Always

About

"Always" by Bon Jovi is a powerful love song, originally written for the 1993 film Romeo Is Bleeding. However, after being unimpressed by the film, Jon Bon Jovi decided not to use it for the soundtrack. The song was later re-recorded and released in September 1994 as part of Bon Jovi's greatest hits album, Cross Road. It became one of the band's best-selling singles, selling over a million copies in the US and more than three million worldwide. The song features lush orchestration by Michael Kamen and showcases Jon Bon Jovi's distinctive vocals alongside Richie Sambora's guitar work. "Always" reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topped charts in several countries. The music video, directed by Marty Callner, includes a cast of actors and an alternate version featuring the band performing. Despite its popularity, the song is rarely performed live due to its vocal demands.
