There's a reason Journey was HUGE... they were IT... and why everybody loves them (even if they don't want to admit it). They were an incredible band!
I remember I had a bunch of friends who loved death and speed metal bands. But even they would throw back their heads and sing along to Journey when their songs would come on the radio. Only when around close friends of course. In public, among strangers, they were "too metal" to admit it. LOL
If you've reacted to Faithfully then you have have to react to Open Arms. Amber will absolutely love the song. It was nearly everyone's date song in the early 80's!
Most definitely!!
When I was young, I thought the words were "I come to you with broken arms..."
I thought it was a really deep commentary on how heartbreak makes it difficult to embrace a new relationship.🤔
Yeah, Amber would break down listening to “Open Arms”, hell, most people do. It’s that good.
Also Who's Crying Now... Is a crier...
Jay will love it too, because we all know he’s a ‘Piano Man’ at heart!! And the piano plays a very close 2nd place to Steve Perry’s vocals on this song, which are noting short of impeccable.
Fun fact: Prince's Purple Rain was inspired by this song, but he feared it might be too similar, so he asked Journey if they consented to its release. Turns out they did.
Steve Perry’s voice gives me chills! He’s absolutely brilliant! I have been a fan of Journey since 1981 and they stand the test of time!
Arnel Pineda of the Philippines became Journey's "new" lead singer in December 2007. He too has an amazing voice and is quite the showman on stage. I highly recommend you go see them in concert this year for the full Journey experience. They are one of the all time great bands to see live, even all these years later.
They are wearing out Arnels voice just as they tried with Perry. Steve left because he knew the band would never rest. He'd had enough of not having a real life and being worn down by touring. I see Arnels voice has changed since the beginning of him joining. He basically does whatever Neil Schone tells him to. Its Arnels nice guy nature.
If you ever want to really appreciate Steve Perry's voice, do the song "Mother, Father" live from Houston. Unbelievable.
Seriously. Your ears will thank me.
Watch deen doing it live and playing the drums
@@jimthomas5007 I have. Still no comparison.
Steve Smith, drummer
The lead singer is Steve Perry and this song is played in most of your movies from the 80s and 90s
Gives me chills everytime.
Journey is a top band. Ya'll looked sad it was over.
You got to listen to Send her my love live at the Noble Lloyd center.. I don't want you to miss this great live rendition of Steve it's out of this world really
This is one of my favorite songs. As a truck driver married to the same woman for almost 40yrs. This is exactly how I felt out in the road.
I married my high school sweetheart after I joined the army. She stayed with me though deployments and hardship tours. She stand behind me till the day she died. This was our song
Please react to John Lennons song Mother . I don't know if you know . John was brought up by his auntie . If you do react . Have a hankie ready . He words his abandonment so poignantly ❤😢😢😢😢😭
@@kevinpreston5590 I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. Thank you for your service. You must be very brave and very strong to have weathered all that life threw at you. Godspeed
It would be interesting to see a duet between Steve and Ann Wilson of Heart
I envy you, sir. You're a lucky man.
Please check out Journey’s SEPARATE WAYS. As the title suggests, it’s kind of the opposite of this one, but it’s still a love song - and it definitely shows more of Journey’s rock side.
Also Open Arms is great!
YES!!!
Their hardest rocking tune, in line with the rise of hard rock and metal happening at that time. I was disappointed they didn't do more such songs.
separate ways; great, great song. stupid video.
@@dougtittl78418 Perhaps you don't really get the song then?
You can never go wrong with Journey.
Agree 100 percent 👍
If you can't find at least one Journey song you like, you might not have a soul.
Never!
FACTS!!!!!!
Word.
Nailed it on the head brother
Can never go wrong with journey
I'm telling you growing up in the 80s that music will stand forever
Journey, was huge back in the day. Check out some early tunes like "Lights," "Any way you want it," Wheel In the Sky," as well as "Open Arms," "Don't Stop Believin,"
Lights! Best Journey song
@@jillmayer9501 Nowhere near their best song…but to each his/her own. They had a truck load of deep tracks that were better than Lights…
I love when the younger folks appreciate the classics. Steve Perry was a legend. His voice and emotion in this song is unmatched. Love him.
