Oh Sherrie – Steve Perry
Journey front man Steve Perry wrote the song “Oh Sherrie” in 1984 for his first solo album. The song became a hit. His longtime girlfriend at the time was Sherrie Swafford, who was the inspiration for the song. Their relationship became strained when Perry’s mother became very ill and when Journey hit its peak popularity.

Our House – Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young
“Our House” by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young celebrates “an ode to countercultural domestic bliss.” Graham Nash penned the song while he was living with singer Joni Mitchell while Deja Vu and Crosby, Stills & Nash were being recorded. He wrote the song in one hour, after the two went out for breakfast and bought a vase together on Ventura Boulevard.
