I know and it is so SAD that many are gone now, as we grow older but, we can only remember. We have our MEMORIES, these gifts left to all of us. Try to go there, just listen to Steve's music and "Journey" back in the day, and YOU WILL BE RIGHT THERE!!! Music transports us and we are 18 once again. How Wonderful is that?!!?!?!?
I will never understand why this song never became a world-renowned, household name ballad like Open Arms and Faithfully. It takes the best elements of both and tells its own story and, to me, at least, is even more beautiful than either one on its own.
Personally I like the song, but don’t like to hear it it much. The reason is that I feel he is announcing that he’s leaving Journey but he wanted the relationship he felt towards his to go on forever. I feel Steve went away forever because he felt he was betraying his fan but he had to go ….his voice, his heart was not in it anymore. Sadly he burnt out. We love his talent still.
One of the greatest vocalists of all time...I'll never get over how beautiful and amazing Steve Perry's voice is! And I agree, Journey isn't Journey without Steve Perry's voice... It's a one of a kind voice that will live on forever!!!
+Charlie Evans They are, Charlie, but it's a ripoff-bad covers- shitty triubutes nightmare. It's seems that all the great music are already done, dude.
Saw this live on the "Raised on Radio" tour in 1986 in Lakeland FL. Steve was sporting that red cape in style.. Great show..great times.. Steve Perry is Journey.
Anyone in their peak is awesome. But nature takes its toll on ALL OF US. His last tour concert was 1989, so we just saw all undying old clips that never aged his voice. There are a couple of new vids and just like everyone else, he sounds like a 70 year old man. Ageing is an inevitable process.
@@walterweir6788 he literally sung his hip off 💀 poor dude had a hell of a time with his hip for a few years, that's one of the reasons why he retired from Journey.
Steve Perry was a comet in our lifetimes, burning brightly and flashing through our lives for a brief period before flameout and gone forever - especially for those of us who grew up in the '80's and remember these songs and albums when they were new. Steve retired at the top of his game for his own personal reasons which only adds to his lore. For those of us who grew up listening to SP and this band, these songs - pure magic and brings back times and places we used to listen to them. Sweet memories, almost painful nostalgia for those days gone by as we grow older. There is no music like this anymore. Oh, and Journey isn't Journey without SP. God Bless you, Steve - and thanks for the memories! Godspeed!
Can’t believe this song hasn’t gotten the recognition it deserves. Should be on the top of the playlists. Just went to Journey’s Citi Field concert on 8-7-24 and if they had performed this one it would have probably been perceived as a new hit single.
So glad I saw them right before Steve left the band,the Canadian band”Glass Tiger” opened for them at the Richfield Coliseum in Richland Ohio in 1986,Journey has been the best concert I have ever been to,the year now is 2023 and I’m a 55 yo Metalhead who dug Journey
Have the Raised On Radio CD since the 90's. Didn't pay attention to this song until I found it and listened to it on You Tube. Steve Perry will always be the voice of Journey.
It's 2023 and I was holding and just sang this song to my beautiful 10 year old puppy while she was going into the twilight to go to sleep. My heart is broken and my eyes are full of tears because I loved her so much. She was my best friend and had cancer. I stayed up all night with her just loving her but I had to let her go. My beautiful gentle white German shepherd was a beautiful lady. Thank you for this beautiful song it's another memory for me to cherish. 💖
@Steve Perry not good I am so so heartbroken and I want my princess back. Can't stop the tears and keep playing the most beautiful song in the world I sang to her while I was holding her I rescued her from a terrible life and I just wish I had more time. What's in our hearts there's never time to say 🕊️ I was playing our song again and again and I will always love her dearly it is kind of you to reach out especially now
I am so sorry to just be thinking about my grief thank you kindly from the bottom of my heart for this most beautiful song with lyrics that will forever be locked in my ❤️ thank you Steve for mine and princesses special song
Now: April 2024...my memories go back to a time when I was a younger man, saw Mr. Steve "The Voice" Perry lead his Journey bandmates for two back to back concerts at the Providence Civic Center, and then the Worcester Centrum. Thankfully the memories remain of a happier, carefree time and of a voice that could hit 3 octaves.
Perry simply has the ability to hit that certain euphonic frequency of vocal perfection. This song is simply one of his best! A little reminiscent of Faithfully!
@@a.barnard3205 Man, I don't know... I've just finished listening to Raised On Radio and this is the song that really stood out for me. Faithfully has been on dozens of my playlists and it's one of the first Journey songs I ever heard (4th track on CD1 of the essential, my mom's cd) but this one has a different feel. I'll try to listen to it more, I really like it. But no, I wouldn't call this one a copy of faithfully, they both have their strengths and feels
Sometimes I need to remind myself just how great they really were. When people think I'm an old grouch because I rarely like new music - well... When you grew up like I did with the bar this high, what could measure up?