@*Let's talk 👉Rob squad reaction1 i love you both! Usually reaction videos are negative for the most part. Your positivity is a pleasant break frim normal social media. The songs you review take me back and remind me of lost classics. Please don't stop being YOU! The internet needs you!! Keep up the awesome work!!!
IS A LEGEND. NOT WAS!!!!!!!!
I'm 27 and this has been my all time favorite song since I was 14. Discovered it through Glee lol
He IS a legend!
“I get the joy of rediscovering you”
One of the greatest lyrics ever written.
You nailed that one. To write that, you had to feel those words.
Yessss, just melts me right into..
That line reopened my eyes to the great joy of reconnecting. Incredible line.
Absolutely!
And one of the most emotionally true...
28 years later I'm still discovering my best friend, my wife, my everything.
My respect to Her, for loving a damaged combat veteran...
She, is the real Hero.
Steve Perry had one of the most phenomenal voices ever in music history. So much love for that man.
Me too!🥰
There's a reason they call him, "The Voice." The greatest male vocalist all time in my opinion.
live the 80 young boys l
@jamesgarrett5503 I'm right there with you but man, Darryl Hall is really tight as well!
SO TRUE❤❤❤❤
If you heard “Don’t Stop Believing “ you would say, oh! This song! Every marching band in the world plays it, it’s been in a million movies and commercials. Give it a listen 😉👍
It was basically the theme song of the show "Glee."
Also played at every Detroit Red Wings home game.
“I get the joy of rediscovering you” is so romantic and really is a positive outlook on being apart all the time. He gets to fall in love with her each time they’re reunited. Just beautiful.
Yes. I have always thought that was an extremely "key" line that defines the character. Even though the song is "This sucks, sucks, sucks," he acknowledges that it gives value to the homecoming.
What sucks even more is the guy who wrote the song I think he was the drummer or guitarist but either way it is another member of the band you can see him holding his wife who he says I am yours forever yet they divorced a few years later
The line before “Two strangers learn to fall in love again” then “I get the joy of rediscovering you” are profound.
@@americanpatriot7508Johnathon Cain wrote the lyrics. He’s the pianist and it was written for his wife. I don’t now have much respect for the man but, as a classical acoustic pianist myself, I have tremendous respect for his work and he worked hard to be as good as he is. The drummer is Steve Smith and the fabulous guitarist is Neal Schoen, formerly with Carlos Santana.
@@renelpatat ok yeah I knew it was someone in the band who wrote it for his wife but divorced her shortly after
WE NEED MORE JOURNEY!!!! Steve Perry’s voice is absolute GOLDEN!!! The best pure male vocalist EVER!
I agree with you!
Journey, mother father, live in Houston 1981. His voice is unreal. I saw them in 83. Best concert I've been to
Behind Freddie Mercury, but he’s up there for sure!
Steve is in my top 5 of all time along with Freddie, Ronnie James Dio, Geoff Tate of Queensryche and Miljenko Matijevik of Steelheart. Notable shout outs to Brad Delp, Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford and Sammy Hagar,
@@MetalMcfly my top 5 frontmen based on both voice and stage presence is Freddie, Jim Morrison, Axel Rose, Steven Tyler, and then 5th is like a 5 way tie that includes Steve Perry
Steve Perry …. The voice! It doesn’t get much better then Steve Perry! Having seen them so many times love, his voice is still perfect even live ! Next time you do them pick a live!!
Escape tour 1981 Houston.
The voice that makes me moist!!!🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖
Jon Bon Jovi gave him that..."The Voice" nickname.
Randy Jackson Of American Idol fame also was a member of Journey in their early days. Having worked with Steve Perry, he said Steve had the best Rock Voice in the business.
@@alicesmith7020 I saw them early 80s as well. Unbelievable concert. Worcester MA as best as I can recall.
@@brendah.6366 😱😱😱
"Open Arms", "Don't Stop Believing" & "When You Love a Woman" are 3 of Journey's other best songs to react to.
I was thinking the same songs
Mother Father my favorite by Journey
I'd add Separate Ways
And I’ll be alright without you
I'd add "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'."
