ong information

Running six minutes, it is a song about everlasting friendship and loyalty, and seems to have been inspired by Jon Bon Jovi's childhood friendships, as he even mentions himself as one of the three friends in the song ("Bobby's an uptown lawyer, Danny's a medicine man, and Me, I'm just the singer in a long-haired rock 'n' roll band").

The song is actually inspired by the 1986 movie, "Stand by Me", which Jon explains on the DVD "This Left Feels Right Live". Jon watched the movie, and was so inspired by the story, he collaborated with Richie Sambora and Desmond Child to write this classic. The movie's theme is the same as to what is echoed in "Blood on Blood": The friends you have when you are younger, you will call friends until the day you die.

Music video

It wasn't released as an official single, however there is a video for the song, which is found on the VHS tape "", which is currently no longer manufactured. The music video is black-and-white and features the band performing live in concert on their grueling Jersey Syndicate Tour.

Legacy

A popular song among fans, it continues to see regular rotation into Bon Jovi's setlists, and was featured prominently in many encores on Bon Jovi's recent Have a Nice Day Tour and Lost Highway Tour.
