Giusey Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 As soon as saw the red triangle productions who also helps out artists such as Charlie Puth and one direction i knew this was going to be poppy af Not saying its bad its just different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenalert997x Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I only heard 30 sec of Still Breathing and it really resambles new blink... I'm waiting for a full lenght of high quality. Anyway, I don't like it. I think this is one of the most shallow songs :/ but the rest must be fast and loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stories and songs Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It's inspiring, it's catchy, it's a fast ballad of sorts, and for casual GD listeners, it ties into probably one of the freshest images of the band in their mind—Billie going to rehab. It's gonna be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strangestat Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'm just glad this song uses real instruments compared to most of the pop crap that's out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky_stars Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I don't really know what to think about it... my first thought was "what... the... fuck..." Just going to leave my review at that for now. Damn... was not expecting that sound for this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacky Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Im afraid that if Green Day puts out a cover of "Candle in the wind" , someone would post "it's obvious that this come from the Trilogy"........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a very strict set of rules your songs need to apply to in order for them to do well in America. You need to be a country singer, Drake, or have EDM beats. Green Day's very far from that and this song's performance won't be any better than moderate success on the rock charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know what you're missing Trilogy was the best thing that happened to Green Day. They started to sound like themselves again. I don't think it sounds that generic. I mean it's a pop song, but it's a good pop song. Unlike California which is full of shitty songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanlolss Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Wow, that certainly is different from the past two. To be honest, it really does remind me California by b182, which isn't a bad thing, I love that album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some songs do break out of that though - it won't be Drake and that music style forever. And I haven't heard the song yet but it'd be super awesome if Still Breathing made an impact.

XxXxXxXxX Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 So this song was pretty unique for me. I wasn't always a Green Day fan. To be honest when American Idiot came out I hated it because my best friend was obsessed and it was all he listened to. I think the nature of the JOS music video in particular is what attracted me (and i'm sure it did many others if you are honest with yourselves). I hate to admit it, but I WAS that edgy, annoying, little fucking shit-head that many of the older fans i'm sure were embarrassed of when GD attracted all of them. And while I look back on those days and cringe, there has always been something about Green Day that stuck. I started getting into their older stuff and I think many can relate, there is just something about the band, their personalities, and their stage presence that retains fans. I'm not really a fan of modern day rock, besides blink and Green Day really. Anyways through the years and maturing I think many can relate when I say there have been some moments where listening to Green Day actually brings some tears to your eyes. It's been a LONG time since that has happened for me... but it happened for this song. It took a couple listens, but there was one line in particular that I noticed when listening to the lyrics and it sent chills down my spine. It reminded me of why I got into Green Day in the first place. It threw me back to some weird dark shit in my past that I have grown so far away from. It made me realize how much I have matured over the years. Shit I put myself through that really isn't part of my life today. Decisions I made and decisions to change. Older Green Day songs have made me cry for various reasons. This is the first song that made me cry happy tears. Anyways, thank you Green Day!

Giusey Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 This song is obviously trying to be the major pop hit of the record like 21 guns and BOBD, its aiming for that Cathartic feel, and trying to relate to emotional dilemmas that people face in their life and in my humble opinion, still breathing is trying too hard to connect with the people. It does not live up to the benchmark that 21 guns and bobd set Honestly Green Day are better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
