Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain has always had a knack for creating music that resonates with the fans. When he joined the band, he proposed the idea of writing a song that would speak directly to their audience. The result was the timeless hit "Don't Stop Believin'," a song that encapsulated the dreams and aspirations of countless small-town girls and boys looking to catch their midnight train to anywhere.
Fast forward to the present, and Cain reveals that they're back at it again. In an interview with Classic Rock magazine, he shared that Journey has a new song in the works titled "This Town." The song is a tribute to the fans who have stood by the band for over 50 years. It's a heartfelt expression of gratitude for their unwavering loyalty, with the hook poignantly stating, "Tonight, it's all about this town."
However, the future of a new album following their 2022 release, "Freedom," remains uncertain. Cain admits that the music industry landscape is challenging, and while "Freedom" was an experimental project during the COVID era, it didn't achieve the desired results. Despite that, Cain remains optimistic. He hints that if they can get "This Town" up to speed, fans might get a live debut during their tour with Def Leppard.
