Say It Isn't So
What does everyone think of this song - Just looking through Crush and wondered what everyone here thought of that track when first heard/released.
From what I can remember it was considered to be the 1st single. This song is so far removed from Bon Jovi it is unplayable now IMO. That doesn't mean I hate it but just don't really see it as Bon Jovi. |
Aloha !

I know Devilsson really loves the song but I think he's one of the few. I remember thinking "what's this then?" when I heard the song for the first time. I thought it was a very odd choice for a single and didn't belong on an album anyway. But then again, half of what's on Crush doesn't belong on any album... Salaam Aleikum, Sebastiaan |
Like the beginning of the song.
Like the verses. The chorus and bridge are not splendid making it a song that isn't high on the bon jovi masterpieces list. I don't like it when richie sings backing vocals in the typical 'english' way he does there. Captain Crash had a bit of the same. |

It's not the worst song they've ever done, but I certainly think it's a poor effort and it just lacks energy in my opinion.
|
Don't like it. Way too pop for my taste.
If that's returning to their rock roots I'm wondering what the guys are thinking. I think it'll sink quickly. |
Wasn't that one of the tracks that was going to be on Jon's new solo record? Several of those tracks wound up on Crush when the solo record didn't come out.
|
I like it. I like that it's not a typical Jovi song. I love the lyrics.

And I personally LOVE it. It's just a fun pop song and I dig it. |
I like Say It Isn't So, it's got a great little riff and really works as an experimental pop song ... it sounds like it wouldn't have been too out of place on Destination Anywhere, which I consider to be a compliment. I don't consider it one of the absolute strongest songs on Crush, but it holds a worthy place in the Bon Jovi catalogue IMO

I've been in love with this song ever since the first time I heard it follow IML on Crush. Great riff, great lyrics, love the keyboards, just in general one of my favorite tracks.
|
It sounds quite syrupy, but I like it.
|
I think it's one of the best out of Crush... Love Richie's vocals on that one...
|
Video's great, song's pretty good.
|
Don't like it. And didn't like it then.

Not one of my favourites but wouldn't mind hearing it live again. (although I doubt Jon could do the falsetto part of the song)

Itīs the best song on Crush.
The riff is very good, and very well worked throughout all the song, with differnt parts that make it not repetitive. Thereīs a lot of effort behind this song. There are two extremely different ways of Jonīs singing here, and the one on the chorus had never been used (and probably wonīt ever be used again). This contrast fits perfectly in the song. And the lyrics are very intelligent. There was a time when Jon was in love with cinema... Anyway, it was known he would never win an Oscar acting, but that experience let him know better what is behind the movies. The song is critizicing all of that, what lies behind Hollywood and how it affects people, although many people didnīt realised. Many things to be said about one only song when there are many other songs you cannot say almost anything. |
Ive always liked Say It Isnt So. Its quite different from any other Jovi song. You cant say that about many of their tracks.
|
Don't particularly like the song, but I love the video:p Matt Le Blanc! Wewt!
*takes cold shower* |
It does have one thing going for it however, a keyboard solo. They need to involve David a lot more in my opinion.
|
Didnt like it then, and now it really grows on me so at this point in time I think its great song and play it often.
|
It's one of my least favorite songs on the album, but saying that, crush is my fave post 2000 albums, and the only song I don't listen to on the album is she's a mystery. I don't mind the song, but I would never consider it as a good song... Don't mind it though.
|
is a good song, but i have to admit that, when it came out, i couldnt believe it was a BJ song, either way, after 3 years i end up, likin it
|
I like it, it's a good song that's neither here nor there, it's catchy, the beat's pretty good...I do think Crush is the best 2000s album, I don't have a problem with any of the songs on it really (even She's A Mystery)