I get where you're coming from but there's no way you haven't found one good artist. You should listen to Camilla Cabello, shawn mendes, Harry styles, lizzo, miley cyrus, ariana grande, bazzi, bea miller
@@theQueen. Ummm... Well... Lizzo definitely. Ummmm... Ariana Grande somewhat, but she's very nasaly. Can you offer some others? I'm open to suggestions.
Just lay back, close your eyes, and play this song... it'll literally transport you to a place of serenity. Not just anything can do that. It takes an exceptional song, an exceptional band, and of course, STEVE!
Omg e is the best singer of all time saw them with SP 3 times and it was the best 3 nights of my life still listening and will listen for the rest of my life nobody could ever replace him won't ever come close
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER JOURNEY, ❤❤❤❤AND ABSOLUTELY. POSITIVELY THERE WILL NEVER (NEVER) EVER BE ANOTHER STEVE PERRY. HE'S OFTEN IMITATED BUT, NEVER DUPLICATED.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Truly hope Steve Perry realizes how many people's hero he is. Wishing him a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. May he have such joy and happiness as he has given to all of us, his fans, throughout the years. Lots of best wishes and love, Steve Perry !!!!!
Without a doubt, the best singer that ever lived!! I wish people would stop trying to sing like him, he can never be replaced. Miss you Steve, thanks for the memories and music that got me through life!!!
Towards the end of the song, Perry's beautiful voice, Neil's moving guitar chords, Bob's comfortable bass line, Smith's stable and moving drums, and Jonathan's beautiful piano sound -- the combination of the five sounds creates the greatest emotion, giving you goosebumps.
I heard Arnel try to sing this...and while he carried it, it sounded way more Broadway then it did soulful. That's the thing with Arnel, he has a great voice but no soul in his singing. Steve was built on soul in his voice and a song like this just kind cements why Steve was/is such a vocal giant.You can feel the emotion in the words...every word...he sings in a song like this. When he sings "tell me secrets, that make you cry" you can feel that shit...that's the sign of a master....not a mimic.
Cliff I completely agree with your comment. I can't understand how Neal Schon and others think Arnel Pineda sings ''exactly'' like Steve 'The Voice'' Perry.
Steve Perry has the most insane vocal range! He is a treasure. Definitely one of the most recognizable and just absolute BEST in the business! I’m so happy he found his love for music again!
I too was at this concert tour for Raised on Radio. Decided to ck out Augeri, disappointing, but went to Peoria to see Arnel. Left show early, couldn’t stand the showmanship. Why see a counterfeit when we still have the real thing on video! Just a loyal Steve fan who won’t waste the money anymore.
Sometimes it sucks that everyone is unique, I wish I could hear this today live. Everyone has an opinion but to me this is the best possible singing voice.
Little did they know that this would be more of a nostalgia video and while at the time it was the moment to be alive, it’s now but a long distant memory.
There is no group or voice that makes me more nostalgic and takes me back to the days of young love & absolute happiness. Thank you, Journey; nights listening to you will go on Forever...
@@lisysmariasantosnapoles6825 I've turned out 37 last week and I'm still listening this flawless band! Steve's voice is so smooth and gritty that I love all over these kind of things! Back to the past instantly ❤️❤️❤️🔥
My wife and I had the fortunate opportunity to see Journey on the “Frontiers” and “Raised on Radio” tours and one of the great times of our life together and at our wedding we had this song as our first dance together as husband and wife….that was well over 30 years ago with 3 awesome children and 3 grandchildren children later and all of them know this song and it’s meaning…Thank you Journey and especially Thank You Steve for giving us a true song that means as much to us today as it back then!!!
u got that right brother...how lucky we're we to have these phenomenal rock ballads at our age. Steve Perry is and will always be my #1 rock singer...hands down. Nobody belts out a melody better.
Yes it Was also great to be a freshman in high school and going to my first concert...Journey's Escape tour...Blossom music center in Ohio. I was always good in art class and the older girls in study hall would have me draw the Journey logo and beetle spaceship on their book covers. Yes definitely fun to be a teenager back then.
Steve has maybe 8 old souls living in that voice. There will never be another. W.O.W. Still now at 50 years old, I have never heard better... this was the voice of my youth.
Dodger...you are right on the money about Steve Perry's Voice...he was the voice of our 50 something year old generation!!!! This is my favorite Journey Song...their old stuff with Gregg Rollins was awesome too!!!
