Watch Bon Jovi keyboardist David Bryan and actress Jeanna de Waal perform 'If' from the upcoming Princess Diana Broadway musical
“This was like, ‘If I had lived, I would have maybe had girls,’ and ‘If I did this, I would have done that,'” Bryan says. “So it’s telling about in the future what I would do. And unfortunately we know there wasn’t a future for her. But the greatest thing the song says is that the future for her was her message, which is empathy and love. Look at Harry and the modern monarchy now; it’s because of what Diana did.
To capture the confusion, Bryan wrote different styles of music for each character. Diana’s songs are in a rock-pop style from the Eighties. Queen Elizabeth’s music sounds more regal, with horns and drums. Charles gets rock songs with strings and orchestrations. Parker Bowles gets what Bryan describes as a “light FM” sound. He made the paparazzi sounds like the Clash.
Figuring all that out was a big part of a very busy 2019 for Bryan, who also recorded a new Bon Jovi album,, that will come out next year. “You just get in there and bash it out and see what happens,” Bryan says of the new Bon Jovi record, which will follow up 2016’s. “That’s what I love about it. It’s the idea of us all being in a room and getting those basic tracks and playing it and feeling it. You can’t substitute that. So it really has a good rock & roll feel. They’re great songs.
