i feel the same, this song is so great and reminds me so much of me... and the way i feel, especially with the break up i'm going through right now.. :-(
Such a beautiful song :) I used to wonder about the story behind it until someone showed me this quote:
(Jon Bon Jovi about Hearts Breaking Even) " I wrote it together with Desmond Child, when Richie was out of town. Great guy, our Rich. Comes up to me and just tells me: 'I don't have time right now, I have to catch my plane. I have a date with Heather Locklear". So I answered something like 'Have Fun'. And the moment he's back there's another song finished: 'Hearts Breaking Even'."
Great stuff! It's best kept secret albums like this one that remind you how good these guys actually are... There formula worked in the 80s, they weathered the 'Grunge' years of the 90s and still continue to kick out the quality. I highly recommend Jon's solo album 'Destination Anywhere'. Another diamond in the rough!!!
@kejt93bub the thing that pisses me off the most is that they can still do these days type albums if they wanted i mean he still nails something to believe in and hey god and can still do blaze of glory and blood on blood but chooses not to but knowing he still can we can still keep hope he will do another these days keep the faith type albums
@tkerstin the 90s was there best era without a doubt the most annoying thing is there still capable of doing another 100 these day type albums he stil nails all the songs live from this album but chooses to do crap like crush and the circle instead and everything in between them 2 albums eg bounce have a nice day etc
These Days was the first Bon Jovi album that I've listened to. I was 9 years old when this record was released and I still have my cassette copy of this...Now I'm 25 lol :)
@OrangeItaly99 you're absolutely right, yeah. i can't understand why they don't play classic rock anymore ... i hate bj's new music, it sucks. these days was their last really good album
think of it as two people who really love each, but didn't try to screw each other in a diiorce...very rare,,,been there. it can be done. both of you are equally hurting because it's over
i love Bon Jovi .! i hate that some people just settle for hip-hop ; Rock has a lot more to offer than Hip-hop . And yeah sometimes ; you can't understand what there sayinq ; its called Screamo !!! Duh !
i totally agree. this is one of the best if not the best Bon Jovi album. Definetly overlooked and underated. all of the songs are powerful and the lyrics are amazing. I went through probably the hardest time in my life during '95-'96 and this cd played a huge part in helping me get through it. The lyrics of this song could have been written for me...AMAZING album.
You too. Jesus, I have the same story as you. Critics liked this album, and it actually sold more than 20 million gradually because the tour was so successful. They did sound the best live back then. Jon would still hit the a's and sometimes a little higher. Actually, this is the last album he went very high.
@donnaba this would be the best bon jovi album, huh? lyrically keep the faith was a little stronger (dry county has some brilliant lines) then anything else they'd done, but These Days has everything. It's Bon jovi's Exile on Main street. All I Want is Everything kicks ass!
@donnaba This album is along with Keep the Faith one of Bon Jovi's finest releases. Keep the Faith will always be 1# for its song compositions, vocals and guitars etc. but this album has really grown on me, and is an amazing showcase of this band's talent!
@GoodGuitarSolos no the blaze of glory album is if he can add blaze of glory on the greatest hits album and sing sante fe then the album can count as a band work even thouigh its not so no the blaze of glory album then keep the faith then these days new jersey 7800 farenheit then slippery when wet
exactly, the chorus has more or less the same chords than Crying of aerosmith. i guess all the album is influenced by get a grip as even these ain't a love song got the same trick :) but i love them all anyway
go on get out...go on walk out the door.. say you dont care for me anymore..thats alright just two hearts breaking even tonight...you dont love me..not like you used to do..tell me how(?) be better than me &you
Una d sus mejores canciones. No se cmo hay gente q puede decir q este grupo no es bueno. Q escuchen el These Days. Que disco, q produccion mas perfecta, su punto algido... Buenas melodias, letras inspiradasm, llenas d dolor, la voz d jon mas desgarradora q nunca, las guitarras mas blueseras y punzantes q nunca... Puff. Y para muestra esta cancion, lena d sentimiento, d blues, d dolor, d rock... Q grandes.
One of the best songs ever written! I`m wasting too much time on youtube listening to this song! ;) I should clean my room.. yes, I`m gonna clean my room now...
this reminds me of my very first broken heart. i fell so deeply in love and i had my heart shattered by her. *sigh* but it was a first for me and all. oh well.
ok, who are the 9 assholes?? anyway... great song
