"Faithfully" is a song by the band Journey, and the second single from their album ''Frontiers''. The song is a power ballad and was written by Jonathan Cain. It peaked at number 12 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, giving the band their second consecutive top twenty hit from ''Frontiers''. Despite featuring no chorus, it has gone on to become one of the band's most recognizable hits, and has enjoyed lasting popularity. Its current music video on YouTube has over 30,000,000 views. ==Song meaning== 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 "I'm 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 Journey's ''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 it's a road song," Cain said. "You know I'm being a good dog out here - don't 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Faithfully (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
