Follow 17 fans

Journey is an American rock band formed in 1973 in San Francisco by former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred between 1978 and 1987, after which it temporarily disbanded. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981's "Don't Stop Believin'", which became in 2009 the top-selling catalog track in iTunes history. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band's eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, "Open Arms". Its 1983 follow-up, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band's ap… more »

Journey – “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” Lyrics Meaning

Joanna holds a BSc in English Literature and uses her expertise in literary analysis to uncover the deeper meaning of her favorite songs.

If you’re looking for the quick lowdown on Journey’s “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart),” here it is: This classic rock anthem explores the emotional landscape of love, loss, and the lingering hope for reconciliation. At its core, the song speaks to the difficulty of moving on when love still exists, despite the physical or emotional distance that separates two people. Whether it’s about a specific person or not, it captures the universal anguish we all feel when love doesn’t go as planned.

Ready to dig deeper? Stick around and unlock the treasure trove of meanings behind this unforgettable tune.

Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) Lyrics Meaning

Let’s start with the first line: “Here we stand, Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two.” The repetition of the word “two” emphasizes the divide. These are two distinct people, deeply connected yet painfully separated. The ‘worlds apart’ bit isn’t just physical distance; it can also mean emotional or ideological gaps that are just as hard to bridge.

Then comes, “Sleepless nights, Losing ground, I’m reaching for you, you, you.” The sleepless nights could symbolize the restlessness that comes with unresolved feelings. The narrator is ‘losing ground,’ a metaphor for emotional instability and turmoil. Yet, in spite of all this mess, there’s still a yearning, a ‘reaching’ for the other person. This tug-of-war between moving on and holding on is what makes the song so relatable.

“No! No!” This strong negation punctuates the song. It can be seen as a vehement refusal to let go or an inner struggle between what the heart wants and what reality dictates. We’ve all been there, haven’t we?

“Someday love will find you, True love won’t desert you, You know I still love you.” This is an emotionally packed segment. It’s like a bittersweet goodbye mixed with a hope for the future. Even if they have to go their ‘separate ways,’ the love still lingers. The narrator leaves us with a conflicting message: that true love will eventually find you, yet admits that despite the separation, love still exists between them. It’s as if saying that finding ‘new’ love doesn’t necessarily mean erasing the ‘old’ love. It leaves a lingering question: Can we ever truly move on?

The Story Behind “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)”

When this song was written in the early ’80s, Journey was at the peak of their career but also facing significant internal challenges. Tensions were high; relationships were strained, mirroring the theme of separation and unfulfilled love. Frontman Steve Perry has been somewhat private about the song’s specific inspiration, but given the period of turbulence, it’s likely that the song was a cathartic release for the emotional complexities he was experiencing at the time. This lends even more weight to the lyrics and its message, don’t you think?

Expanding on that, it’s worth noting that the ’80s were a time of great transformation, both in music and society. Traditional views on love and relationships were being questioned, and the song resonates with that period of change. The juxtaposition of synthesizers with raw vocal emotion in “Separate Ways” also reflects this duality of change and tradition, something that was very much a part of the era’s cultural fabric.

Another interesting point is the song’s music video, which was one of the earliest to lean heavily into the emerging MTV culture. The video, cheesy by today’s standards with air instruments and intense staring, further underlines the tension and disconnect the song talks about. This visual interpretation provides yet another layer of context to what the songwriter might have been going through—a need to adapt to new modes of expression while staying true to emotional authenticity.

So, considering the backdrop of a changing music industry, societal shifts, and internal band dynamics, “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” serves as a timeless expression of love, longing, and the complexities of human emotion. It’s a melting pot of sentiments, backed by a story that complements its depth.

New Journey Book Takes Definitive Look At the Band’s History

From the publisher’s announcement: Journey started as a dream for former Santana road manager Herbie Herbert, who thought he could build a blockbuster band out of the remnants of post-Woodstock Santana with Gregg Rolie and Neal Schon. Turns out, he could – but it would take a few albums, and the arrival of frontman Steve Perry. By the time Rolie exited at the turn of the ‘80s, Journey was already a multi-platinum band – and they would only get bigger with the addition of Jonathan Cain from Journey’s former opening act, The Babys.

