 Bed of Roses
Hello there!

I am gonna share a recent recording of mine in this blog...
Afterall, it's always better than writing a sad blog...isn't it?
So just stay with me...it's a Bon Jovi song...one of my favorites
it's called "Bed of Roses"
I heard this song a few years ago ....Bon Jovi performed it live..
and literally had tears in his eyes....
Initially, i felt it might be sweat...but then....it came from his eyes...
and i am not really sure if eyes sweat too..(hehe)
Anyways..like he says....he wrote this wong way back in 1991..
after a wedding he attended...he was in his hotel room..pretty drunk..
that was the phase..may be he had a break up with...Diane lane?
(i guess?..and must be finding it hard to get over?)
It's amazing how one can write such a beautiful song...
that says it all..the way one feels...and says it in such a beautiful way....
I simply love this track for so many reasons...
I hope ya'll like it too...I am gonna try and put enough soul in it!
5 minutes is all that it'll take...  (6 to be accurate)
so please give it a complete listen! I tried my best with the song....
and i guess i did decent.....so i feel it deserves being heard..
i have been playing this one for a while..so the guitar notes went fine too

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 blond gave me nightmares, 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 it's own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth, what you mean to me and the truth is
Baby you're all that I need

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away the step that I take's on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
To see through this pay phone
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, whisper baby blind love is true

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
Well I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
Ooh yeah

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
Tonight 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 wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses









PS: Thank you

This is one of my favourite songs, and I would have killed you if you'd done a bad job with it ;) You did full justice to the song, I absolutely LOVED it :) You have an amazing voice...it can take you really far if you really go for it. Good luck :)
Btw, have you heard Hinder's cover of the same song? Its brilliant!
Anyway, great job with this! Cheer up, chin up :) There is a world out there waiting for you mister :) Step out...maybe your lows were meant to make you see things differently...
Just go out there and have fun, we get just one shot at life :)
