It's amazing how when this song comes on the radio, some people instantly know it and can sing the lyrics, some can't. But the second the chorus comes on, everyone can belt it out instantly.
This is my wife and I's song. Been together almost 15 years, married 11 of those. Financially struggling and everything that throws at you, we're stronger than ever. Bought a house, got a dog, had a daughter. We may not be rich(we do just fine) but we achieved the American Dream thru hardwork. I love you, Shari.
literally i agree with this so much. i grew up with bon jovi cause of my mum and i know someone that also likes bon jovi and we literally have the same taste in music and everyone else thinks we’re insane.
The thing I like about a lot of 80's songs is that you can feel they put their heart and soul in the song. It wasn't really about fame, it was pure love for what they did and they had talent.
People look at me and think I’m listening to rap or something but in reality I’m listening to 80’s rock. That generation had some hella good stuff. I’m only 15 but thank god for people preserving audio tapes and such for 30+ years
I’m literally having a dance party. In my bedroom. Alone. At 1:00 AM. Everyone else is asleep in my house. And I’m just on a Bon Jovi playlist. This has been, so far, the best night of quarantine. Or morning.....whatever. NEXT SONG!!!
+Joyce Adame Because much of the modern world is subconsciously governed by popular media , and since the 2000s, stupidity is what`s popular. I agree this kind of music needs to be brought back.
this is literally our class anthem. through the first half of the day or in the middle of any kind of subject were learning, one of us will randomly say 'were halfway there' and the rest of us will scream out of nowhere 'WHOOOO LIVIN ON A PRAYER' this is the best homeschool community ive ever been a part of. love yall
My aunt lives across the country and the whole week of her wedding we listened to this song while driving with the windows down and screaming at the top of our lungs. This is now my favorite song.
I remember a little over a decade ago I was screaming the chorus like who doesn’t? Lol and my dad saw me and he had the biggest smile I’ve ever seen and he told me it’s like seeing himself back in the 80’s aha miss you pops
My 8-year-old self thought the chorus was 'Oooooohhhh, we're half-weigh deer, oooooohhhhhhhhh, lemon on a pear. Take my ham, we'll bake it, I swear. Ooohhhhh, lemon on a pear'
I'd be honored if some fans of 80s power ballads would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal covers of EYE OF THE TIGER by Survivor, WHO'S CRYING NOW by Journey, and AGAINST ALL ODDS by Phil Collins on my YT channel in tribute to the legends. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and keep on rocking.
Simple answer: The music moguls don't want this kind of talent. They want to control the crowd by putting out indoctrinating garbage to make the young into a bunch of trendy teenage wastelanders. Do you ever really pay attention to the words of the modern "music"?
I think the old music is better, prob just bc it seems like the radios at school keep playing the same 4 or 5 songs on repeat, with a few other mainstream songs, and its so annoying.
This song never gets old. I can still remember during my childhood days when my dad came home from work and play all bon jovis songs, before Its kinda irritated for me . but when my dad died and as when I grew up everytime I heard their songs it makes me cry and hoping time machine will exist.
ok, so I've listened to It's My Life, You Give Love A Bad Name, Wanted Dead Or Alive, Livin' On A Prayer, and probably some other songs I didn't know were by Bon Jovi. Love them all! Sad part is, can't get my brother to feel the same way, at all...
ikr? he just hates the awesome classics. he only likes the song radioactive bu imagine dragons and hey there Delilah by plain white Ts. sure, they're good songs, but that's all he really likes! glad i'm not the only one who loves this song.
I am very picky with music, this is really all I listen to, older rock songs. I rarely click on a song I've never heard of, if someone wants me to hear a different song they have to force me to listen to it.
Plz tell me I'm not the only teen listening to this because when we were younger our parents listened to it and we kinda hated it but now we love knowing all the lyrics
Towards the end of school my they played this song and everyone was walking to their next classes and AS SOON as this came on everyone started singing.
I met Bon Jovi while working a detail for the NYPD. I remember when the concert had ended we all walked back to the Precinct from Central Park singing this on the street with other fans. It was a fun day.
i have a speaker system throughout my old house, and we used to connect it to the radio, and we blasted songs like this all the time, they used to be so boring to me, but they are so nostalgic now
I played this song a few days ago and looked at my 6, 4, and 3 year old cousins and said “I’m introducing you to the good stuff, my mom introduced me to the good stuff and now someone has to introduce you to the good stuff.” They looked at me like I was weird.
Aldo Maverick for me I didn't live in the 80's but my parents always played music like this and my dad constantly played this song in his car from his phone. And I'm 20
This man is a legend! I hate what people say about his voice today. It doesn't matter! All that matters is what we can treasure. Let us not judge the present...amazing man! NJ 💯

