Exactly. And it’s an okay song but it’s forever going to feel like this tour and this pandemic and a time and a place song. A time and a place I just want to survive.

I basically said I’m looking forward to the footage. The song is ok. And there’s good in some stuff even if it’s not great.

 

Still Breathing reminds me of Rev Rad and the band making their own new album on their terms after a long break (long for Green Day they work so much all the time good lord especially since Rev Rad side and solo projects included). Still Breathing felt very personal but relatable on different levels. Works for the pandemic too… 

I got/understood what you said, it was just how you said it. 
“I can’t wait to see it!” Followed immediately by, “I can’t wait to never hear it again!” Like whaaaat?! 
 

Pollyanna, to me, feels just as personal as Still Breathing and Wake Me Up. It’s all in the context in which you hear it & feel it.

13 hours from now… can’t wait! I’m sure this will be a great video. Very much looking forward to seeing this if there has to be a tour at all. Really hoping for some fun crowd, stage and tour footage. I cannot wait until this is all over and everyone is safe and healthy and not dying from heat exhaustion and whatever else the fuck and nobody ever has to hear this song at a live show again. Pollyanna is like the theme of the shit show that is 2021 and Green Day headlining this tour.

I get that. It's like how I never want to hear WMUWSE again even though it's a good song because it's associated with a time of lots of loss for me. So I can't do it anymore.

As for the video I'm excited but also not because it's most likely going to be a live video and those are kind of boring to me. They're those videos that I watch once and somewhat enjoy but never care to watch them again.

It’s a time and place thing ❤️ something we’re going through and hopefully something we will never have to revisit or go through again ❤️ but for now just trying to make the best of it…

I hope it’s a mix of live and BTS video like the Oakland Coffee clips.  It’s smart that they see the song has some chart potential and if you heard it at the show you’re more likely to check it out with clips from the tour than you are the first video that they’re not in

If it’s like this I’ll be happy

Description under the video:

It's the BEST feeling being out on the road w/ the Hella Mega Tour!! So great, in fact, that we made a vid for Pollyanna ft. some of the best times we've had so far.

Okay I’m happy. Just like Youngblood. That was good. (And of course Billie wants to drive the golf cart haha)

I usually don't like live music videos.  I'd rather watch the x-kid tape or Gosh help me, the sparkly vampire one.

But Pollyanna is so darn good, I don't mind this one. 

Only downside is that I'm not in the crowd because I've missed Green Day in concert the last 16 years.

While the entire planet is up in the air right now, I hope that we at least start hearing talks of a new album in 2022.  Maybe the rumblings early in the year and then an October release. 

Here's to you, Polly.  

The only live video I give a fart about.

Don't let me down.

i honestly think we should see the video as a celebration of the togetherness that live music brings - it goes hand in hand with the essence of the songs meaning. a celebration of being alive - it’s wonderful.

I'm surprised very few people recognized the Sex Pistols' Pretty Vacant guitar intro in the middle part of Pollyanna.

Such a lovely video! I just really love those backstage videos for some reason. I really hope that the European leg of the tour will actually happen, and I will be able to get there
