Subject:  Don't Stop Believin' by Journey
Album:    Escape, 1981
 
Journey is one of the great Rock band from the 80's that blended Rock Ballads
which became the foundation for the future bands.  This song Don't Stop Believin'
is a beautiful and inspirational song.  It's not as perfect, but it should sound okay.