Solo projects and long periods apart slowed their momentum until Perry finally left for good in the late ‘90s. Then Journey was faced with one of its biggest challenges: Whether and how to move forward without the singer who had redefined their sound forever on songs like “Open Arms,” “Only the Young” and “When You Love a Woman.”

The story is guided from their earliest roots by conversations with co-founding members Schon and Rolie, and Prairie Prince, along with long-time Herbert confidant Pat Morrow. DeRiso then follows Journey toward music superstardom through additional talks with later-era collaborators Cain, Steve Smith, Deen Castronovo, Steve Augeri and scores of producers, sidemen, label representatives and various industry veterans like former Rolling Stone contributing editor David Wild, original MTV VJ Martha Quinn, and longtime San Francisco Chronicle music writer Joel Selvin, the latter of whom covered Journey almost from the beginning. The title takes a similar approach as a definitive series on Eagles  from the same publishing company.

A sample two-page spread from the Journey: Worlds Apart book (Used with permission of the publisher)

Journey: Worlds Apart emerges as the definitive look back at Journey, with deep explorations of every era, every album and every song. Pathway collaborations and key side projects complete this detailed analysis, as DeRiso speaks with John Waite, Jan Hammer, Marco Mendoza, Ron Wikso and others.

Spanning 417 pages, this extensive Journey history contains dozens of rare photos from across the years. Also, it includes an exclusive appendix of never-before-seen concept art, designs, sketches, and illustrations of Journey projects — some accepted and some that never made it to production — from the masterful hand of famed rock illustrator Stanley Mouse.

Author DeRiso is currently assistant managing editor with Townsquare Media.

Time Passages To Launch Journey: Worlds Apart, Definitive Bio Of World-Famous Rock Band

Time Passages will publish JOURNEY: WORLDS APART, the definitive accounting of the multiplatinum “Don’t Stop Believin’” Rock and Roll Hall of Fame hitmakers written by award-winning journalist Nick DeRiso, on December5, 2023. 

A multiple “Columnist of the Year” award-winner for the USA Today network, DeRiso conducted dozens of interviews to compile a book that’s much more than just a detailed band biography – it’s an all-access backstage pass for casual and devoted Journey fans alike. 

Journey started in the San Francisco Bay area as a dream for former Santana road manager Herbie Herbert , who thought he could build a blockbuster band out of the remnants of post-Woodstock Santana with Gregg Rolie and Neal Schon . Herbert achieved that lofty goal, but it would take Journeya few albums and the arrival of front man Steve Perry to secure the band’s success. By the time Rolie exited at the turn of the ‘80s, Journey was already a multi-platinum juggernaut – and would only achieve greater fame and fortune with the addition of Jonathan Cain from one of Journey’s former opening acts, The Babys . 

Solo projects and lengthy periods apart slowed Journey’s momentum until Perry finally left for good in the late ‘90s. Then the band faced one of its biggest challenges: whether and how to move forward without the singer who had redefined their sound forever on songs like “Open Arms,” “Only the Young,” and “When You Love a Woman.”

DeRiso then follows Journey toward its pop-culture superstardom through additional conversations with later-era collaborators Cain, Steve Smith , DeenCastronovo , Steve Augeri , plus scores of producers, sidemen, label representatives, and acknowledged experts including former Rolling Stone contributing editor David Wild , original MTV VJ Martha Quinn , and longtime San Francisco Chronicle music writer Joel Selvin , the latter of whom covered Journey from the band’s earliest days.

Description

Jam band.  Arena rockers.  Pop-culture icons.  Rock and Roll Hall of Famers.

Journey’s story, like the band’s varied and exciting discography, has many chapters. Long before “Don’t Stop Believin’” became a zeitgeist-shifting phenomenon, Journey was just a dream that rose from the ashes of Santana. Then they became a juggernaut, selling more than 100 million albums worldwide on the strength of favorites like “Any Way You Want It,” “Open Arms,” and “Separate Ways.”

