Stratovarius - 'Firefly' (official music video)
Burn the night
I am chasing a firefly
I've got the eye of the tiger
I have the will to fight
You are my trial by fire
You are the one tonight
(Calling my burning heart)
I tried so hard to resist you
I tried to keep away
(Torn apart)
You glow so bright in the darkness
Your light is here to stay
I wait for the sunrise
Yearn for your glow
Keep trying to chase wherever you go
My burning heart, torn apart
I'm stealing your power
You're stealing my heart
Burn the night
I am chasing a firefly
You shine so bright
I am chasing a firefly
You are my firefly
I'm in the dark
You are my guiding light
I follow your heartbeat
Burn the night
I am chasing a firefly
Burning heart
I feel you taking me higher
I'll follow anywhere
(Torn apart)
You are the one I desire
You are my cross to bear
I wait for the sunrise
Yearn for your glow
Keep trying to chase wherever you go
My burning heart, torn apart
I'm stealing your power
You're stealing my heart
Burn the night
I am chasing a firefly
You shine so bright
I am chasing a firefly
You are my firefly
I'm in the dark
You are my guiding light
I follow your heartbeat
Burn the night
I am chasing a firefly
Burn the night
I am chasing a firefly
You shine so bright
I am chasing a firefly
You are my firefly
I'm in the dark
You are my guiding light
I follow your heartbeat
Burn the night
I am chasing a firefly

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από μία επταετία για τους Stratovarius. Ο διάδοχος του δίσκου "Eternal" (2015) και 17ο συνολικά full length album του Φινλανδικού power metal συγκροτήματος τιτλοφορείται "Survive" και αναμένεται τον πρώτο φθινοπωρινό μήνα...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Seven years after the release of their last album “Eternal”, Stratovarius once more prove their status as Power Metal kings and come back with a big bang.
A blistering comeback from one of heavy metal’s most seminal bands, Survive is full of dynamics and drama, feeding on a wide range of emotions along the way. But the core message that this triumphant endeavour conveys is one of struggle, defiance, hope and victory. Best exemplified by its profoundly rousing title track, Survive is the Stratovarius spirit in exquisite musical form, with all the darkness and light that goes with it.»
Jens Johansson (about the song): «We spent five or six days solid, trying to come up with the lyrics for that song. When we finally settled on that punchline for the chorus, it was a good song about survival and it all just seemed to fit.
It fits with the history of the band too, because we managed to survive as long as we have. This band has been through some strange days! The original line-up formed in 1984, so it’s been a long story.
It was the middle of the summer, there were forest fires everywhere, there was a global pandemic and all kinds of crazy shit going on. Some of the lyrics are perhaps less uplifting than they could have been, but that reflects our mood at the time. There’s a lot of positive stuff on there as well!»
