Billie Joe has written 8 original songs for the upcoming play 'These Paper Bullets' which premiers this weekend, March 14th, at the Yale Repertory Theatre. This video was published yesterday featuring one of Billie's songs "Follow You Around" being performed by the actors in the play. Billie is there listening to the performance.



The song made me immediately think of The Wonders from the Tom Hanks movie 'That Thing You Do'. Others pointed out some similarities to The Beatles track Please Please Me.

"These Paper Bullets" will run from March 14th - April 5th. For ticket information visit the Yale Rep website.

Thanks to StuckWithDom for sharing this on our forum.
