Somehow I knew a bunch of people were going to be saying ALWAYS.
It just goes to show how many people actually pay attention to what Bon Jovi songs mean or what they are about which is why they think "Bon Jovi has always been about fun and partying." They never really paid attention and just kept lookin at Jon who has a tendency to smile at inappropriate times while performing.
"I'd Like to jump, but I'm afraid to hit the ground (Jon flashes his trademark toothy grin, girls go apeshit, fans talkst among themselves how this is such a great fun song)
In all the commercialism of Bon Jovi..there is a real soul there and it requires you pay attention. It's easy to think of Always as a good song for your wedding when all you think of is the chorus....but you are taking the chorus way out of context to make it fit as a wedding song. This is a song you play in your car after leaving your lawyers office after signing the final divorce papers.
