Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day - I Think We're Alone Now [Cover Video]

- Dear friends..
While we’ve all been in quarantine I’ve been reflecting on the things that matter the most in my life. Family, friends and of course music. I recorded a cover of Tommy James and the shondells “I think we’re alone now” in my bedroom.
I figure if we have to spend this time in isolation at least we can be alone together.
Love BJ

Lyrics:
Children behave
That's what they say when we're together
And watch how you play
They don't understand
And so we're
Running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Look at the way we gotta hide what we're doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew
And so we're
Running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around

Welcome to No Fun Mondays. Going to release a cover song every week until we’re let back out into the world: bit.ly/33Vqbys
Love BJ
Your making quarentine so much more bearable!
I don't like mondays by the boomtown rats would be a good one Billy
Billie, do you accept a song request?
🐱
That's the BILLIE we know... always giving force to the spirits to keep breathing which is not easy in this days. Babylon is waiting for 'u and yours again! and the best crowd of the world also! Argentina! 'Funk' not dead hah

keep the covers coming man this is awesome!

Wrote the same thing as the description, that's right I still read the description of RUclips videos
i love you so much for doing this, stay strong bj
This needs an official release! I sat here grinning like an idiot the whole song!
No keep it here. Like a little secret
That's why they call us "idiot club", man
are you an American though?
I wouldn’t mind a 7” single of it
@@kiravikuckis6828 no I am not,
Billie Joe flat out just has the most beautiful voice ever
Icy Games I’ve never read a more true comment
And my voice is just flat out flat...
Agreed
And I am just flat
I still can't believe that Billie is in his late 40s.
He has so much energy for that age.
I love your pfp and username lmao
Why u talking like 40 is old
People who are in their fifties would call that a Backhanded compliment
If you don't know what that means GOOGLE it!
Ne ha 49 e sembra non invecchiare mai
It keeps Billie Joe Armstrong running.
Quarantine sucks but at least we have Billie Joe to listen to
Yea
damn right!!!
Amen
This isnt quarantine. If you were in true quarantine, you would be in a "quarantine facility."
Every time I hear Billie Joe, I'm that thirteen year old girl again rocking away. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Same ☺️
You call yourself a girl ?
I am 13 ;-;

Doesn't matter who performs this song it's always too short
truly! i've had it on loop for almost 15 minutes and it still feels like one song!
Good cover
That's what the repeat button is for. :3
This song gave me such a nostalgia vibe and it's even better that he made this in his bedroom, good job Billie I love it
Reminds of like an alter album mixed of AI and like 21st centurybd
@@stevenloeffler1266 how does it remind you of that?
@@wayne909 The production/mix, especially with the vocals
Same here. I’m Just 13 Don’t Know Why This Gives Me Nostalgia
First this song was in the umbrella academy, a show based off a comic written by Gerard Way (most well known as the singer of My Chemical Romance), and now billie joe covers it. This song is now blessed
They should use Billie's cover in the next series 😂😂
true
Love The Void omg that would be perfect
we stan mcr
We’ll Carr aye on
Billie Joe Armstrong could literally make any song sound good .
Except for the songs of their most recent album.
@Megan Rose I think so yeah. I mean it makes sense that you don't like a certain style. And it's totally normal for people to be disappointed when it's not what they expected to get. But just because it's not the old gd style doesn't mean that it's not good. Bands evolve and so does their music. We should all accept that and like their music for what it is. But of course you cant force people to like it.
@Megan Rose "Is it just because it doesn't sound like typical gd?"
Also yes
If you want more "Green Day", check out "Foxboro Hot Tubs". It's a side project with Billie, Mike and Tré 😂🤣
That's true bro

My 2 yr old son won't let me stop playing this song on repeat.... honestly.... kid... you got your music taste from your mama. 😁😘
It makes me so happy to know that there are still young fans out there :)
Awww it's my daughter's favorite too and now Billie covers it and she loves Green Day.
i love your kid so much lol. does he like My Chemical Romance or Blink-182?
It’s funny you say that, I got turned on to Green Day at 3 yrs. My sister is a big fan of Green Day and she bought the American Idiot CD 12 yrs ago. I can vividly remember that when she wasn’t there, I would use the CD to play the songs from the album even though I had no idea who they were at the time lol.
I was in a horrible mood and this just made my day. Hope it ends up on Spotify
Same here

1977 Rubinoos is my favorite version and the one I used to hear in high school, but I didn't know about all of these other versions.
@@Kimmer Rubinoos is definitely the best version!!!
The extremely quiet choruses contrasted with the lively and sort of chaotic rock nature of the song in general makes this cover really amazing. Every time I hear this rendition, I anticipate the choruses.

