Escape
Journey
Escape is a rock pick by Journey, best approached as its own performance. This is a deeper cut for listeners who know Journey well. Treat it as a performance piece, not a guaranteed group singalong.

Performance tip
When rehearsing Escape, use the short lines deliberately; clean releases will keep them from sounding disconnected. Use the original recording of Escape to mark exactly where that change happens.
Should you sing it?
Escape makes sense for a singer who can handle room to shape the lines without cramming them and sell the lyric’s point of view. It has more changing verse text than repeated hook material. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
