Songs from the "Grey summer" era

I wonder if I Want You might be from the same era? I've always thought it could be about the same events as Miss Fourth of July.

And what about Rivers run dry?I've listened to it yesterday evening,but I can't find when was it written!

I toss and turn about that one. I cannot place it. I want to say between D.A and Crush because Richie is not playing on it. I really don't know. I love it so much.

I could see I want you being Grey Summer. I guess anything written for KTF alone by Jon could technically count.

Eh it's too long ago for him to remember. I only remember him saying Bed of Roses was the first he brought to the band because I had JUST watched the interview.

That and I don't know how good of an idea it'd be to announce to the guy that they heard some interviews that shouldn't have been heard by anyone. Meh.

Matt, this was posted on bonjovi.com. I saved it. Looks like River was 1996:

DISC FOUR:
1) LOVE AIN'T NOTHING BUT A FOUR LETTER WORD (Unreleased studio recording from 1992.) This was recorded up in Vancouver and New Jersey, and is much more fleshed out than the original demo version.
2) LOVE AIN'T NOTHING BUT A FOUR LETTER WORD (Original demo from 1992.) This is the first version fo the song as written by Jon Bon Jovi and recorded in New Jersey, prior to taking it further and fleshing it out.
3) RIVER RUNS DRY (Unreleased demo from 1996.) REcorded in New Jersey.
4) ALWAYS (Original demo from 1994.) Recorded in the UK.
5) KIDNAP AN ANGEL (Unreleased demo from 1999.) Recorded in New Jersey.
6) BREATHE (B-Side internationally and Target CD.)- released in 2003; written and recorded 2001/2002 in New Jersey.
7) OUT OF BOUNDS (Unreleased demo from 1986.) Recorded in New Jersey.
LETTER TO A FRIEND (Unreleased demo from 1994.) Recorded in New Jersey.
9) TEMPTATION (Int'l b-side from CRUSH album in 2000.) Recorded in New Jersey.
10) GOTTA HAVE A REASON (Unreleased demo written on spec for a movie sountrack in 1993.) Recorded in New Jersey and Singapore (as documented in the video footage on the box set dvd.)
11) ALL I WANNA DO IS YOU (Unreleased demo from 1997.) Recorded in New Jersey.
12) BILLY (unreleased demo from 1992.) Recorded in New Jersey.
13) NOBODY'S HERO (Unreleased demo from 1994.) Recorded in New Jersey.
14) *Hidden Bonus Track: LIVIN' ON A PRAYER (Original demo of Livin' On A Prayer from 1986... definitely written and recorded in New Jersey!)

I remember seeing this awhile ago. I want to believe it, I really do but some of this stuff is just way off. Ordinary People could not have been from TD era, for instance. That HAD to have been a Crush demo. Even Jon mentions how similar it is to that Shawn Mullins "Lullaby" song and that wasn't even released until the late 90's. All I wanna do is you I still think is a Crush demo. The smash mouth style organs just sounds like late 90's.

I could sort of see River Runs Dry being '96. It does make more sense than it being KTF based like most people thought. Thanks for posting this though!

Yea, there's some inconsistency, don't know who put it together.

Rivers Run Dry is the song the record Company wanted Jon to put on Destination Anywhere as the "safe hit single" because of it's similar style to always.
I have mentioned it before, but no one ever listens to me because I can't for the life of me pin point when and where I read that interview.

Oh interesting, I had not heard that before.
