- You should've been gone
Knowing how I made you feel
And I should've been gone
After all your words of steel
Oh, I must've been a dreamer
And I must've been someone else
And we should've been over
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, I want to let go
You'll go on hurtin' me
You'd be better off alone
If I'm not who you thought I'd be
But you know that there's a fever
Oh, that you'll never find nowhere else
Can't you feel it burnin'
On-and-on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie
[Instrumental Interlude]
Oh, Sherrie
But I should've been gone
Long ago, far away
And you should've been gone
Now I know you'd lie
You'll stay
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Hold on
Oh, Sherrie - Розваги
My mother named me after Steve perry it was her crush, I heard their music all my life... she passed away recently and I never appreciated it and it was something dear to her. Now I listen often it reminds me of her and how much of a amazing woman and what she went threw to raise me. I miss her so much and I see her smile when I hear him sing 🙂 love you mom
So sorry you lost your mom. I lost my mom 31 years ago and my dad 3 years ago. It hurts.
That’s the great thing about music. Music will take you to a place where you can feel what you may not have now, but you will see her again!
That's beautiful. Sorry to hear about your loss but glad you have this to hold onto.
I'm sorry for your loss Stephen. May she sing with the angels my friend 😊
She's Very proud of the man you are!!
My name is Sherri and I'm listening in May 2024 while tanning on my balcony.
Don't forget the sunscreen

@@avengernemesis7990 Hello Australia. Whoop whoop. Amazing to meet you.
That opening riff gets me every time. Pure 80s gold!
1984
Same here
Ba happy you missed the sixty's, crowded in your head!
I first heard this song on the radio just after my son was born. I was driving him and my wife on that blissful morning, several hundred miles to my parents' home to see their new grandson. The song came on, and put me in such a loving and hopeful mood. I can't explain it, but the melody and the instrumentals, the chorus just blew me away. I know I'm sentimental, but I still get choked up every time I hear that song, thirty-five years later, remembering that sun-filled day.
cool story
Beautiful story thanks for sharing
Im getting choked up now
Good music is good music, periot.
🙏✝️
This song never gets old. A classic never dies.
Yes indeed!!!! Steve Perry is amazing!!!
@@danthompson5797 d.lMJ
I guess this song holds on
Steve perry is the best male vocalist to ever live!! Change my mind!!
Freddie mercury 😅
Hasta Freddy Mercury lo dijo 😅
Mike Patton
Robert Plant or Steve Perry
I never get tired of Steve Perry. Dude brings heaven to the ears.
Steve Perry has the voice of a fucking angel! 80's forever!
CAM SMITH you can say that again
Go vols
Watch your mouth
@@cherylkirby8039 Lady, this is the internet.
AMEN TO THAT!
Still one of the best male vocalists EVER
This takes me back to that perfect day in high school in the '84 Talent show. I bought the house down with my rendition.....40 years later I still live in that moment. 😊😊😊
Typical 80’s synth riff lulls you into complacency then Steve hits you with that vocal cord wrenching “you should have been gone”. Perfect.
Steve Perry could literally sing the Abc's and my spine would still tingle. His vocals are unmatched and out of this world. Simple amazing! ❤❤❤
I'm with you on that!!@
Yes for sure I listen every day I love this music takes you to a different place and time.
Well said.
Absolutely, very true. He was a pure talent .
I love his duet with Gregg Rolie on Journey's *Just the Same Way* Who's Crying Now and Stone in Love are great, too
Randomly started playing in my head this morning, glad I was able to find it again!
Te amo
No lie me too thats why im here.lol
It happens that way
🤣🤣🤣👍🍺🍺
Me too
Who's still listening in 2020 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Never stopped..
Me I love him
Love this song
Love Steve Perry. Forever! 🎵🔥
HELL YEA!! STEVE PERRY IS THE MAN!!
The glory days of 80s music.
I was 7 when this was a bumping on radio stations in the Summer of 1984, and now I'm almost 41. Damn those years fly by, and it's still a hit.
steve perry is hands down the best singer ever, no one even comes close!
