"Reunion" as a possible next single? Any thoughts?
 
We are now in March, and in a couple of months, in May, is when graduations for high school and colleges start. Do you think it would be a good idea to release "Reunion" as a single, in time for this period? Lyrically its a perfect song for graduations, very inspiring and motivating for the young kids that are about to start their lives, what do you guys think?

I would prefer Born Again Tomorrow if they are releasing another song. Or Scars to country radio. I like Reunion but think the appeal would be too limited.

Agreed with Deb. I think it would do really well at school events but it'd be dead in the water after thats done.

Plus I think that BJ doesn't target that audience with their music anymore, so I can't see it working either. It's a different story now than it was back in '87 when Never Say Goodbye became THE prom song.

^This right here...sure it's a nice idea but the kids will never even hear the song since it will never make radio, unless it by chance goes viral somehow, which, let's face it, will never happen. Good idea though.

What does even a single release mean anymore in BJ terms? Except for the first single, no one, not even the band seems to care about the following "singles" in terms of promotion.

There were 2 singles released in every country to this day... First was "This House is Not for Sale" (Billboard Hot AC #10). Second is "Roller Coaster" (Billboard Hot AC #11) - except UK where "Born Again Tomorrow" was released instead.

I'm not sure how it looked in South America, Australia or Japan...

I wonder what will be a single in 2018 when they came to Europe...

Reunion still feels like an unfinished song to me. It desperately needs an interesting solo and the reoccurring guitar hook is actually quite irritating.

With Ed Sheeran taking up 16 of the top 20 over here with his album tracks, the concept of a single pretty much means nothing now.

To think that this song or any song has

a) a chance on the pop charts
b) any influence whatsoever with graduating high school or college students

is completely delirious. I get that you guys like the songs, fine. But I don't know a single person my age or younger who would actually like or appreciate those songs.