I know this is overly nostalgic but sometimes I feel like I would give up everything just to go back and watch them live onstage. If I could pick my Groundhog Day…. This would be it. And endless loop of that voice and this wonderful band
The magic of Steve Perry, He sings with such feeling that he makes us all fall in love with him. Tell me that yall didn't wish that you were "Sherry"??? The most beautiful Vocals ever, and Elvis but of course. MY 2 FAVORITES!!! I know he has lost his Love, but she will be there when it is time for him to go home. I pray you have Peace within, Happiness and Joy Mr. Steve Perry and THANK YOU for all the LOVE you shared through music. God Bless You!!!
every note is dripping with emotion .... there are other vocalists who may have wider ranges, can do all sorts of vocal dynamics, but no one comes close to Steve when it comes to passion. He doesn't need to do any kind of trickery - just the pureness of his voice is enough....
I can't think of a single vocalist with a wider range than Steve Perry, or one more capable of vocal dynamics and acrobatics. Have you heard some of the things he did live back in the late 70s? And yes, the emotion is just off the charts. His voice penetrates all the way into my soul. Always has.
Robin Vigil , truth. Every time I here his amazing voice, it brings back memories of the 80's...crystal clear! Some may disagree but nothing compares to the 80's!!!
A lot of us 50 somethings lived through the disco era as kids and then later as the 80's came along we discovered Journey on the radio. The rest is history. Long live the band by the bay.
I'm 58 I remember the disco era. Thanks Timothy, I read this I had a smile on my face. Last few days been hard but I needed that smile. Long live Journey.
Steve Perry was the best singer of Journey, not have one like him in the world! The Others are bad imitators only! Journey isn't Journey without Steve Perry!! Love You Steve Perry!!
I was born in the 50's and grew up listening to music and rock bands from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. I was a "classic rock" music fan and I saw a lot of the classic rock bands in concert live. My girlfriend back in the early 80's literally dragged me to a Journey concert because they weren't really my cup of tea. It only took that one concert to convert me. I had never heard a band or a lead singer that sounded better live than they did on vinyl. I was blessed to see them 5 more times live. Speaking from experience - NO ONE was better than Steve Perry and Journey. When my kids turned into teenagers they asked me if I wanted to go to a Journey concert (because they grew up listening to Journey in my car and in our house) with them. I asked if Steve Perry was singing - if it ain't Steve it ain't Journey. Reply
Same. It was my best friend who took me to see them in 1981 when we were 15 years old. Months before the concert, I was asking her what's all of this about Journey suddenly?? I had no idea what I was in for. Literally a life changing experience!! My jaw was on the floor (metaphorically of course). We were more than blessed in how many times we saw them in the next several years. I can't imagine how life would have been without the love I have for Journey and most especially Steve Perry and his Voice!! Steve Smith was a really nice guy, btw!!
Another Song from Steve that should have Won A Grammy So Much Talent, Songs that made sense and told of our human feelings and timeless meaning! Sad that this Fabulous Band never were on a Grammy Stage they should have Ruled the Grammys and had many many when others far less talented were winning ! I will never understand . I LOVE STEVE PERRY!
OMG Dianne, you're so right! It's irked me forever that so many Grammy winners in the past, pale in comparison to Journey with Steve Perry; with that voice and phenomenal musicianship not to be on the Grammy stage and awarded times over is unacceptable. They write their own lyrics, their own melodies, so much talent! I, like you just can't understand it either but I often question who are these people? Obviously they can't see true master class talent if they tripped over it. Thank you for sharing these thoughts!
In the 25+ years since this video/tour there has never been a voice like his. Is that even possible? Love Cain and Schon, but Journey is nothing without SP and SS on the drums. Thankful I was a child of the 80s.
Not taking anything away from Jonathan Cain, But Greg Rollie was a great contributor to the vocals and keyboard. There will never be a band of gypsies like this again the stadiums that they sold out , they were a dominant force of the late 70s and all of the 80s ! Damn the were Awesome.
I so wish this Journey could have gone on forever. No one, and I truly mean no one can come even close to having the voice, energy and talent of Steve Perry.
Love songs tend to do this...have found 1 or 2 running down myself whether listening or writing the finish on a song, which has been far too long for me to write...but...MUCH HERE LATELY LISTENING TO JOURNEY...T-H-E JOURNEY😏👍❣🎶💧AINT NOTHIN EMBARRASSING OR WRONG WITH THAT...JUST MEANS YOU'RE FEELIN WHAT YOUR'RE HEARING OR PLAYEN👍❣🎹🎹🎹🎼🎶👏
Just reading about the reaction to this song has song has me tearing up. The memories of concerts when I was young along with Steve's voice and knowledge that it's long gone........😢😢
I still can’t believe that I had to be home before BEFORE midnight on 12/31/86 Long Beach Arena -CA never have been able to see that concert in full - at least I gave up my stub to someone outside to see it he offered $$ but no way - here go have fun❣️if thinking maybe I should have had him get me their program - didn’t have enough money to get it - oh well
Journey and Steve Perry have written some of the most beautiful music the world has ever heard. Truly amazing! Steve's beautiful voice brings tears to my eyes!