I don't care how many old ppl tell me how monotonous this song was in the 80's; still awesome. This is by far my favorite Steve Perry/Journey song ever. ~
Old? lol
This is my favorite, but I'm partial to it, because my name is Sherry.
50 years ago when I was a kid I remember my opa complaining to me how monotonous my songs were. He wasn't impressed when I quoted James Last to him.
"I'm going to leave old Durham town.
I'm going to leave old Durham town.
I'm going to leave old Durham town.
And that leaving's really getting me down."
In all fairness i think I was listening to Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In but there was no need to harsh my mellow.
Monotonous? lol
I think they mean iconic
One of the best voices in rock.
2020 and I'm back. This was such a big part of my childhood❤
Forever Steve Perry! 👍🎵
Its that 80's magic 😁
Marissa Calderon mine's too! so energetic!
Mine too! I love this so much.
Same
The one and only Steve Perry, totally irreplaceable. Not by a long shot.
So many emotions in that song. Will always remember the first time I listened to this.
music as a whole started going down in the late 90's in my opinion .....
This track was awesome back in 1984 and still is today! The 80s may be gone but the music will never die.So proud I grew up back in the 80s when almost everything was awesome.Awesome Music, Awesome movies, Awesome toys, Awesome TV shows,was such an awesome time for growing up!
I still love that synth riff to death. It's so nostalgic, even if I didn't specifically grow up with this song. You hear it once, and it just stays with you.
My dad played this song all the time when I was like 5 years old. Tomorrow I'm turning 21. I get exactly what you mean by nostalgic.
Gerardo Mathus Sorry, I didn't see this for a bit. Happy belated birthday, this is a great song to reminisce on.
Gerardo Mathus
Hiroi Sekai Totally
Funny to read about that 'synth riff' because it is now used in a Toyota car commercial for only a moment. Its been on all month, and it totally bugs me that Japan would rip-off Steve like that!!
That musical intro is just pure Heaven! :-)
Oh absolutely probably the best intro I've heard
One of my mum's favourite songs of all time in the 80's, my mum got married in 84 the same year that this song was released.
Now next year is my mum's 40th wedding anniversary & now 39 years later i heard it on the radio today making the first time i heard this song & i quickly made it my favourite song since my mum loved it back in the 80's.
Man, time catches up to you so fast.
What an amazing voice
Sends chills up my spine
The opening is 10/10 honestly the best part
OMG I LOVE STEVE PERRY, HE HAS AN AMAZING VOICE!
One of the best voices in Rock and roll
He had an amazing voice
One of the best ever. Him, Freddie Mercury, Rob Halford and Ronnie James Dio.
I was born in the 90s but I absolutely love this song. Has such a good beat.
Same here
This song is about his wife named sherry
I sure I'm not the only one that grew up listening to soft rock, synth pop, hair bands and smooth jazz. What can I say I'm an 80s baby. This is my kind of music. lol
We prefer the term "arena rock." Perry's idea to make huge video screens, btw :)
Michelle M Really? I thought it was a power-ballad but whatever.
I don’t really care what you call it, I just know I like it.
ME TOO😉
My grandmother an i love 60s 70s an 80s music an i am 17
That opening synth is pure awesomeness. The whole song is pure awesomeness.
If Sherry married Steve Perry, her married name would be Sherry Perry.
I figured that out a long time ago. But it's still funny.
Never heard of the wedding singer. Who's Julia Gulia?
perry1972 Lmao hahaha
There's this character from a show named Terry Cherry Perry
Maybe that's why she never married him?
My name is.. Sherry..and love this song..thanks for singing it Steve ❤
.
"you'd be better off alone, I am not who you thought I would be"
MY favorite Line in the whole song
WHAT A VOICE....TWENTY FIVE + YEARS ON..STILL FANTASTIC......ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREATS....
This is the first song I'd ever heard from Steve Perry, and I watched the official video on Pop-Up Video over 25 years ago. That's how I discovered most of my music. The voice stunned me. Excellent singer.
Bloody love this song!
All these years I thought he was singing.. Oh Sherry, you're all alone.... Thanks for the lyrics, it makes sense now.
