Misery by Green Day with lyrics

[@myc3lium_m852]

this is the kind of song that you hear once and then immediately go and listen to it over and over again until you have the entire song memorized

[@maryknill9262]

listen to la viva Glorai by Greenday, just as cool, with the old italian style.

[@maryknill9262]

Mary Knill it gets stuck in my head, and yes, i know the words..sing it out loud some days, but I sound like shit...

[@JenKMusic01]

So, I've been looking at the comments and seeing a whole lot of fuss about Green Day copying My Chemical Romance and all that jazz. First of all, this song was made in 2000. 'Mama' by MCR was made in 2006. Before y'all start accusing one band of copying the other, y'all better do some research 'cause assuming things and making accusations when you don't know all the facts is how pointless fights start. Oh, and while both songs are similar, both are very different. This songs talks about people being in misery and taking things to extreme measures while 'Mama' basically talks about how we're all going to hell. This song in particular was written about some people Billie Armstrong knew. 'Mama' was written because someone had supposedly bet that Ray couldn't write a polka tune. So please stop fighting over this thing and just listen to the music, okay? That's what the music's here for, anyway, for people who like it to listen to it and enjoy it, not to argue over who's better, or who's copying who. Just saying. Rant = Over.

[@OHMyResistance]

+JK funny how some people consider two songs of a similar genre "copying". -_-

[@JenKMusic01]

dewie indeed. stuff like that makes me wonder why I bother reading comments at all..

[@katk8217]

i don't even think the 2 songs sound alike. just because they have a similar vibe doesn't mean they sound the same.

[@JenKMusic01]

I agree

[@mariafrasier2825]

+JK while what you said is true. Mama is actually about the life of a soldier but still both are very different

It is their best album. But people were disappointed because they wanted punk.

[@ace_w_peck]

It's not their best, but still a solid album. Maybe it'd be more appreciated if another band did it.

[@MetalPersonJ]

There's great songs like this on Warning, but there's uninspired crap like Hold On and Jackass, and Fashion Victim on there too.

I don't know why but this song makes me feel like I'm at a creepy circus. But it's cool pretty sure this song could apply to many other things. I love it and will keep listening until I have it memorized.

[@jongon0848]

It has that eerie otherworldly sound we're not use to but it sounds so hypnotic and unique, u can't help but love it

[@andreroberson6554]

Sounds like a Halloween song

[@skasisparadigm1]

Such great commentary on short-term gratification, not to mention that bumbling, happy-go-lucky, circus sound with dark and sadistic undertones that contrasts the message of the lyrics beautifully: sure, the drugs make you feel great, but if you need them to feel happy, then there's usually much darker forces, and experiences, at work within the mind of the user. Without a doubt, it's one of the most profound, if not the most profound, songs Green Day has ever produced. Absolutely love it.

this song tells a story like some sort of burton/Tarantino crossover movie

[@jongon0848]

For some reason I picture a circus

[@hunterglass1015]

I’m Batman

[@JustFour4Laughs]

Sometimes the songs can send a message such as "Life will get better" or "There is always something worth living for." Or the songs may explain how someones feeling, and it makes them realize that they aren't alone, and that can sometimes turn them around. To be honest, Green Day has saved my life. Their songs about losing people, made me realize how much people would miss me, and how much hell I would put my mom through. See? a band can save a life. Maybe not the band, but at least their songs.

[@samporter7018]

[@thefreshexpress8615]

Warning is not the best

[@chikinonfrydai]

warning is great but it’s nowhere near their best album

[@MysticClaws100]

I like the albums that others dislike (Warning, 21CB, Uno/Dos/Tré) because they sound different and are not all the same sounds like Dookie. I still like the other albums as well, of course, but I like Green Day when they experiment as well.

[@StrollerGames]

This sound kinda reminds of Peacemaker from 21st Century Breakdown. I don't know why exactly, maybe because of the 'ay ay' thing.

[@MysticClaws100]

I like Nimrod too :)

[@TheRobertPorter]

MysticManiac100 21st century breakdown is AMAZING. I don't get peoples hatred towards it.

[@PaulMcCartneyBass1]

***** They're both in Bminor and the chords are also almost the same.. maybe that's why

[@extersugar5209]

Ey br0ski

[@iwannapolarbear7]

+Pink guy You are justice.

[@LongDongSilver420]

+Pink guy True true, The autism is strong in this one. However I must go out and say that this rhythm (The Bun-bah-bun-bah sorta sound) comes from old Russian music and culture of the Eastern Europe area of the world. It's like their version of the classic drum beat that's in like every 80's music, the base and snare on the quarter notes and hi-hat keeping time in eights. Its the same cliche sort of scenario. So in a way neither of these bands came up with the beat and the MCR song does only use it for a few measures. Green Day utilized it for the whole song. So I mean you can't really blame either or for it.

[@Angel-pi6ng]

+Jack Campbell Yes, all it needs is a balalaika to be complete

[@edyoung2621]

Why wasn't this song on rockband. It would be a great challenge on drums and guitar

[@thehypershadow7126]

Because "Warning!" did HORRIBLY sales wise. It made the least amount of money out of any Green Day album and was torn apart by critics and fans at the time. Because of this, they were scared of putting stuff from Warning on there but they put the 1 or 2 songs that did good on Warning and were remembered well.

[@edyoung2621]

True. But that should've been for the hardcore fans such as myself. And I'm sure your a hardcore fan also. This song would have been an amazing challenge for a 100% on drums and guitar.

[@maryknill9262]

ed young I'm on board, dudes

[@nixter417]

The Hyper Shadow I wonder why, warning is one of my favorite green day albums. The melodies are top notch, and the appearence of folk mixed in adds a little grit to spice the music up. The title song as well as minority, are no where near the best songs on the album in my opinion, don't know why those made it. Life is weird I guess.

[@jamescrouch540]

I do agree with all of you. Warning is good but not quite on par with the rest of their albums.

@TheAlxxHydeShow "Anyone else reminded by Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar) by The Doors?" It certainly does, there are many modern songs that are vary similar to Whiskey Bar, Such as MCR's Mama and Gogol Bordello's Start Wearing Purple and considering that it was originally written in 1929 makes it one of the longest songs to hold a significant influence on modern music, almost a century after it's release.
