City of the Angels - Journey - MP3 instrumental karaoke

With Steve Perry's acrobatic vocals steering the band to commercial and critical victory, Journey were already at the height of their success when they dropped their fifth album Evolution, which hit number 20 on the US Billboard 200 chart and sold three million copies in the US. "City of the Angels" sits just after Evolution's biggest hit ("Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'") in the tracklisting. Over a distant piano melody, tough drums from Steve Smith – who made his Journey debut on this album – and smoking hot guitar from Neal Schon, Steve Perry bellows about his love for the song's titular city and all that it offers ("City of the angels / I've got this feeling that things will work out / I've got this feeling, and there ain't no doubt / I'm holding on, hoping to find / Life in this city can bring peace of mind"). Just two years after the release of Evolution, Journey hit the home stretch with "Don't Stop Believin'" which went on to take pride of place as the band's signature song.