I can tell you as a former Navy wife, this song is not just for bands on the road. It can apply to military couples as well. The first time I heard this song and saw the video, my ex-husband had just been deployed to Antarctica for the next 6 to 7 months. I started bawling. This song speaks to so many and for so many.
It’s an unknown sacrifice for so many who don’t think about it. My sister’s husband was a nuke out of Bremerton. He would be gone for so long and so often that I’m sure it played a huge role in their divorce. Take care
My husband and I met in the service. We were both planning to make a career out if, but he was sent to Iraq and I was sent to a stateside post. He was gone for 18 months and when he came back we had two months together and I was deployed while he stayed stateside. We both made the decision to not reenlist as it was no life. This song resonates with me for all the reasons you stated. Still makes me stop and take a breath. The longing was so palpable you could feel it in your bones.
Thanks for sharing. This tune and the many military that are deployed ...wow, what a sacrifice they make.
Is this really your first Journey reaction since May?? Been a minute! You have so much further down this rabbit hole to go! You got to do "Lights", "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'", "Any Way You Want It", "Who's Crying Now", "Open Arms", "Separate Ways", and perhaps their most famous song "Don't Stop Believin'". Was there a voice in that era more recognizable than Steve Perry's? I don't think so! (OK, maybe Steven Tyler.) P.S. I don't think you've done another Phil Collins song other than "In the Air Tonight" (twice). Might I suggest "Sussudio" or "I Wish It Would Rain Down" or possibly "Against All Odds"?
Stone in Love .. is another great one
“Who’s Crying Now” is fantastic. And much agreement for more Phil Collins, especially “Against All Odds”.
"Land of Confusion" by Phil Collins. What an awesome song.
@@Sportsref13 Not one of their bigger ones, but I totally agree!
One of the best vocalists ever, period.
Oh without question..
The best. Not one of the best.
Hey guys ! Steve Perry is the lead singer for Journey, and Steve Smith is the drummer !! Just incredible musicians in this band -- great all around !! I would recommend listening to Where Were You, which has some great drum work in it, and Lovin Touching Squeezing for a great feel-good song. Love your videos !!
...and don't forget Neal Schon - one of the greatest guitarist of rock n' roll.
@@isaackovitz4791 I know !! The only reason that I didnt mention him was they were asking about the singer and the drummer. But I love them all ! I saw them years ago, and Bryan Adams opened up for them !! They played for 3 hours -- it was awesome !!
"I get the joy of re-discovering you."
This song is romantic as hell.
Listen to Just the Same way, Mother father, Still they Ride,Feeling that Way,Anytime
Journey (with Steve Perry) is such a wonderful group. You really need to listen to: Who's Crying Now, Separate Ways (World's Apart), Don't Stop Believing, Still they Ride, Open Arms, Send Her My Love, Stone in Love and Anyway You Want it. Steve Perry's voice is one of a kind and very distinctive. His range is incredible and you will love each of the songs listed above.
Yeah, Separate Ways!
Still they ride and stone in love are kick ass songs
April 30, 1988, this song was played at my wedding to Charlette. I have tears flowing now. August 23, 2016 Charlette died. This is one of those songs that always reminds me of Char. For many years my best friend and LOVE.
🙏🏼
This brought tears to my eyes! I'm so sorry for your loss! ❤💔🕯🙏
@@Kim-dm4yb Thanks
Steve has a Beautiful Voice!! There concert was Fantastic and they are still one of my all time favorites!! He sounds just as good live by the way!! So many great songs!! Please do Open Arm’s!
"Two strangers learn to fall in love again. I get the joy of rediscovering you" gets me every time. You guys don't know how much joy you give to my generation who grew up with this music era when we see you enjoying it and appreciating it as you do. I love to see young people appreciating this music. Take my advice: slow dance to this song with someone you love. You won't regret it, I promise. It's made so many great memories for me and I hope it does the same for you. ❤
One of the greatest songs ever written and performed by THE VOICE!!! I think this song applies to the road of life itself. It makes you really appreciate what you have and cherish your loved ones even more so for time is short and it does go by quickly. Merry Christmas everyone🙏🙏🙏

You are so right , must slow dance with your love to this heartmaker , it will move you to another level !!
you make me cry, cause back then I did, danced with someone special , it was back when parties were different and music was music, he was the most amazing voice back then
Every time he sings that part of the song, I get tears. Beautiful song!
