Faithfully - Journey

"Oh girl, you stand by me.
I'm forever yours, faithfully."

Raise your hand if you saw Glee perform this song on their finale last week - I did too!!!

"Faithfully" by Journey is one of my favorite songs ever written. It's one of those great power ballads that came out at the perfect time in music history, and will live on for, hopefully, much longer than it's been around so far.

Released in 1983, "Faithfully" reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, and describes the relationship of a man on the road and how difficult it can be to maintain a family while traveling so much.

It's also one of Journey's (and the world's) most recognized songs, and will forever maintain its popularity.

One of the Best Karaoke Songs of All Time

Alyssa, no matter what anyone tells you, the band Journey ROCKS!

And their most popular song has got to be "Don't Stop Believin'"

Being played everywhere from karaoke bars, sporting events and dance clubs, "Don't Stop Believin'" is amazing. The chorused piano introduction has been described as one of the best opening keyboard riffs of all time.

In 2006, VH1 ranked this song as the 11th greatest song of the 1980s, but no one needed VH1 to rank it for us to know that it is awesome.

Recently covered on the 2009 hit show Glee, "Don't Stop Believin'" has reached a few new listeners lately. But we can't forget where it came from...




Okay, and here you can hear the Glee version, because I really like that show too.
