Stratovarius založili v roce 1984 bubeník a zpěvák Tuomo Lassila, baskytarista John Vihervä a kytarista Staffan Strahlman. Hudba Stratovarius byla v té době trochu jiná, než co hrají Stratovarius teď. Byli velmi ovlivnění Black Sabbath a Ozzy...

Píseň: I'm Still Alive

Interpret:
Stratovarius
Album:
Elements
Look around, turn around 
You just might fall to the ground 
Sail away break away 
Damage done nothing to say 
All my life I've felt like an outcast 
But not anymore a thing of the past 
Feel the sun got to run 
Feels like life has just begun 
All is new, different view 
So many things, that i will do 
I'm leaving behind the things i don't need 
And with confidence I'm planting the seed 


I'm still alive 
I'm ready to feel the wind in my hair 
I know there are so many things to share 
I will write my story again 
Masterplan of a new kind 
I was lost but now I'm found 
I'm still alive