I cry at this one every time, as well. That line, “Two strangers learn to fall in love again; I get the joy of rediscovering you…” I lose it, and start balling!! Steve Perry’s voice is absolute perfection! ❤️❤️
Great reaction! Thank you guys!!
Same here, that is my favorite line in the song. I also cry hearing this song. The lyrics are so beautiful and heartfelt.
I'm with you, the line, " I get the joy of rediscovering you". Is my favorite line. That feeling of basically falling back in love with someone, remembering why u fell in love.
Absolutely agree
Journey is a great American rock band formed in 1973 by former members of Santana, Steve Miller Band & Frumious Bandersnatch. Journey had their biggest commercial success between 78-87, when Steve Perry was lead vocalist. They had so many hits including "Don't Stop Believin'", "Open Arms", "Who's Crying Now", "Still They Ride", "Wheel in the Sky", "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)", "Faithfully", "Send Her My Love" & "After the Fall".
Truly, my favorite version of the band was before Perry joined in 1977 or so. I saw them live at Foothill College in 1975. They were an awesome progressive rock band with 3 great albums with hits like LOOK INTO THE FUTURE, ON A SATURDAY NIGHT and much more (LOVE the instrumental TOPAZ). They had so much more potential in this direction. But then their producer made them take on Perry, and they became a commercial pop success as the producers hoped. But now they play sweet songs instead of bad-ass rock songs, so even though I like the new hits I consider them second class to the original band.
THIS is the sht... th-cam.com/video/CmvP1hdYKNs/w-d-xo.html
And I consider this their greatest work ever: th-cam.com/video/5i38vu0HMvM/w-d-xo.html
Hell, the show Glee's whole success was built on Journey songs.
@@Head-ck4hu did you like Fleetwood Mac more before Stevie nicks and Lindsay Buckingham joined?
All those and "Stone In Love".
@@bogdog999 I for one am so glad the producer made them take the VOICE Steve Perry one of the greatest of all time!
This song is one of the greatest love songs of all time. You wouldn't think they could ever come close to this song but, they sure did with When You Love a Woman. Just as great as this song.
send her my love is another.
Hmm, I look at it like this... Faithfully talks about the struggles of maintaining a relationship despite the demands of being a musician. When You Love a Woman is more an observational approach to what makes love. Send Her My Love is about the regret of losing love. All truly excellent songs, but for my money, I'll go with Stay Awhile as journey's best love song, and one of the best all-time - an absolutely gorgeous song that from start to finish that expresses love in a beautiful way. From the desperate desire to just be with that special woman, to the expression of trying to impress and win her. Then the powerful, climactic crescendo at the end, the strings come in, and the rich harmony's culminate perfectly...
Steve Smith is the drummer. One of my favorite drummers of all time. Jazz trained and still incredible until this day.
Strve Smith is a virtuoso..one of tge greatest drummer of all time.
There was a somewhat recent video on TH-cam where he does a walk through and breakdown of Separate Ways. He's got a very technical mindset.
As a coach, he HAS TO know Don’t Stop Believin as much as it’s played before, after, and during sooooooo many sporting events!
My late husband was a truck driver. He would be gone for 30 days to 3 months at a time. I was left to raise our 3 sons alone while he was away. He would tell me that he dedicated this song to me...often. He was away because of his family's needs...but we had to make that sacrifice of life without him. This song really brought out the feels for me too. Thank you for this reaction video. Y'all are amazing.
As a trucker wife with two young kids (one of them with very special needs), I salute you and stand in solidarity. It's a tough job. 🤍
That’s a sacrifice that few think about. You are an exceptionally strong person. I was a stay at home dad and that daily loneliness was challenging in an era when that was rarely done. But my wife came home each night. I appreciate what you have overcome 🌜💨
Thanks for sharing- Your husband is still listening
This lineup is:
Steve Perry - "The Voice"
Neil Schon - guitar
Ross Vallory - bass
Jonathan Cain - keyboards
Steve Smith - drums
Another song of theirs that is beautiful is When You Love A Woman. The perfect song to play at a wedding. Their original keyboard player was Gregg Rolie, who was also their singer on the first 3 albums. Rolie and Schon were in Santana before forming Journey.
