  • Awesome!! Thanks for the share:)

    Grandma mary

  • This was recorded during the FTLOSM album along with a few other songs that didn't make the album. I bought a cd online called Steve Perry Demos and it had all this unreleased music, alternate tracks from his first two solo albums, it's amazing. It's not remastered, but what a gem!

  • This is amazing I've never heard this song by him but it's amazing it should be on a greatest hits album he is the best the fire and passion he sung with couldn't be matched thanks for uploading

  • He is one of the all time best, way high on the list, I think he can't sing as well anymore and he's smart enough not to pursue an active music career, I'm just guessing here.

    His music is often played in my house.

    EPIC ICON.

  • THANK YOU FOR SENDING THIS SONG TO ME! GOD BLESS YOU FOR THIS. I HAD TO CHECK IT OUT ONCE MORE. SO AS FAR AS YOU KNOW IT'S STILL JUST A DEMO? PLEASE LET ME KNOW CAUSE i HAVE WAY'S OF GETTING IN TOUCH WITH THEM & I'LL TELL THEM WHO SENT IT TO ME & TELL THEM IT NEED'S TO BE ON A GREATEST'S HIT'S OR ON NEW C.D. THIS IS A BIG HIT!

    THANK YOU AGAIN & GOD BLESS YOU,

    DENISE

  • Steve your voice carries me away to a place among angels!!

  • Anyone know the back story to this song? Year, why it wasn't included, etc.? Sounds like FLOTSM era, but I'm surely no expert...

  • Still the greatest voice I have ever heard.... Steve my first love wish you were still out there singing and recording, I own every recording you have ever done

  • Well Ive never heard this one but I love it like all the other's....I say take it & run with it so it can be a chart topper. Trust me I was raised in music. But then again what song of Journey's wouldn't sell..? There's so many fan's that would love to hear this. I say take the Demo & go with it. Great vocals & music as alway's.

    Thank's for hearing me out.

  • @MrTommyheddenstomboy Agreed...

    

  • It's Steve Perry so of course it's awesome. The voice...oh...the memories! Thank you Steve Perry and Journey:D

  • The greatest singer. Ever. This voice is unbelievable and I don't know anyone at this level...

  • Great upload .Thanks a lot.

  • Steve Perry is the KING!

  • you are an angel you are lost to your fans please bless us with your voice again.

  • Steve you are my lost angel

  • Fabulous!!!

  • Steve Perry you are our Lost Angel! Bless you!

  • I miss you Steve! You should patent your voice from all those karioke guys!

  • WOW THIS SONG IS AWSOME!! STEVE NEEDS TO PUT THIS SONG ON A NEW CD ... IT DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE HEARD AGAIN . WHAT HE DOES W/ THE VOCALS SO WICKED WOW OH WOW!!! SO EPIC!!

  • Raine covered this tune and they did a great job with it. They stayed true to Perry's version. Wicked layered vocals and better recording quality than this demo.

  • Steve is the quintessential singer! Steve you are The Voice - Please sing for us again....

  • I love this song so much, Steve's voice gives me goose bumps.

  • de llorarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • this song could come out right now and be a huge hit! ily Perry!!

  • @steveperryfanforever Facebook page?

  • i am screaming right , now i just love him every time i here him sing my heart skip a beat.

  • great song from the year 1991

  • His one of a kind....one of... THE... sexiest men ever.... una voz espectacular! muah sending you a Kiss :-X

  • Is this on a cd? I think it's so beautiful… sad song yet that VOICE just sweeps me away!

  • The Greatest voice EVER..MISS HIM SO MUCH.

  • listen the version of aorband RAINE, first album peace

  • It seemed like back in the 70's and 80's you knew who was coming on the radio. I feel like each band had their own sound and it was neat. It seems like now everyone wants to sound like Eddie Vedder? Steve Perry is awesome. The man can flat sing!

  • Steve, we do love you, we do care for you...we are not lying! Come back NOW...PLEASE!

  • have you ever noticed those of us who grew up in the 70's and 80's have nothing but positive things to say about our music?

