Jourey - Escape. I prefer the 3 Journey records that lead up to this one. Those being 1978: Infinity, 1979: Evolution, and 1980: Departure. Escape is pretty good - but by now, they sort of either went Corporate or jumped the shark. Escape's side one is pretty strong though. My favs are Stone in Love and Keep on Runnin'. The last song on side two is Open Arms, which is in 3/4 or waltz time. That is rare in rock. But this is a slow power ballad. 3/4 time is song signature, comprising three quarter notes to a bar. It has a basic feel of one two three (as in a waltz). ONE two three. Like that. My uncle played this song and made a recording of it that he later used for a pairs skate (roller) program. I thought that was very cool.
Thanks for the credit, Curtie
ReplyDeleteBack in the day I grew weary of the corporate, catchy one word album titles, but you know these albums wore kinda well over the years!
