spark in the night Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 river of a shadow of a doubt of a dawn's shadow in the light of night something like that.
Stephanie. Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 somewhere towards the end of Haushinka and Walking Contradiction have the same chord progression
xSodaPopandRiTalinx Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 In a lot of green day songs, they start out very softly so that I feel the need to turn my ipod up very loudly, then they randomly become loud and blast my ears out. It's mostly the newer songs, and no matter how many times i hear them, it still gets me xD (i have no idea why my english sounds so horrible in this paragraph xD)
Desensitized09 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 What patterns do I notice in Green Day songs? Drugs.
minorty13 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 What patterns do I notice in Green Day songs? Drugs. Amen! Maybe it's just me... but in a lot of their songs I've heard ticking, in Nimrod especially I remember correctly.
ParadoxAndPlaid Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Come on; of course there are going to be lyrical themes and pattens throughout the songs on American Idiot, guys, it's a rock opera...a story. Thats obvious. Anyway I've noticed from their earliest days, and into the present they're lyrics have a heavily urban in theme. -makes sens considering where they live- Every album has at least two -if not more- songs that mention street names, transport,buildings, industrialism, etc. I think the weirdest thing is the love/hate relationship they seems to have with it. Sometimes they're talking about it like it's wonderful, other times it's like hell. Also Billie's weird obsession with females names, both real women he's known and those he's invented. He loves sining lady names. Julie, Adie, Haushinka, Olivia, Virgina, Gina, Whatsername, Gloria, Sally (i'm sure there are some I've forgotten)
Marlee Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 I guess an obvious pattern would be the maturity the band has gained and portrays it through music. They went from Dookie, which were the days of masturbation and drugs. Throughout the albums and years, they slowly matured Now they don't have bratty fast punk albums, instead they put more meaning and thought behind telling a story. Both are excellent, just different
StuckWithRob Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 SELF DESTRUCTION!!! (especially on Insomniac)In 'All the Time' there is the lyric 'wasting time, wasting time down a bum fuck road, and I don't know where the hell it'll go' and later on 'guess I should have read between the lines'. In BOBD there then is the lyric 'read between the lines, what's fucked up etc'. He is also on a 'bum fuck road' - the boulevard itself, and doesn't know where it'll go. I noticed this link a few days ago - nice!!!
Moyeszet Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 That's not a lyrical pattern but a musical pattern... Parts of Mass Hysteria and deadbeat holidays are fuckin the same intervals and the same beats! They are just...nearly exactly the same And the end of JAR seems like Modern World... And in Jackass "Well No one ever said that live is fair" and favorite son: "Well No onesays it's fair"
StuckWithRob Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 A musical one: Church on Sunday and The Static Age have very similar riffs
Amber. Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I've noticed Billie likes to use the phrases "my mind" or "my head" a few times. Guess it's not really a pattern.. Was this mentioned?
Pedestrian9394 Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 I don't know if anyone has said it yet or not, but his whole "not caring" theme. I don't care, you don't care, I don't care if you don't care, I don't care if you don't mind, I don't mind if you don't mind....
Heather. Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 And in Jackass "Well No one ever said that live is fair" and favorite son: "Well No onesays it's fair" You forgot Homecoming too, "Nobody ever said that life was fair now" And yes to whoever mentioned the beginning music to Letterbomb and Static Age being incredibly similar.... but that's whatever.
greendaygirl199 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 she's a rebel, vigilante Vigilante's warning ya, calling christian and gloria!
gmcloughlin Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 "I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride" and "I'm on the wagon again"
localinsomniac Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 somewhere towards the end of Haushinka and Walking Contradiction have the same chord progression Same with parts of All the Time and Private Ale.
classof12 Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 "lost and found" I've heard it on St. Jimmy, Are we the waiting and on a Warning dong, I don't remember which one
Stephanie. Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Same with parts of All the Time and Private Ale. oh yeah i didn't even notice that!
Sweet Armataged Chump Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 A lot of songs have BJ saying "Alright". Know Your Enemy and East Jesus Nowhere. The beginning of 86 and Armatage Shanks.
brianbags Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 That's not a lyrical pattern but a musical pattern... Parts of Mass Hysteria and deadbeat holidays are fuckin the same intervals and the same beats! They are just...nearly exactly the same And the end of JAR seems like Modern World... And in Jackass "Well No one ever said that live is fair" and favorite son: "Well No onesays it's fair" What are you talking about? The drum beats in Deadbeat Holiday and Mass Hysteria are completely different. Anyway, interesting topic.
oda Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Hear the drum pounding out of time - Holiday Marching out of time, to my own beat now - Minority ...everyones heart doesn't beat the same, it's beating out of time - Jesus of suburbia
lucatotti Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Everytime I'm singing Scattered I'm drifting up in 2000 lightyears away. The chord progression is very similar, isn't it?
Nzap Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Everytime I'm singing Scattered I'm drifting up in 2000 lightyears away. I'm having a similar situation with "Stuck with me" and 86.
JDookie Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Hear the drum pounding out of time - Holiday Marching out of time, to my own beat now - Minority ...everyones heart doesn't beat the same, it's beating out of time - Jesus of suburbia She's always living like she's running out of time (Too Much Too Soon) So stay, so stay the night, 'cause we're running out of time! (Stay the Night) I love out of time pattern!
