Steve Perry "Missing You" - REACTION & RANT

[@gram5751]

I have tried to get people, including several other reactors, to listen to this song. Love the heartfelt emotion of this song. Steve is the best!

[@francinechabot837]

Same here!!!! I jumped off the sofa when I seen this!!! I was so excited someone finally reacted to it!

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

And this is why I think his replacement with Journey was a joke. Not trying to mean but I mean really ...come on man. This voice ?

[@stevegirardmedia2255]

Oh man… U gotta find the live version of this song from his ‘94 show in SF on YT. Also, U should react to Steve’s new stuff. He’s 73 now, but still sounds great. Here’s the link to “We’re Still Here” kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJOWZamVgNSAr5I

[@loredorsey2820]

This is actually in my top five songs of everything from Steve Perry. You can hear the passion and hunting pain come through his voice and eyes.

Best singer there ever was Steve Perry for sure my favorite

Steve Perry has a great voice

[@angeyturpin9037]

This is 1 of the best examples of Steve's magical voice. Also check out What Was!! It's incredible!! ❤

[@kimberlybarnes3626]

Still listening to Steve in 2024. I cry every time I hear this song, makes me sad that Steve never got married but he is not alone he has his beautiful daughter and his two grandchildren. I always pray for Steve that if he doesn’t know Jesus that he will.

[@pamjohnston7473]

Just saw an interview with Tim Miner, who he wrote this song with. Tim was interviewed by Mark Lowry 4 yrs ago on Mark’s channel. Tell’s about Tim leading Steve to the Lord. I don’t know how to link the video. Sorry. I was elated!

[@anncain2432]

Wow, all these years and never knew this song existed....just beautiful and moving me to tears. 💜

[@karenurbanski5004]

[@laurielacomb2765]

Steve has never married but continues to write and record his music. As you notice , his style of singing is absolutely heart felt!

[@bbtrainerfish7124]

Just think how so many people "love" Journey but only know Dont Stop Believin, and arent even aware of songs like this!

[@anncain2432]

I'm one of them....huge Steve Perry fan but never knew this song and heartfelt performance existed....what a special gift. 💜

[@vincechampion3031]

We’re Still Here is a great song by Steve Perry

[@Mary-cz8pf]

I'm so glad you did a reaction to this song. Absolutely love it

[@victorialw1]

Peope believe he wrote this for his mother, but during his concerts when touring for the "For Love of Strange Medicine", he told the story of this song, and it was written for his ex-girlfriend Sherrie. She is the one he wrote "Oh Sherrie" for. He said he came home while being gone for a while, and there was a voice message on the phone from her. I believe that he was with a different girlfriend at the time. He said that he didn't call her back, but he decided that it was still okay to miss her. That is where the idea for this song came from.

[@marcieharreld286]

Always good to hear the real story behind songs!! Thank you!!😊😊🤘🤘

[@victorialw1]

@@shezmullen2306 Good morning dear. I think you are thinking of the song "When I Think of You". Steve wrote it for his mom after he had that dream. It was on the Trial by Fire album. I'm pretty sure that you are talking about the same song. It's just called When I Think of You. Have a blessed day!

[@shezmullen2306]

@victorialw1 oh you are right!!! My apologies!!! Yes xx have no idea why I said the wrong song!!! Sheesh!! Thank you!!

[@jordanwilliams25328]

Brother, you should check out Steve Perry’s “Traces” album if you like this song. Look up “We’re Still Here”, “No More Crying”, and/or “No Erasing”

[@carolm3055]

No More Crying is a favorite. Traces is delicious!!!

[@edithkeller9694]

Steve Perry now and forever will always have the most perfect voice ever!! Glad to have been a child in the 70s and teen in the 80s when Journey was at their best!! Steve is AMAZING live also!

[@donnafox8885]

Love your reactions, here are a couple of Steve Perrys I Stand Alone, Foolish Heart, You better wait full version.. And journey why cant this night go on forever, after the fall, and there are several other Steve Perry songs that are great Oh i forgot Steve Perry What Was

[@ScubaChick97]

Yes!! Thank you SO much for reacting to this beautiful, underrated song! I have asked several people to react to this video and you are the first! Also check out Steve singing this song live in New York in the 90's as well.....great performance from The Voice! His voice is legendary!

[@berdy5064]

Love this song, so glad you reacted to it. If you'd like to hear Steve sing a Disney song check out "I Stand Alone". It's awesome! Another fav of mine is "If Only for a Moment, Girl". I think you'd like that one too.

[@vivianburton-yw8fn]

Yes he is

[@cden409]

Devin, Steve’s album For the love of strange medicine’ is a great, great , album. Steve has a best hits album also.

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

Fun Fact ......... This song was written with Christian song writer Tim Miner!! You should listen to the Missin' You demo with Perry and Miner! It's really good. You should also react to some of Perry's earlier solo stuff like ..... 'Oh Sherrie (his ex-girlfriend Sherrie Swafford, she also appears in the music video), Captured By The Moment (a song written about past music artist, those who were influential from the past), Strung Out, Foolish Heart (which took one take to make the video), She's Mine, You Better Wait (for some reason the whole video is cut towards the end), I Stand Alone, We Fly, We're Still Here, You Belong To Me, Most Of All, I Need You, Blue Jays Fly, Easy to Love, Summer Of Love, If Only For The Moment Girl (GREAT SONG)!!' Happy solo Perry!!

