LYRICS
I know it’s been a long time comin’
Since I saw your face
It’s been so long since we’re together,
In the back seat of your car
Ooo, oh
You used to be my girl
Hold me close ‘cause I remember,
How could I forget
{Chorus}
No Erasin’
I’ve felt this once before
No Erasin’
No runnin’ anymore
My soul’s burnin’,
Just like it was before
No Erasin’
Our love just won’t let go
Oh…
Summer nights in sweet surrender
Underneath the stars
One more time we’re here together
In the back seat of your car
You used to be my girl
Hold me close ‘cause I remember
How could I forget
{Chorus}
{Bridge}
Told you of my love today
Rain comin’ down
You laughed with me and sheltered me and
(Turned me on)
You won’t see me, you won’t see how
(Ya done me wrong)
Ya done me wrong, and you won’t try
No Erasin’
I felt this once before
No Erasin’
No runnin’ anymore
My soul’s burnin’
Just like it was before
No Erasin’
This love won’t let go
I told you of my love today
Rain comin’ down
You laughed with me and sheltered me and
Turned me on
How many people are happy Steve is healthy and back for us😊😊
I'm a 54 year old black man crying tears of pure joy. My ears didn't miss Steve Perrys voice,my soul did. Talk about light in the darkness. I feel there's hope for humanity again. I'm so grateful for you what Arnel Pineda gave to us over the last 10 years or so,I truly am grateful. Only now did I recognize that he satisfied my ears,but fell short of soothing my soul. Let me thank Steve Augeri as well...job well done. Let me be clear Steve A. And Arnel are two of the most amazing voice on earth. But Steve Perry voice is truly heaven sent. I've been waiting soooo long to say this...Wecome Back Steve!🤷🏾♂️👍🏾🐬
Amen!
julian baughman I'm a brotha too and you got that right!! Steve ROCKS!! Cant wait to hear the rest of the project!! Peace Julian!! ✌🎹🎤🎧
What a beautiful and heartfelt comment. I'm touched because I can relate to your words. ❤️
Best. Freaking. Comment. Ever.
Thank you Julian Baughman for expressing so perfectly how I/we feel about Steve's music.
He is like 73 years old and the voice still INCREDIBLY AMAZING.
I miss the real singers like him 💝
No el tiene 64 años es la edad de hermano y la misma cara la sonrisa
His voice is a joy to hear and he still the voice nomatter who say different they are tone deaf
Yea if I hear one more person say his voice is shot, I am going on a rampage, Its a liitle more smokey but he sounds more Motown with it. My fav white singers are Jimmy Barnes, Steve, and Paul Rogers there are no better white singers in the world. I don't count the Buckley or the great Cornell we have sadly lost them.
@@matthewburrows4359 his voice is still perfect in my eyes… Especially considering how other elite singers have degraded over the years… The fact it's still incredibly pleasant to listen to and he can definitely still hit the high notes… He just straight up has a natural talent that can not be matched at this point. Anybody that says his voice is "shot" doesn't have a grip on reality… But then again there are also people that vote for Donald Trump to lead our great nation… So yeah.
@@andrewlindenfeld6222 Agreed, apart from the political point. He has a lovely Sam Cooke lilt to his voice now.
Steve belongs to that time where there was no autotune or any of that crap, this dude is pure talent, an absolute legend ! I’m so goad I grew up during the best time of music ever ! The 80’s !
yeah the 80s variety and musicianship… awesome…
💯 percent love it !!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
It hasn’t changed so that I wouldn’t recognize who was singing. It may be a little different but I still hear my favorite singer of all time ♥️♥️
How many people are happy Steve is healthy and back for us 😊😊
Paloma 1003 stop counting.just enjoy his great talent
Paloma 1003 ::::♥::::
Paloma 1003 me 🙋so very happy to see him back. Amazing voice never changed. Welcome home Steve we love and missed you.
Ooh....ooh..I Am! ✋
Paloma 1003 eh. I want a greatest hits tour. That's all. This is horrible and nobodybis going to buy this or play it on the radio. Just luke madonna, prince, janet, cher, hell anyone over 40. It has nothing to do with my feelings. This is just facts. People around him just kiss his ass and lie to him. A greatest hit reunion tour would easily top q billion dollars and maybe be the highest grossing tour of all time. Madonna and U2 and stones hold almost every spot on that list so its literally theirs for the taking. Im sure tbey would let him do a few of his new songs like the rest do. However he will get his feelings hurt bc that will be bathroom and beer run time. Just like at aerosmith and already mentioned artist.
Freaking Steve Perry...I'm 66, never thought I'd see him sing again..can't describe the joy I feel....
Liking your comment for #66 just felt appropriate.
John, I am 50 but I feel the same. ;-)

Steve Perry is better at 73 years old than any singer today
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
Who else is balling their eyes out from missing him so much and seeing how well he is 😭
I'm not. But if you need a shoulder to cry on then let me hold you.... 😁
@@hanestshirtsarecool MeMeMe!!!
I'm glad he's back even though his voice is shot. But he left the scene the second time around 96, so I'm guessing you were around 6 yrs. old?
I am! It's such a gift. It feels like a long lost most beloved friend is back. So lovely feeling! 🤗 ❤️
@@stevet7487 his voice is still better than this crap on the radio today and I'm not 6
Please somebody WAKE ME UP, I see Steve Perry singing and he's kicking ass, it has to be a dream because it's been way too long.
