Yeah Whatsername is powerful and "lump in the throat" forming every time. I also love She's A Rebel. Sounds great and has that wonderful line

"And she's holding on my heart like a handgrenade"

which also happens to be the depicted in the iconic album artwork. It's awesome. What a powerful statement. The feeling that your heart is literally going to explode.

funny how it seems so unimportant and simple on first listen, but listen more closely and its a heavy song.

I'd say that's part of the appeal of it. It's very understated, and you've really got to get into it to before it has much meaning. I also think it's one of the best examples of the music fitting the lyrics there is.

I think the only other song that compares is Fuck Time

I agree. It's just perfect on every level.  The lyrics are poignant, the music supports the lyrics, the vocals are perfect, the structure, the instrumentation, everything. I think it really is their best song.

I love Whatsername, that song tears me up every time. It's such an emotional and powerful song. 

I've never really thought of When I Come Around as a love song, but I suppose in a way it is.

80 is the most slept on.

F.O.D really means something to me

But I would also consider Panic Song as a good one ;)

Westbound sign is a really good one too - hopefully it will get played live someday soon ! :)

Church on Sunday, WICA and Whatsername are my favorite relationship songs.  But I also really love Fell For You, it is just so much fun.

I agree 100%. Fell For You is terribly under-rated. It's a fun song and it has a similar feel to it as his early love songs, a kind of naive, eager kind of love - not the realistic relationship stuff like Church on Sunday or more serious insight into the relationship as in WICA. It's just as good and fun withought being sappy. I'm still not sure how I feel about the line about pissing a bed, though. Not that I have a problem with it but wtf? I always have to chuckle at it.

Whatsername doesn't really hit me emotionally, but musically it's a very well-made song. Shows a lot of talent.

Posted

I like She a lot, he's trying to make her feel important almost, it's really powerful. I like 2000 Light Years Away because it's really catchy musically, it's just pretty darn cute.

I like Only of You, Dry Ice, The Judge's Daughter, Whatsername, Scattered, Redundant, 2000 Light Years Away, and Church on Sunday the most.

Their are so many amazing songs . Like Why do you want him - Was that the first song Billie wrote ? . And all of the songs on the 1000 hours EP are about the same girl ? . Also more recently with Oh Love and Last Night on Earth etc .

What's your favorite Green Day song about Love / Relationships ? - Are their any lyrics that mean anything to you ? 

My favorites are Only of You and Paper Lanterns :) .

 

My favorite is 2000 Light Years Away!!!
