Journey - Don't Stop Believin'
[Verse 1]
Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
[Verse 2]
A singer in a smoky room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
[Chorus]
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the nights
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night.
[Verse 3]
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
[Chorus]
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night.
[Hook x3]
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlights people
Don't stop believin'
Streetlights people
Don't stop believin'
Streetlights people
Don't stop
"Don't Stop Believin'" is a classic rock anthem and power ballad by the American rock band Journey. The song debuted on their 1981 album Escape. The song is considered by many to be the band's signature song. The song is well known for its lyrics and its distinctive chorused piano introduction, described by Allmusic as "one of the best opening keyboard riffs in rock." The song has been included in many TV shows and movies, including The Sopranos, Family Guy, Glee, Scrubs, and the movie Bedtime Stories. It is also frequently played at Detroit Red Wings hockey games, with the music being cut during the line "born and raised in south Detroit" so that the entire arena can sing in unison. The song reached #8 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, and #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also peaked at #62 on the UK singles chart. In 2006, it was ranked as the 11th greatest song of the list of the 100 greatest songs of the '80s by VH1. It is the most downloaded song not released in the 21st century of all time in the iTunes Music Store and was the 72nd most downloaded song of 2008 in the store, over 27 years after its release. The song is one of the most popular rock tracks in Ireland and continues to remain in the top ten most downloaded songs. The track surpassed one billion streams on Spotify in 2022.
