Song Of The Week April 17 2006 - Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)
© steveperryfans.com, 2006 - 2011, all rights reserved


Here we stand
Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two
Sleepless nights
Losing ground
I'm reaching for you, you, you

Feelin' that it's gone
Can change your mind
If we can't go on
To survive the tide love divides

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Through we touched
And went our separate ways

Troubled times
Caught between confusions and pain, pain, pain
Distant eyes
Promises we made were in vain, vain, vain

If you must go, I wish you love
You'll never walk alone
Take care my love
Miss you love

chorus twice

I still love you girl
I really love you girl
And if he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
No, No......................

(Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain )

This song of the week can be heard on Frontiers.

"Steve and I both wrote it. We wanted to write something rhythmic and still have a strong and haunting melody. We needed a main rhythm to run through the synthesiser and Steve Smith designed that kind of drum beat to let everything breathe. It's really a throwback to all of our roots and the Motown sound. Steve has always listened to a lot of Motown records, songs with a strong chorus approach. Songs that were real urgent sounding, but still had rhythm and melody.
Jonathan Cain, Record Review 1983
