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.

Wherever You Are
Stream of Passion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your eyes, ever changing
Shred my beliefs
Elusive as air, your million faces
Share a smile, shed a tear
Then you're hiding again
Wherever you are, I'll find you
And leave my life behind
I'm leaving now
Every moment of faith
Flows unattended
Pressing thoughts so misleading
Into my head
Come out of the dark
Don't keep me waiting
For the pain is too deep...
Hear me! Come out! Free me!
The lyrics of Stream of Passion's song "Wherever You Are" talk about a mysterious person that the singer is chasing after. The song begins with the artist admitting that the game is not over yet, and they still have hopes to achieve something. The singer then describes the person's eyes as ever-changing and that their million faces are impossible to grasp. Sometimes they share emotions such as crying or smiling, and then suddenly they disappear. Regardless of that, the singer claims that they are not giving up and promises to find the person wherever they are.
As the song progresses, the tone changes, and the singer becomes a little more desperate. They describe it as every moment of faith being unattended and pressing thoughts that are misleading them. The person's absence is causing the singer pain, and they plead with the person to come out into the light and not keep them waiting. The song is a powerful message of chasing after what you want despite how elusive it might seem.
