About this listen

Keyboardist and songwriter with the band Journey, Jonathan Cain writes this long-awaited memoir about his personal story of overcoming and faith, his career with one of the most successful musical groups in history, and the stories behind his greatest hits including "Don't Stop Believin'."

When Jonathan Cain and the iconic band Journey were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cain could say he had finally arrived. But Cain's journey wasn't always easy--and his true arrival in life had more to do with faith than fame.

As a child, Cain survived a horrific school fire that killed nearly 100 of his classmates. His experience formed a resilience that would carry him through both tragedy and success. Moving from Chicago to Sunset Boulevard, Cain never let go of his dreams, eventually getting his big break with Journey--and writing the songs that would become the soundtrack of a generation.

Don't Stop Believin' is an epic story of one man's dream that takes you from playing old-country songs at an Italian Deli in Chicago and his experiences with a warm, encouraging father who died too soon, to suddenly writing mega-bestselling songs with some of the most talented musicians and performers ever to take the stage of some of the world's largest arenas. He tells of the thrilling moments when the music came together and offers an inside look at why Steve Perry left and the extraordinary story of their gifted new vocalist, Arnel Pineda.

Through a wonderful retrospective of music that takes us right to the present, Jonathan Cain reminds us of the melodies and lyrics that serve as milestones for our biggest dreams as they call us to never stop believing.

I enjoyed this book by Jonathan. It was good to get an inside look into his personal life and the bands history. He was truly a very gifted song writer and keyboard player. He contributed massively to Journeys success alongside Steve. They made fantastic songs together. That horrific fire Jonathan witnessed as a child was shocking and very traumatising for him. One has to admire his faith and religious beliefs.

I was always a fan of Journey and their very distinctive sound. Neals great guitar playing was magical. The magnificent sublime vocals of Steve were irreplaceable. I always felt that the band was pushed too far with constant touring and performing. It would have had an exhaustive impact on Steve's beautiful vocals. No wonder he was shattered and sadly departed.
