Not sure if posted already, but here's a brief description of some of the songs:

Quote:
To listen to Forever, though, is to hear an artist confidently in the zone. He throws himself headlong into the daring opus “Seeds,” a mesmerizing composition about perseverance brought to life with rich strings and sharp metaphor. In “I Wrote You a Song” — one of those lyrical lightning bolts that came to Jon while he slept — he delivers one of the album’s vocal highlights over Bryan’s stark piano. And with “Walls of Jericho,” he adds the most epic arena anthem to the Bon Jovi catalog since “Bad Medicine.”

A pair of tracks on the album directly chronicle the band’s history, which is also honestly retold in the four-part Hulu documentary Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story. “We Made It Look Easy” charts Bon Jovi’s hard-won evolution from New Jersey bar band to stadium headliners, while “Living Proof” evokes the group’s storied past through a signature sound: a TalkBox guitar intro reminiscent of “Livin’ on a Prayer.”

The chorus of “Living Proof” drives home one of Forever’s overarching themes: “This family tree got nothing left to prove now,” Jon sings. “Me and you/We’re the living proof.”

When Jon, a 2009 inductee into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, wrote those lines, he says they encapsulated everything he was feeling more than 40 years into a rock legacy: “I thought, ‘that pretty much sums it up for me.’”

But having nothing left to prove doesn’t mean not challenging oneself. Forever contains some of the most soul-baring songs Jon’s ever written. “Kiss the Bride” he wrote especially for his daughter and is destined to be heard at every wedding from here to eternity. “My First Guitar” is the tale of the cheap but cherished Univox he played as a teenager, sold to a neighbor, and was recently reunited with. And “Hollow Man,” which caps the album, is about submitting himself freely and openly to the muse.

Thank you. Very good read. Hadn’t seen it before.

Walls of Jericho has been getting a lot of praise. Really looking forward to that one now.

Longer preview is up on itunes New Zealand.

Holy cow, the verses are HAND. "Close your eyes and tell me what you think you see" even with a similar melody.

This is a great song but has Shanks's style all over it song structure wise.

Agree, I don't know if that ruins it, but it's sounds good, catchy.
