Don't Stop Believin’

It was the early 80s and Journey was on tour, playing to packed arenas across the country. They were at the height of their fame, with hit after hit and legions of fans singing along to every word. But despite their success, the band was feeling burned out. They were tired of the endless touring and long hours in the studio. They needed something to keep them going.

That's when they discovered the power of coffee.

Steve Perry, the lead singer, was a self-proclaimed coffee addict. He would often be seen with a cup of coffee in hand, and would even go so far as to request a pot of coffee on stage during concerts. The rest of the band quickly caught on to his habit and soon they too were hooked.

Coffee became an essential part of their daily routine. They would start every morning with a cup of coffee and would even brew a pot before every show to give them the energy they needed to perform at their best.

It was during this time that the band wrote one of their most iconic songs, "Don't Stop Believin'." The song was written while they were on tour, and the lyrics were inspired by the band's determination to keep going despite the challenges they were facing.

The line "Don't Stop Believin', hold onto that feeling" became an anthem for fans, who could relate to the struggles and triumphs of the band. The song was a hit and it helped to define the band's legacy.

Journey continued to tour and make music for many years, but they never forgot the role that coffee played in their success. To this day, the band still starts every morning with a cup of coffee, and the line "Don't Stop Believin', hold onto that feeling" will always be associated with their determination to keep going and the power of coffee.
