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.
Do you and your road traveler have a song (maybe one not quite so sad) that reminds you of each other, reminds you to stay strong when you’re apart?
Ironically, one of MY favorite songs today is one I disliked before my husband and I got together. I even remember telling him I hated the song (for a trivial reason).
“Three Days” by Pat Green. I disliked it because I felt he did this echo thing in it that I found dumb. Heh.
But living “the life” today I appreciate it a lot more.
Well, between the two of y’all I definitely shed a few tears. Journey did it mostly, but Pat Green, you said it, three days. Those three days are all too familiar to me. It’s been our life this year. Home late Sunday/early Monday, gone Thursday morning. My job is not limited to weekdays, therefore I can usually schedule at least one of those “three days” off… so we have time to actually be together. Making time to be together when they’re home is so important. Squeezing in an actual “date night” on one of those days is icing on the cake.
