Man, I have the Escape album on Super Audio CD and you don't know what you are missing until you hear it opposed to normal, Ross Valory is amazing in this song, the soundstage is so "visible" and present in this album. The re-mastering is amazing. Anyway, this song is my favorite off this album, it's such a feel good song. The words seem pretty obvious, like most Journey songs, they're about Steve Perry's (or whoever) crazy love and passion for someone. I just like how vivd his descriptions are, and the solo/breakdown gives me goosebumps. This is a great song, and if you have a SACD player, buy this album now. The vocals are so clean the hair will stand up on your arms at high levels.
@l@erall_us IDK if we are talking about the same thing but, I remember riding around in my aunt’s Brand New Camaro (none of that ‘spoiler’ shit on the back either, ruining the car’s beautiful lines), blasting Journey and other stuff that was big at the time, and I remember thinking, “This sounds unlike anything I’ve heard”, and “this must be what they mean by ‘State Of The Art’ “, cuz that’s exactly what that awesome sound seemed like to my pre-teen self lol…it sounded like “The Future” or at least, like the then-Present.

Hipsters...
Hipsters like to talk like groups like Journey and Foreigner et al are and were always hopelessly outdated, like, “corporate rock”, or “yacht rock”, but those people are sheep. If it hits you in the gut, it’s fucking GOOD, period, don’t get all caught up in thinking like critics decide what’s “good”…they may help to decide what’s “cool”, but they don’t know any more about “good music” than you or I do… but then, nobody will ever admit to following, say, Lester Bangs’ record reviews as Gospel, and if they ain’t got enough courage To admit it the truth to themselves, they/it ain’t worth considering…
