Bon Jovi - Distance – Photography and Distance

I heard a new song for myself. It had such a dense and slightly dark sound. It turned out to be Bon Jovi. Cool, of course! And his song "Distance." I don't know all his albums. And I was surprised. Such a cool black and white photo. With a huge antenna and lightning in the sky. Great photography. Such a slightly dark mood. But not much. And stylish, like Bon Jovi always is.

Nice intro. Very dense sound. With sharp highs, I think. With a good rumble. A sound like bass. A rough description. Dense, you can immediately tell it's a riff. Something massive. On a musical canvas. Like dark waves. In the dark. Dense, massive. Rolling over and over. And then there's the low part with the bass. And the high part with a kind of sawed-off riff.

Such gloomy weather. Another way to describe the intro sound. Well, like on the cover. The photo shows it all very well. And then all the hum dies down. And the density drops to the level of the acoustics. There's an antenna there. The signal level has become quieter. The arrow showing the signal is no longer at the highs, but at the bottom. Such a low sound intensity. Acoustics. The acoustic part is on. And the singer sings there. In fact, he sings right after the rock riff ends at the intro.

The singer has a certain singing style. He draws out the words. It turns out to be his own way of singing. As if he's talking. Far from home. Outside the window. I keep walking. Keep walking. Close your eyes. From the part about the road. The rock intensity increases. And there's even a moment like an orchestral sound. In the background. For variety. And then the dense rock part starts again. And then here's the riff from the intro again. It's the guitarist's calling card. It's the riff. Great idea!

Dark skies. There's a gap. Distance. And there's also a powerful guitar riff. Again, the vocals drag on. The words sound so long. But that's what singing is. Drawing out the words. The guitar reveals some new sounds. And the whole song has this rock rhythm. Similar to the intro. And like waves.

Unknown. Distant. The song is full-length. That is, almost five minutes. A long song. Really high-quality. And this time, John sings in a slightly dark rock spirit. Everything sounds natural in his style. I just usually associate this singer's music with positivity, good mood, glam rock. And here's another new page in his work. But the album is great! I first found it by the cover. I got interested. And this is the first song I came across.

Surprising. But all the thunder of the guitar and drums here is slightly diluted by an interesting sound. Like an orchestra. But literally just a little. Interesting technique. And the rhythm guitars are great here. I especially adore noisy rhythm guitars. Like here, for example. The guitars are so dark and dense. They go well throughout the song. The drums are so deafening.

The guitars here are really good. So dense. The vocals are good. That's also important. The end result is a really cool song. A bit black and white. Dark. Just like the cover. It's a really interesting theme. Bon Jovi is a rock band, after all. So, it's both rock guitar and singing. All in one. I really like the guitars in this song. As they say, I wish I could master a musical instrument like that.

The vocals, of course, shouldn't be understated either. Everything is excellent. Everything is as it should be and sounds great. This disc surprised me. And it all started with the cover. And then there's "The Distance" – the first song I heard.

The track ends like a blockbuster. The sound fades away so slowly. And then there's that rhythm guitar. And that signature orchestral sound. It sounds really cool! Just like the most powerful films on VHS or DVD. A powerful movie hit. Just the song. It's Bon Jovi. And his distance. For me, it's an association between antenna and distance. Photography and distance. That's how it all started.
