Songfacts®:

  • This haunting ballad was written by Journey keyboard player Jonathan Cain.
  • This song was aptly titled as when it entered the Top 10 of the Adult Contemporary chart in August 2008, it became the first AV Top 10 entry for the band since "When You Love a Woman" dropped out of the upper tier in April 1997, all those years ago.

  • Eliana from CharlestonLove that song. Arnell nails every note. I wish I could have gone to one of Journey’s concerts in their hay day. To hear that silver tongue rascal, Steve Perry, sing “Faithfully” live would have made my life’s journey (no pun intended) so much better.
  • Great Job Guys from TxIts too bad Journey came to an end. I guess go out on top.
  • Keitha from MissouriThis song brings me to tears. My husband and I are going on 38 years of marriage and have stood the test of time. Good times and the bad here we still stand. Beautiful song Journey.
