American rockers Bon Jovi have just dropped their latest single 'Legendary', their first since their last offering 'Christmas Isn’t Christmas' in November 2023.
The song marks a complete departure from the original hard-rock glam sound and sounds similar to their 2007 offering Lost Highway, with a lot more of the country flavour. The absence of both Richie Sambora and a classic-twangy guitar solo is felt throughout the song, along with the band's hard rock elements.
The song is like a medium-speed rock tune that talks about everyday life and celebrates the successes of working hard. Bon Jovi mentions famous songs — Sweet Caroline to Brown Eyed Girl — enjoying Friday nights, and feeling comfortable where you belong, which all contribute to the song being called 'Legendary'
FOREVER out June 7, available now for pre-order at link in bio.
To celebrate, our new song LEGENDARY is out now. #BonJoviForever ❤️🗡️ pic.twitter.com/VI5ViuMvGc— Bon Jovi (@BonJovi) March 14, 2024Directed by Dano Cerny, known for collaboration with LSD, The Chainsmokers, the music video starts with a shot of the band inside a recording studio, surrounded by musical instruments and equipment. The camera then zooms out and it transforms into a patch of grass in outer space, where the band proceeds to perform.
The song 'Legendary' is the first one from Bon Jovi's 16th studio album called 'Forever', their first offering in four years. The legendary Grammy Award-winning band and Rock And Roll Hall of Fame inductee, is rocking on through their 40th anniversary celebration. The album will be released on June 7 through EMI and is now available for pre-order.
Here are the lyrics of the song
"Who are you and who am I,
To think that we could ever fly?
It don’t pay to even try
Work, get paid, and just get by
Sons of sons, bricks on bricks
What’s broken you don’t try to fix
Round here there ain’t no “whys” and “ifs”
You don’t pick up what you can’t lift
I raise my hands up to the sky
Don’t need more to tell me I’m alive
Got what I want
Cause I got what I need
Got a fistful of friends
That’ll stand up for me
Right where I am
Is where I wanna be.
Friday night comes
Around like a song
Sweet Caroline and we all sing along,
Got my brown eyed girl
And she believes in me.
Legendary
I know this town
Like the back of my hand
Every crack in the sidewalk
Tells me who I am
Live and you love
Is the law of the land
These are our dreams
That’s where we stand
Raise my hands up to the sky
Don’t need more to tell me I’m alive
Got what I want
Cause I got what I need
Got a fistful of friends
That’ll stand up for me
Right where I am
Is where I wanna be.
Friday night comes
Around like a song
Sweet Caroline and we all sing along,
Got my brown eyed girl
And she believes in me.
Legendary
Who are you and who am I
To think that we could ever fly
Got what I want
Cause I got what I need
Got a fistful of friends
That’ll stand up for me
Right where I am
Is where I wanna be.
Friday night comes
Around like a song
Sweet Caroline and we all sing along,
Got my brown eyed girl
And she believes in me.
Legendary
Legendary"
