Green Day - Forever Now (Lyrics)

[@samippuri5473]

"if this is what you call a good life I want a better way to die" this line is just just superb

[@izzuai1969]

Samip Puri agreed

[@yacinekara6608]

It makes me think of how some religious people live

[@zeroatlast]

living authentically

[@thewaft7589]

Fucking hell, how does a band so old make a song as good as this? Inexplicable. This is easily one of their best songs

[@robertamorda7131]

I completely agree with you!

[@Absynthe23]

I love this song just as I loved Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming.

[@dilldozar296]

Knowing Green Day this song was probably written around that same time. They love to release songs years late.

[@reedm60]

My favorites too!!

[@arlenecetra2519]

Me too..all the multiparts songs of greenday..

[@recordx6246]

After Billie Joe has his breakdown at the Iheart Radio festival he came out and expressed his substance abuse with alcohol, and his moving forward with therapy. I think this album is all about how Billie wants to keep the old life he had of going crazy and starting things up and causing chaos, but he has to cope with being part of an ordinary world. In somewhere now he describes the pain of being part of a world he doesn’t like anymore. Going to therapy for substance abuse and living life normally is killing him. He then goes off in “Bang Bang” and “Revolution Radio” about the excitement of starting revolutions and shaping his life the way he wants to. He then spins off in “Still Breathing” where he describes how painful his life is going through his therapy, and withdrawal, and suicide, but that he’s still alive. He reasons with himself more in “Too Dumb to Die” and describes how he longs for his old life, and how he wants to kill himself, but knows that both of those desires are unreasonable and impossible if he wants to move foreword. It finally builds to “Forever Now” where Billie goes into full freak out mode. He doesn’t believe the normal life he’s living to be part of the good life. He wants to keep living the way he used to, with his revolutions, and loud mouthed opinions, and nights of drinking and drugs, but knows that’s not what life should be about. He is “standing at the edge of the world” which is really just another metaphor for his life. He wants to start a revolution, and be able to think nothing of the future and live like he used to, but that’s all in the past. Now he has to live in an ordinary world.

[@dilldozar296]

Did you really just say “He came out about his drug use”???? They’ve been writing songs about meth since the 90s chief. 🤦‍♂️

[@chrisjiensonenao4356]

damn thats one hell of an explanation

This song is my favorite Greenday song ever!

It shows huge personal growth for Billie Joe. Fantastic record all in all. Sounds like it's the most personal since Insomniac.

[@username-lp7ld]

It has a "Letterbomb" feel in the first part, then a "Homecoming" feel in the second. It makes for a good nostalgic feel from American Idiot

[@katschmitt7149]

I swear Green Day will never die down, they are punk as ever

[@patrickbellave3273]

Green Day is my favorite band but they are rock and roll not punkrock

[@Kalterkard]

They died a few weeks (Months?) ago. Because they released Father of All.

[@Kalterkard]

@@patrickbellave3273 They are punk rock. Rock and roll isn't even a type of music.

[@rigzinbhutia7467]

@@Kalterkard nope green day and billie joe are immortals they never die just adapt,#no fun mondays they are still loved.

[@Insanity_Potato]

@@rigzinbhutia7467 nah father of all is definitely the beginning of the end for green day. or more accurately the middle, the trilogy was the beginning.

@TIGGY ZARS this song has three sections my friend he is putting a timestamp for it.

I swear, they need to do more multiple part songs

[@nromnic]

3:58 Somewhere Now Reprise

[@Vinc54s]

The 2:27 part is just epic af

[@anavictoriaescobedo3783]

It's like the OMG that's the fucking true-part all their songs use to have

[@vwz8625]

El Desmentidor De Niños Rata my favorite part is that and when Billie says somwhere now

[@marcinziokowski565]

Long time ago there was a nice punkrock band. They called GREEN DAY. Many bands played this kind of music in the early 90' : Bad religion, Offspring, Rancid but the most important things were still to come. In 2004 the situation changed a lot. Green day recorded the awesome album "American Idiot" and from this time the have become one of the most important rock bands of all time. The have been increasing their possibilities since then. The songs like: Jesus of Suburbia, Homecoming, Boulevard of broken dreams, Whatsername, 21 guns and so more are showing their genius. They are becoming the legend. The new album Revolution Radio in my opinion is in line with American Idiot and 21-st century breakdown - all are rock masterpieces. And Forever now is one of the best rock songs ever, the same with Somewhere now and this connection between Somewhere Now and Forever Now - fantastic. Who was able to predict such genial and long (7-10 minutes) great punk rock songs - the are awesome. Green Day - do what you do until it hurts....

