This is my acoustic cover of "You give love a bad name" by Bon Jovi. I played it using fingerstyle technique on a handmade classical guitar, that was built by my dad. I also added some vocal harmonies. Audio recording and mixing was done in Cubase 12. The cinematic video for this acoustic cover of "You give love a bad name" was shot on LUMIX S5 camera (V-log, C4K 10 bit 4:2:2) using Lumix S 85mm & 35mm f/1.8 lens and Black Mist Filter 1/8. During filming I used hazer to create a bit softer look. Video was edited and color graded in Davinci Resolve 18.6.

Lyrics:

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
Darlin', you give love a bad name

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me Heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free

Oh, you're a loaded gun, yeah
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name (bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (bad name)
You give love, a bad name

Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A schoolboy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

Whoa, you're a loaded gun
Whoa, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name (bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
Darlin' you give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love (whoooo)
You give love (whoooo)
You give love (whoooo)
You give love (whoooo)
You give love a bad name (bad name)
