It all started with Ayreon's frontman Arjen Anthony Lucassen being impressed by a recording he received from Marcela Bovio, the lead singer of Elfonía. She had joined a contest for guest artists on the new Ayreon album. She won this competition and can be heard on Ayreon's The Human Equation singing the part "Wife". Arjen wanted to create more music with Marcela after the Ayreon album was finished, so he created a new band.
Arjen also selected Lori Linstruth, Johan van Stratum, Davy Mickers, and Alejandro Millán, and started Stream of Passion. Their first release was Embrace the Storm. Because the members lived thousand of miles apart (The Netherlands, Sweden, and Mexico), the album was mostly written over the internet.
For the following tour Marcela brought her sister Diana Bovio as background singer. Diana also appeared on the single Out In The Real World and the live CD/DVD Live In The Real World.
On 4 March 2007, Arjen said in an interview on his website that he was going to quit the band: Because I will be fully concentrating on the new Ayreon for at least the next year, I have no more time for SoP, so I quit the band. It would be unfair to have them wait until I'm ready, especially now things are going so well for SoP. Arjen also stated that SoP would continue without him.
A few days later, a message on the Stream of Passion website said that Lori and Alejandro also had decided to leave the band and focus on their own personal lives and musical projects. The message on the website stated that this is not the end of the band, and the remaining members are already busy writing music for a new album.
From 2007 on, the band consisted of vocalist, lyricist, and violinist Marcela Bovio, bassist Johan van Stratum, keyboardist Jeffrey Revet, guitarist Eric Hazebroek, guitarist Stephan Schultz, and drummer Martijn Peters.
In April of 2016 the band announced via Facebook that they would be separating at the end of the year.

Nostalgia
Stream of Passion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Busca entre las olas una señal
Algo que le ayude a olvidar la verdad
Toda una vida de lágrimas
Cede a la locura y luego calla
Por amor a un dia que jamás volverá
Calmará sus ansias en letras vanas
Por amor a un día que jamás volverá
Por amor a un día que jamás volverá
The opening lines of Stream of Passion's song "Nostalgia" suggest a sense of longing and uncertainty as the singer seeks solace in the sea. The lyrics, "Con la vista sobre el mar, busca entre las olas una señal" translate to, "With a view of the sea, she searches among the waves for a signal." The singer is searching for something to help her forget the truth, perhaps a painful reality or past experience.
The following lines, "Toda una vida de lágrimas, cede a la locura y luego calla, por amor a un dia que jamás volverá," convey a sense of sadness and desperation. The singer has lived a life filled with tears, and as a result, she succumbs to madness and ultimately falls silent. She does this out of love for a day that will never return. This nostalgic longing is an important theme in the song and is repeated in the chorus, "Por amor a un día que jamás volverá" meaning "For the love of a day that will never return."
The reference to a dying rose in the lyrics, "Cuando la rosa muera, calmará sus ansias en letras vanas" which means "When the rose dies, she will calm her yearning with meaningless letters" suggests a sense of loss, decay and impermanence. It highlights the fleeting nature of life and the hopelessness that can accompany nostalgia.
Overall, "Nostalgia" is a poignant song that explores the complexities of emotions such as longing, loss and desperation that are often associated with nostalgia. The singer's search for a signal from the sea, her madness and silence in love for a day that will never return, and the reference to the dying rose, all contribute to the melancholic mood of the song.

Mi amiga de 16 años me mandó un fragmento de está canción cantada por ella, falleció el 25 de enero del 2021,ya casi un año que nos dejó,toda su vida batalló con personalidad border y bipolaridad y como dice la canción "cuando la rosa muera,calmara sus ansias en letras vanas,por amor a un día que jamás volverá",su nombre era Carolina,como la flor,no pasa día que no la recuerde ni que su perdida se sienta menos, donde sea que esté, sé que ya descansa.

Escuchar esta cancion me llena tanto de "nostalgia" la escuchaba en ares, en algun ciber de mi ciudad la conoci por esos años en metroflog... Era un sentimiento que conectaba tanto con lo que se sentia... La escucho y no me canso de revivir esas memorias de secundaria, actualmente ya tengo 30 años y me es grato saber que siguen activos, espero verlos algun dia.

Cada cierto tiempo, cuando la vida me golpea, suelo regresar a esta canción y a aquellos momentos cuando la descubrí y me sentí cobijado… largos años han pasado, y aún encuentro ese calor cuando la escucho, como si me transportara a otro momento de mi vida, donde una mejor versión de mi, da cobijo a mi desastre actual.
