Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends(Reaction)

[@RMDole19]

The lead singer’s father died in September, when he was a kid. He’s saying he’d rather sleep the whole month away and forget it so wake him up when the month is over so he won’t have to remember his father’s death.

[@JMWxx]

RMDole19 Omg I never knew that. Thanks for enlightening me!

[@Mayorofsexytown1303]

This song tends to hit me in the feels. Really connect with that feeling. Every January is pretty tough on my family seeing that my brother passed away in Jan. So tough to look at my mom and see that pain, so every time Jan approaches i start to get that feeling like man i just wish i could skip through this pain. At least it is a time to remember him i guess. Just wish it wasnt so painful.

[@JMWxx]

Mayor Of SexyTown *I’m soooo sorry for your loss. June’s bitter sweet for me. Mine, my sisters, brother in laws & mums birthday. But my sisters old bf who died in a motorbike aged 21 16days after a motorbike accident. He had a head on collision with a lorry. I’m surprised he lasted that long. He had to have 1/4 of his lung removed. He broke his leg badly and his collar bone. They couldn’t operate on his leg due to his lung and couldn’t are-operate on his lung due to his leg. In the end he got MRSA (otherwise known as the “Superbug”) they think a dr/nurse didn’t wash their hands. He died 2days after my birth. Since 2003 I dread my birthday because I know the anniversary of a guy who was like a big brother to me (weird to say because he was my sisters bf. But I was 12 he was 21. Closest thing I had to a brother until my brother in law) died.*

Rudy Toot I definitely am. I only knew him for a couple years. But I miss him all the time. It gets easier. I was a wreck when it first happened. Especially because we didn’t know what happened. Like was the lorry driver at fault. But turns out it was a tragic accident. Just clipped the curb with his tyre which stood his bike upright. The lorry was round the corner so he didn’t have time to correct it. Bless him. He must’ve been terrified! When I was younger I wished I’d got to go hospital to say goodbye. But now looking back I’m glad I didn’t see him at his worst point. I remember him as he was. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it.

[@braindeadhacker3]

I can hardly watch this video. I lived this for almost 8 years. My best friend and I enlisted and went thru basic training together. One minute we were laughing about high school and dating 2 sisters. The next minute I was holding him in my arms telling him we would be home soon. Two hours later I was writing his parents telling them that he wouldn’t be coming home. I hopped the C130 that carried his body home. I always thought I should have done more to save him and struggled with survivor guilt for many years, and caught 3 rounds myself getting him to cover. I go to Arlington National Cemetery every year since then , and talk to him about the emptiness inside since he passed. Last year, I said please give me a sign that you’re okay with me doing what I did. Amazing thing happened. It had been raining that day, and after asking for a sign, the rain immediately stopped and the sun shined. Miss you Tim. Someday we will see each other again.

Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this song about his father, who died of cancer on Semptember 1, 1982. At his father's funeral, Billie cried, ran home and locked himself in his room. When his Mother got home and knocked on the door to Billie's room, Billie simply said "Wake Me Up When September Ends" hence the title. The line "Seven Years Has Gone So Fast" is a reference to how Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt(bassis) band Sweet Children (which would morph into Green Day), was formed seven years after Armstrong father Died. "20 Years Has Gone So Fast" represents the time from his father's death to when Billie Joe Armstrong wrote the Song.

[@christineaudlee1479]

It was so heartbreaking

[@jenniferdzurilla9217]

He wrote the song 7 yrs after his father died. That's what that reference is. The 20 yrs is referencing singing it 20 yrs later. If you've heard them recently he says 30 years instead of 20. I only know this because I saw him explain it in an interview. He wrote some of their best music when he was very young. But not all..... never count him out. Amazing lyricist and overall musician.

