Here’s the deal…truth be told…this writer has a keen love of Bon Jovi’s music. Now before you reach for that mouse to click, listen to the lyrics and the reason becomes apparent.
Richie Sambora, Jon Bongiovi, and their numerous collaborators write from the heart. The lyrics are universal and they have achieved what many writers long for - to link with their listeners. Whether it’s Tommy and Gina or Captain Crash - the writing’s dimension spans everyman (not only every woman).
Listen to the latest from the band - Lost Highways. Really listen. The album has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The story’s there waiting to be found. Music and lyrics delve into our human hurts, hurdles, and happiness. The key to this album rests in the listener identifying with and taking those emotions inward. “Everybody’s Broken” describes the human condition and serves as a reminder to us that we at some point life isn’t a party and we shouldn’t cast judgment on anyone at anytime. “It’s OK to b a little broken.”
There’s more, but I don’t want to sway you one way or the other. Just listen to the album very carefully. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
