In 1984 and 1985, Bon Jovi released their first two albums and their debut single "Runaway" managed to crack the Top 40. In 1986, the band achieved widespread success and global recognition with their third album, Slippery When Wet, which sold over 20 million copies and included three Top 10 singles, two of which reached No. 1 ("You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Livin' on a Prayer") Their fourth album, New Jersey (1988), was also very successful, selling over 10 million copies and featuring five Top 10 singles (a record for a glam metal album), two of which reached No. 1 ("Bad Medicine" and "I'll Be There for You"). After the band toured and recorded extensively during the late 1980s, culminating in the 1988–1990 New Jersey Tour, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora released successful solo albums in 1990 and 1991, respectively.
In 1992, the band returned with the double-platinum Keep the Faith. This was followed by their biggest-selling and longest-charting single "Always" (1994) and the album These Days (1995), which proved to be a bigger success in Europe than in the United States, producing four Top Ten singles in the United Kingdom. Following a second hiatus, their 2000 album Crush, particularly the lead single, "It's My Life", successfully introduced the band to a younger audience, and the band considered this their comeback album. The band followed up with Bounce in 2002. The platinum albums Have a Nice Day (2005) and Lost Highway (2007) saw the band incorporate elements of country music into some of the songs, including the 2006 single "Who Says You Can't Go Home", which won the band a Grammy Award and became the first single by a rock band to reach No. 1 on the country charts. The Circle (2009) marked a return to the band's rock sound. The band also enjoyed great success touring, with both the 2005–2006 Have a Nice Day Tour and 2007–2008 Lost Highway Tour ranking among the Top 20 highest-grossing concert tours of the 2000s. After recording and releasing Because We Can in 2013, lead guitarist Richie Sambora left the band just before an April concert during the supporting tour to spend more time with his family. The band released their first studio album without Sambora, Burning Bridges, in 2015 and the follow-up album This House Is Not for Sale in 2016, the tour for which encompassed 2017–2019. Their most recent album 2020 (2020) was re-worked to include songs inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic and George Floyd protests; its supporting tour was delayed to 2022.
Bon Jovi has released 15 studio albums, five compilations and three live albums. They have sold more than 120 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling American rock bands, and performed more than 2,700 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans. Bon Jovi was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. The band received the Award of Merit at the American Music Awards in 2004, and Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora were inducted into Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2009.

Starting All Over Again
Bon Jovi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryin' to find the faith and the power to get back home to you
It's been a long time, long time since I've seen your face
On and on I could not replace the fire that burns for you
So here's to the good times, here's to the bad
Here's to the memories that we all had
Here's to tomorrow, let yesterday pass us by
Tonight we'll be starting all over again
And it feels like the first time
I'll never feel this way again
Starting all over again
Do you remember, remember the odds we were given
When we had nothing and we thought that was living
It's been such a long, long roadâ?¦
Here's to our old friend who helps us get by
Here's to the dreamers, may dreams never die
If we believe we can all keep the good times alive
Tonight we'll be starting all over again
It's like starting all over again
Tonight we'll be starting all over again
It feels like the first time
I'll never feel this way again
Whoa, tonight we'll be starting all over again
And it feels like the first time
I know whenever we're together my friends
It's like starting all over again
I been waiting, standing in the dark for hours
Trying to find the faith and the power to start it all over again
The lyrics of Bon Jovi's song "Starting All Over Again" talk about the desire to reunite with a loved one and start afresh after a long time of being apart. The singer has been waiting for hours in the dark, trying to find the faith and power to return home to the person they miss. The song expresses the emotions felt after a period of separation, and the determination to rekindle an old flame.
The lyrics also reminisce about old times and memories, both good and bad. The singer acknowledges that it's been a long, long road, and there were moments when life seemed hopeless. However, they toast to the friends who have helped them get by, the dreamers who keep the hope alive, and yesterday, which they decide to let go of. The song welcoms tomorrow with renewed faith, positivity and a commitment to relive the good times again.
The refrain of the song echoes the message that tonight they will be starting all over again, and it will feel like the first time. The feelings of love, excitement and anticipation that the first time always brings can be relived. The song ends on a hopeful and upbeat note, as the singer promises to keep starting over again each time they are together with their friends.

I am certain that every time we're together we will have a good time
It's like starting all over again
It feels as though we're beginning from scratch

コメントでみんな「隠れた名曲」って言ってるけど、私この曲を普通に知ってる。高校生の頃ウォークマンで通学中に聴いてた、お気に入りの曲だった。それも、まさにこのバージョンで。開放感のある曲調が好きだったな。久しぶりに聴きたくてYou Tube探したら、この動画にたどり着きました！ thankyou for uploading!

My favourite Bon Jovi song that I haven't been able to listen to for 8 years since our disc was scratched. Now that I've found it, I will binge listen to it for months.

Bon Jovi wrote an incredible number of great songs that don't appear on real albums. This one's a gem
@haberak3310
This version sounds much more... finished. Like the box set sounds like they were like "This is a good idea, let's get it on tape." This one sounds like they went back and said "Okay, let's tweak this, add that, remove the other thing, so forth and so on."
@bonjovirocks24
Agreed!! Unbelievable this was never released on an album or as a single. 100,000,000 fans can’t be wrong. ❤️❤️❤️
@Queretonix
They rerecorded Jon's vocals completely and added backing vocals, among other things.
@haberak3310
@@Queretonix Mhm, and it's all the better for it. It's sounds completed
@antoniocalibur3481
Exactly, another version sucks