[@ariesismygod3309]

Marcin Ziółkowski that's amazing. Also.. that sounds like anew report😂

[@andriyyurchyna8195]

🤣🤣

[@andriyyurchyna8195]

Most important thing was in 94 moron when dookie hit the globe

[@patricknealon6472]

Out of the five songs I've heard so far this is the best one.

[@SparkieBunnie]

I also like Still Breathing.

[@maryjanealvarez1977]

SparkieBunnie yep

[@MicheleCiondoloTV]

one of the best green day songs..

[@rockstarjay1353]

MicheleCiondoloTV yes it's my favorite

[@confusedaxolotl7833]

"I'm running late to somewhere now, where I dont want to be," this line hits me harder than it should.

[@barborapacigova7145]

I love the first sentence 😂 "My name is Billie and I'm freaking out" 😂 and then "I'm like an punk rocker on labor day" 😍😍😂

[@haushinkax4643]

Samee!!

[@PeachysMom]

yeah you can't deny those soaring melodies. just beautiful.

[@robertspencer4988]

Cpt Owly do you even know what this song is about?

[@greenearmstrong4204]

When they played this song in Mexico last November he changed the lyric to "I'm like a punk rocker in Mexico" that sounds awesome!!

[@theguyyoullseebutneverknow6276]

"I want to start a revolution. I wanna hear it on my radio." I love that reference.

[@maxihetfield6635]

The way in which Forever now joins into "Somewhere now" it's just.. damn amazing! This is for sure the best of the best in Revolution radio :D

[@maeve7634]

"I never learned to read or write so well, but I can play the guitar until it hurts like hell" I love this man so much ugh ❤️

[@safwanalvi8887]

This song is sooo underrated. Deserves at least 50M views. Brillant lyrics, awesome vocals, and epic guitar. I love Green Day!

[@blackcharles1996]

I don't know why I find this song sad, I think it sounds like a farewell , Billie please don't gooooo!!

[@user-hr7nm4td1s]

Jack Leo exactly

[@celabsaywer2631]

god I hope its not a farewell

[@Absynthe23]

Don't worry. Billie has been saying farewell since Good Riddance ;)

[@blackcharles1996]

***** actually Good Riddance is a farewell to Amanda

[@robertspencer4988]

Billie Bob Streep he is singing about regret for selling his soul. It's amazing how nobody picks up on this!! He even says he didn't want to comprise or bargain with his soul. You people need to wake up and really read these lyrics

[@dfahr9442]

When i heard "If this is what you call a good life" part i felt that something started to break inside of me

[@user-hr7nm4td1s]

D Fahr its the punk breaking out!!! EMBRACE it!

[@spunksarmy7928]

D Fahr That Melody in this line is so fucking Beautiful I never heard something smiliar by green day it's Fantastic

[@PeachysMom]

OMG yes! and when I heard the emerging pulse of "Ain't gonna stand in line no more... Ain't gonna stand in line no more..." Oh, just enraged joy!

[@spunksarmy7928]

[@ogcodvideos6546]

Andrei Borodaenko 21st CB had a shit ton of bangers

[@martintemelkov]

Reminds me a bit of Dirty Rotten Bastards. Although Mike's bass solo in DRB is irreplaceable. I love how they've linked this song to the first song of RevRad (Somewhere Now) though. Brilliant that.

[@danieldeitz429]

SomeGuyFromBristol i think 99 eevolutions was the best from the trilogy and should have been the lead single over oh love

[@luluwerner]

Personally, I love the trilogy. Sure, it has some meh songs on it, but my favorites are: Fell for you, Kill the Dj, Carpe Diem, Stray Heart, Wow! Thats Loud, Ashley, Lazy Bones, Amanda, Missing you

[@luluwerner]

The first mistake they made was to make Oh Love a single. That song lacks of everything. Fell For You would have made a great single imo

[@ariesismygod3309]

Martin Temelkov they did the same with 21sr century Brakdown

[@drifterblake8637]

You're all full of it. Every Green Day album is good all the way thru, hardly any other band or shitty solo artist can or have ever been able to do that! Quit being so offended by their beliefs and the fact that every song isnt as good as Jesus of Suburbia or Longview!

[@НейтральныйМаппер-з2м]

@@pawle2336 if everything would be this dope. Sadly, but aging is a problem for vocalists, and you can see it on the latest green day's concerts. I love this band, but Billie started screaming way more than he did, and it's not healthy for voice, also the quality of singing got lower. I think if Billie would go to some cool vocal coach he could be as good as he was on 'awesome as fuck' or 'bullet in a bible'

I really want them to make a movie about the band and Billie joe Armstrong like Bohemian rhapsody for queen, Rocketman for Elton John, and Walk the line for Johnny cash.
