[@cndngranma8436]

" Two strangers learn to fall in love again. I get the joy of rediscovering you ". Beautiful!!

[@kimberlygrimm7007]

The best voice in Rock history Steve (the Voice" Perry! (My opinion) Journey can replace him BUT NEVER DUPLICATE The magic his voice achieved!

[@andreascala2663]

in my opinion he is one of the best male singers ever along with few others........but speaking about ballads Steve is my best ever

[@georgegirard5783]

Steve Perry is the king of voice no other human can do what Steve Perry does by hitting a G5 octave without screaming

[@brandothecatmeow]

This is my favorite Journey song of all time. Steve's voice is unmatched especially in this song.

[@laneygrigas4557]

This was a beautiful love letter to all there wives and girlfriends

[@idalucero1260]

Love how Steve Smith comes in with those amazing toms on drums, Neal always amazing on guitar, Ross and Jonathan fabulous on bass and piano/key boards. And The Voice- Steve Perry there are no words that can do justice to this gorgeous man who God has graced us with his unforgettable, angelic voice.

[@tammyf.7864]

This song is about how hard it is to maintain a relationship - romantic and/or with family - when a musician is always on the road. The time on the road is actually what made lead singer Steve Perry quit the group. He said that during their heyday, they would be on the road for 10 months, then off for 2 months - with much of that time spent writing and rehearsing new songs to go out and do it all over again. Also during this time, Steve's girlfriend of 5 years broke up with him because of him being on the road so much, and Steve's mother was fighting a fatal illness. Not being able to be there for her his mom - and the demands of constant touring - is what caused him to leave the group. Steve took time off to be with his mom at the end and before she died, she told him to go back to the group. She died, and he went back after a few years. But the band had a falling out after he had serious health issues and the group members tried to rush him to get surgery before he was ready to do so. (It was kind of one of those: 'We're looking for someone to replace you." And: 'You don't have to fire me. I quit!' kind of situations.)

[@michellebarry1555]

Steve Perry never married (he said he never wanted to go through what his parents went through) but he did fall in love with a woman who was dying with cancer, she passed away and he grieved for years. He finally started writing music again and singing. I hope to see him live again. He will always be an icon to me. I see him occasionally (before COVID)...at S.F. giants games. He would sometimes sing during the 7th inning stretch. He’d sit in the stands like everybody else.

[@cricketpitts3744]

This song was written by jothain Cain the guy that plays keys. It's about his first marriage. He wrote it and steve sang the hell out of it and history was made!!!

[@franduncan1081]

Steve always put heart and soul behind his voice, his replacements don't .

[@saltypepper6526]

Sometimes his vocals in certain songs makes you cry

[@andreascala2663]

it is the sound of his voice. unique

[@cliftonparago4547]

It's about avoiding the temptations a band has while on the road

[@bikerbud3903]

"Mother Father" Live in Houston 1981. You'll enjoy

[@richj5953]

JOURNEY "WHO'S CRYING NOW " Live in Houston... AMAZING!

[@rocco63--01]

Steve Perry is the Man...the Voice! Generally, most if not all Journey songs from his time with the band are awesome!

[@elizabethrodriguez1095]

This has always been my favorite Journey song! I love the lyrics and Steve Perry's voice just gives me chills no matter how many times I hear it, especially those high notes towards the end. Beautiful song, powerful vocals and great instrumentals. Thank you for sharing this one with us Hap3speakz! ♡

[@patriciamcclain7601]

I love Faithfully (my 2nd). First for me will always be Why Can't This Night Go On Forever.

[@jacquespicotte8886]

You were so wise to choose the video of that song with Steve Perry. Arnel Pineda was a super replacement and sang it similarly, but Steve is the best wine that must be served first. Stay safe and healthy Hap!

[@robertg7396]

One of my fav songs from them is; "Why can't this night go on forever". Check it out!

[@lcbcreative]

Steve Perry's voice still gets to me after all these years! This was played at dances, weddings, proms, etc. Even when the words don't fit, the emotion is all out there. His solo albums are very good also. Thanks, HAP!

[@TheQuietComprehending]

I am Faithfully going to be watching your videos. They're giving me something to look forward to as I am struggling.

[@jeffwarren4938]

Great song, guitar and voice....check out Triumph live at the '83 US festival l..Rik Emmett has as good a voice (different style), and a virtuoso guitarist to boot...one of the best live sets. This song is wonderful as well..beautiful.

[@Sawdoff2]

I love Journey. You ought to check out Steve Perry's album Traces. We're Still Here, No More Cryin, No Erasin, some good tunes. 70 years old and still has a voice.

[@michaela8706]

"Most Of All" my favorite song from that Album.

