"Feeling that Way", occasionally known as "Feeling that Way (When Summer's Gone)",[1] is a single released by American rock band Journey in 1978. The song was first an instrumental entitled "Velvet Curtain" that was shelved until Gregg Rolie decided to rerecord it with words and change the name to "Please Let Me Stay". It was originally going to be put on their third album Next but was pulled off at the very last minute. When Steve Perry joined the band, he rewrote the song yet again adding a fresh new chorus and sharing lead vocals with Gregg Rolie. The song was finally released on the 1978 album Infinity. The song was a minor success, only reaching #83 on Billboard Hot 100. Like other singles from the album, such as "Wheel in the Sky" and "Lights", a music video was produced for the song. This song is usually, if not always paired with the song "Anytime" either on classic rock radio or in concerts. Also, even though this was a charting single, this song wasn't released on the Greatest Hits or the first issue of The Essential Journey. The 3.0 limited edition copy of The Essential Journey and Don't Stop Believin': The Best of Journey have this track.
The song starts out with Gregg Rolie singing the first verse and playing the piano. After the first verse, the rest of the band starts to perform and Steve Perry sings the chorus. Starting near the end of the song each band member together sings the line "Feeling that Way" continuously throughout the rest of the song.
