    General CommentThe song is actually call Seperate Ways (Worlds Apart) and it's about a guy who lost this girl he loves and she doesn't love him but in case she feels has no one to turn to he's still there for her.....with a broken heart love is still there......

    General CommentLet's face it, the video would be nothing without Steve Perry's hair. There. I said it. That and the keyboard on the warehouse wall.

    General CommentThis song I think in a way, compliments' This Boy' by The Beatles and vice versa. Its about being with someone who has just decided they dont want to be with you anymore, that they want to be with someone else...the other man so to speak. Its about letting them go but reminding them of everything you shared, times that you touched, and how you will still love them no matter what the outcome...if he hurts you, true love wont desert you. Its about always being there for them even though you may have gone your seperate ways for now. Fantastic song, I give it my two thumbs up anyhow... :)

    General Commenteven though two people are separated, they will always be together in a way. gotta love those keyboards throughout the song. and neal makes that guitar fucking WAIL!

    i'm not much into love songs, but Journey does so much more than the typical "don't leave me" crap we hear on the radio/MTV these days.

    very 80s but very cool

    General CommentIf you've ever found real love and had to let it go, you can relate to this song...

    MemoryI agree with you, and particularly "journeyrocks1109".. (scroll down). True passsion is hard to come by, but true love almost never happens and you unever forget it. The power of true love can be all conquering or destructive. I disagree with waiting in the wings. If someone loves you, you will know it and never question it-and they will never betray you. This song says it all C.K.
