Best Lyrics:

And being apart ain't 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

Don't Stop Believin'

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

Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)

Someday, love will find you Break those chains that bind you One night will remind you How we touched and went our separate ways

If he ever hurts you True love won't desert you You know I still love you Though we touched and went our separate ways

Who's Crying Now

One love, feeds the fire One heart, burns desire I wonder who's crying now? Two hearts, born to run Who'll be the lonely one? I wonder who's crying now?

Any Way You Want It

She said, any way you want it That's the way you need it Any way you want it

I was alone I never knew What good love could do Ooh, then we touched Then we sang About the lovin' things

When the lights go down in the City And the sun shines on the bay Ooh, I wanna be there in my City, oh Oh, oh, oh

Only the Young

Shadows of a golden age A generation waits for dawn Brave carry on Bold and the strong

Only the young can say They're free to fly away Sharing the same desire Burnin' like wildfire

Wheel in the Sky

Winter is here again, oh lord Haven't been home in a year or more I hope she holds on a little longer Sent a letter on a long summer day Made of silver, not of clay I've been runnin' down this dusty road

Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' I don't know where I'll be tomorrow

Stone in Love

In the heat with a blue jean girl Burning love comes once in a lifetime She found me singing by the rail road tracks Took me home, we danced by the moonlight

Those summer nights are calling Stone in love Can't help myself, I'm falling

Send Her My Love

Callin' out your name I'm dreamin' Reflections of a face I'm seein' It's her voice That keeps on haunting me

Send her, send her my love Roses never fade Memories remain

Still They Ride

Spinning 'round, in a spell It's hard to leave this carousel 'Round and 'round And 'round and 'round

Still they ride, on wheels of fire They rule the night Still they ride, the strong will survive Chasing thunder

Feeling That Way

Opened my eyes to a new kind of way All the good times that you saved Are you feeling You feeling that way too Or am I just Am I just a fool

Girl Can't Help It

If he could hold her, so close in his arms again If she could show him The letter her heart forgot to send why They're livin' dreams on their own Ooh they'll never stop running

The girl can't help it, she needs more He hasn't found what he's lookin' for They're still standing in the rain He can't help it, and she's just that way

Ask The Lonely

You've got some fascination With you high expectations This love is your obsession Your heart, your past possession Let down your defenses Won't be up to the one who cares

Touchin', Lovin', Squeezin'

It won't be long, yes, till you're alone When your lover, oh, he hasn't come home 'Cause he's lovin' who he's touchin', he's squeezin' another

He's tearin' you apart Ooh, every day, every day

I'll Be Alright Without You

I'll be alright without you Oh love's an empty face, I can't replace (You don't need it) People wonderin' why we broke apart The great pretender here I go again These things I do (It's all because of you) I'll keep holdin' but I'll try (Try not to think of you)

Mother, Father

Through bitter tears And wounded years, those ties Of blood were strong So much to say, those yesterdays So now don't you turn away.

Hey, mother, father, sister Hey, come back, tryin', believein' Hey, mother, father, dreamer

Just The Same Way

Take a chance now the timing's right. You're free to leave the key to my life. Stay with me. Won't you stay the night, In the mornin' feelin' fine, yeah.

That's the same way you love me.

Be Good To Yourself

Runnin' out of self-control Gettin' close to an overload Up against a no win situation Shoulder to shoulder, push and shove I'm hangin' up my boxin' gloves I'm ready for a long vacation

Be good to yourself when, nobody else will Oh be good to yourself You're walkin' a high-wire, caught in a crossfire

When You Love A Woman

When you love a woman You see your world inside her eyes When you love a woman (Well) You know she's standing by your side A joy that lasts forever There's a band of gold that shines Waiting somewhere, oh, yeah

I see your face at the movies I hear your voice on the radio You're making love on the silver screen I want you more than you will ever know Temptation...Infatuation

Suzanne, don't walk away

The Party's Over (Hopelessly In Love)

So I will tell you this, Our love is in a fix. Just what more can I do. When I'm hopelessly in love with you?

Why Can't This Night Go On Forever

Lost in twilight, the memories Precious moments, you and me We've been old friends, all through the years Picture postcards, sharing tears

What's in our hearts, there's never time, to say Need you tonight, lover don't fade away I've seen your city lights As I walk away Why can't this night...go on forever

After The Fall

But a head strong stubborn man Only works it out the best he can Valentines he never sent There's not enough time he's a working man

Can't stop falling Heartaches calling Finds you after the fall

After All These Years

A faded wedding photograph You and me in our first dance Our eyes are closed We're lost in one sweet embrace Since those days the world has changed But our love remains the same God knows we've had our share of saving grace

Where Were You

I didn't know what the hell was goin' on, Someday you're gonna break. So don't try to get yourself straight, You're just a little too late.

Notably, it featured rhythm guitarist George Tickner, a unique inclusion in their lineup. Prior to this release, Journey recorded a demo album, featuring the same songs but in a different order and with Prairie Prince as the drummer.

“Look into the Future,” Journey’s second studio album, marked a shift in the band’s musical direction upon its January 1976 release through Columbia Records. While tempering the overt progressiveness of their debut self-titled album, this sophomore effort still retained elements of experimentation, notably in tracks like the title song and “I’m Gonna Leave You.” The album also featured a cover of The Beatles’ “It’s All Too Much” from the Yellow Submarine film. “Look into the Future” stands out as the longest recorded Journey song. Notably, this album saw the departure of rhythm guitarist George Tickner, leaving behind a lineup that included Gregg Rolie, Neal Schon, Ross Valory, and Aynsley Dunbar.