***** I actually heard "Women's underwear" at all. I guess my ears made for misinterpreting song lyrics whether they are in English or not work differently from yours.
My favorite misheard lyric ever is from the end trio in Phantom of the Opera. Actual lyric: "Please, Raoul, it's useless!" Misheard lyric: "It's Raoul. He's useless."
"Living on the bread"? That doesen´t even sound like it! How the f*** can you seriouslyy hear that line? Moreover it contradicts the WHOLE MEANING and context of the rest of the song! Haha!
Anonymoussomeonenr1 The lyrics in the chorus can be misheard in any way so that anybody would assume whatever words he/she is hearing. And how did I seriously hear "Living on the bread" in there? I have really good ears made for misinterpreting song lyrics regardless of what language it's in. Oh, and I love hilarious lyrical wordplay that I enjoy misinterpreting song lyrics.
Who else is listening to this during the CoronaVirus pandemic? Hope you're all staying safe out there! Edit: HOLY CHEESE STICKS!!! 1000 LIKES! THANKS! XD
Well, you don't HAVE to listen to the beibster. You can just listen to old songs... I mean I understand that music nowadays isn't the same but hey, times change. p:
I found it interesting, too. Sambora and Joe Lynn Turner were at a party in 1985. Sambora had listened to Turner's new solo album and told him he'd use that bass line in a future song. Turner didn't object, and the rest is history.
This song is full of meaning !.When he says that Tommy fell on his own, he meant that jobs are relative and unstable, when he says that Gina works for her man, he meant that there are women who feel obliged to support their husbands even though they are not so good like this!.When it says "we'll give it a shot (chance, opportunity), but it can be understood as a shot, as if one of them could freak out and shoot the other with time.When he says that "it makes no difference to do or not" is an irony, meaning that couples say that attempts are enough, but in fact success and failure count for a lot!Besides, it's also ironic that "we have each other that enough," just enough?.Not to mention (the best part): That says that Gina wanted to run away and Tommy said "baby it's okay", notice that Bon shouted at saying that, meaning that he did not whisper or speak gently, but fought with her !.And it says "some day," meaning that couples extend a hypothetical hope for peace under the pretext of "time."And finally, the song says "we've got hold on, we live for the fight when it's all that we've got", meaning that life is this, we have to fight and live, without wanting to drop it, but learn to deal with life.And the title implies that religion does not always have the real effect, it is subtended in the mind and is not present in reality.This is what I understood.
One time in my school we had to guess the artist of certain songs and when this one played I was silent until the refrain, then I started singing, loudly, like screaming it. My school thinks I'm crazy now.
My friend Ansley and I will be at swim practice and we'll stop at the wall between sets and just start randomly singing... WHOAAAAA WERE HALFWAY THERE!!! WHOOOOOAAAA LIVING ON A PRAYER!!! and everyone just looks at us like we're crazy..... because we are.
Honestly, never really acknowledged the song til recently. Singing it in vocal jazz at school and I have to admit it's been stuck in my head for weeks!
It's amazing how when this song comes on the radio, some people instantly know it and can sing the lyrics, some can't. But the second the chorus comes on, everyone can belt it out instantly.
That's true for tons of songs.
@@MirzaAhmed89 Yeah it is, that doesn't make it any less amazing. It's cool to find popular songs that are only known for one small section.