Harry Balls It's reality... and incredibly awesome... what a blessing to live in a world with Steve Perry on it!!
Harry Balls Wake up and listen to real music. Yessss!!! SP is back! And I'm quite as happy as you are!
The man is 69 years old and can still sing like this!?!?! AMAZING!!
69 years young. 😊
If u didnt know Steve Perry is in his 70s, u wld think its the voice of a young man. Just close your eyes n listen to the purity of his voice.❤
The master's voice.The best.period.
YES!!! A real singer backed by real instruments. Pay attention kids, this is how it is done.
Right, and no "auto-tune" , the man has a real voice.....
Amen!!!
no one uses autotune
@@seangill6381 autotune uses people
You said it! Pure talent and a God-given gift!
HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh how we have waited for you!!!!!! I love you, I have since I was 16 in 1981!!!!!! Dreams can come true!!! I am a 1 year cancer survivor and this made it all worth it!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great that you get this enjoyment again, Debbie!!! I was 17 in 1978 when I first heard that incredible voice. Congrats on your ONE YEAR!!!!!!!!! Yup, Stevie's voice can make the worst in life seem bearable....don't I know, 1978..79..all the awful 80s...now I am so old and so happy to drown out the awful with my dear SP Voice...amazing how one voice can let me fly away. Thanks, Steve Perry and all the best to you, Debbie Fay :)
Debbie-I'm glad he's back too, but more importantly, continue to kick cancer's arse!
Yes that voice ! That era gosh
God Bless you❣😇🦋💖

Hello Susan,
how're you doing?
Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you.
Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you!
It's nice meeting you here.
Steve Perry is the Best Singer
I first heard this incredible voice when I was 15 years old in 1980. I was visiting the US and my cousin introduced me to the Departure album. I went nuts! I knew it was a rocking Sam Cooke. My Dad (an Irishman born in the 1920s and a GREAT musician) had introduced me to Sam Cooke when I was a baby. I got on the phone with Dad that night. He was in Ireland. I played Steve Perry's voice for him over that bad phone line. Daddy went nuts and couldn't wait for me to get back and hear the album. When I got back to Ireland, Daddy had soundproofed my room so we could play the album really loud, learn the tracks and I could sing them. We spent the rest of the summer doing just that, in Heaven! Unfortunately, that October, Daddy died suddenly.
I've never stopped LOVING this voice ever since. It has influenced my singing and my life. It has comforted me in times of great sorrow. To me, there is NO greater singer in the world. From the unique diction, the placement of notes to bring emotion, and the sheer musical intelligence -- it's just mind blowing. I always hoped he'd make some more music. I'm so sorry he had to lose the love of his life in order to get his love of music back. But, I am sure she is very very proud.
I doubt he is actually going to read all these comments, but I sure hope his people tell him just how much he is loved and just how much this means to all of us who have waited so long to hear him again. I've been floating on air now for 3 days listening to this. I just can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
You know, I was diagnosed with a non-cancerous brain tumour that almost killed me almost 3 years ago now. Now I know why I had to survive it. God knew he couldn't take me to Heaven with Steve Perry releasing a new album! I'd have been terrible to deal with! And Steve has given me back my love of music which I lost at some point last year.
Steve, we love you. Thank you. This is awesome. Keep them coming! It's like seeing an old friend you thought you lost years ago and when you do, that friendship is even better.
SamsaraTheSinger
Wow Ty for that deep heart felt story
My dad was a Greek immigrant wasn't into American music but he loved America & Greece
Also his family
He died back in Feb 18
I do love all genre's of music & Steve Perry has such a unique voice
I loved ur story TY
Priceless!
praying for u, God bless
Loved your story. So sorry you lost your dad so soon. I just lost my Mama in 2013, and I can say, if it had happened when I was a teenager, I wouldn't have made it. I'm now 47, still miss Mama but I know she is in Heaven with all my other family. I will see her again so the sadness doesn't last very long.
Your story is beautiful.
Sounds better and better with each listen.. People need to get over the fact that this is not the 80's anymore.. The man is 69.. Tell me who sounds this amazing at 69? This song is on repeat!
Rob Halford is in that range and can sing circles around most guys half his age... just sayin
@@TheMetalGreg OK.. Silent Screams has to be one of my favorite metal songs ever.. I'll give you that one
Gotta give Mickey Thomas some love too. But yeah that harmony is still amaze balls. Imagine this tune in the Infinity era. That's time. It is what it is because of when it is.. Mucho impressed.
Steel Panther rocks dude
And look how good he looks for 69. Gee wiz. If he had his long hair from the earlier days he hardly changed.
Steve Perry still has the pipes, one of the best rock singers of all time.
Go to the Kennedy Center Honors and at the bottom of the page, you can vote for him and give him the recognition he deserves!!!
Hey Stephen I love you adore you and I can only m************ wish you the most f****** happiness and the Peace of mother f****** mind that we Both Deserve I love you baby I'm going to do my own f****** path which is pretty f****** scary but I can only help that your path is so much healthier and happier than mine God bless you my dear heart Rosemary Johnson

Me, I've listened to this song at least half a dozen times a day since it came out and it chokes me up everytime.
