The official music video for "The People's House" by Bon Jovi featuring The War and Treaty is out now. Since this version came out, I've been trying to decide if I prefer the album version or this duet version and... I think I actually like the duet more. Just feels more rousing, anthemic and soulful.
This is, of course, the video they were shooting when Jon Bon Jovi made international headlines by being one of two people spotted on CCTV footage helping to talk someone from the ledge of the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. I hope that person is doing okay now.
Somewhat ironically, news of Jon and his production assistant's heroics broke on R U OK? Day in Australia -- an initiative that aims to prevent suicide by encouraging people to have check-in conversations with each other... and frankly, an initiative that I (as a mental health survivor) have always found pretty naff. Well-meaning, but ends up being silly in practice. But I guess this event proved that conversations can save lives, which is sort of the point, even if the day itself has become an excuse for companies to host morning teas and pretend they give a crap about their workers.
Sorry, I digress.
Jon also officially endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz while promoting "The People's House". Naturally, the endorsement has upset some folks, but shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who hasn't been living under a rock for the last two decades.
It hasn't escaped my attention that this is technically the third single from Forever (even though this particular version of the track isn't on the album) -- yet the second single, "Living Proof" still has no music video...
