Bon Jovi - Lay Your Hands On Me


Bon Jovi - Lay Your Hands On Me - Meaning of the song


This was written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora in the studio while the band were recording the New Jersey album. Though the pair usually start off with a song title, in this instance it originated from Sambora's guitar riff.


Dolly Parton covered the song as a gospel tune on her 2014 studio album Blue Smoke. She recalled:

"I called Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora personally, and the three of us got together. They gave me their thoughts, and it was gonna be a big surprise to everyone. I heard it years ago and thought that it sounded so gospel!"

"I always loved the song, but the first time I heart it - because I grew up in a Pentecostal church, where people believed in healing hands and laying your hands on someone - I just thought, 'Wow, that would make a fantastic gospel song.' Jon wrote a real nice note that he loved the way it turned out."