How many people love this song? 5 Million Views. Don’t stop singing Steve Perry. We’ve missed you. :-)
I missed you too ❤
Steve is amazing and timeless. Without him Journey will never be anything more than a tribute band ever.
😂😂❤ I AM 73 AND STILL IN LOVE WITH STEVE PERRY AND JOURNEY ❤😊
@@steveperry2364 LOVE YOU LOTS!!

Refreshing to hear those pipes again...Welcome back Steve, we've missed you.
I already know all the words! I have missed him so much!
Faith in music: RESTORED!
Steve Perry was Journey for me, and his vocals then and now are simply amazing. As soon as you hear his voice you know who it is. So glad that he’s making a comeback and giving his fans what we all knew from the beginning that he’s truly got a special gift.
Hello Bell how are you doing today
He made journey he might have the lead singer
Steve Perry, I pray for your soul & salvation. I am a Christians Musician and Songwriter. Your still one of my favorite lead Singers. I loved how you put this song and band together. Look up John 14:6. Victor
🙏
My father, my best friend died on July 20th. I'm staggered and alone! Been crying since.......
Then this magician of a singer makes me smile again on his return.....
The tone, the rasp, the pitch, THE VOICE!!
😢
Very sorry for your loss 🙏
So sorry to hear that. Take care and love from Bonnie Scotland x
Be Strong !! You are an angel
My mom died on the morning of July 4th 2013 and it still hurts a lot.Esp. a holiday is hard to forget.Time will pass till it gets easier!One day soon you will think of memories and everything good bout that person that made you happy or laugh at things they said.For me the smell of food,desserts makes me think of my mom and grandmothers too.They all love to cook and bake.Things are strange like that.Hope you can get some comfort in ways you never expect!Good luck and peace in your life!
I just can't believe we are hearing Steve Perry again. It's a true gift that we should all appreciate. Real Musical Talent.
Right there with you, brother. His voice taking me back when I was younger, coming of age.
So happy to see you again! You are the poster boy for “70 is the New 50”!
I cannot imagine a world without Steve Perry.
Welcome back, Steve. Show these kids how it's done.
70 years old and still has the voice. amazing.
70 years old!??? What!??He looks like he’s in his early 40’s. Amazing! That long break did him well.
It's called plastic surgery and hair dye. Pretty obvious.
@@PukaHeadMan Yes he was 40, no more then 30 years ago.
He's the most amazing man alive. ❤
@@Angel-rq3pi SERIOUSLY?????? He's aging with GRACE. Plastic surgery MY ASS. You tell me who doesn't add color to their hair to hide gray? He's IN THE PUBLIC SPOTLIGHT. You're just JEALOUS.
Been listening 42 years still never got tired of that amazing voice!
Hello Sheryl,
how're you doing?
Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you.
Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you!
It's nice meeting you here.
Well said..he is awesomeness
It's as if he took himself back to that special time in his life....He is so passionate...and I love that about him.
Hello,how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
I. Am. Beside. Myself!!! Cryinggggg. Sooooo happy!!!!! Omg. This is such a weird AWESOME feeling. Like an old friend, reunited after so many years. My heart is so full. How the heck am I going to sleep tonight?! Such a whirlwind day! Thank you STEVE!! I LOVE YOU so very much!!!
jodie johnson: I hear ya.
jodie johnson its almost 6 am and im still awake listening
Yeah I've had it on repeat, fell asleep to it! Haha. It's so difficult to focus at work today! Lol
exactly...well said!
I am SO with you. I feel the same way!
This is proof that he was journey... In every note, word and chord... This man is a one in a billion in music...
bastian urrutia A big part of journey but neal schon was just as important.
Apparently, you haven't listened to the 3 albums Journey made before Perry or the 4 after him. All of it is high quality music. Journey is a team effort. The real core of the band is Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain; in the beginning, it was Schon and Greg Rolie. And let's not forget bassist Ross Valory and the 2 fantastic drummers, Aynsley Dunbar and Steve Smith. I get tired of people ignorantly putting Perry on this pedestal like he created the band and wrote all the songs. Cain had written "Don't Stop Believin'" before he joined the band.
No, Cain had started it, but Perry had a lot of input. Perry had two songs from this album that charted, Journey with their most recent album Freedom had 0.
@@marcromanow2398 Actually, all Jonathan Cain had was the words "Don't stop believing, hold onto that feeling" that his father said to him. And Cain wasn't even brought on board until Escape. Steve Perry made Journey.
One of the greatest singers of all time 🤘👌
His voice still flies with the Seraphim angels. ❤️
Hello Emily how are you doing today
Maybe? I see a video of him sitting in his personal studio at his home and he was wearing a tee shirt that said hell fire club on it , with a pic of the devil with 😈 horns. There is such a club called hell fire club, skull and bones , bohemian grove, and many others... I hope he burns that tee shirt. And travels with the angels instead.
As a man, it's hard to admit tears are running down my face right now. Hearing Steve and hearing this song is like a longtime friend that has returned. I'm in my mid 50's and this world is changing faster and in ways that I don't always care for. I know I sound like a cliche but it'll happen to you too. I don't understand why things are the way they are now. The world of my youth seems so far away... the United States is starting to be unrecognizable to me anymore. Hearing this song is like taking a walk down a long country road. It's like holding hands with my fiance at the Country Fair. There's something pure about it. Something right.
YOU ROCK!!!
Right there with you, bud...This was great!