LOST IN TWILIGHT; the memories, ........ Whats IN our hearts, theres never time to say,.......... JOURNEY, simply heaven!!! Without love, we won't survive!🍃🤎🍃🤎🍃🤎🍃🤎🍃🤎🍃
2023 still listening to this beautiful song. Steve Perry what an incredible singer, the one n only. His tone, diction, emotions n those high notes, noone can compare.
Agreed. And didn’t even move into falsetto! He pulled this off night after night while touring on the road. Very, very difficult, and eventually, Steve just had to stop and take a rest.
There will never be another singer like Steve Perry, his voice is iconic and his range is unbelievable but it is the passion and feeling he put into every song he sings is unparalleled. There will never be another and that's why his voice is still being played 30-40+ years later and that's why we are all still listening. God Bless You Steve and God Bless your Amazing Singing!
OMG, those notes at the end still get me every time sending tears pouring down my face 😭😭😭 STEVE PERRY do you know the power over us that you weild with that voice 😮😢😮❤❤❤❤❤
I love this beautiful song so much, but it makes me feel like crying, because I feel like Steve was saying farewell. His voice is so breathtakingly beautiful. He is the best of the best and such a rare talent.
Actually he was saying hello after 3 years off! He would spend the next 10 years with them before saying goodbye for 30 years! You must check out traces the album!
@@paulwojnilowicz5265 Thank you very much for your comment. Actually, I have the FTLOSM CD, the Trial By Fire CD, both of which I love, and I also have a copy of Steve's Traces CD, which I had bought from his official website. Traces is a beautiful album too and I love it, and Steve's voice is just as amazing as ever. I am, and always will be, a fan of Classic Journey, and of Steve Perry.. Have a great day.
You know what? I felt that same fear of him leaving Journey when this gem hit the charts, regardless of the lyrics. I didn't get it then, but I was suspicious. The way he delivered it was kind of different from the previous ballads. I would've loved to be wrong, but finally I was right. Journey and SP parted ways after that song. But thank God we still can go on to enjoy The Voice, either with the good old songs with Journey or in his solo career. No voice like his, sui generis. Regards.
I’m layman musician and I have loved and followed music of all genres since I was a young kid. But I’m the biggest fan of the 70 & 80’s rock era. And now at almost 60, I can say without reservation, Steve Perry is by far the greatest vocalist of all time…and man there has been so many great ones. His voice is pure, effortless, distinctive, emotional and all other descriptions one might say. And Journey…what can be said except “greatness for the ages.”
I can watch it over and over again and I melt every time. Steve with his absolutely unique voice sings to heaven. So sad that it broke up. The band was just perfect at that time. Journey without him is no longer Journey, but Steve will always be Steve the voice.
There was just something so real and pure about Steve Perry's voice . One of a kind.
Most underrated Journey songs ever. Wow. Just incredible. Steve Perry is by far the greatest male vocalist of all time.
Yes yes yes.
Definitely not!!!
I do agree with you!!!
GOAT
@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet
Then list who you'd put in the the TOP VOCAL PERFORMANCE by a male singer.
Sir Steve Perry - GOD OF MELODIC ROCK ! His vocal abilities are still UNPARALLELLED till date !
BEST VOICE EVER STEVE PERRY STRONG VOICE EXCELLENT.
Best male vocalist in the world

It will go on forever however this era is just beginning.
This song deserves a STANDING ovation
U r sooo right i love it an im 54 ❤
This song should be on the radio today because it is as good today as it was back in 1986 !!!!
👏🏼👏🏼 it is simply perfect! Tender, translucent and true. It’s happy and longing and rejoicing Magnificent ❤
If I'm not mistaken this is a live version during one of their tour..
I will never understand why this song never became a world-renowned, household name ballad like Open Arms and Faithfully. It takes the best elements of both and tells its own story and, to me, at least, is even more beautiful than either one on its own.
I couldn't agree more! Jonathan Cain and Steve Perry were master song-writers. One of my all-time favorite songs by them.
@@BirdieSenpai Or the song "Patiently" live at Comisky Park..
But not as memorable as either of those.

Time....has not changed this!
Very true it's just awesome
One of their most underrated songs ever that should have been a massive hit.
Facts
What are you talkin bout ??Freakin song was & still is one of their top greatest songs in my opinion!!
Probably was top 20. Maybe top 10.