But success did not happen overnight, and was not easily maintained. Soaring vocalist Steve Perry eventually completed Journey’s hitmaking sound alongside stalwart guitarist Neal Schon, Gregg Rolie, and then Jonathan Cain. But Perry's tenure would not last, and this fracture threatened to re-define the band forever.

Journey: Worlds Apart author Nick DeRiso traces this incredible odyssey through each era, each album, and each tour. This is much more than just the history of Journey; it’s an all-access backstage pass.

"From 'Don’t Stop Believin’' to 'Separate Ways,' Journey unconsciously wrote the band’s own autobiography in their songs. Nick DeRiso’s Worlds Apart follows that long, strange Journey from the stage of Woodstock to Trump’s Oval Office in almost granular detail, detailing a long-running battle of the band. A must-read for all Journey fans." — Joel Selvin, former music critic, San Francisco Chronicle

US fall apart as Colombia give them a latin lesson ahead of the Copa America

By Paul Nicholson

June 9 – Billed as a warm-up for Copa America and a step on the US team’s journey to their 2026 home hosting of the World Cup, the US were brought down to earth with a bang following a 5-1 dismantling at the hands of Colombia.

The US are ranked 11 th in the world, one place ahead of Colombia. The match should have been a hard fought battle between two teams close together in abilities and ambitions. It was far from it.

Things won’t get any easier for the US as they play Brazil in their last friendly before the Copa America on Thursday.

On June 23 in Arlington, Texas, the US open their Copa America campaign, but on this showing it will be a short one.

The loss to Colombia ended the US’s unbeaten 21 game run (the last seven matches were straight wins) while it extended Colombia’s unbeaten run since a 1-0 defeat at Argentina in a World Cup qualifier on February 1, 2022.

For the first time in US national team history, there was not one player in the starting 11 who plays their club football in the US. The opening line-up featured players whose clubs are in England, Germany, Italy, Spain and France.

Colombia took the lead in the sixth minute when James Rodriguez threaded a pass that went off the left leg of a sliding Antonee Robinson to Jhon Arias who took a touch and then beat Matt Turner at his near post.

Colombia were two up 13 minutes later when the US defence failed to deal with a Rodriguez corner but which fell to Rafael Santos Borré who scored with an overhead kick.

Where the US huffed and puffed and failed to show any real spark, the Colombians were cooking with gas in what was a classy performance.

Just before the hour Tim Weah pulled a goal back and it looked like it might be game back on.

Colombia weren’t having any of it and with three goals in 11 minutes from Richard Ríos, Jorge Carrascal and Luis Sinisterra late in the second half, made their point.

US coach Gregg Berhalter has to now motivate a talented group of young players who looked down and out ahead of what could be a dispiriting summer for the US if he gets it wrong.

BLABBERMOUTH.NET uses the Facebook Comments plugin to let people comment on content on the site using their Facebook account. The comments reside on Facebook servers and are not stored on BLABBERMOUTH.NET. To comment on a BLABBERMOUTH.NET story or review, you must be logged in to an active personal account on Facebook. Once you're logged in, you will be able to comment. User comments or postings do not reflect the viewpoint of BLABBERMOUTH.NET and BLABBERMOUTH.NET does not endorse, or guarantee the accuracy of, any user comment. To report spam or any abusive, obscene, defamatory, racist, homophobic or threatening comments, or anything that may violate any applicable laws, use the "Report to Facebook" and "Mark as spam" links that appear next to the comments themselves. To do so, click the downward arrow on the top-right corner of the Facebook comment (the arrow is invisible until you roll over it) and select the appropriate action. You can also send an e-mail to blabbermouthinbox(@)gmail.com with pertinent details. BLABBERMOUTH.NET reserves the right to "hide" comments that may be considered offensive, illegal or inappropriate and to "ban" users that violate the site's Terms Of Service. Hidden comments will still appear to the user and to the user's Facebook friends. If a new comment is published from a "banned" user or contains a blacklisted word, this comment will automatically have limited visibility (the "banned" user's comments will only be visible to the user and the user's Facebook friends).