I can relate so much what you said I talk about everything happened in the 90's or early 2000-2005 going to be 50 6 months. I'm the oldest of all my co-workers IT is all young people I talk to them about 90's they laugh say they were in high school. It's like our world is frozen in time in our minds I wonder if when I die I can go back to the world I lived in when I was in my 20's. I keep saying well at least I'm not 60, 70, or 80 that will come so fast one day wake up be 80 years old wonder what the hell happend.
Right there with you, Brother...The man who was the soundtrack for my life has returned.
Slappy McSlapster 😪.....yes
There is no erasin' Steve Perry from the world of music.
I loved his VOICE period ! High notes are secondary to a true LEGEND . When he dies, like Vandross and so many others, there will NEVER be another Steve . I don't care how many so-called "sound-a-likes" you search for .
My wife and I of 45 years saw you at the fabulous forum in 1979 and of course on MYV! We moved to Washington state in august of 1983 and saw journey at the tacoma dome 3 nights later with Bryan Adams! I’m glad your back!! Since then we have had 4 kids, 12 grandchildren and 2 great grandkids! It’s been a fantastic family life! Can’t wait for you to come to Washington so I can take my family to show them what real music is like! God bless you Mr. Steve Perry! Stay safe!
“I would not come back to it now unless I could be absolutely emotionally honest about the music,” Perry explains. “I’m not trying to top what I’ve done in the past, or better anyone or anything. That stuff doesn’t matter to me now. In a way, it’s this simple: when I had something to say again, I said it. All I’m trying to do now is make music that really matters to me and I hope maybe will really matter to other people too.”. S.P.
Love it . One of the greatest voices of music history. Glad your back where you belong. Love new song but please add a few Journey songs to the set list. The diehards Journey fans like myself would be grateful.
thank u
Carlos Robles It matters to me too! I'm SO excited, to hear Steve sing again. Your voice sounds great, I'm looking forward to your album. Thanks for sharing your music with us again. God Bless!
I write music too and that is my motto.
Oh my goodness.. it is as if the phone rings and you pick up just to hear the love of your life from teenage years saying 'how are you'
From the bottom of my heart thank you, Steve, I missed you SO much!!
ANGELA MARSON must suck to be this bitter.
ANGELA MARSON i dont care about his PRIVATE life. Thats his business not mine. Surely youre not a saint either. I missed his voice, his talent and the feeling of happiness his music creates in my heart.
If you have nothing nice to say, be quiet
Angela, many miserable trolls , gotta pity them or pray for them. I'm just as happy as you are. :)
SingleMumsLife ... She is writing like that one stupid child who still sits in time out for the last stupid thing she said and did. Don't bother with her.
SingleMumsLife ... Yesssss! Ohhhhhh I'm so happy to hear his voice again.
This music is so underrated...He's on his own....No Journey...He's better off!
It is 2023 and I hope he does one more album I liked him when he was younger but I like him better now. Love the maturity of his voice and selection of song choices.
I’m 18 and have never been born when Steve Perry released an album. Now I can be apart of this amazing “ Journey” 👌🙌🏽
Pick up the Houston concert DVD srsly "Mother, Father" track will blow your mind
Welcome to our world!
And now your journey into real music begins!
twilitetide you absolutely nailed it
Awesome!!! :-)
Steve, I'm only 25 years old. I never really got a chance to watch you perform. I dreamed of you coming back someday. And now, I finally get the chance. You will be played at my wedding on October 6th, the day after you release your album. Thank you for inspiring me to become a singer, thank you for coming back, thank you for giving me the chance to rock out to your new music I was born in. Can't wait!!!! :)
I saw him perform in the 80s, and he was a hellva singer
MtnDewMyPikachu I'll sing his entire catalog live for your wedding, lol. I know everything he ever did. :)
Without Steve Perry, no would have ever heard of some band called Journey.
My wedding was last Oct 6th and I've been playing, singing and loving Steve's music (with and without Journey) since I was a teenager in the 80s. There is literally nobody like SP which is evident by the outpouring of love and support you're seeing on this message board. I hope the CD/tracks actually SELL and he tours ASAP!! Welcome back Steve, and THANK YOU!!
My wedding was last year on October 6th! Wowwwwww and I played Journey with Steve Perry also! Awesome 👏🏼
I didn't know what to say so I scrolled through the comments..
Thank You fans Of Steve Perry because you all said everything I couldn't..Love to All !!
And Especially to You Mr.Perry !!
Welcome Back!!
We All Missed You !!
I’m 64 this year 2023 all I have carried in my truck for years now is the journeys greatest hits. I love it I wear them out.
The legendary voice is still there. Don't stop man.

Thank you God! It’s about time. He’s still got it. The greatest rock and roll singer of all time!
A promise rightfully kept... Respect to the Huge Artist... "The Voice", once upon our time...
HE STILL HAS IT! WOO HOO!!! GO FOR IT PERRY!!!!!!
If anyone says steve sounds bad or the song is bad doesn't even know him. We grew up with his music. The youngings don't have a clue what a good singer/songwriter is. They are clueless. Steve sounds amazing as if he never went away. He's back folks! The voice is back!
Yea... I'm 20 and I love his music. Pretty sure age has nothing to do with it. The Era in which you were raised in has everything to do with it.
Patrick Larry: Sorry to disappoint you, but the song is mediocre and his voice isn't what it was. And yes, I know and love Journey… I was in high school when "Infinity" was released and I wore it out.
