TRINITY'S TIME WARP DANCE:: BUTTERFLY CHAOS THEORY: FOREVER YOURS FAITHFULLY

Published on Nov 18, 2015

Just my crafty "Twisted Purple C.racked O.ut W.hore" way of trying to get the attention of Emory University's Office of the President and it's Candler School of Theology;
a Methodist story I'm needing help telling.

"I have to tell you, you make people uneasy."

~(Rev. Josh Amerson: Associate Pastor Glenn Memorial UMC)~

As it's not entirely my fault...OUR...story is such an important part of my story, this is not the same as saying I've done wrong; others a right refusing me the opportunity of them hearing what I'm wanting to say.

"We are going to have to start accepting...OUR FAIR SHARE...of the negativity or we are only going to continue attracting...MORE...9/11's for all of us."

~(Simply Jim: Methodist Fag the Political Catalyst)~

"YOU'RE OUT TO CHANGE THE WORLD!"

~(Agnostic "Alcoholic" Anonymous)~

"Yes!

Already have!

Isn't the way the world
~(IS:IS)~
nothing more than the sum of all of us?

As we all arrive at the future at the same rate of sixty seconds per minute,
I began changing the world the very second I was conceived;
haven't stopped since."

~(Simply Jim:01)~

So...

how does one be one with God?

I'm guessing...

when your time is up..?

"Faithfully"

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart
Ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Whooa, oh-oh-ooh
Whooa, oh-oh-ooh, oh
Whooa, oh-oh-oh, oh-whoooooa-oh
Faithfully
I'm still yours

I'm forever yours
Ever yours
Faithfully

"Faithfully" is a song by the band Journey, and the second single from their album Frontiers. The song is a power ballad and was written by Jonathan Cain. It peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving the band their second consecutive top twenty hit from Frontiers. Despite featuring no chorus, it has gone on to become one of the band's most recognizable hits, and has enjoyed lasting popularity. Its current music video on YouTube has over 30,000,000 views.

The song describes the relationship of a "music man" on the road. The difficulties of raising and maintaining a family, two strangers having to fall in love again, and staying faithful while touring are brought up. However, he suggests that he gets the "joy of rediscovering" her, and insists "I'm forever yours... Faithfully."

Journey keyboard player Jonathan Cain wrote this song about the rough relationship being a married man on the road in a Rock band. Cain and his wife divorced a few years later, despite him pledging in the song to be "forever yours... faithfully."

According to the liner notes in Journey's Time3 compilation, Cain paid tribute to road manager Pat Morrow and stage manager Benny Collins when he wrote "we all need the clowns to make us smile." He told me he got the melody out of a dream," said Neal Schon. "I wish something like that would happen to me." "Basically it's a road song," Cain said. "You know I'm being a good dog out here - don't worry about it."

Like "Rosanna" by Toto, this contains lyrics delivered by the lead singer but written by another member of the band, which led many fans to believe Steve Perry wrote the song about a particular girl.

The music video featured a then-unique "life on tour" theme parallel to the song's lyrics, showing the band's performances in different venues and their travels around the USA. Steve Perry can be seen shaving his short-lived but talked-about moustache in the video. This video utilized footage from the documentary video Journey: Frontiers and Beyond narrated by John Facenda, voice of NFL Films, shortly before his death in 1984. The concept of the "road video" was later utilized by several other bands & artists, including Bon Jovi, Guns N' Roses, Genesis, Mötley Crüe and Richard Marx.

Bryan Adams opened for Journey on their 1983 Frontiers Tour, and during that time wrote the song "Heaven", which was heavily influenced by "Faithfully". The "Heaven" recording features Journey drummer, Steve Smith.
