Frogtoon Musique - Informations sur la chanson: Wheel in the Sky
"Wheel In The Sky" Is A Song By The American Rock Band Journey Recorded In 1977 And Included On Their Fourth Studio Album Infinity. It Was Written And Composed By Robert Fleischman Neal Schon And Diane Valory. At The Time Of The Song's Composition The Band Had Decided To Follow A New Direction Into An Edgier Sound And Began Recording Simple Hard Rock Pieces With The New Lead Vocalist Fleischman. He Was Replaced By Steve Perry Once Work On Infinity Began In Earnest. The Song Started As A Poem Titled "Wheels In My Mind" Written By Diane Valory The Wife Of Journey Bassist Ross Valory. Cash Box Said It Has "tight Lick Guitar Work And Effective Lead And Backing Vocals." "Wheel In The Sky" Reached #57 On The Billboard Hot 100 In 1978 Becoming Journey's First Song To Chart On The Hot 100 And Also Reached #45 On The Canadian RPM 100. The Narrator Of "Wheel In The Sky" Describes The Newly Arrived Winter As He Is Lamenting Not Having Been Home "in A Year Or More." He Is Missing Home And Longing To Return And Reconnect With An Unnamed Woman And He Hopes That "she Holds On A Little Bit Longer." He Sings Forlornly Of "running Down A Dusty Road" And Admits "I Can't Take This Very Much Longer." Throughout The Refrain Narrator Notes The "wheel In The Sky" Which "keeps On Turning " And Hence Can Be Interpreted As Diane Valory's Metaphor For The Various Twists And Turns Of The Narrator's Life On The Road As He Repeatedly Emphasizes "I Don't Know Where I'll Be Tomorrow." Alternatively The Wheel In The Sky Has Often Denoted The Sun Which "keeps Turning" In Its Apparent Revolutions Around The Earth And With Each Successive Turn Marks The Passage Of Another Day Bringing One Closer To An Anticipated Date Or Event And In This Case The Narrator's Reunion With The Woman.
