Valora este álbum

Lanzado en 2005, Have a Nice Day es el noveno álbum de estudio de Bon Jovi. Este disco marca un regreso triunfal al sonido de arena rock enérgico y optimista que los convirtió en superestrellas. Tras la introspección de sus trabajos anteriores, la banda regresó con un álbum de hard rock y pop-rock lleno de estribillos masivos y guitarras potentes, pero con una madurez lírica que aborda temas sociales y políticos. El álbum fue un éxito comercial rotundo en todo el mundo, impulsado por el himno titular y, sorprendentemente, por el éxito de "Who Says You Can't Go Home" en las listas de música country, lo que les abrió las puertas a una nueva audiencia y demostró su increíble versatilidad.

Contexto y Grabación

Para este álbum, la banda comenzó a trabajar con el productor John Shanks, quien se convertiría en un colaborador clave en su sonido durante la siguiente década. La grabación se centró en crear un sonido de rock potente y moderno, diseñado para los grandes estadios. La canción "Have a Nice Day" fue escrita como una respuesta desafiante a la derrota de John Kerry en las elecciones presidenciales de 2004 en Estados Unidos, y su tono de optimismo rebelde marcó el espíritu del disco. La colaboración con la cantante de country Jennifer Nettles en una versión de "Who Says You Can't Go Home" fue una decisión que, aunque inicialmente arriesgada, resultó ser un éxito masivo.

Análisis Musical y Estilo

El sonido de "Have a Nice Day" es una poderosa mezcla de hard rock clásico y pop-rock contemporáneo. La producción de John Shanks es brillante y enérgica, con un sonido de guitarra muy prominente. Es un álbum lleno de himnos optimistas, perfecto para el directo. Líricamente, el disco equilibra las canciones de amor y desamor con temas de conciencia social y política, una fórmula que la banda ha perfeccionado a lo largo de su carrera.

Análisis de las canciones

La canción que da título al álbum, "Have a Nice Day", es un himno de rock de estadios con un estribillo inolvidable. El mayor éxito del álbum en Estados Unidos fue "Who Says You Can't Go Home".

"Welcome to Wherever You Are" es otra de las baladas destacadas. "Last Man Standing" es un rock enérgico que rinde homenaje a Bob Dylan.

    vídeo del tema Have A Nice Day
    Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life? Who, are you to tell me if it's black or white? Mama, can you hear me? Try to understand. Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man? My daddy lived the lie, that's just the price that he paid Sacrificed his life, just slavin' away. Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto, That gets me through the night. I ain't gonna do what I don't want to, I'm gonna live my life. Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice, Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly. When the world gets in my face, I say, Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day Take a look around you; nothing's what it seems We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams, Let me be the first to shake a helping hand. Anybody brave enough to take a stand, I've knocked on every door, on every dead end street, Looking for forgiveness, what's left to believe? Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto, That gets me through the night. I ain't gonna do what I don't want to, I'm gonna live my life. Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice, Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly. When the world gets in my face, I say, Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day. [Guitar Solo] Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto, That gets me through the night. I ain't gonna do what I don't want to, I'm gonna live my life. Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice, Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly. When the world gets in my face, I say, Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day. When The world keeps trying, to drag me down, I gotta raise my hands, I'm gonna stand my ground. Well I say, Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day Have A Nice Day

    Maybe we're different, but we're still the same We all got the blood of Eden, running through our veins I know sometimes it's hard for you to see You come between just who you are and who you wanna be If you feel alone, and lost and need a friend Remember every new beginning, is some beginning's end [Chorus] Welcome to wherever you are This is your life, you made it this far Welcome, you gotta believe That right here right now, you're exactly where you're supposed to be Welcome, to wherever you are When everybody's in, and you're left out And you feel your drowning, in a shadow of a doubt Everyones a miracle in their own way Just listen to yourself, not what other people say When it seems you're lost, alone and feeling down Remember everybody's different Just take a look around [Chorus] Be who you want to, be who you are Everyones a hero, everyones a star When you wanna give up, and your hearts about to break Remember that you're perfect, God makes no mistakes [Chorus]
  4. Who Says You Can't Go Home4:40

    Letra

    I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place I was looking for something I couldn't replace I was running away from the only thing I've ever known Like a blind dog without a bone I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold I been there, done thatand I ain't lookin' back on the seeds I've sown, Saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone Who says you can't go home [Chorus] Who says you can't go home There's only one place they call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, who says you can't go home Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face There isn't one of these lines that I would erase I lived a million miles of memories on that road With every step I take I know that I'm not alone You take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home These are my streets, the only life I've ever known, who says you can't go home [Chorus] I been there, done thatand I ain't looking that It's been a long long road Feels like I never left, that's how the story goes It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter where you go If it's a million miles aways or just a mile up the road Take it in, take it with you when you go, who says you can't go home [Chorus] It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright Who says you can't go home [x2]
  5. Last Man Standing4:37

    Letra

    Come see a living, breathing spectacle Only seen right here It's your last chance in this lifetime The line forms at the rear You won't believe your eyes Your eyes will not believe your ears Get your money out, get ready Step right up, yeah you, come here You ain't seen nothing like him He's the last one of the breed You better hold on to your honey Honeys, don't forget to breathe Enter at your own risk, mister It might change the way you think There's no dancers, there's no diamonds No this boy he don't lip synch [Chorus] Here's the last man standing Step right up, he's the real thing The last chance of a lifetime Come and see, hear, feel, the real thing See those real live calloused fingers Wrapped around those guitar strings Kiss the lips where hurt has lingered It breaks the heart to hear him sing The songs were more than music They were pictures from the soul So keep your pseudo-punk, hip-hop, pop-rock junk And your digital downloads [Chorus] Take your seats now, folks. It's show time. Hey, Patrick hit the lights There's something in the air There's magic in the night Now here's the band, they really play I'll count the first one in I don't know where it's going We all know where it's been [Chorus x2]
  6. Bells Of Freedom4:55

