If That's What It Takes
 
"When ya feel like jumpin', just when your hear starts pumpin' when you're standin' on that ledge, starin' over the edge, I'll be there to talk ya down, I'll be there before you hit the groouuuuuuuuuuuuuuund"
Beautiful song, more than a ballad to me. I think it's the brightest song off of These Days, definitely one that sets itself apart from the rest of the album.
Neurotica is actually a Crush demo, in my opinion, I think it should have made the album here in the states. We ended off with One Wild Night, and after hearing Neurotica, I can't help feeling that we Americans were somewhat cheated out of a great song.

But...I could be wrong.

Cracking song, which stretches away from the rather blue feeling you get when listening to these days. I wouldn't call it a ballad though.

If that's what it takes, that's what i'd do. tonight's the night, i'm gonna prove it to you. if i have to break down, baby, just to break through, if that's what it takes that's what i'll do.

yep, that's a ballad.

RichieW2001 07-14-2003 10:58 PM

It's definately not a ballad because it flows too quickly. I thought a ballad was supposed to be rather slow, like Bed Of Roses, Always, This Ain't A Love Song or I Want You.

Jim Bon Jovi 07-15-2003 04:32 PM

if thats wot it takes isn't really a ballad.

there's much more that goes into a ballad than just the lyrics. i cud make a dance track up at 220bpm with the lyrics from if thats wot it takes and it won't be a ballad.

top rock song tho but when u look at this ain't a love song and lie to me, those are ballads, u can't really have if thats wot it takes in the same vein as them.
