Sejarah


 Awal mula
Kisah Bon Jovi bermula dari daerah Sayreville, New Jersey. Ketika itu Jon Bon Jovi (vokalis dan gitaris Bon Jovi) dan kedua saudaranya diangkat oleh Carol dan John Bongiovi. Sejak umur 10, Jon kecil sering ke klub lokal. Ia yakin suatu hari ia akan menjadi bintang rock. Panggungnya sangat dekat dengan rumah Jon. Saat berusia 16 tahun, Jon bermain dari satu klub ke klub lainnya. Namun, tak perlu waktu lama untuk menggaet David Bryan (keyboardis Bon Jovi). Bryan memainkan lagu-lagu R&B, dan bandnya adalah Atlantic City Expressway. Jon juga bermain bersama The Rest, The Lechers, dan John Bongiovi And The Wild Ones. Sementara itu, Richie Sambora (gitaris Bon Jovi) bergabung dalam band Extreme, band dengan sedikit sentuhan funk dan fusion outfit, sebelum menggaet Alec John Such (mantan bassis Bon Jovi) ke dalam band bernama The Message. Setelah The Message pecah, Alec bergabung bersama Tico Torres (drummer Bon Jovi) dalam Phantom's Opera. Namun formasi inti Bon Jovi belum terbentuk sampai Maret 1983. Pada suatu saat yang tepat, tempat yang tepat, dan orang yang tepat, Jon bekerja sebagai penyapu lantai pada sebuah studio rekaman. Jon telah menulis Runaway, dan dengan back-up orang studio yang disewa sepupu Jon, Tony Bongiovi, Jon merekam Runaway. 5 orang yang membantu Jon merekam Runaway adalah : Dave "The Snake" Sabo (gitaris), Tim Pierce (gitaris), Hugh McDonald (bassis), Roy Bittan - (keyboardis), dan Frankie LaRocha - (drummer). Stasiun radio lokal memperkenalkan Runaway pada pita kompilasi. Segera lagu itu sering diputar di radio karena diminta pendengarnya. Kesuksesan dari Runaway membuat Jon berfikir, ia harus punya personil inti jika ingin sukses dengan melakukan perjalanan antar klub untuk mendukung singelnya itu. Mulanya, Jon menarik Alec dan Tico, lalu David Bryan (sebelumnya sudah masuk), lalu gitaris Dave "The Snake" Sabo, yang kemudian masuk ke Skid Row, dan akhirnya, Dave diganti oleh Richie. Mereka memulai pertunjukan di New York. Band ini akhirnya bergabung dengan perusahaan rekaman Derek Shulman dengan PolyGram-nya. Band ini mulanya bernama Victor, John Lightening, Jon Bongiovi's, dan akhirnya berubah nama menjadi Bon Jovi.






1980-an
Album pertama mereka dinamai sesuai nama band mereka, yaitu Bon Jovi. Album ini dirilis tanggal 21 Januari 1984. Ciri khas Bon Jovi adalah musik rock ballad, memberikan tune-tune dan mendahulukan riff-riff gitar serta menciptakan melodi yang baik. Hasilnya album ini meraih gold karena berhasil terjual sebanyak 500 ribu keping. Album yang terasa berat dan penuh penjiwaan ini bercerita tentang bagaimana menjadi seorang anak remaja. Album ini menelurkan 2 hit, yaitu Runaway dan She Don't Know Me. Pada tahun 1985, Bon Jovi merilis album 7800° Fahrenheit, yang terjual kurang lebih sama seperti album sebelumnya. Album ini memperkenalkan hit singles berjudul Hardest Part Is The Night, Only Lonely, Tokyo Road, dan Silent Night. Setahun kemudian, lagi-lagi Bon Jovi mengeluarkan album. Kali ini berjudul Slippery When Wet, yang menghasilkan hits Livin' On A Prayer dan Wanted Dead Or Alive. Album ini telah terjual sebanyak 26 juta copies di seluruh dunia sampai sekarang. Album Slippery When Wet menduduki tangga album teratas di Amerika Serikat. Tahun 1988, Bon Jovi kembali dengan album berjudul New Jersey. Album ini mencetak singles Lay Your Hands On Me, Bad Medicine, I'll Be There For You, dan Born To Be My Baby. Album ini juga meraih peringkat album teratas di Amerika Serikat. Prestasi sama juga ditorehkan di Inggris. Album ini sudah terjual sebanyak 18 juta keping.


