Don't Stop Believin' by Journey

I have to admit, it was only recently that i became familiar with this song, particularly when it was used as a background for the Soprano's final scene. And it Journey's new singer being a Filipino (Arnel Pineda), it got curiouser for me.

The song is driven by a strong bass line and piano riff and a powerful vocal. Neal Schlon's guitar work ain't bad either.


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

A singer in a smokey 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

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

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 were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people