  • @mitchtobin YES! I love our music. We have great taste and I want my '80's back!

  • Steve perry and Freddie Mecurey are the best ever

  • It's that time of year when i just have to wish you. Happy Birthday, Mr Perry.

  • Mr Perry please put this song on your new cd its fantastic!!! The man stinks of sexy!!!

  • Hey Girl, I will second the request for this song to be included on the new Album! I just love YouTube!

  • Hey Trina, LOL, I love you-tube with all steve perry songs too!!! What are you doing christmas eve!!!

  • WELL PUT!!!!!!

  • Hi lucaden, Thanks alot!!! We miss you perry!!!

  • @cutlets29 Hey sweetie. I know I smell him. There is sexiness all over the place. sniff sniff

  • @1fitmama  Hi FIT, lmao i WOULD LOVE TO SNIFF THAT MAN ALL DAY MYSELF! Just be on the look-out for Irish eyes are red she would do anything to keep him all to herself!!!

  • I always find Steve's 'cast away' music is so much better than anything anyone is putting out now, it's amazing. Songs he finds 'not good enough' to make the cut onto his CD's are spectacular. He's talented beyond he knows.

  • Lost Angels is a lost treasure !! thanx for finding it & posting !! Hope it pops up on an album somewhere in time !!

  • WOW this is a great song. If they were to release this today i believe it would be a big hit. Man vocals are awesome. I wonder when this was recorded? Awesome!!!!

  • Sorry, the rumors about the new CD Mr. Steve Perry talks about are that is to be released on 2010.

  • I so much love this song. I want it. Maybe in the new CD 2009 ? Please. Mr Steve Perry you are the best ever.

  • @Stevenewfan It was intended for an album called "Against The Wall" that was never released. The title track and a few others made it onto some CD singles from "For the Love of Strange Medicine", and his greatest hit's CD. This would have been between "Street Talk" and "FTLOSM". From the stuff I've heard, I think this would have been my favorite Perry album.

  • Always cool to hear Journey.

  • to the fan or u curius that steve perry dont have his own reality show because there  are alot of reality show on tv, that aint no good hit me up , thank u by ep ,

  • This is an awesome song... I take it this is not on any released cd... It should be...

    I hope we find this on a cd soon...

    Beautiful voice... Powerful lyrics...

  • This is one of the best soundtracks yet.......it is too bad not released. So relevent today!!!!!!!

  • Can you say YUM YUM....

  • Yes I can! I can also say  HOT!HOT!!HOT!!!

  • Where can I get this album? It is so beautiful.

  • Oddly enough, Steve Perry looks like a tiny version of Fabio.

  • Sounds like Bryan adams.

  • What a beautiful song!!!

  • It must will be on his new album!

  • new album ??????

  • beautiful voice

  • now thats how you sing a rock song..true rock voice \m/

  • This is awesome!!!!!

  • This song needs an album. Its a lost angel of a song.

  • This song is sooo great one of my favourite Perry songs, he is my god!

    But there is another version of this song, Jim Jidhed, the lead singer of Alien has also recorded it. the music pretty much sounds the same, and the quality is way better.

  • is this about the little boy that steve and journey went to see in the hospital that was dieing,the boys mother wrote to them and told them that her son loved journey. and wanted to know if they would come and see him, and they did and a few days later he died. they said it broke their hearts to see this little boy dieing with so much to live for. that i think was so great of journey. so they wrote a song about the little boy. i'm not sure if this is the one they did for him or not.

  • You story is a little off. What actually happened is they went to see him in the hospital and let him be the first person outside the studio/label to hear "Only The Young" before it was released to the public. Journey said they would always consider that song "his" song. Journey never wrote a song about that little boy.

  • You're right. That's the way I heard it.

  • Happy Birthday, Steve Perry!

    Embrace & enjoy the BIG 6-0!!!!

    For more than 30 years, you've given me & legions of other longtime fans both BEAUTFIUL MEMORIES & UNFORGETTABLE MUSIC.

    I followed you from the verrrrry beginning, thru the '80s, on thru FTLOSM.

