Forever


"Forever" by Stratovarius is a power metal song written and performed by the Finnish band Stratovarius. It was originally recorded in B major, which is the song's original key. The track was released as a single in 1996 and later included on the band's album "Episode." Written by Timo Tolkki, the song features soaring vocals from lead singer Timo Kotipelto, along with fast-paced guitar riffs, melodic keyboards, and a driving rhythm section. With its memorable melody and uplifting lyrics, "Forever" has become one of Stratovarius' most beloved and iconic songs. Fun trivia fact: the music video for "Forever" was directed by Finnish director Antti Jokinen, who later went on to work with renowned artists such as Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez.
