Bed of Roses

About Bed of Roses

"Bed of Roses" is a song by American rock band Bon Jovi, first appearing in 1992 on the album Keep the Faith, then released as a single in late January 1993. Jon Bon Jovi wrote the song in a hotel room while suffering from a hangover and the lyrics reflect his feelings at the time. The song contains drawn out guitar riffs and soft piano playing, along with emotive and high vocals by Jon Bon Jovi. The song's power ballad style made it a worldwide hit, and it demonstrated the band's new, more mature sound after their success as a glam metal band in the 1980s. The single reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 5 on the top 40 mainstream, number 13 in the UK Top 40, and number 10 in the German Top 100. A Spanish version, Cama de Rosas, was also recorded. more »
