    In the fall of 2018, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Steve Perry made his long-awaited return with the release of "Traces", the legendary musician’s first new album in 25 years. The album’s personal expression of love, inspiration and renewal resonated with both critics and fans around the world, thrilled to have their ‘voice of a generation’ making new music once again.
    Now, on "Traces (Alternative Versions & Sketches)", Perry revisits several of his favorite tracks, stripping away the grand production touches, taking the songs down to their essence. Presented acoustic and raw, (including some in sketch form) tracks like “Sun Shines Gray,” “No Erasin’,” “No More Cryin’,” and “Most Of All” take on new and richer meaning. In this setting, Perry’s iconic soulful voice glides out-front vibrant, clear and warm while the lyrics take on greater significance as well, even more intimate than before.

    Lyrics:
    Even though
    Our love was lost somehow, some way I know
    In my heart
    We'll love again and won't let go
    Every night
    I try, I try so hard to let you know
    Though you're gone
    Our love won't be lost
    Lost in your loving arms
    It's gone away
    Sun shines gray
    The sun shines gray
    The winds of your memories
    Have gone away
    The sun shines gray
    The sun shines gray
    How I see
    How much was lost along this lonely road
    In this life
    We only give as much as we can show
    Do you know
    What you want before you go?
    Lost in your loving arms
    It's gone away
    The sun shines gray
    The sun shines gray
    The winds of your memories
    Have gone away
    The sun shines gray
    The sun shines gray
    I really wanna love you
    Want to, want to
    Lost in your loving arms
    It's gone away
    The sun shines gray
    The sun shines gray
    The winds of your memories
    Have gone away
    The sun shines gray
    The sun shines gray
    I really wanna love you
    The sun shines gray
    Want to

    Much like a classic car, your voice has a beautiful patina that only age can provide. The acoustic versions highlight your abundant vocal abilities.

    This is super cool. Thanks for doing this. The acoustic guitar sounds wonderful. There is a lot more focus on vocals and it adds to the songs...it makes them more personal.

      Gary, This is by far my favorite song of the new album traces. I do also love this acoustic version as well. It shows off how good of a singer Steve Perry still really is. I am

      Also I would be honored and grateful if you would check out my original song Runaway. I don’t try to sound like anyone but this is one song that was heavily influence by my love for journey.

    I'm listening to this again and remembering when I lost my " most of all..." I'd walk through the days full of sun shining grey... see people smiling and living life and I was screaming inside, how can you be happy?! It was like being on the outside looking in, the world turning and I'm standing still frozen in time...Part of the grieving process, I know, but the sun really did shine grey those days. 💔 The world keeps turning... the grey comes and goes.

    This song is an allegory. With the wildfires in California, the sun has been shining gray. Then there's the subject of love lost, especially a love for the ages. This month will be the second anniversary of my husband's passing from Parkinson's and dementia. Steve Perry is one who knows about losing a soulmate to a terrible disease. I appreciate the gift of this song, this month.
