Always - Bon Jovi Cover - Hive Open Mic Week 156 - Happy 3rd Birthday To Hive Open Mic! :D

Hi Guys

This past 2 weeks I havent been able to record for open mic .The main reason is my mother is currently in hospital awaiting for mayoma surgery , my siblings and I have been looking after her during this difficult time but thankful to say she will have this surgery tommorrow and hopeful everything is better for us here.

I also had no ideas of songs to sing for the muscial comedy week or for DNA but for this very special 3 year aniversary of HIVE Open mic I didnt want to miss oout, I want to be here to celebrate this big week with you all and I look forward to seeing what songs will be brought on for this week.

The song I want to try is one that I had to challenege my self to sing , for me songs like this one "Always" by Bon Jovi are to the extreme in vocal range . I think its not so easy to sing such powerful songs well so I challenge myself to try this one , which is a long favorite of mine but until recently I never have recorded it or sing it live on stage.

I hope you will enjoy listening to my version. Im sorry for the slight noise interferance in the start of the video , it is due to the rusted connections on my V8 card .I will buy a new one soon , for now hope it wont interfer to much with the video quaility.

"Always"
Bon Jovi

This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see, I've always been a fighter
But without you, I give up

I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me

And I will love you, baby, always
And I'll be there forever and a day, always
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine
'Til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you, always

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye

What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers, try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I wish I was him cause these words are mine
To say to you 'til the end of time

That I will love you baby, always
And I'll be there forever and a day, always
If you told me to cry for you, I could
If you told me to die for you, I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you

Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby, if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you, baby, always
And I'll be there forever and a day, always
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine
'Til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you, always