    LOVED EACH & EVERY MOMENT & WOULDN'T TRADE THEM FOR ANYTHING.

    Your music (solo & with STEVE PERRY's ~JOURNEY~) has been part of the Soundtrack of My Life. (Bob Dylan's provided much of the rest. ;) ALL THE BEST.

    PERRY4EVER!!

  • This is so, so, so good. I've never heard it till now! Wooow.

  • love that solo- ''tears tears they cry''. his songs bring so much energy . i cant go on a day with out listenin to that voice.

  • Release this, or anything! I want to here "THE VOICE" again!

  • he sold the rights to this song in the erly 90s for $ to a rock band he dosent own the rights tho this song any more so he cant put it out

  • WRONG! He didn't write the song. He never owned any rights to it. He provided vocals on another person's composition. He wanted to release it, but claim co-writing when he did none of the writing. The person who wrote it refused. That's why you will never see it released.

  • Oh my my my Steve should put this out..its a great song.

  • I have to say i love his songs i like the sounds he does on his own with journey he is a great lead though my heart is still a big greg fan for lead but if you listen to him god the man has talent that can go on for a lifetime keep it up

  • This is such a nice song!

  • was this after strange medicine? if not, im surprised he didnt put it on that album

  • nothing after FTLOSM

  • I am completely in agreement with those who think that Steve should release this song.

    I don't see when it was recorded, but it still sounds current and would definitely be played on the air.

  • Drummergirl, that is such a great idea, I wish he could read that. I really like this song!

  • Would love to hear Steve come out with this song now with a kick ass guitar player and band. Can't figure out why he never released this. Really good. It would be a great way to kick off your 60th birthday - how about it Steve!!!

  • Here's another January 22nd Birthday idea:

    Take hat and coat, put them on, Sherri opens door, Steve and Lost Angels depart and PARTY!!!

    :-D

    How about it Steve???!!! (Oh Sherri ...)

  • Steve is the best and noone can take his place.

  • I wanna a lyric of this song

    i have downloaded in the eMule and i love it!

    please, someone just send me a lyric!!

    Thanks!!

  • I just can't get enough of this man

  • Would love to hear Steve sing solo!

    Then let him know that he's still loved & missed by his fans!!!!

    Go to petitiononlinecom & sign the Steve Perry Sing Again petition (enter- /srperry1/petition.html in the top address line.)

    Let Steve know how many people are eager to hear "The Voice" again!!!!!!!!!

  • this song is a jewel!

  • Perrysgal: That was hilarious. Good one.

  • I wish Steve would release this one. I love this song. Of all Steve's hidden gems, this one is certainly one of his best.

  • As said before

    Take a step back.

    Look who's standing in front of you

    You might find,

    you don't like the person at all.

    This info will save you alot of pain.Remember:

    The predator,liar,flatters you...Lane*

  • The SAD TRUTH is Steve Perry and JOURNEY won't GET BACK together EVER AGAIN.

    It's going to be Arnel Pineda and JOURNEY and Steve Perry and HIS own BAND .. that's IT FOLKS !Both bands will be selling albums and both bands will be selling out concert tickets... and so.... WHAT's your problem? LOLz

  • ekuta guess what? Perry will always be selling his music. Journey however is sinking more everyday with Arnel singing.

  • Excuse me ROKnROLman ... reality check here ...knocks on ur skull .... HELLOOOO .... lolz .... Journey is sinking each day with ARNEL singing? He's gonna be a millionaire after the sales on REVELATION and after the WORLD CONCERT TOUR of JOURNEY ... record sales is GOOD and CONCERTS are ALL SOLD OUT ! SINKING? you make me LAUGH !

  • Perry can't sing anymore?? oh ok, I'm glad you have the tabs on him to pass along to the fans, I'm sure you live right next door to him and talk to him everyday too...BS!

    Perry could puke up a lung and make it sound good

  • TenderSurrender, your post just had me laughing. Puke up a lung and make it sound good. That is too funny, and you know your probably right. He has a phenominal voice and everything he sings has that special Perry quality to it.

