it was meant for what eventually became Destination anywhere. That was to be the sure ballad hit of the album, but Jon decided to go on another more artsy route with the record.

i agree
It took me by surprise the from the first time i played the boxset

Its one of the most atmospheric, dark, yet still beautiful songs Jon have made

It always puts you on a different state of mind, like "Dry county"
Anyway fantastic ,i love the way he sings " everybody knoooows you can lead a horse to water.......

He sounds very good on that part.

I love it, too.
It would have fit DA really good IMO, though if I hadn't known it I'd thought it was a TD demo.

Especially love the vocal harmonies in the chorus...

I think sometimes Bon Jovi get a little too close to springsteen. I think this song is lovely, but i find it a little derivative and for that reason i've never really given it the listens that it perhaps deserves... Tis rather lovely though and I'd like to see a re-worked version come out in future... Can almost imagine it with when we were beautiful...? Something about the lyrics and the theme of 'just another role of the dice, tried to touch it but i couldn't fly etc' and the 'i took my chance, i took my shot, when did it end'....