3. Next (1977)

I Would Find You
Here We Are
Nickel and Dime

“Released in 1977, ‘Next’ stands as Journey’s third studio album, a continuation of their signature sound that melded elements from 1976’s ‘Look into the Future’ with traces of their earlier jazzy progressive rock style. Notably, ‘Next’ marked the end of an era, being the final album to showcase Gregg Rolie as the primary lead singer. The album’s single, ‘Spaceman’/’Nickel and Dime,’ was a notable release. Interestingly, an instrumental track titled ‘Cookie Duster’ was initially listed on early pressings but not included. ‘Next’ reached No. 85 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and witnessed the beginnings of lead vocalist Robert Fleischman’s journey with the band, setting the stage for the group’s evolving musical direction.”

Simultaneously, it marked the end of an era, being the final album to feature drummer Aynsley Dunbar.

Produced by Roy Thomas Baker, known for his work with Queen, the album featured the hit “Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’,” their first top 20 single, and “Just the Same Way,” which showcased both original lead vocalist Gregg Rolie and Steve Perry.

Featuring the hit track “Any Way You Want It,” which also made it to the top 25 singles chart, “Departure” showcased a slightly edgier sound due to its unique “live in studio” recording approach. The album included three singles, with “Walks Like a Lady” and a medley of “Good Morning Girl” and “Stay Awhile” also making their mark on the charts.

Notably, this album marked the departure of founding member Gregg Rolie and paved the way for Jonathan Cain to join the band. In subsequent years, “Departure” underwent remastering and reissues to introduce bonus tracks for fans worldwide.

The album, with nine tracks, includes vocals on “Destiny,” “Sand Castles,” and “Little Girl,” the latter becoming the B-side of “Open Arms.” This soundtrack also holds historical significance as it was the last studio album featuring founding member Gregg Rolie. While the film remained relatively obscure, the album remains a unique chapter in Journey’s musical journey.

This album marked a significant transition as it was the first without founding bassist Ross Valory, replaced initially by session bassist Bob Glaub and later by Randy Jackson. Drummer Steve Smith contributed to select tracks but was eventually replaced by session drummer Larrie Londin and later Mike Baird for the subsequent tour. The album was a commercial success, yielding three top 20 singles in the US, including “Girl Can’t Help It,” “I’ll Be Alright Without You,” and “Suzanne.” It reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart and achieved double platinum certification in the USA.

“Trial by Fire,” the tenth studio album by American rock band Journey, released on October 22, 1996, marked a significant reunion. It brought together the classic 1981–1985 lineup, which hadn’t recorded together since 1983’s “Frontiers.” Produced by Kevin Shirley, the album featured bassist Ross Valory and drummer Steve Smith, rejoining since “Frontiers” and marked the final collaboration with vocalist Steve Perry. Notable tracks include the Grammy-nominated hit “When You Love a Woman” and spiritually-inspired songs. Despite its success, it’s the only Journey album without a supporting tour, due to internal disputes and Perry’s hip injury. “Trial by Fire” reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum.

“Arrival,” the eleventh studio album by the iconic American rock band Journey, made its debut on April 3, 2001, following a Japanese release in 2000 with one substituted song. This record marked a significant transition for the band, as it introduced new lead vocalist Steve Augeri, taking the reins from the beloved Steve Perry, and featured Deen Castronovo as the new drummer, succeeding Steve Smith. “Arrival” showcased a blend of hard rock influences reminiscent of the band’s ’70s and ’80s material, alongside signature ballads akin to Perry’s style.

A distinctive feature of this album was that all band members shared lead vocal duties, driven by Augeri’s vocal fatigue. Critical reception was mixed, with praise for Augeri’s performance and the band’s diverse musical direction, but uncertainty about the vocal-sharing decision. The album peaked at No. 170 on the Billboard 200 chart, and Augeri left the band during the 2006 tour due to a throat infection, marking the end of an era for Journey’s sound.

Additionally, the North American version included a DVD capturing the band’s energetic March 8, 2008 concert in Las Vegas. Notable singles like “Never Walk Away,” “Where Did I Lose Your Love,” and “After All These Years,” penned by Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain, found success on the adult contemporary charts. The album received positive reviews, lauding Pineda’s vocals and the band’s return to form. A bonus track, “Let It Take You Back,” was included in the European release.

15. Eclipse (2011)

City of Hope

Though it arrives amidst lawsuits , social media sniping and infighting, Journey is turning 50 this year.

During that half century, the group has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, logging 11 platinum-or-better albums (including Diamond certifications for 1981’s Escape and 1988’s Greatest Hits) , earning eight top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 and 25 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s also been a reliable ticket-selling act for most of its career, and in 2017, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Journey’s is the story of eras. When the group originally formed in San Francisco in 1973, original manager Herbie Herbert helped bring together guitarist Neal Schon and keyboard player/vocalist Gregg Rolie from Santana, bassist Ross Valory and rhythm guitarist George Tickner from Frumious Bandersnatch and drummer Prairie Prince from The Tubes. Prince would be replaced by David Bowie/Frank Zappa skins man Aynsley Dunbar, while Tickner would leave after Journey’s self-titled first album in 1975. The remaining quartet recorded two more albums before Steve Perry came on board for 1978’s Infinity, which began the band’s run of multi-platinum smashes — also marking the first appearance of Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse’s iconic scarab logo for the band. Dunbar was replaced by Steve Smith for 1979’s Evolution , and Rolie would leave in 1980 with Jonathan Cain of The Babys joining to help elevate the band to even greater fortunes on Escape and Frontiers .

The palette has been diverse, but there are common elements among Journey’s best songs — sturdy melodies and sing-along choruses, usually leading into one of Schon’s majestic guitar solos. But within that mold there’s also been plenty of invention and clever arrangements that have never been as formulaic as some of the band’s detractors (particularly during their early ‘80s heyday) would have you believe.

Journey has gone through its fair share of lineups, with singer Arnel Pineda on board since 2007 — the longest continuous tenure of any Journey frontman. The group released Freedom , it’s first new studio album in 11 years, in 2022, and despite the current legal fractures (which you can read about in detail here ), still they ride, as the Escape track says — and may they keep on runnin’ for a long time.