I'm really not hatin'… I hope some of the other stuff he comes out with impresses me the way it seems to have many others.
@@b-radg916 his new album has 15 songs. I'm sure at least one will satisfy your douchy ass..
Patrick Larry it's a pure voice that does not need help like the singers of today
@@b-radg916 I actually agree with you, I'm on top of the line singer myself I've been singing for a long time and I love the original Journey don't get me wrong I think he still has the potential his voice sounds like he has a cold, he sounds like maybe he wasn't in the top shape that he could be there's tons of older singers, there in these rock bands with her it's Aerosmith or others who have kept their voice and pretty Tip-Top shape and have still sounds still sounds good today as it did back then there's a lot of it older singers to do I don't know what Steve is gone through, I heard that he went through some vocal issues with his chords vocal cords and some problems I don't know maybe that's what happened, so that could be but he doesn't sound like he doesn't sound his voice but I put it from 1 to 10 I put it as a v i color average I don't look at this as a very that great of a song it is pretty Joker I agree with you I'm going to call it an average song just average not terrible but I feel like hopefully I agree it's not hating at all it's actually being honest I'm totally in agreement with you it's very mediocre for his style I think that he probably haven't heard anything else off the album maybe there's some other stuff on the album that's probably a lot better I better cut better style Better Sound and hopefully his vocals sound better on the rest of the songs he can still sing I still love his music but we'll see we'll see what happens with the rest of the album he's got to have something better
Aretha just passed and Steve releases a new album in such a long long time. One door closes the other one opens. Thank you Steve!!!
K P my god I said the same thing and I'm black grew up listening to journey and Steve Perry.s he can rest Steve is back to carry the torch again.
Gilbert Conner yes! She can rest. Steve will take care of everything!!!
Perfectly said!!!
K P dang...you nailed it. Wow.
Lots of people throw the term around but Steve is truly the GOAT.
SO SO SO GREAT TO HEAR THE GREAT STEVE PERRY SINGING AGAIN. BIG BIGEST FAN
As a former vocalist from the 80's, I have an absolute man crush on Steve. I absolutely love this man's voice and mannerisms.
Love this 💜❤
Are you my brother?
@@jwb2020jwb your brother is gay for Steve Perry
Like fine wine
If you are viewing this, you are most likely a longtime fan of Perry and his work with Journey as well as solo projects. I have heard some talk bout the change in his voice. I have been a touring keyboard player for over 2 decades, and have played with some of the most iconic figures in music. I’m not saying this to brag, what I AM saying is that his voice has held up amazingly well. When you have one of if not THE most recognizable sound of a generation, it is inevitable that you will be compared to your earlier recordings. Especially when those recordings are among the most classic songs of the period. It is unfair to hold Steve up to that standard. We don’t criticize athletes for losing a step or two in their later years, we don’t harshly criticize writers and producers of both music and movies/TV because they don’t consistently release content that stands up to their most popular and artistically significant works. So it saddens me to hear and read comments about Steve not sounding the same as he did 30 years ago. I believe that the essence of his sound has not changed. I believe that what makes him the greatest of a generation is his ability to emote, phrase, interpret, write, and perform from his soul. This IS Steve Perry, and it is every bit as good as any of us could have hoped for. I thank him, his musicians, producers, writers, etc for releasing this wonderful new music. It is so wonderful to have Steve back in our lives. An old friend has returned home after a long absence, and we need to embrace and welcome him home. Thanks Steve!!! You are, and will always be one of a kind. I hope someday to shake your hand, and maybe even play a song or two with you. GOD bless you, and I am hopeful that your return to music fills your life with the joy that it once did. It surely has brought much joy to the rest of us.
What he said...
But, this is the "fake" Steve Perry! The real Steve Perry stated his name on the Johnny Carson show in the 70's and, this is not that person and defrauding you, and the Public.
could not agree more.....I quit playing for quite a few years, then picked it back up....kinda like riding a bicycle.....but practice, practice, practice....he sounds just fucking fine to me (if you are 69 years old, and can sing this good, C'MON....show us whatcha got)....I certainly hope he don't over-do it....but damned glad to see he's still got it.....and as far as comparing him to the stuff of 30+ years ago, old boy is correct....even the retired NFL/MLB/NBA folks lose a step or two later in life....but it is Steve Perry.....was not a big journey fan in high school....but over the years, have gotten to like them.....and some of their not-so-well-known tunes....did not know Neal Schon was such a shredder (HSAS), but he ain't bad at all....WELCOME HOME STEVE!!!!
Dkeys88 Amen to all you said. I believe his writing and arranging are better than ever now. I love his use of other vocalists in the harmony parts, taking lower harmonies for himself. Just sounds amazing!
Dkeys88 well said
I am 52 and started listening to Journey when I was very young. I couldn't get enough of Steve Perry. His voice, his words, are just incredible. He will always make me smile. Thank you for all the years of amazing music, you are a legend!!
Thanks for your love and support❤
Where are you streaming from heather?
You are amazing.
Have been a huge fan since late 70’s from East Coast to Chicago…..A daughter of Portuguese parents and a first responder who keeps your music with me always in good and bad times. Always an amazing voice with Angel eyes…. You fill our hearts with pure joy. Thank You so much Steve….Long time crush on you that will never end!!!!
