Synopsis

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’m a huge Journey fan and was really excited to read this. Happy to hear any tidbits about the band and especially Steve Perry. I pretty much enjoyed the whole book. Got an insight into Jonathan a little more, however I strongly disagree with one point in the book. When the band splits for the seco......more

Goodreads review by Don on December 19, 2021

It was a great read but it was way too heavy in the Jesus talk. He at one point even talks about how his marriage ended because he stopped talking to God! No, your marriage ended because you screwed groupies! Just own it. That aside there were some great stories of writing with Perry.......more

Goodreads review by John on June 07, 2018

Jonathan Cain is a masterful songwriter, and a decent author to boot. This is his first time penning a book and he actually wrote it himself, which is impressive. Cain is a devout Christian these days and his faith defines the book's point of view. However, he doesn't whitewash his own failings and t......more

Goodreads review by Erin on August 13, 2018

The audio was great. Cain gets very, very, understandably emotional, especially when talking about surviving the horrifying Our Lady of the Angels school fire in Chicago as a third grader in 1958. He’s a very religious man, so be prepared for a lot of talk about his relationship with God.......more