  • TenderSurrender, I love your humor. Steve could puke up a lung and you would not know if he was missing a lung. No change in his voice. He's the best.

  • my god how long ago was this recorded? He is so great i cant wait till he comes out and has this on a cd would love to hear his voice again, What a great man so much heart .

  • Rare vid and Steve is RARE.Gotta love the guy.

  • hey.. great singer.. where is he from? :)

  • Steve Perry is from

    Hanford, California.

  • @19dave64 born in Hanford, California indeed..descending from portuguese parents..proud to have the same roots as 'The Voice'...

  • @ferigeri Hes portugiese.Portugal .go on wikipedia.Hes anyway the King. All the best !!! greets. Ralph

  • @ferigeri He's from heaven!

  • As a guitar player myself I totally enjoy Neal's playing...he is the perfect guitar player for Journey..but I must agree...the man isn't the brightest bulb in the pack...he keeps trying so darn hard to find another Perry...even with Perry's age, he can't be replaced! WAKE UP NEAL AND SMELL THE PERRY!! STOP YOUR INSANE QUEST AND TRY TO GET PERRY BACK IN THE BAND!! grrrrr....!!

  • heard this awhile ago while downloading stuff from here and there......he doesn't ever sound bad;does he?

    Hey Ladies!!!

  • Hey Pitbuly if the grass is greener on this side you can play here as long as you want. Your right, Steve Perry is the best singer there ever was. :>)

  • Tank yo, walden. I think dat i'm going por now. I'll listen to sum classik Jurny: Poreber In Blooh, Line Ub Pire, Mudder Padder and my paborite sung eber, Its called "Paytpoolee". i will c u latter my Perry prends!

  • PITPULY ...Sorry...I had to give you away on this one...all these people are my buds....lol

  • I lub ya beakys. lol

  • I lub ya too Pitpuly!!! lol

  • PITPULLY:

    Please don't take offense to this: but I think you are the only one in your country who knows GOOD music, real talent, and who the REAL singer of this band should be! You are welcone amongst the Perry fans! We are the Faithful ones! I do't believe that this "reincarnation" of JRNY with a wanna-be singer will ever come to the heights that Neal hopes....plus Neal is an ass who just shot himself in the foot in the GQ article!

    PERRY ON 4 EVER!

  • perryzgal, I really dunt take oppense to ene ting. Dunt woorry 'bout dat! I'm bery proud to bee Pinoy! I know dat Steb Peri is THE VOICE, but brudder Arnel is da bist karaoke man ever existed. He does a gud impersonation op da Perry voice. I lab leasing to da new Jurny songs, but my paborit sung is prom classic Journey scold Pitpoolee. Piss to ebery wan.

  • you got that right mofo

  • arnel pineda is also a perry fan..but can any perry fan sing better than pineda? case closed

  • axel:

    You're an idiot! Of course you like AP..that is fine, but keep him in the ZOO...shut the cage and lock the door! Bwahahahaahahah! What the heck are you doing here if you don't like Perry? GO AWAY!

    PERRY ON FOREVER!

    BTW...AP CAN'T sing! He screeches! YUCK!

  • axel:

    You are obviously not up-to-date on your SP information. I have no time for your ignorance!

    GO AWAY..go back to the karaoke sites with Arnel!

  • why did he sang live already?

  • Pitbuly, Your Killin Me, I love the accent OMG your Funny. LMAO. Go play somewhere else if you know what I mean.

  • Naw...he can play right here as long as he wants....Gives us something to talk about...lol..

  • Hi walden. I habe been trying to play in Arnel's sites, but I got a lot ub thumbs down, you know waddamean? I think dat maybe sum of my Pinoy brudders and priends got mad at my aksint. LMAO

    [PS: Da Stebe Perry is da best SINGER eber! I'll bee a paytpool pan poreber!]

  • I just love his voice..and all the package..lol.

  • Anyone know when Steve Perry is coming out with his new CD? I heard he has been working on something.

