Default The Verdict: Woman In Love

Aloha !

What is wrong with this song? Whenever Keep The Faith is mentioned this song always gets a lot of slack. Am I really the only one who thinks it's a good song? It's just proper rock with a bit of a rock & roll edge to it, with maybe a little bit of a Whitesnake edge to it.

The lyrics are obviously not very deep, but then again, that's not what their intention was. Unlike with songs like Complicated, where the lyrics are shit, this one just has straightforward stuff that's still a bit tongue in cheeck at the same time.

Though it might not be the best song on Keep The Faith, it's still not bad, I think. And I think that if a song that rocks as hard as this one would show up on any new Bon Jovi record, people would love it right from the start. So what's wrong with it? Is it the lyrics? Is it the rock & roll feeling to the song? Is it the lack of a guitar solo?

What do you think? Yay or nay?

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

I quite like it too - as you say it's just a bit tongue in cheek, it's silly, it doesn't take itself seriously. It does have a good old rock n' roll feel to it, like I'll Sleep When I'm Dead does too. Maybe not my favourite song, but not one I'd skip over.

That´s the way I see it, too. A decent song anyway. There are weaker songs than WIL on KTF.

I like it, very tongue in cheek like was said above. My only beef with it is the songs that DIDN'T make the record potentially. But as a song, I dig it.

I am not really a fan. It's an okay song but I would mostly skip it TBH.

I've never had anything bad to say about the song. Gets a thumbs up from me. There are definitely better songs on KTF but overall, I enjoy the song.

Never hear a bad word on it from me, as I think it's a great song.

Good song, I love it. It's always been a Karaoke song for me.

"Call it social commentary or just what I see..." and so on and so forth.

Two big thumbs up from me.
