To me, punk has always been about doing whatever the fuck you want to do and not letting anyone tell you otherwise. Billie Joe has always done that, and I am so stoked for this album because it is Billie Joe doing what he wants to do, just like everything else he has always done. It's just an added bonus that Norah Jones is on it because I love her voice and her style. I cannot wait for this album!
Spot on!
This is my song for many reasons
Incredible that an iconic punk rock superstar is providing better country music than most of what comes out of Nashville these days. Didn't expect such a great country song from Billie Joe.
Absolutely agree. Too beautiful
I think NORAH calmed his arse down. Always look for a calm lady buddy. I raised boys.
You should look up The Knitters.
Love this, Billie Joe appreciates all types of music genres, nothing wrong with that
Billie joe's voice is really good for country music
Billie's voice is really good for... every kind of music.
ExpTube1969 he can even scream
Zak Agar This reminds me, Tre can growl.
sarah tennant He can do hardcore 80's punk sound (Take Back from Nimrod) and super smooth soothing 1960's country (this). He can do so many great singing voices.

Man that dude Billie Joe Armstrong can do anything!
I fail to understand why people are complaining about BJA doing this. If anything you should be happy that he's flaunting his vocal flexibility which has turned out to be gorgeous. If you don't like it, go back to listening to Green Day's stuff and stitch your minds a little tighter.
Side note: I'm a die hard fan of both Green Day and Norah Jones. :)
This is an answer to all those who say Billie's voice isn't good.
7101998GreenDay However the "Billie Joe is a pussy" debate still rages on.
armatageshanks06 The iHeart thing was an answer for that.
7101998GreenDay Whining like a teenage girl is badass huh?
armatageshanks06 Which teenage girl has the spunk to curse 21 times in a minute on television?
***** Actually, he isn't the best singer. To be fair, he is slightly above average, but there are people who say he sucks, this proves them wrong.
(Billie Joe is my #1) One side of me says Billie what are you doing. However, the other side, only the greatest musicians can execute all styles of music to perfection.
I don't see why some Green Day fans are hating on this. I mean, do you people just listen to Green Day and "punk rock" all day long? Taking influence from what's already mainstream has created some of the world's shittiest mainstream rip-offs like Sum-41, New Found Glory, and Simple Plan. It's classics like these that created the Ramones and the Clash. This is what Green Day drew their influence from - not what was already mainstream. It's music like this that will continue to create the great bands in the world, and those who recycle the works of those great bands will always be sub-par. Similarly, it's 50s and 60s music that really charges my creativity and motivation.
I agree with you fully on this argument except for your inclusion of Sum 41. They're actually brilliant and don't deserve to be in the same sentence as New Found Glory and Simple Plan. :D
Darren Mc Eneaney Thank you. I think people are missing the point. Metallica didn't used to listen to 'heavy metal' before they became a band.
@@Junkpunker21 I'm late to this but, Sum-41's actually good. I do agree with everything else you said though. I'm going to be honest I don't know the other two bands.
I didn't check every comment, but I went through at least a hundred and didn't find a negative one. I would say BJA brought his fans with him on this.
AMEN!!!! ❤️🙏
RIP Phil Everly. Thank you for the timeless music. And thank you Norah and Billie for keeping the music going...
On this song some people ask "what the hell were you thinking" Billie Joe Armstrong. For me, I find this to be the most punk rock act he has done. He sings because he wants to sing that song..not because he has to sing a certain type of music for you, the industry, or to sell music. If you think about it, the people complaining about this new songs from him not fitting their 'style' sounds the same as the top 40, big corporations who tell the artist what to sing and how to sing it. Rock on Billy.
There's a difference between old country, and modern country. Old country is where it's at.
Billy Joe came across the Everly Brother's Album, "Songs Our Father Sang", and liked it. He envisioned he and Norah Jones doing this, and here it is! I'm shocked at the number of people who say Green Day was never punk. They were very punk, and have gone on to be a great rock band. Billy Joe's voice is amazing. It shows real cajones to step so far out of his comfort zone. Amazing CD!
