Once upon a time, not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day, working for her man
She brings home her pay, for love, mmm, for love
She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot"
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Tommy's got his six string in hock, now he's holding in
When he used to make it talk so tough, ooh, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
"Baby, it's okay, someday"
We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
Oh, we've gotta hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh

[@marcalhanaty4636]

Close your eyes, and you would swear it was Bon Jovi! Dude, I’m convinced you could be the lead singer for any Band!! Bravo!!!

[@janbgely1546]

Yup .. amazing !!! My first thoughts was that he should be the leadsinger of Purpendicular (Deep Purple cover band with Ian Paice on drums) ...

[@carolsoldi-hall2734]

The first time I heard him sing, I thought his voice was very reminiscent of jon bon jovi! This song certainly puts that on display!

[@heifisch666]

He´s really a great singer, but he doesn´t sounds like Jon

[@hollyhaynes9496]

As the BIGGEST Bon Jovi fan EVER and I mean EVER, I do not like anyone singing Jon's songs but I have to say I am mesmerized truly by this, Erik you have been given a golden voice that can go where ever you take it man. I hope you are the rock leader of our favorite songs in heaven !!!!!

❤️

[@jorikpupper460]

[@vladimira2046]

Erik sing super🎉

[@kristophermartel447]

Love it. This guy's got it!

[@anaquintas-hk3mg]

THE best

[@user-AnthonyLaMorgese]

There’s a reason you beat cancer bro. And that’s so you can sing unbelievable songs like this. You were born to do this and I’m so glad that I can witness your greatness. I wish nothing but the best for you 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much!

[@didierdanjour6231]

Beaucoup de talent bravo cher Monsieur !!! Bonne continuation à vous from France.

[@EM-cs3lb]

When was he diagnosed with cancer?

[@EbbeHenrysson]

@@EM-cs3lbhe was diagnosed with cancer in 2021

[@Roberto-ld7sg]

Erik is THE BEST FRONTMAN in hard rock in the last 20 years. H.E.A.T. made their best records with him and Skid Row has been reborn because of him and his amazing voice and live performances. Keep on rockin' Erik!!

Appreciate that Roberto, thank you!

[@fatcattn1]

Best frontman is correct. Just saw him for the first time in Paducah last night and was blown away. Full intensity start to finish. Great with the audience flirt. Serious talent.

[@jarpiasesina]

No entiendo mucho inglés pero veo que te ha gustado mi comentario .....y no es para menos .....cantas muy bien, y hay que apoyar a esos talentos "escondidos"....que la sociedad no ve.... En lo personal me ha gustado mucho tu trabajo

[@victoriasutton8340]

True

[@MSLauri23]

100% agree. He slays every song with killer performances and an absolutely mesmerizing voice. Rock on indeed, Erik, rock on!!

[@joemanhas8098]

Erik is capable of stepping for any big name singer of any top 80's band... Imagine every big band is thinking if anything happens to our singer there is only one replacement

Haha thank you Joe!

[@PetroRialex]

OMG you killed it. Bon jovi had never hit the high notes on his live shows. He turned his mic to the audience. You are phenomenal 🤟

[@collincoutinho]

That's so unfair.. without a doubt this is the BEST version of this Classic..

[@sebastiensourzat6378]

The best singer of the moment in Rock, incredible talent!

[@conniepresley5520]

The best cover I’ve ever heard, ever thought I’d hear of Bon Jovi EVER!!

[@VioletJoy]

Besides all of the obvious things to love about Eric's voice, I really appreciate how he clearly enunciates every single word!!!!

[@RobertoRodriguez-bt4go]

Muy buena versión viejo!

[@mauriciosangari3251]

Even better than Bon Jovi himself, I'd say

[@VioletJoy]

@@mauriciosangari3251 They're both amazing in their own way.

[@rubenfrisk8043]

Erik du kan vara den bästa hårdrockssångaren som någonsin har funnits. Låter kanske för stort men det är det inte, du kan ta vilken jävla låt som helst och göra den minst lika bra som orginallet, helt jävla otroligt!

Haha wooooow! Tack!

[@katiebrandt9844]

I have tears in my eyes and my jaw is on the floor. I have the same feelings I did when I was 6 years old and hearing this song for the first time. This was perfection!!

Thanks Katie!

[@ДенисКрылов-е7ч]

Класс!!! Это то, чего не хватает! Erik,спасибо! Музыка, Качество, полная отдача!!! Звучит очень мощно!!! Спасибо!!! Поём вместе!!!

[@justincrum16]

He is amazing! I swear he can sing anything and everything!

[@michaeldoucette7053]

I am so surprised that Erik hasn't been discovered. He has an amazing voice. It's been a pleasure listening to his cover songs. In some cases they are better then the original. Keep producing more songs.... Thank you

[@danamohammed9831]

He has been. He won Idol Sweden. Went on to join Skid Row. Google his name. It is amazing

[@pechinma]

not discovered? he was the singer of skid row.. replacing sebastian bach is pretty big. eric quit due to leukemia

[@patlydeval2453]

This is insane ! 😲 I thought no one, except Jon Bon Jovi, would ever be able to sing this song like it should be. I really didn't expect that. It's phenomenal ! 💖💖💖

I thought about it 10 years ago, I've said it several times over these years, and I still confirm it... you are the best voice of the past 25-30 years (in this genre, but maybe even in others). Charisma, timbre, range, and if you're also likeable... you have it all!!! Keep making us dream, Erik!! Rock on 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Thank you so much

[@glimmefors1]

I'm so proud of this guy! Amazing voice! When he auditioned for Swedish Idol one of the jury member told him that he would trade his right arm for his voice. I would do the same. GO Erik!
