#GreenDay #Nimrod25 #GoodRiddanceTimeOfYourLife
Lyrics:
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life...

The saddest part of life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory
Wow ❤️
I’ll never forget this.
This is the reason why I listen to this every day.
holy shit
and my mom wonders why I'm always crying
If this isn't playing at my funeral I'm not going.
Me too hehehe
What a good thougth you had... I agreed 100%
Agreed! ❤️
Wait...
Exactly i feel the same way don't cry over me
"For what it's worth..it was worth all the while". Sums up the life journey in just 10 words.
Made it to 69 years old… yes it does 👀
I was 16 years old when I first heard this song. I'm 30 now and I'm still listening. reminds me of the old days
The good old days
But we are still getting for more good ol days. ❤
I’m 16 rn. What’s some advice for mw
@@cripdafoe2714 -Focus on living rather thn surviving.
- Don't take life too seriously.
- The time you spent trying to make yourself and your loved ones happy.. was a time well spent!
- Remember, doesn't matter what kind of time it is presently (good/bad/avg),, It WILL surely pass.
15 years ago 😂 .. I’m 43 and 15 years ago would be like 2 weeks to me
I’m 68, heard this song today and honestly, it brought a few tears to my eyes thinking about my youth and the fun I had. I’m still a kid at heart and always will be. Don’t take your youth for granted, it goes quickly..
i promise i wont. i have arthritis and everyone's been telling me to take it easy and to stop skating and be careful, but while im young im going to act it. i refuse to spend my youth being careful, i dont care how stupid it is or how much pain i'll be in a few years. im young so im going to do stuff while i can
we are all always kids at heart
Same here, Geno. I hear ya.😊
I'm 24 and will be 25 soon. Shits happened to me these years. But stated to learn guitar 2 months ago then I heard this song. Now I feel happier than before and want to explore more things. Anyway, it's like a young fellow mumbling here. I wasted my time too much, and from now on I will grab it as possible as I could. Thanks Geno!
I can Relate… I used to be a an Old Soul in a Young Man’s Body…
Now I’m a Young Soul in an Old Man’s Body…
my question is how do people sit down one day and write a fucking masterpiece without even knowing its going to be.
Actually they sat down one green day and wrote it lol
Witchcraft
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
Billie himself that they were not going to release the song because he felt that the fans wouldn't like it........little did he know. I graduted junior high and high school to this song. It is a great song
right omfg i dont understand. theyre geniuses
2024 anyone?🙋🙋🙋
Hi
😂this song played when I finished primary school
This was my teenage angst song and now 25 years later it’s my midlife angst song. I love growing older and not so very wise alongside the the soundtrack of my youth
Hi I recommend a song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix

Hey it's that guy with the meems! I like your meems.

Cyranek lol I remember this song for my Kindergarten graduation, which was a long time ago.
I graduate High School this coming June!! Class of 2018!!:-)
I've heard this song used in so many ways. Funerals and graduations.
Saddest part of this song is knowing he plays this at the end of every concert. You cry while smiling the whole time. Best show I've ever been to in my life. Nothing compares.

