ElmoGreenDay Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Catchy. I like it, but don't love it. I think this may be a grower.
SumDay Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 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?
spark in the night Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 I almost sang "I'm not fucking around!" Chasing fireflies and zeros...BILLIE WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN
Harry Potter. Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 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.
Greywind Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Definitely my second favorite song from RevRad.

PursuitOfEpicness Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 I just want to jump up and down... throughout this entire song.
House Of Wolves Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 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.
Tubbie Head Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 I hope they play this song live, a lot. I had to start dancing while listening to it. It's so fun! 10 hours ago, Libertine Angel said: Damn, this is cool. Quite Foxboro too. Yees, reminds me of the Tubbies as well <3 One of my favourites after first listen! If not favourite.
PoisonLemonade Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 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.
Spike Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 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.
Private Ale. Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 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.
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 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.
spark in the night Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 It's Horseshoes meets Trilogy meets Foxboro. Fun to dance and swing to
Sixtrix Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 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.
platypus136 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 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)

TimmyChunks Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 8 hours ago, MysticManiac said: 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.

The Grohl Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 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.
