Okay, I'm not going to quote the whole Journey song to you. Hopefully you recognized it from those lyrics, but if not go listen to it here. Or listen to it on your iPod; you've probably got it somewhere on there. This song is incredible. I probably sound like Mr. Schuester, but I don't care. Journey really came up with a powerful message, beautifully set to a simple yet interesting melody line with awesome, moving accompaniment. I think this song is really inspiring. Cheesy, I know. Whatever. It's a good song! It encourages you to get out there and go places, live life, and don't get discouraged when things don't happen the way you want them to. Life your life full of hope. Some will win, some will lose, but that's never the end; life goes on and on and on and on. We're all searching for happiness and love, and some find it, some don't. If you're one of the unlucky ones, keep on keepin' on, and don't stop believin'! Things will turn out. Even if you don't believe the words to the song, believe the music. Music has the power to speak to our hearts, and the music in this song does exactly that. Get out there, take a chance, live life a little bit. Maybe you'll score, maybe you'll strike out. But if you don't stop believin' and you keep the faith, things will work out.
Journey is my favorite group...and this is a great song with a great message! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it Brianne...that was perfect timing and put a smile on my face and faith in my heart!
