Song is "Bed of Roses" by Bon Jovi
Sitting here wasted and wounded
At this old piano
Trying hard to capture
The moment this morning I dont know
cause a bottle of vodka
Is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think shes still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They wont make of me when Im dead
With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While were talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
What you mean to me
And the truth is baby youre all that I need
I want to lay you on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
Well Im so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A kings ransom in dimes Id given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or its hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
Ill just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
The hotel bar hangover whiskeys gone dry
The barkeepers wigs crooked
And shes giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
When you close your eyes
Know Ill be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I wont be alone
But you know that dont
Mean Im not lonely Ive got nothing to prove
For its you that Id die to defend
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses (Less) Video Tags:BeautifulCreationsFriendJodieLoveModificationsModsNobodyknowsOrfayPSPX2RosesVickiVictoriaVictoriaLynn1 Rate it:Rate : Watch hereClose player

Launched earlier this week, Big Think is a site with short video clips of leading thinkers in business and society.
The New York based start-up, founded by former Charlie Rose producers Victoria Brown and Peter Hopkins, has been getting plenty of buzz this week from The New York Times, the Telegraph and TechCrunch.
Victoria stopped by the Beet.TV broadcast center yesterday to talk about the new venture. (You can find the video here.)
The duo has raised a small amount of seed capital from former Harvard President Lawrence Summers, PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and others.
The clips are highly stylized. The producers use a method created by the great documentary maker Errol Morris, known to millions for his Academy Award opening show short film in 2002. Watching the Oscar film, you will see the Big Think look: The subject is in front of white background, looking into the camera. In Morris' approach, interviewees see the interviewer on a TV screen in front of them, but reply to text question displayed before them. The interviewer is not in the room.
For some subjects, this works brilliantly. The interview with United States Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is extraordinary (see below). I would say it is historic in annals of start-up video ventures. (Nice booking, by the way.)
For others who speak extemporaneously into the camera, the results can be flat. The always ebullient Sir Richard Branson might have given a better performance if he was speaking with an interviewer.
The format is similar to the Washington Post's innovative onBeing series with "average" citizens interviewed by an unseen/unheard Jennifer Crandall.
Think Community
But the in-house produced product is not the only component of the offering. Contributions are sought as text photo and videos. Contributions/comments are called "Ideas."
There is an excellent video upload tool for registered users. I uploaded a .MOV file of a Beet.TV clip about the roots of the mortgage crises featuring Dartmouth professor John Vogel, Jr. The upload was fast and simple. The player is fine. How cool is this: My post is prominently displayed in the business and finance channel.
Victoria told me that the site will soon provide a live hook-up for contributors to use a mic and Webcam to generate live feeds from remote contributors around the globe.
Will this crowd really upload video? It may be that the the superstar power of the interviewees will be the attraction for others to to "join the club." Perhaps the scenario will be similar to the HuffingPost.
If Peter and Victoria are successful in generating thoughtful video uploads, they may well have a big success on their hands. Stay tuned to this one.
