"Mother, Father" is a song by the American rock band Journey, released in 1981 on their album "Escape." The song was written by Steve Perry, Neal Schon, and Jonathan Cain, three members of the band.
"Mother, Father" is a heartfelt ballad that explores themes of family, love, and longing. The lyrics reflect on the complexities of relationships with parents, expressing both appreciation and a sense of unresolved emotions. The song features powerful vocals by Steve Perry and signature guitar work by Neal Schon.
"Mother, Father" is often regarded as one of Journey's underrated gems, showcasing the band's ability to blend rock with emotional depth. It may not have achieved the same commercial success as some of their other hits from the "Escape" album, such as "Don't Stop Believin'" or "Open Arms," but it remains a fan favorite and is appreciated for its poignant lyrics and musical craftsmanship.

I don’t think it’s hard for him technically-wise, but the emotions one has to pull off to be able to perform it…

@ruthlafler5622 13 күн бұрын

@@angelotrinidad6888 I think it's both, because he uses different vocal techniques as the song progresses: he starts with his regular voice, then to more of a grittier rock style, then into a heavy soul style, seamlessly dropping back into his regular voice on the choruses, and then whatever it is at the end (it's hard to tell if it's just the far upper range of his regular voice or falsetto). The piano solo at the end is actually only in the live versions to give Steve a break.

@barbjhix 7 күн бұрын

Steve vocals in this song for outstanding as always but I don't think that this is his hardest to cover song. There's a song called Lay it Down that his vocals slide up and down the scale, effortlessly, it's just amazing. There are some channels on here where Voice coaches analyze the song Lay it down and give you kind and overview of the notes he's singing as the scale up and down..... And it's pretty freaking impressive. I hadn't listened to lay it down since I was a kid, my mind was just really blown now that I know a lot more about music

I HIGHLY recommend “Wheel In The Sky”! If you guys are impressed with Perry here, you’d discover in the referenced tune that his vocals are unsurpassed! Journey was popular just prior to my Senior year in high school but was far from a “novelty” band then. Listen carefully to Perry in the referenced tune as he accompanies the outstanding guitar solo of Neal Schon. Perry carries 6 full bars of 2 notes without any stress to his vocals or taking a breath! Schon’s background includes having been with Carlos Santana for two years. He’s outstanding! Johnathan Cain is quite the accomplished pianist. I’m also quite accomplished in composing and performing classical but Cain would be a challenge for me! He’s capable of anything from classical, gospel-as he’s now recording, rock, R&B and soul! Steve Perry has now recorded 4 solo albums with the last 2 recorded in 2018. He’s now 75 and recording. Rumor has it that he may tour again. Regardless, my drug of choice will always be Steve Perry!!!❤

@DavidMartin-tc1gl 27 күн бұрын

This is the best song on the Escape album, in my opinion. Guitarist, Neil Schon, said as much, also. It's perfect songwriting and powerful. Steve's vocals on this live version, especially at the end, is just mind boggling. I saw them live the following year and could not believe what I was hearing. For heavier and edgier songs, try "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) off the Frontiers album or ""La Do Da" off the Infinity album. The Infinity album showcases their heavier side.

You showed an interest in Jon Cain, the pianist. He comes from Chicago, his parents sent him to a Catholic school where he was one of the only survivors of a massive fire. His Father became obsessed with the idea that God had saved him for something special, and had visions of him performing before thousands of people. He was therefore sent to a music conservatory and put under pressure to realize his Father's dreams. The extended solo at the end was to give Perry a chance to catch his breath before the next song. Even though his taste ran more to bubblegum than rock, he was a godsend to the songwriting team of Perry and Schon because neither of those musical geniuses could read or write musical notation.

It was a movie soundtrack song for "Quest for Camelot".