@@lippi2171 Oh good I thought they were just being a jerk or something sorry 😭😭
My aunt passed away this morning, needed to hear this 😢 I truly hope she did have the time of her life.
Bless u
I am 16. I lost my friends while I was 15. Things get rough but you have to remember the good things about them.
My condolences for your aunt and know this she had the time of her life through the conduit of you looking out for her while this song is playing in the background!!!!
So you ard saying good riddance?
I am so sorry for your loss 😢
This was played at my friend's daughters funeral. So young ..just 16.
Always in our Hearts Lindsey❤
I send my condolences to your friend
Google translate
I want this played at my graduation, wedding, and funeral.
It was played at my leavers assembly (basically graduation) I was almost brought to tears
the song is called good riddance.............
I played it after my graduation full blast everyone was giving me shitty looks
this played on my funeral yesterday.. oh wait
gg
Im now at age 22, no job, no confidence, anxiety always attacks me, also having an existential crisis. I hope i will have the best time of my life in the future.
Hold on to hope!
I was the same at 22, and homeless, just completely lost... 30 now, got an amazing little girl, she will soon be 6. Got a job, my own place, a car that is modified in the "rat look" style that I use every day, among other projects and let me tell you this. I never thought I'd make it to 23, let alone have what I have now. Trust me, it gets better. It may take years but, you can make it in life. Even when you think you can't. Music like this got me through some of the hardest times I've ever faced, keep listening. And, I would suggest steering clear of drugs, if you can. Don't make that mistake. They don't help, just escalate your problems. Keep it real. 👊
Very normal-I had panic attacks at 22 and thought it would never end. Your 20s is a time for self discovery and when you reflect back on them you’ll see it was worth it and beautiful. Take care of yourself
Me too bro. I'm 22 and exactly the same as you rn :')
You will bro just pray have faith and pure heart
Thats all and be a good person
I hope you had the time of your life son. Where ever you are, congrats to all the graduates 2024 ❤
Thank you ❤
Hey, hello thanks for survived
I’m no longer close with my childhood friends. We’ve all gone our separate ways. But wherever they are, I wish them nothing but the best and I’m grateful for the fun times we had. 1991-1996 are years that I’ll cherish forever.
Yup...same here during the 90s also.
I completey feel you right now... sad but the grestest joy to know that I went through that....
Feel the same way. I hope everyone I lost touch with is enjoying their life!
My son loved Green Day.. he was 8 or 9 when Dookie came out.. he should be 31 this year but he will always be 26..
This song is beautiful and sad for me..
I love it 💚
Sorry for your loss. I truly am.
@@bugnut82 thank you
His memories will always live on!
Me too. Mine is forever 34
Truly sorry from the bottom of my heart
If this song doesn't play at my funeral I'm not going
Ill definitely wont go either
But in the end its right.
:(
They played this at my cousin's memorial service. He was barely 31 when he passed from brain cancer. I still get chocked up listening to this song.
Best comment ever. (OP)
My cousin was trying to learn this on guitar before he passed away, god bless his soul.
I am so sorry for your loss buddy.
Makes you realise how precious life is embrace every day 👍🏻
My son used to jam this song on his guitar in his room when he was 15, he's still playing it at 36.
cool

I'm a teacher, and I'd like to dedicate this song to the class of 2020, who won't be able to walk across the stage in May. We're at a unique juncture in history, and we're all trying to keep our heads above water. The next generation is yours to lead.......learn from some of the mistakes of our current leadership, and instead, use what's brought you this far: awareness, preparation, team work, and proficiency. Be safe, and a thousand congratulations to you all. Live well.

If anybody's reading this, I hope you had a good time in your life. ❤
@@bjornskywalker6969This world has become cheap and toxic with necessity to live sometimes the only way to survive the harsh conditions you face with bad luck and bad times. It becomes then important for some of us to flee for living a larger life in youth even at the cost of leaving your loved ones where they want to stay.
We always think about respecting our society but not about us, ge damn self respect. Then we start loathing ourselves if we haven't done so. Yes it's called becoming selfish. The only easy way to succeed.
Green day has a special meaning that turns out to be helpful for people who lost their identity and wasted youth in bad times.
Thanks! Back atcha!
Same to you brother ❤
Reminds me of a summer day in the 90’s, moving into our new house, taking boxes and other stuff out of the car, feels like only yesterday. Life goes fast….. 😊
This is really a great song and I am past 60. I love the meaning of the lyrics. When one gets my age you begin to wonder if you have had the time of your life.
Your comment stood out the most to me.
Yes you have
As long as u have enjoyed it and lived your best live

