Journey needs to redo What It Takes To Win and make it rock harder and turn it into a rock anthem. It can be used at sporting events if it rocked out. The way it is now, nobody is going to use it.

Change the chorus, too. "When you learn how to lose you learn how to win" makes no damn sense. Maybe "When you learn how to practice, you learn how to win."

They should redo it and play the new Hard Rocking version at every concert.

Then they can release it as a single available only in Ukraine!

That song sucks and is beyond repair.

If you were any kind of sports fan, or played sports yourself - you would know that a team/athlete learns more about themselves from a loss rather than a win. What can you glean from a win? Nothing. If a team is good, they're good. But from a loss....you can analyze WHY you lost. So your premise is whack!

And your other premise about practice?

And it's not because you didn't practice!!

Oh goodness gracious, something negative about a J song in here? I'm telling the boss!

Yeah. This song is cheese. Something you would expect to hear on the Rocky VI soundtrack or something. Not very cool.

Sorry, but its just honesty where it's due.

I was being a smart ass

If you learn from losing, the Detroit Lions should win the Super Bowl every damn year and the Chicago Cubs should win the World Series every damn year, too!

Meh. I admit it's the dumbest song off of Revelations, but since me and my dad are huge Tar Heel fans, we dig the song for when it comes to thinking about our team.

But yeah, it's certainly not a song that I'd personally want to hear live.

Step away from the Detroit Bashing!! Good example, bad point ...losing builds character, is humbling
and makes winning more precious!!

Detroit lives by the Don't Stop Believin' mindset, anyway ...I don't see that
ever changing!!

I am not bashing Detroit. I have been waiting for the Lions to win Super Bowl all my life.

I understand now. When you play a sport, it is better to play somebody better than you so you can learn from it. If you play against somebody worse than you, then you will blow them out and learn nothing.

I dig it.

I love Revelations, but What It Takes To Win seems to suck all the air out of the release.

worst song on the Revelation album. Lyrically, I thought I was listening to the soundtrack for Rocky 26. LAME lyrics. Musically, I think it's okay, but it's the only track I skip on the album.

Those who say I don't critique the new version of Journey, please bookmark this post.

At first I hated that song because it was so cliche lyrically. Now I don't mind it because sonically it's interesting and unique for the band. I would still rank it low in Journey's repretoire but not at the bottom.
