To promote the release of a Journey Greatest Hits compilation in the U.K., Steve Perry gave a rare interview with Nicky Horne on Planet Rock radio this past wednesday. Perry confirmed that he has written some songs and recorded demos but apparently nothing close to a new album just yet. He also mentioned during the interview that he misses performing for fans but doesn’t miss the limelight. Another interesting tidbit from the radio segment is that Perry always wanted to be a radio DJ. Horne, the interviewer, was delighted to hear of this and even invited Perry to join the staff at Planet Rock. heh, heh.

anyway, a fellow fan MerryPeary posted the audio of the interview on youtube so be sure to check out the following links and listen for yourself:

Perry noted that “Trial by Fire” and “Don’t Stop Believin’” were two songs of his that helped him through some rough times.

I absolutely love Neal Schon’s tasteful guitar work on this song.

Treasures in the jars of clay
Let the light shine out of darkness
Fallen down but not destroyed
It’s just another trial by fire

In my doubt I can’t believe
Like a wave tossed where the wind blows
Tears of faith temper my soul
Just another trial by fire…
- written by Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain
