强烈推荐!!!不知道有没有志同道合之人呢?这个专辑我98年一个同学送的(他说不好听就给我了,一个卡口带,当时知道邦乔维,但不是到谁是jon bon jovi。。。。汗),说实话,我一次就爱上这个专辑了(当时一直怀疑这个一定是精选集)。磁带上了大学还一直被我带着,知道毕业工作第二年搬家弄丢了。现在又从新下载了一遍,听起来还是那么经典,每次听得感觉都是熟悉而感人,邦乔维多变的声线和风格简直发挥到了极致,多种尝试性的曲风给人焕然一新的感觉。

专辑所哟歌曲的介绍!(好不容易找到了,不过是英文,我想喜欢jon的人应该不会介意吧。。。)1. Queen of New Orleans: Destination Anywhere starts out with a kick in the butt, but a kick unlike the usual. Starting out with a cool, gritty guitar groove, it kicks into a toe-tapping, pelvis-thrusting, get-down sexy beat. This song is one of the lighter on the album, with no particular heavy lyrical content: "She was more than a girl, she was a cabaret star; I was a deer in the lights of a speeding car. Nothing's what is seems, she was a Venus de Milo in her sister's jeans." Queen is fun, sensual, and witty. Quite a good way to open up the album. 2. Janie, Don't Take Your Love To Town: This one starts with a tranquil string arrangement, then kicks into an upbeat rocker that's so infectious it's contagious. Forget the penicillin -- there's no cure for this one. This tune is a relationship song that paints the imperfections of a partnership, but yet the strengths: "I didn't come this far to throw the towel in, I didn't come this far to walk away. If I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorry, it's just because the words got in the way. I remember how it used to be, I was you and you were me; we were more than just the same." A song inspired by a rare fight between him and his wife, it reads as an apology (Hey Dorothea, just smack him around a little and then forgive him ). This number portrays a humbleness and humility we all possess: Making mistakes, beating yourself up for them but learning from them, while never giving up the fight along the way. After all, love is worth the fight, isn't it? Truly a favorite on the album. 3. Midnight in Chelsea: The first single off Destination . . . this one is the most pop-oriented on the album. Light drums, heavy on the keyboards and "sha-la-la's", this is a fine song, but not a stand-out. A big mistake Jon made in regards to this album is releasing this song as the first single. Too poppy, people might think Jon has totally forsaken his sound. A fairly good song, nonetheless, in a lyrical sense. This song is about Jon's experiences walking through the streets of London, the people he sees, and the freedom to be who he really is without being under a microscope: "No one's pinned their dreams on me, no one's asking me to bleed, I'm the man I want to be." " No one's asking me for favors, no one's looking for a savior, they're too busy saving me." 4. Ugly: Funky and spunky, this one starts out with an ultra-cool guitar riff that hearkens to the rock scene of the 70s. Tambourines and some delightful harmonica work competes the song. Co-written by Eric Bazilian (who wrote Joan Osborn's "One of Us"), this song is unique. Lyrically, it's the simple idea of everyone feeling ugly, or having that bad hair day, or just not feeling up to par some days. It also conveys the idea that sometimes we don't picture ourselves in the same light as others do: "If you're ugly, I'm ugly too; in your eyes the sky's a different blue. If you could see youself like others do; you'd wish you were as beautiful as you. And I wish I was a camera sometimes, so I could take your picture with my mind. Put it in a frame for you to see, how beautiful you really are to me."

5. Staring At Your Window With A Suitcase In My Hand: This tune flows with easy sounding guitars and keys, and with what sounds like something that resembles a xylophone. Jon's vocals are easy -- almost like a lullaby. Another relationship song, exhibiting the emotions of confusion and despair, it's a moving piece. Originally titled, All In The Name Of Love, this song was originally written for the small indie English film, "The Leading Man," which Jon starred it. It's an excellent song that's difficult to get out of your head: "Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand; the streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn. My boots just keep on walkin', but my heart don't understand; why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand." 6. Every Word Was A Piece Of My Heart: This gem of a tune is a song that many feel should be the next release. One of the best on the album, and a definite favorite, this one has a magic all it's own. With a crunchy rock beat and a steady drum beat, this one is probably the closest to the Bon Jovi sound. This song is about Jon as a song-writer, and how every word he's written was part of his heart and soul, and every word was as honest as he could make it: "I've been staring at the page, for what seems like days; I guess I put this one off for a while. Did I see a tear fall from your eyes, or did you laugh so hard that you cried; when I served my secrets on a silver tray to you." It could also, in some ways, be interpreted as a love song: "You've been the blood in my veins, the only one who knows my middle name; and the smiles they came easy `cause of you." 7. It's Just Me: I love mushy love songs, and this is one of them. The vocals are extraordinary on this one, with Jon hitting the high notes. Unlike some previous ballads (Bed of Roses, Always), this song is slow and mellow, not the typical melodic ballad. The concentration is on the vocals and the words, with a very simple drum beat, and some light guitar work during the beginning of the song. The guitars pick up a bit during the second verse, providing an exquisite background. While the song is a lengthy one, there is some beautifully soulful guitar work by Dave Stewart and Eric Bazilian during the end of the song. Without a doubt, this song is almost close to perfect in just about every aspect -- A personal favorite of mine and a definite highlight on the album. The lyrics are personal in nature, being it's a poetic letter to the love of his life (that being his wife). Deep and emotional, it touches the heart: "Just like a shadow 10 feet tall, standing right behind you should you fall. I'll be the one to hold you up to walk, when this wicked world makes us want to crawl. And if your waves should ever break at sea; I'll be there waiting, I'm that sandy beach. I'm that same old dog, scratching those same fleas; I'll be by your side, you can count on me." 8. Destination Anywhere: This tune is up-tempo with a likable rock beat. As New Jersey as this may sound, this one reminds me of Bruce Springteen's Born To Run. It has that Jersey rock feel to it musically, and Jon almost sounds like the Boss a bit in his approach to the way he sings. Lyrically, it's the same type of theme as Born To Run, the let's-get-outta-this-town-while-we-can anthem: "When these wheels spin, they can eat our dust. As far as I'm concerned, this whole town's lost its nuts. We won't be here when they put us down, it's our last chance and I'm calling you now. They'll never let us go unless we try, I'm tired of living just to die. We're getting out of here -- Destination Anywhere."