Greatest vocalist of ALL-TIME right here. Steve Perry is the man.
Steve Perry is the second singer of Journey, but he's the one you put Journey on the map and they became one of the best Rock n' Roll bands of all time. I love Steve's voice so much! 😍
I agree Journey has had a few lead singers but Perry’s voice is what brought them to their highest peak for hits. The singers after him all seemed to have the same raspy voice but Steve Perry is one of a kind. I stopped listening to anything they made after he left the band because honestly it was his vocals I wanted to hear. He made plenty of music I listen to all the time.
@@persiascott2490 Journey's first hits were duos with founding member Greg Rollie and Steve Perry. The three initial albums released by the band were very different in style. As much as his voice, Perry's song writing with Neil Schon changed Journey's popularity. Also, if you listen to Steve's first two albums with the band, there is no rasp in his voice. But back then, you toured to sell records, and their management toured the crap out of his voice. By the end of their last tour, he was fried. He was amazing.
Steve Perry was probably one of the best lead frontman. He voice was amazing and just so unique. There are people who have tried to be the next Steve Perry but there will never be another like him. He voice was so smooth and mesmerizing. Lovin, Touchin and Squeezin is a fun one. Open Arms is just as beautiful as Faithfully. Anyway You want it is another great one.
Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin..
Mmmmmmmmmm
There was a point in the 80s where Journey was the biggest band in the world. They have a slew of mega hits.
you didnt get laid unless you had some Journey in the car.
Many of today's songs are about shaking ass, WAP, body counts....this song smashes them all with faith, love and family. This song is pure.
Wish I could like this 1000 times. Soooooo true.
Amen to that. We need more true talent, love and less vain things.
Emotional disinfectant.
Faith love and family ❤
The world needs more WAP
Journey was never, ever the same after Steve Perry left. That man's voice is beautiful. Open Arms, Who's Crying Now and Separate Ways are likely to deliver a couple of OMG moments.
And Send Her My Love. OMG... the feels!
His departure was so bad, they literally became their own cover band
Agree...I LOVE SEPERATE WAYS!!
@@XlissueslXgaming So true about them being their own cover band
Totally agree
"Faithfully" is my second favorite Journey song. "Open Arms" is top for me and if you like "Faithfully" you'll love "Open Arms". Steve Perry was always top notch vocally, an amazing voice.
See Mine is Faithfully Dont stop believing and thrn open arms
Steve Perry has a powerful and distinct voice. Check out his solo song "Oh Sherrie"... his vocals will knock your socks off!!!
Foolish Heart is even better!
@Steve perry I bet you say that to all the ladies!!
@Steve perry Brett??
They had so many hits. Great group. But this…is…the Journey song. Lead singer Steve Perry is consistently listed as one of the greatest voices in rock history. And they aren’t wrong.
I'll be honest, as a dude, this song still chokes me up to this very day, so much passion and raw talent, YEP, great time to be alive back then. Todays music just seems to have a lot of negitivity and society seems to have only gotten violent and hate filled, which is a crying shame. Music really does impact a persons soul, ya know what I mean? I wish the world could go back to the good ole days, kids nowadays have no idea sadly!
If you do “Don’t Stop Believin” please do the live performance from Houston. It is as close to seeing them in concert as you can get, and you will see the brilliance of Steve Perry’s vocals.
This was the song my wife and i had our first dance too. I was a traveling musician. We are still together after 30 years and play this song every anniversary. Thumbs up guys!
Our wedding song too, and my husband wore tails too! Love Steve Perry he has a phenomenal voice.
Hey J and Amber. You absolutely must react to "Mother, Father" by Journey. Live in Houston 1981!! His vocals will blow you away...especially being live!
100%
My absolute favorite by them.
Absolutely agree. Pure talent. No auto tune required. Steve Perry is the GOAT.
Yes‼️💯
Yes, it is amazing.
Steve Perry's voice is unbelievable. Still blows my mind even after hearing him for years.
Steve smith is the drummer . He has a jazz background!
