Journey - "After The Fall"
from the album Frontiers (1983)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #23 (one week)

Today's Song of the Day is by Bay-Area arena-rock gods Journey, who released their eighth studio album, Frontiers, in 1983, which scored them another top-10 hit with "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)", as well as their concert staple "Faithfully". For their third single, the group released "After The Fall", which like "Separate Ways", was written by lead singer Steve Perry with keyboardist Jonathan Cain, and like that song, dealt with breaking up...

"After The Fall" reached the top-30 on both the American pop and rock charts, theirseventh top-40 hit in a row.
