I think there's a pretty huge Boston influence on this. The "we all die in threes" bit is a total ripoff of More Than A Feeling too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unextraordinarygirl Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I absolutely love this song. I listened to it on the way to work this morning and the lyrics clicked for me. I love the line " Congratulations I found myself, somewhere now." It made me smile and feel hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jonny Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I like when he says "under the sofa pillows". Makes me feel comfortable with slugging around somedays and doing jack shit. This song gets better and better with every listen. The drums are great and that guitar solo gets imbedded in my head for hours. Seems it would work good as an opener.

Kaddi. Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I've given this numerous listens, because everyone seems to love it so much, but I still don't really like it. I think it's kinda boring and I also really dislike that "We all die in threes" line for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is almost a "common joke" kind of thing that all celebrities die in threes. If a celebrity dies, everyone thinks, 2 more to go. I never disliked it, but it was not one of my top on the album, until I learned to play it. It is very simple to play, but musically Billie has done some things he has never done before. I love it when he tries new things. I also think that between this and Forever Now, it brings the album full circle. I'm not where I want to be, I found where I want to be kind of thing. I think that is what Billie was going for considering Somewhere Now starts with the same riff that Forever Now ends with. But, I do like Forever Now better.

Yeah I understand that it gives the album a nice frame together with Forever Now. I just don't really like it as such, it's not a song I like to listen to. Forever Now is way better in my opinion.

That Dude Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Does anyone else hear talking in the background of this song? I could swear I hear someone saying "Jesus" at certain parts of the song. Also, this song runs into the beginning of BANG BANG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Congratulations I found myself (Jesus)" I was thinking more of a Jesus of Suburbia reference than a religious reference. It kind of sounds like that part in "Homecoming" where Tre is going nuts in the background but you can't quite tell what he's saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 ^I can't dispute any of this but the sentence about about Billie's infatuation with suicide. I'm not sure if I see it - not saying it's not there, I just can't think of any examples of him mentioning suicide (except for Uptight and frankly, I'm still not sure what he meant by that song not even after all these years of thinking and "taste for suicidal" in St. Jimmy). It's either never occurred to me or I never properly thought about it. I agree with your interpretation of "we all die in threes" though. It's the only explanation I heard that actually makes sense within the context of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that dying in threes is about celebrities and stuff, but I think that it may also mean (in this song) that actually everybody is dying in threes. Your neighbor dies, then your old friend, then your mother. The next three is all over again the same thing but with different people who are passing away "together". It's the other way how to say our old friend Death is waitnig for all of us. This might sound dumb and maybe I'm the only one or not, but that's what I think of when I hear this particular line and because of this explanation I think it's an amazing line. I love that song.
