Flashback Friday: Finish This Song - March 20, 2009
March 20th, 2009 by World Wide EdHo, da feedback for last week's "Name That Tune" contest is still coming in as I write this (Tuesday), and it took on a life of its own over time. To accommodate the interest, let's switch it up a bit this week and make it a finish that song game, ala Don't Forget the Lyrics/The Singing Bee. I'll start with the first line to the song, and the next person commenting will add the next line. Getum? Gotum? Good! We go!
I met a boy who didn't know...
I know, I know... easy, but we gotta pick one that more peepo know right? 
Talk to me!
* Post your comment with the next line to the song.
* Add any stories or memories you have when you hear this song.
* If you have any other comments about the song or performer, add those too k?
Happy Aloha and Flashback Friday y'all! Have an awesome weekend! Shoooooots!

Time for a new song? This one should be pretty easy ...
"With a little love, and some tenderness ..."
March 24th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
"We'll walk upon the water
We'll rise above this mess"
March 24th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
"With a little peeeace and some harmony"
As a side note, I'm diggin' his new country song "It Won't Be Like This For Long."
March 25th, 2009 at 1:44 am
my fave journey is the one with the soaring guitar solo at the end with the big smashing cymbal.. when they do it on stage, the cymbal lights up when he smashes it..
daa-aah aah-ah-aahh da-da-da-daah-da (pause) CRASH.. da ah ah aaah..
daa-aah aah-ah-aahh da-da-da-daah-da (pause) CRASH.. da ah.ah aaah..
(repeat)
it's the (up) da-da-da (back down) daah da part that's the signature riff in dis one..
March 25th, 2009 at 5:48 am
we'll take the world together
we'll take 'em by the hand...
whoo whoo! NeedaHobby made me break out my Hootie and the Blowfish! The CD reminds me of many road trips to Vegas - great album to cruise in.
@uncle j - thanks, eh? I woke up early and ended up listening the ending of every Journey song I have on my ipod. Still can't figure it out. Gave up and listening to some Hootie now.
March 25th, 2009 at 7:34 am
it's the one when performing live they alter the lyric to..
"journey's on the road again".. and the crowd goes wild..
that cymbal is called the high-hat..
March 25th, 2009 at 7:47 am
@uji - am I thinking of the right Journey song?
"You make me weep and wanna die
Just when you said we'd try ..."
March 25th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
NeedaHobby:
I thought of that song too but doesn't the end go..na na na or whatever. No guitar solo either on the original version.
Steve Perry can squeeze me anytime! Wonder if he still wears those tight pants?
If it's a specific live version, we need VIDEO.
March 25th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
needs, you're right, that's another great one, but the one i'm thinking of isn't quite so bluesy, but rather more soaring ethereal type..
the whole last half of the song is this guitar solo/ high-hat cymbal crash sequence, with SP dropping some short lines like..
roses never fade...
memories remain...
don't give up yet kate..
March 25th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
@uji - yes, that's a good jurrnay song!
@needa - that's the one - . . . You're tearing me apart, every, everyday, you're tearing me apart . . .
March 25th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Jimmy,
Thanks for the extra lyrics. While washing the dishes tonight I listened to a lot of Journey. Here it is -
It's been so long
since I've seen her face
You say she's doing fine
I still recall a sad cafe
How it hurts so bad to see her cry
I didn't want to say goodbye
Send her my love
memories remain
send her my love
roses never fade
send her my love
I didn't realize you were such a romantic! Journey really did have some great romantic songs. This one is very sad. I don't think I can listen to it too much right now. I'm having a tough week so I can't handle the sad songs; it will make me cry.
