One of the most iconic songs in Tarja’s solo career, “I Walk Alone” is reimagined in a stunning new live version recorded in Bucharest during her extraordinary Circus Life concert.
Originally released as the lead single from her 2007 debut solo album, My Winter Storm, the song remains a powerful declaration of independence, strength, and identity — and has become an unshakable pillar in her live repertoire.
“‘I Walk Alone’ was one of four tracks that I picked from the over 500 demos sent to me by the label for my first album My Winter Storm. I fell in love with it straight away and the chorus really grabbed me. There is a lot of positivity in the track. It is also where I got the idea of calling all my fans and supporters ‘My Winter Storm.’ They have always been there and still are, and despite the title, I do not feel that I walk alone, and I never am because you are always there,” says Tarja.

Recorded in January 2020, in Bucharest, Romania, the Circus Life show was one of a kind when Tarja performed in this very special “in the round” format. Two hours of powerful music featuring a setlist that spans Tarja’s career, including all of her greatest hits such as “I Walk Alone,” “Until My Last Breath,” and “Innocence,” as well as fan favorites like “Victim Of Ritual” and “Demons In You,” showcasing her evolution as an artist.
Featuring 16 accomplished musicians, including her brother Toni and a diverse ensemble from various stages of her career, it was an extraordinary event. All songs were provided with new arrangements just for this concert, making the show a unique experience for the long-time Tarja fan, as well as the first-time listener.
Circus Life was recorded in one take, 100% live – no re-recordings, no overdubs, no special effects. Just pure, raw music.
