Catchy. I like it, but don't love it. I think this may be a grower.

I just read in the credits of the lyric book that Ron Blake gets credits for playing the trumpets on this song.. makes me wonder where the fuck they are.

Haha I saw that just before also! I think it's at the chorus but it gets drowned out by the guitars. Quite pointless if you ask me, why didn't they also feature the didgeridoo?

Damn, this is cool. Quite Foxboro too.

I almost sang "I'm not fucking around!" 

 

Chasing fireflies and zeros...BILLIE WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN

Regarding the transition between this and Still Breathing, I think it's heavy-handed and awkwardly executed, but the intention was, as I see it, to contrast the trilogy-esque hedonistic themes of BOTW with him coming clean and realizing the way to go in Still Breathing.

Definitely my second favorite song from RevRad.

You expect anything other than random word salad after the title track's chorus? :P

I just want to jump up and down... throughout this entire song.

This is the standout song on the album. The  Buddy Holly-style chorus melody is fucking killer.

From the second chorus onwards, buried in the mix on the right playing a low staccato part. It's just a rhythmic thing to thicken up the mix, so it's barely noticeable but it'd probably make a difference if it wasn't there.

I hope they play this song live, a lot. I had to start dancing while listening to it. It's so fun!

Yees, reminds me of the Tubbies as well <3

One of my favourites after first listen! If not favourite.

I am starting to really enjoy this song but I feel like I shouldn't be. It hardly makes any sense, just words thrown together, like a song left over from the trilogy. And its so quick with little structure. It probably could have been fleshed out into a nice song. But with all that said, I just can't stop listening to it. It's such a fun song that you  an have a real good time listening to. And after a day or so of the album, it's strangely becoming a personal favourite.

It's a really fun one. I love the guitar tone in the verses, and the chord progression is great. I love how it just bounces around. It's not the kind of song that needs deep and meaningful lyrics so even if they don't make much sense I don't really care.

this song is my drug. it makes me happy ..careless..peaceful. I wanna get up and dance which is weird i'm not a dancing person. Listening to it on bus was dangerous cause i wanted to get out and break some shit.

Posted

This song is closest to FOXBORO HOT TUBS ever! 

Posted

In the lyric booklet it's "bouncing off the wall," but he's clearly singing "walls." UGH. WE WILL NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH. This is worse than "Novacaine" being misspelled. :lol:

Posted

It's Horseshoes meets Trilogy meets Foxboro. Fun to dance and swing to :happy: 

Posted

One of the best songs on the album I think. I love the verses more than the chorus though. makes me sad that the verses don't get repeated again towards the end, which is a good thing. Makes me want to put the song on repeat.

This is probably my favourite track, i really like this one:D
 

but i have a question what does that mean, bouncing off the wall? Is it a idiom or something?
I can´t know, i´m from germany X)

Well it sounds to me like it means being excited or ecstatic about something.

Yeah, in "American" English it means being so excited you're all over the place and can't sit still. For example, my toddler had too much chocolate milk and the sugar's making him "bounce off the walls".

On a separate note, Billie's vocals are substantially different on this one- is it an effect or distortion? I love it, but he sounds like he either recorded after a bad cold or after smoking 5 packs of cigarettes.

Great song, definitely one of my favorites.

Okey thank you

So this song took me by surprise as well, mainly the verse because they're so upbeat and catchy. But I really love this song. It's fun, carefree, and just a good time - a nice break from the more serious matters of the album. I hope they do this one live, I bet it'll be a good one.
