That mandolin or whatever it is in the intro is mighty annoying... is that in there just so it sounds more country? Cause it sure doesn't sound good.

The song is nice, doesn't hurt anybody, is somewhat catchy, but at the end of the day, neither something you get stuck in your head or something that oozes attitude. Getting less excited about the new album again...

To me it's an OK song that kind of reminds of Somebody I'll Be Saturday Night.
I can't say it excites me particularly. It's not the Rock song that the people who heard it at the Hard Rock were talking about!

I'm not particularly impressed by this song. It's certainly not terrible but neither is it fantastic. Conceptually it's not bad but lyrically it's kinda what I feared when they said they were going country. They're kinda silly and lacking any substance. That mandolin is totally unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the song and it seems very tacked on just so it can be "country". The "Hey Hey" parts seemed completely tacked on as well in order to give it a WSYCGH style hook.

I don't want to sound too harsh about it cause I certainly don't hate it, it just doesn't really do anything for me. The solo is very nice though. I wouldn't be particularly disappointed now if it didn't make the album. If it does make the album I guess it would be a decent enough album track but it's by no means a stand-out. Still hoping Make A Memory is the first single.

I respect your point of view but I am not sure I am agreing with the VERY COUNTRY comment ... for me it's not really country but maybe i am just stupid and don't understand what is country musically

I am agreing with the person thinking the lyrics are "poor" I feel like this is the problem with jovi for the last 10 years (not all the songs but many are poor lyrically)

ok my last comment is that I LOVE keith urban I have loved that artist for something like 5 years now but I don't think he is very representative of what is country at all - he is totally immerged into the country market but he is for me very rocky

I like this song, even though the chorus kinda remind me of the music Bryan Adams makes today.

Itīs quite catchy and has a nice feeling over it. I prefer this song so much to crap like I Love This Town. I hope itīs on the album.

I like it. It's not my top favorite, but I like it.

My personal thought, but I don't think it would sound very good if it was heavier. Just my thought thou.

My initial thought is that it's okay. I was expecting a heavier song with less of a country sound. I wish it were heavier and I'd probably like it a lot more because I think the lyrics are pretty good.
