Any Other Day
SharePosted on 17. Apr, 2007 by Gallivanter in Bon Jovi
Probably the best Bon Jovi song I’ve heard on the upcoming album Lost Highway, if it makes the cut. Got this snippet off Youtube, so the quality’s bad, but it gets the job done. Hopefully it’s released as a second single to the album after “Make a Memory“.

Bon Jovi – Any Other Day
The alarm clock rings its 6:45
Must have hit that snooze button least three times
I’m wishing this morning was still last night
On any other day, just might wanna die
Traffic packed up twenty miles to the east
Must have heated the damned red light on the street
The weatherman says it’s gonna rain for a week
Hey, what can you do?
On any other day I’d be blue eyes crying
I can tell the world that at least I’m trying
The cloud is breaking, the sun is shining new for me and you
On any other day I might just go crazy
The grace of knowin’ that you’re gonna save me
Maybe luck and love can pull us through
On any other day
On any other day I might just stay in bed
Sit down in a sea of blankets pull em up over my head
Catch a beer buzz in the morning just to get a little edge
Then maybe just get up in time to do it all again
Hey, I like where this it’s going, yeah, cause I know where it’s been
Alarm clock rings, it’s 6:45
I like waking up with you on my mind
Knowing that your saving me one more time

Man, that song is destined to be the next single. The lyrics and melody are classic BJ. I couldn’t agree more.

Alex It is! As you said, a band with class. Hopefully we get to hear more of Richie Sambora on this album. “Make a Memory” – his backup vocals were awesome.
Alex

yerrr and i saw the live performance from the CMA’s and richie’s backup vocals were as you put it…AWESOME…
and the little electric guitar outburst in the middle of the song….sounded brilliant…he played it with emotion and feelin’ like no guitarist on this earth…shame it was only a few seconds though!! he better break out more on this album like he used to..he didnt break out toooo much on HAND, but when he did it was class!!!

Hey bud,
The new Jove album is shaping up to be much better than their last effort. I felt Richie was not in the album, maybe due to hus recent split with Heather. Anywho, I love the Jove and they are the reason I picked up a guitar. Hope you are well. I can’t believe it is actually sunny here in the UK. Showmon

Alex Yeah, I caught that on YOUTUBE too. I hope Richie gets more airtime on this album. Also noticed that Jon’s vocals is more grounded. I can hardly wait.
Cameron I agree. The new album’s starting to look less pressured than the previous album. Let’s wait and see…

Alex Well, I had all of Bon Jovi’s songs available on my blog, but ran into too many hits causing the site to be suspended, hence I removed them.

Bon Jovi - Lost Highway REVIEW
Jun 11th, 2007
[...] Any Other Day PERFECT. FIRST CLASS. MASTERPIECE. Freakin’ magnificent lyrics and glorious music. It’s their best song in years. Richie’s presence is telling – not one but 2 guitar solos! This song reminds me of Someday I’ll Be Saturday Night in terms of its lyrical substance. MUST be released as the next single at all cost. A hair-raiser, rocking number! 10/10 [...]

This song is also my favorite. I think it works extremely well with the new country vibe. The lyrics are one of a kind, making this song beautifull and harsh at the same time. Richie did a y excellent job during the solo. WOW!
