Seanz25 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Can’t get out of my mind how much it sounds like a Fountains of Wayne song. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miko Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Definitely worst song in the album. It gives me too much classic finnish rock vibes and even if I could ignore that, song simply isn't just great with mediocre chorus and whole ''Ba, ba-da-da, ba-ba-ba-da-da-da-da'' sequence sounds incredibly cliché and annoying instead of sweet and beautiful that it was going for. Lyrics are okay, but that's it. Disappointing song when every other track is a banger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Grohl Posted January 19 Popular Post Share Posted January 19 Nah I like this one a lot. I love those harmonies during the bridge. Takes the song to another level for me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jengd Posted January 19 Popular Post Share Posted January 19 Sounds liked the Beach Boys and the Beatles through the Green Day blender. 😂 it is sweet and melodic, a moments calm. I like the ba ba da da’s, Tre is smashing it. Feels very 60’s to me, especially the ending. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to search for some finnish rock then because I love this song a lot haha 🥰 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just listened to the album for the first time and instantly logged in to say exactly this. It's remarkable how much it sounds like it came straight off one of the latter FoW albums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiesblue Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 ^^^ saame. I got teary eyed when I got to this song. It's pretty much been on repeat since last night!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stories and songs Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 This seems to be the one a lot of people don’t love, and I get it seems a little unexciting next to some of the other songs, but it kinda hit me emotionally on first listen. The guitar in the beginning is pretty and melancholic, and I love some of the lyrics: Did we get over our innocence? Did we take the time to make amends? Will you dedicate a song to me? Do you want me to just go away I just want to be your nobody Is there any chance that I can stay? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenalert997x Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 My favorite song off Saviors! Echoing Beatles and Beach Boys; generally surf rock of the 70s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post solongfromthestars Posted January 20 Popular Post Share Posted January 20 Best song on the album. I saw the lyrics a few days before it came out and even without the music they were a gut punch. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJennsitized Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 This album has no skips for me but this ranks near the bottom for me. Not enough interesting moments for me to make it a standout. Oddly enough I keep expecting to hear a cowbell in this one because it reminds me a little bit of Don’t Fear The Reaper 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hermione Posted January 20 Popular Post Share Posted January 20 This could be my favourite! Absolutely beautiful and instantly made me think of the Beatles, I love how it builds up to the pretty "ba da da da da" part haha 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Suzie Katayama is the orchestra contractor for the record. Coincidence? This is another way the record reminds me of Weezer, who sang about Suzie Shinn on one of their latest records. Haha. Lyrically, it's probably about one of Billie's ex's or wanna be/imagined love interests, but these real people could have inspired the name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Stacy Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I also hear some Belle and Sebastian in there too. I think this one wins the ‘Earworm of the album’ award 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