 1990-an

Selama 6 tahun Bon Jovi tidak merilis album. Tidak heran kalau berkembang rumor bahwa Bon Jovi sudah bubar. Lagipula, vokalis sekaligus gitaris Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi, memiliki proyek solo yaitu album Blaze Of Glory yang merupakan sountrack film Young Guns II, yang berhasil meraih predikat "The Best Sountrack Album". Album ini berhasil menghasilkan hits Blaze Of Glory. Untuk menuntaskan rumor itu, pada tahun 1992, Bon Jovi mengeluarkan album yang kali ini diberi tajuk Keep The Faith. Album ini mencetak hits berjudul Keep The Faith, In These Arms, Dry Country, dan Bed Of Roses. Peringkat no.1 tangga album di Inggris berhasil diraih album ini. 2 tahun kemudian, Bon Jovi merilis album Cross Road. Materi album ini adalah lagu-lagu hits dari tahun 1984-1992 ditambah 2 lagu baru, yaitu Always dan Someday I'll Be Saturday Night. Track 10 dirilis berbeda-beda di beberapa wilayah. Di Jepang Track 10 adalah Tokyo Road dari album 7800° Fahrenheit. Di Amerika Serikat, ada Prayer'94 (remix dari lagu Livin' On A Prayer dalam album Slippery When Wet). Di negara-negara lain adalah In These Arms (Keep The Faith). Album ini juga meraih peringkat album nomor wahid di Inggris. Pada bulan Juli 1995, Bon Jovi kembali dengan album These Days. Lagi-lagi album ini laris-manis karena hits berjudul This Ain't A Love Song dan Lie To Me. Namun, posisi sang pencabik bas, Alec John Such, diganti oleh Hugh McDonald (anggota tidak resmi) karena ketergantungan kepada obat terlarang. Album ini juga berhasil menduduki tangga album teratas di Inggris. Pada tahun 1997, Jon Bon Jovi mengeluarkan album solo keduanya yang berjudul Destination Anywhere.


 2000-an
Setelah 3 tahun vakum, Bon Jovi kembali pada tahun 2000 dengan album Crush. Album ini meledak di seluruh dunia dengan hitsnya yaitu It's My Life, Thank You For Loving Me,Next 100 Years,One Wild Night,Just Older. Album ini terjual 15 juta keping di seluruh dunia dan meraih peringkat tangga album teratas di Inggris. Tahun 2002, Bon Jovi merilis album Bounce yang berhasil mempopulerkan hits Everyday, Misunderstood, dan All About Lovin' You. Album ini nuansa rocknya tidak terlalu pelan, juga tidak terlalu keras. Pada November 2003, Bon Jovi merilis album This Left Feels Right. Materinya adalah lagu-lagu lama yang diaransemen ulang dari tahun 1984-2002. Pada September 2005, mereka merilis album Have A Nice Day. Hitsnya adalah Have A Nice Day, Last Cigarette, I Want To Be Loved, Welcome To Wherever You Are, I Am, dan Who Says You Can't Go Home. Pada pekan pertama, album Have A Nice Day terjual sebanyak 202 ribu keping. Lagu Who Says You Can't Go Home meraih penghargaan Grammy, yaitu "The Best Country Collaboration With Vocal". Bon Jovi kembali membuat album terbaru pada tahun 2007, yang berjudul Lost Highway. Hitsnya adalah (You Want To) Make A Memory. Walaupun enak didengar, hanya satu lagu yang melodinya kuat, yaitu Til We Ain't Strangers Anymore. Lagu lainnya berunsur rock yang ditambah dengan musik country di sana-sini. Nuansa rock dalam album ini serba tanggung, karena tidak terlalu keras, juga tidak terlalu pelan. Dalam album ini, Bon Jovi berkolaborasi dengan 2 musisi country, yaitu Big & Rich dan Le-Ann Rimes. Album ini mencatat prestasi penjualan album Bon Jovi terbanyak dalam sepekan yang berjumlah 292 ribu.

