Point of intrigue - "Don't Stop Believin'" was an anthem to patients being discharged from hospitals where once fighting against COVID=19.

Point of interst - "Don't Stop Believin'" was the anthem to the 2005 Chicago White Sox World Series champions and the 2010 San Francisco Giants World Series champions.

"Don't Stop Believin'" is of great meaning to me for a variety of reasons, from getting through seven years as an undergraduate to accomplishing tasks that would otherwise cause severe panic and so many other reasons in between.

I think Journey is one of the most meant to be bands in America and on a global scale for their relatable and inspiring songs.

That is impressive.
