Journey - Only the Young

Only the Young by Journey Song Info

Only the Young" is a song recorded by the American rock band Journey in 1983. Previously intended for the Frontiers album, it was pulled from the album within days of recording in favor of songs "Back Talk" and "Troubled Child". The song was eventually released as a single (which reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart in March 1985) and appeared on the soundtrack for the 1985 film Vision Quest. The song's lyrical theme focuses on young people and the hope and future they all have in front of them. The song's first live performance was for a young boy named Kenny Sykaluk who was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. His mother wrote a letter to the band telling them about her son's terminal condition, and how big a fan he was of Journey. The band flew to his hospital bedside at the request of the Make a Wish Foundation. Along with a Walkman containing the new track, the band also brought Kenny a football helmet signed by the San Francisco 49ers and an autographed Journey platinum record award. The experience of playing the song for Kenny left Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain deeply affected. Perry said "As soon as I walked out of the hospital room I lost it". Perry also says "The nurses had to take me out of the room". On VH1's Behind the Music featuring the band, Cain broke down in tears recalling the event, remarking that "children should not have to live with that kind of pain". Kenny died the next day, with the Walkman still in his hand. The song brought life into perspective for the band and left them humbled. Neal Schon said that Kenny's death affected Journey by making them re-evaluate the issues that were causing friction inside the band itself. In honor of Kenny Sykaluk, the band used the song as their opener for the Raised on Radio Tour. The song was also recorded by American rock band Scandal in 1984. The song was featured on their album The Warrior.

- Five for Frontiers

I just bought the album but not off itunes cause i didnt know it was on here. but w/e it is an Amazing album and the piano doent take over the guitar or vocals. best album of journey raised on the radio is also amazing.

- Awesome Escape follow up.

This album is a great follow up to Escape. It has a few more 80's-ism's, but in my opinion that's a good thing. It's two bonus tracks "Ask the Lonely" and "Only the Young" were meant to be on the album originally, but were pulled in favor of "Back Talk" and "Troubled Child". "Ask the Lonely" and "Only the Young" were later put on movie soundtracks.

- BEST

THIS IS ONE OF JOURNEYS BEST ALBUMS. THAT GOES TO SHOW YOU HOW WE PERCEIVE MUSIC DIFFERENTLY AS I THINK THIS ALBUM WAS THE BEST SOUNDING AND BEST RECORDING.

- JOURNEY “FRONTIERS” – The Best Album from One of Rock’s Greatest Bands!

While Journey’s ESCAPE may have wider public acclaim, FRONTIERS is my favorite Journey album of all time. Containing radio staples like “Separate Ways”, “Send Her My Love”, and “Faithfully”, FRONTIERS also explores less radio-friendly, harder-edged musical territory than previous or subsequent albums. Fan favorites “Chain Reaction” and “Edge of the Blade”, as well as the moody "Troubled Child" and the title track are all integral to FRONTIERS, and now Journey has finally added back originally-cut hits “Only the Young” and “Ask the Lonely” as bonus tracks. Also included are the Perry/Schon gem “Liberty” and a slightly different version of “Only Solutions”. An unbeatable song line-up, combined with new 2006 re-mastering, make Journey “FRONTIERS” the best re-release of 2006!
