Still not listened to Still Breathing as I'm waiting for it to drop officially, are the two songs very similar or is the credit literally just there to avoid a lawsuit? It's sort of similar, I think it just has a similar overall sound as a song, the only thing is the build up to the chorus but I think it' mostly to avid a lawsuit.

You soft bunch fair play I did, since the original post which I'd hidden was quoted in there so everyone could see it anyway It was nothing you did! Yeah, just a reminder not to ask for or share download links for the song please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Higher Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I like the song. The lyrics are great but the music is maybe too generic sometimes. Still one good track though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not real similar in my opinion, but the first few lines of Still Breathing reminded me of The Struts song immediately. I definitely see why they had to give credit. If you love the beginning/first verse, you'll probably love Still Breathing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 7 minutes ago, Second favourite son said: The co-writing credit is because Green Day have 'sampled' a song that these guys have written (heard & liked the song, so taken a key element (most likely melody) and then written their own song around it. It's a legal requirement under copyright law that the original source of inspiration is properly credited, otherwise it could go to a court case (think blurred lines) and the original writers could be entitled to up to 100% of the revenue from Green Day's song, even though, for all intents and purposes, it is very much personal to Green Day and original in its own right. The 'co-writers' have likely never met the band, let alone written it together, but it's only right that they receive credit for their role in inspiring the song. Green Day has written like this many times before (Brutal Love, Waiting etc.). Thanks for clarifying this. Also for those of you who may or may not have thought I was accusing the band of selling out, it may have been the way I worded it but that was not my intention. I was just saying that as far as music goes it sounds like was made to be a radio friendly song which is going to be catchy to most people and stay inside their heads. This does not have to be a negative thing. If there was a time Green Day ever sold out it was in the Dookie days for signing onto a major label, but in my opinion the music stayed true to the band's style and they were only trying to reach out to more people.

Somewhere now/say goodbye/still breathing and forever now are just so generic. I spent the last 3 hours thinking this was the opening track. I bet you judge books by their cover only joking they are pretty generic song names, thankfully I do still like the songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The melody of the Still Breathing's main verses is a sample of the first verse of the Struts' song (honestly I can't say if it is something intentional or not), nothing less, nothing more. For sure nothing to be sad, SB is much more than just that melody, and in my opinion a much better song than "Could have been me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarPunk94 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 this song rules! i dont understand why some people dislike it, it is indeed different, nothing like revrad or bang bang, but its still GD and I'm sure this song will reach even non-GD listeners again if they promote it well enough its one of billies most emotional songs / has a very emotional meaning, and I guess many people will refer to it it gets kinda repetitive in the end, but its a simple song, so im fine with this, we still got 11 other songs with revrad after the first listen I would rate this song a 8.5 / 10 Edit: the song is available in german spotify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digoco Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I think it has a 21 Guns vibe. This will be the song that will conect all kind of Green Day fans during shows. And the way Billie sings... he's really feeling it. RevRad is turning awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonArk Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 1 hour ago, BronniIsGod said: I just think that saying the song is good just because it has the bare minimum a song really needs, is quite ridiculous. Just by looking at your Death Grips profile picture I can tell we have differing opinions on what qualifies as "real" instruments/music. I'll admit, I'm not a musical guru or anything, but I really believe this topic relies on a person's subjective point of view. Whatever the case may be, you gotta admit a punk/alternative band not using "real"/typical instruments (bass, guitar and drums) would be pretty odd. Yeah, I imagine we do. Like how I don't think there's such a thing as "real" and "not real" instruments/music, because that concept doesn't make any sense on any conceivable level. It just comes off as incredibly dismissive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
