Bon Jovi have premiered the video for their brand new single “This house is not for sale”.
The track is the first taste taken from the band’s forthcoming 14th studio album. It marks the first-ever Bon Jovi CD without any creative input from guitarist Richie Sambora who left the band in 2013.
Describing the album, frontman Jon Bon Jovi said: “This record is about our integrity. Integrity matters and we’re at a stage of our career where we don’t have anything left to prove. Some songs have a little more of the ‘chip on my shoulder’ sound which is OK for us to have right now.”
The video for “This house is not for sale” is directed by Indrani. It shows the lead singer cruises around a suburban town in an old-school car, revisiting presumably nostalgic sites like an on-the-market house and an overgrown cemetery. He eventually meets up with the band for a quick jam session.
Lyrics:
These four walls have got a story to tell
The door is off the hinges, there’s no wish in the well
Outside the sky is coal black, the streets are on fire
The picture windows cracked and there’s no where to run
I know, I know
This house is not for sale
I set each stone and I hammered each nail
This house is not for sale
Where memories live and the dream don’t fail
This house is not for sale
Coming home
I’m coming home
Drove a spike into the ground and I staked my claim
Standing on the dirt where they’ll dig my grave
Now what built these walls is in my veins
No time for looking back, the wolf is at the door
This heart, this soul
This house is not for sale
I set each stone and I hammered each nail
This house is not for sale
Where memories live and the dream don’t fail
This house is not for sale
Coming home
I’m coming home
This house was built on trust
That’s what it is and always was
No wrecking ball could knock it down
This house was built on higher ground
I set each stone and I hammered each nail
This house is not for sale
Where memories live and the dream don’t fail
This house is not for sale
Coming home
I’m coming home
Coming home
I’m coming home
This house is not for sale
Coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
This house is not for sale
