Don't Stop Believin'
Glee Cast · The 3D Concert Movie Soundtrack [2011]
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere
A singer in a smoky room
I smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people
Don't stop
About Don't Stop Believin'
"Don't Stop Believin'" by the Glee Cast serves as a vibrant theatrical reinterpretation of the iconic 1981 rock anthem originally recorded by Journey. This recording appears on the soundtrack for *The 3D Concert Movie*, a production that utilized the show's ensemble to perform classic rock and pop hits in a stylized concert format. The arrangement retains the song's signature driving rhythm and nostalgic melody while adapting the vocals to match the collective voice of the cast, creating a dynamic performance piece that bridges the gap between original rock tradition and modern television music. The track exemplifies the Glee Cast's ability to deliver high-energy performances of well-known songs, often blending theatrical flair with emotional depth. While the original composition remains a staple of rock history, this version highlights the group's versatility in handling complex harmonies and powerful delivery. It stands as a significant example of how classic recordings can be revitalized for new audiences through collaborative reinterpretation, maintaining the song's enduring appeal within the context of contemporary musical theater and television soundtracks.