Song peaked at 60 on the charts. Clueless as to why though.
Absolutely
This song is absolutely beautiful! Proud to grow up in the 80s.

Virtual hug. Just went through that as well.
As high as that beautiful guitar solo is....Steve Perry's voice sours above it! Amazing!!!

Absolutely! You summer it up very well.
Met Steve Perry a few years ago coming out of a deli (he lived just a few blocks away). What a delight to speak to this great talent!
That voice is such a gift to the world, unbelievable, unmistakable, perfection!
Back in the day.... Nothing better.
This this day, nothing better.

When Steve hits the high notes.....damm its magical
Truly hope Steve Perry realizes how many people's hero he is. Wishing him a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. May he have such joy and happiness as he has given to all of us, his fans, throughout the years. Lots of best wishes and love, Steve Perry !!!!!
Without a doubt, the best singer that ever lived!! I wish people would stop trying to sing like him, he can never be replaced. Miss you Steve, thanks for the memories and music that got me through life!!!
Towards the end of the song, Perry's beautiful voice, Neil's moving guitar chords, Bob's comfortable bass line, Smith's stable and moving drums, and Jonathan's beautiful piano sound -- the combination of the five sounds creates the greatest emotion, giving you goosebumps.
I heard Arnel try to sing this...and while he carried it, it sounded way more Broadway then it did soulful. That's the thing with Arnel, he has a great voice but no soul in his singing. Steve was built on soul in his voice and a song like this just kind cements why Steve was/is such a vocal giant.You can feel the emotion in the words...every word...he sings in a song like this. When he sings "tell me secrets, that make you cry" you can feel that shit...that's the sign of a master....not a mimic.
Cliff I completely agree with your comment. I can't understand how Neal Schon and others think Arnel Pineda sings ''exactly'' like Steve 'The Voice'' Perry.
Great and true comment Cliff,he is all passion,sensibility and talent,hard to replace someone like him
No matter how Arnel tries to imitate Steve Perry, he never will.....it's just imitation.....Steve is the one and only.....the real thing.....love him.
No one can Replace Steve Perry ever
Our love for Steve Perry will go on forever !!! Generation after generation . . . . .
When Steve sings "tell me secrets that make you cry" his voice is on another level
Agreed... totally amazing
I agree. And also the opening "Lost in twilight" gives me chills!
Those poor guys Steve was the best he should have stayed
😩😩😩
Steve Perry has the most insane vocal range! He is a treasure. Definitely one of the most recognizable and just absolute BEST in the business! I’m so happy he found his love for music again!
Wowwwww
You look so nice
This is when music was music
I saw Journey in 1986 on this same Raised on Radio tour and refuse to see them again without Steve Perry on lead vocals. We love you Steve!
I too was at this concert tour for Raised on Radio. Decided to ck out Augeri, disappointing, but went to Peoria to see Arnel. Left show early, couldn’t stand the showmanship. Why see a counterfeit when we still have the real thing on video! Just a loyal Steve fan who won’t waste the money anymore.
@@pamjohnston7473 Exactly Pam. Glad I didn't make the same mistake with my money! 😂
Sometimes it sucks that everyone is unique, I wish I could hear this today live. Everyone has an opinion but to me this is the best possible singing voice.
The 80's were fantastic, we didn't know that then, we had Journey!
@@Mikessongs952 Thank you!
It was an awesome time. I am sitting here listening to this and missing it even more.
Yep you got that right it was a good time to be a teen!
The Outfield opening for Journey in '87. Those were great shows.
I caught that on the sign in the video. I was a fan. We had a British music invasion in the 80's. Good music!
Little did they know that this would be more of a nostalgia video and while at the time it was the moment to be alive, it’s now but a long distant memory.
There is no group or voice that makes me more nostalgic and takes me back to the days of young love & absolute happiness. Thank you, Journey; nights listening to you will go on Forever...
a day without a journey song is like a day without sunshine
Nicholas Reando That is so very true listen to them everyday. Steve's voice is AMAZING and these guy's were AMAZING together!!💙💙💙
Journeys songs should not be sung with an accent.
Period.
2020 and we are still listening to journey with Steve Perry!! Anyone else is listening?
@@lisysmariasantosnapoles6825 I've turned out 37 last week and I'm still listening this flawless band! Steve's voice is so smooth and gritty that I love all over these kind of things! Back to the past instantly ❤️❤️❤️🔥
Agree!
Steve Perry’s voice in this song is majestic and out of this world ❤️❤️❤️
Never be another Steve Perry, that voice . Goosebumps 🎶🎵🎤🎸🎹❤️
Why cant this voice go on forever! I just love it!
Very well said
So if you like this, you will enjoy traces! Especially what was off his album for the love of strange medicine!
