Have a nice day - old version
 
I think the version of Have a nice day from the American Music Awards sounds a hell of a lot better than the new version. After seeing that video again I think the old version of the song would have been a much bigger hit than the retooled version. Huge mistake! Anyone agree?

I disagree. The song wasn't all that different for it to be a much bigger hit. I don't think it was a huge mistake at all. It'd of had the same success.

Actually I think the old version was better too. I loved the old chorus but hated the solo from the old version. I really love how they had a part where they were singing the chorus all slowed down. It's really cool!

I think the chorus in the new version flows a lot better. The double "ohs" from the original version seemed too much like living on a prayer to me.

haveaniceday 10-15-2005 07:22 AM

Does anyone have the old version in full?

rainsong 10-15-2005 09:56 AM

Did we ever hear the complete version of the original?? does it exsist outside of the bands archives??

Stut 10-15-2005 10:18 AM

I prefer the new version. Although it was interesting to hear the 1st version w/ different lyrics and I especially liked the acoustic part after the solo.

Please, can I hear it?

Keeper 10-15-2005 01:51 PM

Oh my! I didn't remember the chorus lyrics were completely different! Don't know which I like better though :S

Alphavictim 10-15-2005 06:17 PM

Can anybody PM me a link of where to get the old version in full? It'd be very appreciated.

Wait wait. You haven't actually heard it in full? How can you think the new version is such a "Big mistake" when you haven't even heard the old?

Captain Walrus 10-15-2005 08:31 PM

Hmmmm, I seem never to have heard the old version in full either ...

Dave 1986 10-15-2005 08:48 PM

Same here please! I would love to hear the original version.

jbjwolves 10-15-2005 10:16 PM

Yeah, right...

These are the lyrics to the first version:

Why you wanna tell me how to life my life?
And who are you to tell me if it's black or white?
Momma can you help me try to understand,
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man?
My daddy live to die that's just the price that he paid
Sacrificed his life just slaving away.

Oh if there's one thing I could give you
To get you through the night
Oh a little something to hang onto
To make you feel alive
Brighter than a diamond, sharper than a knife
Standing on the ledge, it might save your live
If there's one thing I could say

Have a nice day
Have a nice day

Living in a broken home of hopes and dreams,
Take a look around you nothing's what it seems.
Who are you to tell me where a flower grows?
Who are you to tell me that a child don't know?
Innocence has died out on a dead end street
Looking for forgiveness, down on his knees.

BRIDGE

Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day

SOLO

Oh if there's one thing I could give you
To get you through the night
Oh a little something to hang onto
To make you feel alive

BRIDGE

CHORUS

I much prefer the final version - it has a rawer rock edge than the original, and the solo is much better. I wish they'd kept in the quiet part though, it sounds great, and makes the song a bit longer.

So, you actually have this version?

Supersonic 10-15-2005 11:58 PM

Aloha !

I've got it too. I agree that it's better than the version on Have A Nice Day.

Salaam Aleikum,

I know that kev :)! i didn't ask for a link I was asking seb how to find the song...
perhaps, you my friend, knows where little Erik can find it?

Krycek 10-16-2005 12:47 AM

Wow, that second verse is pure crap. "Who are you to tell me where a flower grows?" What the hell is that? The quiet part sounds interesting though, if anybody is in the mood for sharing I'd appreciate it greatly!

Good on Jon for re-writing this one.

I'm pretty sure it is not flower. It could be fallow. I am not sure though.

I hope it wasn't flower but surely it can't be fallow, that just makes absolutely no sense.



Phil

saturdaynightagain 10-16-2005 01:20 AM

It sounds like fallow to me, but this is a very low quality version of the song. It makes more sense to me than flower. Satnight

TBoy 10-16-2005 01:45 AM

Please, please PM me link for that song... Its not cool to talka aobut something that you didnt even hear... :-(

Arthuro_Adam 10-16-2005 01:48 AM

Where did they play the full old version? At the AMA they played only a snippet.

livinginsin 10-16-2005 01:52 AM

I'm just going by what I hear, but I'm pretty much 100% it's 'flower'. That's what it sounds like, and it makes perfect sense.

Rubbish line though!

jbjwolves 10-16-2005 02:44 PM

come on please pm me, whenever i find anything of jovi i always pm people if they want it, cause i know how it feels when everyone talks about new stuff and you havent heard it so please i would love to hear it and give my view, so be fair

Keeper 10-16-2005 02:48 PM

Oh, please people, stop the begging!! :rolleyes:

It sounds like a flower but it doesn´t make any sense to me. And the next line doesn´t make any sense either so it might as well be flower. Fallow, foul, who knows. They probably realized that the lyrics sucked, hence the new version.

Captain Walrus 10-16-2005 04:16 PM

I have it now ... so I'm not saying PM me if you want it ... I send that thought telepathically

BOuNce_JOVI 10-16-2005 04:42 PM

would someone p.m. me "telepathically" please?!;Robert

Dave 1986 10-16-2005 05:00 PM

Same here please, that would be much apreciated.

Captain Walrus 10-16-2005 05:06 PM

*Sigh*, read between the lines:

So yeah, I quite like the old version, the acoustic part is good
(PM me your email if you want me to send it to you)
but some of the lyrics aren't really that great, esp. the second verse

Thomas Anderson 10-16-2005 05:13 PM

It does sound quite rough, and overall I think that the lyrics were improved by the final version, but I like the acoustic part after the solo, I think it sounds good and would have been nice to keep in.

Javier 10-16-2005 06:26 PM

I think it sounds more overproduced than the final version.
The way the backing vocals and the lead vocals are mixed together makes it sound like a technique that should be used on Britney's records or Hillary Duff's. The accoustic part is good but it doesn't flow right with the song, it just sounds like they're trying to recreate the Undivided ending part. The solo is wayy better now and I miss the last part to much "When the world keeps trying to drag me down..."
oohh and the lyrics are much better now, both on the second verse and on the chorus.

No you wait....I've heard the old version in full which is why I can say what I said. However, I don't have the old version on my computer and I wanted to hear it again. Is that ok with you oh master of bon jovi cyberspace?

Alphavictim 10-16-2005 06:48 PM

The guitar sound, especially in the intro, has a great feeling to it. PROBABLY due to the quality, but still, it has a little buzz which sounds nice. The vocals also sound rawer, and the break before the second chorus works better. Also, I think the original chorus words work better with the melody (apart from the double oooh).
However, the solo is way too deep in the mix, and has the Everyday-ish "I'll just do lotsa bends, that'll sound rad!" to it. The break works for me, especially with the riff coming up again after it. Yet, the riff seems to be slightly different, a little more edgy, but I can't say I prefer one over the other. Still, repeating the "oooooh" twice in the chorus doesn't work as good as the "oooh" - "Iiiii" in the final version. Well, and the lyrics aren't that bad IMO - not when you think of how "great" the final version is as well. At least there's no "I'm gonna live my life" in them.

It's not about repeating I'm gonna live my life or not, it's about having the lyrics make sense, and the chorus from the first version dont make any damn sense at all. neither does the second verse, when you start speaking about flowers growing and the very next line talks about what a child don't know, it's sounds a bit to rushed and forced rhyming. I think the lyrics from the first versiuon of the song were winged on the spot, thank god they changed them.