With all that in mind, here are our picks for Journey’s 10 best songs — not all of which come from the biggest hits.

"Someday Soon" ( Departure , 1980)

This album track from Rolie’s finally studio effort with the band is a hypnotic tone poem, with a ringing, cushy ambience and a hippie kind of optimism – not to mention the best give-and-take Perry and Rolie achieved during their time together in the band. It’s of course been eclipsed by Journey’s myriad hits (“Any Way You Want It” is the enduring top 40 Hot 100 hit from Departure ), but it’s a gem worthy of discovery. Listen here.

"Escape" ( Escape , 1981)

The title track from Journey’s Billboard 200-topping studio album straddled the hard rock/pomp attack of the group’s mid-‘70s output with the melodic sensibility of the Perry-Cain axis. Its five-minute length provides room for the arrangement to stretch out and flow from one song part to the next, with a crunch that was part of Journey’s palette at the time. Listen here.

"Of a Lifetime" ( Journey , 1975)

The Journey of 1973-77 was certainly a different creature than the hitmaking colossus so many know and love. The group’s initial lineups flexed instrumental muscles, smoothly knitting together a number of styles more interested in the journey (ba- dum ) than any commercial destination. The first track from its first album is a prototype, leaning into blues, psychedelic rock and a touch of Latin, with the first of what would become many standout Schon solos, and a tuneful sturdiness delivered by Rolie’s soulful vocal. Listen here.

"Faithfully" (Frontiers , 1983)

The melody of this top 20 Hot 100 hit came to Cain in a dream on a tour bus, and his paean to the struggle between home and the road was written in a half-hour. The result was a swoon-inducing ballad tailor-made for a sea of lighters (back then) and cellphone flashlights (now), capturing one of Perry’s best recorded performances and one of Schon’s most inspired solos. One of its great side stories is that Prince contacted Cain after he wrote “Purple Rain,” concerned that it might be too similar to “Faithfully.” Cain determined it wasn’t, but joked to Billboard that, “After seeing what it became, I should have asked for a couple of points….”

"Ask the Lonely" (single, 1983)

Recorded for Frontiers , this one wound up in the romcom Two of a Kind (starring the Grease duo of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John) and rocked its way to No. 3 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. Like “Only the Young,” which wound up in Vision Quest two years later, it showed that Journey was on roll – and well-suited for big soundtrack moments. Listen here.

"Who's Crying Now" ( Escape, 1981)

The best of Journey’s swoon songs — started by Perry while driving into Los Angeles and finished with Cain — has a subtlety and dynamic build that sets it apart from the many others of its ilk they’d create. The verse slips into the chorus with a soulful ease, and Schon’s guitar accents deftly build up to his searing solo at the end. The Escape single reached No. 4 on the Hot 100. Listen here.

"Feeling That Way" ( Infinity , 1978)

If fans at the time wondered how Steve Perry and Gregg Rolie would co-exist, this was the answer — an ebb-and-flow tradeoff that proved they could complement each other as lead singers as well as harmonize smoothly together (first evidenced by Infinity ‘s lead track “Lights”). Its medley-like pairing with the next track, “Anytime,” was gravy that would become a motif on the next few Journey albums. Listen here.

"Just the Same Way" ( Evolution , 1979)

Journey’s fifth album had a punchier sound than Infinity — though they shared producer Roy Thomas Baker — which worked to the benefit of the album’s first single. Led by Rolie’s piano and muscular lead vocal, with Perry responding on the choruses and bridge, it reached No. 58 on the Hot 100 in 1979. In a perfect world this would have been as big as anything from Escape or Frontiers, but it’s still a convincing introduction to the Rolie era of the band. Listen here.

"Don't Stop Believin'" ( Escape , 1981)

Journey "Don't Stop Believin'" (Live 1981: Escape Tour - 2022 HD Remaster)

More than a billion Spotify streams, a Library of Congress National Recording Registry placement and plays at virtually every sporting event around the world don’t lie — this one is Journey’s pinnacle of success. Created during a rehearsal at the group’s warehouse HQ in Oakland, Calif., it gave us the “streetlight people” of Hollywood’s Sunset Strip and put the non-existent South Detroit on the map. And it saves the chorus for the song’s end, after the guitar solo. A cross-generational hit? Believe it, gleefully.

"Stone in Love" ( Escape , 1981)

Schon reportedly called this “Stoned in Love” when he wrote the riff, and it’s certainly an addictive track that’s the best roll-down-the-windows-and-crank-it-up Journey fix you could ask for — not to mention a frequent show opener. A No. 13 Mainstream Rock Airplay hit in 1981, the song is practically a deep cut today. But its anthemic chorus is a spirit-lifter and the dynamic breakdown that segues into the song-closing guitar solo harks back to the ambitious musicality of the first few albums. “Stone” is a gem that still shines bright. Listen here.

Top 10 Journey Songs Loved By Fans

After quickly abandoning the plan to be a backup group, the band experimented with a jazz-fusion sound. The band’s self-titled debut album was released in 1975, followed by Look into the Future a year later and Next in 1977. Sales of these first few albums were not promising, with only one (just barely) making the top 20. These disappointments led the band to move further away from their jazz roots and towards a harder (and more popular) rock sound. This coincided with Steve Perry joining the band as frontman, a change which, coupled with the band’s new sound, saw their fortunes improve dramatically.

Journey achieved their first top 20 single in 1979, while the band’s sixth album, Departure (1980), charted at number eight. The early ’80s saw the band peak their popularity, earning a number-one album, Escape, in 1981 and many successful singles. Following an explosion of success, the band took some time off, with a few members, including Steve Perry , working on solo projects. Raised on the Radio (1986) was a massive hit for the band, but Steve Perry felt unable to continue with the group, causing them to go on hiatus for almost a decade between 1987 and 1995.