    "Hey Beakys" JS

  • Right now it is all just speculation. He is working on the songs, but has made no plans! He should do it quickly b/c his CD will kick a** and it will put a thorn in the side of that idiot, Neal S!!!!He's too professional to do that to them though (as shown in the GQ interview) Now, Neal....well...I can't say what I want to about him! Basically, I just want Perry back! He is PERFECTION!

  • Hey JS!! How are ya??

    Your guess is as good as anybody's on the new cd...lol....

  • Arnel has never composed anything in his life Pitpuly. Get your facts straight and maybe take some english classes.

    STEVE PERRY IS #1

  • No bro, me don't need ene Inglis lessons, I am now spokening Inglis bery hard and pine, and wid no akint at all, bicos brudder Arnel is my Inglis titsier. And who da puck do ya tink you are to say dat Arnel is not a composisinser. He da best songer and composisinser op da world. Period!

  • Beautiful song---thanks, Dave !!! Peace/Love

  • Does anyone know if SP is ever going to release any of these "extra" songs? Love this song as well as "Let Go." It's a shame they weren't included in the re-releases.

  • You can try to look for updated info on Google type in "Steve Perry" click on the "Steve Perry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". When you are redirected click on "Steve Perry (musician), solo artist and the former lead singer of the band Journey". I hope this may help you.

    Kat~

  • Be careful of using Wikipedia...ANYONE can change the information there and it is not reliaable. Trust me, I work in the school system and we steer our students away from that site! Not reliable at all! Heck, I can go in and add/delete/change anything I want! Just sharing!

    LOVE PERRY!

    perryzgal :)

  • perryzgal ..Are you the one that wrote Arnel is a midget on Wikipedia? lol.....Not really....and it doesn't say that......Did I just give you ideas??? hahahahah!!!

  • I'd have other things to say than just "midet"....LOL!

  • beakys:

    I tried to post to you, but I screwed up! I would have many other things to say than just "midget" in regards thto that wanna-be karaoke singer. LOL!

    I think you already know what I have in mind!!

    Perry is #1

  • No, no, no! Steve Perry is not # 1. Brudder Arnel # 1 songer and moosik composisinser op da hole Uniberse!

  • PITPULLY:

    Arnie-boy is a wanna-be karaoke singer. Steve Perry is a talented, professional gem of a vocalist! Unmatched in so many ways!!!!! So many try to imitate him, but they don't come CLOSE and nobody ever will!

    PERRY 4 EVER!

  • Arnel Pineda is da karaoke king! So mane try to imitate da Perry boy, but brudder is da best impersonator eber!

    I know dat Steve Perry is da best SINGER in all op da Uniberse and will always bee. But brudder Arnel is da best songer. Got it?

    LOL

  • Pitpuly

     I got it!

  • Good try at the language, but I didn't just fall off the turnip truck! And so if you do ever improve your language you need to also improve your hearing. AP is not as good as Perry and he never will be. Sorry, but some times the truth is hard to hear.

  • solateado Believe it or not...Pitpuly's hearing is just fine....

  • PITPULY haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

  • Heyaaaaa, da beakys!

  • PITPULY Still a gig Arnel fan huh?? lol

  • Por shore! I lub da karaoke ub da Arnel.

    But y'know... Steve Perry is THE VOICE!!!!!

  • perryzgal Well I was trying to be nice on here so I only wrote the word midget....but you and I both know what I really meant...lol...

  • Well, he says "But brudder Arnel is da best songer". I know he's playing with our heads - he's even trying to write with an accent and it is terribly funny!

    I am guessing you know who it really is!

  • solateado ...Not who he really is...but spoken with him before....lol

  • i think s/he got that writting/accent thing from too much texting

  • IF you kow someone, you can get them all as trades or bootlegs.

    But, ya' have to know someone!

    ;-)

  • Loving Steve Perry! He has he best voice of all!

  • This video was awsome. does any one know how we can get an e-mail to him.

  • robin2728: i'd like to know too...good question...

  • Wow. Where HAS this song been? I wish Steve would come back and make a whole new album. :[

    But we do Steve! Your voice is AMAZING to say the least and you're absolutely gorgeous!

    I♥U Steve!