[@stephenhuber1219]

Lights

[@kwillette1701]

Love love love Journey…Steve Perry’s voice and Neil Schon’s guitar, just amazing! “Wheel in the Sky” is one of the most underrated Journey songs!

[@humboldtharry1289]

Trust me it’s not underrated, they just played the living daylights out of it back them.

[@christinedonnelly8330]

Yes... back then when we heard s Journey song for the first time, we got to hear it one time and then had to wait for only God knew when we'd hear it again, unless we ran out and rushed to the store to purchase the cassette.... IF it was out yet.

[@maryannsavage3724]

"I'll Be Alright Without You" is my favorite song of theirs. 🌹🎼🌹

[@debra7105]

❤ Journey

[@debbiemathews8302]

STEVE PERRY SANG HIS HEART OUT. LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES. THAT IS WHY HE IS THE VOICE.

[@stephenpemberton85]

Same here dude!..Send her my love is an ode to my mother that passed last year.✌💛🤘

[@sumerfluffy]

Journey has always been a favorite & will always be ♥️🔥 what a buzzing reaction! 🔥🥰

[@williamfisher8239]

Fyi, prince contacted journey noticing the similarity between his guitar solo in purple rain to that of schon in faithfully and asked for their permission to release purple rain. Kind of cool for one artist to contact another and be so cognizant and respectful of another's musical compositions.

[@velvahunt733]

1987 Journey...Why Can’t This Night Go On Forever.....one of my favorites!!!!

[@zanna90]

For Me? This shows how hard the road is on their relationship... the end showed the grit and ruffness it really is.

[@jamescaporale9367]

This is probably my favorite of the many terrific Journey tunes ...Steve Perry ...Michael McDonald 2 iconic voices ..

[@aliciapyszkowski5896]

I was just thinking of asking Hap to react to some Toto, especially one of my fav."I'll be over You", which actually features M McDonald on backing vocals....And I agree, Michael's vocals are iconic, so unique.... I love his song "I Keep Forgettin'".. and the Doobies hit "What A Fool Believes"

[@kwillette1701]

Omg YES!!! My two favorite male vocals ever!!

[@wendyhowe2178]

Got the privilege of seeing Journey live in 1983. Three shows that summer in July were all sold out. I was 15 years old. Best concert of my life. I adore this band. Steve Perry...still crushing on him after almost 40 years. This is my favorite band...not a song I don’t love. The rabbit hole is deep for Journey. They’ve paid their dues and did it right and the hard way. Endless touring...show after show. When I saw them live that summer in July 1983....best concert of my life!!! Hands down. Brings it all back. Faithfully...my favorite song! Try “lights” from 1978 original video. Beautiful!!! Keep the Journey reactions coming. Awesome!😎🎉💯

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

This is the song that Jonathan Cain wrote!! He's the ONLY writer of this song! He's the one who is sitting staring at the photo of his wife! The song was written for his then wife Tane' McClure!

[@luvjc68]

Yup.. His wife was concerned about cheating with the road life of many musicians and he was telling her that he has been faithful to her.

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

@@luvjc68 ... Yes! And yet sadly they ended up divorcing. My best friend I met Tane' at the 1983 concert in Houston, Tx!! Every time she walked by us we would yell for her and she would always turned and wave at us! She was super nice! And my goodness she was beautiful!

[@Quincysof]

❤❤❤one of my favorites!!!

[@jillmcilwain2633]

Well HAP, you just made my day!! Kings of the love power ballads! 🎤🎶🎸. Steve's voice conveys the love and pain at the same time, just incredible. Pure bliss. This song expresses the pain and loneliness of the road, but still remaining loving and true. ❤ You are just getting started on Journey, my friend! They are so much more than "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Open Arms", the ultimate relationship song for me. " Lights" "Lovin' Touchin'' Squeezin'" the little played "Only the Young" + "Sweet and Simple", " Stay Awile"' and "The Party's Over"...just to name a few. ❤. Peace J ✌ ☮

[@marymarin3277]

Yes another great Journey Song! Love it!!👍♥️😎

[@johnfaustintx]

When Journey came to be, years and years ago, it had so much airplay I put them on the back burner. It is nice to hear them now. Breaking down the song's lyrics has steered me back into their lane. I am not 100% sure yet but your reactions do open my mind to give them a listen, again. Thanks, for the reactions and thanks to Debra S. for the suggestion! 🙏

[@Amo-j6s]

Glad you like it!

[@lauraautry6992]

Awesome group 🎶❤️🎶

[@toddylu6869]

My father at 83, my Mom at 78 both took us to see Journey in Jr high/ High School before we could really drive. I can play this today and they sing with me word for word. One band that I have shared with them, decades. My daddy's most favorite song of all time....83 years of hearing everything.

