[Supersonic]

Aloha !

Just kidding, but I'm fed up with that "message". Inspired by my own feelings towards the entire live your life thing, and the review that was posted by ugly queen from mars, I started wondering on how many songs they actually use that line.

From Have A Nice Day only:
1. - Why you wanna tell me how to live my life? (Have A Nice Day)
2. - I'm gonna live, I'm gonna survive (I Wanna Be Loved)
3. - This is your life (Welcome To Wherever You Are)
4. - You watch your whole life pass you by (Complicated)
5. - This is the story of my life (Story Of My Life)
6. - If all we got is us then life's worth living (I Am)

And further on:
7. - I'm gonna live while I'm alive (I'll Sleep When I'm Dead)
8. - Hey man I'm gonna live my life (Someday I'll Be Saturday Night)
9. - I just wanna live while I'm alive (It's My Life
10. - I don't wanna live forever, just want to know that I'm alive (I Don't Want To Live Forever
11. - I'm gonna live my life everyday (Everyday)
12. - Cause I've lived life to the fullest (Blaze Of Glory)
13. - Living life with no regrets (Captain Crash & The Beauty Queen From Mars
14. - Can't figure out whose life I'm living (Love Me Back To Life)
15. - One wild night (life is for the living so) (One Wild Night
16. - You live your life to take that chance (Price Of Love)

See? I might've forgotten a song, but they've really overused it in their songs. It also shows that they're seriously lacking inspiration for new lyrics that actually offer something new. Most of the new stuff boils down to the same old in fact. Which is why it makes it boring and too predictable. So, who still disagrees that it's so great that Bon Jovi should write songs about living your life to the fullest and all that stuff? Exactly how many songs do we need about that subject?

Salaam Aleikum,

heehe
actually have a nice day is a completely "life" song.
"my daddy lived a lie...", "sacrificed his life" and of course the famous "i'm gonna live my life".
also we should count how many times they've used the phrase "stand your ground" and the word pray/prayer. it took them 20 years to quit from using the word baby all the time which is good but i don't see them quiting the life mottos.

I've always been bored by bon jovis lyrics (with some exeptions).

they recycled alot of their lyrics doring the 80' and they are recycling their lyrics nowadays.

Put my name down!! I was just having this discussion with my husband the other night. We all get the idea that the band wants to live their life. Now it is time to move on!!
