A beautiful meaningful song. The song describes the relationship of a music man on the road. The difficulties of raising and maintaining a family, two strangers having to fall in love again, and staying faithful while touring are brought up. However, he suggests that he gets the joy of rediscovering her, and insists Im forever yours... Faithfully. Journey keyboard player Jonathan Cain wrote this song about the rough relationship being a married man on the road in a Rock band. Cain and his wife divorced a few years later, despite him pledging in the song to be forever yours... faithfully. According to the liner notes in Journeys Time3 compilation, Cain paid tribute to road manager Pat Morrow and stage manager Benny Collins when he wrote we all need the clowns to make us smile. He told me he got the melody out of a dream, said Neal Schon. I wish something like that would happen to me. Basically its a road song, Cain said. You know Im being a good dog out here - dont worry about it. Like Rosanna by Toto, this contains lyrics delivered by the lead singer but written by another member of the band, which led many fans to believe Steve Perry wrote the song about a particular girl Legacy: Bryan Adams opened for Journey on their 1983 Frontiers Tour, and during that time wrote the song Heaven, which was heavily influenced by Faithfully. The recording features Journey drummer, Steve Smith. After recording the song Purple Rain, Prince phoned Cain asking him to hear it, worried it might be too similar to Faithfully. Cain did not agree and told Prince the songs only shared the same four chords Lyrics: Highway run into the midnight sun Wheels go round and round, youre on my mind Restless hearts sleep alone tonight Sendin all my love along the wire They say that the road aint no place to start a family Right down the line its been you and me And lovin a music man aint always what its supposed to be Oh, girl you stand by me, Im forever yours, faithfully Circus life under the big top world We all need the clowns to make us smile Through space and time, always another show Wondering where I am lost without you And bein apart aint easy on this love affair Two strangers learn to fall in love again I get the joy of rediscovering you Oh girl, you stand by me, Im forever yours, faithfully Oh... Faithfully, Im still yoooooooooooours.... Im forever yours, ever yoooooooooours.... Faithfully
