Olivia (the song)

[dolce]

Hey guys - maybe someone can answer this question for me...

Where can the song "Olivia" be heard? I've seen only a few people on here talk about the song, and I don't know if it maybe has another name and I've heard it before, or if it's something completely different. Where was it first heard? Have they played it live?

LOL, sorry, I'm just confused. Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

I can't remember if this was played live or not. I don't think so. The only unreleased songs that I know have been played so far are Drama Queen and Tell Me When It's Time To Say I Love You.

If I'm wrong, someone else can correct me.

That's what I think too.

I don't think so, we would have said something about it.

I never heard of Tell Me When It's Time To Say I Love You. Is it any good?

Olivia? O.o

I'm confused, are you guys saying it's a Green Day song that's unreleased?

WHY do they do that to us? I mean, if they're gonna play it live and stuff... teasing us with a song we can't have. >:C

Yes, it's fucking gorgeous.

Yeah, Olivia is an unreleased song. They wrote it while recording 21CB, I'm guessing, but decided to leave it off the album.

I'm thinking they might play it some point on the tour. They played Drama Queen and Tell Me When to Say I Love You, so I would just assume Olivia would be played as well. But I'm not sure, obviously.

Geez, has the search thing died or something? Olivia is an unreleased song played at soundcheck with Drama Queen. Drama Queen has since been played live a couple of times, Olivia has not. I don't know why they know it's called Olivia, I guess Billie said so. It is not known under any other name, as far as we know.

yeah..

They are waiting to hit the Europe to play Olivia.. C'mon.. We need to get some unreleased songs too xD

Cause Olivia was Gloria's original name but before going into recording or ending the writing process Billie Joe decided to go with the name Gloria

i thought emily was gloria's original name

BJ said ti somewhere, that song for Gloria was originally written for Emily, but he liked the Gloria more.

And about this song, did you tried the youtube?

Olivia has never been played live, not even at any Soundcheck (unless I missed something which I kind of doubt since I read every tour thread )

Yep. Here´s the interview about it: at 6.40

[dolce]

And about this song, did you tried the youtube?

Yeah, I did, with no luck.

[Tripe]

I think the whole Olivia thing is just speculation. At one point, people said it was played acoustically at Philly Sound Check, along with Drama Queen. But no one seems to be able to confirm this, nor describe the song, lyrics, etc. It might exist, but I don't think it has been played publicly.

[dolce]

Thanks for your answers, guys. I felt like I was missing out on a great song and I just couldn't find it, lol. I feel better now.

[Minority_GD]

Does anyone have the lyrics to "tell me when it's time to say I love you"?

I can't find them anywhere.

[Tripe]

There is a thread on that somewhere on GDC, I believe. I know I saw people working them out on here after it was played. Give it a search.

[.Militza.]

Yeah, I did, with no luck.

Too bad.

Well, you can wait till European tour and hope they play it.