“Recorded in my bedroom”. I tell you what Billie.. Man, I love you! I wish I could record music in my bedroom like you do! Awesome cover. Think I’m gonna go and record a green day cover on Instagram now 😂
ooo i love watching those XD
I bet he has a lot better bedroom than most of us :D
I record music in my room as well. To emualte the low budget and crude nature of the recording, I usually mike the amps and do some of the instruments in one take. Several of the covers I put on the Oren Kage RUclips channel.
Whats your IG?
You can. All you have to do is do it. Don' tell yourself no. Music is for everyone, not just a few.
Green day could literally cover One Direction and Taylor Swift and i’d still listen to it
Hahah...nice one 😂
Ok I went through a one direction phase and I would honestly love for more covers of "I want"
That’s the problem
I have forever loved 1D and Green Day, so I’d listen to a Green Day cover of a 1D song.
Megan Rose Lmao then there is me who is emo and still listens to 1D while listening to a lot of rock music
I'm definitely crying. I'm not even ashamed.
@Fco B lmao what
Fully appreciate that this wasn't posted with a celebrity sob story about how difficult quarantine is in their giant house.
Nice one Billie!
Wholehearted agreement
I think everyone in Green Day has remained down to earth over the years. Unlike so many others who are negatively effected by fame & wealth. It can't be easy to not let it go to your head in some way. Maybe that's why when it does happen its so appreciated . And its Green Day with the hatrick for being & staying down to earth.😀💚
I am simple man. I read Green Day, I click
Simply yes.
Same! And Dead Kennedys🤘🏼🤘🏼
Amen
stop copying russian memes
Love your profic pic 🤘🤘🤘
I really hope Billie and the guys take this song to the studio once the quarantine is over!!! This is AMAZING
damn 3 years since this was released. this song gave me comfort in those closed off times. how’s everyone doing out there?
This sounds like it should have been on Shenanigans ❤️
Alana Layer I was thinking the same thing
Coen Merriman I know, their Shenanigans album has quite a few covers 😊
It's time for deluxe version with this song and DUI
Quarantine anthem for the world. 🌍 We're in this together!
Wash your hands and leave the house only if necessary
Billie Joe sure knows how to tug on my nostalgic heart string.
This needs a proper release with all the money raised going towards the fight against Covid-19
A Rock Against COVID album!
it got one too! NFM songs were released in an album!
I like this song a lot more than father of all. Rock on Green Day
Petition for a Billie Joe Live stream on youtube
yes, omg, yes :D
Green day is such a stunning band and will never be forgotten in my life anytime
이수정 I feel the same ❤️
What's to forget? Nobody has forgotten the Beatles lol
VegaRoseForever I personally think The Beatles are so overrated. Their music definitely doesn’t do anything for me. Green Day are such talented band and they are so underrated. Their music is timeless. Green Day has been around since the 1980s and still having hits in 2020. The Beatles were only around for ten years
@@aussiemusicfan0298 yeah and has anyone forgotten them?? And look at all they did in 10 years??!!! It was enough to last not only a generation but span a lifetime over. It's your opinion and you are more than entitled to it as am I. I was merely agreeing with you that Green Day will not be forgotten and they do rank up there with the Beatles for me. Yes, Green Day is very underrated and they deserve more than they get but unfortunately, this is not the way. People just don't appreciate art like this because they automatically see titles like Dookie and labels like punk or grunge and will simply dismiss music that would more than likely change their life for the better but everyone is listening to 6'9 or whatever his name is.
@@aussiemusicfan0298 sorry to say but beatles was on another level. You can't compare beatles to a punk band
Most uplifting, positive, beautiful shows we had ever been to! Thank-you green day for playing in London Ontario a few years back.
Hello, how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
Dear Mr. Armstrong. I have been having a real tough time with the quarantine but your music is really helping. I appreciate you everyday. Thanks for making the best music.