The band eventually reformed to a decent enough reception, but following a hip injury, Steve Perry decided to leave the band for good. Ironically, he was replaced by another Steve, Steve Augeri (of Tyketto and Tall Story) while Dean Castronovo replaced drummer Steve Smith (who also left). The band’s 2001 album, Arrival , was met with quiet success, after which Augeri was forced to leave the band due to problems with his throat. The remaining band members scoured YouTube to find a new singer, eventually settling on Arnel Pineda. The first record released with Pineda on lead vocals ( Revelation, 2008 ) was a great success, and this was shortly followed by the TV series Glee, which introduced the band’s music to a whole new generation of listeners.

Although the glory days of the bands are over, it makes a nice change for an iconic band such as Journey to be decently still chugging along almost half a century since their debut. Despite an ever-changing lineup, the band created some extraordinary tracks, the best of which will be featured on this list of the top ten Journey songs.

# 10 – Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’

This single from Evolution (1979) was the band’s first song to break into the Billboard Top Twenty, where it peaked at number 16. Steve Perry wrote the track and seems to be an extremely personal track about a relationship that is believed to be inspired by actual events. The song sees Steve Perry’s girlfriend having an affair with someone else, leaving him feeling broken and lonely. During the final chorus, the girl gets a taste of her own medicine when it is revealed that the guy she cheated with is now cheating on her. This twist allows Steve Perry to get the last laugh, even if his heart is broken.

The track begins with a bass-infused drum beat, quickly joined by a squealed guitar and lush piano chords. The screeched guitar soon makes way for a crunchy, distorted sound, which captures the familiar mix of joy and pain that is love when paired with the gorgeous piano notes. Steve Perry imbues the lyrics with anguish and emotion, particularly evident during the song’s title hook.

Most of the song’s second half is taken up by a Beatles’ Hey Jude -inspired “Na na na” section. In less capable hands, this could seem lazy or uninspired, but mixed with soaring guitar runs, Journey manages to create a catchy and evocative outro. Lovin’, Touchin’ , Squeezin’ was the first of many Journey songs to succeed, so it thoroughly deserves its place on this list.

# 9 – Only the Young

Initially intended for inclusion on Frontiers (1983), this track was sold to the band Scandal, who received significant payment after Journey decided to record and release their version of the song. As the title suggests, the track covers a timeless topic: youth’s boundless promise and freedom. Journey puts their spin on things by suggesting that the young are potentially smarter than the generations before and can see through past lies, allowing them to build a better future.

This track is full of ’80s rock essentials, including a powerful and catchy chorus and a face-melting guitar solo. Neal Schon’s solo is only short on this track, but he manages to pack it full of ideas, somehow suggesting freedom, victory, and a hint of sadness with just a few chords.

A sad story goes along with this song, as it was played to a sixteen-year-old fan with cystic fibrosis as part of a request from the Make a Wish Foundation. The band was deeply moved by this experience and was devastated to find out that the fan passed away the next day. This must have been incredibly upsetting given the song’s theme, and is believed to have caused the group to realize that in-band tension was petty and unimportant in the grand scheme of things. The track was used to open the band’s Raised on Radio tour in tribute to the departed teenager.

Only the Young is one of those often underrated Journey songs, which, especially given its backstory, comes with a real punch of genuinely powerful emotion.

# 8 – Wheel in the Sky

Although it was only a minor hit upon release – peaking at number 57 in the US – Wheel in the Sky has become a bonafide Journey classic. Recorded in 1977, the track comes from when the band was transitioning toward a harder rock sound, so much of the song features edgy and immediate guitar chords and simple rock beats.

The track begins with an instrumental section composed of a thoughtful and subdued sound, quite unlike the rest. The ominous atmosphere begins to build as soon as the growling guitar kicks in. The song’s churning guitar riffs echo the titular wheel in the sky, representing the idea that time goes on and on, that seasons will change and repeat forever, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

The song’s references to being on the road and away from home suggest that the band’s incessant touring could also have informed the song’s lyrics. The track ends on a hopeful note, where the final instance of the song’s chorus hook changes from “turning” to “yearning,” hinting that the band finds hope and promise in their existence rather than an endless cycle of repetition.

Unlike many Journey songs, the meaning of “Wheel in the Sky” is ambiguous and open to interpretation. This ambiguity mixes with the track’s moody and vaguely menacing instrumental, creating an exciting and uneasy hard rock Journey classic.

# 7 – Lights

One of the first Journey songs to feature Steve Perry , “Lights” is a soft rock ballad that has gone from being a minor hit (reaching number 68 on the charts) to being one of the band’s signature tracks. The song has become a mainstay of classic rock stations and San Francisco based sports events.

The track is an ode to San Francisco, where Journey originated, and is full of references to the beauty of the city and its bay. Ironically, Steve Perry originally wrote the track about Los Angeles but found that the lyrics did not scan as well as he’d hoped. Realizing that the band’s precious San Francisco would be a better fit, Perry and Schon tweaked the track and made history.

“Lights” is a calming and soothing rock song, and it’s almost impossible to resist finding a lighter to sway about. The track features tender chords, just on the very edge of distortion, and a harmonious, tinkling piano. Dramatic keyboard notes sound subtly in the background, adding further atmosphere to the song’s images.

The instrumental complements the track’s lyrics, creating a relaxed and peaceful image of San Francisco. Having never visited the place, you can’t help but imagine yourself watching a gorgeous sunset surrounded by loved ones.

“Lights” has gone from humble beginnings to being one of Journey’s best-loved tracks. You don’t have to be from San Francisco to understand how magical this dreamy track is.

# 6 – Who’s Crying Now

“Who’s Crying Now “ is one of the more successful Journey songs, peaking at number four in the US and becoming the highest-charting Journey single in the UK. The track is a soulful piece with a simple piano riff. According to the band, Steve Perry wrote the song’s chorus while coming to Jonathan Cain’s house during a storm. Upon his arrival, Cain had a few suggestions for changes, and the song was finished that afternoon.

