Journey<\/a> keyboardist and guitarist Jonathan Cain<\/a> is paying tribute to slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk with a new solo single.<\/p>\n

Cain previewed the song, titled “No One Else,” on his Instagram account<\/a> Tuesday, Oct. 7, as an homage to the late Turning Point USA founder, who was fatally shot Sept. 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University.<\/p>\n

“A voice that inspired a generation,” Cain wrote in the caption. “A legacy that will never fade. \u2018No One Else’ – written in honor of Charlie Kirk – drops soon. Get ready to feel every word.”<\/p>\n

In an interview on the Christian podcast “Strang Report<\/a>,” where he premiered the full song, Cain said he wanted to honor Kirk’s “movement” and “what I believe he stood for.”<\/p>\n

“That was righteousness, truth and the gospel,” Cain said. “Not since Billy Graham has anybody rocked the world like Charlie, when it comes to just pure amount of how many schools he went to and how ferocious and fearless (he was).”<\/p>\n

Cain said the song’s title reflects how many of Kirk’s supporters described him after his death.<\/p>\n

“We need an appreciation song for what he did,” Cain said. “\u2018No One Else’ – no one else could wear the mantle. The calling on his life was so strong. God used him in such a powerful, powerful way \u2026 And I admired his courage.”<\/p>\n

Last month, fellow Bay Area musician Sammy Hagar shared an emotional tribute<\/a> to Kirk with a somber performance of Merle Haggard’s 1982 hit “Are the Good Times Really Over,” changing the opening lines to urge Americans to “stop rolling downhill” and reflect on national symbols like the flag and the Liberty Bell.<\/p>\n

In the new interview, Cain praised Kirk’s political influence.<\/p>\n

“He helped so many people get in office,” Cain said. “Even JD Vance will still tell you that he couldn’t have gotten to where he got without Charlie Kirk, and Mr. President Trump would say the same.”<\/p>\n
