Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain from one of America’s most popular rock bands Journey watched their bandmates guitarist Neal Schon and bassist Ross Valory go through caustic divorces. The palpable stress that affected the musicians became the inspiration for one of the band’s greatest hits. Separate Ways, Worlds Apart has become their signature rock song. It’s one of the toughest song for any singer to take on and Steve Perry knocks it out of the park. As perfect of a rock song as it is... It also has some baggage. It has one of the cheesiest music videos ever put to film. Even the band admits it. but this song just had major pop culture renaissance 40 years after its peak. on Stranger Things It’s all coming up NEXT including an interviews with band member Neal Schon on Professor of Rock.”

It’s time for another edition of number one in our hearts where we break down a song that was so phenomenal, so superior, it should’ve been a #1 hit on the hot 100 but for reasons unknown came up short. Today we are looking at a song that was the heaviest rock song from a legendary band that got close to the #1 spot. It went to #8 and has since become a rock standard. One of the most played ever by one of America’s greatest bands Journey.

This song absolutely moves the needle. It’s loud… It’s abrasive in a good way and it has shaken stadiums for decades and most don’t realize the song is actually about DIVORCE… Let me explain…

Divorce is powerful content for a songwriter. It’s one of the most emotionally traumatic events that a person can go through, especially for a rock n’ roller who is constantly away from home, playing hundreds of shows a year, in city after city. Throughout the Rock Era, there have been many divorces among notable artists, and songs written about those breakups.
