Always — Bon Jovi

  • Pencipta & penyanyi: Jon Bon Jovi (bersama Richie Sambora & Desmond Child)

  • Tahun rilis: 1994 (singel dari album Cross Road)

Filosofi Singkat

Lagu ini adalah luapan emosi dari seseorang yang mencintai begitu dalam, hingga ke titik di mana kehilangan tak lagi hanya soal kata-perpisahan, tapi soal penyesalan yang tak terucap. “Always” menggambarkan janji yang tak bisa dipenuhi, dan rasa yang terus hidup meski cinta telah berubah wujudnya.
Secara filosofis, lagu ini mengingatkan bahwa cinta sejati terkadang bukan tentang kebersamaan tanpa akhir, tapi tentang bagaimana kita tetap memegang rasa dan kenangan dengan penuh kejujuran—bahwa menyayangi bukan hanya saat “ada”, tapi juga saat “hilang”.
