Don’t Stop Believin’Journey
Following an impressive piano phrase, a catchy song unfolds in classic Journey fashion, with Steve Perry singing expansively in his husky voice.
Neal Schon’s guitar lines are also very melodic.
Separate WaysJourney
Released in January 1983, this is Journey’s 30th single, and it was also included on their eighth album, Frontiers, released in February of the same year.
The song’s lyrics tell the story of being abruptly broken up with by a once-close lover, yet continuing to think about them and cheer them on even after the separation—a supportive love song that expresses unwavering encouragement and affection.
RooftopsLostprophets
In our everyday lives, how often do we really think about the end of life? If we drift through each day without much thought, we might find ourselves at the very end thinking, “This isn’t how it was supposed to be.” Instead, as this song suggests, let’s live each day so that when life comes to a close, we can truly say, “Yes, this was the life I wanted.”
Nothing lasts foreverMaroon 5
Released in May 2007, this song is included on Maroon 5’s second album, “It Won’t Be Soon Before Long.” The lyrics convey the idea that where there is a meeting, a parting will eventually come, expressing the sense of loss and sorrow that follows losing something precious.
At the same time, it’s an encouraging song that, conversely, affirms that where there is a parting, there will surely be another meeting, embracing a forward-looking outlook.
Beat ItMichael Jackson
A mega-famous catchy song released by Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, who sadly passed away, featuring a very memorable guitar riff.
Eddie Van Halen’s masterful, technique-packed guitar solo is incredibly cool.

JetstreamNew Order
Released in May 2005, this is New Order’s 34th single, and it is also included on their eighth album, “Waiting for the Sirens’ Call,” which was released in March of the same year.
The lyrics convey that, while there are times in life when we face adversity, we don’t always have to fight against the headwinds; sometimes it’s important to ride the wind—like the westerlies—and shift our mindset.
It’s an encouraging song that expresses that sentiment.
Bark at the MoonOzzy Osbourne
A signature track from the album created by the metal emperor, former Black Sabbath member Ozzy Osbourne, featuring Jake E.
Lee on guitar.
Powerful vocals soar over speedy guitar riffs.
The thrilling mid-song guitar solo and the classical phrases toward the end showcase Jake’s full appeal.
