Arnel Pineda, who turns 42 this year, has been performing in bands since he was a teenager, and by now he has mastered virtually every kick-ass lead-singer move known to rock. He can launch his compact body off the drum riser and land without twisting an ankle. He plays excellent microphone-cord air guitar. He knows when to do the reach-out-and-touch with the fans in the front row and when to turn the microphone stand upside down and lift it above his head, as if calling down the lightning. He knows how to do these things because he is a professional lead singer and a good one, which means he is a virtuoso whose instrument is his own charisma. He is also adept at the parts of the lead-singer job that involve singing.
Faithfully
Arnel Pineda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin all my love
Along the wire
They say that the road
Aint no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin a music man
Aint always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours... Faithfully
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you
And being apart aint easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours... Faithfully
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Faithfully, I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours... Faithfully
The song "Faithfully" by Arnel Pineda talks about the difficulties in maintaining a relationship while being on the road for a long time. The lyrics suggest that the singer is a musician, and that his partner is struggling to cope with being apart from him. The opening lyrics describe the long highway journey into the "midnight sun," suggesting that the couple is separated geographically. The wheels going round and round show the repetitiveness of the touring life, perhaps implying the passing of time without the lover around. The heart is restless, and the lover knows that her partner is also alone tonight, feeling lovesick and missing her dearly. The singer acknowledges the hardship of his chosen profession on their relationship that is causing them to be apart but assures his lover that she is always on his mind, and he is sending her his love with every wire.

Highway run
Traveling on a road
Into the midnight sun
Going towards the sunset
Wheels go round and round
The tires keep rolling
You're on my mind
Thinking about my loved one
Restless hearts
Uneasy emotions
Sleep alone tonight
Not having someone by my side to sleep with
Sendin all my love
Expressing love
Along the wire

Never thought that there is any person on the whole planet who could replace Steve. But, dude! What a voice! Arnel did a great job!
D & P Flack
He sounds just like Steve perry. Dude
Duane Elsbree
He does a great job, but he is NOT as good as Perry.
He does have a similar signature, which most people think of as sounds the same as. I am a fan, but technically, no one touches Perry.
Nataly Guevara
Nope, NOONE can replace Steve. PERIODT.

Even the crowd can sing in tune. Truly, the land of singers.

Karaoke is super popular in the Philippines. I love cultures that enjoy singing in public, without shame or embarrassment or worrying about whether or not they’re “good enough”, the land of singers is a great way to phrase it