Holy shit!!!!!!!! I'm crying again!!!! Pure Joy!!! My heart is getting so full! Thank you so much Steve! You really are the best!!!! The best of everything!♥️🎵🎤💙
What she said!!!!
Me too
Omg. I'M STILL IN LOVE.WILL NEVER LOSE THE LOVE I HAVE FOR THIS MAN HIS VOICE AND HIS LOVE FOR MUSIC. HE CAME BACK TO US FANS. YES HE DID IT FOR US. SO GLAD YOUR BACK. THANK YOU STEVE😚😚😚😚
me three, wiping my tears away
So good. He sure can still sing
I'm a jaded composer musician that's heard it all! I wept when I saw and heard this! One of my first inspirations as child has returned! The song is wonderful and it brings back many wonderful memories. He one of the most important voices of my generation. God bless you Steve for coming back. I really just assumed that you had completely retired from music! Again God bless, may you have wonderful success with this album!
You summed up my feelings perfectly. I was in the music business for many years and as a kid just learning Steve and Journey were one of my biggest influences. I honestly didn't think he would do another record but here we are. He is saying he plans on doing some live shows as well so hopefully I will be able to see him live once again.
legasiguy you scared me I thought you're going to say something bad thank you
Lots of beautiful comments!
Hahaha! No worries. My point was that Steve brought me to tears of joy with this song, even a guy like I that's heard a lot of music in my day.
That would be another incredible thing. Right now I'm just happy that he put out an album and did a music video (with him performing to boot!) so if he did even a small tour with and publish a highlight video, that would be a bonus!
75 yrs old and Rocking better than any out there today!! WTG STEVO!!
Thank you for being an amazing fan jean
would like to talk more better, the first

My dear Steve, thank you! My good medicine I need for my heart and soul any day everyday! His songs literally helped me to survive after a serious loss in my life. This is a true power of true music that resurrect me❤❤❤
NOBODY PUTS STEVE PERRY IN A CORNER. NOT EVEN JOURNEY.
Salm9emrnbeno..
Absolutely . You are right there.
Fuck off "journey"
@@mathewraphel6001 Steve was the one to leave Journey
@@bananasaur5209 They ditched him because they're greedy!
I missed you. My daughters grew up on your records. We used to play them on vinyl in the kitchen, me drinking coffee and the kids dancing. Now we get another chance to dance, once again. Thank you Steve- - Chris, Liz and Vendelin from Sweden
Adorei totalmente D mais boa sorte Q Deus abençoe você
Steve please continue to bless the world with your music.
You are not replaceable. Never could erase your voice. My dads band did original songs, but some covers too... I fell in love with your voice when I was 4 years old. My dad sings amazing and can play every instrument, but he's no Steve Perry, nobody is. Open arms was our first dance together at our 💒 wedding. Seperate Way's our 2nd... We are highschool sweethearts who went our own way for 3 years when were both accepted to different colleges far apart. We agreed to let each other explore during this period also agreed to not discuss our freedom years. I was working on an 8 year doctorates degree. He finished a 4 year BA degree in 3 years. He came running to propose to me. We both knew we belonged together forever after our 3 year break. We remained best friends while so far apart and saw each other every winter break when we would go home to be with our families for the holidays. We both kept journals while seperated, turns out, we both dated 2 other people for a few months each throughout the 3 years. Neither one of us found anyone else who made us feel the way we made each other feeling. We just celebrated our 22nd anniversary of marriage. Thank you, your songs tell our story, whilst describing our relationship and deep love we share. I know how cliche this sounds. It sounds like a Hallmark or Lifetime original movie, but It's all true.😄😀😍❤
We both send our love and best wishes to you, Mr StevePerry and family...
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
I think I've listened/watched now about 1,000 times. Does anyone else go through this? At first, it seems like a simple happy song, but there's sooo much more. My anticipation is the same each time with the intro. I know what's coming and I can't wait for his voice. Then, when he finally starts singing, each and every time, my eyes well up and a tear rolls down my cheek. My old friend -- that voice. My favourite singer of all time. I hear that voice and I feel like I'm 15, 20, 25, 29, 35, 40, 45 and then, finally, I'm 53 and hearing this in the present! I'm transported back in time to all the good times of my life. I experience all those times again. Ironically, "No Erasin"" erases all the bad times and life is soooo good again.
By the time I get to him singing "Our love just won't let go," I'm smiling ear to ear, laughing, dancing in my chair, throwing up my arms, clicking my fingers. My hands are in front of me praying. My joy is just soooo high. YES "I felt this once before" well, many times, but they all came back. When he transitions into the bridge, I'm taken somewhere else entirely. I'm lost in the song now. I can't get enough. "My soul's burnin'" too. I've never felt happier. As I transition to the outro, I'm soooo happy. "I told you of my love today." I want to scream that!
But that's actually just the surface of the emotions I get as a fan-girl. There's so much more I think of in the way he sings, his technique. I'm a singer -- not in his league, of course. But I've tried to sing along, learned the lyrics and even the keys. The complexity of the way he sings this (just as he sings every song) is hidden until you try to do it. Every single note, he conveys so much emotion, how he places his notes. Front of the mouth, further back, how he modulates his vowels, his diction. I could talk about his style for a week or more because it has always fascinated me! That has always been, for me, the incredible brilliance of his musical intelligence. He always knows how to place those notes, for maximum emotion as you hear it, to "dig" right into your soul. Every singer wants to do this, but most can't. It's so natural for him, so easy. OMG how I missed his voice!