To all you kids out there listening to this … I was about 20 when it was released , great times , never imagined for a minute that one day I’d be in my 40’s
Don’t get me wrong I have an amazing life , married to a beautiful redhead , fabulous kids , all the trimmings , my point is , your youth is over in a
blink … grab it while you can , you’re old for a damn sight longer than you’re young , thats what this song says to me , and it’ll be played at my funeral , at 44 I’ve already had the time of my life with a lot more to come . Love from Liverpool
A rose will bloom
It then will fade
So does a youth
So does the fairest maid
I was about 32 when it came out. none of the trimmings, but still like it..
Beautiful
I am 32 now...Thanks for motivation brother...So true...Life will go in a minute....
@@musicaltheatergeek79 😐🙂☺....... Hmmmmm
drenched in nostalgia, absolute timeless classic.
Good Riddance 2023.
This.
A masterpiece
I picked this for my best mates funeral song we carried him in with this playing, his mrs asked for my input and this was the first song that came to mind . He was always singing and i heard him belt this out a few times and i knew he was happy .. im sorry your life was cut short my friend , and i miss you. 😔
Very sorry for your loss, my condolences to you and your friend’s loved ones, may your friend rest in paradise.
My condolences
Sorry for your loss mate, I hope your buddy rests in paradise
I hope he had the time of his life 💜
Brought my guitar and sang this to my Grandpa in hospice two days before he passed in the ICU. He reached for my hand after playing, squeezed it for a moment before falling to sleep again.
Was a song played in his memorial.
Won't ever forget this song; it brings me back to him when I hear it.
Thanks.
🥺
A beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.
How blessed were you to be able to sing that to your Grandpa at that point in his journey of life. His gesture of love to you and the moment you had with him is something you will never forget and you will never forget him. Thanks so much for sharing.
@@johndelricci2483 I was scared. I'm glad I did. It was not only special to his daughters, my father.. but brought me a memory I will never forget, ever.
Thanks for the time and reply -- wish you and your family the best.

I am Uber driver in bali, i got a lot of tip from my customer when i play this song... i am happy 😄😄
LOL...agreed

