This is my fav song from deluxe. As always, let the song take over my soul and body, and then concentrate on the lyrics message:- [Verse 1] I wanna be your underdog I'm not number one, but I'm second to none Heroes are overrated when you are the outlaw 'Cause I wanna be your underdog [Verse 2] I wanna be your underdog I'm so hideous that I'm beautiful Maybe you're one of a kind, but I'm the chosen one 'Cause I wanna be your underdog [Pre-Chorus] I'd rather live amongst the wild, wildlife Life is too short to be normal I may be ugly, but I'm larger than life I'm not a loser, I'm not a loser [Chorus] I wanna be your underdog I wanna be your underdog I wanna be your underdog I wanna be your underdog [Instrumental Break] [Pre-Chorus] I'd rather live amongst the wild, wildlife Life is too short to be normal I might be ugly, but I'm larger than life I'm not a loser, I'm not a loser [Chorus] I wanna be your underdog I wanna be your underdog I wanna be your underdog I wanna be your underdog I found this interesting online interpretation:- Embracing the Underdog Spirit: A Green Day Anthem Genuine authenticity - Celebrating individuality - Rebellious spirit defiance - Living authentically Green Day's song "Underdog" is a powerful anthem that celebrates the spirit of being an outsider and finding strength in one's uniqueness. The lyrics convey a sense of pride in not conforming to societal norms and embracing one's individuality. The repeated desire to be an "underdog" suggests a preference for authenticity over superficial success, highlighting the value of being true to oneself rather than striving for conventional heroism. The song's protagonist embraces their imperfections, describing themselves as "hideous" yet "beautiful," and "ugly" but "larger than life." This juxtaposition underscores the idea that true beauty and greatness come from within, rather than external appearances. The line "heroes are overrated when you are the outlaw" further emphasizes the rejection of traditional heroism in favor of a more rebellious, unconventional path. This perspective aligns with Green Day's punk rock ethos, which often challenges societal norms and champions individuality. "Underdog" also touches on the theme of living life to the fullest, as expressed in the lines "life is too short to be normal" and "I'd rather live amongst the wild, wildlife." These lyrics encourage listeners to embrace their wild side and reject the mundane, suggesting that true fulfillment comes from embracing one's true nature. The song's energetic and defiant tone reflects Green Day's signature style, combining catchy melodies with thought-provoking lyrics that resonate with those who feel like outsiders in a conformist world.

Saviors (édition de luxe) - Out May 23rd !!
ThranaM replied to GreenDayJunkie86's topic in Green Day Chat
It's said that the new tracks were recorded aroung 6 months ago. The acuostic recordings are the same recordings as the original ones. You can clearly hear that strange change of mix in the vocals at 0:30 in Father to a Son, which also appears in the original track. -
Thought Linkin Park would get it. Not saying they should have, GD should.

Yes!!!!!❤️

Saviors (édition de luxe) - Out May 23rd !!
Insomniac186 replied to GreenDayJunkie86's topic in Green Day Chat
As a nerd that reads the credits, the credits confirm that the non-acoustic tracks are not from the same sessions as the main album. Different recording studio and mixer. However, it doesn't say that the acoustic tracks were recorded elsewhere, so I assume they are from the actual Saviors album sessions. Also, I wonder why is Rob Cavallo not credited with producing Underdog despite being it recorded at the same studio as the other new songs. Maybe the band recorded it before he arrived or after he left? And the credit to Nat Geo is a real head-scratcher. So Damn Juvenile Delinquents and the "Play This Sound For Your Dog" song remain in the vault... Hoping they surface one day eventually. - Yesterday

I’m not sure what you can see on your end but there should be three chats - general, night 1 and night 2. It’s quiet right now (aside from some guy trying to get people to join his stocks and shares group chat lmao) but if there’s more chat in the run up to the shows, the different chats will hopefully come in handy! -
Currently my favorite of the deluxe tracks, it's so fun and I can already tell it's one I'm going to return to any time I'm mad at somebody. I actually really like that the chorus sounds similar to Murder City! I think it's fun and, at least to me, comes off as sort of a reference back to that older song.
