I'll guide you through the dark: Stream of Passion release Darker Days

Spare a thought for me my love
While you stare at the distance
For the spark that was born in your eyes
Lit my senses

Dream of me my dear
Press my song on your temples
Let my voice draw away all your fears
And embrace you

As the night extends over the daylight
Please remember
That for a glimpse of your smile I would give
My everything
Smiles and secrets, hopes and fears
Tears and wishes, words and dreams

Spare a thought for me my love
When you wake from your slumber
To the spark that was born in your eyes
I surrender

Imagine a band whose songs make reference to Vincent Van Gogh’s painting The Starry Night (Closer), and novels such as The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (The Mirror) and  The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne (The Scarlet Mark), as well as address the tide of change in the Arab world (The World in Ours) and the current situation in Mexico (Reborn); a band whose sound fuses elements from progressive rock, symphonic metal, classical and Latin American music, and is led by a unique female vocalist and violinist. 

Spellbinding, isn’t it? This is the case of Stream of Passion, a band which effectively defies categorization. Their recently released third album, Darker Days, is their best; and the same applies to the performance of their frontwoman, the multilingual vocalist Marcela Bovio. Marcela was previously in the progressive rock band Elfonia, and has also made notable guest appearances, such as in The Gathering's The West Pole album.

Trazos de hielo y niebla que se esconden
En las pequenas grietas de mi nombre
Luz que ilumina el alba, no me ignores
Entre suspiros llamas mas no se a donde

El invierno me encuentra delirando
Entre flores cubiertas de desencanto, miedo y llanto
Mientras el frio corre por mis manos
Mi corazon implora: "hasta cuando?"

Sing to me one more time
Turn loose the waking light
Unleash the sounds that define me
And keep me alive
And if I fall into despair
Tear down the walls and call my name
To remind me who I am.

Noches que se dilatan lentamente
Derrumbando promesas e ilusiones
Mientras la luna quema el horizonte
La voz de la memoria enmudece

Sing to me one more time
Turn loose the waking light
Unleash the sounds that define me
And keep me alive
And if I fall into despair
Tear down the walls and call my name
To let me know
That our cause
Is never lost,
Our song will forever be heard

Tear off these chains
Tell me my name