Hallo Bali Indonesia
Absolute legend
My grandma is on hospice and this song is getting me thru it right now
So often compozitize and spread the word divine
Religious freshness one; instantly to the skies.
Remove senescent cells, respect authority
Be sinless in the long, and have sobriety.
😇
I can remember this playing at my high-school graduation, I was on top of the world and ready to take it by storm. Here I am now 30 and life has broken me, Embrace being happy and in the moment because it will be the good old days before you know it.
Same age similar situation but we gotta keep going because who else is going to do it! One day at a time it’s been worse
Keep going. You got this!
Things always get better down the line. :-)
I'm 60. I promise you, it gets better. And better still. Try to be patient (hardest part!) and work through it. I've been broken many times since age 30 and healed and become stronger (and smarter, I hope!) every time to date. You will too. Hold your friends and chosen family close, and when they offer you help, TAKE IT. Look into neutral 3rd party help -- therapy -- if you can. Wishing you everything wonderful in 2024. ❤️
73½ now. My advice to you, youngblood: If you're going through hell, keep going...✊
This song is twenty years old now. 1997 may seem like a long time ago, but it was just yesterday to me. Bitter sweet life :)
The other day my Zumba teacher called this an "Oldie." Oh dear, lol.
Gnome Party I wasn't alive so... 😂👍
20 years but it didn't lose its amazing meaning and that feeling of happiness/sadness at the same time it gives. thank you Green Day!
This song came out the year I was born, oh god I always feel like Green Day isn't that old.
I hope you had the time of your life
RIP my cat who passed away last week no matter how lame this sounds. Little Man was great company.
BudBundy007 ash. I’m sos prey for your loss. It’s not and, because that lil dude was a big part of your life, I remember how sad I was when my dog died. I’m sure he’s in a better place now ! RIP 😇
Damn, as a cat guy, im really sorry for your loss, your little buddy is in a better place right now.
Im so sorry for you, I lost my cat 2 years ago after a kidney failure, it completely broke me but I learned he will always stay in your heart, only remember your best memories
🙏🏼
so sorry
This song was playing when my daughter was born 23 year’s ago. Now she is graduating from Uni & moving away, I still listen to it all the time❤
Ms too 😊
🥲
One of the best songs ever written.
this was my dad’s favourite song he always listened to it and was played at his funeral. he took his life 18/2/2020. i was only 12 miss you everyday dad you will never be forgotten 🥺
I’m so sad to hear that, never forget him and he will always be there for you, you might just not be able to see him
Sorry kid. Men deal with depression and it's not taken serious. If you have Instagram follow my page @secretsoffatherhood all about fathers out there wanting to be dad's. He loved you.
Reformed Father thank you so much i’ll check it out.
Hold the love ,heal in time, memories do not pass, and pray everyday to show you care and keep his soul near. Give life much more then life gives you it is in forgiving that we grow . Strength is never being too shook to share because you will touch someone.
I'm sorry you had to go through that. Take care of yourself.
This song has really taken a lot of different meanings to me as years go by, it was a graduation song, a break up song, a memorial song for a lost friend, a song reminiscing about the past, an anti-depressant when Im having a rough day, and I guess it will continue evolving as time goes by and I enjoy the good times, while learning and growing from the bad ones. All those memories makes up who I am, and for what it's worth it has been worth all the while. This song ages like wine.
Listen mate, you've got this, "life" grab it. You're the man. You CAN do it
This was my H.S. graduation song if I remember correctly. I'm currently listening to a book on Audible called, The In-between By: Hadley Vlahos R.N. and she says her Mother-in-law picked this song for her Mother and Son dance at their wedding. She was dying from brain cancer. 😢 I popped over here to listen again to this song while thinking in context to what I just heard in the book. It's a great book I highly recommend 10/10!!!
Insightful and candid response. Well said. Zx
❤
So true... I distinctly remember listening to this song on New Year's Eve when I was 16 y/o, depressed and crying. I'm turning 40 this year. Feels like yesterday.
This song is as good today as it was the day it was released. A true classic.
Sure is
I’m 51 years old! Best song ever still
A song for teenagers when they realize they are not going to be a teenager anymore, and for adults who remember those times fondly and realize they won't come back again.
I am crying rn thinking that I will almost be an adult
Don't make me cry 😭😭
That’s why enjoy your times being as a teenager because time surely does fly by really fast. I’m 16, and I turn 17 next month (5/19/05)
What? Is a last drink song mate.
@@Live-SpaceX-us- I'm twice your age. The only thing I can tell you is go explore the world before nothing is left of it. What you will get from it will stay with you forever. Enjoy it, in the blink of an eye you will wonder where did time go and how the hell you got so old.
The fact that this comment section is still active after 10 years is lit

I mean the song was released in 97 but ok
I’m 27 but this song makes me reminisce the good times, my childhood and school days .. good times I’ll never get back or forget. Makes me miss my family and friends that passed away .

I can't believe he was only 18 when he wrote this song!!
how is that unbelievable?
@@cmoneystudios4813 cause the lyrics are too mature for an 18 year old to write
@@AabidHussain69 no it isn't, how? and he didn't actually write it when he was 18, because it was released in 1997, which was a 7 year gap from 88 around the time of kerplunk and 1039 slappy, before they were even signed, the song was heavily revised and many of the original lyrics did not make it, so he wrote this song over 7 years and he was a bit older, stop making such a huge deal when it really isn't
@@cmoneystudios4813 chill out bro
@@cmoneystudios4813 its not hard to work out really is it? :/ he wrote it years before it came out
I'm now 28, still listening to green day, still depressed with social anxiety, without friends. still crying over this song
I can be your friend fellow idiot nation.
Get out of the house and go for a walk, meet people. Being depressed by music won’t help anything. Even if you just find a website for people to talk to each other on, there’s millions of people out there that feel the same.
@@GH-nj1xm I'm terrified of other people... maybe they suffer the same affliction.
Your definitely not alone every song I hear has a memory attached it seems. Just remember there are help lines and people that care
Iam 37 , I was in your shoes.... you will get through this and be better/stronger because of it..... this too shall pass
My dad has just died and this made me cry my eyes out

Enjoy school while it lasts, even though it seems rough, some of the best memories come from it
They should do this exact same video, finding everyone that was part of it, but 25 years latter.
Iván Egües yes
Its not 25, dookie is 25 this year, and this was released after dookie
What about the dead ones? That'd be very interesting. Just have a gravestone, or the last photo of them, like one where they're smiling a big smile.
" What the actual fuck"
Time flies when you're having fun, don't it?
Hope you... well, you know the rest.

