Green Day on Twilight soundtrack

[Alan86]

The end of the verse reminds me of a song in the lion king

The Circle of Life by Elton John??

I thought the exact same thing if it is

Its just a small part though.

[BradGreenDay]

Damn Hollywood Reporter!!!!!!!!

[Sanity Loan]

Nobody knows. Could be any time in the next few weeks.

It's bad enough we're hearing the finale of the trilogy early.

It's bad enough we're hearing the finale of the trilogy early.

Now I have heard part of it, I cannot wait for the full version. But, ultimately, I am really disappointed it will be released ahead of Tre. This may affect the reaction to Tre by fans and critics alike, ie not being blown away by a first hearing of the final track of the trilogy via Tre.

[CocaColaX]

Both DOS! and the Twilight soundtrack are released on the 13th November. Therefore, infallible logic dictates that the lead single of the Twilight soundtrack should be released at the same time as the lead single of DOS!, which is today.

Not that it matters.

When I was checking itunes last night (UK) it said the 6th for the Twilight soundtrack, now today it says the 12th !!!!!!! Arghhh

Now I have heard part of it, I cannot wait for the full version. But, ultimately, I am really disappointed it will be released ahead of Tre. This may affect the reaction to Tre by fans and critics alike, ie not being blown away by a first hearing of the final track of the trilogy via Tre.

Or it may increase the interest in Tre, which is presumably the whole point.

I'm really looking forward to hearing the full version of "The Forgotten," but for now, I am SO happy hearing what we have. What a beautiful, beautiful song - OMG, loving the piano so much and the lyrics are perfect. I can see this being a huge hit.

[DoubleTen95]

It may be a good thing considering how Christina Perri got lots of attention from the previous film. However, I don't want Green Day to get the "wrong" kind of fans if you know what i mean. Either way I'm excited for the new song although I'm not going to bother with seeing the movie. I bet someone will do what they did with the campaign and tape the scene it's in.

[TheJedi]

I was so excited to hear the full version of this >.< hope we get the song soon.. :/

[Schlappy]

So another waiting?? damn, Green Day knows how to make too much hype with their songs, and now more cus of the three albums

Green Day didnt hype this song whatsoever, we did!

[PanicAttack!]

This is a Green Day song I'll prodly pass around to my non-fanatic friends, which is nice in a way.

I guess I'll love it too, and then it'll end up as a love and hate relationship as with 21 Guns.

I hope Zane Lowe gets the first radio play, he's fucking awesome

Kind of awesome, kind of a prick.

I can't decide, guess he is both.

[Soroush]

According to itunes the song is 5 minutes. I'm expecting a stunning guitar or strings solo. so excited about the song

[Sabz]

Kind of awesome, kind of a prick.

I can't decide, guess he is both.

I feel the exact same! Haha, i can never decide :L

[Clayish]

Snippet it is up on iTunes

[Tubbie Head]

I really wanted to save this one as a surprise, for the first listen to iTre!, but I'm not sure if it is possible not to hear it till January... Being a single, and in twilight, I'm sure it's going to be everywhere, radios, tv and so on... So, I think I might have to listen to it early and spoil myself for the last song of the Trilogy But I really don't want to! Listening to Oh Love earlier was a big spoiler for iUno!, it just didn't felt right for me!

WHY ARE LAST SONGS SINGLES!! I feel like I hate singles in general, they should only be released when the album is out, that way they wouldn't spoil anyone

[Dori_Epiphone]

Snippet it is up on iTunes

for like 3 days now

[GuitarPunk94]

i saw the post at GDA about the iTunes preview..i followed the link and saw the preview button...but i was strong, i can resist and wait for TRÉ well i want to hear the song soo bad since you're all fallen in love with it

[Sanity Loan]

According to itunes the song is 5 minutes. I'm expecting a stunning guitar or strings solo. so excited about the song

The string solo is in the iTunes preview. No guitar. It's all piano, drums, and bass.

[Jimmy Strummer]

Is it bad to say that I think this might be the worst song out of the ones we've heard so far?

