bon jovi'nin albümle aynı ada sahip müthiş parçası, sözleri;
i was walking around, just a face in the crowd
trying to keep myself out of the rain
saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
wondered if i might end up the same
there's a man out on the corner
singing old songs about change
everybody got their cross to bare, these days
she came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
to a motel room on the boulevard
guess she's trying to be james dean
she's seen all the disciples and all the "wanna be's"
no one wants to be themselves these days
still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
these days - the stars seem out of reach
these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
these days - are fast, love don't last in this graceless age
there ain't nobody left but us these days
jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
from a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
his momma said he was crazy - he said momma "i've got to try"
don't you know that all my heroes died
and i guess i'd rather die than fade away
these days - the stars seem out of reach
but these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
these days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age
even innocence has caught the morning train
and there ain't nobody left but us these days
i know rome's still burning
though the times have changed
this world keepd turning round and round and round and round
these days
these days - the stars seem out of reach
but these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
these days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age
even innocence has caught the morning train
and there ain't nobody left but us these days
these days - the stars seem out of reach
these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
these days - are fast, nothing lasts
there ain't no time to waste
there ain't nobody left to take the blame
there ain't nobody left but us these days
bon jovik'lerin çok kral şarkısıdır...
sözlerinin aksine müziği coşturur...düzenlemesi ayrı bi hikaye, yorum ayrı bi tadından yenmiyor, tam bir araba şarkısı...ben sürecem ama, dinledikçe basacam gaza, gaza bastıkça da yollar bağıracak...
one of these days the ground will drop out from beneath your feet
one of these days your heart will stop and play its final beat
one of these days the clocks will stop and time won't mean a thing
one of these days their bombs will drop and silence everything
but it's alright
yeah it's alright
i said it's alright
easy for you to say
your heart has never been broken
your pride has never been stolen
not yet not yet
one of these days
i bet your heart'll be broken
i bet your pride'll be stolen
i bet i bet i bet i bet
one of these days
one of these days
one of these days your eyes will close and pray you'll disappear
one of these days you will forget to hope and learn to fear
but it's alright
yeah it's alright
i said it's alright
easy for you to say
your heart has never been broken
your pride has never been stolen
not yet not yet
one of these days
i bet your heart'll be broken
i bet your pride'll be stolen
i bet i bet i bet i bet
one of these days
one of these days
but it's alright
yeah it's alright
i said it's alright
yes it's alright
don't say it's alright
don't say it's alright
don't say it's alright
one of these days your heart will stop and play its final beat
but it's alright
easy for you to say
your heart has never been broken
your pride has never been stolen
not yet not yet
one of these days
i bet your heart will be broken
i bet your pride will be stolen
i bet i bet i bet i bet
one of these days
one of these days
one of these days
bon jovi'nin en içten albümü. hearts breaking even, damned, albüme adını veren these days gibi hitleri vardır.zaten bon jovi'nin olgunluk dönemi eseridir ve bundan sonra bir daha grup adamakıllı bir şey üretememiştir. ama üreteceği kadar üretmişler zaten, daha fazlasına da gerek yok. böyle albümler kolay ortaya çıkmıyor.
mcid'de yer alan highly suspect şarkısı. snow white ile birlikte albümdeki favori şarkı diyebilirim. çok da anlamlı bir klip ile taçlandırmışlar bu güzel şarkıyı. şu zor günlerde çok iyi geldi.