If Green Day ever breaks up, this has to be their last song played at their last concert. I hope that day never comes though.
Billie actually said in an interview, and I quote, " If anybody's gonna leave this band its gonna be in a coffin". So I doubt their ever gonna break up, but you never know, cause look at MCR😢
TheDitzofLaLa 😭😭😭😭😭
IanTheGamer // ITG dude, don't jinx it
Mochammad Febriananda In 1992 when asked where Green Day was asked where'd they be in 3 years. Billie said he aim a gun at Tre'. Tre' would aim at Mike. Mike would aim at Billie. Then, Mike said we'd count to three and pull the trigger.
I legitimately just cried over this comment
People watching this in 2024?🍷🗿
The song at every high school graduation
Personal Story Time:
I was 17 when I was introduced to Green Day by my girlfriend at the time who was obsessed with them. So, to impress her before we started dating, I binge listened to all their music and slowly but surely I realized why she was so crazy about this band. I could relate to her on a whole new level because I eventually just loved all their songs and we would cruise throughout the late nights just listening to Green Day in my car. "When It's Time" was our song by them. I was definitely head over heels for this girl and when I went to the military, she waited for me. It all sounds like a movie now that I look back on it. Another song that always stood out to me was " Good Riddance". It wasn't necessarily a happy song when I read the lyrics so I couldn't really associate happy feelings with it. Anyways, fast forward, we both start our freshman year of college together. Life's good... until life and school start to get in between us and we were no longer those young kids that fell in love in high school... We slowly became different people. As months go on, we argued more and more and I came to the realization that maybe, it's better if we went our separate ways. I ended it but I knew it was for the best. My heart was broken because as much as I wanted "us" to work, it didn't. I loved that green eyed red haired girl. Fast forward a week later, I find out she rebounded and let me tell you, even though we weren't together, I suffered knowing something so precious to me was easily snatched up by a guy she barely knew. I don't think I've ever cried so hard ever in my life because folks, a broken heart tears you apart from the inside out. So, after months of trying to recover, I revisited Green Day again because I really loved their music, but I associated their music with her. One song stood out more than the others... " Good Riddance".. because each single lyric has meaning behind it for me. It will forever be associated with her now because it matches so much what we went through for 2 years. " It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right, I hope you had the time of your life" As she was the best thing for me in the beginning, she ended up being the worst for me in the end, but I loved every second with her.
Update: I didn't realize this comment would blow up the way it did! Really I was just in my feelings one night and wrote about this personal story to get it out of my system 😅 I didn't realize how many people actually cared to read it and I'm grateful for that. Anyways, if you're wondering what happened after this story took place, life went on as usual. Everything healed with time really. It's never the end of the world when break-ups occur even though it may seem like it at the time. These types of things are just little bumps In the road of life that may slow you down, but ultimately it's your choice to pick up the pace once again, even if it is just baby steps. It's still progression!
P.s. life's too short to be worrying about one person you've been with for however long. Especially if you're a Marine and a sophomore in college 😅
Much love!
07/25/2021: I saw Green Day for the first time last night for their Hella Mega tour with Weezer and Fallout boy in Dallas ♥️ at the end of their set, they played this song in the most tranquil, peaceful way possible!! 😭😭 It was so beautiful and It felt like everything in the past has led to this moment, as weird as that sounds. I just feel at peace ATM ♥️ Much love guys!!
join the club
So sorry it didn't work out..I've been there,don't plan to revisit,affects trust for life.Makes you more resilient,but unfortunately more cynical as the years go by.
juan parra wow man... I'm sorry
juan parra Snape? Is that you?
Thank you for this comment, it was worth reading your story
The violins always get me. They’re Placed so perfectly in the song. Even when I was little, I always thought this is a subtle masterpiece this song.
Ik Noah love u bro
Thank producer Rob Cavallo for the violins. He sent the band to another room where they played foosball, and 20-30 minutes later (by his own reckoning) the strings were done.
Thank the grunge movement for re-introducing strings to rock 'n' roll.
Listen to The Mountain Goats. If you think this is sad, prepare to be destroyed. We Shall All Be Healed (album) may be up your alley.
I dont wanna ruin the song for you but this song is far from what most people think ,(ps its not a graduation song )
This was my cousin Crystyn's favorite song. She died from a head on car crash in 2001. My school teacher's son dated her, and bless her heart, she played this for at my high school graduation. Your band has been a miracle to our family! It makes me cry whenever I hear this song, but in a good/bad way. You guys kick @ss! ✌
This song hits differently as an adult.
It makes you want to look back at all the past memories you had and hope their is still good life ahead
I remember singing this for our elementary school graduation and I cried when I found this. Elementary school days were the good days...
TRUTH
мσє ™ It only gets worse. Trust me on that one.
+мσє ™ mine were good too :)
Graduated just a couple months ago and it reminds me of it so very much
мσє ™ holly shit you got to be kidding me you did that wow ...you rock!! ^_^
I’m 40 now and have loved greenday since I was 16. This song also has a soft spot in my heart because of seinfeld❤️ My husband and I also played it at our wedding last song...I have tickets to see greenday if corona ever passes. Sad songs make me feel better. Here’s to everyone listening during corona...if we don’t make it out on the other side...hope you had the time of your life🤘
Thank you
Yass...
Thanks! Well said
i wanna see one of their concerts one day
@@LyraPyxisVT Me too though I don't seem to know anyone my age who likes rock or metal music
I was 27 when this song came out. Was newly married with a baby. My carefree days ended, not in a bad way but different. Enjoy your youth it ends faster then you think. I’m 54 now and we are empty nesters. I miss those days.
Sounds like you have lived a life worth living. Happy for you fellow person

