Just a small town girl – Nur ein kleines Stadtmädchen Livin’ in a lonely world – In einer einsamen Welt leben She took the midnight train going anywhere – Sie nahm den Mitternachtszug, der irgendwohin fuhr Just a city boy – Nur ein Stadtjunge Born and raised in South Detroit – Geboren und aufgewachsen in South Detroit He took the midnight train going anywhere – Er nahm den Mitternachtszug, der irgendwohin fuhr A singer in a smokey room – Ein Sänger in einem verrauchten Raum A smell of wine and cheap perfume – Ein Duft von Wein und billigem Parfüm For a smile they can share the night – Für ein Lächeln können sie die Nacht teilen It goes on and on and on and on – Es geht weiter und weiter und weiter und weiter Strangers waitin’ – Fremde warten Up and down the boulevard – Den Boulevard rauf und runter Their shadows searchin’ in the night – Ihre Schatten suchen in der Nacht Streetlights, people – Straßenlaternen, Menschen Livin’ just to find emotion – Leben, nur um Emotionen zu finden Hidin’, somewhere in the night – Versteckt, irgendwo in der Nacht Workin’ hard to get my fill – Arbeite hart, um mich satt zu bekommen Everybody wants a thrill – Jeder will einen Nervenkitzel Payin’ anything to roll the dice – Alles bezahlen, um die Würfel zu würfeln Just one more time – Nur noch einmal Some’ll win, some will lose – Manche werden gewinnen, manche werden verlieren Some are born to sing the blues – Manche sind geboren, um den Blues zu singen Whoa, the movie never ends – Wow, der Film endet nie It goes on and on and on and on – Es geht weiter und weiter und weiter und weiter Strangers waitin’ – Fremde warten Up and down the boulevard – Den Boulevard rauf und runter Their shadows searchin’ in the night – Ihre Schatten suchen in der Nacht Streetlights, people – Straßenlaternen, Menschen Livin’ just to find emotion – Leben, nur um Emotionen zu finden Hidin’, somewhere in the night – Versteckt, irgendwo in der Nacht Don’t stop believin’ – Hör nicht auf zu glauben Hold on to that feelin’ – Halte an diesem Gefühl fest Streetlights, people – Straßenlaternen, Menschen Don’t stop believin’ – Hör nicht auf zu glauben Hold on – Festhalten Streetlights, people – Straßenlaternen, Menschen Don’t stop believin’ – Hör nicht auf zu glauben Hold on to that feelin’ – Halte an diesem Gefühl fest Streetlights, people – Straßenlaternen, Menschen

Don't Stop Believin' by Journey: Song meaning, lyrics, covers and more facts revealed

12 June 2024, 12:28

By Tom Eames

“Just a small-town girl, living in a lonely world…”

Listen to this article

Released in 1981 as part of their album Escape , 'Don’t Stop Believin'' quickly soared up the charts and became an anthem in the US. However, in the UK it would take several decades before it was finally the well-known anthem it deserved to be.

Its infectious melody, heartfelt lyrics, and Steve Perry’s soulful vocals struck a chord with listeners worldwide.

Whether you’re belting it out at a karaoke bar or hearing it during a pivotal movie scene, 'Don’t Stop Believin'' remains a timeless reminder that, no matter the odds, hope persists.

Who wrote 'Don't Stop Believin''?

By the dawn of the 1980s, Journey had begun its ascent to become one of the defining rock bands of the time.

Shifting away from their progressive rock origins, the band welcomed Steve Perry as their lead vocalist, heralding a smoother sound. With hits like 'Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'' and 'Any Way You Want It', they climbed the American charts.

In 1980, Gregg Rolie, the original keyboardist and a veteran since the band's early days, parted ways on good terms, leaving the group without one of its foundational sounds.

He suggested Jonathan Cain from the British band The Babys as his successor. Cain accepted the offer and came on board as the band geared up to produce their album Escape in 1981.

In anticipation of their upcoming project, Journey set up shop in an Oakland warehouse, dedicating their days to refining arrangements and brainstorming fresh concepts.

It was Cain who proposed the title and chorus for the song, inspired by his father's encouraging words during his tough times as a struggling artist on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Whenever Cain considered quitting, his father would remind him, 'Don't stop believing or you're done, dude'.

Neil Schon, the guitarist, crafted the song's memorable bass line, while Perry prompted Cain to create a compelling synthesizer sequence to match it.