Omg!!!!! Today was the first time I heard this song and Tim Miner was the person that came to mind....with the background vocals!!! Wow!!!

Listen to "You Better Wait " by Steve

[@AnimatedSquirrel]

When you made the whole speech about experiencing time with loved ones, however long, it made me think of Kellie. She and Steve were only together for a year and a half but he seemed to truly cherish every moment he spent with her. I've heard that he was even going to marry her, but unfortunately she passed away before that could happen. I hope and pray they will see each other again someday. (As well as everyone else Steve has lost. RIP.)

[@lisaldeene]

OMG...I have not heard this song since my husband died 6 years ago, and I believe this was heaven sent at the right time. It just brought me one step closer to reconciliation and peace with losing my best friend, soul mate, and love of my life. Thank you!

[@a.j.castillon7361]

New subscriber here, thanks for listening & reacting to Missing You. I've been a Journey fan since Infinity, 1978. Steve Perry is my all-time favorite singer. There are more really great songs from "For the Love of Strange Medicine" album and really great songs from Street Talk, Traces, Greatest Hits, The Very Best of Steve Perry, that really show what Steve can do. He even has a new Christmas album, "The Season". We'll get into some incredible Journey song's another time. But if you ever get a chance, please check out these songs that myself and other Perry fans listed. They are so absolutely amazing!! You will be blown away and become a #1 Steve Perry fan, just like the rest of us, they are that good!! Here are some of my all-time favorite Steve Perry songs in no particular order. Anyway (Very personal & heartfelt song for Steve. Inspired by the band's demise) (Listen to his incredible highs @ 3;20) I Stand Alone (Quest for Camelot movie soundtrack) Steve Perry version. Phenomenal song!! Forever Right or Wrong (Love's Like a River) "I have a feeling, once you hear this, it might become your favorite!!" Oh Sherrie Foolish Heart Donna Please For the Love of Strange Medicine Captured by the Moment (Listen to the lyrics, he sings about true historical events) Somewhere There's Hope What Was If Only for a Moment, Girl One More Time (Bonus track) Enjoy & Perry on!!! 🙌🎤🎵🎶

[@missourimamma_117]

Just so you know, Steve is 74 and NEVER married. Neal Schon married 5 times. Jonathan I think 2x but not sure. Lots of hurt in all those years to write about. This one is so beautiful! Want to listen to Steve's fun side....listen to his duet with Kenny Loggins "Can't Fight It" and the audio "Can't Stop"! LOL Can't Stop is so fun!!! Oh also "I Believe" off Street Talk"!!! Want to hear Steve SOAR, listen to "Somewhere there's hope" off FTLOSM album. Jonathan Cain said in an interview that Steve "bled" every time he took that stage! Steve only knows how to sing with the HUGE soul God gave him. I for one am so so thankful Steve answered the purpose God put on his heart! Listen to Journey's last album with Steve "Trial by Fire". You will hear God in that album!

[@lesliedaubert1411]

He had a loving relationship with Kelly Nash.

[@larrydavis5880]

Wow, I haven't heard this song for years! I bought Steve Perry's 'For the Love of Strange Medicine' album when it came out in 1994. I was a teenager at the time and I really loved that album, and the song 'You Better Wait' was a hit and I suggest checking that one out, as well. After this album, Steve would release one more album with Journey ('Trial by Fire' in 1996) and then basically disappear from the music scene for the next 22 years. He finally released his third solo album, 'Traces' in 2018.

[@elizabethpetrone4267]

The live version of this, so much better, if that’s believable. Sacramento CA 1994

[@annkatherine6327]

I definitely recommend checking out "I Stand Alone", "Oh Sherrie", "You Better Wait", "Strung Out" and more recent "No Erasin'". In regards to Steve's Journey era, "Suzanne" is a small gem really worth listening to :)

[@draco4540]

steve perry has some good songs on his first solo album "street talk". it came out in 1984. i feel that steve perry and his songs are very underrated.

[@katelemieux5396]

You should search out the writing session for this song. It’s really interesting to hear the process.

[@karenurbanski5004]

Just an amazing voice

Glad you love his song, Steve says the songs he writes is for people to react the way the songs feels for you.❤️🙏🙏

[@shirleybuffington6420]

❤️❤️❤️this is a beautiful song and it shows he still has a great voice

[@gram5751]

This song was about his former girlfriend Sherrie. But you speculated on how Steve is now. Steve said that he believed he had a good heart but that a heart is not complete until it is completely broken. The loss of Kellie was devastating to him. But he has. chosen to keep his promise to her and not be isolated as he was before meeting her. He is sharing his music with us all again, making the world a brighter place. He seems to be in a very good place in his life now.

[@karenurbanski5004]

[@HucklebridgeC]

He never married, Sherrie, the girl who he wrote the song, ‘Oh Sherrie’ was his first love, but his crazy career couldn’t sustain the relationship. They went their separate ways (another song about their relationship). He met a woman who was terminally I’ll & they were together for about 2-3 years, after she passed he grieved another 2 years & then in 2018 he started writing songs again. His latest songs are a clear indication of his heart breaks. Just some fyi ❣️

[@lyndamowat3558]

He also dated a woman for 9 years; Robyn, in the 1990s. I bc hope she inspired this song

[@lesliefields7303]
