Mandy_PunkRock Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Listening to this song while I was watching the images of Billie in the video brought a tear to my eyes The lyrics are so emotional! Such a beautiful song
Breakdown_EE Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 This is the musicvideo this song needs right now but not the one it deserves. I love the song but the video mheee...
farley drexel hatcher Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 The video was totally made on windows movie maker
DTH Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 guys, just beacuase it has a piano in it, its netiher beatlesque nor like a joh lennon song. both never sounded like this. the forgotten sounds more like one of those soft rock ballads from the late 80s/early 90s. i compared it to bryan adams ballads before.
WrongWayToSalvation Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 It's one of those songs that I have to be in the mood to listen to, HOWEVER I just...I can't get over the sheer rawness and beauty of this song. The entire time I listened, it just reminded me of a Queen ballad in its ability to be simple yet hauntingly emotional. You can hear Billie's soul he put into every lyric, and his voice flows so beautifully (as does the bass, drums, and guitar) that it gave me nonstop chills. You definetly get the feeling that, Uno was the lead up, Dos was the way out of hand party, and now here you are on Tre, looking back and realizing that maybe you got too out of hand. You're here by yourself, with your thoughts, and you just want someone to talk to. Something interesting I noticed too, this ballad sounds VASTLY different from the ballads on 21stCB, but I can't put my finger on why. If there's anything the trilogy made us realize is just how adaptive Green Day are to all music styles. And, for the most part, they can make them all work. One of the reasons why it sounds so different from say, Last Night on Earth or the intro to Viva La Gloria, is that it doesn't sound processed as hell. It sounds like it was recorded live. I really really like it, the only problem I have with it is that the lyrics are kind of cheesey, a little overly dramatic to be honest. Its still a really good song, and I hope they play it live. This also makes me wonder how Brutal Love will compare to it since its a piano ballad as well. I hope it doesn't sound too similar, otherwise that would hurt both songs and not make them sound as special.

It sounds like Oasis. Who in turn sound like The Beatles. That's probably where that is coming from.
Clockwise Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 The video can easily be edited to remove the twilight clips and insert more studio/live footage. Someone will eventually do it. That said I thought it would be worse than it is. That would be awesome, someone should do that. The song is phenomenal, so beautiful.
pucky Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I know this has nothing to do with the song (which I absolutely LOVE), but...God, I can´t believe how incredibly BAD are the special effects of the twilight movies...Damn, it is 2012 already, and they can't even make a person running seem real.

I was referring to the guitar solo. You don't think that solo sounds like something off Abbey Road?
matteo263 Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I think Rob also deserves a big well done on this.....the arrangement and production are just AMAZING!
Schlappy Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 by all means go for it but i never understood why every time a new song comes out so many people try to think of everything that it resembles. i'm not exactly sure what that accomplishes... it doesnt change the song. looking for influences i guess?
TheJedi Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 It sounds like Oasis. Who in turn sound like The Beatles. That's probably where that is coming from. i don't think it sounds like Beatles or Oasis it sounds like Green Day
spark in the night Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 looking for influences i guess? Yes Everyone is inspired by something. I like to think that Billie is inspired by someone's music the way that I am inspired by his music
Clockwise Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 The song is VERY reminiscent of some late Beatles songs. I also agree with people saying the production is fantastic, seems to be something the entire trilogy has in common. Rob Cavallo is the man.
germanfuzaloo Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 i don't think it sounds like Beatles or Oasis it sounds like Green Day Well of course it sounds like Green Day! It just really reminds me of Oasis.
No Rhyme Or Reason Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 One of the reasons why it sounds so different from say, Last Night on Earth or the intro to Viva La Gloria, is that it doesn't sound processed as hell.

I hope it doesn't sound too similar, otherwise that would hurt both songs and not make them sound as special. Ooh, I'm excited for Brutal Love. It's been described as a kind of R&B styled ballad, and it apparently has brass orchestration. I'm excited to hear some horns on the song! It also has strings, like The Forgotten, but it sounds like it will have a different vibe.
Guest Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I really really like it Who the fuck are you and what have you done with WWTS? The song is VERY reminiscent of some late Beatles songs. Eh, I'll give you that to a point. The piano chord progression and use of strings make it sound sort of like a George Harrison ballad, but it really sounds more like Green Day to me than anything else. The song that came to mind very quickly was a subdued "When It's Time". Also, is that a potential Aska sighting around 3:35?
Guest Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 It's a pretty song, but not one I'd listen to just for the hell of it. It's sort of depressing.
Clockwise Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 The guitar solo, while being primarily a 'classic ballad solo', the very last part is just so completely Green Day and I love it.
AngelBlue_ Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 *repeat* *repeat* *repeat* *repeat* *repeat* *repeat* I'm addicted to this song!
matteo263 Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 totally my fave song off the trilogy so far....FOR SURE!
matteo263 Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I really can't believe it....they go from something like let yourself go to the forgotten !......what a band!
AngelBlue_ Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I really can't believe it....they go from something like let yourself go to the forgotten !......what a band! that's why a love them!!!!! they can make me cry, jump, sceam,have fun....I LOVE THEM!