The instrumental is moody and bitter, and you can tell it was inspired by a storm. The central piano hook is catchy but not particularly joyful, and when this is paired with Schon’s piercing and high-pitched guitar solo, you get the sense of the tense and tragic relationship described by the song. The lyrics tell a story of a toxic and tumultuous relationship, which, once again, can be linked to the song’s stormy inspiration.

This was the first Journey song to feature Cain, who had previously been a member of The Babys . It speaks volumes of Cain’s talent that he was so effortlessly able to slot into the band’s lineup and help create such an evocative and atmospheric piece. Of additional note is the curious decision for the drumbeat to be absent for much of the song, only appearing during the chorus and towards the track’s end. This allows for Cain’s impressive piano hook to become the song’s anchor, allowing its greatness to take center stage. Who’s Crying Now is a grim and tempestuous masterpiece.

# 5 – Open Arms

The third single from 1981’s Escape , this track is an emotional power ballad and is often seen as being one of the best examples of this vibrant sub-genre. It is believed that Cain had already begun working on the song when he was a member of The Babys , but that band was not keen on the melody. After hearing the concept, Steve Perry was immediately interested, and the two finished the track together. The rest of the band were not so enamored with the track (or ballads in general), but after performing the track live, they saw the crowd’s warm reaction to the song and changed their hearts.

The track’s lyrics see Steve Perry (in extraordinary vocal form) pleading with his lover to forgive his wrongdoings and restart their relationship. The track utilizes some sparkling piano chords, a heartbeat-like drum, and beautiful orchestral elements, all contrasted by some gritty guitar runs.

The track is one of the band’s most successful songs, earning them their highest position on the Billboard 100 (number two). The track has been introduced to a broader (and more contemporary) audience by becoming a staple of many pop diva’s covers discography, including Mariah Carey , Britney Spears , and Celine Dion . Open Arms’ immense popularity is undoubtedly down to its relatable, heartfelt lyrics and gorgeous instrumental. You can be sure that many couples have used this – and other Journey songs – as the first dance at their wedding, and it’s easy to see why.

# 4 – Faithfully

Another one of those stunningly powerful Journey songs, “Faithfully,” comes from 1983’s Frontiers. The track was written by Jonathan Cain while on the road and was completed in an extremely short time (something which the religious Cain puts down to divine intervention). The track is a charming ode to Cain’s wife, which pays particular attention to the realities of a relationship with a rock star and how these issues aren’t a problem for them. The song is unusual because it has no actual chorus; instead, it features two chorus-like sections ending on the same lines.

Being two of the band’s best-known power ballads, it’s inevitable that Faithfully will be compared to Open Arms . While traditionalists might prefer the more conventional Open Arms , “Faithfully” imbues the power ballad with even more layers of drama and emotion. The strident and chiming electric chords that follow the first “chorus” are magical and a perfect example of the unbelievable range of sounds that guitars can create.

Bryan Adams (who supported Journey on the Frontiers Tour is thought to have been heavily influenced by “Faithfully” while writing “Heaven,” and legend has it that Prince called Cain to check whether or not he thought Purple Rain sounded too similar to the track. That “Faithfully” could inspire such iconic songs should give you some idea of the sheer magnetism and brilliance of this moving and timeless power ballad.

# 3 – Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)

This moody ’80s classic comes from Frontiers and was a decent hit for the band, staying at number eight on the chart for six consecutive weeks. Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) is a dark and moody piece brooding with heavy, atmospheric guitar and foreboding synthesizer chords.

The song tells the story of a couple who have broken up and gone their separate ways but will still always share a connection because of the time they spent together. The track was written on tour while Schon and Valery were both going through stressful divorces, which no doubt informed the song’s creation. The track is notable for making its debut halfway through the tour, with these live performances being the first time fans would hear the record. The fan reaction was highly positive.

The song’s release coincided with the creation of MTV , meaning bands were forced to develop wacky and weird concepts for their music videos. This track has, unfortunately (if not unfairly), been labeled as having one of the worst music videos of all time. The video features the band playing cringeworthy imaginary instruments on a pier. As well as looking completely ludicrous, the video does a real disservice to what is a powerful and edgy piece of ‘80s rock.

# 2 – Any Way You Want It

The opening track of Departure , Any Way You Want It, is an immense, stadium-filling, feel-good track. The song is often used to close Journey shows, finishing concerts on a genuinely euphoric note that will stick with fans. At the center of this hard rock track is a call and response between vocals and guitar, which is simply an absolute, unbridled pleasure to listen to. This method is believed to have been inspired by Thin Lizzy bassist Phil Lynott , who was jamming with Steve Perry and Neal Schon while the two bands were on tour together.

Even if you’ve never heard of Journey, chances are you will be familiar with this track, as it has been featured in many different films, TV shows, and commercials since its release. The song is well suited to this type of setting as it’s a real rip-roarer of a track that grabs listeners immediately with that introductory vocal hook and doesn’t let go until it reaches its end three and a half minutes later.

As well as the call and response guitar, the most notable part of the song is the sparkling organ (and mellotron) notes, which briefly play during the chorus, adding a pinch of variety and manic glamour to the proceedings. When a track is as shiny and genuinely excellent as this, it’s no surprise that it has become a mainstay of popular culture.

# 1 – Don’t Stop Believin’

Love it or loathe it (not that that’s possible), there is truly no other track that will ever top a list of Journey songs. Taken from 1981’s Escape , this track is, quite simply, one of the most anthemic and catchy rock songs of all time.

Don’t Stop Believin’ begins with a glittering and iconic keyboard riff, which is soon joined by Perry’s vocals and some urgent and jittering guitar. From there, the song gets bigger and bigger, introducing some catchy pre-choruses and instrumentals before finally climaxing with that enormous chorus.

