WhiteTim Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 So I know the chorus for Happiness is How lonely is your lonely How lonely is your lonely How alone is your restlessness See you when the war is over Someday when hell freezes over How unhappy is your happiness but I’m hearing for the last part at the end as how loney is your lonely how lovely is your lonely how alone is your restlessness am I tripping on that?

Doggins Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 It's new to me does anyone know where the YouTube version of The Devil's Kind comes from? Sounds like it's been encoded to a very shitty low bitrate for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'll give you all my blood until that becomes useless because I'm clean now" I don’t think this song is about rehab at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Soul Surrender is the one song I’m having a hard time connecting with. The melody doesn’t stay in my head, it has a country twang I don’t like and I’m not sure what the song is about. Love the whole album but this is the only one giving me trouble. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear it too, but it's really hard to tell what he is saying. the "someday when hell freezes over" sounds like "someday when all this is over" to me. I personally think we're hearing every word to every song incorrectly. We need a physical cd that has better transcribing in the lyric booklet than Green Day records do. lol. I love that they always include them, but a lot of lines don't add up to what Billie is saying. There's got to be transcribing program or website that could listen to the songs and give us 100 percent accurate lyrics, right? If not, just remember - When the hope comes, I am a go. Has anyone listened to this record backwards yet? I bet all questions will be answered if we do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's really catchy and its probably the only song where I think both the chorus and the verses are highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to give you my idea of what "Soul Surrender" is about but......like the rest of the album, there just aren't any answers. Is this album happy, sad, angry.....It's hard to say. Maybe Billie is so sick of hearing about concepts and themes that this is his rebellion - non-sequitur lyrics that literally tell no story at all. Haha. Can anyone take a stab at song meanings, because I'm usually building concepts out of every green day song, but with The Longshot......I'm scratching my head. I love the songs, love the lyrics.....they just seem to be describing how he feels inside without anything really happening. It's weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan86 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 There is also a difference between Green Day who have a huge back catalogue and an new side band that have one album. The longshot have an album worth of songs so they can play their entire catalog plus a few extras. A Green Day show demands the hits be played, not by the big fans but by the casual fan. 1 hour ago, DookieLukie said: That's what I was implying...but that might upset this whole forum.

The closest he’s come when he replied to a comment on the Longshot account. He said there is a “rainy day sadness” that runs through all of the songs. I’d say these songs relate to the issues that nag at Billie and cause him anxiety/sadness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainy day sadness is the perfect description. It's like the songs sounding upbeat and jolly are symbolic of the world churning along and not caring that you're looking for a bump and a wall to call your own because screw you! It is a sad album I guess, with "Cult Hero" being the most optimistic of the bunch. Due to the triumphant sound of "Kill Your Friends" I thought it might be too, but oh my goodness it's twisted. he's killing his family and himself so they can go to heaven and party in a morgue, possibly as zombies. ????? Getting thoughts and prayers is the slightest touch of politics The Longshot have. Wow. Now I'm thinking it's an album about a Zombie Outbreak. Hmm. Body Bag. Yeah.

pacejunkie punk Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 In Cuatro he talked about how difficult it is to be playing all new songs live when people don’t know them well yet and here he is doing it again and while we’re still trying to get to know the new ones he goes and dumps 11 new demos on us including more new songs. He’s brave and manic. This is a lot to take in at once but I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