Lol, Mea culpa
Songs Our Daddy Taught Us
The most unlikely, but the most perfect collaboration. Love this so much
i like their conceptual approach. country gold
This album certainly "captures" the Everly sound. Phil and Don would be proud of this cover. It's nice to hear the songs performed with the benefit of today's technology. Great sound.
This is just incredible! Being a HUGE Everly brothers fan this is so awesome to hear this these days!
I was REALLY skeptical when I heard about this, because I don't think anyone should cover Everly songs. But they sound amazing!
True!
Billie Joe has the kind of voice that can sing any genre and manage to sound amazing singing each and every one of them.
I'm in a coffeehouse when I heard this .... about freaked out ... I'm 61 and hadn't heard anything so perfect in years .... they nail it .
This is beautifully done; it's sounds like what you'd hear from musicians back in the day like Elvis, Johnny Cash, Nancy Sinatra. I love it.
When I saw these two names listed together, I thought WTF?!!!! But what a wonderful surprise. Love it. Lots. Can't stop playing it.
I was thinking the same.
I honestly may start listening to country now because Billie Joe
I think it's beautiful. Why do people always get at Billie when he tries something different? People are so ignorant and narrow minded, he's making the most of his life.
una vera scoperta!!!io venero Billie Joe, con Norah..stupendi
Brilliant !!!! I woke up this morning listening to NPR...11/25/2013, and heard this. As a 62 year old Everly Bros. fan for life I was amazed....Phil and Don were born to sing together...and so were Joe and Norah !!!!
Same experience here. NPR brought me here. Everly's are awesome and I enjoyed them even though I'm much younger. Armstrong and Jones did this so well. Love that a pop punk rocker has the breadth to go this direction.
Just because he's doing different genre songs doesn't mean he's changing or "drunk" or anything. He's just making covers of songs that he likes. People shouldn't tell him what to do or what to sing. He can sing whatever he wants. So let him. The song is really great.
When I think about Billie back when I used to listen to him as a snarling, snotty, spitting punk and how much he has grown and evolved with my own musical tastes I just about die happy.
Foreverly is something different. Foreverly is something that's here to stay. Norah and Billie Joe pairing up is new and as skeptic as I was, I'm loving this single for now. Placed my pre-order. ☺
this sounds great like the 50s and billie joe is trying to bring the 1950s back to this future in time yes indeed
2 amazing artist for an UNglobal UNcommercial project, finally! w the real music!
On my birthday a magnificant album was brought out !!!
Love it. Been a Green Day fan in Tennessee a long time, and it awesome to see mu opposing styles come together. Billie Joe has once again broke barriers, much like when I heard my family listening to Good Riddance years ago, and seeing how he united the punks and mainstreamers. Keep at it! and good to see B.J. clear minded!
No one can singing like Don and Phil!
But Norah and Billie Joe came nearly.
Fantastic.I´m a Everly Fan, but that´s the finest tribute to theEB
Folks on here saying they hate country but like this song... look up some real country! The stuff you hear on the radio these days is not country music. Look up Skeets McDonald. Ernest Tubb. Eddie Noack. Loretta Lynn. Hank Sr. Charline Arthur. That's the good stuff that Billie and Norah are talking about. And I think they did a great job with this record.
I absolutely love it. I've loved Green Day for years, I loved Foxboro Hot Tubs, and I love this. Always been a fan of older country/ folk songs and that style of music. Johnny Cash is my hero, and that Billie Joe has chosen to continue to follow his passion makes me love him even more (which I didn't know was possible). Haha.
Everly Brothers Forever! Carry on Billie Joe and Norah! Spot on! :)
The Everly's had something special from the beginning, saw them live 3 times fantastic
oh i love it.....even not being a fan of country music....i've always been a mad fan of green day punk rock music......hearing billy like this is also a 'wow' for me.....i support him for this eternal everly brother's revolution.......keep it up billy....but make a new green day album quick.......we're waiting for this album and green day new punk rock album!!!!!! oh gosh! ye make go mad........luv ye foreverly billy!
billie not billy!!
oh....sorry...
