Song Information
According To Cowriter Steve Perry The Song Was Heavily Influenced By Irish Rock Band Thin Lizzy And More Particularly By Bassist Leader Phil Lynott. In July 1979 Journey Was Touring With Thin Lizzy Across The United States When Lynott Perry And Schon Decided To Share Rhyme Scheme Exercises During A Hanging Out In Miami. The "basic" Work On "the Guitar-Vocal-Guitar-Vocal Interchange Thing That Happened Between Phil And His Lyrics And The Guitarist And His Arrangements Inspired The Any Way You Want It Sorta Give And Take Thing. It’s Guitar-Voice Guitar-Voice More Guitar-Guitar-Guitar-Voice. It Be Voice-Voice And Back And Forth And That’s Something That Neal And I Think Just Instinctually Picked Up By Hanging Out With Him" Commented Perry. Schon And Perry Would Then Rework On The Song In The Band Bus With Schon On Acoustic Guitar And Perry For Vocals. Lynott's Contribution Later Influenced Other Songs Built On The Same Scheme Such As Stone In Love. For The Studio Version Keyboardist Gregg Rolie Originally Used A Mellotron But Since It Was Defective Co-Producer Geoff Workman Decided To Fix The Sound By Doubling It With Rolie's Regular Organ In The Final Mixing Creating The Unique Sounding Background Support For The Song.