[@reygarza2020]

When I enlisted into the Army in 1984, my girlfriend at the time reacted just like that (and there wasn't a war on then). I'm 56 now, a combat veteran and a retired soldier. This song/video strikes a chord in me. Thank you for reacting/posting. Shout out to you too! :)

Wrong! This song is for anyone who has lost someone close to them and if that happens to be a wife or girlfriend of a soldier then THAT is what the song means to them. Yes! This song was inspired and written by Billy Joe Armstrong and his personal experience of losing his dad etc... but even he would tell anyone that the song should mean whatever it means to them. Obviously the song meant something personal to the creator(s) of the video and Green Day agreed with it! Like every non specific song on the planet, this song means whatever you need it to mean.

No disrespect man, but how did you NOT feel those feelings back in Highschool? None of us had any wisdom yet, but my hormones had me going crazy. I could hump a mailbox, because I was so horny, punch a wall because I'm angry, or I could just cry over a song, because I was so damn sad. Music was/is a huge deal to me, and the teenage years is the exact time when I really "thought about it"....

This video hurts every single time I see it. I enlisted as a combat medic in 2008, shortly after this song came out. I didn't really believe in what I was doing, but I was also a naive 21yo kid. There were times when the urge to cry was so violent that it instead came out as vomit. Eight years and one PTSD later, I got out, came out, and occasionally now struggle to grasp the reality that I can never change my past no matter how much my past continues to change me still.

People also say that he had september 11th in mind. Its a parallel to how people felt. Not only in the months and year following, but for almost a whole decade. I myself enlisted in the army in fall of 2007 in my senior year of high school. Because I had a sense of patriotism that many before me have felt. Since the American revolution young men such as myself have had this vocation to serve liberty. After all that is what the great experiment of our country was about. It was won by men and boys, women and girls yearning to be citizens of a free land. Today in this country alot of people don't take the time to think about the sacrifices that people made for us to have freedom. Since Vietnam the American people are skeptical of war, As they should be it is not a thing to take lightly. Plato said "Only those who have died have seen the end of war." Yet there are times where was is a just and noble cause. A necessary risk that a nation and a people must take to defend and uphold its most sacred experiment.

My first deployment was in 2003 to Iraq, out of Texas. After getting back, I was sent to Germany, where my unit was preparing to deploy to Afghanistan. I was with some friends at the dining facility for lunch that had on American MTV when this video debuted for the first time. All conversation stopped and everyone's attention zeroed on the TV and we all intently watched this video in what felt like an eerie silence. Even during the break in music, when the girlfriend finds out he joined up and is shipping out, no one said a word. When the video ended, evening just kind of resumed and conversations picked right up. I was 20. Years later this video reminds me of that moment.

Just having to get through that first month of September trying to survive and rebuild what we lost was one of the most brutal and trying times we ever had to deal with. And when Green Day played this song in the pre-game concert of the re-opening of the Superdome the following September brought back lots of hard memories and tears. And then the REBIRT\H truly began with that emotional win against the rival Atlanta Falcons on that Monday night nationally televised game. We never looked back since.

The actual song was written about his dad when he died when he was really young I watched a documentary on it and it was really sad his dad passing had a real impact on his life which a parents passing will have an impact it’s just sad.

Beauty comes in limitless forms. It's all around us. Music, writing, video, even just a smile from a passerby on the street. We only have to look up from our smartphones. :')

First time I ever saw this video was on my first deployment... in September of 2005... it brings me to tears to this day. I’m 3:35 into your reaction and my prediction is it’s gonna hit you hard in the feels

This was the song I picked to play at my uncle's funeral we were very close a lot to do with the fact we were closer in age he was like my older brother I love him and miss him so much

[@adrianbara-popa9960]

It's interesting how September is always looked at as gloomy or a sad period. It's the end of summer but even tragic events have occurred in this month like 911 and Steve Irwin's death.

[@TOOSUSHI]

Adrian Bara-popa I never thought of it this way. So true

One more tragedy to add to your gloomy September list, my birthday

Why don't you review band Everclear song "Father of mine"

[@WoodstockProd]

To answer your question about the actors, the boy is Jamie Bell and the girl is Evan Rachel Wood. I don’t know a ton about either actor but Evan is currently one of the main characters on Westworld and Jamie was just in the Elton John biopic Rocketman which had some buzz going during awards season, he was also in a movie as a kid called Billy Elliot

Girl "Promise you will never leave me" Dude "I will never leave you"...... Dude joins the military and literally leaves her on her own. He then says "I did this for us".... what?

