Journey "Faithfully" REACTION Video | reaction to 80s music videos 

Steve Perry has one of the greatest voices in rock history. He helped launch Journey into superstardom.

Can never go wrong with Journey. A great band with an absolutely iconic voice.

This song was written by Keyboardist Jonathon Cain who was having issues with his marriage every time they headed out on the road. He and his wife eventually divorced. Steve Perry was one of the great rock singers of all time.

Some people may think lighting lighters at concerts back then was "dorky"... imagine being a teenager in the 1980s and seeing Journey live, hearing Steve Perry singing, "Faithfully" with thousands of lighters lit up across the arena. That was a sight to see... I saw Journey in Chicago when I was 17 and that was a concert memory that I will never, ever forget.

Steve perrys voice is like silk just perfect

Journey is definitely one of the great American bands that reached their peak of success during the early 80's. "Faithfully" is one of their best songs. When I think of the great lead singers of rock bands, Steve Perry of Journey is one of the first names that comes to mind. Incredible singer. My favorite power ballad from them that I recommend you try is "Open Arms". For something more rocking and up-tempo from Journey I recommend you try is "Don't Stop Believing"

Steve Perry is the best male voice. U 2 should review all of Journey's songs and Steve Perry solo songs like foolish heart and o Sherrie etc.

What a great rabbit hole to dive down! Steve Perry’s voice is amazing and so is Neil Schon’s guitar playing!! Fun fact: Neil played guitar for Carlos Santana around age 15!! “Only The Young” (my favorite song!), “Feeling That Way/Anytime”, “Lights”, “Wheel In The Sky”, “Don’t Stop Believin’”, “Stone In Love”, “Lovin’ Touchin’ Squeezin’”, “Be Good To Yourself”, “When You Love A Woman” are a couple of their hits!! 🤟🤟🤟

I saw them at Brendan Byrne Arena in 1983 during this tour, for the Frontiers album. This was a new song and hearing Steve belt this out was..... If you want another song about life on the road I highly recommend Bob Segers "Turn the Page" from the Live Bullet album.

No better singer than Steve Perry

Makes me smile that I was a teenager during this age of music.. Good stuff.

Mama knows her music 👍🏻🤟!!

Good evening, ladies.... I was a huge Journey fan back in college, so much so that my roomie and others on my hall hid my albums for awhile! LOL I was happy to see that towards the end of your reaction how poignant you were in recognizing how this song can not only be about touring musicians (even though it's obviously written and performed by touring musicians.) Having served in the Army for 23 years with several deployments and am now working security at an overseas embassy I've experienced some of the parallels with this song's lyrics. Sometimes one can get choked up listening to this. You hit it right on the head that not only for those at home, but those who are away also sometimes feel a level of loneliness that can only be remedied by returning home. This, I know from experience. Great reaction, ladies. Thank you!

Eagles are notorious for blocking their videos.

I am a base player and i travelled doing 300 shows in a year. rarely was home. Fact is i was a roady setting things up for the band but because the base player had a drug problem i actually played in about 80 shows. I only did it one year because if i did it more i would of been divorced and i would never want that for my two daughters. I toured with a nameless band from jan 1989 and did the final show new years eve of 1989. I loved touring but i didnt want to lose my little family. great memories overall though

Steve sings with so much passion and sounds even better live!!

Oh and they are with each other- all guys, lots of stress and girlfriends getting their noses in the bands business.

Omg Steve Perry is so handsome

No one sounds like Steve Perry, no one ever will. The power, the clarity, the emotion... Steve's the best of the best.

Good evening ladies you should play who crying now open arms Great songs all time great times

Can u 2 review all of Steve Perry songs like o sherrie and foolish heart and Journey songs?

Hi beautiful Ladies 🤣.. I'm a bass player from Montana..thank you for for recognizing older music

Ladies Few years ago, my friends and I have seen Journey with their opening act, The Doobie Brothers. This is when Journey has and currently have Perry's replacement, Arnel Pineda. At 1st, I had my doubts about Arnel's singing, but hours later in the concert, I am sold!

Ladies,. This song is so gorgeous 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

This came out in 1983, a lot of great music happened that year

I love Journey and their songs have meaning. Journey isn't Journey without Steve Perry. He made the band. His vocal range surpasses all other singers and he can still sing today. I still listen to my albumns I have of them. My boyfriend worked with a band and was on the road when I gave birth to our daughter. It was tough missing things when you're always traveling.

