Daughtry Drops New Music Video for Journey's Cover Song “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” featuring Lzzy Hale
American rock band Daughtry has dropped a new music video for American rock band Journey's cover song “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)”.
The song features American rock band Halestorm's vocalist Lzzy Hale and was released back in January.
The original version of the song was released by Journey from their eighth studio album “Frontiers” in 1983. It was written by Jonathan Cain and Steve Perry.
Chris Daughtry said of the video, “This was an unexpected video in a lot of ways. I don't think either of us, Lzzy or myself, were actually 'dressed' for a video shoot. We were basically just trying to get some b-roll to capture the studio experience of recording this track. But when we got the footage back, it was like, 'Well... This looks way cooler than I expected, so... I guess we have a music video now?' Haha. It was the most low-key, low-pressure video I've ever done.”
Lzzy Hale added, “There's a magic that happens when you decide to do a project with people you've adored for years. We cultivated that chemistry into such a beautiful launch point, and 'Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)' is the result of that friendship. Thank you to everyone for giving this song wings, and thank you to the incredible Daughtry for inviting me to fly alongside!”- Chris Daughtry said of the song, “I've always loved the song and I was wanting to do a classic cover and my wife and I were watching the 'Stranger Things' season finale and there's this incredibly intense scene and 'Separate Ways' was a big part of this scene. It was so moving just the way it was used, it felt so cool and epic and I was immediately like 'THIS is the one! We have to cover this song.' Then I was, like, 'How can we make this extra special? What if it was a duet? What if we got Lzzy on it!!??" Needless to say I was pumped she said yes and I absolutely love how it turned out.”
Lzzy Hale said, “Chris Daughtry and I have been threatening to unleash a duet for years. What better way to do that than by paying tribute to one of our mutual influences…. JOURNEY! This song is not only part of the 'Stranger Things' soundtrack, but has been my go-to for karaoke for as long as I can remember! I'm so honored to have been a part of this and I hope it makes you smile as big as I did while recording it!” - source : Apple Music
