I will never forget this song for two reasons. Firstly, I have always loved this song. I'm a big 80s fan and this is one of my fave tunes from way back then. Listen to the way Steve Perry pours his heart and soul out into this song. There's another version right after by Arnel Pineda. If you have the time to listen to both, let me know which one you prefer. I think Arnel does a terrific job as well but he comes no way close to Steve Perry's soulful version. I love the way Steve brings me completely head and over heels in love with each sentence, each verse, bringing me closer to a heightened climax in the end, only to stop his words; leaving me wanting more!
There's another reason this song remains etched in memory. I was listening to this particular song, singing at the top of my voice when suddenly my roommate (who was driving) and I met with a car accident! We had gone out to get some vanilla coffee one cold winter night when we were hit from behind by another driver. Nobody was hurt but that song kept on playing in the car when we came out from our cars to discuss the damage. I remember being shocked from the accident but I was also still singing along with Journey LOL! ;)
I must also mention the heart-wrenching lyrics to this wonderful number. I am a sucker for lyrics as such, those that make you yearn, wanting something you can't completely put your finger on, but knowing inside that it's something you simply need sigh! Enjoy my Music Monday pick peeps. If you're in the mood for a little RnB with Keith Sweat, head on over to MPG! :)
