Journey: Any Way You Want It

Audio Preview

Description

This ten-track collection brings together some of Journey's most well-known songs in solo piano form, spanning their run through the late 70s and 80s.

Lights takes a soft, mellow rock approach that fits the song's already wistful character, the melody given a gentle, relaxed treatment that suits its San Francisco origins. Loved by You takes a more detailed, transcription-focused approach, staying close to the original's chord movement and structure with careful attention to the melodic phrasing throughout.

Don't Stop Believin' and Any Way You Want It are the most upbeat entries in the set, and both are settled into a steadier, more even pace in piano form, their arena-rock energy replaced by a consistent left-hand pattern. Open Arms and Faithfully are the most naturally suited ballads here, both already built on slow, piano-friendly chord progressions in their original recordings. Separate Ways and Who's Crying Now sit in the middle of the tracklist, their melodic hooks carrying clearly even with the guitar-driven energy of the originals stripped away. When You Love a Woman and Send Her My Love round out the slower half of the album, both moving at a steady pace that matches the overall tone of the collection.

With ten tracks spanning their most successful years, the collection covers enough ground to work as both a familiar listen and a different way into a well-known catalog.