I left east coast canada to drive all the way to the west coast listening to that almost everyday; "cuz' when I leave, I'll be a long time gone!".
This further emphasizes the incredible range of music Billie can sing. He is extremely talented and so is Norah! Not my kind of music but wow, beautiful voices.
This song. Over and over and over and over and over and over.
I grew up listening to the Everly Brothers. Norah & Billie brought back memories of them. Love their music.
Love this song - great tribute to The Everly Brothers.
Norah Jones is just High-Class!
Dwoje wspaniałych muzyków, którzy spotkali się w duecie - przecież to musiało być dzieło sztuki. Wspaniali, nadzwyczajni, niezwykle utalentowani.
Oh my god Billie.. Regardless what you sing it's amazing..
So many comments about Billie Joe, and Green Day and so few about Nora. It's the duet that makes this great. Harmony takes at least two.
billie joe is one of the best singers and now with nora this song is awesome
I'm a die hard greenday fan. And no matter what billie does i will always listen to what he does.
Excuse you. I can hear both of their beautiful voices. (Which accompany each other BRILLIANTLY I might add)
This is perfect, just absolutely perfect.
The whole album is perfection.
I love country, I love Norah Jones and I love Billie Joe Armstrong. Oh, goddamnit :')
Ok to all of the "supposed" GD fans, if you don't like it then don't complain on here. There isn't just one genre of music there are tons more than just punk. Musicians are inspired by all kinds of music not just one type and you all complaining certainly do not understand music at all. Billie and Norah's voices put together would never be expected especially by me but I just heard it right now and it's amazing! So stop complaining cause guess what? Nobody cares about what you hate or don't hate. If you're a fan of Billie at least support him in all the different projects he does.
What a harmony.
I honestly just think that this is the best and I can't wait to buy the album and have something that my parents and I BOTH like
The most unlikely duet will always cut down the rest!! Best duet ever.
Wow - great harmony - beautiful job. I think the Everly Brothers must have been thrilled to be remembered and honored with this rendition.
I heared a lot of things and loved the Everly Brothers since they were on the radio. Glad to hear a second generation punk rocker and a jazz singer break out in a way that reminds me of my home north of Bowling Green. I do pine for home when I heared this.
This is absolutely beautiful. I can not WAIT to hear the rest of the album.
as a fan of all things Americana (i grew up on a ranch in rural Oklahoma) and the vintage music like this i grew up absorbing via osmosis from my dad and grandparents, i think it sounds absolutely organic and they sing/blend fantastically together...i love it.
From punk to country, wow He's just amazing
I remember when Billie said that he hated country music and the fact that his mom used to listen to it when he was a kid.
Eh, I wouldn't call this country, just country-influenced.
The People change
I also remember when I said I hated country and blues and all that kind of stuff, and look at me now, I listen to is all day
WHEN?! IN 90. ? xD
Guess what...this isn't country. This was rock and roll in the fifties. And as artists mature, so do their tastes in music.
This always brings you back to the one that got away.
I am a huge green day fan but I am loving billie's voice in this song!
It's good to see 2 singers from completely different genre's come together and sing a song so good together! Very impressive :)
Doesn't matter what you think of either. That was a perfect blending of voices. Perfection.
This is what real country is supposed to sound like, glad these two paired up. I am a huge Green Day fan but also a country fan so this is perfect!
great vocals!! they play this on cbc 2 alot rip phil everly i hope he heard this recording before he passed!
Never thought I would here billie joe singing country as a complete greenday fan but it is beautiful billie you truly can sing everything!!
It's a typical north american song... A truly country music... Billie Joe must be very influenced by this kind of music... nice partnership BJ... congrats, you are a great musician!
if you're imagining Billie Joe in Greenday songs, you wouldn't believe he could sing like this :)
NorahBillie
I miss the mid 2010s for songs like this?