I just love love love this song. Great lyrics that tell a story anyone who has been in love or been loved can understand.

“I get the joy of rediscovering you. Oh, girl you stand me!” ……❤

Mr. Steve Perry tragically left music for many years leaving the excellent musicians of Journey without a lead singer. Steve's voice and singing is impossible to recreate. The musicians from Journey tried for years to replace Steve. He didn't marry until late in life he just lost his desire for singing. His return in recent years was after the loss of his wife, a wonderful woman he married even knowing she had a terminal disease. Mrs. Perry urged her husband to find his voice and he did after his grieving for her and it is a fantastic album without his old band. Thank You for reacting and enjoying Steve Perry and Journey. You are in my prayers Hoka Hey

Journey is amazing! Steve Perry is the Best! You should check out his solo hit "Foolish Heart". Beautiful. Also, if you want to see another great song about "being on the road" and missing a loved one...check out "Beth" by KISS...yes, KISS the crazy loud Rock band with one of the most beautiful slow songs ever...violins, etc...about the drummer missing his wife Beth while they are constantly on the road. Great song!

It must of been really difficult back then you had phones but you can't face time like we can now so you can hear their voices but long to see their faces and feel their presence.

What a great singer

Journey is my favorite. My husband is an Over the Road semi driver & I know how this feels!❤

The lead guitarist used to play with Carlos Santana in the 70's before joining Journey .

i agree about life on the road for this profession but nothing compares to the ordeal our service man and woman go through knowing there is a chance they will never see them again

Sometimes its really hard to compare which band is better, there are so many,Its like comparing which ice cream taste best.

Few songs reach a crescendo of music, lyrical intensity and vocal passion like this. Schonn's spiraling guitar chases Perry's soaring voice to an incredible climax.

Did it for better than 30 years. Brutal at times, but I'm married to a strong woman.

Great show ,fun Friday Night Live Stream also.I just saw Tammy Wynette on the Jonny Cash Show and Midnight Special TV show is another good place for musicians.

Beautiful girls, good video 📸🎥

Steve is one of the greatest vocalist, you just can't do much better than what he did. Something like magic. A once in a lifetime talent for sure!

Heart warming 💓

Steven Paul Perry Was In Love With Sherrie Swafford , Their Relationship Struggled With The Road Travel , Then Their Relationship Went In To A Lengthy Hiatus ; , That Is When Steve Perry Wrote The Song , " OH SHERRIE " ❤️ Listen To The Song " Mother , Father , Sister , Brother " Live Concert In Houston 1981 , For A Live Album Done Through MTV , AWESOME !!

Iron Maiden found a simple solution for touring. Since they had their own 757 then 747-400, they simply brought their spouses and kids with them! This way they could keep their touring schedule and spend time with family in between shows. Not sure why other bands had separation issues like this.

This sublime song from Journey echoes the feeling from a Nobel Laureate in poetry with the following lines of "life's journey." With the drawing of this Love and the voice of this Calling We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time. Through the unknown, unremembered gate When the last of earth left to discover Is that which was the beginning; At the source of the longest river The voice of the hidden waterfall And the children in the apple-tree Not known, because not looked for But heard, half-heard, in the stillness Between two waves of the sea. Quick now, here, now, always-- A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything) And all shall be well and All manner of thing shall be well When the tongues of flames are in-folded Into the crowned knot of fire And the fire and the rose are one. The Little Gidding is the last of T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets. For a good biographical site on Eliot and some analysis of his poetry, go to the Academy of American Poet's website.

You should react to journey Still they ride live 1983 in budakon Mother father Live in Houston Texas 1981 Wow you won't regret it

They put it as a 'hard time' touring. So they have a GOOD TIME. Why would you feel bad for them...🤣🤣🤣

If you want to get a taste of Steve Perry’s incredible vocal range, check out 1984 live in Houston, Mother, Father, Sister.

I first experienced Journey when they had just cut their first album and was on TV's "Midnight Special" along with Eddie Money. This was sometime in the late 70's ('77, '78, ?), I remember Journey played "Wheel in the Sky" and Eddie Money Sang "Hold on to Me" 😁 P.S.- Got to see Journey in concert twice, once University of Dayton arena, and the other at Louisville's Freedom Hall.