I have listened and listened. My heart is overjoyed. Have the song on repeat.
Im 54 and I stand by everything you said. I feel so blessed to have been born when I was, and you too. We have seen and heard Steve Perry, back in the day with Journey and his solo albums and have lived to see this monumental day of Steve's return! Oh what a joyful time to be living and to have lived!!!
SamsaraTheSinger I get it too! I've always felt the majority of his fans, although they love his voice, just really underestimate his God given talent. He's truly amazing. So, so so glad he's back ❤
Ah, YES! Beautiful truth here.
He is the most naturally brilliant gifted singer ever. He doesn't have to think how to place his voice. He just connects to his soul and leaves the rest of it relaxed. That is the trick. To access the soul without getting in the way and that is the genius of his gift. But there is a catch you have to be insanely brave and deeply honest to do that. He is all that and more. Steve is God's gift to the world much like Princess Diana and is loved by many.
Oh God Steve, please don't ever leave us again. I too, have tears running down my face. This man has been so missed. I don't care if he can't hit the high notes
he's over 70 for crying out loud. I, for one, am just so very glad he's back!! We love you Steve!!
He's over 70?. Omg he sounds fabulous. It was painful when he quit journey (for me) but he did the right thing and got healthy . LOVE HIM!
@@teresapayne7761 He didn't quit the band, they just moved on from him while he was deciding on if he should get hip replacement surgery
Love thi
👏👏
Siempre Steve , una voz genial que mucho tiempo se apagó,pero gracias por volver.Exelente

I just want you to know how special. Your voice is the voice of angels and your heart is just as beautiful. God Bless you always, your Texas fan forever! Vickie
@@vickiebunch3072 Thank you for being an amazing fan Pam.
I decided to take out some free time and put smiles on the faces of my fans by going through and checking out on my fans, showing love and appreciation and also get to communicate with my fans better through discussions.
@@steveperry6798 I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU! YOU MADE MY CENTURY FOR REPLYING!

I HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU ARE HAPPY AND BLESSED EVERY DAY! VICKIE
DEAREST STEVE, IT SEEMS ANY SHOW THAT I WATCH THESE DAYS HAS A JOURNEY SONG IN IT, TAKING ME BACK TO WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND MY CRUSH ON YOU WAS NEW AND YOUR VOICE THRILLED ME OVER AND OVER. NO ONE EVER COULD REPLACE YOU THOUGH SOME HAVE TRIED, CANT BE DONE! YOUR FANS KNOW IT, WE ALL DO. THANKS FOR SHARING YOURSELF AND YOUR AMAZING VOICE WITH US MORTALS! MERRY CHRISTMAS, YOU SWEET MAN!
I absolutely love this song and I love Steve Perry. His voice was and is the best! I could listen to him all day long, no matter what he sang!
Hello Paula how are you doing today
Still the most powerful voice in rock!! We welcome you back with open arms Steve Perry!!💖🌟
Yes we certainly do. :-)))
So glad Steve Perry is back I have missed him.
😍 I see what you did there lol
Steve Perry's voice is about as important to rock music as Michael Jordan was to basketball. Perry's vocal prowess has set the bar by which all other rock vocalists have been measured by, and they all have invariably come up short. So given that I hold Perry's voice in the highest regard, you can imagine my surprise and euphoria when I saw this new song by Steve Perry on my UA-cam feed. For me, after years of not hearing Perry's vocal work on any new material, to hear this new song was like experiencing the second coming of a musical messiah. Yes, Mr. Perry, please come and rescue us from the musical mediocrity that is today's music! Thank you for returning!
YES, you said it so well Drake!
That ain't rock and roll what Journey does ain't rock and roll it's pop Steve's voice is gone he sounds like an old woman but I do like the old Journey songs anyway from the late 70s and 80s I can't believe his voice has deteriorated that's what happens when you don't use it for 10-15 years it don't work no more he had troubles like a lot of people do and it affected his life there's no good guys there's no bad guys things just happen
thomas Rose
It’s better to be thought of as an idiot, than to confirm it.
Sorry, but I don't think you know a lot about singing and the voice. Does it "deteriorate" over time? It ages. Men over the age of 35 lose range. Women do, as well, That's just life. I sing, but can't hit those notes I did in the 80s. I got old. Didn't you? What we build in our voices is character. Steve Perry built that and I could honestly listen to him sing the yellow pages because of that. It's not about using or not using. It's about musical intelligence and then, work to get the range back. And you have NO idea how much work that takes obviously. When you're a singer, your instrument is yourself. What did you eat, drink, think? It all figures into the way your voice sounds. Steve Perry is 69. I'm 53 and female and tried to sing along and struggled. He's still completely amazing to me.
Yes i agree he is the Jordan of music
I am utterly and totally in love with this man...and his voice...STILL! 😍😍😍😍😍 I must hear him sing live! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
He has such a beautiful voice.
He doesn’t look and sound like a 70 year old... Amazing voice.. God has blessed him with this comeback..
He looks like a 50 years old and sounds like a 40 years old.
@Joe Kinchicken I saw your comments elsewhere too about his dentures. Who cares? Why are you even here with your negativity? His fans are happy he's back!
