Get it sorted on Apple Music FFS man

I want hi-res lossless audio for this next listen.

I haven't got fucking expensive headphones to listen to no lossy YouTube upload 

Sorry thought you said “got”

Losing my mind

Woah, this song and especially the video is so brave. It must be SO hard to deal with your problems in such an open, honest way. It must feel like standing naked in a crowded room. Still Breathing had a very similar spirit to me, but it was more a retrospective - looking back on hard times from a different perspective. This new one is like he's allowing people to have a look into a struggle that is still real, still there. I LOVE THE SONG!

What is more possible? 
dookielukie liking a new green day song or billie joe becoming a donald trump fan? 😅 

this song is the best they released since american idiot. 

Except I’ve liked every song so far and praised the first two singles. I like this too but I can also not like parts of it.

Do we know that they happened or just speculation?

I’m not trying to be nosey on personal life stuff - but damn that makes the music video all the more heavy with this song if that’s how deep it was at somepoint. 

This is not a strange night for any hard parties

Apple c‘mon 😡

I like how the video portrays the good and bad sides of drinking. Lots of fun while it’s happening but kind of ruining the fun of you go too hard.

I see only fun!

Hope we get back drunk Billie one day.

The video gives me lyrical Jesus of Suburbia vibes.   Someone else's cocaine, check.  Alcohol - check.   At first I thought "this is a bad influence" then then I got all teary eyed as I saw myself in dive bars and gnarly music venues probably being more annoying than drunk Billie.     Wow.  An honest, teachable look at how the party can go wrong.    Or a different perspective -  you only live once - fall into Tre Cool drum kit.

Tidal lists Butch Walker as an “Additional Engineer” on the track.

I don’t care who engineers, it could be a version of it was a demo that he tracked for them too. Mixing and production is where you’ll hear someone’s touch on it. I know you know this, I’m just stating to anyone who doesn’t 🤘🏻

Drunk Billie ruined the release of two albums, postponed a tour, had a public breakdown and went to rehab.  Nobody should "want" that back

After having that public breakdown at the end of the Trilogy and going to rehab and stuff, I really admire everything you're bringing up in this post. It's honest and open and catchy and succinct without coming across as cheap. It's what gives the song such a strong backbone -- it's like a hug from a friend who knows you know what's wrong. Like so many of us who struggle with addiction, I've grown up with Green Day, so this song is a very comforting thing in a not so comforting time of my life haha.

They probably tracked the demo with him before realising it sounded like 3 middle aged men making boomer garage rock knock offs with extra hand claps and decided to give it to daddy Rob Cavallo to make it into a fucking absolute HEATER.

The dilemma is clear, yet up for interpretation.   Billie wants to enjoy life, but alcohol and drugs have some real negative consequence.   Does he indulge, can he do so in moderation?   Are us idiots encouraging him to do so?    

I had a famous person buy my some liquor the other night and I wondered....what if I had a drinking problem, and (redacted) didn't know?     The lesson is this:  silver tequila is tasty!

Good song! I initially set my alarm so I could listen as soon as it came out but I woke up around 730 and turned it off and decided to go back to bed... Then at like 9:07 my cat woke me up, I guess Smithers is a bigger Green Day fan than me cuz he really wanted to hear it! 😂

Also, the "dead man walking" line continues the zombie theme lol

[JardyOfSuburbia]

Anyone else think of the Uno album cover on that first shot of the partying or was it just me?

[That Dude]

Forgive him, he was rushing this morning:

I really don't understand why this wasn't the lead single. It sounds like a hit and its lyrics are buzzworthy (no pun intended) because it's so personal. I think this would've made a bigger impact when it came to the comeback song.

Beautifully said. This video is so raw and painfully honest. It takes a crazy amount of courage to be like “honestly, this is something I always want deep down and my addiction tells me is fun, but the reality is I end up feeling awful and look like a disaster to everyone around me.” 

Still Breathing was also really personal and was probably humbling, but it’s more removed from the situation than this is.

My favourite out of the 3. But not the best single since AI tho.
