Whatever people say, complaining of Journey being, as if, a corporate rock band, you can argue against their musical sophistication and tight quality of presentation, polish lacking in many, many other bands. It's a sophisticated view, for a thinking, adult person, and the music a perfect match. It's hard driving and unusual, in the "love gone south" vein of songs, that lyric, "Love's a viper, steals your soul" a deep expression of negative aspects of what a relationship not going right can do to a person, which the emptiness of the "What now? " sort of theme expresses. Really like Chain Reaction, also, and think it's too far down on the list. Few songs convey such vivid imagery and feeling as this song. It brings back memories about the first beautiful girl I was with when I was in my youth. This is my all time favorite journey song. This song is often covered by others artists, if that's not an accomplishment, I don't know what is. I agree this is a very underappreciated song. This song is very nearly the hallmark of Journey. Classic throaty guitar riff throughout with a soaring guitar solo outro. The vocal harmonies are also great, not only Steve Perry doing a memorable job with the vocals.Īwesome lead vocals by Perry, backed up by wonderful harmonies. I think it's one of the highlight songs of their career, the guitar incredibly good, I think Neal Schon's best guitar break solo. Yes, currently at 12, the song is underrated. Could this comment be deleted from "Girl Can't Help It"? It doesn't fit that song, is misleading and doesn't make much sense.) This comment below was attached to "Girl Can't Help It," but was meant for "Stone in Love." Must have clicked the wrong comment button. This song should be number one.īrilliant song from start to finish! It's sad that this song lives under the shadow of Don't Stop Believin' (which is a great song too), because this song doesn't get the credit it deserves. Don't Stop Believing is too overplayed to be, in my opinion, number one. Take all of the Journey songs, this one stands out from the rest. This is a universal song which reaches the human spirit. I can't but think of that special someone in my life when Separate Ways is played. There are great songs out there, but this song makes you STOP and LISTEN. If steve didn't sing I don't think I would listen to it because his voice truly made that band! I miss you steve! Journey is my all time favorite band and I listen to their cd's ever single day and never get sick of any of their music. Seriously, it has happened so many times. Wow I love this song! This is one of those songs I love turning way up and rolling down my windows and I will have young and old singing with me. The new singer sounds a lot like Steve Perry, but nothing is beating Steve's voice. I went to the Journey concert last week, this was the second, and by far the best song there. If I Could choose 1 Song by Journey to Go to War with I'd Choose Faithfully!ĭon't Stop Believin' Is there most Popular Song I get that but Faithfully is their Best Song I also love that guitar solo near the end.įaithfully in my mind Journey's Best Song Ever made! It's feeling slowly grows in intensity as the song grows in intensity as well. The song entails the troubles of marrying a band member. Don't get me wrong, the latter is a good song, but I find it overrated to this slow rock ballad. I honestly prefer Faithfully to Don't Stop Believing because of its meaning. Perry is the best singer in the world and the way he holds a tune for as long as he does and hits the notes at the perfect pitch is definitely god given! I wish he was still singing. It literally tears my heart out and I want to cry every time I hear it, but in a good way. This song is one of those songs that starts out slow and then has that amazing climax at the end, which not many songs have. This is definitely my favorite song on earth.