im sorry i think i know

+maswarm reviews coz I'm from India so my first lang is not English hence all these English songs are not much popular here.......though some ppl listen to western music bt mostly to those 1D or Justin Bieber type of music nd rarely u can find a real punk fan.....I have not found one lyk me yet 😔😓🙁

Always a great reminder....you only get one life, make the most of it...make every day worth living.
reincarnation is probably a thing though.
so go ahead and waste it if you so feel like

Then look at it this way-what you learn and the memories you make in this incarnation can have an effect on your next spin of the life wheel. Either way, make the most of them!
This was my graduation song. I'm back here because of the VW advert on TV at the moment.
What a timeless classic this is.
VW brought me here too :D
This song should be called "Good Riddance (We Play This Song At Every Fucking Graduation) "
so much truth
Elliot Rodger brought me here
this song better than...graduation by vitamin c lol
Who is Elliot Rodger?
yep
My mom likes mellow folk music
My dad likes hard rock/metal
This is their agreement
Wow that's awesome
More like, You're their agreement
If he likes hard rock and metal how would this song be a compromise? Nothing about it screams rock, it’s just a punk ballad
Country rock by the Green Day💖
Yes, it's called "alternative". Technically, Green Day is a punk rock band.
Its something unpredictable but in the end is right.
Played this at my mother's funeral in 2016, still coming back in 2024 to listen
8.1k people didn't have the time of their lives

