I'm aware... but to record a studio version and put it on an official release is a little bit of a stretch... Bon Jovi are known to NEVER include covers on official releases and to have two is just ridiculous...

That's like someone making a fake Bon Jovi album track list and including Pretty Women!

But they're not Bon Jovi, it's a completely different thing. Those rules don't apply to this world.

But he is and it does...

For two song writers, who are constantly posting about their writing, having to rely on 2 studio covers and 10 original tracks to complete an album is not what Bon Jovi or Richie are about or were ever about... Live songs, bonus tracks, Bsides, YES!!! But for an original album to contain any covers for that matter is highly unlikely. It's cheaper to write your own anyway... Jon and Richie are known for being song writers and with 3 solo albums under his belt along with a bunch of bonus tunes, covers and official releases don't go together for any of these band members... At the end of the day, anything is possible... If we are looking at the stats, a 35 year old band that never had a cover on any official album, band or solo is not likely going to start now... The Boys Are Back In Town is the only think that came close but I consider Sons Of Beaches a compilation album... Come on man!!!

Refresh my memory but wasn't I Got You Babe done for a compilation?

They both, I am fairly certain on interviews or social media said I got You Babe would be included, He said that Storybook Love would be on the album two years ago in an interview. They constantly remind the world that she was part of MJ band, even though the shows didn't happen - playing Black and White live is to keep that PR stream. I don't expect them to record it as that would require permission from the estate,probably wouldn't happen. He has recorded a cover in the past - the Les Paul compilation album he did a Wings cover. Always wondered why he didn't use some of his material?

They both have said 60 songs wrote, over 20 recorded and still showing recording pics. Turned his house into a studio now.They have literally posted pictures from studios all over the place (London, Hi, Malibu, Capital and over a month in Canada with Bob Rock). Guess you can tell the IRS that vacation was "work". Producer changes. That Roman, looks like a young Russian JBJ said he was going to be their opener on their "world tour" 2 years ago too. Read that Prince had over 1000 songs recorded in his vault when he died - but he didn't talk about it, as if it was ever to be released. Maybe they are just doing vault material! (roll eyes) He's funding - just needs to decide how he wants to spend. There is to date no label to push for a date. IMO they are just playing. Remember, they were producing Brooklyn Allman's album too? He said he lost millions in fashion and while he has it -no one wants to take that big of a loss.

If you look, kind of odd, several recording artists last releases numbered between 5 and 7% of their total twitter following.(Bieber,Perry) Including THINFS. This has been a lot invested already, the promotion/tour will be costly. He paid for all the headlining shows so far (except Brazil). He paid her to tour and leave Coop. Even when they opened for Bad Co. she posted private planes and Bad Co. was sharing pics on their tour bus. He still travels as if it's BJ and arenas. That is a lot of overhead.

What have we heard so far: A sappy love song - traditionally not popular.Look at Allman and Woman's failure, couple's rarely succeed. Who wants a Blake/Gwenn album? Next song with a familiar Aerosmith riff and an acoustic that if there had been no intro I would have though they just add/stretched the Prayer acoustic. Once it's out - numbers won't lie. Bragging (of course I expect exaggeration somehow) is over. Casuals won't fact check however. Need to come here for that. It's a put up or shut up time. Maybe I'm wrong - but money matters, no matter how much he has.


Chinese Democracy failed - Sabbaths' first studio album (recorded in a day) and Paranoid not much longer, did well. Delay does not guarantee success.

Sorry. Ori's accent threw me in a couple places, and there are still a few words I'm not totally sure of. Even after listening several times, I don't get the comparisons ppl are making with acoustic Prayer. IMO, the only thing the two songs have in common is that they're both acoustic.

But anyway, here's what the lyrics sound like to me. Feel free to edit.


Walk with Me

Tonight, someone’s gonna hurt someone.
Forgive, forget? That ain’t no fun.
Another heart falls off the tree,
Freedom’s just ‘bout breaking free.
A gypsy told me what you hold for cards
Is a long parade of us broken hearts

But if you’ll walk with me,
Baby, I will stand by you
If you’ll walk with me,
Take my hand, I’ll stand by you.
Hand in hand, I’ll stand by you.

We all walk down these streets of blame
‘Cause we were more regrets than rain.
Songs that just don’t sing (seem?) the same;
Then our dream just slipped away.
A gypsy told me what you held for cards
Is a long parade of us broken hearts.

If you’ll walk with me,
Baby, I’ll stand by you.
If you’ll walk with me,
Take my hand, I’ll stand by you.
Hand in hand, I’ll stand by you.

If you’ll walk with me,
I’ll walk with you
If you’ll run with me again
I’ll stand by you.

It’s hard to ____ all that we go through.
It all relies on the choices that we choose.

If you’ll walk with me,
Baby, I’ll stand by you (I’ll stand by you)
If you’ll walk with me (walk with me, baby)
I’ll stand by you. (stand by you, yeah)
Baby, I’ll stand by you.

If you’re gonna walk with me, baby, well then I’ll stand by you.
Well then I’ll stand by you, baby, I’ll stand by you.
And then, I’ll stand by you

You're welcome. You could be right about "like". Another friend said she thought it was "Freedom's just NOW breaking free." I still hear "about". Seems like there's a /t/ at the end. I was working from the C- snaps recording, not the one posted here. Maybe that accounts for the difference.

Any idea about the missing word(s) in the bridge? That's gonna bug me...

Have you started working on the second new one they played yet?

[jovifan93]

Hmm, possibly "It's hard to get (?) back all that we go through"? Though that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and her accent really is annoying at times...

Yeah, my first thought was "bring back" and then I thought I heard "be, babe," but neither of those makes much sense with the rest of it, either.

Based on the following line, "it all relies on the choices we choose" it seems like it would be a word or phrase that means either to change or to prepare for/predict "all that we go through", but I can't think of a synonym that has the same phonetics that I'm hearing - something with a long "e" and a long "a".

I think I shall dig out a thesaurus.

What the hell, it's summer break and I just got back from vacation, so I've got nothing better to do. LOL