Okay, hear me out: you got ¡Uno! which is scaling everything back and getting back to the basics of what makes them Green Day. Then you have ¡Dos! which is trying weird things and taking big chances, but not necessarily in the American Idiot/21CB vein. So we're getting a vibe that this is a whole new era for Green Day, no more rock operas, no more concepts, no more grand spectacles. But this song? It's sounds exactly like what they did during American Idiot and 21CB. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but to me, that seems like a big contradiction to me, like they're taking two steps away from 21CB, but then three steps right back into that style. ¡Uno! has wet my appetite for completely refreshed Green Day, not Green Day just stepping back into 21CB territory. Though both American Idiot and 21CB are AMAZING albums, I'm fine with the band wanting to start an entirely new era, but if you wanna start something completely different, you gotta try not to fall back into everything you were doing before the shift, or else you're just contradicting yourself. I mean, some things about ¡Tré! have me kind of excited for it, like how they described "Brutal Love" and "X-Kid," but if the majority of the record is in the same vein as "The Forgotten" and how American Idiot and 21CB were, it might be my least favorite in the trilogy simply because it's not as refreshing or daring as the other two.

But hey, it's only one song out of the whole ¡Tré! album. Maybe it'll surprise me.

I get what you're saying, but I don't see it as a contradiction. We've been shown so much of Uno and Dos, which both have this garage-y rock sound, that to hear another 21stCB style song is a little bit of a "musical whiplash" (as someone one here put it - can't remember who!).

It's like we got so used to the garage rock sound that to all of a sudden hear The Forgotten, it's like "whoa whoa whoa what, where's the garage sound?". I think it'll be one of those situations where we have to hear it in the context of the album to truely judge it.

Yeah, and then no one would buy the albums either

Green Day have said, repeatedly, that Tre was going to have more of an epic feel, in the vein of AI and 21CB. We haven't heard much of it, but we've known for a long time that "The Forgotten" and "Brutal Love" are going to have piano and strings, that "Dirty Rotten Bastards" is going to be a multi-part song like Jesus of Suburbia, Homecoming, and American Eulogy, that it would have politically-flavored songs like "99 Revolutions". So, how, exactly, are they contradicting themselves by delivering precisely what they've promised?

[Heather.]

Uno shouldn't have whet your appetite for back-to-basics Green Day, it was supposed to SATISFY that appetite. Imagine if they had released one record, Uno. Then you would have gotten your fill of awesome 3-minute simple songs. They are following that up with two albums of different styles, which don't showcase their contradicting themselves, rather their incredible range. Maybe if they had released these 3 years apart each, by the time Tre rolled around you'd be ready and waiting for an "epic" AI-style album, but as it stands they're just bestowing us with all the awesome music they've just written, which turned out to be diverse and therefore dividable into 3 separate tomes that are somewhat different genres though all in the Green Day catalogue of style.

And I also think The Forgotten as a song sounds like everything 21CB was trying to be but couldn't be. It's like 21 Guns but better. Whereas the last album (before Uno that is) tried a little too hard to be epic, The Forgotten understands itself as a song.

They're not contradicting themselves - the whole point of the trilogy is for them to be able to indulge in all of the different sounds and styles that make up Green Day. Green Day isn't just one thing or the other - they are still the straight-forward, uptempo pop punk band they were when they started, and ¡Uno! encompasses that vibe. But Green Day is also a band who takes risks and isn't afraid to experiment with different genres and themes - that side is displayed on ¡Dos! But Green Day also has a knack for really powerful, moving, and epic music, as shown on their last two studio albums. ¡Tré! shows that they still have that musical finesse, and that they can still tackle important issues in a more musically complex way.

The trilogy of albums don't contradict each other, but rather show all that Green Day has accomplished and is still capable of. They can capture many different sounds and communicate them meaningfully. This trilogy is like an all-encompassing display of everything that makes Green Day the band they are, all the different styles included.

Another thing to consider is how the albums progress. Maybe The Forgotten seems radically different from what we've heard thus far (primarily from ¡Uno!), but after listening to the 36 songs before it, maybe the concluding song will make more sense given the context and the musical evolution from Nuclear Family all the way to The Forgotten. Kind of like a book - the last chapter often only makes sense after reading everything before it. I think The Forgotten is an incredible song, and Green Day should be proud of it and how far they've come in the last 25 years.
