MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1 – intro to “Brain Stew”)

Back on April 10th, 1996…
Green Day gave us a two-for-one single –
“Brain Stew”… and “Jaded.”

(Music Cut #2 – intro to “Jaded”)

These two songs are basically inseparable —
twins from the same moment.

At the time, Billie Joe had just become a father…
and was dealing with insomnia.

That’s “Brain Stew.”

(Music Cut #3 – line from “Brain Stew” – “I’m having trouble trying to sleep”)

And then “Jaded” is what comes next –
the aftermath.

When you’ve been awake too long…
and everything starts to feel a little off.

(Music Cut #4 – line from “Jaded” – “Somebody keep my balance, I think I’m fallin’ off
Into a state of regression”)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Always move forward
Goin’ straight will get you nowhere” – Green Day – “Jaded”
