1a canzone al giorno

Nuovo singolo per i Bon Jovi di Jon che ad ottobre pubblicheranno "Bon Jovi 2020" il loro nuovo album di inediti. La canzone si intitola "Do what you can" e ha la particolarità che, durante il lockdown, Jon ha scritto la prima strofa e ha chiesto ai fan via social di scrivere il resto. Dalle storie che gli sono arrivate ha elaborato le altre strofe che adesso ha inciso nella canzone del giorno. Buon ascolto e a domani!

Do what you can (Bon Jovi)

[Verse 1]
Tonight they’re shutting down the borders
And they boarded up the schools
Small towns are rolling up their sidewalks
One last paycheck coming through
I know you’re feeling kind of nervous
We’re all a little bit confused
Nothing’s the same
This ain’t a game
We got to make it through

 [Verse 2]
As we wave outside the window
Older loved ones stay inside
Moms and babies blowing kisses
Maybe saving someone’s life
They had to cancel graduation
It ain’t fair to Skype the prom
Our kids sit home in isolation
TV news is always on

 [Chorus]
When you can’t do what you do
You do what you can
This ain’t my prayer
It’s just a thought I’m wanting to send
Round here we bend but don’t break
Down here we all understand
When you can’t do what you do
You do what you can

 [Verse 3]
The chicken farm from Arkansas
Bought workers p.p.e
Non before 500 more had succumbed to this disease
Honest men and honest women
Working for an honest wage
I got a hundred point I fever
And we still got bills to pay

 [Chorus]
When you can’t do what you do
You do what you can
This ain’t my prayer
It’s just a thought I’m wanting to send
Round here we bend but don’t break
Down here we all understand
When you can’t do what you do
You do what you can

[Verse 4]
They built a hospital on East Meadow
In Central Park last night
Doctors, nurses, truckers, grocery store clerks
Manning the front lines
I saw a Red Cross on the Hudson
They turned off the Broadway lights
Another ambulance screams by
There by the grace of God go I

[Strofa 5]
Although I’ll keep my social distance
What this world needs is a hug
Until we find the vaccination
There’s no substitute for love
So love yourself and love your family
Love your neighbor and your friend
Ain’t it time we loved the stranger
They’re just a friend you ain’t met yet

 [Chorus]
When you can’t do what you do
You do what you can
This ain’t my prayer
It’s just a thought I’m wanting to send
Round here we bend but don’t break
Down here we all understand
When you can’t do what you do
You do what you can
When you can’t do what you do
You do what you can