Like many Journey songs, this track did decently enough upon first release but, over time, morphed into achieving legendary status. Thanks to various television shows over the years ( The Sopranos, Glee , The X-Factor), the song has been in and out of the chart ever since its initial release, even managing to become the 25th best-selling track of 2010 in the UK, over twenty years since its release.

The track’s enduring popularity can be attributed to its cheerful and feel-good message, which everyone needs to hear at some point in their lives. The clever structure and progression also take the listener on (ironically) a journey. Don’t Stop Believin’ is a heavenly piece of everlasting rock goodness that will undoubtedly keep listeners believin ’ long into the future.

Journey’s various incarnations have created many memorable and moving tracks throughout their career, creating an impressive and influential discography. You can be sure that each of the Journey songs on this list will be remembered and cherished for years.

DJ Cassidy performs during the second day of the Democratic National Convention at the United Center on Tuesday in Chicago. Andrew Harnik/Getty Images hide caption

The NPR Network will be reporting live from Chicago throughout the week bringing you the latest on the Democratic National Convention .

DJ Cassidy and the Democrats played special tracks for each state and territory during Tuesday night's roll call.

WATCH: The full Democratic National Convention celebratory roll call

But what song — or songs, in some cases — repped your state? We found them all so you don't have to. Better yet, we offer some reasons behind the choices.

Alabama : Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

While Lynyrd Skynyrd's ode to Alabama might seem like an obvious choice, the band was formed in Jacksonville, Fla.

Alaska : Feel It Still - Portugal. The Man

The rock band is from Wasilla, Alaska, where two of its members met in high school and began playing music together.

American Samoa : Edge of Glory - Lady Gaga

The song choice is a tongue-in-cheek nod to the territory's position as the southernmost territory in the United States.

Arizona : Edge of Seventeen - Stevie Nicks

Singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks, known for both her solo career and her work in the band Fleetwood Mac, is from Phoenix.

Arkansas : Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac

Speaking of Nicks, her band's track "Don't Stop" became the official song of Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, with the band even uniting to perform at the former president's first inaugural ball. Clinton is famously from Hope, Arkansas, and served as the state's governor from 1979 to 1981 and again from 1983 to 1992.

California : The Next Episode - Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg, California Love - Tupac Shakur, featuring Dr. Dre, Alright - Kendrick Lamar, Not Like Us - Kendrick Lamar

Nearly all of the above artists are legendary California musicians, with Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar born in Compton, and Snoop Dogg born in Long Beach. Only Tupac stands out among the native Californians, having been born in New York City.

Colorado : September - Earth, Wind & Fire

Philip James Bailey, one of two lead singers of Earth, Wind & Fire was born in Denver. What's more, he turned to Denver East High School friends Larry Dunn and Andrew Woolfolk to shore up the band after some original members left, according to the Colorado Music Hall of Fame .

Connecticut : Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours) - Stevie Wonder

It’s “kind of a perfect campaign song,” as Chris Willman, the chief music critic at Variety , notes on Morning Edition . Wonder is from Michigan, but that didn’t stop Barack Obama from making “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” a hallmark of his two presidential campaigns.

Delaware : Higher Love - Kygo & Whitney Houston

Higher Love has been a staple of President Biden's campaign, with the track playing at the end of his 2020 acceptance speech.

Lil Jon made a surprise convention appearance to express his support for Kamala Harris. The rapper is from Atlanta, while DJ Snake, his counterpart on the track, is from Guam : Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter

The summer hit, which has over a billion streams on Spotify, is one of several songs that may have been chosen simply for their mass appeal — and understandably so. In June, Carpenter became the first artist since The Beatles to have two songs debut within the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100.

Hawai’i : 24K Magic - Bruno Mars

R&B and funk musician Mars is from Honolulu, Hawai'i.

Idaho : Private Idaho - The B-52's

"Private Idaho" was a single off the Georgia band's second album, though they didn't play a show in the state of Idaho until 2011.

Indiana - Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough - Michael Jackson

A classic party anthem, Kool & The Gang actually hail from New Jersey. Meanwhile, Iowa passed on their hometown heroes of the band Slipknot.

Rapper and singer Harlow was born in Louisville, Ky., and raised in Shelbyville.

Maine : Shut Up and Dance - WALK THE MOON

It’s a universally adored pop hit, even if the state did borrow it from a Cincinnati, Ohio, band.

Maryland : Respect - Aretha Franklin

Using an anthem by the queen of soul — with roots in Tennessee and Michigan — is the only reason we can think of to pass on Billie Holiday, Toni Braxton and David Byrne, who are among other talent with Maryland ties.

The American Celtic band was formed in Quincy, Mass. The song itself describes a sailor with a missing leg, who is going to Boston in search of a wooden prosthetic.

The 26-year-old from Willard, Mo., has found herself on a meteoric rise to stardom following the release of her 2023 album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.

Montana : American Woman - Lenny Kravitz

Several of the songs remaining in the DNC roll call playlist veer towards simply keeping the party going, with no obvious ties between the tracks and their assigned states. But these hits are on-brand for a party building momentum around the goal of putting a woman in the White House.

Correction Aug. 21, 2024

A previous version of this story misspelled Bruce Springsteen’s birthplace. It is Long Branch, New Jersey.

Top 10 Journey Songs

The top Journey songs demonstrate quite clearly how the band, one of the early progenitors of what rock critics like to dismiss as "arena rock," achieved such popularity in the '70s and '80s.

Journey were undoubtedly ahead of their time in terms of PR, and especially in terms of professionalizing their live shows, pioneering elements of live production that are standard procedure today. But while the group took a great deal of flack for the skill with which they were marketed, it is the music they created – an interesting blend of guitar-driven hard rock and vocal-oriented pop – that has endured across the decades, connecting with several subsequent generations.

The group's earliest musical origins featured an elaborate mix of rock and progressive fusion, but it wasn't until they later shifted in a more commercial direction that they began their long, slow climb to superstardom. Though they were often critically derided, Journey's best work boasted a level of instrumental and vocal ability far beyond that of most of their peers and covered a wide array of styles – as you'll see in our list of the Top 10 Journey Songs.

