| 1 - Of A Lifetime
The mist is slowly lifting
The sound of life misplaced your mind
You're sitting, spellbound thru out time
I hope that you remember what you find
Singin' more of a lifetime
You put it down-all that I'm thinking
But take a long and distant search, when all is right

Да, на этом альбоме нет Стива Перри. Нет задумчивых баллад, в духе "Infinity", "Escape" etc. Поэтому он не такой коммерчески популярный, как эти альбомы. Но! Дебютный альбом Journey - это великолепный прогрессив-фьюжн в лучших традициях Джона Маклафлина, и в музыкальном плане не менее, если не более, интересен.
Здесь наилучшая тема - "Topaz", начинающаяся с тихого гитарного соло, а затем агрессивный фанк и спокойный джаз сочетаются друг с другом в дикий коктейль, и завершается композиция таким же соло. Привлекают разнотемповые "In The Morning Day" и "Kohoutek". Отличное вступление со зловещим космическим характером "Of A Lifetime". Есть в ней что-то от No Quarter, но вряд ли эту схожесть можно было бы назвать плагиатом. Между двумя вышеупомянутыми колоссальными инструменталами очень грамотное связывающее звено "To Play Some Music", а в конце альбома во иногом дублирующая её "Mystery Mountain". Ну и сентиментальное попурри "In My Lonely Feeling/Conversations" выше всяких похвал.
Итак, 10 баллов. Музыка ради музыки, а не ради денег (хотя и в музыке ради денег Journey тоже преуспели). |

You can't look down but you're no worse.
Singin' more of a lifetime
The countless visions that are drifting
The silver dreams you hate to lose.
There's no harm. We've all been waiting.
Well keep your faith. Do what you choose.
Singin' more of a lifetime
2 - In The Morning Day
Everybody's got the blues
In the morning day, yeah
If you find the answer
And you wonder
Let's find a way
I want to give you happiness
Just like the sun gives to the day
I'd like to make you mine yeah
I'm gonna make you mine
Just like a blinding dream
Yeah, you're gonna be with me
Strolling through a summer's breeze,
And you find it's not the rain,
Leaving wrong behind you,
All your fantasies so very plain.
I want to give you happiness
Just like the sun gives to the day
I'd like to make you mine, yeah
I'm gonna make you mine
Just like a blinding dream
Yeah, you're gonna be with me.
3 - Kohoutek (Instrumental)
4 - To Play Some Music
Say everybody
And everyone
We've been waitin', so very long
To play some music
And have some fun
Bring some happiness to everyone
Well come with us and try and learn
What's on your mind
Open your ears and eyes and let's see what you can find
You're not so different, I don't mean to be unkind
Something's unfolding if you really take the time
So let the sun shine
It's just begun
You've given all you could to anyone
Well don't you lose it
Don't run away
It's getting stronger, day after day
You're sittin' there, you say you're
Waiting for the show
And what you have, and what you
Hear is what you really want to know
You've only come here 'cause here's
Nowhere else to go
We're only sorry, that we have
To end the show.
Play some music
Play some music
Play some music
Play some music
Play some music
Play some music
Play some music
Yeah
5 - Topaz (Instrumental)
6 - In My Lonely Feeling/Conversations
In my lonely feeling
From my darkest dreams,
I go on through days
As I wonder,
Always changing
Forever dreaming
Am I the master of my soul?
Now my reason's changing.
Fear has faded away.
No more days of my wonder,
Can't stop feeling,
No disbelieving,
Yes, I'm the master of my soul.
7 - Mystery Mountain
Mountain of mystery,
Rising high above the clouds.
Mountain of magic,
Standing tall and proud,
Your magical veins
Flowing silver and gold,
Your cumulus cloud glows misty red,
As Apollo sets beyond your head.
Releasing the pressure built over the years
The mountain is crying hot lava tears
Molten rock created under vibrations of
Sub-terranean thunder
Ejecting boulders like pieces of sand
The mountain is
Giving birth to the land.
Under your feet you feel a rumble
As thousands of rocks are starting to tumble
Above the trees where the buzzard flies
Swirling vapors begin to rise
Beneath those misty peaks you hide
A tremendous force boiling deep inside.
