They had so much more potential in this direction. But then their producer made them take on Perry, and they became a commercial pop success as the producers hoped. But now they play sweet songs instead of bad-ass rock songs, so even though I like the new hits I consider them second class to the original band.

The perfect song to play at a wedding. Their original keyboard player was Gregg Rolie, who was also their singer on the first 3 albums. Rolie and Schon were in Santana before forming Journey.

As a coach, he HAS TO know Don’t Stop Believin as much as it’s played before, after, and during sooooooo many sporting events!

Open Arms, Who's Cryin' Now, and Send Her My Love are also songs by Journey. All 3 are tearjerkers. Another one is Foreigner's Waiting For A Girl Like You.

Hmm, I look at it like this... Faithfully talks about the struggles of maintaining a relationship despite the demands of being a musician. When You Love a Woman is more an observational approach to what makes love. Send Her My Love is about the regret of losing love. All truly excellent songs, but for my money, I'll go with Stay Awhile as journey's best love song, and one of the best all-time - an absolutely gorgeous song that from start to finish that expresses love in a beautiful way. From the desperate desire to just be with that special woman, to the expression of trying to impress and win her. Then the powerful, climactic crescendo at the end, the strings come in, and the rich harmony's culminate perfectly...

Little known fact... After first hearing this song, Prince liked the tune so much that he was inspired to write his own version of it - Purple Rain. * If you listen to both songs back to back and close your eyes while listening you'll be blown away at the similarities the songs have with one another, especially towards the end!

An absolutely heart wrenchingly beautiful song. I remember when the song first came out and I saw the video for the first time, I was touched by the shots of the band and the absolute human essence captured in the juxtaposition of the shots during the video. They weren’t just performers, they were a bunch of guys on the road missing their families/loved ones. And the two most poignant pictures were the band members Climbing the stairs onto a plane and drummer, Steve Smith, holding the carrier with his son, as he climbed the stairs onto the plane while the song plays, “they say that the road ain’t no place to start a family” . Followed by a picture of a long-haired girl in a photograph that pans out to keyboardist Jonathan Cain staring in the mirror where the picture is hung while the song plays “right all the while it’s been you and me.” Jonathan Cain wrote the song, inspired by, and dedicated to the girl in the photo… His wife.

At 51 years old, I've heard a lot of music. A LOT. This song is on my list of songs that never fails to make me emotional. Steve Perry's voice, the heartfelt story, the clips of what touring with s band is like. Incredible. Hopefully you and Amber will add Dimash Kudaibergen to your list. Best singer I've ever heard, I guarantee this is a rabbit hole you'll want to explore.

I’m 51 and from Seattle. Journey was my first Concert at 12. I just discovered Dimash recently. I agree, you MUST react to Dimash. He can sing 7 octaves and sings in 12 languages. I love your reactions Rob Squad. Steve Perry from Journey was my first love, but Dimash is a whole other level. I love both for different reasons.

I was in highschool in the 80’s, and Journey was and still is, my favorite band of the 80’s !! I had their Escape album (the vinyl album!) and played it over and over. What a great band! All the songs on this album are awesome ! Steve Perry had the MOST amazing voice, wow what a talent !

@*Let's talk 👉Rob squad reaction1 anytime... Hmu. Im a walking music catalog.

Journey got labeled “corporate rock “ because they were among the first band to have corporations sponsor tours…and they were among the best at power ballads. Got some backlash from purists, but people loved them..they don’t call Steve Perry “the voice “ for nothing. Foolish Heart is a great song from his solo album

They had so many hits. Great group. But this…is…the Journey song. Lead singer Steve Perry is consistently listed as one of the greatest voices in rock history. And they aren’t wrong.

Faithfully is the reason why I love Journey so much. God blessed Steve Perry with a voice of an angel.

One of the best rock songs ever written. Still great after all these decades.

Seen them in concert they are fantastic & Steve Perry's voice is AMAZING his range is PHENOM!! I LOVE them so much!!

Journey "Only the young" (original studio version) is my FAVORITE song by them EVER! goosebumps. ❤️

This song holds a special place in my heart... Back in the 80s when my then girlfriend and I were dating we had a huge argument and broke up for a spell. She one day called a radio station and requested this song she recorded her requesting this song and requested it to me.. She dropped the tape off at my house... after playing we made up. She later became my wife.. She passed away in 2016.... I still have that tape with her requesting this song.

“I get the joy of rediscovering you” is so freaking sweet.

Steve Perry what a great vocalist. Journey still rocks the airways. "When you love a woman,"

Mother, Father is one of their best ballads along with this song right here being a huge favorite! Great Reaction!! GO down this rabbit hole! You will not be disappointed!!

Great job Dad...keep up with what is important...Family. Great job Mom for the support you give to him. Steve Perry has such a pure voice...tragic of why he stopped singing...maybe someday he will return to entertain us. Love your videos kids....keep exploring....