"Lovin,' Touchin,' Squeezin'"

Steve Perry reportedly drew inspiration from one of his biggest influences, Sam Cooke, for this track from Journey's fifth album. The singer borrowed from " Nothing Can Change This Love " for the song, which struck a perfect balance between his soulful pop vocals and Neal Schon 's heavy rock guitars to become the group's first Top 20 hit, reaching No. 16 and helping Evolution to become a triple-platinum hit.

"Stone In Love"

This hard rock track from Journey's seventh studio album helped introduce the writing talents of newcomer keyboardist Jonathan Cain , who wrote the song with Perry and Schon. The song's infectious marriage of heavy riffing, blazing guitar solos and an alluring melody – all topped off by an undeniable Steve Perry vocal performance – helped it became a rock radio staple, easily earning its spot in our Top 10 Journey Songs.

Perry wasted no time making himself at home as a writer after he joined for Journey's fourth album. This soulful rock track pairs a Schon riff with a lyric Perry had originally written about Los Angeles, which he changed to fit after joining the San Francisco-based Journey. "Lights" originally charted at just No. 68, but went on to become a rock radio staple and an important part of Journey's live shows.

"Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)"

Another in a long string of Journey classics penned by the duo of Cain and Perry, this song came together in a backstage writing session in which the singer was playing bass and the keyboardist was playing guitar. It marries Perry's Motown influence with hard rock for a track that hit No. 8 in the Mainstream Rock chart and has become an all-time classic rock track. The single release was accompanied by a much-lampooned video in which the band members mime to the track without their actual instruments.

"Feeling That Way"

"Feeling That Way" was initially an instrumental titled "Velvet Curtain," written by keyboardist Gregg Rolie with drummer Aynsley Dunbar before he added words and re-titled it "Please Let Me Stay." It wasn't until Perry joined Journey and wrote some additional material that the band recorded the track. He and Rolie shared the lead vocal duties on this song, which is almost always paired with " Anytime " both on the radio and in concert.

"Wheel in the Sky"

One of the earliest Journey songs to find traction at rock radio, "Wheel in the Sky" began as a poem titled "Wheels in My Mind" by Diane Valory, the wife of Journey bassist Ross Valory. When singer Robert Fleischman heard it, he appropriated it for a lyric that was juxtaposed against a hard rock riff from Schon. When Journey brought in Steve Perry to replace Fleischman, he put his signature vocal stamp on the track, undeniably making it one of the Top 10 Journey Songs

"Open Arms"

Cain had originally pitched the melody idea for "Open Arms" when he was a member of the Babys , but singer John Waite reportedly shot it down as too sentimental. Once he and Perry completed the song, their Journey bandmates didn't feel too differently – particularly Schon, who felt the song too light for the group. Despite the opposition, the group recorded and released the track, which held the No. 2 spot in the Billboard chart for six consecutive weeks and has become a cultural touchstone.

"Any Way You Want It"

Co-written by Perry and Schon, this track was heavily influenced by Thin Lizzy front man Phil Lynott , who was sharing in a rhyme scheme exercise with the two backstage while the bands were touring together. Recorded closer to a "live in the studio" environment, Departure featured an edgier sound than previous Journey records, and the track is a perfect example of that, propelled by Schon's fleet-fingered solos and Perry's high-octane vocal performance.

"Faithfully"

Cain wrote the wistful piano-based ballad "Faithfully" about the challenges of being on the road while trying to maintain a life with his wife at home. The song's universal sentiment and melodic structure struck such a chord with fans that it landed at No. 12 in the Billboard chart, and it has since gone on to become one of Journey's most recognizable and enduring songs. Ironically, the song has far outlasted the marriage it was written to commemorate, which ended in divorce in 1987.

"Don't Stop Believin'"

"Don't Stop Believin'" not only tops our list of the Top 10 Journey Songs, it came in at No. 13 in our overall poll of the Top 100 Classic Rock Songs, and it is the best-selling catalog track of the digital music era, having sold more than 5 million digital tracks. Written by Cain, Perry and Schon, the song's multi-generational attraction lies partly in its inspirational message and partly in its arrangement, which appeals equally to fans of hard rock and vocal-oriented pop.

Harris.” “Ladies and gentlemen, we are here tonight to officially nominate Kamala Harris for president. D.N.C., turn down for what.” [music: “Turn Down for What”] “California, we proudly cast our 482 votes for the next president, Kamala Harris.” “We are so honored to be your nominees. This is a people-powered campaign, and together we will chart a new way forward.”

Follow the latest news on the Democratic National Convention .

The anthemic synths of Bruce Springsteen. The driving rhythm of Tom Petty’s guitar. The guttural screams of Lil Jon.

These were part of the soundtrack to the official nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday evening at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, as delegations from all 50 states and several territories pledged their support to Ms. Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota. (Technically, Ms. Harris had already been nominated in a virtual roll-call vote before the convention, but the in-person roll call is an essential part of the convention’s pageantry.)

The music was mixed and organized by DJ Cassidy, a mainstay of Democratic conventions dating to 2012, who tried to pair the music with the state whose delegates were speaking.

The process of compiling the playlist took about a month, and he worked with each state’s delegation to find a song that captured a spirit of “unity and celebration” and had meaning to the state. (In some cases, he acknowledged, those meanings were obvious and in others “more nuanced.”)

“I had a personal goal here, which was to turn the entire convention into a party,” he said.

The performance peaked with a live performance by Lil Jon, singing “V.P. Harris … Governor Walz” to the same syncopated beat of “from the window to the walls,” lyrics from his song “Get Low.”

Though DJ Cassidy is something of a veteran of political events — he’s played music at Mr. Obama’s 50th birthday and at a virtual fundraiser for President Biden — he said he left the stage Tuesday night with a new appreciation for the democratic process.