Journey got labeled “corporate rock “ because they were among the first band to have corporations sponsor tours…and they were among the best at power ballads. Got some backlash from purists, but people loved them..they don’t call Steve Perry “the voice “ for nothing. Foolish Heart is a great song from his solo album
Keyboardist Jonathan Cain started writing this on a napkin, inspired while riding their diesel travel bus. Of course it was for his wife, but, he wrote it for all of them and it ends up being for every musician and everyone who travels for work and misses their loved ones. ❤️
Every once in a while a legendary song really is written in 20 minutes.
Amazing..simply put
Well, 20 minutes plus a lifetime of working at it.
Steve Perry is a national treasure. I'm 32 and a metal head since I was 10. But my mother raised me on Journey, Boston, Bee Gees, etc.
I know a good voice.
im right there with you.. a metal head my whole life... but there is no denying beauty where ever you may find it....
His voice is phenomenal
Boston is amazing too! I only discovered them in my late 20s and I can't stop listening to those groups.
Your mom raised you right. God bless
Yup he's one of my favorite male singers.
LOVE Journey.....some other great songs are "Who's Crying Now", "Girl Can't Help It", "Send Her My Love" or "Only The Young".
‘Open Arms’ and ‘Send her my love’ are masterpieces.
At 51 years old, I've heard a lot of music. A LOT. This song is on my list of songs that never fails to make me emotional. Steve Perry's voice, the heartfelt story, the clips of what touring with s band is like. Incredible.
Hopefully you and Amber will add Dimash Kudaibergen to your list. Best singer I've ever heard, I guarantee this is a rabbit hole you'll want to explore.
Definitely
I’m 51 and from Seattle. Journey was my first Concert at 12. I just discovered Dimash recently. I agree, you MUST react to Dimash. He can sing 7 octaves and sings in 12 languages. I love your reactions Rob Squad. Steve Perry from Journey was my first love, but Dimash is a whole other level. I love both for different reasons.
I’m grateful to have witnessed this great era of music back then. It was a better time for the whole world.
For sure
Can’t like your comment enough
Completely agree. Steve Perry....such a great artist
Me too
The music then was all real
I hear you. The world is not a very pretty or nice place right now. The Russian Ukrainian war, the animosity between our elected officials in this country and all the social unrest makes me yearn for the way times were back then.
Steve perry's vocal performance on this song is on another level, only a couple other vocalists ever reached this level of performance. The whole song is a masterpiece but specifically, starting at 6:25, he goes to another gear and then he hits yet another gear at 8:40 just when you didn't think he could belt it any more powerfully
Open Arms, Who's Cryin' Now, and Send Her My Love are also songs by Journey. All 3 are tearjerkers. Another one is Foreigner's Waiting For A Girl Like You.
Steve Perry has one of the best voices in music for sure. His range and control are underrated in my opinion. Love Journey. I hope you guys react to more.
we need more Journey!!! Steve Perry's voice is absolutely Golden!! The best pure make vocalist Ever
I want to make my own songs now hope you will back me up lol 😂😂😂
This song has given me goosebumps for 40 years. Steve Perry's voice is...I can't even find the words. It defies description. "I get the joy of rediscovering you" is one of the best lines from any song ever. Journey absolutely defines the power ballad. NO ONE does them better. SO glad you guys finally reacted to this!
What you said immediately brings 'Oh Sherry' to mind which, is about one of his ex's if I'm not mistaken.
Me, too.
Goosebumps. Heart palpation. Grins. And, even, dewey eyes.
(But that's cause I'm a girl. ☺️)
Agreed. Best singer and that line is epic. So moving.
Steve Perry's voice is what they had in mind when they coined the term "soaring vocals"
This is one of those songs that you NEVER change the station when it comes on, and you WILL sit in the car in the driveway until it's finished, drumming on the steering wheel.
Actually when you do Journey again I hope you'll consider doing "Separate Ways". It's a complete emotional contrast from this song, The musical story of someone desperately holding on to a love they've already lost. Fast paced with great riffs on drums, guitar and keyboards and I remember you guys saying you were looking for some songs with keyboards. Fantastic vocals both in the harmony and in Steve Perry's lead. Hits with a strong emotional impact yet completely different from this song. But if you do react to Separate Ways please DO NOT react to the official music video, it's had bits of the song chopped out for time constraints. React to the studio track or a lyrics track instead please.
