Musical Monday #77 - It's My Life

So, aside from the rather strange Doctor Who music last week, I am no longer going to not post something if i worry people won't like it.  If you don't like something I post, never mind ;)  I may well have posted something I don't like myself, or I've posted it because I like it.

Still, I've done a few Bon Jovi songs over the course of my Musical Mondays, and today is going to be a different one.  However, it's one of his/their songs everyone knows - just done in a completely different style.

It's My Life is possibly one of Bon Jovi's biggest songs - everyone knows it as far as I am concerned, at least once they hear it, they know it.  If you somehow aren't sure what song I mean, then Click Me!  However, while listening to my Last.FM page this evening (I'm writing this on Friday!) I was surprised to hear this version get spat out.  It's the same song, but done in a slower tempo and sung completely differently.

Have a listen and enjoy!  And out of interest - which version do you prefer?  Me, I love the original version, but this is very good too!

It's My Life
This ain't a song for the brokenhearted
No silent prayer for the faith departed
And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive

(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky, gotta make your own breaks

It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive

(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

You better stand tall
When they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break
Baby, don't back down

It's my life
It's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive

(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive

(It's my life)
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive

(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!