“It really is a beautiful thing to go state to state to state to watch those states pledge their votes, their delegates to their candidates of choice,” he said. “It was very inspiring to be at the center of this tonight.”

The following is a list of the songs that accompanied each state and territory, with the connection explained where we could:

Alabama — “Sweet Home Alabama,” by Lynyrd Skynyrd (which formed in Florida).

Alaska — “Feel It Still,” by Portugal. The Man, originally from Alaska.

Arizona — “Edge of Seventeen,” by Stevie Nicks, a native of Phoenix.

Arkansas — “Don’t Stop,” by Fleetwood Mac, the 1992 campaign song for Bill Clinton, the former governor of Arkansas.

California — “Next Episode” by Dr. Dre, then “California Love,” by Tupac, followed by “Alright” and “Not Like Us,” both by Kendrick Lamar, a selection of hip-hop songs about the state and by some of its most famous artists.

Colorado — “September,” by Earth, Wind & Fire. Philip Bailey, one of the band’s two lead singers, hails from Denver.

Connecticut — “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours,” by Stevie Wonder. Connecticut is known as the Constitution State.

Democrats Abroad — “Love Train,” by the O’Jays. (“People around the world, join hands,” the lyrics say.)

District of Columbia — “Let Me Clear Me Throat,” by DJ Kool, one of the earliest rap artists from Washington, D.C.

Delaware — “Higher Love,” by Kygo and Whitney Houston. President Biden, Delaware’s favorite son, has played this song regularly at his events, including after his acceptance speech in 2020.

Florida — “I Won’t Back Down,” by Florida’s own Tom Petty, and used by Florida politicians for decades, including, most recently, Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Two women from the Florida delegation, dressed in pink jackets.

Georgia — “Welcome to Atlanta,” by Jermaine Dupri, followed by “Turn Down for What,” by Lil Jon and DJ Snake and “Get Low.” Lil Jon performed part of it live at the United Center in Chicago, singing with the Georgia delegation.

Guam — “Espresso,” by Sabrina Carpenter.

Hawaii — “24k Magic,” by Hawaii’s most successful pop artist, Bruno Mars.

Idaho — “Private Idaho,” by the B-52’s, who are not from Idaho.

Illinois — “Sirius,” by the Alan Parsons Project, which played while the Chicago Bulls were introduced during the Michael Jordan era of the 1990s.

Indiana — “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough,” by Indiana’s own Michael Jackson.

Iowa — “Celebration,” by Kool & the Gang.

Kansas — “Carry On Wayward Son,” by, um, Kansas.

Kentucky — “First Class,” by Jack Harlow, a hip-hop artist from Louisville, Ky.

Louisiana — “All I Do Is Win,” by DJ Khaled of New Orleans.

Maine — “Shut Up and Dance,” by Walk the Moon.

Maryland — “Respect,” by Aretha Franklin.

Massachusetts — “I’m Shipping Up to Boston,” by Dropkick Murphys, a loud-and-proud Massachusetts punk band that regularly wears Boston sports jerseys while playing.

Michigan — “Lose Yourself,” by Eminem, one of the most well-known rappers from Detroit.

Minnesota — “1999,” by Prince, Minnesota’s own, well, prince.

Mississippi — “Twistin’ the Night Away,” by Sam Cooke, the “King of Soul,” who helped expand the genre in Mississippi.

Missouri — “Good Luck, Babe,” by Missouri’s Chappell Roan.

Montana — “American Woman,” by Lenny Kravitz (originally by Guess Who, a Canadian band).

Nebraska — “Firework,” by Katy Perry.

Nevada — “Mr. Brightside,” by the Killers, a rock band from Las Vegas.

New Hampshire — “Don’t Stop Believin’,” by Journey.

New Jersey — “Born in the U.S.A.,” by the New Jersey native son Bruce Springsteen. The song has often been misread by politicians; it is not an enthusiastic celebration of American birthright but instead a conflicted protest song, with criticisms about the Vietnam War.

New Mexico — “Confident,” by Demi Lovato, the New Mexico singer who has performed at the Democratic National Convention in the past.

New York — “Empire State of Mind,” a duet by two New York artists — Alicia Keys and Jay-Z — that became the anthem for the New York Yankees’ 2009 World Series run.

North Carolina — “Raise Up,” by Petey Pablo, a hip-hop artist from North Carolina.

North Dakota — “Girl on Fire,” by Alicia Keys.

Pennsylvania — “Motownphilly” by the Philadelphia group Boyz II Men and “Black and Yellow,” by the Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa, a staple at Pittsburgh Steelers games.

Puerto Rico — “Despacito,” by Luis Fonsi, one of the biggest singles ever by a Puerto Rican artist.

Rhode Island — “Shake It Off,” by Taylor Swift, who owns a home in Watch Hill, R.I.

South Carolina — “Get Up,” by James Brown, who grew up in rural southwestern South Carolina.

South Dakota — “What I Like About You,” by the Romantics.

Tennessee — “9 to 5,” by the Tennessee singer, artist and activist Dolly Parton.

Texas — “Texas Hold ’Em,” by Beyoncé, a Texas native.

Utah — “Animal,” by Neon Trees, from just outside Salt Lake City.

Vermont — “Stick Season,” by Noah Kahan, who hails from Vermont and mentions “I Love Vermont” in the song.

U.S. Virgin Islands — “VI to the Bone,” by Mic Love, about the Virgin Islands.

Virginia — “The Way I Are,” by Timbaland, born and raised in Norfolk, Va.

Washington — “Can’t Hold Us,” by the Seattle based hip-hop duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.

West Virginia — “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” by John Denver, a song so core to West Virginia that it is considered an official state anthem.

Wisconsin — “Jump Around.” Though written by California’s House of Pain, this song is played at University of Wisconsin football games.

Wyoming — “I Gotta Feeling,” by the Black Eyed Peas.
