Jon Bon Jovi appears with Tanya Trotter and Michael Trotter Jr. of The War and Treaty in the video of their collaborative song, “The People’s House.”
Bon Jovi and the duo The War and Treaty (husband-and-wife singer-songwriters Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter) have released a video for their collaborative song, “The People’s House.” You can watch it below.
The song is on Bon Jovi’s Forever album, which came out in June, and was released as the album’s third single in August. On it, Jon Bon Jovi and The War and Treaty sing:
This is the people’s house
From sea to shining sea
The rocky mountains built these walls
These halls are our city streets
No wrecking ball is gonna knock it down
Nobody gonna come to steal the keys
This is the people’s house
The house of you and me
Jon Bon Jovi posted on social media yesterday: “The People’s House is a song that celebrates this beautiful place that we call home, from sea to shining sea. … The truth matters. And the truth is on election day I’ll be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because I believe in the power of we, not of me. I’ve written a song reminding us that out of many, we are still one.”
Incidentally, Jon Bon Jovi was filming footage for this video in September, when he helped save a woman who was thinking about jumping off a Nashville bridge.
Here is the video:
Jon Bon Jovi will be featured in “An Evening of Conversation” with Stephen Colbert at the signature event of this year’s Montclair Film Festival. The event will take place at Prudential Hall at NJPAC in Newark, Oct. 26; tickets are available at ticketmaster.com.