Drummer Steve Smith laid down a solid rock rhythm, and directed Schon to layer 16th note arpeggios over the mix, propelling the song forward like a "train" on its course.

What is the song about?

The theme also inspired the song's lyrics. Cain and Perry envisioned a narrative of two people leaving their pasts behind in their hometowns and catching a midnight train to anywhere else.

Perry liked the idea of the characters being a girl from a small town and a boy raised in the city.

"We felt that every young person has a dream and sometimes where you grow up isn't where you're destined to be," Cain said.

Though the lyrics mention being "born and raised in south Detroit," there is no area in Detroit, Michigan commonly called "South Detroit." The city primarily lies on the north bank of the Detroit River, with the Canadian city of Windsor, Ontario, directly south of downtown.

Steve Perry later said: "I tried north Detroit, I tried east and west and it didn't sing, but south Detroit sounded so beautiful. I loved the way it sounded, only to find out later it's actually Canada."

The line "streetlight people living just to find emotion" was inspired by Perry watching people walking in the streets of Detroit at night after a show.

What films and TV shows has it been used in?

The song has been used in many TV shows and movies over the years, as well as being adopted by sports teams.

The song gained significant press coverage and a surge in popularity due to its association with the Chicago White Sox's 2005 World Series championship.

It was also used in the famous final scene of HBO's The Sopranos series finale 'Made in America' in 2007.

For years, the song has been commonly played at Detroit Red Wings home games. During the last minutes of playoff victories, the volume is lowered during the "born and raised in south Detroit" line, allowing home fans to sing it.

GLEE - Don't Stop Believin' (S01 E01 "Pilot")

During every San Francisco Giants home game, the song is played in the 8th inning. Steve Perry, a Giants season ticket holder, famously led the crowd in singing it during a 2014 World Series game.

It was also used in the musical Rock of Ages , including the movie version starring Tom Cruise .

The song saw a resurgence in popularity in 2009 after being prominently featured in the pilot episode of Glee . It was performed a total of seven times on the show, as well as live on tour. The Glee version was a hit in the US and UK at the same time as Journey's original, reaching number two in the latter.

How did it perform in the charts?

The song reached number eight on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and number nine on the Billboard Hot 100.

It sold over a million vinyl copies and is the number one paid digital download song originally released in the 20th century.

Remarkably, it was the 72nd most downloaded song of 2008 and the 84th in 2009, over 27 years after its release.

In August 2009, the song surpassed 3 million paid downloads, making it the best-selling digital song from the pre-digital era. It held the title of the best-selling rock song in digital history until Imagine Dragons' 'Radioactive' overtook it in January 2014.

By 2017, it had sold over 7 million digital units in the US and was certified eighteen-times Platinum by the RIAA.

Released in the UK in December 1981, the song initially only peaked at number 62. Despite not being re-released as a physical single, it maintained a cult following, re-entering the UK Singles Chart in February 2009 at number 94 due to digital downloads.

Following a performance on The X Factor on November 1, 2009, it re-entered at number 52 and climbed to number 19 a week later, staying in the top 40 for three weeks.

On December 20, 2009, after another X Factor performance, it re-entered at number nine and remained in the top 10 for seven more weeks, peaking at number six. It was the 65th best-selling single of 2009, nearly three decades after its release.

'Don't Stop Believin'' spent 21 non-consecutive weeks in the top 40 from November 2009 to April 2010 and was the 25th best-selling track of 2010, with over 435,000 copies sold. It re-entered the charts in 2011, 2012, and 2013, and has spent 95 weeks in the top 100 to date.

In September 2014, the Official Charts Company reported that the song had sold a million copies in the UK.

Real Meaning Behind The Lyrics To Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’

Feature Photo: Bruce Alan Bennett / Shutterstock.com

Our Meaning Behind The Lyrics To Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” article will look at the lyrics to the iconic rock song. “Don’t Stop Believin’” is the second single from Journey’s Escape album. The song was released in October 1981. It was written by Journey’s Steve Perry , Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain . The song is remembered for its opening keyboard riff. “Don’t Stop Believin’” was a Top 10 hit.

The song peaked at number nine on the Hot 100 charts and number eight on the mainstream charts. It became one of the band’s signature songs. Years after the song was released, it became one of the best-selling digital tracks of the 20th century. The popular song received millions of downloads. This is quite an achievement considering this song is decades old. It was picked as one of the best songs of all time. This song has been covered by different artists. It was most famously covered by the cast of Glee .

