

[lavalizard3]

Awesome song:-)

[GaiaKirace]

I was used to hear TK's voice in this song, but Tolkki also sang it well.

[arryanpath]

Really nice song. It fills you with energy to fulfill your dream. Excellent solo as well. Good work Tolkki.

[clayvision]

wow is there a stratovarius song that isnt a good song?

[GaiaKirace]

I really agree with you. I think we both will love Stratovarius songs FOREVER!!!

[localpendulum]

definately one of my top fav's as well. Played this on the juke at a concert and man was it boo'ed and complained about. people are just soo ignorant on what is "real" music, x-pecially when their not american. 4ever and always Strato!!

[Hambraeus]

Damn, they are good!

[WhiteTiger950]

Please no damning. Be good.

[Hambraeus]

Dude, my comment was 7 months old xD

[hetfieldavid]

One of my Favorite songs

[shadowlaico]

esta cancion esta muy la raxa :D!!! es terrible bakan!!

[brayanoa]

this song in my opinion, is the better of strato... althought black diamond, hunting high and low, coming home, learning to fly, 4000 rainy nights, destiny, freedom, paradise, father time......... are very nice..........up....up stratovarius.up....

[megadeth168]

Damn, I love this song.

[JonsMorim]

Grande stratovarius...

[Nightcrawlerlyon]

¡Excelente canción! Gracias a Dios que la pusiste ahí.