Hey, man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
I'm feelin' like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night

Hey, my name is Jim, where did I go wrong
My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone
I just can't hold a job, where do I belong
I'm sleeping in my car, my dreams move on

My name is Billy Jean, my love was bought and sold
I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went, took my innocence away
The street life ain't much better, but at least I get paid

And Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive

Hey man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey man, I gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night

Now I can't say my name, and tell you where I am
I want to roll myself away, don't know if I can
I wish that I could be in some other time and place
With someone else's soul, someone else's face

Oh, Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive

Hey man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey man, I gotta live my life
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night

Saturday night
Here we go

Some day I'll be Saturday night
I'll be back on my feet, I'll be doin' alright
It may not be tomorrow baby, that's okay
And I ain't goin' down, gonna find a way, hey hey hey

Hey man, I'm alive, I'm takin' each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey man, I'm gonna live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Oh, I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night

Saturday night
All right, all right
Saturday night

Seven days of saturday
Is all that I need
Got no use for Sunday
'Cause I don't rest in peace
Don't need no Mondays
Or the rest of the week
I spend a lot of time in bed
But baby I don't like to sleep no

I won't lie to you
I'm never gonna cry to you
I'll probably drive you wild 8 days a week

Until I'm 6 feet under
Baby I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead

So you're looking for some action
I got got everything you need
Better keep your motor running
'cause I was built for speed
This ain't no slumber party
Got no time for catching z's
If they say that that ain't healthy
Well then living's a disease

We're never going to die baby
Come on let me drive you crazy
We'll make every night another New Year's Eve

Till I'm six feet under
I won't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead

Sleep when I'm dead, sleep when I'm dead
Gonna live while I'm alive,
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Seven days of Saturday
Is all that I need

Got no use for Sunday
'Cause I don't rest in peace
I was born to live
You know I wasn't born to die
But if they party down in heaven
I'll be sure to be on time

Until I'm six feet under
I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead

I feel like I'm exploding
Going out of my head
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead

Till I'm six feet under
And they lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead

Sleep when I'm dead, sleep when I'm dead
Gonna live while I'm alive, sleep when I'm dead

Hey God lyrics - Bon Jovi

Hey God, I'm just a little man got a wife and family
But I almost lost the house
Yeah, I bought into the dream
We're barely holdin' on, when I'm in way to deep
We're two paychecks away from living out on the streets

She's a workin' single mom, like a Saint she doesn't complain
She never says a word, but she thinks that she's to blame
Her son just got convicted, he blew some punk away
She did her best to raise him, but the world got in the way

Hey God - Tell me what the hell is going on
Seems like all the good shits gone
It keeps on getting harder hanging on
Hey God, there's nights you know I want to scream
These days you've even harder to believe
I know how busy you must be, but Hey God...
Do you ever think about me

Born into the ghetto in 1991, just a happy child
Playing beneath the summer sun
A vacant lots' his playground, by 12 he's got a gun
The odds are bet against him, junior don't make 21

Hey God - Tell me what the hell is going on
Seems like all the good shits gone
It keeps on getting harder hangin' on
Hey God, there's nights you know I want to scream
These days you've even harder to believe
I know how busy you must be, but Hey God...

I'd get down on my knees
I'm going to try this thing you way
Seen a dying man too proud to beg spit on his own grave
Was he too gone to save?
Did you even know his name?
Are you the one to blame, I got something to say

Hey God - Tell me what the hell is going on
Seems like all the good shits gone
It keeps on getting harder hangin' on
Hey God, there's nights you know I want to scream
These days you've even harder to believe
I know how busy you must be, but Hey God...
Do you ever think about me

Everybody's Broken lyrics - Bon Jovi

Welcome to the party
Come on in and disappear
You're feeling like a stranger
But all your friends are here
Little lines and cracks
Around your eyes and mouth
Something's trying to get in
Something's trying to get out

It's ok, to be a little broken
Everybody's broken, in this life
It's ok, to feel a little broken
Everybody's broken, your alright
It's just life

Step into the deep end
Make yourself at home
When you wonder why your breathing
Know your not alone
It's so hard to believe
It's easier to doubt
You're trying to hold in
But your dying to scream out

It's ok to be a little broken
Everybody's broken

In this life
It's ok to feel a little broken
Everybody's broken, your alright
It's alright, it's just life

[Solo]

Take a look around
Tell me what you see
Is who you think you are
Who you want to be