I My job sent me all over the the mid-west/ Southeast only getting home weekends (I traveled and repaired all kinds of nasty, nobody else wants to work on/can't work on, industrial/commercial automated equipment, some of it the size of Dinosaurs). I and Sweetie always kept our love strong, actually it wasn't hard at all, we just accidentally hit life's lottery. But I've seen it many times where it did break co-workers marriages, the road has it's many temptations. 😊

This song came out in 1982 I was in 10th grade and went to there concert in south Florida where I grew up. I also was able to see the Eagles ,Heart ,and The little River band in the Yale stadium when I was 14 years old!!! I will never forget those times. Stay safe.

Thonk about our soldiers. I , was gone for ... too, long. 2 tours and loved ones passed. That time you'll never get back.

Back in the day if you went to a concert you would have three bands, The top billing band, a band on the way up or down and Journey as the opener. We would stay out in the parking lot and get our happy on and go in late just to Miss Journey . Then they changed singers and the Infinity album came out and and they were huge !! The first time I saw Journey as the Top band some up and coming band opened the show.....the band was Van Halen !!!!

Performing 5-6 nights every week for 10-12 months The piano player wrote this for his wife

Daughter talks too much. It's supposed to be a "reaction" video but the daughter already knows this song. Only time the mom got to speak was to agree with the daughter. Beat.

Glad this made it to RU-vid!. I’m being lazy and copying and pasting my comment on this video from Patreon: Thank you for reacting to this incredible song! It is my favorite Journey song. Everything from Steve Perry's powerful voice to the keyboards to the guitar to the lyrics. Great song! Many years ago, I used to play one of their songs on the piano from the Infinity album. I can't remember if it was Anytime or The Winds of March. I really liked both songs. This album came out in 1977. I played it around that time period. I am very rusty on the piano and keyboard. I played the guitar as a second instrument. I should really get back into it. My mother's side of the family is saturated with musical talent from my mother to my grandfather to my great grandfather and so on. My grandfather, Jake Hart, had a group called Jake Hart and friends. They mostly played in his home state of North Carolina.

For sure the temptation for being unfaithful had to be extreme with women throwing themselves at them..literally every venue was full of hundreds of women that would offer themselves to any of them… .for man that’s a difficult thing to walk away from..

Their best video. They didn't do many, some even were 80's hokey. Want a better band from the 80s with better videos? INXS is better.

Just discovered you guys. Enjoying your reactions. You really need to react to any of the live in Houston concert videos. Especially Don’t Stop Believing or Mother, Father.

I grew up on journey! Check out mother, father live in Houston. Imagine listening to this on 8 track

Strange seeing Steve Perry with a mustache. Like Michael Caine with horn rimmed glasses.

Don Henley of the Eagles has a staff of over 60 people scouting for people who use their music. He just doesn't get the idea of Fair Use

I remember in Jr high if you liked a girl you sit in front of the radio till they played this song and recorded it on a cassette tape along with other love songs than gave it to her..... God I'm getting old 😑

Awesome cool song, Steve Perry was Journey 🎤🥁🎸🎸🔥🔥👍😎👌

When you love a woman please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great reaction..try mother, father by journey….or try Pink Floyd Mother

Journey is still a great group despite Steve Perry not being there anymore, Faithfully is a beautiful song to tell her how you feel

Every girl that I saw reacting to this song ending in love AND wishing to find something like this and Is ok

I would think that being any kind of entertainer that there are trust issues being apart with girls and women throwing themselves at the members of the band.

They all divorce , the next wife is always younger.

A lot of guys could only wish to sing like steve perry but most of us sing like banshees.

Yeah, you don't see that many reactions to Eagles songs on RU-vid

Another power ballad. Great channel ladies.

Still think this is there best song. Well this and Separate Ways

Sorry the song is please don't go by Stephanie rainey

Listen to if tomorrow never comes by Garth Brook

Now try this song . I'll never let you go by steelheart

"The Voice" Nothing more needs to be said.

Truck drivers do it constantly

Neal Schon was a guitarist for Santana. He and Greg Rolie quit Santana. They founded Journey. Santana, Journey and I were born in San Francisco. I grew up listening to both bands. Faithfully was written by Jonathan Cain. He is on piano and synth. This was released in 1983. Drums by Steve Smith. 🥁 Same year, 1983. Faithfully song sounds like Heaven. Written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance. BA needed a drummer to record Heaven. His drummer Mickey Curry was not available because he was required by a prior contract to play with another musician. Steve Smith happened to be in town, New York. Thus, Heaven sounds like Faithfully. Steve Perry was the lead singer. The lead singer now is Arnel Pineda. Neal Schon discovered AP on the Internet! In 1984, the late Prince called Jonathan Cain to have him listen to Purple Rain because he thought it sounded like Faithfully and didn’t want to step on any toes. JC said Purple Rain was inspired by Faithfully but not copied. JC gave a big thumbs up! 👍RIP Prince. Suggested videos: 1 Journey performs Open Arms live. 2 Steve Perry sings Foolish Heart 3 Bryan Adams sings Heaven.

