This House Is Not For Sale music video

Bon Jovi's new music video for "This House Is Not For Sale" has officially dropped. As the teasers on their Facebook page suggested, both Phil X and Hugh McDonald are in the video. The video also comes with closed captions on YouTube, with what I would assume are the official lyrics (so you can compare them with the transcribed version I came up with last night).

Anyway, here is the video for "This House Is Not For Sale":

 

(You can also watch it directly on YouTube.)

And the correct 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 window's cracked and there's nowhere 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 

Coming home

I'm coming home

Coming home

I'm coming home

This house is not for sale

"This House Is Not For Sale" was written by Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks, and Billy Falcon.

I'll admit, I was a little on the fence about the song when I heard it last night. It reminded me of Have a Nice Day, which is not necessarily a bad thing because that album probably saved my life when it came out. But I'm not the same person I was back then. 

Seeing this video made me smile, though. I don't know exactly why, but I'm starting to feel a certain excitement that's been missing for me the past couple of years. I don't know what this "new" Bon Jovi has come up with, or if the new album will provide the soundtrack for the next stage of my life, but I'm looking forward to finding out.

What do you think of the song and/or video?