Tobias, Plus Steve looks terrible in the MTV video. Lol...I like him with long hair that is the same length. Lol...I LOVE SEPERATE WAYS but the only problem with listening to it is that my ex-husband told me when we broke up for good(after he shot himself with a 30 30, lived and saw it wasn't going to make me come back) that I must listen to the words and always remember them. That's the only dumb thing that messes up the memory of the song for me. It use to be just a cool song b4 that. Smh...
This is a personal favorite
"Open Arm's" is another power ballad by Journey
Seen them in concert they are fantastic & Steve Perry's voice is AMAZING his range is PHENOM!! I LOVE them so much!!
Me too! 1986 Kemper Arena KC, MO. Huey Lewis and the News opened. Amazing first concert. Burnt my fingers holding the lighter for this one!
we need more Journey!!! Steve Perry's voice is absolutely Golden!! The best pure make vocalist Ever
I will be singing my own song hope you will back me up lol 😂😂😂😂😂
Imo, the songs Mother Father and Still They Ride are some the best examples of Steve Perry's voice and skill.
Also, Stone in Love and Anyway you Want It are my personal favorite two Journey songs.
I love Stone in love. Walks like a lady is another favorite of mine.
Mother, Father is a great song! Also Still They Ride and Any Way You Want It. Great suggestions!
When this song came out in 1983, my girlfriend and I chose this as our song. After 34 years, three kids, two grandkids, it's still our song. My ringtone for her is this song.
This is a beautiful song.
Oh this is so beautiful, to many more happy years together!
@@c.c.6930thank you!😊
Journey "Only the young" (original studio version) is my FAVORITE song by them EVER! goosebumps. ❤️
Great ballad. You are in my era. So many good bands and songs during this time period. Steve Perry’s voice is unprecedented but don’t sleep on Neal Schon . Absolutely passionate and talented guitarist.
...If I had to pick a greatest band of my youth it would be Journey...Jonathan Cain was also an essential element, not to mention Greg Rollie on earlier albums...none of the members should be sold short, they were a great band...they still sound great with Arnel Pineda, but will never recapture the magic of the 80s Journey
This guy's voice cuts into your soul because he sings with so much heart and emotion.
After Steve Perry left Journey, he had like 4 solo hits. Foolish Heart is one of my favorite songs and his voice is just amazing this song
“Highway run, into the midnight sun” such an iconic intro. Also the lines “ two strangers meant to fall in love again” and “I get the joy of rediscovering you”. Such good lyrics
Two strangers LEARN to fall in love again..
Such poetry!
In the United States Of America The land of the Midnight Sun is Alaska 😁
The Voice. There aren't many better male vocalists than Steve Perry. Journey was huge in the 80s.
Listen to the guitar playing of Neal Schon. He's also telling the story through the guitar.
I grew up listening to Journey. I truly love every single song of theirs. I'd highly recommend 'Send Her My Love', 'Separate Ways', and 'Be Good To Yourself'. But honestly, you really can't go wrong with any Journey!!
Little known fact... After first hearing this song, Prince liked the tune so much that he was inspired to write his own version of it - Purple Rain. * If you listen to both songs back to back and close your eyes while listening you'll be blown away at the similarities the songs have with one another, especially towards the end!
Another fact Bryan Adams' song Heaven is heavily influenced by this song and Steve Smith Journey's drummer was featured on the song.
Yes Prince called Steve Perry to ask permission to use that & he said yes to Prince
I absolutely love this song and have since it debuted.
Other songs by *Journey* that I suggest -
"Send Her My Love"
"Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'"
"Girl Can't Help it"
"Open Arms"
"Who's Crying, Now?"
"Any Way You Want It"
"Lights"
Lead singer, *Steve Perry* solo -
"Foolish Heart"
"Oh, Sherri"
Girl Can't Help It live from Raised On Radio!!
From his solo hits my favorites are "She's Mine" and "You Better Wait". I adore them.
Love watching your reactions. I'm 58 and saw Journey several times in the 80's when I was in highschool and just out of highschool. Check out Journy live. 1981 Don't stop Believin and Who's Crying Now. Steve Perry was possibly better live than in the studio. One of the greatest vocalists in any genre of music.
