Discuss anything and everything about this song here.

This was my favorite song in the album for a while. Now it's tied with Little Girl and Last Of The American Girls. The piano intro makes my heart weep a little. Beautiful.

I want the piano intro to go away, or the way he sings it. Sounds too broadway-esque

I love the intro - the piano and the way he sings it. It's never occurred to me to think of it as broadway-esque, and I hope it doesn't sound that way the next time I listen to it. This is one of my favorites, so you better not have ruined it for me :(.

No, I like the way he sings it live, it's just on the album he sounds so... perky

I don't think the beginning bit sounds Broadway-esque, it's one of my favorite parts. And I think along with Little Girl are two of my favorite Green Day songs.

Perky! :lol: That's cute.

I prefered Little Girl first but now I think it's much better. Intro is beautiful and those lyrics... :wub:

Eternal youth is

A landscape of the lie

The cracks of my skin can prove

As the years will testify

Say your prayers and light a fire

We're going to start a war

Your slogans a gun for hire

It's what we waited for

And there's something about the way he sings 'Hey Gloria' that makes my heart melt.

Sounds a lot like Letterbomb, the piano intro totally fools you though.

Posted

Yeah this is one of my top songs with Murder City and Horseshoes and Handgrenades. I love the 'November' and 'Remember' bits. The emotion in the singing is fantastic....

Posted

The intro gives me chills.

Posted

I agree...the intro gives me chills to. I love how it bursts into the fast bit unexpectedly! I love the lyrics to...they're just so descriptive. The only question I have...what's with all the autumn/winter references?

Posted

Definitely one of my favourites! I love the way it starts off slow with a lot of emotion and then builds up!

Posted

It's one of my favorite songs off the album. I love the last part:

So Gloria,

Send out your message of the light

That shadows in the night.

Gloria, where's your undying love?

Tell me the story of your life

:wub:

It's such a beautiful song.

Posted

I love that song!!! It's very very beautiful!! I love the intro :wub:

May not be my favorite song at every given moment, but definitely the BEST Green Day song, along with One For The Razorbacks.

My favourite song on the album :wub:

The opening is so beautiful.

"The fight of our lives been drawn to this undying love"

One of the most heart melting lines in a song ever :)

Posted

It's one of my favorites on the album.

The intro is so beautiful, and I like it how it bursts out into the fast part, and the fast part is aaawesome too. :happy:

this song always leaves me speechless, heck just thinking about it is making my thoughts all jumbled right now lol.

he's got such a powerful voice in this whole album, it's like a bleeding heart or a caged songbird, especially in the beginning.

I've been so sad lately, and it's like this song is able to weep along with me, this whole freaking album is like that for me, i love it, i love this song!

and it also leaves some hope for me: "dont lose your faith" "dont put away your burning light" "Bring us the season, that we always will remember"

(lol...aw fuckme my eyes are watering)

"Where are you Gloria?"

this is my favorite song too!!!it's so perfect!!!i'va seen that billie joe was crying when he was singing it!!!
