BANDUNG, MOREMEDIA.

Lagu Bed of Roses adalah lagu Bon Jovi yang pertama kali dirilis pada tahun 1992 di album Keep the Faith, kemudian dirilis sebagai single pada akhir Januari tahun 1993.

Ceritanya berawal dari terciptanya lagu ini ketika sang vokalis Jon Bon Jovi menulis lagu tersebut di kamar hotel saat menderita sedang mabuk dan lirik tersebut mencerminkan perasaannya saat itu. 

Bed of Roses berisi riff gitar yang ditarik dan permainan piano lembut, bersama dengan vokal yang emosional dan tinggi oleh Jon Bon Jovi.

Gaya musik power ballad lagu ini membuatnya menjadi hit di seluruh dunia, dan itu menunjukkan gaya baru band yang lebih dewasa setelah kesuksesan mereka sebagai band glam metal pada 1980-an.

Bed of Roses mencapai kesuksesan dengan mencapai No 10 di Billboard Hot 100, No 5 di Top 40 Mainstream, nomor 13 di Top 40 di Inggris, dan nomor 10 di Top 100 di Negara Jerman.

Adapun lirik dari lagu Bed Of Roses, Berikut MOREMEDIA rangkum untuk ada lirik lagu Bed Of Roses

Sitting here wasted and wounded

At this old piano

Trying hard to capture

The moment this morning I don't know

'Cause a bottle of vodka

Is still lodged in my head

And some blonde gave me nightmares

I think that she's still in my bed

As I dream about movies

They won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and

French kiss the morning

While some marching band keeps

It's own beat in my head

While we're talking

About all of the things that I long to believe

About love, the truth and

What you mean to me

And the truth is baby you're all that I need

Reff

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails

Oh, I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on bed of roses

Well I'm so far away

That each step that I take is on my way home

A king's ransom in dimes, I'd give each night

To see through this pay phone

Still I run out of time

Or it's hard to get through

'Til the bird on the wire flies me back to you

I'll just close my eyes and whisper

Baby, blind love is true

Reff

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails

Oh, I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on bed of roses

Well, this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry

The barkeeper's wig's crooked

And she's giving me the eye

And I might have said yeah

But I laughed so hard I think I died

Ooh yeah

Now as you close your eyes

Know I'll be thinking about you

While my mistress, she calls me

To stand in her spotlight again

Tonight, I won't be alone

But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely

I've got nothing to prove

For it's you that I'd die to defend

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails

Oh, I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is

And lay you down

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails

Oh, I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on bed of roses.
