This song should’ve made the album instead of becoming an unwanted demo. There’s so much edginess in the tune, I’m surprised that Bon Jovi dropped it off their 1992 Keep The Faith album. Nevertheless, they released it in the 4-CD album a few years ago, aptly titled, “100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can’t Be Wrong”. Rock on!
Bon Jovi – The Radio Saved My Life Tonight
I got something on my mind, I’m just a little bit depressed
I try to blame it on the rain but it was in my heart, I guess
I’m feeling like a stranger when I drove through my hometown
Past the sign that reads ‘The Boyhood Home of a Place That’s Long Gone Now’
I realized ain’t nothing what it used to be
Until I heard a song that takes me to my memories
Radio saved my life tonight
An old song that that DJ played made me feel alright
I made it home by my dashboard light
The radio saved my life tonight
Just this side of morning, just this side of dawn
I walked so soft into my bedroom, saw my wife sleeping alone
She whispered, “Baby, are you OK? Have you been gone for long?”
I just kicked off my jeans and I held her close, I held her all night long
I tried to sleep but in my mind I heard that song
Like a friend in need the melody keeps me hanging on

Oh man oh man..I love Bon Jovi!!! I dunno why but I seem to prefer their old tunes rather than the newer ones (not that I dun like them, but the “feel” is just different). I dig in the classics like “I’ll Be There For You”, “Bad Medicine”, “Livin’ on A Prayer”..and etc. Keep it going abt Bon Jovi ya!

Bon Jovi is one of my favorite singer (although he not really success as movie actor)…. >>> It’s My life…
offTopic: Boss, how do you install that button to listen the music ‘ah? … hehe

Hey Daniel , been away for a few days just got home made coffee then visited your site to see what’s new. OMG what a wondreful surprise the first thing that pops up the one, the only BON JOVI oh happy day this song is class ,so many memouries thankyou so much for finishing my weekend break with this AMAZING song loooooooooooooove it .I’m sure you know by now these guy’s are my all time favourites lol x
October 22nd, 2007 at 10:43pm
thx for this mate!
never knew such a gud stuff from bonjovi! anymore other than the popular ones?
October 23rd, 2007 at 12:56am
what a song… =P
do u think that this song is rare? i mean,is from ktf,but sounds so modern, like a song from hand.
i dont konw if you know it,but at the moment of record this song, Jon was cooled…
against all odds,he still sings…
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:56am
twosuperheroes Yeah, it’s because of Jon’s voice and the natural process of aging, hence they toned their music down. But still not too bad. Check out their latest album, Lost Highway, very easy on the ears.
Alb It’s 1pixelout’s audio player plugin.
Christine High five!
blues They have loads.
Yes, there will be more coming every now and then. Stay tuned.
tincho sambora I think it could’ve made the Keep the Faith album if it was reproduced with the sounds of KTF, instead of A Little Bit of Soul.

Hey Daniel,I just bought the box set(couldn’t found it here in Greece) and I love it.I was amazed by Dave’s voice in Memphis Lives In Me and of course melted at the sound of Richie’s If I Can’t Have Your Love(he is my favorite i can’t halp it,lol).This band is TOP,whatever they do,whatever they sing it sounds perfect!Have you seen the videos on YT of the guys performing at the Rock?How did u like Richie’s version of These Days??
November 5th, 2007 at 11:58am
zusje Yes, those 2 ballads are AWESOME.
I haven’t checked out Richie’s version of THESE DAYS. I’ll see if I can find it on youtube.
November 18th, 2007 at 4:47pm
yes,that was what i was thinking…
really,i dont know when they recorded this song,but if you dont know anything about bon jovi,maybe you´ll believe that is from HAND… :S
November 21st, 2007 at 12:26am
Just discovered TEMPTATION in the box set how did i miss this it is awesome not like BON JOVI yet it is wow
November 27th, 2007 at 1:04pm
tincho sambora True, it could’ve made it on the HAVE A NICE DAY album.
Christine Yeah, but not really my cup of tea though…