“Don’t Stop Believin’” is a power anthem. The song is different because the chorus doesn’t appear until the end. Most songs usually have a chorus within the song. It doesn’t usually come towards the end of the song. Jonathan Cain wrote the words as a mantra. The words came to him after a conversation with his father. Jonathan Cain wasn’t sure if he wanted to continue with his music career. He needed money for his dog because it was hit by a car.

He asked his father for a loan and he started to doubt whether he should stay in music. His father gave him the loan and told him not to give up on music. His father told him not to stop believing. The song is about people from different walks of life who face uncertainty. They try to remain positive and realistic about what will happen to them. Our Meaning Behind The Lyrics to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” will give you an idea of what the powerful song is about.

The first line of the song is about a girl from a small town. She is a lonely girl who isn’t happy with her life. She wants more from her life. She decides to take a midnight train going anywhere. This means she wants to take a new journey in her life. She doesn’t care where she goes. She needs something new. We don’t always know where we are going or where we will end up in life. This line indicates that the girl wants to leave but doesn’t know where she is going. We are introduced to a city boy. He was born and raised in south Detroit.

Journey used South Detroit for the boy’s location because nothing else sounded right with the lyrics. Steve Perry tried the other directions, but he loved the idea of using south Detroit. There is no South Detroit, but he liked it. The boy also took the midnight train going anywhere. He is not sure where he is going but he needs a change in his life. This shows that two people from different worlds can have the same problem. The train in this section represents the uncertainty of life and where it will lead you. They don’t have a set destination. They are willing to go anywhere to start a new life.

In the next verse, Journey talks about a singer. The singer is in a smoky room. The room smells like wine and cheap perfume. This indicates that the singer is performing in a small club and not a big arena. The singer is close enough to the audience that he can smell the wine and cheap perfume. This may indicate that he is not a successful singer since he is singing in a small place. He is on stage performing even though he doesn’t know what tomorrow will bring him.

The next line talks about sharing the night for a smile. This could mean different things. This could mean that it takes little for someone to spend the night with you. It could also mean selling your soul to get what you want. It could also mean giving up your freedom for a smile. This line could also mean putting on a mask to hide from society. We tend to give up a part of ourselves to get what we want. In the singer’s case, he wanted to become famous, so he had to do what it takes to please everyone.

The pre-chorus talks about people walking up and down the boulevard. The people are strangers who don’t know each other. They are strangers to each other as well as to themselves. The only thing they have in common is they are looking for something. Their shadows are searching in the night. The shadow represents fear of having to approach strangers or performing at a nightclub. They deal with the fear of possibly getting judged if their performance doesn’t go well.

The next line talks about streetlights people living to find emotion. This line means people who go out to clubs at night and sleep during the day. The emotion they are looking for is intimacy. The line hiding somewhere in the night means they are afraid of their demons. The people can’t see each other when it is nighttime. They don’t have to worry about being judged. They are around other people who are walking around aimlessly.

The next verse talks about working hard to get what you want. This could mean that they are working hard to make ends meet. Everyone has responsibilities that they need to take care of. Things get tough when responsibilities must come before dreams. The next line talks about wanting to get a thrill. This means everyone wants to know what it is like to go after what they want. They love the idea of being able to succeed. The next line talks about rolling the dice when it comes to making your dreams come true.

People will sell their souls for a chance to make their dreams come true. They are willing to do anything and everything to get what they want. People feel like their time is running out when it comes to making their dreams come true. People don’t want to give up on their dreams. They are convinced they can have what they want and are willing to take the gamble one more time to get it.

The next verse talks about some people winning and some people losing. This means some people will achieve their goals while others won’t. Everyone can’t win in life. Unfortunately, some people will lose. The next line talks about people who were born to sing the blues. This means they are not meant to succeed or achieve their goals. They try to succeed but never do. Some people must lose for others to win. The next line talks about the movie never ending. In the lyrics, the movie represents life. Life doesn’t end whether you achieve your goals or not. Life continues to go on.

In the chorus, we are told not to stop believing. This is the most poignant line in the song. This line means we shouldn’t give up on our dreams. You should never stop believing that you can make your dreams come true. Despite the uncertainty, you should never give up on what you want. The people in the song should continue to hold on to hope that they can make their dreams come true. They should continue to be optimistic to achieve their goals even if it looks like they won’t come true. Journey wants people to hold on to their faith. Journey doesn’t want them to give up on making their dreams a reality. If people don’t stop believing, they may achieve what they are chasing.
