Anytime (1978) Journey


Anytime (1978) Written by Robert Fleischman, Gregg Rolie, Neal Schon, Roger Silver and Ross Valory; Performed by Journey



Journey figures heavily into Rehearsal over the years, since Susie adopts a few Journey songs as special to her.

Anytime has several writers, mostly band members, and it showcases the beautiful harmonies that help Journey stand out. Both facts are reminiscent of the way Raucous shares songwriting duties more as time passes, as well as sharing lead singing duties and solos to help each member stand out. They're very much in it as a team and want each other to look as good as possible. They're also big on close harmonies, which is pointed out by several reviewers.

The song is also a metaphor for the way Susie always makes her time and energy available to the band when they need her, even at her own expense. The repetition of "anytime that you want me, anytime that you need me" echoes how often she says, "What do you need?" and "How can I help?"
