solongfromthestars Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 This is what I have for the lyrics so far. I am rather emotional so I may have several things wrong I'm like a child looking over the horizon I'm like an ambulance turning on the sirens Oh, I'm still alive I'm like a solider coming home for the first time I dodged a bullet and I walked across a landmine Oh, I'm still alive Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding from the storm? Just shine a light into the wreckage So far away, away, away 'Cause I'm still breathing 'Cause I'm still breathing on my own My head's above the rain and roses Making my way, my way 'Cause I'm still breathing 'Cause I'm still breathing on my own My head's above the rain and roses Making my way, my way, my way to you I'm like a junkie dying off for the last time I'm like a loser that's betting on his last dime Oh, I'm still alive I'm like a son that was raised without a father I'm like a mother barely keeping it together Oh, I'm still alive Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding from the storm? Just shine a light into the wreckage So far away, away, away 'Cause I'm still breathing 'Cause I'm still breathing on my own My head's above the rain and roses Making my way, my way 'Cause I'm still breathing 'Cause I'm still breathing on my own My head's above the rain and roses Making my way, my way, my way As I walk down all the ??? Are you scared to ???? I've been running all my life (No idea what the next two lines are!) All the truth that's in the message Making my way, away, away 'Cause I'm still breathing 'Cause I'm still breathing on my own My head's above the rain and roses Making my way, my way 'Cause I'm still breathing 'Cause I'm still breathing on my own My head's above the rain and roses Making my way, my way, my way to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a little bit but I think it's right You're gonna have to work out the timing.. the bottom note constantly plays while the top note plays on every other beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaraGreenDay Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Wow, this song just made me cry. Yeah, it's very different from what they always do but oh god, the lyrics, it just simply hits you, "my head's above the rain and roses", since that interview with RS I haven't stop thinking of what he said and that was one of the reasons why I wanted to hear this song, and Billie's voice sounds so beautiful, I just want to give him a hug. Rev Rad it's gonna be so emotional, to me, at least. This song it's gonna be difficult to listen to on the bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabot_girl Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I haven't listened to it yet.. I've been so happy about them doing it more DIY and having Tim as a director of their video....and now they have collaborated with what!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heart on a noose Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Billie has the most beautiful voice and this is not fangirl speaking. I'm so glad that he became musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solongfromthestars Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 What does it matter if it's poppy, anyway? It doesn't devalue the quality or emotion of the song. I'm glad Green Day don't think they're "above" writing a poppy song just because they're considered a rock/punk band. I will enjoy watching the all the "punks" rage over something they don't have to listen to though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stories and songs Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I totally understand why people are taken aback or aren't fans of it. When people didn't like a song like RevRad I was a bit confused, because that was so, SO Green Day in its purest form that I couldn't understand how people could think otherwise. But people have reason to be skeptical of this one. It IS rather unexpected, particularly from the, "We just wanted to be Green Day" idea—if you take that to mean "Let's do our typical sound." But the fact that they try new things and sample different genres and stretch themselves is what makes them stand apart from a lot of other rock bands that crank out the same stuff year after year. To me, it's what makes them who they are. Trying out a sound they've never tried before is TOTALLY Green Day. I respect the opinions of those who don't like it and understand where they're coming from, but damn. This song goes straight through my heart.

Marki. Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Wow, this was not what I expected to hear. I didn't like the beginning on the first listen, but the whole song's already growing on me. I can't deal when Billie sings "my head's above the rain and roses". It's going to be even better and a lot more powerful live imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
