Musicól
Sitting here wasted and wounded
At this old piano
Trying hard to capture
The moment this morning I don’t know
’cause a bottle of vodka
Is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think she’s still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won’t make of me when I’m dead
With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While we’re talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
What you mean to me
And the truth is baby you’re all that I need
I want to lay you on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
Well I’m so far away...
Era assim que cantava o Sr. Jon Bon Jovi em 1994 no album Crossroads.
Em 1999, Sam Mendes revisitava o tema das rosas em American Beauty

Como bem disseste, os visionários foram os Bon Jovi...
E sim, já lá vão mais de 10 anos...
