Escape

I'm trying to just find some others that are really good.

Oh, um, Oh, from the Escape album.

Journey's Escape album? Yes.

1981, the very first track on the album was Don't Stop Believin'.

Oh, well, there you go.

[laughs]

So this game, which is a suitable name, I think, for a sci-fi game, is called Journey Escape.

Okay.

And it had a very catchy main title theme.

Called Don't Stop.

Like, what was the name of the game again?

Journey Escape.

What?

I totally forgot that.

At the time, I don't think this album pl- I got a lot, I played it a lot, but looking back, um, Journey, Escape.

Don't Stop Believin'

I mean, that still stands up now.

I mean, I always liked Journey.

Escape was

like the mega album of all time.

Yeah, that was their only number one album.

What a fantastic thing that happened.

I mean, if we just focus on the nature of the songs and the recording and the performance of the Escape album, totally awesome, totally awesome.

But to your point, I was completely agreeable to that.

Absolutely.

But given the flexibility and the...

the talents of all the musicians and the writers involved, that was not a difficult step to take at all.

And of course, we all look at the outcome, Steve Perry and, well, he came along before Escape, but Escape broke the band.

With the arrival of Jonathan Cain, excellent writer and ranger, That was the combination of writers.

Really for his songwriting.

And so he was writing the Escape album.

And the record label called Steve Perry and said, hey, we need one more song.

And Steve called Jonathan and said, man, the record label says they need one more song.

And I want to be honest, it was not that I purchased it.

I received a burner cassette of Journey's Escape album.

Don't stop believing.

If you hear it, it takes you back immediately.
