Track #11 on Fiona Apple’s fourth studio album The Idler Wheel Is Wiser than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More than Ropes Will Ever Do.

“Don’t Stop Believin'” was released as a single off of Journey’s hugely successful album Escape. To many, this song is considered the definitive Journey track. AllMusic’s Mike DeGagne described it as “an anthem for the young who wanted to feel free and unrestricted”, whilst The Guardian’s Dorian Lynskey called it “the power ballad that refused to die”.
Although the track only reached #8 at the time of its release, it has grown more popular as the years have gone by through its use in movies, television (most notably The Sopranos and Glee) and pop culture in general. In November 2008, it became the first song to be downloaded 2 million times from iTunes. Three years later, it was the top-selling catalogue track in iTunes history, with over 5 million digital copies sold.
This is one of 12 tracks re-recorded by the band with their new vocalist Arnel Pineda for their 2008 double album Revelation.

The Alice in the song refers to restaurant-owner Alice M. Brock, who in 1964 used $2,000 supplied by her mother to purchase a deconsecrated church in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, where Alice, her husband Ray, and their dog Fasha would live.
It was at the church, rather than at the restaurant – which came later — where the song’s Thanksgiving dinners were actually held. The original Alice’s Restaurant is located in Stockbridge, about a six-mile walk down the road from the church. The actual name of Alice’s restaurant was “The Back Room”. Brock had the restaurant for only a year before having to sell it.
The restaurant became “Theresa’s Stockbridge Cafe” in 2009. As of 2020, the location now houses a restaurant called “Main Street Cafe”.