This Voice is back and still going!!
❤️🎶😁🎶❤️
One of my all time favorite vocalist/ singer and hero I've had the privilege to grow up with and enjoy in my lifetime!
My wife and I had the fortunate opportunity to see Journey on the “Frontiers” and “Raised on Radio” tours and one of the great times of our life together and at our wedding we had this song as our first dance together as husband and wife….that was well over 30 years ago with 3 awesome children and 3 grandchildren children later and all of them know this song and it’s meaning…Thank you Journey and especially Thank You Steve for giving us a true song that means as much to us today as it back then!!!
2:25 through to 3:05 Perry takes it to the stratosphere. Amazing.
I DON'T care qhat ANYONE says,Journey,and music,LOST when Steve left. Absolutely the G O A T!!!!
it was so cool to be 12 in 1980...
Perry remains my top rock singer of ALL..freaking...time
yes...and why did I make that above comment?
I dunno... but it's true!
;)
"it was so cool to be 12 in 1980...Perry remains my top rock singer of ALL..freaking...time"
u got that right brother...how lucky we're we to have these phenomenal rock ballads at our age. Steve Perry is and will always be my #1 rock singer...hands down. Nobody belts out a melody better.
Yes it Was also great to be a freshman in high school and going to my first concert...Journey's Escape tour...Blossom music center in Ohio. I was always good in art class and the older girls in study hall would have me draw the Journey logo and beetle spaceship on their book covers. Yes definitely fun to be a teenager back then.
I was 13 those were the days. I would go back in a second.
Steve has maybe 8 old souls living in that voice. There will never be another. W.O.W. Still now at 50 years old, I have never heard better... this was the voice of my youth.
Dodger...you are right on the money about Steve Perry's Voice...he was the voice of our 50 something year old generation!!!! This is my favorite Journey Song...their old stuff with Gregg Rollins was awesome too!!!
My apologies...meant to type Gregg Rolie (spelling?)
Yea, I am with you - love the old stuff with Gregg Rolie. Their voices were great together.
Dodger Dogz Sam Cooke has an amazing voice too. You could argue that Sam and Steve have very similar vocal styles.
Sean Rooney You're absolutely correct. Sam and Steve do have similar styles, I agree. Sam belongs in the elite group, too.
Steve Perry's vocal range is insane - I just adore this song throughout but from 2:25 onwards it's breathtakingly stunning, brings me to tears 💜😢✨️
Journey isn’t Journey without Steve Perry at all. You cannot change my mind.
The footage, along with Steve's beautiful voice, takes you back in time, to a place I miss!
Me.2..wow
I'm there and it's amazing god I miss the 80s
I know this is overly nostalgic but sometimes I feel like I would give up everything just to go back and watch them live onstage. If I could pick my Groundhog Day…. This would be it. And endless loop of that voice and this wonderful band
Me, too. It was such a better world back then.
That’s what makes this song so beautiful and emotional for me, what you said here Catherine. I think we feel an emotional connection.
The magic of Steve Perry, He sings with such feeling that he makes us all fall in love with him. Tell me that yall didn't wish that you were "Sherry"??? The most beautiful Vocals ever, and Elvis but of course. MY 2 FAVORITES!!! I know he has lost his Love, but she will be there when it is time for him to go home. I pray you have Peace within, Happiness and Joy Mr. Steve Perry and THANK YOU for all the LOVE you shared through music. God Bless You!!!
every note is dripping with emotion .... there are other vocalists who may have wider ranges, can do all sorts of vocal dynamics, but no one comes close to Steve when it comes to passion. He doesn't need to do any kind of trickery - just the pureness of his voice is enough....
I can't think of a single vocalist with a wider range than Steve Perry, or one more capable of vocal dynamics and acrobatics. Have you heard some of the things he did live back in the late 70s? And yes, the emotion is just off the charts. His voice penetrates all the way into my soul. Always has.
ua-cam.com/video/MxGEVIvSFeY/v-deo.html
I agree completely. One only has to scroll to about 2:30 to see a fine example of his range!!😵
Robin Vigil , truth. Every time I here his amazing voice, it brings back memories of the 80's...crystal clear! Some may disagree but nothing compares to the 80's!!!
@@SamsaraSings from my hometown in Cali Lemoore
Tho only other couple singers I would put in with him is stevie nicks and there's a few more but Steve is way up there for sure
FROM THE TIME WE STILL HAD GOOD MUSIC ! 🤩🙌
A lot of us were there when this music was "now".....that was an amazing time. Still is.
A lot of us 50 somethings lived through the disco era as kids and then later as the 80's came along we discovered Journey on the radio. The rest is history. Long live the band by the bay.
What did you think of punk/new wave?