It's ok, to be a little broken
Everybody's broken, in this life
It's ok, to feel a little broken
Everybody's broken, your alright
Just keep on going
Eyes wide open
Everybody's broken
Everybody's broken
Everybody's broken
Everybody's broken
Everybody's broken
Everybody's broken
Yeah

I'll Be There For You lyrics

I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love in suicide

You say you're cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore

Now I'm praying to God
You'll give me one more chance, girl

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you

I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

I know you know we're had some good times
How they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday

And baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drink, I'll be the wine

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you

I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

And I wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you

I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

Thank You For Loving Me lyrics



Songwriters: Bon Jovi, Jon; Sambora, Richard;

It's hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There's no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light

Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes when I couldn't see for
Parting my lips when I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky's a different blue

Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
That you believed my lies

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes when I couldn't see
For parting my lips when I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me, yeah

Lock the doors
Leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes oh, when I couldn't see
You parted my lips when I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

When I couldn't fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips when I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Oh for loving me

Something To Believe In lyrics - Bon Jovi

I lost all faith in my God, in his religion too
I told the angels they could sing their songs to someone new
I lost all trust in my friends
I watched my heart turn to stone
I thought that I was left to walk this wicked world alone

Tonight I'll dust myself off
Tonight I'll suck my gut in
I'll face the night and I'll pretend
I got something to believe in

And I had lost touch with reason
I watched life criticize the truth
Been waiting for a miracle
I know you have too

Though I know I won't win
I'll take this one on the chin
We'll raise a toast and I'll pretend
I got something to believe in

If I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe the Pope
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe in dope
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin
In a world that gives you nothing
We need something to believe in

If I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe the Pope
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe in dope
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin
In a world that gives you nothing
We need something to believe in

Never Say Goodbye lyrics - Bon Jovi

As I sit in this smokey room
The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
But this bottle's my only friend

Remember when we used to park
On Butler Street out in the dark
Remember when we lost the keys
And you lost more than that in my backseat

Remember how we used to talk
About busting out - we'd break their hearts
Together - forever

Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on - we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye

Remember days of skipping school
Racing cars and being cool
With a six pack and the radio
We didn't need no place to go

Remember at the prom that night
You and me we had a fight
But the band they played our favorite song
And I held you in my arms so strong

We danced so close
We danced so slow
And I swore I'd never let you go
Together - forever

Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on - we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye

I guess you'd say we used to talk
About busting out
We'd break their hearts
Together - forever

Miracle lyrics - Bon Jovi

A penny for your thoughts now baby
Looks like the weight of the world's on your shoulders now
I know you think you're going crazy
Just when it seems everything's gonna work itself out
They drive you right back down

And you said it ain't fair
That a man walks
When a bird can fly
We have to kick the ground
The stars kiss the sky
They say that spirits live
A man has to die
They promised us truth
Now they're giving us lies

Gonna take a miracle top save us this time (ooh...)
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle 'cause it's all on the line
And I won't let you down
(No I won't let you down, ooh...)
The river of your hope is flooding
And I know the dam is busted
If you need me I'll come running
I won't let you down... no, no

You're looking for salvation
You thought that it'd be shining like an angel's light, yeah
Well, the angels left this nation
And salvation caught the last train out tonight
He lost a hell of a fight

He said: "I'm just one man, that's all I'll ever be
I never can be everything you wanted from me
I've got big plans so big that any blind man could see
I'm standing in the river
Now I'm drowning in the sea

Gonna take a miracle top save us this time (ooh...)
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle 'cause your heart's on the line
And your heartbeat is slowing down (heartbeat's blowing, ooh...)
Your feet are grounded still you're reaching for the sky
You can let 'em clip your wings 'cause I believe that you can fly

[Solo (fly baby)]

Well my eyes have seen the horror of the coming of the flood
I've driven deep the thorny crown into the soul of someone's son
Still I'll look you in the eye 'cause I've believed in things I've thought
And I'll die without regret for the wars I have fought

Gonna take a miracle top save you this time (ooh...)
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle 'cause your heart's doing time
And your conscience is calling you out (conscience's calling, ooh...)
It ain't all for nothing
Life ain't written in the sand
I know the tide is coming
But it's time we made a stand with a miracle

Gonna take a miracle, I need a miracle
I need a miracle, I need a miracle
Na, miracle (miracle) oh...

