Harry Potter. Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 It sounds cliché because Billie is drowning in his own clichés. I'm glad people are starting to realize because this might finally compel him to pick up a dictionary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that. But what he did was borrow the melody of It Could Have Been Me. Therefore, he gave them writing credits. They did not help write the lyrics, it was a borrowed melody. Just like he gave Sam Cooke writing credits for Brutal Love. Billie wrote this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platypus2000 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I liked it when it was first released, the chorus and the bridge are the best parts about it, the verses kinda bore me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere Man Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I don't understand one thing. This song is controversial but mostly loved and praised. Why then Lazy Bones didn't get such a reaction? Both songs are very personal - the first one desribes the state of BJ durin the trilogy era, the second one - during RR era. Even musically they are sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21guns&novacaine Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I need to hear this song live. Maybe the next show? But knowing them, they'll hold out on it just because they know people want to hear it, Dirty Rotten Bastards, for example. Amazing song, never played it live.

Christian's Inferno! Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Still Breathing has reached 2 million views on YouTube btw. It's almost passed Revolution Radio's lyric video in views Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 This should be the next official single for sure. If a song like BANG BANG can reach #1, Still Breathing could make the album a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second favourite son Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 This song is a perfect example of how a bassline doesn't need to be complex to make a huge impact. That second verse is just wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stories and songs Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hands down, the most passionate I've ever seen them perform live was playing this song. Really, really moving. I didn't know what to do with myself, because I really wanted to just listen to the song but I also wanted to sing along to let them know how much I love it, too.