@@duffbaker9554 wouldn't in to the punk but I always liked the new wave sound. The Go-Go's were considered punk at first.
@@N4TCM Yep, Blondie as well. Those were the days as they say...
Yep I was a kid in the 70s and high school in the 80s. Amazing memories.
I'm 58 I remember the disco era. Thanks Timothy, I read this I had a smile on my face. Last few days been hard but I needed that smile. Long live Journey.
not even 2 million hits this song deserves 200 million!!!!!!
Truly does
It's 6 millions now
Only chose can experience that and we are them...
My fav song from Raised on Radio
This video is amazing... the scenes, the song lyrics and melody, the instrumentals, and of course Steve's incredible voice...
ASOLUTE PERFECTION.❤
Perry has a soulfullness that can't be touched.
Steve Perry was the best singer of Journey, not have one like him in the world! The Others are bad imitators only! Journey isn't Journey without Steve Perry!! Love You Steve Perry!!
I was born in the 50's and grew up listening to music and rock bands from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. I was a "classic rock" music fan and I saw a lot of the classic rock bands in concert live. My girlfriend back in the early 80's literally dragged me to a Journey concert because they weren't really my cup of tea. It only took that one concert to convert me. I had never heard a band or a lead singer that sounded better live than they did on vinyl. I was blessed to see them 5 more times live. Speaking from experience - NO ONE was better than Steve Perry and Journey. When my kids turned into teenagers they asked me if I wanted to go to a Journey concert (because they grew up listening to Journey in my car and in our house) with them. I asked if Steve Perry was singing - if it ain't Steve it ain't Journey.
Reply
Same. It was my best friend who took me to see them in 1981 when we were 15 years old. Months before the concert, I was asking her what's all of this about Journey suddenly?? I had no idea what I was in for. Literally a life changing experience!! My jaw was on the floor (metaphorically of course). We were more than blessed in how many times we saw them in the next several years. I can't imagine how life would have been without the love I have for Journey and most especially Steve Perry and his Voice!! Steve Smith was a really nice guy, btw!!
people who experienced that live are blessed
SP as a guest vocalist in Vegas with Journey. Ticket price. Priceless.
When did that ever happen.?! Arnel is the singer now and Steve didn't even sing at their awards!!!! There is no footage of that!!! Show me!!!
He doesn't want to sing with Journey anymore
Journey needs him he doesn't need Journey!!!
No disrespect to Arnel!!!
Another Song from Steve that should have Won A Grammy So Much Talent, Songs that made sense and told of our human feelings and timeless meaning! Sad that this Fabulous Band never were on a Grammy Stage they should have Ruled the Grammys and had many many when others far less talented were winning ! I will never understand . I LOVE STEVE PERRY!
100% agree. Too much competition back then. Michael Jackson , Madonna , Lionel Richie etc. shows you how good music was
COULDNT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!!
He’s from my hometown Lemoore California
OMG Dianne, you're so right! It's irked me forever that so many Grammy winners in the past, pale in comparison to Journey with Steve Perry; with that voice and phenomenal musicianship not to be on the Grammy stage and awarded times over is unacceptable. They write their own lyrics, their own melodies, so much talent! I, like you just can't understand it either but I often question who are these people? Obviously they can't see true master class talent if they tripped over it. Thank you for sharing these thoughts!
I will never understand either. The best band of all times, and never come back
In the 25+ years since this video/tour there has never been a voice like his. Is that even possible? Love Cain and Schon, but Journey is nothing without SP and SS on the drums. Thankful I was a child of the 80s.
+Cyndi Rowan you are soooo right!!!
Not taking anything away from Jonathan Cain, But Greg Rollie was a great contributor to the vocals and keyboard. There will never be a band of gypsies like this again the stadiums that they sold out , they were a dominant force of the late 70s and all of the 80s ! Damn the were Awesome.
I love Voice love love love steve
The.best.band.,ever.is.jounrey.with.steve.perry...!..4.ever.
Please check out an album called traces! Even at 74 I promise you will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
Can't believe this wasn't a huge hit for them....Fantastic song
I so wish this Journey could have gone on forever. No one, and I truly mean no one can come even close to having the voice, energy and talent of Steve Perry.
True...
I have tears in my eyes. My friends are looking at me like I'm crazy. Love him and this song.
Ann Sebastiano ..be crazy for Steve its always ok
Love songs tend to do this...have found 1 or 2 running down myself whether listening or writing the finish on a song, which has been far too long for me to write...but...MUCH HERE LATELY LISTENING TO JOURNEY...T-H-E JOURNEY😏👍❣🎶💧AINT NOTHIN EMBARRASSING OR WRONG WITH THAT...JUST MEANS YOU'RE FEELIN WHAT YOUR'RE HEARING OR PLAYEN👍❣🎹🎹🎹🎼🎶👏
RIGHTFULLY♡♡♡
Just reading about the reaction to this song has song has me tearing up. The memories of concerts when I was young along with Steve's voice and knowledge that it's long gone........😢😢
Crying is ok. Music is supposed to bring about emotion!
