Very cool video, well shot and good message.

The song is my fave of the new album so far. The verses are quite weak but the chorus is strong and catchy.

Still can't stand the song, but I appreciated the little easter egg nod to David in the video - in the broadway scene he's stood in front of signs advertising a showing of Diana.

Oh man, totally missed that, that's nice!

The end of the video is the best part where you see Jon come to life. It's like a little old school JBJ....Something you don't see often anymore.

I agree. That's the best part!! :cool:

I think the song and video are great for what they represent. I'm not crazy about the lyrics because, like Unbroken, they seem forced at times. (UN-like Unbroken, however, at least this song is singable.) It reminds me a little of Burning Bridges, which is not a bad thing at all.

I appreciate how Jon is using his talent to give expression to what a lot of people are dealing with right now. IMO, the best use of this song was when he did the video chat with the kids' and sang their lyrics back to them. Both he and that teacher deserve stars in their crown for that alone if they never do anything else! :)

But I think all of that belongs to this time and place. Like superkid said, I'm not sure that including all of these songs on 2020 won't be a mistake in the long run. Others may feel differently; but I'm already sick to death of hearing anything related to COVID-19, BLM, George Floyd, riots, demonstrations, shootings, ripping our school system up by the roots, the economy, both sides of the political fence pointing fingers at the other side, etc, etc, etc... I just can't imagine ever wanting to listen to an album that revisits this cluster**** of a year! Even if the songs were all stellar, I can already see myself skipping nearly half the tracks just because I don't need (and definitely don't want) a reminder. I've never even considered doing that with albums in the past, except for one or two songs.

They will sound exactly the same. It's Bon Jovi, not Dream Theater. Any professional keyboardist should be able to play Bon Jovi's songs with some practice.

Do you remember Florida 1998?

Then there would've sounded exactly the same when Jeff Kazee filled in for David in London, when Tico was replaced by Scanella in 2013 or when Richie left. They never did.
