My favorite dark Journey tunes...

Postby G.I.Jim » Sat Mar 28, 2009 1:45 pm

Journey just amazes me sometimes as a band, and I've never heard a band out there that has so much power and soul in their songs. I figured I'd post a thread about some of their "Darker" songs with a lot of minor chords. They're my favorite, and I think that's where Perry really shined. I'll just post a few, and leave some for you to post...hope you enjoy these songs as much as I do! :wink:

good to hear Winds Of March again. I always love the song and Perrys' voice on it.

Not sure if I'd call it dark, but Daydream is quite different musically. I like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-euFxTbfSzo

Walking Away from The Edge is a great "dark" Journey tune from Red 13. One of my favorites from the Augeri era and they've never played it live unfortunately, but I can probably understand why.
