Bon Jovi - Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore ft. LeAnn Rimes

"Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore" is a song by Bon Jovi, taken from their tenth studio album, Lost Highway, released in 2007.

The song was released by Mercury Nashville to radio in the United States, and as a CD Maxi in Germany, Switzerland and Austria in November 2007 as the album's third single. It features country pop singer LeAnn Rimes, and also appears as a bonus track on her 12th album, Family.

Song background

It was written by Bon Jovi band members Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora with country singer-songwriter Brett James, and produced by Dann Huff.

The song was the second cross-over song with a female country singer by Bon Jovi, after "Who Says You Can't Go Home" with Jennifer Nettles of the duo Sugarland. Bon Jovi played the whole of the Lost Highway album live and released the concert as a DVD, although "Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore" was performed without Rimes.

Awards and nominations

The song won the CMT Music Award for the Collaborative Video of the Year in 2008.[1] Rimes accepted the award, as Bon Jovi was not at the awards ceremony. Bon Jovi's previous country duet, "Who Says You Can't Go Home", claimed the same award in 2006.

Music Video

The music video for "Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore" features Jon Bon Jovi and LeAnn Rimes walking around the streets of New York City at night. A bed scene was set up in front of the Flatiron Building. The song was also nominated for the Academy of Country Music Award for Vocal Event of the Year.

The lyrics:

It might be hard to be lovers

But it's harder to be friends

Baby pull down the covers

It's time you let me in

Maybe light a couple candles

I'll just go ahead and lock the door

If you'll just talk to me baby

Till we ain't strangers anymore

Lay you head on my pillow

I'll sit beside you on the bed

Don't you think it's time we say

Some things we haven't said?

It ain't too late to get back to that place

Back to the way we thought it was before

Why don't you look at me

Till we ain't strangers anymore?

Sometimes it's hard to love me

Sometimes it's hard to love you too

I know it's hard believing

That love can pull us through

It would be so easy

To live your life with one foot out the door

Just hold me baby

Till we ain't strangers anymore

It's hard to find forgiveness

When we just turn out the lights

It's hard to say you're sorry

When you can't tell wrong from right

It would be so easy

To spend your whole damn life just keeping score

So let's get down to it baby

There ain't no need to lie

Tell me who you think you see

When you look into my eyes

Let's put our two heart back together

And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor

And make love with me baby

Till we ain't strangers anymore

We're not strangers anymore

We're not strangers

We're not strangers anymore

Richie Sambora - Every Road Leads Home To You

Richard Stephen "Richie" Sambora (born July 11, 1959) is an American rock guitarist, producer, musician, singer and songwriter who is the longtime lead guitarist of the rock band Bon Jovi.

He and frontman Jon Bon Jovi form the primary songwriting unit of the band.

He has also released three solo albums: Stranger in This Town in 1991, Undiscovered Soul in 1998, and his third, Aftermath of the Lowdown was released in September 2012.

Public service and recognition

Over the years, Sambora has been an ardent fundraiser for many charities, such as Dream Street, the Steve Young Forever Young Foundation and Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's disease charity.

He has donated money privately to various cancer charities since the death of his father, including both hospitals where his father was treated, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and M D Anderson.

Sambora's fundraising with the charity Stand Up For a Cure allowed for three mobile full service hospital units to be brought to the streets of New York, two of which were named after his parents, respectively.

In May 2004, Sambora was bestowed with an Honorary Doctorate of Letters by Kean University where he attended the awards ceremony and gave a speech of acceptance. He attended Kean University as a freshman, but then dropped out to pursue a career as a professional guitarist and session musician.

He also donated funds to renovate part of his alma mater Woodbridge High School, which opened a new weight room, the Adam Sambora Fitness Center, dedicated to Sambora's father.

On May 7, 2012, Sambora was recognised by the Midnight Mission charity for his work, dedication, and support to their cause, with the Golden Heart Award.

The lyrics:

I got your picture on my phone

Your voice in my head

I'm lying here alone

Restless in a faraway bed

The stars will falling down

And I'm half a world away

I'm just trying to close the distance

To feel each breath that you take

When the bridge is burning

And I'm losing my faith

And I'm trying to find my way towards the truth

Like a wild arrow flying

And I'm blindly running

From everything I thought I knew

And every road leads home to you,

Home to you

So you got me to believe

Made me turn on a dime

The writing on the wall

Right in front of me

Every song, every rhyme

But I don't need a thousand words

I need you safe in my arms

I'll be standing strong

I'll keep holding on

When life tries tearing us apart

When the bridge is burning

And I'm losing my faith

And I'm trying to find my way towards the truth

Like a wild arrow flying

And I'm blindly running

From everything I thought I knew

No I ain't regretting

Just how lost I'm getting

Or the red lights I've been blowing through

My foot will find the pedal

As I'm counting the lines

Every road leads home to you,

Every road leads home to you

Home,

The road still leads me home to you

Sometimes I don't see the signs,

The headlights make me blind,

The road still leads me home to you

[Solo]

When the bridge is burning

And I'm losing my faith

And I'm trying to find my way towards the truth

Like the wild arrow flying

And I'm blindly running from

Everything I thought I knew

No I ain't regretting

Just how lost I'm getting

Or the red lights I've been blowing through

My foot will find the pedal

As I'm counting the lines

Every road leads home to you

Every road leads home to you

Home to you

Home to you

Home to you

Every road leads home to you

Home to you

Every road

Leads home to you

Every road leads home to you

Bon Jovi - Bed Of Roses (live in Zurich, 2000)

Bed of Roses is a rock song released by Bon Jovi in late January 1993, from the album Keep the Faith. 
Jon Bon Jovi wrote the song in a hotel room while suffering from a hangover and the lyrics reflects his feelings at the time.
The song contains drawn out guitar riffs and soft piano playing, along with emotive and high vocals by Jon Bon Jovi.

The song's power ballad style made it a worldwide hit, and it demonstrated the band's new, more mature sound after their success as a glam metal band in the '80s.

Released as a successful single in 1993, it reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, #5 on the top 40 mainstream, #13 in the UK Top 40, and #10 in the German Top 100.

A Spanish version, "Cama de Rosas," was also recorded.

"Bed of Roses" became a staple on Bon Jovi setlists for years to come, and was featured on the band's Cross Road greatest hits album, and in acoustic style on This Left Feels Right. A live performance can be viewed on the Crush Tour DVD.

The song was also recorded by the hard rock band Hinder as a bonus track of the Wal-Mart re-release of their debut album, Extreme Behavior. Tose Proeski covered this song during his concerts and on his 2011 album So Ljubav Ot Tose.

The lyrics:

Sitting here wasted and wounded

At this old piano

Trying hard to capture

The moment this morning I don't know

'Cause a bottle of vodka

Is still lodged in my head

And some blonde gave me nightmares

I think that she's still in my bed

As I dream about movies

They won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and

French kiss the morning

While some marching band keeps

Its own beat in my head

While we're talking

About all of the things that I long to believe

About love and the truth and

What you mean to me

And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails

I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away

That each step that I take is on my way home

A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night

Just to see through this payphone

Still I run out of time

Or it's hard to get through

Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you

I'll just close my eyes and whisper,

Baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails

I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry

The barkeeper's wig's crooked

And she's giving me the eye

I might have said yeah

But I laughed so hard I think I died

Now as you close your eyes

Know I'll be thinking about you

While my mistress she calls me

To stand in her spotlight again

Tonite I won't be alone

But you know that don't

Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove

For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails

I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses
