Hari ini anniversary single Rock Ballad Bon Jovi paling fenomenal dan No.1 diantara semua lagunya
Single "Always" ini dirilis pada tanggal 20 September 1994 yg terdapat di album Greatest Hits : Cross Road. Lagu ini diciptakan oleh Jon Bon Jovi ketika mau dijadikan lagu soundtrack untuk film Romeo is Bleeding di thn 1993. Namun karena Jon Bon Jovi ga suka sama filmnya, akhirnya lagu ini ga jadi lagu soundtrack di film tsb. Jon Bon Jovi sempat membuang rekaman lagu ini karena kecewa sama film tsb, tapi temannya menemukan rekaman itu di sampah dan meyakinkan Jon Bon Jovi bahwa lagu ini sangat bagus.
Padahal lagu ini dibuat sbg pelengkap dari album Cross Road yg berisikan lagu2 the best-nya Bon Jovi. Tapi saat lagu ini dirilis, malah lagu "Always" yg menjadi favorit dari para penggemar dan mengalahkan kepopuleran lagu2 the best Bon Jovi lainnya. Lagu ini berada diperingkat 2 di US Billboard Mainstream Top 40, UK Singles, Australia, Perancis, Belanda, Norwegia dan Swedia. Malah menjadi juara di Irlandia, Swiss, Belgia dan Kanada. Single "Always" ini saja bisa terjual sekitar 3 juta keping di seluruh dunia.
Ini merupakan album terakhir bagi Alec John Such yg dikeluarkan oleh Bon Jovi. Video klip lagu ini dibintangi oleh beberapa aktor yaitu Jack Noseworthy, Carla Gugino, Jason Wiles dan Keri Russell. Lirik lagu ini dibuat berdasarkan film Romeo is Bleeding, namun karena Jon Bon Jovi ga mau meneruskan lagi maka sang sutradara film tsb menunjuk Tom Waits sbg penyanyi yg mengisi lagu soundtrack film itu. Di setiap konser Bon Jovi, lagu "Always" lah yg paling banyak diminta para penggemar diantara semua lagu Bon Jovi lainnya.
Lagu ini sangat populer di benua Asia dan diantara semua lagu Bon Jovi, lagu "Always" lah yg paling dikenal mulai dari desa sampe kota, meski ada beberapa lagu Rock Ballads yg bagus spt "Bed of Roses", "I'll Be There For You", "Never Say Goodbye" dll. Banyak sekali musisi2 di seluruh dunia menyanyikan ulang lagu ini spt Judika, Tata Janeeta, Jung Joonyoung dll.
Lirik :
*) intro
This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning, in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you, I give up
Now I'm drowning, in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you, I give up
Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But, baby, that's just me
And I......
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But, baby, that's just me
And I......
(Reff) :
will love you......baby......
Always......
And I'll.... be there....
forever and a day
Always......
will love you......baby......
Always......
And I'll.... be there....
forever and a day
Always......
(Bridge) :
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine
'Til the heavens burst
and the words don't rhyme
And I know when I die,
You'll be on my mind
And I'll love you
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine
'Til the heavens burst
and the words don't rhyme
And I know when I die,
You'll be on my mind
And I'll love you
Always......
Now your pictures that, you left behind
Are just memories, of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
Are just memories, of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers, through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers, try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers, try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man
When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words, you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him, 'cause those words are mine
To say to you, 'til the end of time
When he says the words, you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him, 'cause those words are mine
To say to you, 'til the end of time
Yeah......
kembali ke (Reff)
If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you
*) melodian
Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But, baby, if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams and our old lives
We'll find a place, where the sun still shines
In these loaded dice
But, baby, if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams and our old lives
We'll find a place, where the sun still shines
And I will
