Biografia Timo Kotipelto

Estudió canto en el conservatorio de pop y jazz en Helsinki. Cantó por un breve periodo en una banda de covers llamada Filthy Asses. En el verano de 1994, se unió a Stratovarius, que llevaba un tiempo buscando un cantante. El primer álbum que fue grabado junto a él fue "Fourth Dimension" (1995). Así fue como la mayoría considera que la entrada de Kotipelto a la banda terminó por catapultar a Stratovarius hacia la fama mundial.

A fines del 2003, Kotipelto fue expulsado de la banda por Timo Tolkki. Después de mucho tumulto a lo largo del 2004, volvió a la banda en Enero del 2005.

También ha creado un grupo en solitario llamado Kotipelto en el que colaboran amigos músicos.

En 2005 Tolkki readmite a Kotipelto y el resto de musicos expulsados de Stratovarius tras diagnosticársele una enfermedad mental (maniaco depresión), inmediatamente graban un disco con título homónimo.

Video, letra : Dreamtale - Farewell

Shadow lies bloodless on the hill
Frozen in the night of forgiven
Ceased to exist, in one life
As only the memory that remains

In the woods, where's eternity?
I sit in the valley of greed and daylight
Love to the stars and my Elven-dryad
My own savior, angel of night, my betrothed

For aeons I was with you, my friends
Amongst the mortals in their dreams
Burned out in the one star's end
Among enlightened thousands shining

[Chorus:]
Gazing from the sky, night in my eyes
As Elf I watch you, in my memories
So bright, doomed to die in starlight
Eternally I walk in the twilight

And bright are the stars that smile on me
And great is the joy I had with you
And remember me as the wolf that stares
With love, in the forest of dreams

With yellow eyes, all wise with color of Grey
So many times I was a stranger with you

Just a tiny little shadow that frightened
All days and nights, ran away in the rain

Where the trees are living and flowers are blue
I dream of the stars and my angel with me

Video, letra : Highland Glory - Spirit Of Salvation

Try to find my way, try to find my way
Try to find my way, try to find my way

Take me there, led me to the underworld
I can't bear to see your face again
Now I'm here to meet my destiny
Now I'm here, lost inside this atmosphere
And I can't see the truth within my soul
Is this a dream or just reality?

Oh yes we are the spirit of salvation
Over the sea and under the mountain
Trying to find the way
Help me, lead me, show me, guide me
Trying to find my way

Still I'm scared, will I fade into infinity?
Behind my mask, reality appears
Will you see my true identity?
[ Lyrics provided by www.mp3lyrics.org ]
I cry help the spirits are
gone, nothing can save me
Pray for me, my soul and my rebirth
Will there ever be a change for me?

If you help me just to see the light
Help me to make it right
I will be grateful to you
Oh I'm praying to get through the light
To make it through this night
I have to follow my path

I need to find my way back there

Video, Letra : Blind Guardian - Valhalla

High in the sky where eagles fly Morgray the dark enters the throne

Open wide the gate friend the king has come
Blow the horn and praise the highest lord
Who'll bring the dawn he's a new god in the palace of steel
Persuade the fate of everyone The chaos can begin let it in
[Lead:Andre]

[Bridge:(Kai Hansen)]
So many centuries, so many gods
We were the prisoners of our own fantasy
But now we are marching against these gods
I'm the wizard, I'll change it all

[Ref:]
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me [2x]
[Solo:Andre]

Magic is in me I'm the last magic man
Never found what I was looking for
Now I found it but it's lost

The fortress burns Broken my heart
I leave this world All gods are gone

[Bridge:(Kai Hansen)]
So many centuries, so many times
We were the prisoners of our own fantasy
But then we had nothing to lead our lives
No no we didn't play with our time

Video, Letra : Blind Guardian - Another Stranger Me

A seed of doubt
It exists
And it grows
A glimpse of life
From somewhere deep within
Awake and understand

Is there anyone else here?
Somebody´s screaming
Please help me
Let´s find out now
That I am not dreaming
Welcome to my damnation
Here it comes the real me

I didn´t know
I couldn´t hear the answer
My mind was blank
I should´ve known
I hold it back but somehow
There is someone else
Another stranger me
Another stranger me

That´s
When the ice
Will break away

I can´t get out of here
Anymore
Cause none of my keys
Fit the door

There´s fear and anger
Hate and love
I must confess
It´s out of hand

It´s physic
It´s cynic
Still cynic
All my laughter

It´s cynic
Just manic
It´s cynic
All her laughter

If there´s anyone in
It soon will be over
We´ll burn out
Our soul´s aflamed
And we´re on our own now
Give up you cruel invasion
You´re insane I´ll show you

I didn´t know
I couldn´t hear the answer
My mind was blank
I should´ve known
I hold it back but somehow
There is someone else
Another stranger me
Another stranger me

Out and gone
Can´t resist
Cold and sore
The bolt of pain
Keeps ripping through my head
I can take no more

Don´t tell anyone else but I
Do not believe her
She hates me
I cloud my mind
She´s a deceiver
I can feel cruel bivrations
Would you like to meet me

I didn´t know
I couldn´t hear the answer
My mind was blank
I should´ve known
I hold it back but somehow
There is someone else
Another stranger me
Another stranger me

Video, Letra : Kotipelto - Sleep Well

Yesterday is like a dream
Nothing's what it seems to be
Another hit, just another score
No emotions will I show
My Blood is frozen to the bone
Feeling so dead inside my soul
SO many things I'll never know
Stalking behind, you are the prey
Waiting to stumble down my way
Sleep well, my baby
Dream on, my darling baby
Sleep well, my baby
I'll be back one day
Lost in a world so cruel and dark
Caught in a haze far off the mark
Try to evade that road to hell
Loneliness, my only friend
Cast in my shadow till the end
A slip of the knife or a twist in the jest I know too well
Irony's hand, writing the play
Leading me down this maze
Sleep well, my baby
Dream on, my darling baby
One day maybe
I'll be back to stay
Tell me are you afraid
That I won't come back to you again
Asking if I'll stay
If I could, I would babe

Video, Letra: Kotipelto - Reasons

Can't you hear me awaitning
Listen to the sounds of your mind
And everything I've been saying
Don't you see or are you blind?

These are the reasons- Take a look around
Another season- all the things you've found
These are the reasons- lying on the ground

Hear me call your name
All the things I say

Can't you see me walking
I'm trying to find my way to you
And all the things I've been saying
Are from my heart tried and true

These are the reasoons- Take a look around
Another season- all the things you've found
These are the reasons- lying on the ground

Hear me call your name
All the things I say
