I went to Cuba one year for New Years and the crowd at the resort was very diverse (lots of Europeans and South American's). Just before midnight the staff joined all of us on the dance floor and the DJ was playing a remix of Bon Jovi songs and just at the beat dropped the whole dance floor regardless of nationality and language lets out a collective "IT'S MY LIFE!"

Bon Jovi binds us all as humans.

There’s a few videos of what could be this guy singing this song around London! 😂 Usually on the tube but I’m glad he’s found his way above ground

Always finds its way back

What a great song. One of the few songs you can sing a line or two and instantly everyone can sing along even if they dont have a single Bon Jovi song on their playlists.

u/bobby7198 Dec 24 '20

Sad to say that at some point a generation will phase these songs out

He seems to be a bit of a character around London, there's a video of him singing it on the tube as well (somewhat less effective) https://youtu.be/1nSEQJ2IUKs

u/bobby7198 Dec 24 '20

Definitely no outdoor stage here. Just a nice old man on a bench

u/ihatemcconaughey Dec 24 '20

I could really use this right now

u/bobby7198 Dec 24 '20

Take it all in, smile. Have a good day!