I would love to see your reaction to this song but the live version in Tokyo so you can really appreciate those vocals even more❤

[@corazonyee7717]

My favorite journey song is Why can't this night go on forever 🎧❤️

[@thebull3365]

👍👍

[@grobinson7507]

This is my favorite and than send her my love. ♥️♥️♥️

[@Elizabeth-yp8re]

I saw them in concert in 1982...it was a great show.😉

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

So good right?! Kings of the power ballads- love it!

[@tonihagan8438]

Best voice of rock and roll. Steve Perry.

[@Elizabeth-yp8re]

Open Arms is beautiful as well.

[@Redtop-qh8zo]

I agree, WHY CAN’T THIS NIGHT GO ON FOREVER!!!😍

[@murdoch691]

It's about Steve being torn between his love of music and his love for his wife and kids but during the tour he had to tell her he was faithful because rock stars ain't always faithful

[@Jezebel09]

Actually this song was written by Jonathan Cain, referring to his wife….. as one can see in the mirror taped onto the mirror…… Steve is singing it, doesn’t mean he feels less about his girl when they are (were) on the road. This song was written about Jonathan Cains wife.

[@joymaxs2874]

I love Steve's voice so much. My first time listen to this song and I absolutely feel it. Great interpretation as always ❤️ I'm always learning something from yours.

[@halina8369]

Fantastic song and voice 💞 Balm for the soul 🌻 Great comment 🍀

[@donellefeltham]

These film clips are from the 1983 Frontier’s tour. It’s a Documentary of what goes into a Tour, right from the Roadies working, sound check’s and the concert. It’s on UTube The 1983 Frontier’s Documentary. Now that you have gone into Journey and you know a bit about them, I think you’ll enjoy it. 🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧🕺🏻💃🎸☘️

[@sassypatty2666]

Please listen to Mother Father. Faithfully is a great song written by Jonathan Cain to his wife.

[@terrilabeth7366]

The difference in this song is that it is just Steve Perry singing. No harmonies. And it sounds fantastic. I mean they are great together with the harmonies and it is showing them on the road together but it feels like he is just singing a message for himself and the rest of the band to their specific people. Now Hap, if you want to learn about the Birds and the Bees you need to listen to Lovin, Touching, Squeezing by Journey....fairly certain some babies were made during that song? Just saying, not admitting a single thing here....😂 thanks Hap! ❤️

[@denikennedy6675]

YES, I AGREE HAP, JOURNEYS MUSIC SEEMS TO BE VERY RELATIONSHIP DRIVEN. THIS IS A GORGEOUS SONG! IT'S HELL BEING APART FROM THE ONE YOU LOVE , EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT A "MUSICIAN" ON THE ROAD. YOUR STATEMENT "THE RIVER FLOWS ALOT DEEPER THAN WHAT MEETS THE EYE ( EXACTLY 💯) NO PUN INTENDED, BUT THAT'S A DEEP STATEMENT, HAP. LOVED IT 💕💕💕

[@tomcat3769]

M TV did a documentary on journey from Tour called raised on the radio it was awesome and you need to check this one out also on VH1 documentary call behind the music journey

[@lorettascurato2692]

I thought the lyrics were heartfelt and most likely true. Being on the road seems so sad and grueling. Perry’s voice is beautiful and one of my favorites. I’m thrilled to find this Journey reaction from you. Thanks!

[@Sparkly-Unicorn]

Great reaction to a great song!! I have always loved Journey and saw them in concert once. Faithfully is definitely one of their most popular songs. Please react to their song “Don’t stop believing”. It’s my favorite song by them. It has great lyrics and a cool melody.

[@johnhenry457]

This song was written by keyboardist Jonathan Cain about being away from her and on the road.

[@Elizabeth-yp8re]

Beautiful song. 'Lights' is great!😎🤗☮️❤️

[@aliciapyszkowski5896]

I like this one too Elizabeth..and also 'Still They Ride'

[@gracek4309]

Oh this was so good 🎶 I really enjoy ur reactions n Journey songs 🎧🎶💜 Thank u for this 🌈

[@karenparsons7788]

You need to Do Separate Ways by Journey!!!! It's a Great Song ❤️❤️...

[@robertaclark3286]

I love Journey

[@tonidarcy9577]

You cant live not still listening to what of the best bands in the 80's!!! Your in for a treat!! Thanks Hap❤

[@maryhuhnke8496]

Steve Perry was considered "the voice" of Journey..when he left, the band searched for a new frontman. Enter Arnel Pineda from the Philippines. Unbelievable and phenomenal!!

