Never Say Goodbye, by Bon Jovi.
Fitting perhaps, that this song about not giving up on ideas that might not have been the best ideas, but were ideas nonetheless, graces us on day 99, recorded from a corner of the bedroom about 18 inches away from the dog, who fell asleep anyway, while the other two floors of the house are a little torn up with water damage repairs in progress.
I knew I’d end up recording some of these in odd places, I just didn’t know it would be odd places inside my own home but here we are.
Have I ever met a bad power ballad? I don’t know. There are so many good ones. There are also more Bon Jovi songs already on the list, but this one has been on the “maybe try this next time at karaoke” list in the Notes app on my phone. What, like you don’t have a karaoke list somewhere? You should. Dream big. Aim high. Fail spectacularly if you’re going to fail at karaoke.
But honestly, anything from Slippery When Wet is going to be a winner.

Tuned down a half step last night for Poison as per the instructions, and didn’t realize until after I rehearsed this once and went to tune up. So I tuned all the way up, and it was easier to sing that way, too.
