Lost Highway - The Song
Okay, so it's been 6 years since they released the album which, when I heard they were doing, I thought I'd hate but found something very rare in post 2000 Joviland. Some honest and sincere sounding songs (MAM and WLOL spring to mind). It was actually a decent album but I never got into the title track.
It's everything I hate about post 2000 Bon Jovi. Wannabe anthem with a 'get up off your knees, learn how to fly, you can do what you want' message that I absolutely abhor for its simplicity in songs like Born to Follow and What About Now. Lost Highway has every cliche in the book ('In my rear view mirror/my life it getting clearer', 'These trinkets once were treasure/Life changes like the weather' etc.). Christ I feel like a shower after just typing those lyrics out.
But I was driving along in my clapped out bucket of rust the other day listening to the last Greatest Hits Disc 2 (Who in the name of f**k decided Keep the Faith should be on the second disc????) and it came on and I can't stop listening to it.
What the hell is wrong with me?