This song is absolutely great! It is a hit from beginning to end.
THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE VERY FIRST SOLO SONG I EVER HEARD BY STEVE AND I CRY EVERY FUCKING TIME WHEN I HEAR THIS BEAUTIFUL AMAZING SONG STEVE WROTE
One of the Best voices...
Really good drummer on this record...people are just overshadowed by Steve's brilliant voice. The whole band is gr8. Fellow drummers...listen to the hi-hat work...outstanding
That's Larrie Londin, played with Elvis and also was a longtime session guy - his resume is as long as my arm, a true masterclass player.
@@davidcampbell7831 he's a fantastic percussionist
I was born three years after this song was released but I feel as if I lived my young adult life relaxing to these lyrics. That is how powerful this song is. Sigh...if only.☺
Love this and all of his songs!! What a voice, what a gift! And that's an understatement!!
Vocals from God! Best vocalist ever!! Steve perry always gives me goosebumps when he sings.
I've loved Steve Perry since 83'
This one never gets old, such an iconic voice
Steve Perry is just from another world this Man is truly a beast what a voice
Oh man, what a song, oh Jesus, what a voice.
At any time I hear it, I can't get enough and can't get it out of my head for hours
I love this song so much.
Morgan Paviol you look so beautiful and sexy there. What's your phone number?
Morgan Paviol do you wear a Size 10 Shoe and Flip Flop?
Morgan Paviol did you graduate from high school in 2006?
Oh Shit. She's coming back! Oh shit, Oh shit!
This song is the proof that the greatest Steve Perry song was NOT in Journey, but this gem from 1984.
Many groups which made music in the 70's from US split up in the mid 80's. The one thing of the time which always stands out in my mind from this era is artists from groups such as Foreigner, Chicago, Boston, Journey and many others going their separate ways. They released their own material though now they seem to have disappeared from the music scene their music still lives on for another generation to enjoy. As someone I saw the other day who was in their teens listening to this in the bus.
Encontré este vídeo de casualidad, después de años volver a escuchar esta canción no pude evitar llorar, me recordó mi juventud y muchos sueños que no se cumplieron...pero igual la cante con la misma pasión que la cantaba a los 15 o 16 años, el tiempo no vuelve, solo me queda sonreír y pedirle perdón a esa soñadora y continuar respirando...
extraño eso tiempos
Sebastian Bach duet
Saludos
Recuerda que esto no se acaba... hasta que se acaba.
@@javiermxnirvana1200 suena bonito , pero desgraciadamente ya no hay nuevo artistas digno de seguir la corriente del rock verdadero
Love Steve's voice. d:
i agree person from 10 years ago :D
@A. Nick Dove That's what I want to know as well. But I don't believe 10 year old comments receive notifications on their accounts.
he posted only one video, has over a hundred million viewers with over a 100K subscribers. Impressive.
@@killjoy6391 Well, it is a good song.
Oh Sherry!!
14 year old passing through enjoying every single note of this song!
Could I pass you through you, and enjoy every stroke?
@@AdvBrewery hahahahaha
hows it like being 18 now?
@@killjoy6391 I was just gonna ask that lol
Happy 19
this song went to #3 on the pop charts in 1984!!!
The unmistakable voice of Steve Perry, 2019 and beyond!!!!!
Steve have a fucking powerful voice.
Who came here not from any movies or tv shows or online shows. Only that you grew up with these hits and come back to the 80s every time you hear these gems
What a GEM! Come on, SP has a unique voice like FM!
This magical song reminds me of a man whom I love dearly, and he knows it!
this song perfectly captures the mood and emotion I felt growing up in the 80's, the first 20 seconds sums up my childhood Innocence, great song and wonderful memories 😊
Exactly!
I graduated high school in 84!
The 80's were like no other decade ever.
The first and last 20 seconds make me want to cry
I’m a 93 baby who wishes he would have felt like that
@@Firefly-trike we were so lucky to grow up in the 80s! Wish I could have appreciated then but of course you don't realize it until you're much older.
Amazing voice !!!!
Great Steve Perry!!
