“Brothers In Arms” is another song about togetherness and being united. It is sung from an immigrant’s point of view. “Blood in the Water” touches the topic of immigration into the US and the troubles immigrants face. The bridge contains names of famous shootings spoken over the chant “If there’s something we can talk about, let’s talk about it / If there’s something we can figure out let’s figure it out,” which is powerful over the instrumental backing. The song describes how the media treats shootings and how quickly they have moved on to the next one. “Lower the Flag” is acoustic, and paired with the lyrics, it is the most moving song on the album. It bears resemblance to “Ohio” by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, which influenced Bon Jovi’s writing of the song. “Lower the Flag” is inspired by different shootings in multiple cities.
It is more of a power ballad than the others, but it also sings of prejudice and how someday it will be over. Much like the first two tracks,“Let It Rain” paints a picture of sad times, but it sings of motivation and things getting better. Lyrics like “A snap of the finger and you’re not a child / But you’re still holding on as you walk down the aisle” show how quickly time went by for the muse of the song. It’s nostalgic of a younger age and either the parents’ love for their children or the child’s longing to be young again. “Story of Love” is a reminiscent acoustic tune about family. In the song’s metaphor, the love-drug is described to heal and help though like any drug, it is addictive and can hurt. In light of COVID-19, the song describes love as a medicine. It’s the closest to a love song on the album. “Beautiful Drug” goes back to the hard rock sound. The pre choruses say “I can’t breathe,” which were Floyd’s last words, and “Am I next?” which is written on an African-American child’s sign at a protest. “American Reckoning” is softer and chilling, and focuses on the killing of George Floyd. The deluxe album includes another version of the song with lead singer of country music band Sugarland, Jennifer Nettles, as a bonus track. Fan’s versions can be found on Instagram in the hashtag Bon Jovi created, “#dowhatyoucan.” The version released on “2020 “ is his own lyrics. They could sing along with him and fill in the blank space he made or figure out the chords and play themselves. “Do What You Can” originated on Bon Jovi’s Instagram, where he invited his fans to make their own lyrics based on their own experiences. When they escape, their supervisor chases the couple and tries to bring them back, but he ultimately fails. The video features a couple who escape from a job that they are compelled to work at.
BON JOVI ALBUM COVERS FREE
It is a song about breaking free and going beyond personal limits. Right from the start of the album, “Limitless” sets the theme with a powerful, hard-rock sound, and the music video goes perfectly with it. True to their past style, “2020” has the same rock ‘n’ roll feeling as hits “Wanted Dead or Alive” and “Runaway,” but very different lyrically.
BON JOVI ALBUM COVERS FULL
Titled “2020”, from frontman Jon Bon Jovi’s feeling of clear vision and it being a United States election year, this album is full of political and social themes. Four years after their last release, “This House Is Not For Sale”, rock band Bon Jovi has come out with a new album.
