Livin’ on a Prayer — Bon Jovi
Pencipta: Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Desmond Child
Penyanyi: Bon Jovi
Tahun rilis: 1986 (album Slippery When Wet)
Filosofi Singkat
“Livin’ on a Prayer” adalah gambaran tentang dua orang yang bertahan hidup dalam tekanan hidup dan kesulitan ekonomi, namun tetap melangkah karena mereka punya satu hal yang tak bisa dibeli: harapan. Lagu ini menunjukkan bahwa kekuatan sejati muncul bukan dari keadaan yang sempurna, tetapi dari keberanian untuk percaya bahwa besok bisa lebih baik meskipun hari ini berat.
Secara filosofis, lagu ini mengajarkan bahwa kadang-kadang kita memang hanya bisa “berdoa” dan terus mencoba, tetapi justru di situlah nilai hidupnya—bertahan, bersama, dan percaya bahwa sedikit harapan saja sudah cukup untuk membuat kita melangkah lagi.
