Journey's new Covid Belter

Hear Journey’s First New Song This Decade, ‘The Way We Used To Be’

Song will appear on band’s upcoming LP, their first album since 2011’s Eclipse

Journey have shared a music video for “The Way We Used To Be,” which is their first new music since their 2011 LP Eclipse. It’s also the debut of Journey’s new lineup, which now features Narada Michael Walden on drums, Randy Jackson on bass, and Jason Derlatka on keyboards and backing vocals in addition to returning members Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, and Arnel Pineda.

“[This song] came out of one of the many loops I’d written while the long downtime continued with the pandemic we all had to deal with,” Schon said in a statement. “So utilizing my time and trying to keep fans in touch I started posting many jams and loops I created very quickly most every day. On ‘The Way We Used To Be’ I laid down the keyboard loop with over-dubbed rhythm and a little blues lead guitar and sent to Jonathan. He sent it back very shortly after with demo vocals and lyrics and I said to myself with a smile, ‘We’ve still got it!'”
