Two Great Unknown/Underrated Songs From Journey: "Feeling That Way" and "Anytime"

You get a bonus today with the feature The Top Unknown/Underrated Songs of the Rock Era*.  Both these songs from the album Infinity deserve recognition.  It was a time when Steve Perry had just joined the group, and Journey would soon become arguably the most talented group in the world.

But Infinity was just the precursor to all of that.  Most music fans had not heard of Journey at that time, and they missed a great album.  These two tracks were set up to play back-to-back on the album, and Journey still performs them together because they sound incredible together.  Both "Feeling That Way" and "Anytime" should have been Top 10 songs long before their first Top 10, "Who's Crying Now" in 1981.

Enjoy!

"Feeling That Way"
 
Opened my eyes to a new kind of way
All the good times that you saved
Are you feeling,
You feeling that way too
Or am I just,
Am I just a fool

When the summer's gone
She'll be there standing by the light
Once she's been to where she's gone to
She should know wrong from right

A new road's waiting, you touched my life
Soft and warm on a summer's night
You're the only one, the only one I love
The lovely one, I'm thinking of
 
 
 
 
"Anytime"

 
Ooh, ooh Anytime that you want me
Ooh, ooh Anytime that you want me
Ooh, ooh Anytime that you want me to
Ooh, ooh Anytime that you need me

I'm standing here with my arms a mile wide
Hoping and praying for you
Listen to me and enlighten me
I hope that you need me too, 'cause,

Ooh, ooh Anytime that you want me
Ooh, ooh Anytime that you want me
Ooh, ooh Anytime that you want me to
Ooh, ooh Anytime that you need me

Give me all of your sunshine
A spark is all I need
To take away, all of the shadows
Well what more can I say.
Anytime at all
Anytime at all
Anytime at all