@Joe Kinchicken you're ignorant!
🤩🎼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥
This is a hilarious chat 😂
Like getting to spend time with an old friend you have been missing for years❤️. His voice was the soundtrack to my youth 🎤 🎵
Oh yes indeed!
Mine too
Add me to the list! He Looks great and SOUNDS GREAT! Those were the days. So grateful for the music and memories he has given us.
I was born in 99 and I just have found out about him. Saw him the first time in „we are the world“ and i fell in love 😍 the singers of older generations are just built different. Pure talent
If there ever was a man on this Earth that was absolutely born to sing, it is our one and only Steve Perry.
Everyone loves you Mr. Steve Perry.
You've still got the ability to touch us with your unbelievable voice.
Your new album is greatness. So crisp and professional and pristine. The band members are awesome also. They must be in disbelief that they are playing with a true legend and the most perfect singer in history.
too signso sweetly one has had to know great joy and great heartbreak. The is our one and only Steve Perry. One thing: really miss the hair Steve.
I was hoping one day I would hear you again! Great song! Awesome lyrics, Thanks Steve!
@Stork Legs THERE IS NO VOICE AS GOOD AS STEVE PERRY
@Stork Legs I DISAGREE... HE IS EVEN BETTER WITH AGE TO ME ;)
@Stork Legs THE EARTH IS FLAT ..
"The Voice" is back!!!!
L Rod Better tell Him to find it then. He can't sing anymore.
lamchaos13 His voice has just aged, so there's a little strain. Tenor octaves at 69 years of age is amazing lol
Iamchaos13 a big ole fuck you to you.
MR. PERRY - Am from the SF Bay Area. Grew up on your music and your PHENOMENAL voice which is one of the greatest voices in recorded music - of any genre. You represented Cali so VERY well!
We are blessed again. All the other talent in this business would be equal to Steve's pinkie. This guy is a phenom. At this age, to sing like he does is testament to his genius prowess.
For all the haters that are saying his voice is shot, dude is almost 70 and sounds better than 90 percent of the crap that is out today. I can only hope that I look as good and have that much energy at 69.
He's just real. Steve Perry is real with his voice and everything.
MICKLUVR wow he looks 55, love him still, he still rocks❤👌😁
MICKLUVR amen brother!!!
Amen
That VOICE!! That incredible, beautiful, magnificent VOICE. There is only one Steve Perry!!
And always will be
Please stop with the age comments!, he’s healthy and can still belt it out no one can match him!!!🎤🎶
I feel like hes come full circle . Always a beautiful voice
Hello,how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
MY LORD !!!! The voice that never disappoints !! After All these years !!!! Speechless ! I feel young again 💫
He still sounds amazing
I stupid cried today. A lot. And I have no shame in saying that. Welcome back, Steve. We missed you.
Chad Creighton , not stupid bro. Steve's voice is amazing. I saw Journey back in 1980 and was blown away. Saw them many more times and missed them when they finally stopped touring. Saw them with the current singer and wasn't impressed. Steve is the only one to sing Journey songs.
Fruit
My wife nearly said something similar, lol.
I have so many things to say!! The first is thank you so much Steve for letting us enjoy another one of your songs because I’ve listened to the rest of them over and over again my entire life and it’s exciting to have something new of yours to listen to!! I understand you need to be out of the limelight for a while and spend time with your family and move on in life but I’m so glad you came back to share your amazing talents with us.. The second thing is if you actually read this I know you are a humble person but I want you to know you were hands-down my favorite male rock vocalist of all time and that includes some amazing singers like Dennis DeYoung Tommy Shaw Rod Stewart Sammy Hagar etc. you just have the purest most unique sound that is instantly recognizable and enjoyable.. The last thing I want to say is for those of you musicians who got to be a part of this I hope that it is the highlight of your careers because you just rocked with the greatest of all time in my opinion!! As my good friend Forrest Gump would say “ that’s all I got to say about that! “
Fabulous song, Steve. The lyrics of this song go so very deep. He’s singing about more than what you’d think!!🎶🎤♥️🎶
am glad to hear you say that, know that I appreciate you too dear..
I recently decided to connect with my fans, to know how some of you are doing, how you feel about me and my music precisely…
I will like you to talk more with you on WhatsApp, do you know what that is dear?
The voice.always the best
We're all here for the same reason. Missed you !
I had the pleasure of co-writing "Stand Up Before It's Too Late" and playing bass on Steve's "For The Love of Strange Medicine" Album along with the Late Great Mike Porcaro. He's such a great human being and it's so awesome to see him back where he belongs... Singing and making his millions of fans happy!!!
What?? Damn, I love those songs. Thank you for that.
Whoa!! That must have been amazing!
@@AllysonYates Yes, it was quite an experience! Steve is a very private man, but he's also very warm, funny and of course, talented!
@@bearwilliams9226 He's one of, if not THE best!
Awesome, thank you for sharing
Steve Perry is my favorite singer of all times his voice is one of a kind and I will never get sick of this voice!!!!!!!!!!! I love you Steve!!!!
Great song Steve still has it I love the song but voice is amazing We as fans get the young Steve Perry voice mixed with a hint of raspiness Steve Perry is an incredible performer with an incredible voice I would pay anything to see Him perform The song No Erasin fantastic My personal opinion like a fine wine it gets better with age love ya Steve come on back
