Hvem sang when the lights go down in the city sangen?
Journey
Lights (Journey song)
Sangen er en ballade om Journeys oprindelsesby, San Francisco, selv om den faktisk blev skrevet i og oprindeligt var tiltænkt at handle om Los Angeles. Det var en af Steve Perrys første Journey-sange, og den blev indspillet kort efter, at han var kommet med i bandet. I et interview sagde Perry: "Jeg havde sangen skrevet i Los Angeles næsten helt bortset fra broen, og den blev skrevet om Los Angeles. Det var 'når lyset går ned i byen, og solen skinner på LA.' Jeg kunne ikke lide den måde, den lød på det tidspunkt. Så jeg havde den bare liggende i et hjørne. Så ændrede livet mine planer endnu en gang, og jeg stod nu over for at blive medlem af Journey. Jeg elsker San Francisco, bugten og det hele. 'The bay' passede så godt, 'When the lights go down in the city and the sun shines on the bay'. Det var en af de der tidlige morgener, hvor man går over broen, når solen står op, og lyset går ned. Det var perfekt."
Journey
Lights (Journey song)
The song is a ballad about Journey's city of origin, San Francisco, although it was actually written in and originally intended to be about Los Angeles. It was one of Steve Perry's first Journey songs, and was recorded soon after joining the band. In an interview, Perry said, "I had the song written in Los Angeles almost completely except for the bridge and it was written about Los Angeles. It was 'when the lights go down in the city and the sun shines on LA.' I didn't like the way it sounded at the time. And so I just had it sitting back in the corner. Then life changed my plans once again, and I was now facing joining Journey. I love San Francisco, the bay, and the whole thing. 'The bay' fit so nice, 'When the lights go down in the city and the sun shines on the bay.' It was one of those early-morning-going-across-the-bridge things, when the sun was coming up and the lights were going down. It was perfect."