    Letra

    I have walked all alone On these streets, I call home Streets of hope, streets of fear Through the sidewalk cracks Time dissapears I was lost, on my knees On the eve of defeat As i choked back the tears There's a silent scream no-one could hear So far away from everything, you know it's true Something inside that makes you know what you've got to do [Chorus] Ring the bells, ring them loud Let them ring here and now Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom When your world's crashing down like you've lost every round Stand your ground And ring the bells of freedom Up the steps of the church Through the fields in the dirt In the dark I have seen That the sun still shines for the one who believed So far away, so full of doubt, you needed proof Just close your eyes, and hear the sound inside of you [Chorus x3]
  7. Wildflower4:13

    Letra

    She wakes up when I sleep To talk to ghosts like in the movies If you don't follow what I mean I sure don't mean to be confusing They say when she laughs she wants to cry She'll draw a crowd then try to hide Don't know if it's her or just my mind I'm losing Nobody knows a wildflower still grows By the side of the road And she don't need to need like the roses Wildflower That girl's sure put a spell on me Yeah, her voodoos hidden right behind her pocket If she's fire, I'm gasoline Yeah, we fight a lot but neither wants to stop it Well, she'll tell you she's an only child until you meet her brothers Swear she's never met the man she couldn't make into a lover [Chorus] Nobody knows a wildflower still grows By the side of the road And she don't need to need like the roses She's at home with the weeds And just as free as the night breeze She's got the cool of a shade tree She's growin' on me and I can't live with out her Yesterday's a memory Tomorrow's accessory That's her favorite quote about regret Well, she'll tell you about her pedigree With a sailor's mouth he'd have left at sea and it ain't over yet [Chorus] Nobody knows [x3] That's right She wakes up when I sleep To talk to ghosts like in the movies
  8. Last Cigarette3:38

    Letra

    Regrets are all you left, on your lipstick stains Take a picture of our past there in that ashtray We had our fun, I used to light your flame Like the dancing smoke that rose we tried to find our way No one told me, she told me Your love's like one last cigarette Last cigarette, I will savor it The last cigarette Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends But when it's gone, it's gone The last cigarette Just to breathe reminds me of what used to be The smoke's the ghost that keeps you close when I can't sleep Don't ask the past to last, it's about to change The memories don't answer when I call your name No one told me, she told me [Chorus] Your love's like one last cigarette Last cigarette, I will savor it The last cigarette Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends But when it's gone, it's gone One last cigarette, last cigarette One I can't forget, the last cigarette Right there at my fingertips, got your taste still on my lips Right or wrong You're still gone, gone, gone No one told me, she told me You always lose the girl in a Brian Wilson world [Chorus] No one told me, she told me The Last Cigarette
  9. I Am3:53

    Letra

    How you spend your minutes are what matters All tomorrows come from yesterday's When you're feeling broke and bruised and sometimes shattered Blew out the candles on the cake like everything's a big mistake It seems you always wait for life to happen And your last buck can't buy a lucky break If all we've got is us then lifes worth living And if you're in, you know I'm in I'm ready and I'm willing [Chorus] I Am When you think that no-one needs you Sees you or believes you No ones there to understand I Am I'll be there to be that someone When you think that no one, is there to hold your hand I Am We're just who we are, there's no pretending It takes a while to learn to live in your own skin Say a prayer that we might find our happy ending And if you're in, you know I'm in I'm ready and I'm willing [Chorus] And I aint got no halo hanging over my head I aint gonna judge you, I'm just here to love you I Am I Am [Chorus x2]

    Take a look around, this is what I see Is there anybody else that feels like me?

  11. Novocaine

    Letra

    You can take back all your secrets We'll divide up all the lies Keep all the pictures in their frames Cut me out, yeah I'll be fine Tell the neighbours all my feelings Go on and give away all my pride It's hard to laugh and cry, live and die every night Keep your rolodex of friends And all the remnants can be mind I guess there'll be no happy endings When once upon is doing time There's a different kind of meaning now To living on a prayer Some don't seem to notice And the rest don't seem to care [Chorus] I tell myself I (feel no pain) But I'm feeling the pain (walk away) Can't walk away I'm hanging on the ropes of hope It's getting hard to cope you know When you're the needle running through my veins I've changed my name to novocaine You put my favorite belongings in a box in the garage (let's get this straight) You burned my favorite sweats from high school Tried to sell my muscle car (that's not OK) You're mother's gonna visit for a couple months this year They say you do the crime, you do the time It's all so clear [Chorus] Well things ain't what they used to be It's a sleepless, self-help century I'm up to here with Dr. Phil and the modern man in me [Chorus x2] Novocaine [x3]
  12. Story Of My Life4:08

    Letra

    Yesterdays a memory Another page in history You sell yourself on hopes and dreams That leaves you feeling sideways. Tripping over my own feet Trying to walk to my own beat Another car out on the street trying to find the Highway Yeah, Are you going my way? [Chorus] This is the story of my life And I write it everyday I know it isn't black and white And it's anything but grey I know that no I'm not alright, but I feel ok cos Anything can, everything can happen That's the story of my life I gonna write the melody That's gonna make history, And when I paint my masterpiece I swear I'll show you first There just ain't a way to see who and why or what will be Till now is then It's a mystery, it's a blessing and a curse Or something worse [Chorus] This is the story of my life And I write it everyday, And I hope you're by my side when I'm writing the last page [Chorus x2]
