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
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.
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. 😊😊😊
I was 8 years old, but this song remained popular on the radio through the end of high school. I stopped listening to a lot of new music after the grunge phase started in 1990.
I got it t lol imma 80s baby ..big hip hop rap fan..you would be surprised to how many people like music like this like they are afraid to listen to it..and I show my daughter this me she is a teen thank you
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!
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.
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.
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!!
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.☺
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.
This song is sooo nostalgic. I was actually born in 2010, but my parents always always played this song in the car when I was a kid. I always began to memorize the album cover and the chorus and the yell in the beginning. 🙏🙏 it reminds me of my childhood
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
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
Desde el cielo infinito su madre estará muy orgullosa de Steve, muy conmovedor el tema compuesto para su.linda madre, gracias Steve por compartir tus canciones, un saludo cariñoso para ti.🎉
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 😊
@@The-GreenHornet 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.
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!
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...
For those wondering, the musicians are lead and background vocalist Steve Perry, guitarist Michael Landau, guitarist-guitar soloist Waddy Wachtel, bassist Bob Glaub, drummer-percussionist Larrie Londin, Rhodes player Randy Goodrem, and synthesist Bill Cuomo.
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. ~
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.
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 ❤️
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.
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.
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
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.
But you know there's a fever oh, you'll never find nowhere else. Can't you feel it burning on-and-on. That part resonates with me the most, however the whole song is brilliantly written!
Steve Perry had the voice that made Journey come to life ..it was made for the band made for the era... this guy is one of an elite in his time his genre of rock...he is a diamond in the ruff.. never can be replaced,repested redone.. nothing..God made only one Steve Perry and you are listening to it..
Obviously if you are listening to this song and reading the comments, we all share a common bond. Great song, great rock singer, great era, great memories. Songs such as these just aren’t written anymore. Instead we have bedroom musos with a contact.
My husband loved this song, so do I. When it came on, he would sing it to me. I miss him so much every day. Not a day goes by. Until we are together eternally. I know you'll come for me when it's my time. soul❤mates
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

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!!
That opening riff gets me every time. Pure 80s gold!

This song never gets old. A classic never dies.
Yes indeed!!!! Steve Perry is amazing!!!
@@danthompson5797 d.lMJ
I guess this song holds on
I never get tired of Steve Perry. Dude brings heaven to the ears.
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
Still one of the best male vocalists EVER
Typical 80’s synth riff lulls you into complacency then Steve hits you with that vocal cord wrenching “you should have been gone”. Perfect.
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. 😊😊😊
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
If you're a teenager right now listening to and appreciating this, then congratulations. You're humanity's last hope.
I was 8 years old, but this song remained popular on the radio through the end of high school. I stopped listening to a lot of new music after the grunge phase started in 1990.
I’m 21 years old and I love 80’s music
i will not disappoint you 🫡
Rock on 😊🤘

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 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.

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.

Man, time catches up to you so fast.
The one and only Steve Perry, totally irreplaceable. Not by a long shot.
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?
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
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.

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!!
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
This song is sooo nostalgic. I was actually born in 2010, but my parents always always played this song in the car when I was a kid. I always began to memorize the album cover and the chorus and the yell in the beginning. 🙏🙏 it reminds me of my childhood
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 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
Love this and all of his songs!! What a voice, what a gift! And that's an understatement!!
So many emotions in that song. Will always remember the first time I listened to this.
Vocals from God! Best vocalist ever!! Steve perry always gives me goosebumps when he sings.
Steve Perry is just from another world this Man is truly a beast what a voice
My name is.. Sherry..and love this song..thanks for singing it Steve ❤
.
That opening synth is pure awesomeness. The whole song is pure awesomeness.
The glory days of 80s music.
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.
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
@@davidcampbell7831 It's great drumming. The "junk sounds" are especially from the era.
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
"you'd be better off alone, I am not who you thought I would be"
MY favorite Line in the whole song
What an amazing voice
Sends chills up my spine
Desde el cielo infinito su madre estará muy orgullosa de Steve, muy conmovedor el tema compuesto para su.linda madre, gracias Steve por compartir tus canciones, un saludo cariñoso para ti.🎉
steve perry is hands down the best singer ever, no one even comes close!
This song is absolutely great! It is a hit from beginning to end.
That first "you should a been gone" is just perfection. Great voice and song. No one today can even hold a candle to this.
You're right, NOT EVEN CLOSE!
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
@@The-GreenHornet 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.

Impossível não dar Like AMO DEMAIS essa música Stevie Perry é um dos melhores frontmans da história na MINHA opinião

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.
The opening solo from Steve brings chills to me!
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.

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 fell in love with Steve Perry back in '81 always my favorite singer and band of all time, what a beautiful song
Adoro essa voz!
Saudades que dá de uma época...
Ouvia direto...
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 🤘
One of the best voices in rock.

Too bad he is dead somewhere in the Chinese forest.
Chris Brewer you’re very insensitive. That’s not even funny.
ER Cook yes , I must agree. I miss his music, wether it’s a solo act or with Journey he was legendary. RIP Steve Perry
Journey was the first concert I ever saw plus I was lucky enough to be visiting Hawaii at the time.
I fell in love with both.
I would be thirteen years old, as my mother loved that beautiful song, it has been 35 years since ... wherever you are, mother ...
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
I had this song in the back of my mind for so many years, and just like that I heard it on the 80's radio station! I love Steve Perry!
the eighties were some good years for music I was already in my twenties😎👍✌🌎
I know right 80’s rule
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.

Lo mejor de lo mejor . Que tiempos aquellos jamas se olvidaran ... Que viva la música de los ochentas.. 2021 y lo que falta
But you know there's a fever oh, you'll never find nowhere else. Can't you feel it burning on-and-on. That part resonates with me the most, however the whole song is brilliantly written!
I've been searching for this song for years. Finally found itm
So Steve Perry makes all the good songs.