He’s got such a nostalgic singing voice.
Edit: Thank you for all the likes.
The whole song floods my memories. Like being hit by a huge wave. 🖤
He really does. One would think it’s because these songs are old and therefore filled with nostalgia, but I remember listening to this for the first time so many years ago and instantly feeling very nostalgic. Same thing with songs like She, When I Come Around, Redundant or... well, all of Nimrod actually, the album this song is from.
He has unique voice, not a very good singing one, but he makes up for that with emotion, few people have a singing voice that is actually very good, but most who don’t have a lot of emotion, that’s talent
True😥😥
Fuck you dumb bitch he gots a better voice then you he's famous your not so take it from there
I’m in my 40s and loved them since 94. My boys 19 and 22 along with my 21yr old nephew will be seeing them August 28 in Atlanta to celebrate my younger son,s birthday. These boys got great taste in music 😊. Can’t wait! Green Day all Day
I listened to this song a lot when I was moving. Me and my family move a lot but this time it hurts because I was in my teen years and one of my friends sang the chorus to me and now this song will always be in my memory as a song that helped get through transitions. So thank you Green Day, for making this song.
One guitar
Two voices
No studio effects
One of the most beautiful songs ever made
That’s all it takes to make good song really
@@user-wo6hr5xv1z yep. all about showing off the song writing. if you need more it;s over compensating
Strings too.
@@skep2923 nah
@@RAGproduction uh yeah. There are strings in there my dude.
I just graduated yesterday. Listened to this song on the way home with a beautiful sunset and my windows rolled down. Pretty surreal
You do know this song means "Fuck You", right?
Ghost Ninja while that’s intention, the song can be taken in a very literal manner too
PNW Late to the party, but best of luck for your future, man. I could quote some lines of the song here, but I won’t.
Mine is in 4 months and I just know I’m gonna do the same thing
Sweet Victory Good luck to you, too. 🖤
Congratulations Green Day, my high school class of 2024 made this song their senior song
This has always been THE SONG for me
This is my mom's and my song. She died in 2004. Hope you had the time of your life.
If i listened to this song too I'd probably kick the bucket as well, i hope she did have a good life prior to hearin hearing this garbage.
My mom passed in 2004 as well. I think of her every single day, this song helps...
Lost mine in 2005… sending love
2004: American Idiot
My dad died yesterday and this song would be a good funeral song i was thinking 💔
This song is so good but too short
it really is too short
true
Fuck you.
Is as short as our lives...
i agree
Anytime I hear this song it brings me to tears! My eldest son died in a tragic kayaking accident and this song reminds me to cherish all of the core memories I had with him!
Damn I'm so sorry no one deserves to go through that may he rest in peace 🕊️
I bet you, it wasn't in your recommendation list.
You searched it.
Sudip g yessir
Yup
Yazzzzz
yes 🥰
Yes lol
So, I'm a 16 yo italian girl.
Since I'm 10 I've always wanted to learn how to play the guitar, but my parents didn't let me.(but i learned piano)
This year was one of the worst in my life(I'm not joking) and Green Day (and also music in general) helped me a lot.
Finally three weeks ago I started my guitar lessons and yesterday my guitar teacher said "now I wanna teach you this very beautiful song" and he started playing"Good riddance".
Now i learned it (only the chords ofc)
and I don't know how to describe how I feel...finally I'm happy, not bc of the fact that I kinda learned this song, but bc I reflected a lot these months and I stopped hating on myself.
So thank you guys, thank you so so much.
Also I was supposed to see Green Day this june in Milan, but next year will be great! Stay safe.
Edit: thank you for the likes, wasn't expecting this many! Also I finally bought an electric guitar a month ago!
I just finished this song on my guitar before rewatch tvis MV and write this comment. Yea I can play guitar but not really good. My dream was I wanted to play piano but unfortunately i came from poor family and have no musical background so i've got no idea how to start Piano so rn I tried my best to improve my guitar skills. Stay focus and chase your dream sister. Hope you had the time of your life!
Good for you for not giving up on your dream. I've wanted to learn the guitar for years too.
I'm happy that you manage your emotions my friend, let's be punks one more time, Green day 100% recommended.
@@StJimmy-eq8zg thank you!
@@aaronmatos5581 yeah!
Anyone who thinks this cat can't spin a tune is lost. This is an American classic. Will be listened to forever. Perfect.
One of the BEST songs by Green Day in my opinion. Thank you for making most of my childhood memories.
No denying this one of THOSE songs..absolutely incredible
Few points about this song
1.Song for every single graduation.
2.This song is all about breakup.
3.Good music never fades away.

