On this day, January 5, 1983, Journey released the single Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) from their album Frontiers. This powerful rock anthem became one of the band’s most iconic tracks, blending Steve Perry’s soaring vocals with Neal Schon’s electrifying guitar riffs.

The song peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a staple of 80s rock radio. Its themes of heartbreak and resilience resonated deeply with fans, making it a defining track of Journey’s career. The accompanying music video, featuring the band performing in a warehouse, gained notoriety for its unique (and often parodied) style, showcasing the quintessential 80s aesthetic.

Fun Fact: Separate Ways was written in just 45 minutes while the band was on tour, proving the synergy and talent of Journey during their peak years.

What’s your favorite Journey song? Does Separate Ways rank as one of their best for you?