This is an absolutely brilliant cover.
Billy Joe and Norah's voices blend together so beautifully. This really has been an unexpected suprise!.
After I listen, this song still in my head
I love Billie in this style!
Personally, I think that it's a good thing that a musician like Billie open his mind to different styles of music, it shows that he's not just a punk rocker from the 1990's :)
I heard this song for the first time today on the national radio 2 in Belgium and I like it a lot from the first time. Fantastic
Warner Bros Records:First,thanks for posting this video. Truly,there are many reasons why this is great. This Everly Brothers song was/is already a classic. With Billie Joe Armstrong/Norah Jones performing it here,it's even better. Listening to it,you hear the beat and soul inside it. Really well done. Once again,thanks for posting this video.
Billie will last forever.. He's the perfect definition of ARTIST:) Great song
Billie Joe has so much talent his voice and Norah goes toghether perfectly
This is just too beautifullll I dont even believe in my earsss!!!
Their voice just blend so well! Excellent work Billie and Norah
This is how all new country should sound.
I heard country music for the first time and i have started loving it!! I am a Green Day fan and Billie is perfect at this kind of music too.
Great song. Reminiscent of good old days.
This is AMAZING! Billie Joe is more country then any of the fakes on country radio now! I have so much respect for him, I've never fallen in love with a song so quickly until I heard "Long Time Gone". GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!
Nice song very popular on our local radio stations South Africa
Right up there with a respectful Everly Brothers sound. Both artists are incredible on tunes like this. Billie Joe is following in the footsteps of some great artists such as Kid Rock, Darius Rucker and Eddie Vedder who have found great success with other music genres. This is a good career move too -- it proves how good he is with the likes of Norah Jones and his diversity is on target. Maybe this is all sparked by what Robert Plant did with Alison Krauss -- if so, bring it on. This is so good.
John LaStrada I totally agree!
Good mellow sound. Like the change. Cant wait for this album (speaking as a fan of greenday for years)
Billie Joe's voice is so AMAZING & also in country! I never thought that would sing country, but it's so F**KING AMAZING!! I'm just so in love with his voice!
True! Their voices blended so well together.
This is one the song I,ve known since 1962
Good classic country Billie has something for all genres
Well... there's a reason the Everly Brother's are inducted in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame. Awesome harmonies! One of my all time favorite genres... country based early rock. My father played many Everly discs when I was young and they got me then and still do today. Exciting to have Billie Joe and Norah do these seeing that I'm a big GD fan. Thanks again Billie... really enjoy it!
Big up for Billie! 99 Revolutions Tour was epic and it's bloody amazing how much he's achieved over the last 25 YEARS! Rock n Roll!
I´m not sure if i like this type of music.....but i definitely love their voices;)
Instantly fell in love with this song, I'm a harcore Green Day fan, and love Norah Jones, and I think they should do more albums together :) They're voices just blend amazingly , It's like June and Johnny Cash
This is what people needed
You cheated me and made me lonely
I tried to be your very own
There'll be a day you'll want me only
But when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
You're gonna be sad, you're gonna be weepin'
You're gonna be blue and all alone
You'll regret the day you seen me leavin'
'Cause when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
You'll see my face through tears and sorrow
You'll miss the love you called your own
Baby, there'll be no tomorrow
'Cause when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
I'll be a long time gone
I'll be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
Yes, when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
Wow, this worked so much better than I had ever imagined! I was very skeptic when I first heard about this, but I stand happily corrected. Looking forward to hear the rest of the album!
Agreed- a bit hesitant at first but man oh man what duet. I've loved her work on The Little Willies, but a down and dirty duet album is due.
I always wanted to hear Billie Joe Armstrong cover an Everly brothers song. I always thought he sounded like them.
Wow this is so beautiful im gonna die
Don't die :)
Revel in the beauty of the Everly Brothers harmonies accurately rendered by Billie and Nora!
