Bon Jovi song ‘Unbroken’ pays tribute to U.S. veterans, the service dogs who help them
If you’re in London today (February 28th)… “Unbroken” will be re-recorded with members of a British military veterans’ choir and Prince Harry at the famed Abbey Road Studios. Proceeds from the single will support the Invictus Games, an international sporting event for sick and injured veterans that was founded by the prince.
“The inspiration for the cover of ‘Bon Jovi 2020’ is a photo of John F. Kennedy, taken by Michael Ochs in August of 1962,” the front man said. “It pictures the president reflecting both literally and figuratively upon a crowd in California. I saw this photo and wondered what the president was thinking. Since there are so many socially conscious songs on the record and my admiration of the photo of JFK, I asked photographer Clay McBride to capture it as the cover of ‘Bon Jovi 2020.’”
McBride is a New York City-based photographer whose credits include portraits of LeBron James, Allen Iverson, Norah Jones and Kid Rock.
“2020,” Bon Jovi’s follow up to 2016’s “This House Is Not for Sale,” will have more “socially conscious” themes, the singer has said, including gun control, veterans’ issues, politics, the meaning of family and more.
“It encompasses life, love, and loss,” he said in a statement.
The band has announced an 18-date U.S. Bon Jovi 2020 Tour starting June 10 in Tacoma, Washington, and will end with shows July 27 and 28 at Madison Square Garden.
The album is available for pre-order. Visit bonjovi.com for more information.

Lyrics:
LIMITLESS Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks, Billy Falcon
Wake up, everybody wake up
Here we go
it’s just another day
another buzz another beep
scrub your face
and brush your teeth
out the door
into the street
I fell out of my sleep
a million different faces
all from different places
swimming in the sea
trying to keep your head above water
trying to keep your head above water
on a night like this
one prayer one wish
step out off the edge
It’s worth the risk
life is limitless limitless
wake up, everybody wake up
morning comes you do it all again
you know the song it’s on repeat
found your shoes can’t find your feet
grab your wallet and your keys
better not forget to breathe
sweat until your soaking
don’t let them see you choking
a teardrop in the sea
trying to keep your head above water
trying to keep your head above water
on a night like this
one prayer one wish
step out off the edge
it’s worth the risk
life is limitless limitless
life is limitless limitless
Left to figure out
what it’s all about
when the sun comes up
and the sun goes down
is there something more
than it was before
there’s an open door
what are you waiting for
life is limitless limitless
on a night like this
one prayer one wish
step out off the edge
it’s worth the risk
on a night like this
one touch one kiss
step out off the edge
it’s worth the risk
life is limitless limitless
life is limitless limitless
