Sixtrix Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I watched it, couldn't bare watching the video. So I listened. Then got teary eyes. This song quite hits me personally. Even though it might be a bit cheesy, it's damn beautifully written and catchy like a cute kitten that I just can't ignore
The Forgotten Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I can already see it now! Billie in a hoody playing this song on his piano accompanied by Rocky
Heather. Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I think I figured out why I don't understand the main line of the song I feel like it should be "Where in the world ARE the forgotten?" not IS the forgotten. Because if it was "are" I would picture a world of lost souls, but when it's "is" I'm like ... huh. Especially followed by "they're lost inside your memory"... so I guess it's not referring to forgotten people but forgotten thoughts or feelings... Syntax

Syntax but it can be about ONE person, then it is "is. xD
JIGD13 Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Well I told that I was going to upload the video, YEAH! I know there are a lot of videos of it but if you can share mine it would be awesome!
Heather. Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 but it can be about ONE person, then it is "is. xD Right, but the second line says "they" so it's not Therefore there's some verbage agreement issues. I swear I'm not a grammar nazi, I just think it's little things like this that do add up in a song's lyrics where in the end you ask "What's this about?" BOBD succeeded because it made sense at every turn, same for Good Riddance. This has all the musical qualities to match those songs, but is not quite accessible enough lyrically, and that's the only reason I'm nitpicking. Again I love it, think it's a masterpiece
MikeyB99 Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Hey, I don't like The Beatles either, easily one of the most overrated bands every. Wut?
Freezing Melons Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 haha yea, similar to Beatles in like the guitar "solo" part, very Let it Be, almost, dare I say, Oasis feel, just less whiny. Yea, couldn't bare the video either, but i really want to hear the album before this track, just to make it sound more rewarding, you know?
She is Amanda Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Let it be, Let it be, Let it be, Oh let it be, Whisper words of wisdom, Let it be... Please tell me I'm not the only one hearing this O.o
1039SweetChildren Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I actually think Billie is singing, "Where in the world's our forgotten?" Anyone else hear that?
SuperXCsabre495 Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 If only I could put the forgotten on my iPod...
newsflash777 Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Green Day .... come on guys. I fucking love the shit out of you but I just CANNOT do this right now. I cannot take this song in whilst watching clips of fucking Bella and Edward. I know I'm being a bitch, but I don't know. This is really pissing me off man
Travis Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Green Day .... come on guys. I fucking love the shit out of you but I just CANNOT do this right now. I cannot take this song in whilst watching clips of fucking Bella and Edward. I know I'm being a bitch, but I don't know. This is really pissing me off man So minimize the screen and just blast the song. It'll be as if there wasn't a video at all.
TheJedi Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Let it be, Let it be, Let it be, Oh let it be, Whisper words of wisdom, Let it be... Please tell me I'm not the only one hearing this O.o i think you have hearing problems just kidding, haha. but no, i've listened to the Beatles my whole life, and no i don't hear that
Gwen Stacy Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Ugh, sparkly vampires. But, the song is fucking incredible. This should be the new concert closer
She is Amanda Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 i think you have hearing problems just kidding, haha. but no, i've listened to the Beatles my whole life, and no i don't hear that Haha it's just the piano and the guitar tones I think. That's my favorite Beatles song haha
yuan Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 the video just...no feeling to me and some old clips..nothing new and as the song...um....i find it a bit boring, make me want to sleep idk, maybe in the context would make it better like oh love
Fuzz Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I'm just going to put this here: In Defense of Green Day
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Great song! I'm not sure if it's catchy enough to be as huge of a hit as some of their others, but it's definitely a fitting end to the trilogy and I can't wait to hear it in context. However, I think I ruined it by watching the video as I listened to it for the first time. That was arguably the worst "professional" video I've ever seen. And we all thought "Oh Love" was bad. I actually think Billie is singing, "Where in the world's our forgotten?" Anyone else hear that? I think you're right. That would make more sense and fix the syntax issues driving Heather crazy (and me as well!).
DecanoLP Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 The song isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I'm still not really digging it :/
GuitarPunk94 Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 so i didnt listen to it but i gonna watch the video (without audio) later this day is the song really that good? (im not a fan of GD-ballads, i like more the kick-ass songs), but i want to know if the song is a good choice to be the leading song for sth popular like twilight and if the songs is a good choice to be the final song of 37 epic songs in the trilogy?
sick Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 epic song. one to remember. nothing else to say.
