      Also, U should react to Steve’s new stuff. He’s 73 now, but still sounds great. Here’s the link to “We’re Still Here”

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

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

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

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

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

Want to listen to Steve's fun side....listen to his duet with Kenny Loggins "Can't Fight It" and the audio "Can't Stop"! LOL Can't Stop is so fun!!! Oh also "I Believe" off Street Talk"!!! Want to hear Steve SOAR, listen to "Somewhere there's hope" off FTLOSM album. Jonathan Cain said in an interview that Steve "bled" every time he took that stage! Steve only knows how to sing with the HUGE soul God gave him. I for one am so so thankful Steve answered the purpose God put on his heart! Listen to Journey's last album with Steve "Trial by Fire". You will hear God in that album!

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

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

    He's good isn't he. Although I find John Farnham has a warmer and more powerful voice.

    I did not care for this Steve Perry song. Just a little too melancholy for me. His voice of course is lovely, but for some reason I could not find the melody in the song. The host however is outstanding and I enjoy listening to him very much. He would make an excellent Life Coach
