After a few listens, it sounds like someone struggling with understanding their faith. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Heh, the lyric video has a typo: “Aboslute” Cool song, I’ve never heard this. Appropriate of course 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that’s possible. Maybe it’s about a conflict between how they experience faith and how religion is presented? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it sounds like being promised salvation if you follow all these rules and everyone buys into it but the person is thinking of their sins and hoping that it’s true and they get redemption someday. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I am definitely going to burn a cd with all these together. Because it's Billie, I'll probably waste a bunch of CDs by burning a new one each week. I Think we're Alone Now Manic Monday You Can't Put your Arms Around a Memory Corpus Christi and maybe the acoustic performances as well. BILLIE JOE 2020! Mostly female fronted bands, NICE!

jengd Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Wow, was not expecting that, he never fails to take us b surprise does he. I like it but it needs more listens and I too can’t decide what the message is but again, good job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I'd be happier if it was anti-religion, which I guess it can be interpreted that way because of the sheep part? The Avengers are a secular band, so I'm assuming it's not pro religion. Weren't they a part of the Gilman Street scene when GD was first starting? Superb cover, though! Billie sounded absolutely fantastic! He just keeps getting better and better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyza Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I could listen to it finally lol I think it's very good when Billie shared this song, I didn't like the original version that much but I'll keep listening to his cover. Btw, I try to upload all the covers on SoundCloud to I can listen to them easily, wanted to share if anyone interested but 'I Think We're Alone Now' gets copyright warning, couldn't get why cause I uploaded before and deleted it to reupload in higher quality then it happened but I added a different upload to that playlist anyway 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie also did a song with Penelope Houston (lead singer of the Avengers) in the 90s that was on an episode of Friends. The Avengers were talked about a lot in the book Gimme Something Better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Todd Posted April 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2020 I like how Billie's surprising us every week. These aren't covers that he's done before with the Longshot or the Coverups. They're not even bands that he's covered before, with the exception of Johnny Thunders. This really is completely new material for us and I'm really enjoying it. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Great cover. I know this is one of Billie's fave songs - he must have posted it on his Instagram three or four times already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Digging into the discographies of the original artists and oh man, Billie has some amazing taste. I probably won't be going TOO deep with the Bangles, but they've got a handful of songs that everyone has heard and are pretty good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 He should cover a more "meme" song for visibility like Weezer did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
