solongfromthestars Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I was trying to work out what some parts of this remind me of slightly, and it's Jinx! Not in a bad or ripped off way at all (I absolutely love it), I just partly expect him to start singing "I'm a curse hanging around you!" at points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Highway Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 The "from the Edge of the world" part may be my favorite hook on the entire album. The part where Billie goes "don't want to think about tomorroh oh oh ohhhhh" is like a close second. Forever now is soooo amazing and cheesy and perfect. It's exactly what I wanted from this album. It's something that feels like a less serious American idiot track that's just as fun. Live this could be a monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark in the night Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I love this song so much. standing on the edge of the world.... FUCK that lines gives me chills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platypus2000 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 The "burning lights and blackouts" line is so fucking awesome, and the guitars come crashing in, the timing of it all is spot on jdgnsdghdgbh I love this song, so god damn good. If I only had to listen to one song from this album over and over it'd be this, love it. I feel like they'll never play it live though unfortunately :// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second favourite son Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 This is by far the most coherent (i.e. Least disjointed) of all Green Day's multi-part songs. It feels like one song with different elements rather than 3 songs squashed together into 1. Not only better than DRB, but also flows better than JOS and Homecoming. Love it!

21st century idiot Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Great closer, took a few listens to get the flow. Love how they integrated somewhere now lyrics. "I ain't gonna stand in line no more" This line felt like it could have easily been at the end of JOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did play "American Eulogy" during 21CB tour....actually, come to think of it, "Dirty Rotten Bastards" is pretty much the only multi-part Green Day song that hasn't been played live, so I'd say that bodes well! Especially if it's Billie's favorite. 13 hours ago, Second favourite son said: This is by far the most coherent (i.e. Least disjointed) of all Green Day's multi-part songs.

Hmmm.....I disagree with regard to JOS and Homecoming, mainly because I feel like that's comparing apples to oranges. Those two tracks are more of extended suites, which, by definition, are made up of a series of distinctly separate movements; whereas Forever Now (along with DRB and, to a lesser extent, 21CB) feel more like rhapsodies imo. e2a: I will say that Billie definitely upped his counterpoint game with this one, though.

PursuitOfEpicness Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 This song is definetely becoming my absolute favorite so catchy, so incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 It's been hard for me to pick a fave off RevRad but right now I have to say it's Forever Now. For some reason when I read the title I thought it would be a slow song, but I was so pleased when those guitars started up and Billie sang "My name is Billie and I'm freaking out" (I thought the line was cute). Though it's not as epic as JoS or Homecoming, it has a similar vibe with everything crashing and culminating at the end. And I love the way everything flows into each other so well. I think GD are really getting better at their longer songs, so I'm pretty pleased with it. I love everything about this song. I just wish this was the final track instead of Ordinary World.

EastCaitNowhere Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I love Forever Now! it feels big and a good closer to the album (it should be the closer; ordinary world should come before imo) especially with the reprise of somewhere now. the good life lyric - i dont need to say much else. its excellent, and easily in my top 3 songs of the album.

(I'm no wordsmith - hope this makes sense!) Yes, that part definitely is goosebumps-inducing. It sort of reminds me of the JoS/American Eulogy medley from AAF. I love it. At first it sounded like a cacophony to me but now I think it's epic. Unlike other long songs, this one feels like one piece of music, not as a number of ideas they put together. The pieces just fit together very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah like didn't Billie say in one of the interviews that some of the Trilogy had been rushed and I feel like DRB must've been one of those songs - just not quite perfect. But Forever Now seems "perfect". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark in the night Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I like these repeating chant-like lyrics that they've been doing on the past few albums Home, we're coming home again I don't wanna live in the modern world I ain't gonna stand in line no more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deletethisaccount Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I love how low and deep his voice descends as he says "burning lights and blackouts". Reminds me of "well I know I'm not alright" in Stuck with me which destroys me every time. This song just progressively gets better and better. I love how the drums in the middle are kinda uncommon for green day but they work. And the ending is perfect. It's fun to jump along to. I can picture a whole crowd doing it. Definitely one of my favorites on the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is tho Billie comes to terms with things at the end of Forever Now when Somewhere Now reprises where at first life was dull and now in Forever Now he finds life full and Ordinary World is him coming to terms and at peace with it least that's the way I see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Anyone else spotted the references in this? "My name is Bille and I'm freaking out" seems like a reference to We're Not Gonna Take It by The Who, "My name is Tommy and I became aware this year," and "I never learned to read or write so well, but I can play the guitar until it hurts like hell," is a total lift from Johnny B. Goode - "Who never ever learned to read or write so well, but he could play the guitar just like ringing a bell." My name is Tommy and I'm freaking out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
