The fact that\u00a0the band came from nowhere and went to the top of the charts\u00a0through persistence and hard work\u00a0 makes the lyrics credible.<\/p>\n<p>You may not know Poison. But I&#8217;m pretty sure you have heard of\u00a0 Bon Jovi. Don&#8217;t dismiss them because rock isn&#8217;t your thing or because their sound is just too &#8220;soft&#8221;\u00a0for you. They have songs in a lot of genres (hard rock, classic rock, pop-rock, country rock, glam rock&#8230;), and they have written songs about almost all aspects of life. Don&#8217;t think about the ballads. Please, we are not going to talk about &#8220;Always&#8221; here. But, if you are thinking of \u00a0the chorus from their hit song &#8220;It&#8217;s my life&#8221;, great! You are exactly where I need you to be. The whole song is about not giving up and standing your ground. In fact, this song is only one example from the band. They are huge on songs that encourage you to work\u00a0on your\u00a0dreams.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Here is a part of \u00a0&#8220;<strong>It&#8217;s my life<\/strong>&#8220;:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It&#8217;s my life\u00a0 &#8211; And it&#8217;s now or never<br \/>\nI ain&#8217;t gonna live forever , I just want to live while I&#8217;m alive<br \/>\n(It&#8217;s my life)<br \/>\nMy heart is like an open highway &#8211; Like Frankie said<br \/>\nI did it my way, I just want to live while I&#8217;m alive ,&#8217;Cause it&#8217;s my life<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Better stand tall when they&#8217;re calling you out<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t bend, don&#8217;t break, baby, don&#8217;t back down<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cOfaYFIHt1g&amp;feature=fvst\u00a0 this is for the song&#8217;s video.<\/p>\n<p>They might have sold over 100,000,000 records (yes, it is the official number) but it&#8217;s not like success fell on their laps. Frontman Jon Bon Jovi worked at odd jobs, he even sold shoes. (I am saying &#8220;even&#8221; &#8211; if you remember the old sitcom Married with Children, the shoe selling thing might put a smile on your face.) He cleaned the floors on a record studio and didn&#8217;t get paid for it. Instead he just recorded his demos. One of the demos got him a record deal and a band. But what made Bon Jovi huge is actually another song that tells you to keep hanging on no matter what: <strong>Living on a Prayer.<\/strong> This is the video of the song: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QUSDS9pkA2Y&amp;feature=fvst<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Oh and the chorus\u00a0goes something like this: <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Whooah, were half way there<br \/>\nLivin on a prayer<br \/>\nTake my hand and well make it &#8211; I swear<br \/>\nLivin on a prayer<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention, they have written <strong>Keep The Faith<\/strong> (it tells you to &#8220;keep the faith: you know youre gonna live thru the rain&#8221; ) and <strong>Have a Nice Day<\/strong> , whose chorus goes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Ohhh, if there&#8217;s one thing I hang onto,<br \/>\nThat gets me through the night.<br \/>\nI ain&#8217;t gonna do what I don&#8217;t want to,<br \/>\nI&#8217;m gonna live my life.<br \/>\nShining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,<br \/>\nStanding on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly.<br \/>\nWhen the world gets in my face,<br \/>\nI say, Have A Nice Day.<br \/>\nHave A Nice Day<\/p>\n<p>link to Keep the Faith: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6U5gJZh5u2Y&amp;feature=fvst<\/p>\n<p>link to Have a Nice Day: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UheKmPY1mNw&amp;feature=fvst<\/p>\n<p>ENJOY!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well,\u00a0my previous post is\u00a0about how songs can actually get you in the mood not to give in your dreams and it gives Poison&#8217;s Cry Tough as an example.\u00a0The song is\u00a0fast, hopeful and\u00a0it \u00a0just tells you not to give up.
