![]() “Jonathan Cain came to Journey with this melody already written. Anyway, years before his one-hit wonder Waite was in a British rock group called the Babys, and had Waite liked the melody, “Open Arms” would’ve never been Journey’s song sing and make into an iconic ballad.Īccording to the story told by Songfacts, song co-writer (and Journey band member) Jonathan Cain co-wrote “Open Arms” while with Waite in the Babys, and the song was originally pitched to Waite, but he wasn’t a fan. Every 80’s fan recalls John Waite, who scored a huge hit single with “Missing You” in 1984, right? That’s actually a rhetorical question. Here’s a fun story about “Open Arms” I was oblivious to until recently.