Wo-oo, livin' on a prairie
Livin' on the bread!
ACTUAL LYRICS:
Wo-oo, we're halfway there
Wo-oo, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Wo-oo, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
***** Indeed it is and thanks. :)
***** I actually heard "Women's underwear" at all. I guess my ears made for misinterpreting song lyrics whether they are in English or not work differently from yours.
My favorite misheard lyric ever is from the end trio in Phantom of the Opera.
Actual lyric: "Please, Raoul, it's useless!"
Misheard lyric: "It's Raoul. He's useless."
"Living on the bread"? That doesen´t even sound like it! How the f*** can you seriouslyy hear that line?
Moreover it contradicts the WHOLE MEANING and context of the rest of the song! Haha!
Anonymoussomeonenr1 The lyrics in the chorus can be misheard in any way so that anybody would assume whatever words he/she is hearing. And how did I seriously hear "Living on the bread" in there? I have really good ears made for misinterpreting song lyrics regardless of what language it's in. Oh, and I love hilarious lyrical wordplay that I enjoy misinterpreting song lyrics.
Bass in this song is so underappreciated, one of the reason why i love to repeat this song so many times..
Who else is listening to this during the CoronaVirus pandemic? Hope you're all staying safe out there!
Edit: HOLY CHEESE STICKS!!! 1000 LIKES! THANKS! XD
Me 😭
Same to you
I woke up with this song playing in my head this morning. I haven't listened to it in months.
We are currently literally Living on a prayer
Anna Nicole yer sir
That moment when you eliminated 2 of the multiple choices in a single question.
I don’t care what anyone says, my kids are listening to these types of songs growing up, not the new shit that we get today.
Make them listen to Frank Sinatra. Like the song that’s life or fly me to the moon.
👍🏻👍🏻
👍🏼👍🏼 your gonna make the world a bit better by doing that rock on!!!!!!
Your kids are gonna hate you
@@yourenotfunny2905 not as much as they’re gonna hate you 🥰
This song has been stuck in my head ALL DAY long
Sometimes i wish i livid in the 80s, Music then was so awsome, instead i got Justin beiber... someone invent the time machine quick
Well, you don't HAVE to listen to the beibster. You can just listen to old songs... I mean I understand that music nowadays isn't the same but hey, times change. p:
you're missingout if you think only justin bieber and miley cyrus is all thats out there
not saying that there all shit, just saying it would have me awsome if i was alive back i the 80s
TickleTh1sElmo You may not agree, But its only his opinion. everyone thinks differently. I prefer the music nowadays too though.
Well there's always the T.A.R.D.I.S.
XD
Oh, we're halfway there, whoa, oh
I'm hearing impaired
Take my ear, I'll listen, I swear
Whoa oh
I'm hearing impaired
Hahaha

Yoongi Slay Mah Life Min I’m only. Seeing this now and it is February 2018 😂
That's one catchy bass line.
Hell yea
young wild & free
Inspired by a 1985 song called "Get Tough" by Joe Lynn Turner.
Capri Oh good to know!
I found it interesting, too. Sambora and Joe Lynn Turner were at a party in 1985. Sambora had listened to Turner's new solo album and told him he'd use that bass line in a future song. Turner didn't object, and the rest is history.
This song is full of meaning !.When he says that Tommy fell on his own, he meant that jobs are relative and unstable, when he says that Gina works for her man, he meant that there are women who feel obliged to support their husbands even though they are not so good like this!.When it says "we'll give it a shot (chance, opportunity), but it can be understood as a shot, as if one of them could freak out and shoot the other with time.When he says that "it makes no difference to do or not" is an irony, meaning that couples say that attempts are enough, but in fact success and failure count for a lot!Besides, it's also ironic that "we have each other that enough," just enough?.Not to mention (the best part): That says that Gina wanted to run away and Tommy said "baby it's okay", notice that Bon shouted at saying that, meaning that he did not whisper or speak gently, but fought with her !.And it says "some day," meaning that couples extend a hypothetical hope for peace under the pretext of "time."And finally, the song says "we've got hold on, we live for the fight when it's all that we've got", meaning that life is this, we have to fight and live, without wanting to drop it, but learn to deal with life.And the title implies that religion does not always have the real effect, it is subtended in the mind and is not present in reality.This is what I understood.
@Thomas Young GDP , thank you.
@devillgirl666 666 rules , go ahead girl Make an effort! It pays to read this and more!
@devillgirl666 666 rules , thanks!.

Me motivating myself to finish the semester:

The lyrics that played when I read this "we've got to hold on to what we've got it doesn't make a difference if we make it or not"

One time in my school we had to guess the artist of certain songs and when this one played I was silent until the refrain, then I started singing, loudly, like screaming it. My school thinks I'm crazy now.
anyone who can sit through this song WITHOUT singing it is crazy in my book. You my friend, are normal as far as I'm concerned.
Nah, you just know good music is all. Crazy smart.
i feel you coryn
Same happened to me with 'I want it all' from Queen, the awkwardness is just to much
Jadden Sinn I agree you should have been given a medal
I heard this on radio and searched "woo oh living on bread" I still found it!

Honestly, never really acknowledged the song til recently. Singing it in vocal jazz at school and I have to admit it's been stuck in my head for weeks!