i just saw BJ's incredible living room preformance. Awesome! You are helping! Thanks again
Billie's voice sounds amazing in this song. The sound of this cover really reminds of old Green Day
Billie Joe Armstrong: King of Quarantine Music Videos
I've had this looping for over half an hour and I'm not sick of it yet. I love those background vocals during the last couple choruses-that's the cherry on top of this already full, pleasing mix.
It's weird how we all feel more united now rhat everyone's stuck at home. I guess you really knew something when you wrote "The say home is where your heart is, but that's a shame, cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same"
I like this comment
this deserves more likes
Isn’t that quote more about rejecting the notion of home is where your heart is, it would probably make more sense if you quoted it correctly with “it says “home is where your heart is” but what a shame, ‘cause everyone’s heart doesn’t beat the same” which is more about teenage angst of isolation rather than about coming togetger
💖
@@drageoksllechtim2078 Yeah, but right now when everyone is home it feels like everyone's heart beats the same. Noone's beating out of time right now. I've always seen this lyric as stating an issue (the one you mentioned) that needs to be fixed. And right now with everything unfortunate that's been going on it feels fixed for now. I could definitely be seeing it wrong tho
Finally billie isn’t covering up his voice with voice filters or distortion!!!!
He doesn't have filters in his bedroom 😁
Plot twist: All songs by billie are recorded in his bedroom and he does the voice filters and distortions naturally
@@pawle2336 I mean any filters or effects for his voice would be done during mixing and I'm more than 10000% sure Billie is able to do that in his laptop at home as easily as they do at their studio with one or two plugins lol.
Those pics from back in the day had me reminiscing about better days listening to the 1st three albums in 94 at 13 years old.
Omg his voice...❤ i really miss this voice from the Fater Of All album
Damn, this sounds professional almost (like he recorded in a studio and not just his room)
Probably has a mini-recording studio in his room lol
I bet he has a really nice room!
It's very 'quantised' so I'm guessing done with a computer / sequencer - which means it's definitely possible to have knocked it up in isolation.
@@daihatsu7869 Pretty clean vocals though too
@@daihatsu7869 Forgive my ignorance, but what does 'quantised' mean?
I love the voice of Billie Joe Armstrong, You are the Best Billie, and great cover i like it.
I still love this band after all these years
Laura Martin same👍
All the moments from their past albums, Green Day and Billie Joe Armstrong could never the memories, they had together for them to performed many songs live on stage for the audience like us to hear their music. Thank you, Billie Joe to performed this song for all of us who are staying home from not getting or sick from the corona-virus. We'll be alright! : )
WHAT I DIDNT EXPECT THIS AT ALL
Luca Cordone SAME
Ironically it sounds more like Green Day than Father of All
So true
Agreed. Wasn’t a fan of Father Of All at all
I liked father of all but yeah it was really different compared to traditional GD
Totally agree
Exactly
Children behave, that's what they say when we're together
And watch how you play
They don't understand
And so we're
Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another hands
Trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now,
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Look at the way we gotta hide what we're doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew
And so we're
Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another hands
Trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now,
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now,
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now,
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now,
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now,
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
the more I listen to the lyrics the more it sounds like they're running from a gay bashing
@@bell9265 I know right? Lol
Damn look at Baby Joel Armstrong, so frigging cute!
Billie is the one the world has always needed but never deserved.
Petition for this cover to be in umbrella academy s2

