My favorite line, "I get the joy of rediscovering you." One of the best songs ever.

[@johnjsal]

I so agree. One of the best lines in any song!

[@heatherkandrick1191]

Yes!!! Beautiful and emotional!!

[@Elisa-vg4qt]

Me too!

[@controlledburst]

Wow, I keep seeing this same statement in 'Faithfully' comments. Ditto! That line is unique - never seen it penned in lyric or prose before. Very evoking and a beautiful expression. Faithfully is tied with the top two best pop love songs ever, IMO. The other is Chiquitita by Abba (IMO)

[@gogriz3591]

"Two Strangers learn to fall in love again"

[@mikerichardson8983]

That's Steve Perry "The Voice". No one can sing that song like him. One of the most beautifully written songs of all time, and sung to perfection. No auto tuning necessary. Like alot of today's artists.

[@leslieduncan2405]

Freddie Mercury could sing rings around Steve Don't misunderstand.....I LOVE STEVE....., But he's just NOT Freddie

[@kgunitkeese17]

@@leslieduncan2405 begging no offence, but Freddie’s voice was a hit or miss. His range was definitely bigger than Steve’s, but his higher register was sometimes breathy and pitchy. Steve’s were always full and smoky. Isolate the vocals from Bohemian Rhapsody and you will hear Freddie’s voice being pitchy.

[@dhawkins13770]

@@leslieduncan2405 Freddie Mercury was a talented singer, BUT he could not touch the clarity and emotion of Steve Perry...and to this day, no one has.

[@eljay345]

@@kgunitkeese17 I completely agree with you! Steve ''The Voice'' Perry still has the most emotive singing voice that I've ever heard! 😀💕👍

[@laurie0216]

I remember Randy Jackson, who played guitar with Journey for a while saying that Steve Perry's voice was always perfect pitch, on any song, any note. He had never heard anyone else sing like S.P.

[@shirleybuffington6420]

The guy playing the piano wrote this song for his girlfriend trying to let her know he would not cheat on her .

[@mizbehavin]

If you don't know who "that guy" is, your parents failed you. My 40 year old daughter still plays Journey, Bob Seger, the Eagles, etc. The best music, ever.

[@jessieholmes4548]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@sharonkirkpatrickcowzer9410]

I’m so grateful to have lived in the 70’s and 80’s. My generation had the best music performed by artists with real talent. When the greats of that era are gone there is no one to replace them.

[@sharipetkovsek5502]

Oh "that singer" was Steve Perry...the original and best. And yes our music from 60's and 70's was the best...pure talent across the board and timeless

[@robynhurley5119]

Steve perry. The voice!!!!

[@joanfisher1079]

Just a Side note: Prince actually contacted Journey to request their blessing in releasing his own song Purple Rain thinking his guitar work especially his ending solo and Schons ending solo in Faithfully sounded very much alike. Class Act.

[@nnmrtin8426]

ohh thats why i can kinda see the similarity

[@TheRealSquoosh]

Steve Perry's voice is GOLD!

[@jakenunya1587]

The 80's were... by far... the greatest era in popular music.

[@sheilaschnee9444]

I so agree.

[@waltercobra1566]

The Lead Guitarist "Neil" was on stage with Santana when he was 14. He is that good.

[@Melly01]

I agree. I grew up with 70s and 80s music as the soundtrack of my teenage years. I think when younger KZbin reactors started discovering "my music," I realized that I'd been given such a gift growing up with that music and never realized I was living through history. I see Queen at Live-Aid, my very first concert was Styx, Journey, Foreigner, Madonna, Michael Jackson and on and on. It seems like yesterday, but also the lifetime ago that it was. That's part of the reason I like reactions, I think - it brings the magic back to music I've taken for granted most of my life. 🎸🎵🎙

[@jzander2966]

I agree. I think we just thought music would just continue to be as good as what we were experiencing during these decades never knowing that we were living when the quality of music was peaking............never to be as good as before. Who knows?????

[@scottc.7541]

As a child when video games first hit the arcades, I vaguely remember a video game with Journey's name on it. That has to be some sort of pinnacle, LOL! The funny thing is this, I was too young to be allowed to "touch the knobs" on the Hi-Fi (too funny to actually type that now) and my parents listened to country and easy listening, so I didn't even know about Journey at the time. Not until I got one of their greatest hits cassettes after they had already gone their separate ways did I realize how great they were!

[@brandothecatmeow]

Same for me. Having an older sister, I was influenced by what she listened to. The Stones, The Ramones and all the others you mentioned. I am a proud kid of the 80s Era

[@kimcat3760]

I agree Michael! I was born in 1960, so most of my music listening was done in the 70’s. We had no clue back then that what was rock n roll then wouldn’t last forever. It seems like the more bands could do with the age of computers, the less they did themselves! Music these days with tunes that are “adjusted” by computers just don’t hold a candle to what I grew up with! Back then, there was a certain vibe that came with the whole rock n roll experience that simply doesn’t exist anymore. I feel lucky to have grown up when I did‼️

[@SouthernArtist77]

Well said.

[@terri348]

Steve Perry-sang faithfully, don't stop believing and many more. A voice never imitated.Perfect.

[@craigconkel29]

I’m 68 born at the right time in the golden renaissance age of music that can never be replicated and will be listened to for hundreds of years it was a golden age what time I’ll never forget!

[@vanessa4u4evr]

In the 60s, 70s and 80s, music wasn't just about entertainment. It was about exposing and expressing our common struggles, joys, gifts and happiness as one. It was also our therapy. It healed us because therapy was only available to the wealthy, not the common man. It truly brought us closer together than any laws or political efforts did during that time. Today's music, for the most part, emphasis on 'MOST', is culturally disengaging.

[@debraconner2493]

How did you not react to one of the most romantic lines in music history??? "I get the joy of rediscovering you". Come on man!!! 😂 That line is beautiful!!! You might as well check out their other beloved ballad "Open Arms". Great song as well. You just can't beat Steve Perrys vocal delivery in anything he sings.

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)", "Send Her My Love", "After The Fall" etc.

If you look into the life of Steve Perry you will find that you were really on target. He gave up everything to take care of his lady and she made him promise to return to recording after she passed. He is the GOAT of singers for rock with maybe Lou Graham and a couple of others.

[@joaniepolicy4176]

He had actually, been out of Journey for over 10yrs when he met the Woman you are speaking of & had other relationships prior. One woman he was with 9 yrs prior to the woman that he promised to go back to music when she died in 2012. He only got to be with her approx 1-1/2’yrs as she had stage 4 Breast Cancer when they met.

They first performed this song in 1983 in Japan. Completed in 1982 written by keyboardist (Jonathan Cain) on a paper napkin on a bus ride to New York City dedicated to his wife, since he was always touring, but they all paid the price of losing their love because of the road life they lived.

This was definitely a "80s power ballad." But the "love song" that I enjoy more than this is their biggest hit of their career, "Open Arms" (it spent 6 weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart). It's one of the best love songs EVER and should listen to it!

[@scottblair8625]

This song was written by Jonathan Cain the keyboard player for Journey. Its a love song to his wife when they were having some struggles with him being gone on the road all the time and her being home missing him.

[@janicemichaelsedona1146]

Truly beautiful! Song was written entirely by Jonathan Cain when he was having marriage difficulties. The lyrics and words are beautiful but, it became a hit because of Steve's Perry's haunting and soaring vocals, it brought the song to life. Steve's voice gave every song so much meaning!
