The Class Song

Yeah, that's right. Our class has a song. One were everybody sings along to jokingly no matter how bad or silly, one that's played at every eighth grade party. The song is Don't Stop Believin' By Journey. Like the Principal at my recent graduation, I got the lyrics handy right here.
She took the midnight train goin anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
(chorus)
Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people
Unlike my 'stuck-in-the-sixties' Principal, I'm going skip the sentimental speech about the lyrics and our grade, and go straight to why this song is important to me among as an individual among a class of about fifty people. As some of you may know, I'm going to boarding school next fall and as a result, am not going to see some of the people I've known and grown up with for nine years a lot anymore. Towards the end of the year, that got to be hard on me, despite previous feelings of relish for the new boarding school experience. So you know what I did? I went and bought Don't Stop Believin' on iTunes so I could remember all the great times I've spent with all my great friends and my life in this small skiing town.
Funny how a seemingly unrelated song can bring back so many fond memories.
