Anja Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I'm listening to it right now and I just saw this thread What a perfect timing. There was a time I didn't listen to it at all for some reason but it grew on me quite a lot. They played it once last year, didn't they? I can't find a video, though. They played it this year in Costa Rica, I believe. I love this song. Especially the intro. It sounds fabulous with just the music and then all of a sudden Billies voice sets in: "I wish I could tell you"... Beautiful I's one of my favorites from the album!
jos_whatsername Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 omg j'net tthank you so much for picking this song me and kingforadaySHOUT, we were spamming the song discussion thread so much :lol: but well, it worked out! oh my god i love this song. like LOVE love. it fits my situation sooooo well .. you have no idea . every single lyric could be written in my diary. omg thank you!!! this made my day off topic : where do people get handwritten lyrics?
J'net Posted January 5, 2011 Author Posted January 5, 2011 omg j'net tthank you so much for picking this song me and kingforadaySHOUT, we were spamming the song discussion thread so much :lol: but well, it worked out! Just so you and kingforadaySHOUT know ... I don't count multiple votes from the same person in the same week . So your spamming didn't cause the song to be picked . Also, I don't ALWAYS go by number of votes - if I did, we would have already used up the entire Warning album! I have a lot of criteria I apply, but your votes are the most important one. So keep them coming! Oh, and you're welcome
jos_whatsername Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 YAAAAAAAAY the spam worked out!!! exactly! though we annoyed some people I'm so glad it did work out Edit: whoops. j'net just corrected me. but anyways i'm glad
taybay Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 You know, this is a song that almost everyone can relate to. As you listen to the lyrics, at least one of the lines Billie sings you can think back to a time in your life when you felt that way. It's a really sweet song. And I love that video, it's always nice seeing them play songs off of 39/Smooth or Kerplunk
86whatsername Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Awh! I love this song! The lyrics are so cute and so heart-felt! Its such an amazing song because regardless of who or where you are, when you hear it, it makes you think of the person you love Just another example of how inspirational and amazing Mr. Armstrong is! Awesome choice btw J'net!
jos_whatsername Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Jose your spamming all worked out! I'm glad you got it picked god i love how our spamming is mentioned in this thread though j'net told me our votes only counted once.. yeah i can see your reasons, but i just disagree oh wow, you should see me right now. smiling dumbly (?) at my laptop like a weirdo
DecanoLP Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 They played it once last year, didn't they? I can't find a video, though. Hartford 2009, Mountain View 2010, Costa Rica 2010
jos_whatsername Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 It was pretty legendary! It will forever be remembered as the Only of You spam of 2011... you think so? actually, it allready started in december Hartford 2009, Mountain View 2010, Costa Rica 2010 oh wow seriously? wow if i'd have been there ...

Holly Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Ahhhhh, I adore this song. Its just so simple and easy to relate to and, being a teenage girl, it is exactly how I feel the majority of the time
whatshername0303 Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I like this song...it's a great choice for a Song of the Week. Here's my favorite lyrics: These feelings in my heart / Only with you I want to share And the 2009 version
euphoric-pareidolias Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I love your new sig! really? thank you
November's Storms Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Yeah Banksy and street art in general is a love of mine. I loved it when I saw the imagery and artwork for 21stCB! Anyway getting off topic now..Only of You I made the mistake of dedicating this song to an ex girlfriend of mine...and we ended pretty badly so as great a song as it is it pisses me off that I wasted it on her!
Metanoia Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Great Song! I really love it, but it's not in my favs list though.
Florence Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 I love this song. my fave lyrics are: I know that we're worlds apart But I just don't seem to care These feelings in my heart Only with you I want to share
Bastard of 1967 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 I made the mistake of dedicating this song to an ex girlfriend of mine...and we ended pretty badly so as great a song as it is it pisses me off that I wasted it on her! Shame that. Oh well, on the bright side you can save "When It's Time" for the right one.

pasalaska Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 I like this song, but it's not one of my favourites off 1039. To me, it kinda blends into alot of the other songs on 1039, but that's understandable when you think that Billie was only just starting to write when he came up with this one. It's cute though. They played it at Shoreline on the 4th of September last year, and I remember only realising a few bars in that I was getting to hear it live. I went nuts It was over so quickly, but I do remember distinctly watching BIllie and Mike harmonise over the 'ahhhhh ahhhhhh's, and the solo. I love seeing these really old songs live, when you can see how far the band has come, and how Billie's voice has changed since this was recorded.
Annie, get your gun Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 OMG! OOY is my favorite song of 1039/SOSH after Dry Ice ♥ To me, this song has a very special meaning. So when I found out that Green Day will be coming to Argentina, I decided I will make a special t-shirt for the big day. I wrote the chorus, < The first time I caught a glimpse of you, then all my thoughts were Only of You > in a green t-shirt. Now, when I wear it, I remember that beautiful experience
AnnA™ Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 This is definitely one of my top five favourite songs, I'd say. I'm not sure what it is, but I always loved this song a little more than most others. As it often is with Billie's early songwriting, the lyrics are very simple and easy to relate to. I can't tell you how many times I've felt that exact way he's describing. Every single line is so spot on, it's what I have on my mind most days. To me it's just so sweet and perfectly worded. My favourite line is also the very first sentence he's singing. Fist time I heard that opening line I was instantly in love with the song.
Agija Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 I was in love with this song back in 2007. I still like it a lot, it's such a sweet song.
