Sarahnade. Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Who else shit their pants when the lights in the arena went out and this song came on?Oh, God. I definetly did.I agree with the other posts. I think this is the best song to start off 21CB. I love how there is no music, just static, and Billie Joe's flowing voice. The lyrics are beautiful and simple, and they work with the simplicity of the music so well. And I love how it ends, and 21CB just pounds in; it's so powerful, and really, really amazing.
jose armstrong Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Who else shit their pants when the lights in the arena went out and this song came on?me, definitely
Dookie93 Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 I love this song, it's been stuck in my head all summer long
mechanical_man Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I absolutely love this intro. When I first heard it before the album was released I was like of like "What is this garbage?!" but now that I've heard the whole album together, it is definitely fantastic. Although, for a while it and American Eulogy had the same number of plays and were right next to each other on my iTunes, so I always got confused as to which one I was listening to when it first started.
BillieJoe727 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I think this is a perfect way to start out a cd... love this song
steelthorne Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 just an intro to the album, coming over the radio
Reject All American Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 "Song of the Century" has got to be one of the best on the album, ironically, considering most people don't consider it a song. But from the moment I heard the words "Sing us the song of the century...." on Green Day's website, I knew I would love it, and I do.
St. Jocelyn Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 i love billie joes voice in this song!!!!!
janispunk17bj Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 this is the most amazing introduction song that I've ever heard!!! I love it....is perfect....
Metanoia Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 i think it's such a sweet beginning for an album <3 love billie's voice in it <3
dolce Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 It's the perfect introduction to the album. I especially like the line "They're singing the song of the century..." because it could be taken a few different ways. It could potentially be Christian or Gloria actually hearing Green Day over the radio, it could be Billie talking about Christian and Gloria and how they represent the century, or it could just be random. That line in particular always gives me chills.
ChelseaDagger Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Who else shit their pants when the lights in the arena went out and this song came on?Ha! Totally!!! Love this song, it is stuck in my head all the time!
-Billiejoezee- Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 This song is like the beginning of the best story ever.
NowhereBound Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 This song is like the beginning of the best story ever.Agreed
Maddy. Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 This has to be one of the best intros I've ever heard.First the radio tunning entry. ooooooo shiny! Then there's the voice...a sustenido here and there...and the voice tone set on epic mode, to fit the lyrics. So...the lyrics... It's the freakin song of the century... Leading us into the promised laaand... of musical extasy .All and all, I'll say that this music 'cuz something as deep as this intro has to have the tag of "song".It's more then the sum of all it's part's.It's Cool... Use the default font and size, otherwise the mods will slaughter you.
-Billiejoezee- Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Lol yes no one wants to get in trouble with the mods.
KCoyote Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Who else shit their pants when the lights in the arena went out and this song came on?Me too.. I love this intro!
Maddy. Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 I can't wait 'til the lights dim and Billie starts to sing it. I'll pass out.
BuriedInAHole Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 it's the best to start a great Green Day show..I had goose bumps as this started..
BraedonHorbacio Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Its cool how they recorded it by puting a mic up to an old radio with that song coming out of it.
Freeny Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 God, this song.. It was so surreal when you could hear it in concert. The first time I saw them, I couldn't even hear it because everyone screamed so loud. The second time everyone were singing along instead of screaming like madmen, haha. It's awesome.
Isabel Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 I can't listen to it now without getting really nostalgic about the concerts. I get all choked up
