Thatsername Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 I need "Hold the truth and leave the rest as not for real" on a t-shirt
Bakabanas Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Billie is threatening me to not let him down. I can't do this, I know I will let him and many people down. Why couldn't he just have sung to "I don't care if you let me down, everything's gonna be alright"? This is such an obligation. OK human, I'll try.
Little Boy Named Booze Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 I'm the worst whistler in the world. So everytime the song ends I'm like
Insomniac1984 Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 Yup. I liked this song!! So much better than HCTS, period!!
Minority103 Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 Love it love it love it!!! Gave me thrills and the art work made me hungry 😂😂 Loved the fact that it’s super optimistic and full of meaning I also made an Instagram filter with the art work but without the BRATWURST ahahah so you can make your own art work with different dishes, or just use it as you like: https://bit.ly/3vdqOQM
That Dude Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 For the guitarists on GDA. There's a few version out there, but this one sounds best for my guitar and I. While I'm playing this on acoustic, I can't help but think this would have been a better song if it were acoustic. Hmmm. Time to pull out the electric guitars and see what's up. https://guitartwitt.com/green-day-pollyanna-chords/
AmyxLongview Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 I agree with everyone saying it's kind of bland and samey. After my first listen I had forgotten what it sounded like and there really weren't any melodies that stuck with me. There is no signature "Green Day punch" to this song. Meh.

Meh. its a grower you need to listen the song more, its a great song!
Slave To The Network Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 Am I a bad fan then? I've only listened to it once so far. 😅
KGLWW Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 I didn't mind it the first time, then I hated it but now it has grown on me some. I think the song itself is pretty good, but not crazy about the vocal. Kinda like a generic version of the long shot, but it's a decent listen every now and then
龑美優 Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 I loved this song upon first listen and after many more, I still think that it is fantastic. I don't find it bland or boring. I think that it is a solid and catchy song. It is everything it needs to be, nothing more, nothing less.
DookieLukie Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 Warming up to the verses but the chorus is just so flat and bland.
Penguin Puffball Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 Bland (and dare I say cliche) it may be, but this thing bops. It's so happy! We all need some positivity in our lives every now and then.

Not to show off my #1 Fan card or anything, but I'VE never let Billie down. I did let Tre Cool down once, but under the circumstances I just don't see what I could have done differently. Mike never really asks for anything, so all good there. The Network, however. I'm always letting those guys down. On purpose. Screw those guys.
That Dude Posted May 24, 2021 Posted May 24, 2021 Perhaps there will be a gnarley song to balance things out. Don't wanna be a pollyanna idiot. I'm just the son of rage Losing everyone around me I'm suffocating instead of still breathing and it wasn't Jimmy who pulled the trigger / it was me Nobody likes you / or me and we're all nimrods From the middle east to the moon and back There's no hope / and no slack Vanny and Tunny said all is lost for now / but their inside their own coffins and the universe is burning and lost. Kerplow! You're either dead or dying / nothing left to try or believe and / Light you f-ing money and positions on fire / then put yourself on the funeral pyre. Yes. Dark Green Day sounds good.

The Grohl Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 All right, after listening to the song a whopping two times, I can say I like it, but it's nothing amazing. As others have said, it's kind of bland and generic, but it's pretty catchy and miles better than HCTS. out of the two songs, this is the one I want to hear again. And as cliche as the overall message is, I really love it. Coming out of a pandemic and with everyone struggling, it's an uplifting message we need to hear right now. Listening to it makes my heart feel warm ^_^ I just love how positive and upbeat it is. I think it'll grow on me over time. And while it's nothing phenomenal - it doesn't hit me like any of their other songs - it made me happy. Not only is it positive, it felt like a much needed gift from the boys. And for the small group of friends who have been keeping count, yes the song premiered when I was hanging out with my bf He's a keeper. Confirmed.

Since both singles have the same GREEN DAY logo, I hope we get a new album soon!
GodzillaREMIX Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 Pretty good track. After a few spins I get a bit of a throwback "Poprocks and Coke" vibe. Catchy, optimistic and fun song...

michael1989 Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 Billie Joe (2019) - Everyone’s trying to write the feel good song of the year. Rock music is supposed to make you feel bad. Billie Joe (2021) - Everything’s gonna be alright!
Cali89 Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 I just got my 2nd covid vaccine shot and blasted this song in my car on the drive home
