I love Journey. But for some reason I hated, “Don’t Stop Believin” and I could not understand why I loathed that song until I recently rewatched The Sopranos for the second time after 16 years and the final episode had that song playing until the “blackout.” And now I know why…

Anyone else had a similar experience with a popular song that you couldn’t explain why it rubbed you the wrong way?

      Not just vibes either! That’s actually what the song is about except for some reason no one ever really listens to the lyrics.

        I had read at one point that it was about the USA and the USSR during the cold war… not lovers but always present in each other’s lives. I’ve heard it that way ever since.

      I think it’s the disonance with the music. The music kind of switches of your brain and makes it sound ok.
