Valora este álbum

Crush es un álbum de Bon Jovi, publicado en 2000 por Mercury. El disco incluye 12 canciones, entre ellas «It's My Life», «Say It Isn't So», «Thank You For Loving Me» y «Two Story Town».

Lanzado en el año 2000, tras una pausa de cinco años, Crush es el séptimo álbum de estudio de Bon Jovi y el disco que marcó su espectacular regreso y resurrección comercial en el nuevo milenio. "Crush" es una obra de pop-rock con un sonido fresco y contemporáneo, que combina la energía del rock de estadios con melodías pop irresistibles. El álbum fue impulsado por el éxito masivo del sencillo "It's My Life", un himno de autoafirmación que se convirtió en una de las canciones más famosas de su carrera y los presentó a una nueva generación de fans. "Crush" fue un éxito de ventas mundial, recibió dos nominaciones al Grammy y demostró que Bon Jovi era una de las pocas bandas de los 80 capaz de seguir dominando las listas de éxitos en el siglo XXI.

Grabación y contexto

Tras la gira de "These Days" en 1996, la banda se tomó el descanso más largo de su carrera. Durante este tiempo, Jon Bon Jovi y Richie Sambora se centraron en sus carreras en solitario y en el cine. El futuro de la banda era incierto. Sin embargo, a finales de los 90, decidieron reunirse para componer un nuevo álbum. Para ello, colaboraron con el productor Luke Ebbin y, crucialmente, con el superproductor de pop sueco Max Martin, el arquitecto de los éxitos de Britney Spears y los Backstreet Boys. La colaboración con Martin en "It's My Life" fue clave para crear un sonido que fuera a la vez fiel a la esencia de Bon Jovi y perfectamente adaptado a la radio del año 2000.

Estilo y propuesta sonora

El sonido de "Crush" es una mezcla de rock melódico con una producción de pop moderno. Es un álbum optimista y lleno de energía, con un sonido más brillante que el oscuro "These Days". Las canciones están llenas de estribillos pegadizos, armonías vocales y arreglos de guitarra sofisticados. Es un disco que equilibra perfectamente las baladas poderosas con los himnos de rock de medio tiempo, todo ello con una producción impecable.

Tema a tema

El sencillo principal, "It's My Life", es uno de los himnos más grandes de su carrera. Con su icónico uso del "talk box" (un guiño a "Livin' on a Prayer") y su letra de autoafirmación, la canción se convirtió en un éxito global masivo. La balada "Thank You for Loving Me" se convirtió en otra de sus power ballads más queridas. "Say It Isn't So" es un pegadizo tema de pop-rock. El álbum también incluye temas más experimentales como "Next 100 Years", una épica de seis minutos con arreglos orquestales.

Debut y resultados en listas

"Crush" fue un éxito comercial masivo en todo el mundo, vendiendo más de 8 millones de copias y devolviendo a Bon Jovi a la cima de las listas.

Acogida de la crítica

La crítica recibió el álbum de forma muy positiva. Fue elogiado por su energía, su sonido moderno y la increíble calidad de sus sencillos. "Crush" no solo fue un regreso triunfal, sino que también demostró la increíble capacidad de Bon Jovi para adaptarse y seguir creando música relevante y exitosa para una nueva generación.

    It's hard for me to say the things I want to say sometimes There's no one here but you and me And that broken old street light Lock the doors We'll leave the world outside All I've got to give to you Are these five words tonight [Chorus:] Thank you for loving me For being my eyes When I couldn't see For parting my lips When I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me Thank you for loving me I never knew I had a dream Until that dream was you When I look into your eyes The sky's a different blue Cross my heart I wear no disguise If I tried, you'd make believe That you believed my lies [Chorus:] Thank you for loving me For being my eyes When I couldn't see For parting my lips When I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me You pick me up when I fall down You ring the bell before they count me out If I was drowning you would part the sea And risk your own life to rescue me [Solo] Lock the doors We'll leave the world outside All I've got to give to you Are these five words tonight [Chorus:] Thank you for loving me For being my eyes When I couldn't see You parted my lips When I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me When I couldn't fly Oh, you gave me wings You parted my lips When I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me

    Letra

    Hey, man, it's been a while Do you remember me? When I hit the streets I was 17 A little wild, a little green I've been up and down and in between After all these years and miles of memories I'm still chasing dreams But I ain't looking over my shoulder [Chorus:] I like the bed I'm sleeping in It's just like me, it's broken in It's not old - just older Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans This skin I'm in it's alright with me It's not old - just older It's good to see your face You ain't no worse for wear Breathing that California air When we took on the world When we were young and brave We got secrets that we'll take to the grave And we're standing here shoulder to shoulder [Chorus:] I like the bed I'm sleeping in It's just like me, it's broken in It's not old - just older Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans This skin I'm in it's alright with me It's not old - just older I'm not old enough to sing the blues But I wore the holes in the soles of these shoes You can roll the dice 'til they call your bluff But you can't win until you're not afraid to lose [Solo] Well, I look in the mirror I don't hate what I see There's a few more lines staring back at me Now the nights has grown a little colder Hey man, I gotta run Now you take care If you see coach T. Tell him I've cut my hair I've kept my faith I still belive I'm just... Ha [Chorus:] I like the bed I'm sleeping in It's just like me, it's broken in It's not old - just older Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans This skin I'm in it's alright with me It's not old - just older

    There are days when she's a whisper Nights when she's a scream A reason to wake up in the morning To close your eyes and dream She'll curse you like a sailor She'll wound you with her eyes She always makes it better But she won't apologize I know everything about her but don't know her at all [Chorus: ] She's a ride on a mystery train To a place you've never been before Better hold on tight to that mystery train You're not in Kansas anymore She's a ride Mystery train She cries because she's happy She sings songs when she's mad Like a stiff drink when you need it She's good at being bad And long before you knew her you knew she was the one [Chorus: ] She's a ride on a mystery train To a place you've never been before Better hold on tight to that mystery train You're not in Kansas anymore She's a ride Mystery train [Solo ] I know everything about her but don't know her at all [Chorus:] She's a ride on a mystery train To a place I've never been before Better hold on tight to that mystery train I'm not in Kansas anymore She's a ride On a mystery train She's a ride On a mystery train
