Don't Stop Believin'
49Watch it awake.
A nerve you can borrow. It is not a plan, and it is not a faith.
The review
Columbia released it, under Sony. Journey wrote a city song for people who are not famous: a small town, a midnight train, strangers who might become a band. America kept it because the sentence is usable when a room is tired.
Do not mistake it for a creed. It does not say what to believe, or what work comes in the morning. Sing it if you need the nerve. Then do the thing the morning requires.
Journal
Keep Don't Stop Believin' in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 49. Yours can differ.
The glance
Household and Piety and Republic are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Dreams
61 instead of 49
Dreams is still a music song, and it scores 61 instead of 49. What you gain is truth: Players only love you when they are playing.
The eight
- 6Industry
A piano figure, a build, a band that knows the job.
- 4Household
A boy and a girl from small towns. They do not yet have a house. They are looking.
- 3Piety
Believing, with no one named to believe in.
- 6Courage
It is sung by people who have not arrived, and it tells them to stay on the train.
- 4Republic
A crowd becomes a company for four minutes. Then the song ends.
- 6Temperance
No sneer. The hope is plain, which is why it has been mocked and why it lasts.
- 5Truth
It does not promise that the night works out. It refuses despair. That is smaller than the truth, and it is not a lie.
- 5Stewardship
People hand this to each other at the end of hard nights. A song can be an inheritance.
