AmyxLongview Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Seems like this is the most disliked song of 3 songs released so far. I guess I kind of understand why; it doesn't really sound like much of their other stuff. I still like it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PursuitOfEpicness Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 At first I totally got the ew this is kind of poppy feel but when I kept listening it felt so raw and honest. It's a great song and I think it would do well on the radio but I definetely don't think when they made it was the intention they had. I would have to say Bang Bang is still my favorite then this then Revolution Radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksCoEric Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Wow. This is very different from bang bang. I was honestly scared when i saw people writing about how it is too poppy. Even though i think it might be slightly too poppy, I dont really have a problem with it and i do really like the emotion in the song. Not what i expected but i think this is a really uplifting track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGLWW Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I mean I haven't heard it yet, but this almost feels like a compilation album or something that highlights all of the sounds of their career. Seems like it has really bad flow. I mean I really don't even get how Rev Radio works right after Bang Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostCanadianGoose Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It takes a lot for me to cry. This song is the first time I've ever cried to a song on the first listen. This song is so powerful that I can't help but say that it's one of my favorite songs they've ever put out already. As soon as Billie uttered the first two lines I knew I was about to be hit hard. He eloquently wrapped 8 different people's lives (including his) into one song. Like many people on here who fell in love with Green Day, it happened to me because listening to their music gave me the feeling that we're not alone. It's ok to be fucked up and everyone is in some way. So many people are good at hiding that or containing that and I wasn't one of those people. I've been through a lot of shit growing up and last year I was probably in the biggest rut I've ever been in. I kept fighting through depression and it wasn't until 5-6 months ago that I've been the happiest I've ever. I still have a fair share of problems to work through but I've never let them win. I'm still breathing and my head's above the rain and roses. What a fucking beautiful song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewW91 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 On my first two listens, I agreed with everyone who disliked it. Upon my third listen, it started to grow on me. I quite like it now. To me, it's better than Revolution Radio, but Bang Bang is still my favorite song released so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still diggin the verse, the chorus as well as the bridge are okay but nothing too special The lyrics are great and I love that there's a different feel to this song. The Co-writer thing kind of takes down my enthusiasm because not knowing what is Billies content freaks me out. What I am missing in this song are some personality and some spicy guitar bits or some different instruments. This song still might grow on me so let's see. I'd say it's a 6.5/10 I wouldn't worry about that. Waiting and Brutal Love have other co-writer credits only because Billie borrowed a little melody from other songs. I would be super surprised if someone literally co-wrote the song with him, sounds like it's all him to me. 28 minutes ago, dolce_amore93 said: It TOTALLY has BOBD vibes to me. I get that too.

disappearing_boy_39 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 This song is poppy but Green Day has been writing pop songs since the beginning. Songs like No One Knows, Good Riddance, Macy's Day, Wake Me Up, Stay the Night, and Stray Heart all have either been big radio hits or at least sound like they could have been. I like this song. My only problem with it is that it, IMO, it isn't as interesting as the other tracks I mentioned. Also, I consider myself an older fan since I've been listening for around 21 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Personally love it, different but so good. The pop vibe actually just makes it something unique. It's the first song of the four we've heard that actually gave me goosebumps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
