Justin Moore’s “With a Woman You Love” arrived at a dynamic time for the chart-topping artist: Released on Oct. 10, it's the first musical offering since his April album, Straight Outta the Country, which dropped a few months before he notched his 10th No. 1 single with “We Didn’t Have Much.” Now back on the road after a year of cancelled and rescheduled shows, Moore is gearing up for the release of another LP, due out in 2022. Despite the hectic times in which Moore released “With a Woman You Love,” the blazing anthem tells the story of a man calming down and learning to lead a domestic life with the woman he loves. Co-written by Moore, Paul DiGiovanni, Chase McGill and Jeremy Stover, it is the first sampling of Moore’s forthcoming album, giving a sonic taste of what’s to come. Below, Moore shares the story behind "With a Woman You Love," in his own words. I was probably driving around in my truck or something and the idea just hit me … We wrote it down in Florida, where I’ve written a lot of my recent stuff. You know, we’re a group of married guys, and we’re talking about the fact that all that stuff you say, like, “Hell, I’d never go to the mall and hold her purse” — all these things you think you’d never do, well, you will with a woman you love. And, you know, it’s not anything earth-shattering. The idea has been written before, but I think it was well done, and, to be quite honest, I’m really happy with the track. It just reminds me of something I heard on the radio in the early-to-mid-'90s. See Country Music's 50 Greatest Love Songs:
Welcome to Music Friday when we bring you sensational songs with jewelry, gemstones or precious metals in the lyrics or title. Today we feature Journey’s romantic, Grammy-nominated anthem, “When You Love a Woman.” In the memorable refrain, lead vocalist and songwriter Steve Perry sings, “When you love a woman, you can see your world inside her eyes,” and describes the joy that lasts forever as “a band of gold that shines.” Originally released in 1996 as the lead single off the group’s Trial by Fire album, “When You Love a Woman” quickly ascended to #1 on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary chart and topped out at #12 on the U.S. Hot 100. In 1997, the song earned a Grammy nomination in the category of Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group. Former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch formed Journey in San Francisco in 1973. After a long string of hits, the group disbanded in 1987 only to reunite in 1995. When lead singer Steve Perry went down with a hip injury and was unable to tour in 1998, the group made numerous — and mostly unsuccessful — attempts to fill Perry’s very big shoes. Finally, in 2007, original band member Neal Schon was viewing Journey covers on YouTube when a video by Filipino Arnel Pineda caught his attention. Pineda had a golden voice similar to Perry’s and Journey had their man. He has been singing lead vocals for Journey ever since. We invite you to enjoy the video at the end of this post. It’s Pineda’s interpretation of “When You Love a Woman.” The lyrics are below if you’d like to sing along. “When You Love a Woman” In my life I see where I’ve been I said that I’d never fall again Within myself I was wrong My searchin’ ain’t over… over I know that…
Journey’s 1996 LP Trial by Fire was supposed to be beginning of a whole new chapter for the San Francisco soft rock band. They hadn’t worked together during the past ten years, a difficult time when frontman Steve Perry largely disappeared from the public eye and guitarist Neal Schon and keyboardist Jonathan Cain found minor success with their new supergroup Bad English. But in 1994, Perry returned with the new solo album For the Love of Strange Medicine, which he supported with a brief tour. When it wrapped, he phoned up Journey and said he was ready to finally make new music again. The first anyone heard of the album was the kickoff single “When You Love a Woman,” which hit radio in July of 1996. It was a radically different pop landscape than the one they left 10 years earlier, with “Macarena” topping the charts alongside hits by Jewel, Alanis Morissette and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. The song still managed to connect with audiences hungry for Journey and it reached Number 12 on the Hot 100, setting the album up very nicely for a Number Three debut on the album chart a few months later. This was the era of the mega-reunion tour with Kiss, Page & Plant and the Eagles all making a fortune on the road flogging their oldies, but Journey managed to one-up them by having a new hit. It even won a Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group. The obvious next move was to hit the road and start raking in millions. They signed Irving Azoff as their manager, the best-equipped person on the planet to make that happen. Everything was coming together when Steve Perry injured his hip on a hike in Hawaii. The group grew incredibly frustrated as he kept delaying a decision about whether or not to get hip replacement surgery. Meanwhile, the album was falling down the charts and they were losing a lot of hard-earned momentum. Perry felt pressured to make a very difficult medical decision, and the situation quickly got ugly. In 1998, the group couldn’t wait a minute longer and made the choice to hit the road with replacement singer Steve Augeri. Journey wouldn’t stand on stage with Steve Perry again until the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony last week. Even that occasion wasn’t enough to get him to actually sing with them, meaning that Trial by Fire remains the last time they made music together. Check out the “When You Love a Woman” video to see the final gasp of Perry-era Journey.
In my life I see where I've been
I said that I'd never fall again
Within myself I was wrong
My searching ain't over and over
I know that When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes
When you love a woman
(Well) You know she's standing by your side
A joy that lasts forever
There's a band of gold that shines
Waiting somewhere, oh, yeah If I can't believe that someone is true
To fall in love is so hard to do
I hope and pray tonight
Somewhere you're thinking of me girl
Yes I know, I know that It's enough to make you cry
When you see her walking by
And you look into her eyes When you love a woman
When you love, love, love, love
When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes
