Green Day has a new album coming out on January 19, 2024 titled "Saviors". You can pre-order it here. The new single is Dilemma. Billie Joe Armstrong's vocals are outstanding on this and what I like best is you can feel the emotions he is trying to display. The song takes on addiction. You go on a journey with Armstrong. The second verse kind of puts it all in perspective;
"I was sober now I’m drunk again
I’m in trouble and in love again
I don’t want to be a dead man walking"
The first part of it is the addiction and the second part is about mental illness. Armstrong's vocals give you the impactthat these words have. The music matches it. The hard driving rhythm displays the pain of teh crucial momets he is going through. I like the band decided to take this on and send a message. The video is done in black and white, I think to bring more drama to the lyrics. When you hear them as you watch the video, all of it combines for an effective and intimate look to what it's like to be that person. Check it out below.