Rainy night and we worked all day
We both got jobs 'cause there's bills to pay
We got something they can't take away
Our love, our lives

Close the door, leave the cold outside
I don't need nothing when I'm by your side
We got something that'll never die
Our dreams, our pride

My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

Light a candle, blow the world away
Table for two on a TV tray
It ain't fancy, baby that's OK
Our time, our way

So hold me close better hang on tight
Buckle up, baby, it's a bumpy ride
We're two kids hitching down the road of life
Our world, our fight

If we stand side by side (all night)
There's a chance we'll get by (and it's alright)
And I'll know that you'll be live
In my heart till the day that I die

Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

[Solo]

My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside

Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan

Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

Santa Fe - Bon Jovi

Video disini














They say that no man is an island
And good things come to those who wait
But the things I hear are there just to remind me
Every dog will have his day

The spirits, they intoxicate me
I watched them infiltrate my soul
They try to say it's too late for me
Tell my guns I'm coming home

I swear I'm gonna live forever
Tell my maker he can wait
I'm riding somewhere south of heaven
Heading back to Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe

Once I was promised absolution
There's only one solution for my sins
You gotta face your ghosts and know with no illusions
That only one of you is going home again

And I blame this world for making a good man evil
It's this world that can drive a good man mad
And it's this world that turns a killer into a hero
Well I blame this world for making a good man bad

Now I ain't getting into heaven
if the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe
Lord have mercy

[Guitar solo]

So I save a prayer when I need it most
To the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
And sign it from a sinner with no name
When I meet my maker
Will he close the book
on the hearts I broke and the lives I took ?
Will he walk away 'cause my soul's too late to save ?

Now I ain't getting into heaven
If the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe

I wake up in the mornin'
And I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm goin'
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind, yeah

You're brought into this world
But they say you're born in sin
Well at least they've given me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well, they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah I'm a wanted man
I'm colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Able
Mister catch me if you can

I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Take me now but know the truth
I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun

You ask about my conscience
And I offer you my soul
You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I'll grow old
You ask me if I known love
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain?
Well, I've seen love come
I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vain

Shot down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Take me now but know the truth
But I'm going down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Lord, I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm a devil's son
Call me young gun
Yeah

Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No, I ain't lookin' for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord, I got to ask a favor
And I'll hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
Starin' down the bullet
Let me make my final stand

Shot down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Lord, I never drew first
But, I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun

I'm the young gun
Young gun, yea eee yea
Young gun

Bed Of Roses lyrics


Songwriters: Bongiovi, Jon;
Video  " disini "

Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares, think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and french kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps it's own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth, what you mean to me and the truth is
Baby you're all that I need

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away the step that I take's on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
To see through this pay phone
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to
You I'll just close my eyes, whisper baby blind love is true

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
Well I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
Ooh yeah

Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove for it's you that I'd die to defend

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Biografi Bob Marley

Biografi Bob Marley








Kapten Norval Sinclair Marley adalah seseorang yang berperawakan kecil. Ia adalah seorang pengawas tanah perusahaan Crown Lands, milik Pemerintahan Inggris yang telah menjajah Jamaika sejak tahun 1660-an yang terletak sebelah utara pulau itu. Pangkat yang disandangnya ia dapat saat menjadi komandan markas di Resimen British Hindia Barat. Suatu saat ia bertemu dengan Cendella, seorang wanita pribumi yang telah mamikat hatinya pada saat dia sedang berkunjung ke distrik Nine Miles. Hubungan mereka menjadi pergunjingan warga setempat karena Ras.


Pada Mei 1944 cedella mengejutkan keluarganya karena hamil. Sehingga pada hari jumat dilaksanakanlah pernikahan antara Norval dengan Cendella dan sehari setelah pernikahan mereka, Cendella diungsikan ke Kingston agar tidak tercorek namanya sebagai ahli waris keluarganya.

Dan akhirnya Cendella melahirkan seorang anak yang diberi nama Robert Nesta Marley yang lahir pada pukul 2.30, Rabu Februari 1945 dengan bobot enam setengan pon (3.25 kg) di Nine Miles. Konon pada malam kelahirannya, banyak orang melihat beberapa meteor jatuh, yang menurut keyakinannya akan lahir seorang tokoh besar.