I saw Journey in 1979, San Bernardino, Ca. at the Swing Auditorium. Thin Lizzy opened for them. The best concert I have every seen.

Steve perry's vocal performance on this song is on another level, only a couple other vocalists ever reached this level of performance. The whole song is a masterpiece but specifically, starting at 6:25, he goes to another gear and then he hits yet another gear at 8:40 just when you didn't think he could belt it any more powerfully

I’m grateful to have witnessed this great era of music back then. It was a better time for the whole world.

I hear you. The world is not a very pretty or nice place right now. The Russian Ukrainian war, the animosity between our elected officials in this country and all the social unrest makes me yearn for the way times were back then.

The echo of the drums in this song. The buildup... Just WOW

Imagine being a woman and your man writes this beautiful song about you and your relationship… just chills ❤

I grew up listening to Journey. I truly love every single song of theirs. I'd highly recommend 'Send Her My Love', 'Separate Ways', and 'Be Good To Yourself'. But honestly, you really can't go wrong with any Journey!!

This guy's voice cuts into your soul because he sings with so much heart and emotion.

steve perry has one of the greatest voices. he has a tremendous range and his able to sing ballads and rock songs.

Iconic memory for me. Imagine 90,000 people in a sea.... they gave 110% to us, just laid it at our feet. Vocals, guitar, drums all of it. Sometimes you have experiences that you feel special to have been witness to, and blessed to have as a memory. They had millions and millions of people just loving music together.

This song has given me goosebumps for 40 years. Steve Perry's voice is...I can't even find the words. It defies description. "I get the joy of rediscovering you" is one of the best lines from any song ever. Journey absolutely defines the power ballad. NO ONE does them better. SO glad you guys finally reacted to this!

Absolutely beautiful. His voice is flawless and gorgeous. Amazing.

I believe Steve Perry wrote this for his wife. I was 12 when this came out but seems like I remember hearing that. It's about life on the road with a band and how lonely it can be. It was also the anthem for Friday night "Couple's Only" roller skating! Damn I miss those times. Glad I got to experience it.

Jonathan Cain wrote it for his wife. Perry never married, but had a very volatile relationship with, OH SHERRIE.

LOVE Journey.....some other great songs are "Who's Crying Now", "Girl Can't Help It", "Send Her My Love" or "Only The Young".

One of the underrated lines of this song is "I get the joy of re-discovering you", which references to coming together after being apart so long. What a great silver-lining outlook.

My favorite line in the song as well with two strangers learn to fall in love again.... just brilliant writing.

I just listened to your Journey's "Send Here My Love" and this beautiful song, both of which I have listened too since they were released in the 1980's. Again, thanks for opening the eyes of the unknowing people everywhere. You are music ambassador's to lovers of music everywhere.

I was 21 when I went to see them in concert in 1981 when they were in their prime when they did their "Escape" tour. Loverboy was the opening act...."Everybody's Working For The Weekend" was their biggest hit at that time which is a fun song. But the Journey concert was one of the best nights of my life! So much fun with great music and seeing and hearing one of the best power house voices in music. I'm 64 now and they are still one my top three bands ever. All their #1 hits were out when this concert tour was going. Neal Schon is the lead guitarist,he use to be play for Santana before starting the band Journey . Neal is one of the best guitarist and him and Steve Perry were a perfect team. Steve Smith was the drummer in this song. You should hear their song "Still They Ride"....such a very relaxing and such a beautiful song sung by Steve Perry. And even though Journey is still around, it's with a different singer now...a wanna be sounds like Steve Perry...but he's not Steve Perry....Steve Perry was the best of the best in male lead singer voices. The notes he could reach and carry out and with emotion is so exceptional. For me Journey is not the REAL Journey without Steve Perry as the lead vocal. If he's not singing the songs...i'm not interested. "Wheel In the Sky" is a really great song and very upbeat and such great music. "Lights" is another nice song which is a tribute to their hometown San Francisco. 😊❤

"Open Arm's" is another power ballad by Journey

If you do “Don’t Stop Believin” please do the live performance from Houston. It is as close to seeing them in concert as you can get, and you will see the brilliance of Steve Perry’s vocals.

That and "two strangers learn to love again"

Is this really your first Journey reaction since May?? Been a minute! You have so much further down this rabbit hole to go! You got to do "Lights", "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'", "Any Way You Want It", "Who's Crying Now", "Open Arms", "Separate Ways", and perhaps their most famous song "Don't Stop Believin'". Was there a voice in that era more recognizable than Steve Perry's? I don't think so! (OK, maybe Steven Tyler.) P.S. I don't think you've done another Phil Collins song other than "In the Air Tonight" (twice). Might I suggest "Sussudio" or "I Wish It Would Rain Down" or possibly "Against All Odds"?
