Song of the Week
November 25th
It Won't Be You
S. Perry; A. Gurvitz and T. Brock
Greatest Hits + 5

A song that has so much yearning and also an almost dream-like quality to it. "When I think about you I still get weak".
The guitar solo in the center of the song adds a Spanish/Latin flavor to the song, that just puts another level of interest into it. You can easily see Steve singing this song outside of a Spanish Villa or courtyard.

For the touching lyrics go here

Thanks Jan, for the beautiful lyric page and for posting a preview this morning!

Author: Katrina Laura [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 16:26:55 11/30/02 Sat One of soo many songs of Steve Perry's that I love. I can identify with the lyrics of the song. I also noticed the spanish sound and love it all the more since I adore latin music as well. I wonder has Steve ever thought of doing a latin album? I'm sure it would be a smash.

Author: Jan [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14:27:38 11/25/02 Mon It's one of my (many) favourites off GH+5. It's so yearning, it just seems to demand attention because of that alone.

(thud...boing... poor Bob the Sock Monkey will not be able to contain himself). Definitely one of my absolute, all time Steve Perry Favorites! Excellent choice! Kate (ps...I miss you guys!!!)

This song tops one of my personal favorites from the GH+5 LP.
The way he sings about the love that he had, lost and longs for is just so magical. He knows that whoever he chooses next won't compare to what he lost. It just is a wonderful song that I can get lost in.
The lyric "When I think about you I still get weak" is truely a work of art.
Great song pick.