I Remember being in Junior High School and Hearing that Song on A Friend's Boom Box. Brings Back Memories. ❤ 😊
Let's face it great song great guitar playing great singer Steve Perry I turn the volume up loud for this from Marcus in australia.
Cheers mate have a great day from Marcus in australia.
That first "you should a been gone" is just perfection. Great voice and song. No one today can even hold a candle to this.
I've been searching for this song for years. Finally found itm
So Steve Perry makes all the good songs.
Same!
Spartan0417 hi
Spartan0417 I love you:-)
Yeah 2019 me to. Also Kyrie by mr mister
Hands down, Steve Perry is the architect of successful blending of Rock and R&B, he had the rock feel naturally, and he learned how to be soulful from the legendary black male singers of the 60s and 70s. Its the truth. Steve brought Journey success they would've never had without him. He's a legend. Case closed.
I heard this 18 yrs old and hated it.. Now I listened properly and I see the deeper meaning.
Steve had such a lovely unmistakable voice. I hope he is feeling better thse days and could perhaps get back into recording music. We all miss him
A great song Steve Perry has the greatest voice in rock music, so strong and powerful what a voice 👍
My all time 80s tune fave
Summer roller skating
First time crushes
I used to live down the hill from Steve Perry in Larkspur CA. I always waved. Cool guy ❤️
2019 still loving this song
I am 17 an i love this song
@Jason Misacango stop being rude jason,hes allowed to like what ever music he wants
Even as our world comes to the end, slowly but surely, it's music like this that gives me hope we can avert disaster. But should it end, should we know our own end, this song will carry with me forever.
This old music makes me cry
Same! Good times👄
Tell me about it. Simpler times, man
@@sherrid3986 it sure is
@@viralbuthow000 yup
Vivimos los años maravillosos y hoy mismo nos damos cuenta.
Timeless classic! So glad Steve is back making music again, cannot wait to see what is next for him after Traces, all of you younger generation eat it up as much as you can now the voice has returned!
2018 and still loving this song. Who else?
Me to.
Bryan Zero tolerance
Me too, even though I am a young man
Me
Me too.
One of my favorite '80s tunes
Me encanta mi steve perry no lo cambio por ningún cantante soy su admiradora. N 1😘💋💋 lo. Amo 💖😘😍💟💝💓💕💖💋💋💗💞💜🎵🎵👍
Ill admit i was born in the 90s and was raised through the new millennium but the 80s is still one of my preferred musics of choice and is better then 90s and is WAY better then most new age music the 80s will never fully die
Great song, sung by the best male singer in Steve Perry.
What a voice!!!! Wow! 2021
Esta me recuerda a tí, mi hermanito Ber, cuando nos poníamos loquitos con nuestras chelas y esta rola q nos encantaba!
Nunca olvidaré cuando la bailamos tú y yo en mi casa junto a mi estéreo.
Un besote hasta donde estés!
very hard to get this song out of your head once its there.
LOVELY!!! Stunning song, stunning voice!
70s and 80s is my life
I could listen to that keyboard intro on repeat all day. Puts me in a trance. Lol
So would I
Beautiful song by the leading man of Journey. And the keyboard riff is an example of how awesome music was back in the 80's
Love his voice
+Rebecca S Canton Me too!
What a unique voice. Cannot be replicated
Geez, am I really that old already, I remember this song when it charted...37 years ago! But boy, what a glorious voice, guys like Steve Perry were making it look so effortlessly.
This Song Went To Number 3 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1984.
Perry was Portugese American... Great voice,
the eighties were some good years for music I was already in my twenties😎👍✌🌎
I know right 80’s rule
Im 39 and just discovered this song,man I've been missing out but better late than never right 💪. Amazing song,long live the 80s 🤘
Summer memories and The very early Days of MTV back in the 80s very grateful to be here sharing my thoughts with you all but if you are a child of the late 70s in to the 80s you know how I'm feeling when I hear songs like this one
Esta es una canción que quiero escuchar dos o tres veces una vez que la escucho. La escucho hoy y planeo escucharla en el futuro. Gracias Steve Perry.