Pada tahun 1950 Cendella pindah ke Trench Town – Kingston. Marley mulay berinteraksi dengan geng-geng jalanan yang kemudian berlanjut menjadi gerombolan bernama “The Rudeboys. Walaupun berperawakan kecil seperti ayahnya, tapi karena kekuatannya ia dijuluki “Tuff Gong”.

Setelah Marley drop out dari sekolahnya ia mulai tertarik dengan musik. Pada awal 1962 Bob Marley, Bunny Livingstone, Peter Mcintosh, Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso dan Cherry Smith membentuk grup ska & rocksteady dengan nama “The Teenager” yang nantinya berubah menjadi The Wailing Rudeboys dan berganti lagi menjadi The Wailing Wailer dan akhirnya menjadi The Wailers.


Pada tahun 1977, Bob Marley divonis terkena kanker kulit, namun disembunyikan dari publik. Bob Marley kembali ke Jamaica tahun 1978, dan mengeluarkan SURVIVAL pada tahun 1979 diikuti oleh kesuksesan tur keliling Eropa.

Bob Marley melakukan 2 pertunjukan di Madison Square Garden dalam rangka merengkuh warga kulit hitam di Amerika Serikat. Namun pada tanggal 21 September 1980, Bob Marley pingsan saat jogging di NYC’s Central Park. Kankernya telah menyebar sampai otak, paru-paru dan lambung. Penyanyi reggae inipun akhirnya menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya di Miami Hospital pada 11 Mei 1981 di usia 36 tahun, dengan meninggalkan seorang istri dan 5 orang anak.


Terlihat jelas melalui sinar matahari jamaika kamu dapat memilih bagian dari dongeng tentang Marley antara lain : tentang kesedihan, cinta, pemahaman, dan Godgiven talent.

Dua dekade setelah dia meninggal, Imensitas (kebesaran) Bob Marley menempatkannya menjadi satu diantara figur-figur transenden terbesar sepanjang abad. Riak-riak yang dilakukannya menyebrang dari sungai musiknya kedalam samudera politik, etika, gaya filsfat, dan agama (Rastafaria). Bob Marley dimasukkan ke dalam Rock n Roll Hall of Fame pada tahun 1994. Majalah time memilih lagu Bob Marley & The Wailers Exodus sebagai album terbersar pada abad ke-20. pada tahun 2001 ia memenangkan Grammy Lifetime Achivement Award.

Pada tahun yang sama kemudian film documenter tentang hidupnya dibuat oleh Jeremy Marre, Rebel Music, dinominasikan untuk The Best Long Form Music Video documentary at the Grammies, serta penghargaan untuk beberapa kategori lainnya. Dengan kontribusi dari Rita, The Wailers, dan para pecintanya serta anaknya, film tersebut menceritakan tentang Marley, yang juga disertai kata-kata Marley sendiri. Pada musim panas tahun 2006, Kota New York memberikan penghargaan tersendiri bagi Bob Marley dengan memberi nama pada jalam gereja dari jalan Ramsen ke East 98th street dibagian timur Brookliyn dengan memberi nama “Marley Boulevard”. Dan masih banyak lagi penghargaan yang Bob Marley dapatkan.

Kisah hidup Bob Marley adalah sebuah arketipe, itulah kenapa karya-karyanya abadi dan terus bergema. Bob Marley berbicara tentang represi politik, wawasan metafisik dan artistic, kesejahteraan dan apa saja yang mengusiknya. “No Women No Cry” masih akan terus mengahapus air mata dari wajah seorang janda “Exodus” masih akan memunculkan ksatria, “Redemtion Song” masih akan menjadi tangisan emansipasi untuk melawan segala tirrani, “Waiting in Vaint” akan tetap menggairahkan, dan “One Love” akan terus menjadi himne internasional bagi kesatuan kemanusiaan didunia melampui batas-batas, melampui kepercayaan-kepercayaan, di mana tiap orang akan sadar dan mempelajarinya.

Bob Marley bukan hanya sekedar bintang musik yang sebagian besar rekamannya memecahkan rekor internasional, namun ia juga menjadi sebuah figure moral dan religius. Selain Bob Marley kita juga harus mengakui bahwa banyak musisi yang lebih unggul dari penemuan instrumental, gaya vocal gubahan musik, dan sebagainya.tetapi hanya Bob Marley yang dapat membuat kita melihat ribuan orang Hpi dari Mexico, Maori dari Selandia Baru bahkan komunitas-nya di Indonesia (Jogjakarta dan Bali), berkumpul tiap tahun untuk menghormatinya.

