Journey - Any Way You Want It

Any Way You Want It by Journey Song Info

Any Way You Want It is a popular song performed by Journey released on the album Departure as the opening track, as a single in 1980 and was rerecorded with Arnel Pineda and Deen Castronovo for their 2008 album Revelation. The song was written by frontman Steve Perry and guitarist Neal Schon. It peaked at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The band often plays it to close their concerts. It appears on all four of the band's live albums (Captured, Greatest Hits Live, Live in Houston 1981: The Escape Tour, and Revelation on DVD). The song was named the 80th best hard rock song of all time by VH1. Since its release, the song has continued to infiltrate public consciousness due to its use in television advertisements by popular brands such as Heinz, McDonald's, Ford and Samsung. It has been used in films such as Caddyshack and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and was covered in the episode "Journey" of the musical TV series Glee in a mash-up with another Journey song, Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'. 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.

- ok this is why i wish i wasn't born in 1993

as you can see by my title...i really really wish i had been around when they were huge. but i'm not. so i get them through CD!!!!!!! i got this two disc album for my 13th birthday (hahaha...i also got tom petty & the heartbreakers greatest hits...hahaha) but anyway this is the second best album ever!!!!!!!!! second only to fleetwood mac's "the dance." yea i'm thinking that you should buy this whole thing...or at least the greats like "don't stop believin'" "any way you want it" "lights" and "open arms"<3<3<3<3<3

- This cd is ok

it had all of journeys greatest hit but also some of their worst songs it was just to big they should of kept it down to the first cd

- The classics will live forever!

I have always listened to Classic rock. I have Loved Journey since the 80's. I got hooked after listening to wheel in the sky on the radio in '83. The only other band that I prefer to Journey is The Jimi Hendrix Experience. This album I a must have for a Journey Devotee. If you Cant get the whole thing than get Don't Stop Believin, Wheel In The Sky, Any Way You Want It, Lights, Faithfully And Open Arms.

- JOURNEY BEST CD EVER

I LOVE JOURNEY I LOVE EVERY SONG TO BAD HE LEFT THE BAND THERE WILL NEVER BE JOURNEY WITHOUT STEVE PERRY

- I LOVE JOURNEY

Journey is one of my all-time favorite bands and this was the cd that introduced me to them, I had heard a couple of their songs on the radio and thought they were a pretty good band so when I saw this CD in the store I went a head and bought it. It is probably one of the best cd purchases I have ever made. So if you are looking for a great cd than look no farther cause you've found it!

- All the best in one place!

As a hardcore Journey fan, I own all of their vinyl, CDs, etc...but this is the CD I go to time and time again. It has all of their best hits in one place. This is a must have for all Journey fans.

- A Definite Must!!!

This double-disc compilation is, without a doubt, the best Journey compilation out there. Almost every song is a must, and when you can purchase all 32 tracks for just 20 dollars, why hesitate? That's like getting twelve greats for free! The first disc is basically a slightly expanded version of their outstanding Greatest Hits CD. On this disc, you'll find almost every song from their Greatest Hits album, along with two other good songs ("When You Love a Woman" and "After the Fall"). Although my favorites from this disc are "Only the Young," "Don't Stop Believin'," "Faithfully," "Any Way You Want It," "Ask the Lonely," "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)," "Girl Can't Help It," and "Send Her My Love," every track on this disc is a must. The second disc contains a number of huge hits, mixed with great, lesser-known songs. My favorites here are "Chain Reaction," "Line of Fire," "Stone In Love," "Be Good to Yourself," "Still They Ride," and "Escape." But, once again, they are all great. Don't even hesitate to press the "Buy Album" button for this one. The only real exception would be if you are like me and already own their Greatest Hits disc. In that case, just get the best ones not covered on their Greatest Hits, and that should do the trick. If you're new to the band and are hesitant about spending twenty dollars on them, go for their Greatest Hits, and then come back here and to their core albums if (or should I say "when?") you want more. There are a few minor hits (such as "Where Were You," "Keep on Runnin'," and "City of the Angels") that aren't covered on this collection, but this does an outstanding job of capturing the band's very best. In summary, if you're looking for a thorough and definitive collection of Journey's greats without having to sort through heaps of filler, definitely look no further than "The Essential Journey." This collection really lives up to its name. Hope this was helpful, and happy listening =)

- Definitily Essential...

This is arguably one of the better put together "Best of..." compilations in recent memory. It is a great mix of all their early stuff leading to thier creative high points of the early 80's. It gives you a glimpse into how great this band was and how tight a set they delivered in concert. This really does flow much like one of thier concerts. Neil Schon was great guitarist and provided a nice counterpunch to Steve Perry's melodic vocals and the lyrics were perfect for thier collective talents. It is a must have for any Journey fan and if you enjoyed 80's Rock then this is a great trip down memory lane. I highly recommend it

- Not All Essential

Great group. Great songs. I've given this album 4 stars because it lacks the top 40 hits, Walks Like A Lady and Suzanne which peaked at numbers 32 & 17 respectively on Billboard. Other than those 2 omissions all their top 40 hits are here.
