Christina. Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 I think it's a great start to the album. When it's played at the beginning of the shows I feel it creates an intense feeling in the crowd! And it's even more proof of how amazing Billie's voice truly is.
in_your_face Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 Well, it's a good intro and i pretty much liked it! i can't find anything wrong in it.
Guest drugs Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 great opening for the rest of the album. cool lyrics too, wish i could write songs like that
Wajd Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 I like this song very much ..!! it's fucking AMAZING ..!!
dangreenday Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 this always reminds me of the live shows now, just as the lights go out and this song kicks in, My god i get goosebumps just thinking about it, GREAT INTRO
Bubbles. Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 this always reminds me of the live shows now, just as the lights go out and this song kicks in, My god i get goosebumps just thinking about it, GREAT INTRO Yeah, same. Especially when I listen to it before 21st Century Breakdown.
dangreenday Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Yeah, same. Especially when I listen to it before 21st Century Breakdown. yeahhhh and then during 21cb when he goes "STAND UP, STAND UP" oooooohhh gooosebumpssssss
zeniekins Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 i think people overlook this song too often. to me it sounds like a soft-sung way of saying "this century is fucking chaos, lets tear it apart in a rebellion." and then BOOM!-the res of the album hits you!
Marlee Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 It sets up the entire album perfectly it's like setting you up for an epic (i know...overused word) album concept. I remember laying in my room, having just bought the album, and listening to this song from my speakers for the first time.....i got chills
Alllllli. Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 ^^ I concur with both of the above. Beauuuuuutiful song. I love it.
ProstheticHeads Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Shoulda been a single with a music video. hehe
CarolineGilman Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 this is one of the songs i fell in love with instantly from 21st century breakdown. i love it so much. billies voice just stands out. i used to listen to it over and over. leave it to green day to make a song so awesome with pretty much with only vocals
LilithofSuburbia Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Yeah, same. Especially when I listen to it before 21st Century Breakdown. \ That is so amazingly cool.
Schlappy Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 this song is just great. it sounds more like a poem than anything else. all the images painted by the lyrics get me all excited. the rhyming is great too because they arent forced rhymes, its just so natural
Mrs. Nobody Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Yeah, same. Especially when I listen to it before 21st Century Breakdown. I do this all the time. It gives me goosebumps and a huge smile =D
Bad Brain Teh Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Great song but why is it a separate song on rock band? It's not even a minute long
kods (: Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 It was one of the most tearful/beautiful moments of my life when everyone sang this at the Glasgow/London shows. I always listen to this, and then 21st Century Breakdown straight after... it always brings back the memories that made the two most amazing nights of my life THIS. Except the last two Glasgow shows I get a funny feeling in my belly when I listen to it, just brings back great memories.
Haniik Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Aah this one always gives me chills <3 I just love the way BJ sing it, mmm
Holly Ann Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Couldn't have chose/used a better album opener. Love BJ's voice. The lyrics are wonderful too.
Adeline.Hearts.You Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 I think it's the best way they have ever opend an album! And i adore it, its beautiful!!
TheCreativeJon Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 It's a good intro but I could live without it.
FannyDefoe Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 LOVE this intro... sounds really like those old radios XD best idea ever...combined with billies voice... It's my alarm bell every morning...there's no better thing than to wake up with The Song Of The Century eeevery morning... and it's so wonderful sarcastic ...the patriotic melody with those lyrics.. .
nimrod310 Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 I love this song. Even if it's only a minute long. It's such a great opener at the concerts: everything goes black, you hear the sound of a radio, then Billie's voice....and in a short time you hear the opening chords of 21st Century Breakdown. Then, Billie, Tre and Mike come on stage and you have the best night of your life
ThisIsNotNora Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 I think it's nice, but in a random order, it's kind of weird...Billie Joe's voice it's really nice though!
