Free Bon Jovi Download Post by: Mix Music 30 June, 2009 - 8:19 AM

Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora have thrown their support behind a protest song intended as “a musical message of worldwide solidarity” to the people in Iran in light of that country’s controversial recent election.

The Bon Jovi stars feature in a re-recording of the classic “Stand By Me”, which has been made available as a free download.

In the new recording, also featuring an exiled Iranian superstar named Andy Madadian, Jon sings part of the first verse of the song in the Iranian language of Farsi. At the start of the accompanying YouTube video [see above], he also holds up a sign written in Farsi which translates to “we are one”.

A free MP3 download of the track is available HERE.

The track’s producer, Don Was, explained to Billboard magazine: “It is not for sale. It wasn’t intended to be on the charts, wasn’t meant to be a hit record or even pressed on a CD. It’s intended to be downloaded and shared by the Iranian people. The whole idea was to get it into Iran and tell them to carry on, that the world is watching and we’re with you.”

What do you think of the song and its message?