Banyak penggemarnya di seluruh dunia meniru gaya rambut dreadlocknya karena fanatic walaupun tidak sedikit pula yang meniru dreadlock Bob Marley karena terkena imbas voyeurisme, padahal sebenarnya dreadlock Bob Marley sebagai bagian dari keyakinannya akan ajran Rastafarian, dan bukan dari pengkulturan dari selebriti idolanya. Pada umumnya di Indonesia, sosok Bob Marley banyak diidentikkan dengan ganja, padahal ganja adalah ritual serta bagian dari ajaran Rastafarian dan Bob Marly adalah penganutnya. Wajar bila ia mengkonsumsi, menjadikan syair, dan menyanyikannya.

Bon Jovi - Living On A Prayer

Living On A Prayer lyrics
Bongiovi, Jon; Sambora, Richard; Child, Desmond;

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike, he's down on his luck
It's tough, so tough

Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love, mmm, for love

She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We got each other and that's a lot
For love we'll give it a shot!

Oh, we're half way there
Oh oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Oh oh, livin' on a prayer

Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk
So tough, mmm, it's tough

Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
"Baby it's okay, someday"

We gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We got each other and that's a lot
For love we'll give it a shot!

Oh, we're half way there
Oh oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Oh oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer!

We gotta hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got

Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer

Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer

Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Last Cigarette - Bon Jovi

Regrets are all you left, on your lipstick stains
Take a picture of our past there in that ashtray
We had our fun, I used to light your flame
Like the dancing smoke that rose we tried to find our way

No one told me, she told me

Your love's like one last cigarette
Last cigarette, I will savor it
The last cigarette
Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends
But when it's gone, it's gone
The last cigarette

Just to breathe reminds me of what used to be
The smoke's the ghost that keeps you close when I can't sleep
Don't ask the past to last, it's about to change
The memories don't answer when I call your name

No one told me, she told me

[Chorus]
Your love's like one last cigarette
Last cigarette, I will savor it
The last cigarette
Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends
But when it's gone, it's gone
One last cigarette, last cigarette
One I can't forget, the last cigarette
Right there at my fingertips, got your taste still on my lips
Right or wrong
You're still gone, gone, gone

No one told me, she told me
You always lose the girl in a Brian Wilson world

[Chorus]

No one told me, she told me
The Last Cigarette
(Jon Bon Jovi and Luciano Pavarotti, Modena, June 9th 1998)

Last night I had a dream that there would be a morning after
Long days, sunshine, and peace
Long nights of love, forgiveness, and laughter
Maybe it was just a dream but it could be reality
Children are like planting seeds, you’ve got to let their flowers grow
Don’t you know

Fà che piova, (Let it rain)
Fà che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
Fà che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of love)

Through the rain I saw a child just like my child
Someone’s son or daughter
I watched as they played for a while
I wanted to cry, those babies just smiled
Maybe it was just a dream, but it should be reality
A child is just God’s sign that peace and love are seeds to make
tomorrow grow

Fà che piova, (Let it rain)
Fà che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
Fà che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of love)

Go on, we’ve tried war
No one wants peace more
Than the children who ask their dads why

Fà che piova, (Let it rain)
Fà che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
Fà che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of love)
Welcome To Wherever You Are - Bon Jovi

Maybe we're different, but we're still the same 
We all got the blood of Eden, running through our veins 
I know sometimes it's hard for you to see 
You come between just who you are and who you wanna be 

If you feel alone, and lost and need a friend 
Remember every new beginning, is some beginning's end  

[Chorus]  
Welcome to wherever you are 
This is your life, you made it this far 
Welcome, you gotta believe That right here right now, you're exactly where you're supposed to be 
Welcome, to wherever you are 

When everybody's in, and you're left out 
And you feel your drowning, in a shadow of a doubt 
Everyones a miracle in their own way Just listen to yourself, not what other people say 


When it seems you're lost, alone and feeling down  
Remember everybody's different 
Just take a look around  

[Chorus] 
 
Be who you want to, be who you are Everyones a hero, everyones a star 
 
When you wanna give up, and your hearts about to break Remember that you're perfect, God makes no mistakes  

[Chorus]
