How can anyone forget about These Days!?!?!! Funny, I listened to it last night out loud, first time in...I'd say a month (that's a lot for me) And I had those WOW moments all over again, too. My mum (a newish, average fan) was like, "I love this song, it's lovely!", "I love this one too! It's lovely!" I'm like, "mum, you really have to listen to this whole album, all the way though, you'll fall in love with it" I never ever tire of saying - These Days is an absolute masterpiece. Their best album, lyrically...it's so poetic.I'm a "writer" I get most of my poetry/lyric inspiration from this album Amazing. I can't understand how any Bon Jovi fan in their right mind, could not think it's stunning! Haha. Sorry, I get really into it when talkign about this album. Just proves how amazing it is. It's my favourite album, where lyrics/emotion is concerned. And New Jersey is my favourite ROCK album. Not saying These Days isn't rock...but I think you'll all know what I mean. I'm gonna listen to it now.

Thanks to Oli's film, I've rediscovered Letting You Go. That is all.

I've had loads of inspiration from this album too. Some of the lines are just beautiful.

Yep, totally. Just a random line, from many greats off this album, but - "when I cut you off, I cut myself with the same damn knife" Just that line alone, to me is like...woah. I try to write lines as good as that now. I think it's fair to say, I'm a bit hard on myself...I'm trying to reach These Day standards, haha. My ex also writes, and he got lots of his inspitation from this album, also. (I turned him into a big BJ fan. It took some effort though, he wouldn't even give them a chance at first. He was like, yeah yeah, when I would put the CD/DVD's on. Then he became hooked. Oh, I'm good, I deserve an award. )

Hey God, gimme something for the pain
There ain't no love songs left these days
Though you lie to me, I know my guitar is bleeding
Is that what it takes?
When it's so damn hard to let you go
I'll wear your diamond ring and bleed like Romeo
And when hearts are breaking even I need something to believe in!


Oh yeah! *does happy dance*

I was bored, ok?

I write too though (not limited to the above), I probably suck but I still do it.

When I first became a bon jovi nut in 2001, I wasn't crazy about the album. Spent most of my time listening to crush, sww, nj, KTF, ect.. But I got around to it and love the album. Probably my 3 or 4 favorite behind KTF, Nj, and mabye slippery. it's close.

Hehe, very good. Just might be a bit obvious, it's ripped off These Days.
