St. Jonny Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 They are the go to albums for the broken hearted. That is when they can be truly related to. Tre especially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouncingoffthewallbja Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Before I went to school yesterday, Good Riddance started playing on the radio. As soon as my mom heard it she rolled her eyes at my pitchy singing and fled the room in less than two seconds 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stories and songs Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 34 minutes ago, Scattered Wreck said: Since when do you listen to hubby??? I adore both songs. But, the reason I like Still Breathing better is that for Brutal Love I feel like Billie is being distant. He is saying how hard this love is and he just seems so conflicted. With Still Breathing I feel like he is letting everyone in. Brutal Love pushes us away, Still Breathing lets us in. It feels like he is in a better place with Still Breathing. They're both extremely emotional songs, but different for the reasons you stated. Brutal Love is such a raw song—more than a particular situation, it just evokes feelings. It's about struggle and longing and pain, and it just hits you in your gut. Because of everything surrounding the release of the albums, that song was remarkably difficult to listen to, as much of a masterpiece as it is. That whole period was a weird time for me as a fan, and this song really captures that sense of heartache I felt at the time. But for as emotional as it is, it is still distant, which is how a lot of the trilogy songs feel. Still Breathing—and all of RevRad, for that matter—is beautiful because it's so damn honest. Being honest on purpose. That makes all the difference in the world. Brutal Love hits me in the gut, but Still Breathing puts a lump in my throat. I have always felt that Brutal Love was an absolute masterpiece, and objectively, it still might be my favorite. But everything Still Breathing signifies and the feeling of hope it gives me puts it on a higher level. In Bullet in a Bible, Billie described JOS as being a song that people even couldn't describe as being their favorite, that it was something bigger than that. That's how I feel about Still Breathing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unextraordinarygirl Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 WICA is my go to song. I love it and always come back to it no matter what. The into, the awesome bassline, the lyrics, the whole feeling of the song. To me it's just a perfect song. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instruments still sound a little too polished and thin to me and it feels a bit long but it's so much fun. It makes me want to dance every time. And the way Billie pronounces "darrrrrk" and "parrrrrrk" gives me life. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly the way I feel about SB, too. It feels like a part of me; like this song has always been inside my heart and GD just brought it to life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most I've seen is like 80 or 90 around the announcement of Bang Bang, but I guess that's partly due to living in Europe and being online at (late) afternoon hours in the US. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
