"I ain't gonna cry; I don't wanna scream
But I got so much left unsaid inside of me
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna survive
Don't want to the world to pass me by
I wanna dream, I ain't gonna die
Thinking my life was just a lie
I wanna give, I'm ready to try
Willing to lay it on the line
I wanna be loved"
Just when I thought they couldn't do it anymore...they said just what I was feeling. It's so weird because I feel like this album was made for me, at this point in my life, it just fits perfectly. What I think people don't understand is that they aren't just a band, Bon Jovi is a way of life. They're not for those who are overly cynical, or angry at the world, they're for those who are open minded and excited about life. I think that's what we have lost throughout the ages: positive music. Just listening to these songs on the way to a class, I hold my head a little higher, I walk faster, I feel more confident. These concerts are what I look forward to for years-a chance to just let go and sing your heart out with a close friend: in this case, closer than close. Bon Jovi stands for lifelong friendships, making something out of nothing, and holding on to what you’ve got. They’re successful, they each have strong, loving families, but most of all, they’re happy. And right now, I think that’s all that matters.