Listen to I'll hold your hand very sad

Another band like Journey from that era that’s great is Def Leppard. They have a drummer who has one arm and uses his feet to do what his arm would do. They have some old songs like “Armageddon It”, “Rocket”, “Pour Some Sugar on Me”, “Love Bites”, “Two Steps Behind”, Let’s Get Rocked” and some new stuff like “We Belong”, “Let’s Go”, “Undefeated”, “Kick” and “Fire it Up”. In May they are rereleasing some of their music sung with an orchestra backing them. They just released one song of the album “Animal”.

Ladies during this time period there was also Bryan Adams, you have to list the live version at Wembley when he does EVERY THIND I DO..... ITS A MUST

Don't really need to be on the road. We played in a sixty mile radius from home three nights a week. That was plenty of being gone for me

Y’all look like sisters 😊

Please react to Barry Gibb and Barbra Streisand live singing Guilty. Also Kenny Rogers singing live Lady.

Steve Perry experienced burnout... He just could not do it anymore. He's human like all of us. But.. Journey gave us alot of great music during the early 70's and 80's...

If you are in the mood for something different, please react to Patty Gurdy's cover of 'Bad Habits' by Ed Sheeran. Oh, and if you want to hear nore from Chance in Home Free, he's heavily featured in their cover of 'In The Blood' and 'Think A Little Less'

Steve may be the best singer ever(whose better)? Yes there's George Michael, Ann Wilson of Heart, Linda, Ronstadt Tom Jones but hes the best in my opinion Thankfully he back after a very long hiatus recording Christmas songs but hopefully doing other genres. He, Ann Wilson John Fogerty of CCR are desperately needed on music radio.

Watching this video makes me wonder if bassist Ross Valory told Steve Perry what Deep Purple's legendary keyboard player Jon Lord (RIP) told then new arrival and future Whitesnake superstar David Coverdale: "Only one person in Deep Purple is allowed to have a moustache, and that person is me!"

As a truck driver this song hits deep,probably one of the Greatest Love Songs to come out of the 80s!! Still listen to Journey today,their music will live on....

I drive a tractor trailer. Being gone can be hard

Wait…so you’re reacting to a song which both of you are already familiar as evident by each of you saying “it’s a good song?” That literally defeats the purpose of a reaction video.

I worked with this band a few times. We played 'em in a softball game once. They won. One time Robert Fleischman stressed out my car speakers while I was giving him a ride to the airport. No harm done. LOL. I worked for one the biggest promoters in the country back in the day & we did shows all over the place. I was rarely home. I was in my 20s & single. Sometimes girlfriends, sometimes not. ;o)

Very nice reaction, girls. If anyone is wondering why they can't see a live stream, it may be that you need to use a VPN and access Gap's channel from OUTSIDE of North America. e.g. Can't get Momma Gap's Birthday stream in Canada or the USA; go to Germany and it 'magically' pops up. This may also be true for more than just live streams.

Another great one. As a "rocker" little kid (AC/DC. Judas Priest, Scorpions, etc) at that time, you did not want to admit you liked Journey and especially a love song. Didn't matter, this one is timeless and ingrained in your soul. Beautiful. I agree with some of the other posts that Steve Perry has one of the greatest and most recognizable voices in rock history. Just how you know Freddie Mercury on the first word, you know Steve Perry the same. Can't compare to anyone else.

The keyboardist Jonathan Cain wrote the entire song for his then wife. Unfortunately, they ended up divorcing sometime in late 80's.

Hahaha it must be hard to have a girl in every city. Groupies waiting on line and whenever you want a girl ya got her. Even if you look like Steve Perry.

Don’t forget about the military who are away from home a lot and Sonoma don’t come home. Oh and thank you for remembering pilots because I am a pilot.

Steve Perry is known as the voice In your neck of the woods, and down under we call John Farnham the voice. Both singers up there if not regarded as the best