Nothing new under the sun. This was a favorite of mine back in the 1960’s by Tommy James and the Shondell’s. ❤️
Good cover.
Hello, how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
I clicked on this video so fast 💞 Billie has the voice of an archangel
Me: playing Animal Crossing during quarantine
Billie Joe Armstrong:
Doomguy : killing demon
Me: Trying desperately to find a Nintendo Switch to buy in the first place...
RandomGirl 2173 fr though i love animal crossing and i dont have a switch to play it on yet
beans
alexandra me too
Ok I just started tearing up listening to this, it’s been 22 years since my mom introduced me to Green Day. My mom loved this song so hearing you play it made my heart break... my mom died of cancer last year, so thank you for this.
Isham Hammer sorry for your loss. You’re mom had great taste in music
LOVE you, Billie, from Canary Islands (Spain)
Greeeeennn dayyy
I clicked as soon as I saw the notification

Im Green Day since I was a little kid. Always . Love you , Billie!
When we get back to a world that is even sort of normal after the covid plague and I think back to 2020 this song will be playing in my head.
Thankyou GD for the joy and love you have brought to so many over so many years. All the best from us in Australia
I am an Italian guitarist, when I grow up I would like to have a wonderful band like yours. I respect you a lot
Lorenzo Ceniviva io ho una band grazie a loro, li ho ascoltati e ho detto "cazzo voglio farlo anche io"
Io stavo per iniziare lezioni di chitarra e poi la settimana dopo hanno chiuso tutto not stonks
Complimenti
@@martinaiudicello LOL😂
Martina Iudicello ottimo, io dovevo registrare, fare due live e una intervista nella mia città... Super stonks😂
Do you know how much we all love you? This made my day! You are NEVER alone! Green Day songs are always playing...how can we ever be alone when we have you guys! You are a gift to this planet!
i watched umbrella academy in two almost on 1 day and song has been stuck in my head every since
A brilliant cover. It really extracts the rebellious elements of the lyrics. Two young lovers who don’t care about anything in the outside world.
Hey Billie, since we are all at home in quarantine, why don’t you release the original cigarettes and valentines songs to give us something awesome to listen to?
Carmine Martino YESSSS i wanna listen to it
I mean, most of them have been released as B side songs to American Idiot's singles, a few songs on Tre, and a couple other songs have basically just been updated versions. I'm pretty sure almost all of them have been released, so that'd just be a "new" album with old music...
Caesar ino yes, that’s true but I want to hear the original recording, with the original “sound” of the record. Not an “American idiot” or “the network” or “tre” sounding c&v song
Everybody like this comment, maybe if it gets enough likes they'll see it
When I was about 10, in 1978, I started to really get into music. Someone gave me one of those suitcase turntables and my Dad gave me his box of 45s from the 60s. Beatles, Grass Roots, The Who, The Association...the list goes on and on. Tommy James and the Shondells was also in there - this was one of my favorite songs in that box. Thanks for bringing back some sweet memories for me today 😊
I heard this on the radio yesterday. I really love it. Loved this song back in the day and love Green Day.
I've hated literally every cover of this song but FINALLY there's one that damn well I think surpasses the original, great job!
Just when I had overcome the fever for this song, Billie makes a cover of it... Well, another 3 months hooked on this song, thanks
I’ve listened to this like ten times today. I can’t wait to see Green Day in hershey on my birthday this summer
I've had tickets since the pre-sale last summer and hoping like hell the tour and EVERYTHING is back to normal by then !!!!!!! Top of my bucket list !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This IS a green day song in another reality.
I don’t know why but when ever I listen to this song I get heavy nostalgia
We want this in spotify too!
Maybe in Billie's page, with the songs that he made in his collaboration with Norah jones
Sucks, as green day is not available in my region in it.
@@kunalsharma2098 suvks to be in India eh?

It is now!!!
@@rahe2141 no longer now friend this lockdown we have them now finally! 💚💚
AYEEE THIS IS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT NEVER CLICKED ANYTHING SO FAST
This just made me so happy out of nowhere. All the love for green day forever and ever and ever
I love the way his voice has changed over the years. He always had an awesome but his voice is better now then it’s ever been.
something i didn’t know i needed
just wondering how bedroom recording could be in this quality, then i realize that its billie joe's bedroom :")
Where the magic happens
True, it is Billy Joel's bedroom. However, keep in mind that Billie Eilish recorded all but two songs from her debut album on her brother's computer at their family home.
The environment has literally nothing to do with how well a song sounds. It's all about the knowledge, skill and resources available. I mean, even if an artist were to spend a fuckload of money recording in a professional studio, it doesnt guarantee it's gonna win a bunch of Grammy's, right?
@@AblissMusic yas correct, i meant its billie joe doing what he loves with that level of gear in his bedroom is what makes this cover amazing, perfect combination
@@GabrielFowler That dosent make me feel any better about billie eillish, I still think shes shite
man this song makes me feel im back in my high school just rocking to this song
Fml!!! I was thinking the exact same way as I read this lmfao!!!!!
i can’t believe this was released almost a year ago.
I need a 10 hour loop of this
Holy hell they did a great job making this sound like classic Green Day
Aside from Billie Joe gifting us good music to help us get through pandemic, he also gifted us these precious and blessed 90s Green Day pictures. They're all so cute
This song is timeless.
I love green day ❤️❤️❤️
Hope everyone stay safe 🙏
Please don’t cancel the shows in Asia 😢

Hopefully this virus won't get in the way of Hella Mega...

Unfortunately, it almost certainly will...
everyday, i'm waiting for that other shoe to drop, i think the best we can hope for is postponement the way things are going
I feel like if that happens we’re gonna get another Green Day album. Billie is gonna feel too bad and is gonna make it happen if this whole thing gets postponed.
It better hadn't! I hope the nightmare's gone by then!
This made perfect my day
I sometimes forget how much I need his voice in my life
I this so much. I love Green Day. They've helped through the toughest times. Helped me smile, inspired me, and made me feel like I'm not alone. Thank you Tre, Mike, BJ. Thank you Green Day