[@jillmcilwain2633]

I really liked Steve Augeri, but it was too soon after Steve Perry left, that they tried to replace him. There is no replacing THAT voice. (Another band comes to mind, as well, where the lead singer couldn't be replaced.) I am happy the the music is living on.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

This song is similar to another song in 1983. In New York, drummer Mickey Curry could not be with Bryan Adams to record some songs bc if a contract with another singer. Luckily, Steve Smith was nearby. He played drums in the Adams/Jim Vallance song Heaven. This song + Obsession were placed in the 1983 B movie A Night in Heaven. Next suggested song from Journey w/Steve Perry: Open Arms live in Houston. 🕊 Other songs: I'll Be Alright without You, Girl Can't Help It, Wheel in the Sky live, Separate Ways, Message of Love, Anyway You Want It, Mother Father live, Still They Ride live. Separate Ways live. 🌁

[@korinalacount2664]

2nd favorite song of Journey!

[@glenjones9029]

Love this song especially when Steve Perry sang it .Love is Voice, Love the Original although I’m a Filipino but I prefer Steve’s. Much better. Love Arnel too . Just love this Song the lyrics.❤️

[@chrisy8989]

I've only heard what you've heard too, Hap. I'm enjoying Journey but I don't find them very memorable. Maybe I'll appreciate them more through time. Thanks for the reaction, Hap and thanks for the request, Debra! 💙

[@rebeccamunoz2948]

Thanks for your reaction to my favorite Journey song. My Granddaughters is named after this great band. You always do great reactions.🎶🎶🎶💕💕🦋

[@keimahane]

This one breaks my heart every time I hear it. I know the pain of being away for way too much time, did 28 years at sea, it was painful and I missed a lot. I am fortunate that my family stayed together, many do not :(

[@jamesmorey7553]

The music business is very hard, you write the music, cut the album and your for 12-18 month worldwide. You try to call your girlfriend or fly them to where your performing, but for them after time it gets boring and and hard for them to do. It does put a strain on the relationship. You finish the tour, come home relax and start writing songs and the process starts all over again. I know from experience, the group I was in open up for Journey many times. It was hard and long, but I would do it all over again.

[@bella-xp7qd]

This was written by Johnathan the piano 🎹 player for his wife but unfortunately the marriage did not last

[@louispompeii2792]

I enjoy these Journey reactions on your end it's fun to watch that light come on when u see straight guys being very passionate but also "masculine" if you will. And a lot of it's about women n such. It's like you're F, these guys know how to put it out there. This is all middle school stuff for me. Always have a spec place for these guys. I'm not quite sure of your accent BUT I'm thinking you sound like a London boy. I've lived in your country it's a good place.

[@49er1619]

Why Cant This Night Go On Forever, After The Fall. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@amydavies2529]

Steve left the group to be a family mam, they could never find a replacement

[@amydavies2529]

I should explain, I know he never married, but he is a father and now a grandfather.

[@richj5953]

DAVINA MICHELLE ORIGINAL "SKYWARD "... Ridiculously beautiful with a voice to match.. Alone on a whole other level....

[@brendamartin4555]

#Steve Perry 💋💋💋

[@sherryarflin726]

Steve Perry is the best male vocalist on the planet......when he left Journey I quit listening to them. No replacement in my book will ever be good enough.

[@cameron_fairchild]

same. they got a li'l too cornball for me before that, but still...Steve's the greatest.

[@sherryarflin726]

Cameron , agree, agree, agree! Some people can’t ever be replaced!

[@patriciamcclain7601]

Steve Perry and Lou Gramm the two best singers on the planet. So true. My closest pick to sing Steve Perry is none other than their drummer Deen Castranovo. Drummer, singer, sounds most like Steve. Check out Deen singing Mother Father, Lights,

[@sherryarflin726]

Patricia McClain, thank you, I will.

[@DatboifromTX]

The replacement Is actually better

[@nanner3200]

Tip of the day: Your headphones work the best when they are plugged in. Good song. Top 2 Journey for sure. Memories! The video itself is a lot like Bon Jovi's Wanted dead or alive. On the road.

[@sandym4839]

Love songs was the NORM in the 70's and 80's. Today's music culture sometimes scares me because love is no longer encouraged and is even almost foreign....on purpose?

[@heidikleckawoodward20]

Genx call to assemble anthem cause as soon as we hear it start we stop n start singing . Lol

[@s.l.s.l.1405]

Absolutely understand what you mean about relationships today compared to the past. I think There's been a loss of respect and commitment. It's a disposable world we seem to be living in Great song and reaction!❤️