I still can’t believe that I had to be home before BEFORE midnight on 12/31/86 Long Beach Arena -CA never have been able to see that concert in full - at least I gave up my stub to someone outside to see it he offered $$ but no way - here go have fun❣️if thinking maybe I should have had him get me their program - didn’t have enough money to get it - oh well
Journey and Steve Perry have written some of the most beautiful music the world has ever heard. Truly amazing! Steve's beautiful voice brings tears to my eyes!
Been listening to this song multiple times a day for a couple of weeks. I can't seem to get enough of Journey. Steve Perry's voice is mesmerizing.
He is a legend...
I feel the same way!!!!! I have to listen to it every day!!!!!😍😩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes it is! I have a daily dose of it!💕
Same here. This song has been on repeat for days.
LOST IN TWILIGHT; the memories, ........
Whats IN our hearts, theres never time to say,..........
JOURNEY, simply heaven!!!
Without love, we won't survive!🍃🤎🍃🤎🍃🤎🍃🤎🍃🤎🍃
2023 still listening to this beautiful song. Steve Perry what an incredible singer, the one n only. His tone, diction, emotions n those high notes, noone can compare.
Just wow, sustained tenor high C#s and topping out at E5, that takes a lot of skill and effort, Steve truly is one in a million!
Agreed. And didn’t even move into falsetto! He pulled this off night after night while touring on the road. Very, very difficult, and eventually, Steve just had to stop and take a rest.
Words aren’t sufficient to describe Steve (& Journey’s) magnificence ~ seriously. They’re untouchable.
Thank you for the video!
This is the greatest ballad ever written by Steve Perry for journey and all the fans around the world a beautiful song 👍👍⚘
better than "Patiently" or "Faithfully" ?
There will never be another singer like Steve Perry, his voice is iconic and his range is unbelievable but it is the passion and feeling he put into every song he sings is unparalleled. There will never be another and that's why his voice is still being played 30-40+ years later and that's why we are all still listening. God Bless You Steve and God Bless your Amazing Singing!
OMG, those notes at the end still get me every time sending tears pouring down my face 😭😭😭 STEVE PERRY do you know the power over us that you weild with that voice 😮😢😮❤❤❤❤❤
Neal Schon and Steve Perry were such an amazing team. I’d wish they’d stayed together. I really miss the 70-80s
I love this beautiful song so much, but it makes me feel like crying, because I feel like Steve was saying farewell. His voice is so breathtakingly beautiful. He is the best of the best and such a rare talent.
Actually he was saying hello after 3 years off! He would spend the next 10 years with them before saying goodbye for 30 years! You must check out traces the album!
@@paulwojnilowicz5265 Thank you very much for your comment. Actually, I have the FTLOSM CD, the Trial By Fire CD, both of which I love, and I also have a copy of Steve's Traces CD, which I had bought from his official website. Traces is a beautiful album too and I love it, and Steve's voice is just as amazing as ever. I am, and always will be, a fan of Classic Journey, and of Steve Perry.. Have a great day.
You know what? I felt that same fear of him leaving Journey when this gem hit the charts, regardless of the lyrics. I didn't get it then, but I was suspicious. The way he delivered it was kind of different from the previous ballads. I would've loved to be wrong, but finally I was right. Journey and SP parted ways after that song. But thank God we still can go on to enjoy The Voice, either with the good old songs with Journey or in his solo career. No voice like his, sui generis.
Regards.
One the very BEST Rock Ballads EVER!!! They might not remember...but WE DO!!! 😎 🤘🔥🔥🔥
I’m layman musician and I have loved and followed music of all genres since I was a young kid. But I’m the biggest fan of the 70 & 80’s rock era. And now at almost 60, I can say without reservation, Steve Perry is by far the greatest vocalist of all time…and man there has been so many great ones. His voice is pure, effortless, distinctive, emotional and all other descriptions one might say. And Journey…what can be said except “greatness for the ages.”
Perfectly said!
Total agreement!# 61 here and yes.. Those were the tines of our lives
Steve has been far the best Journey lead singer ever....he is simply unique!!
I can watch it over and over again and I melt every time. Steve with his absolutely unique voice sings to heaven. So sad that it broke up. The band was just perfect at that time. Journey without him is no longer Journey, but Steve will always be Steve the voice.
Gives me chills only true old school die hard fans of Journey can get...