Only one to come close to replace Steve was "Arnel Pineda" it's on here. HE was incredible,talk about miracles. Wow.
Mother, Father is one of their best ballads along with this song right here being a huge favorite! Great Reaction!! GO down this rabbit hole! You will not be disappointed!!
Agreed. I've been pushing for "Mother, Father" Live in Houston for months.
That’s the one I was getting ready to suggest
The greatest thing about Journey and Steve Perry is their records sound just like their live show. Nothing electronically to change Steve Perry's voice. It is so raw and amazing. My favorite band of all time. I got to see them in Memphis in the mid 1980's. Journey and Steve Perry are the GOAT of bands
I grew up in the 80’s & Journey was huge. Steve Perry is called THE VOICE for a reason. One of the greatest rock ballads of all time.Your reactions are great.
One of my favorites by them is Send Her My Love. Didn't get as much pub as some of their other tunes but really hit home with me in my life.
Steve Perry what a great vocalist.
Journey still rocks the airways.
"When you love a woman,"
One of the greatest vocalists of all time, and one of the most successful rock bands ever. It was a privilege to grow up listening to them. Their music will endure the ages !
I have 6 Journey songs for you:
"Whose Crying Now"
"Any Way You Want It"
"Lovin' Touchin' Squeezing" "
"Lights" ,"Don't Stop Believing" and "Separate Ways"
ALL these songs are Fantastic!
Just pull up a album of theirs I like songs on all of them!
City of Angels too!
Add Open Arms to the list…
When you love a woman!
Send Her My Love, Stone in Love, Only the Young
"Two strangers learn to fall in love again. I get the joy of rediscovering you".........Some of the most powerful lyrics of any song!! Think about it!
The #1 band for me in the early 80's . The whole Escape album is awesome - "Don't Stop Believing" "Who's Crying Now" "Stone in Love" and the Title track are bangers. Also "Lights" is a must. Fabulous musicians and of course the incomparable Steve Perry - one of the greatest rock tenors. More Journey!
Agreed. I saw them on this tour with Loverboy opening. I was blazed out of my gourd but Journey was so good, I can remember it all…to this day.
Journey… my favorite band. Steve Perry… my favorite singer. The entire band was amazingly talented!!!! No other can compare.
Steve Perry is "The Voice"
"Steve Perry has the range of a high tenor and solid alto and is considered a countertenor. He is a rare tenor altino, a rare form of countertenor, a voice that many consider incomparable. His voice is very recognizable and longtime friend of Perry's, Jon Bon Jovi, gave him the nickname, "
This was written by the pianist Jonathan Cain in an attempt to show his wife how much he loved her even while he was away, which caused problems in their marriage. Unfortunately, it ended not much later.
And now he’s married to an evangelist.
And his current wife is a total nut job.
“I get the joy of rediscovering you” is so freaking sweet.
One of the underrated lines of this song is "I get the joy of re-discovering you", which references to coming together after being apart so long. What a great silver-lining outlook.
My favorite line in the song as well with two strangers learn to fall in love again.... just brilliant writing.
You can't ever go wrong with journey whether it's vintage or their newest stuff! I'm on the Steve Perry bandwagon but their other lead singers past and present have all been good also.
"I'll get the joy of rediscovering you" is such a beautiful lyric.
That and "two strangers learn to love again"
Imagine being a woman and your man writes this beautiful song about you and your relationship… just chills ❤
In this particular song....it's the pause...between "forever yours".... and...
.... "faithfully"...... that makes it SO beautiful, romantic and timeless....
"Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" is probably the song that opened my eyes to Journey, but they have so many GREAT songs. Please get into more soon!
I just love watching you two react to new (to you) songs and artists. ❤❤❤
When you dive into Journey, I think you'll agree that Steve Perry has one of the greatest rock voices of all time. Pure love - even for their super cheesy stuff. His voice redeems everything. My picks for next songs are Lights, Don't Stop Believing, and Open Arms.
Steve "The Voice" Perry. Arguably the best rock tenor in music history. His range is effortless and flawless.
"Stoned in love" is a great Journey song to react too.
Great song... totally overlooked my many
