You Never Knew What These Misunderstood Songs Were Really About
‘Always’ – Bon Jovi
Bon Jovi, a band known for power ballads like “I’ll Be There for You” and “Bed of Roses,” scored one of their biggest hits with 1994’s “Always.” Perhaps due to their reputation as balladeers, many seemed to ignore the darker underpinnings of the song’s lyrics.
Jon Bon Jovi explained of the lyrics, “It’s a sick little twisted lyric. So many people feel it’s so romantic and so wonderful, but truthfully, this guy is practically a stalker. He’s a sick human being.”