Do u have military friends or family? If not shut up, if so then take a real hard look at why the storyline is the way it is! I am a proud son of a Marine in Nam

@@tugseifert1447 Maybe you can explain this to me/us, because from the video alone i couldn't tell why he is joining the military.

[@tugseifert1447]

@@Riddler0603 dude maybe it is during a time when our country got attacked! When 9/11 happened I was ready to enlist, why because I wanted revenge for the deaths of the 3,000 innocent Americans killed, to help protect our freedoms. You don't have to accept it but you need to understand a lot of times people join to help protect our freedoms that other countries are plotting to take away from us

Mr.Mister to provide for her and maybe afford a family some day

[@starcravingmatt]

My father fought in iraq and Afghanistan to provide for a family that was struggling. Because of this, he was able to build his own house for us and start his own business after returning home. He still in reserves and has been deployed 3 times. I didnt see my father except maybe 6 months of my highschool career. Is it hard, yes. Can it be worth it to turn your life around, yes. Would I have been better off with my father here, probably not seeings as we probably would have starved.

[@joshbobst1629]

This song has gotten a lot of play on my local Tampa Bay radio stations the whole time from when it came out till now, and the entire time I didn't realize it was Green Day.

[@sherrythomas3028]

Evan Rachel Wood is the girl. I have always loved her acting. Little did we know we were watching the future Spiderman Tom Holland.

React to Falling in Reverse - The Drug in me is Reimagined

[@Stashdragon]

This song steamed from his father passing away when he was 10 and when he was asked to come out of his room he literally said, "Wake me up when September Ends" For some reason that phrase stuck with him until he wrote the song. I personally also feel there may be a double meaning. In the sense that the summer of his life was over too. I think, "The innocent" is childhood. I also think the reference to the bells in spring is about the celebration of being new. I think for him, he grew up at ten, and with the end of summer, (September) he will celebrate the new beginning of adulthood. It may not be what he intended it to mean but this song came out when I was a teenager and I was dealing with my sister, my best friend, and my mother passing. I have thought about these lyrics so much, they helped me during a really hard time. Even if it was not the original meaning.

[@Shepthebassman91]

Amazing, this was posted on my birthday and is one of my favorite songs! It reminds me of my mom's mom, who died of cancer on September 1st, 1980, she was just 49 and my mother was the tender age of 23! I never got to meet her, she passed away 11 years before i was born. This song is so beautiful and sacred, in the way that the bond between a parent and his or her child is so blessed. My grandmother was a preacher's wife who played organ and piano in the church and sang in the choir. She wasn't ready for life to deal a blow like this, but my mom is a such a strong woman who rose up and i remember the first time she heard this song in the car, my mother cried so much! I held her hand and told her that i loved her and that i cherished our relationship. This song really reminds me of how my mom has not had her mother for 40 years in her life, such a heartbreaking tragedy. Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer and main writer of Green Day actually cries sometimes when he plays this live! He did when i saw them in person at the LA Forum when i turned 22! You have to have a heart of stone not to feel the raw emotion of this amazing song! Thank you for your post!

My love to hate song. I first heard it 7 years after I lost my brother. He died on the 2nd of September. 17 sucky years without him.

I think as we get older, we actually get what musicians are saying because we actually experience it and can relate to it.

Both the actor and actress in this video are famous, the guy is British actor Jamie Bell from the classic British film "Billy Elliot" and the girl is Evan Rachel Wood both got their start as child actors and the were married in real life for a while. I always liked this music video.

The Actress is called Evan Rachel Wood and she was in Frozen 2 as Queen Iduna, and plays Dolores in Westworld The Actor is Jamie Bell from Billy Elliot

This song gets to me as a vet as well as losing my father when I was a kid like Billie Jo Armstrong. Also Sushi is unbelievably beautiful. 😌
