Live Album, Cigarettes and Valentines and Olivia

[jon18]

I think "Cigarettes and Valentines" (album) was a rock opera whose Olivia is the main character like Gloria in "21st Century Breakdown". It's my theory.

[broooks77]

can you settle with a combination of our versions?

..it go on and watch from afar

we .... and step in the mud

It makes no sense but you misunderstood

The city is in ruins, but there's a flower in the crack of the streets

Olivia, Olivia, I'll give you my best

safe in my arms, I'll lay you to rest

you can borrow my coat, you and the dress

Olivia, Olivia, come follow me home

I'm thinking the line about the dress is...

"you can borrow my coat, you can wear the dress"

[Ellenkc]

Ooh I love Olivia! It has a great vibe to it. Was there much missing from the video or just the first 1/2 lines?

[MascaraTears]

neither song is my favorite green day song ever but I definitely like them... it's just really really exciting that they're finally (maybe) being released. and of course I'm ecstatic about the live album

[RobyRoom]

I liked Olivia, I got really emotional listening to it. C&V is an average song, I'm not really in to it

[Francois]

Stay The Night, Dream Catcher, Cigarettes and Valentines... Probably only the latter will be on the live album, but this new (or actually old) material really excites me!!! Hopefully we won't have to wait half a decade for a new album!

[Maddy.]

C&V has a sweet melody. Olivia is boring.

[xjernpqvrnbfv]

I love the new songs! Can't wait for the live album!

Olivia is beautiful!!

[Maddy.]

Olivia is beautiful!!

Meh, I've heard better, and similar. But then again, it's only a 30 second snippet and we cannot judge whether it is a good or bad song from those seconds. I suppose when they (if they) release a studio version of them, that we could have a proper ~discussion.

[cherrybomb!]

this is amazing! I'm insanely jelous of anyone who was at that gig lol! I am in love with Cigarettes and Valentines i think it's a great song. I'm not as kean on Olivia, i think he's written better slow/acoustic songs but i still really like it.

[Moffie]

Olivia is too wordy for me. It has pretty chords but the lyrics are meh. I'm glad it exists, though. I remember people weren't even sure if it was real.

[GreeN_DaY_4_EveR]

Olivia is a really good song but i don't think we can judge it if we don't hear the full song

Hmm yeah we should wait. It's still super exciting to hear those 'new' songs!

[Maddy.]

I do hope that they will eventually release them officially. Because, from the two snippets, I can't make much out of them and it just sounds a bit shit because it wasn't recorded professionally. Although, I think C&V sounds very Warning-esque and less American Idiot-like. Not sure what that means but yeah. It sounds like Warning. But all of Warning sounds the same. Idk. I'm not making much sense right now.

I think they could put out an E.P or something and release those songs offcially along with Stay the night and Dreamcatcher and Drama Queen. I'd love to hear a proper recording of those songs.

[Mrs.Kerplunk]

olivia sounds lovely.

and i'm totally in love with C&V

[whatshername0303]

A not really new song : C&V + Olivia + A new live album = All these things made my day! Great!

[Armstump]

This made my day <3

Wait, what are Stay the Night and Dreamcatcher?

Here are the lyrics to Olivia (or what it sounds like to me)

Olivia, ___________ before

____________________ stepped in the mud

that makes no sense and you misunderstood

this city's in run/ ruin but the ________________ on the streets

Olivia, olivia, I'll give you my best

safe in my arms are laid to rest

you can borrow my coat and you wear the dress

Olivia, Olivia, come follow me home

[LetItBeHappy]

my mom can't understand why I'm listening to the same songs over and over again! I'll tell her when she ask... if she ask

anyways... Me likes them very much, specially Olivia. C&V reminds me of Stay the night. They have a similar idea, don't you think? with the "I don't wanna go back home, I don't wanna kiss goodnight". Maybe Stay the night is the opening song, with the "i don't wanna say goodbye!" and this was the end of the album? Or maybe they are totally unrelated

And could Olivia and Drama Queen be about the same person?

[Nele]

Wait, what are Stay the Night and Dreamcatcher?

Two new songs that got played during soundchecks. I think the threads about them got deleted for whatever reason but you can find them on youtube.

[XxRedundantCastaway86xX]

This is a great day for Green Day fans. We finally get to hear what most likely was the title track to Cigarettes and Valentines, and we also get to hear a short, but great clip of Olivia, which I've always really wanted to hear for some reason. I think both of the songs are amazing, Cigarettes and Valentines is a truly kick ass song and Olivia is really beautiful, the lyrics that I can make out of it are terrific. Anyway this just makes me even more excited for the new live album, but also excited for their future concerts on this tour, knowing there's a good chance they could play some more unreleased songs, and hopefuilly videos will surface, haha.

I thought the same the first time I listen it.

Love both songs

I think it goes like this (using yours as a base)

Olivia, go out and watch from the far

we could have get __________ and stepped in the mud

it makes no sense and/but/(?) you misunderstood

this city is in ruins but there is a girl on the back of the streets

Olivia, olivia, I'll give you my best

safe in my arms are laid to rest

you can borrow my coat and you wear that dress

Olivia, Olivia, come follow me home

It reminds me of Dylan! that was it!!
