Kaddi. Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I love this song, it's absolutely awesome.
Lauren Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 "She's old enough to bleed now."Ew. ...but it makes sense in the song
Robin105 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I freaked out when I heard this song being played at MSG. I seemed to be the only one in my section who reconized it though. I love this song. It needs to be recorded and released as a B-side
PasalacquaBomb Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I'm lovin' it...I think i'll call my girlfriend my little drama queen from now on
Alan86 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Great song. According to Q magazine the song was intendend to be on act 3 (H&H) of the album, inbetween Horseshoes and Handgrenades and Static Age. If they release it as a b-side then thats exactly where it will be going on my Ipod. I wont feel i have the complete album till i have this song
Nikki_Nimrod Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 This song is SO incredible! It makes me smile whenever i hear it. It's so simple, yet so beautifully done. Billie Joe's voice sounds great on it too. I really hope we get the recorded version soon!
gmcloughlin Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I really wish this was on 21st CB Great choice for SOTW
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I love the song, it's beeeeautifull
Sarahnade. Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Gorgeous song. I'm glad it won this week. <3
Penguin Puffball Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I really don't understand this song. What's it supposed to be about? Some of it sounds like a girl commiting suicide, other parts sound like a girl growing up and being out on her own. And it sounds like Billie's singing it in the perspective of a father to his daughter. He doesn't have a daughter, at least not that I know of. Can someone please explain this?
Hermione Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Nice choice, now let's have it as a b side please I think this is a showbiz story. The sweet sound of it is at odds with the whole tone of the lyrics, which are pretty harsh and cynical. 'Daddy's little bundle of joy/ out of a magazine' sounds like daddy's been making a bundle of cash from his daughter's career. The second part of the song, where it goes from 'she is my drama queen' to 'there goes my drama queen' - well, it's like he's lost his investment or his stake. '(un)folding/holding' can have a number of meanings - like the drug reference J'net makes - but the first thing I think of is poker. So, drama queen maybe finds a 'savior' - who or what is she being saved from? Maybe Daddy's control - what's for sure is that Daddy's rushing to find a lawyer and get this thing undone. 'She's old enough to bleed' is the refrain - I feel like that's a reference to how young girls in the spotlight are sexualized at such an early age. It's like this girl is basically 'fair game' once she crosses the line into puberty - she's pushed into an adult world, vulnerable and liable to be hurt, to 'bleed' emotionally. There's also the vibe that this girl is being 'bled' for money.When I first heard it I was unsure of the meaning because initially it does sound like a parent, but then I remembered Billie mentioning something about this song being about a celebrity/celebrity culture in an article before the album came out. I love your interpretation of it (for a change ), it really cements that meaning in my mind. It definitely has that darker feeling to it, I think that live version sounds quite eerie really. It would be interesting to hear how a recorded version would sound.
Maddy. Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 This song is nice. Funny how my comment is exactly the same as most of them on here.
Maddy. Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I just can't stop listening to it...If I would listen to it now, I'd end up bawling.
.Militza. Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 If I would listen to it now, I'd end up bawling.Oh, it totally brings tears to my eyes... ...THERE GOES MY DRAMA QUEEEEEN... that part Pure love.
tuwlol Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I don't exactly love it, but I do have to say it's beautiful.