Why does almost everyone in the video look like they forgot to turn off their oven?
i can't breathe
MrTerminalX hahahaha yeah
I cant watch this without laughing now thanks lol
I CANT BREATHE XD HAHAHAHA!
MrTerminalX oh my god I can't not see that now😂
Rip June , may your spirit and soul soar forever , you were amazing, I miss you as does your family and friends
My son is going to play this song on Sunday for his grandpas birthday 🎉❤ since he’s turning 60
I just fell into another green day hole. I'm obsessed.
Ikr haha
I thought my Green Day obsession ended when I was six. six years later and I'm back here again. ehhhh
+Maddie Castillo It's not hard to be obsessed with Green Day.
+Maddie Castillo same here LOL
Same😢😢😢 too much love
I dedicate this song to everyone who graduated high school.
Im about to in 3 months, cant wait to hear this again!
Gonna graduate soon.. New school, found a new family, sad to see them go, but in the end it's right.
Only 8th grade
Well I never made it as a working class hero.
More like Middle school
I use this song to go to sleep, it’s so soft and calming and it’s a very historical piece of music. It makes you realize how lucky you are to be healthy and safe.
The best song that Green Day has ever performed. This has been heard during my high school graduation, all thanks to a music teacher who loves Green Day. 😀🎵🎧
Yeah...this song was played at roughly 96% of all high school graduations in the US in 1998.
Our school played boys ii men for like 15 years straight... my vote was rem's end of the world as we know it.
OK, @@cokeacolasucks. I was born in 1998. I was still a baby back then. : )
"it's impossible to be depressing in a major key"
Green Day: observe
trueeee
Its G major but actually it is almost same as E minor. So it can be minor song
It’s in Em mate
@@danle6853 not almost, it IS the same. The scale just starts at E instead of G
@@JornL yeah tnx
It was a risk for Green Day to make this guitar driven ballad-type song because of their hardcore rock fans but I'm glad they did. This song makes me think of my memories.
In a way, I find this song even more punk than usual. Punk is about breaking the rules and this song breaks the rules of punk.
Hannah Obsiye same
We played this song at my uncles funeral one year ago and today right after my dog passed this song came on 💜
Still listening in 2024. Timeless!
My dad had a friend, a skateboarding buddy, and I grew up around him. I’d always looked up to him. I had a little kid crush on him... he was only 22, and was killed in a car accident because the other person was messed up on medicine they were taking. I’m still devastated to this day... this was one of his favorite songs that he wanted played at his funeral. He wrote a poem about dying a couple months before he died... it’s kind of like he sensed he was going to. I have the shirt with his poem on it. I miss you so much... so so much.
Yours is a really heartbreaking story, and I'm sure he's watching over you. It's sad that we have to go through that kind of pain, but our lives are made of highs and lows. I need to ask you this, and I don't want to sound impolite, but would you be mad if I asked you to share the poem with us? Art is supposed to be appreciated after all.
Ronaldo Oliveira absolutely. I’ll pull he shirt out tomorrow that has it written on the back to share. It’s late now and I just laid my son down for bed :-) if you wouldn’t mind to comment back tomorrow and remind me, because I may forget!
@@coralime2298 Hey, sup! I forgot to drop by yesterday. Now I'm here 😃
Ronaldo Oliveira hi!
When I’m Gone by Andy Hovis
“For when I die, who would cry?
Thy shall not shed a tear,
instead have a beer
When I’m gone don’t be sad,
rejoice the days that we had
Laugh at the times we shared,
not for the ones that were lost and not shared
Though I may no longer be a being,
I’ll be here, believing isn’t always seeing
Look into the sky,
and wave hello not goodbye
I will not rest,
though I shall make laughs, what I do best
When the winds take your hair a blow,
my fingers running through thy hair you will know
Don’t be sad, not for a while,
look into the stars and crack a smile...”
Stay Alive
Beautiful
Still better than 90% of the songs out there.
99%*
TheFatAssassin 99.9%*
Jenish Shrestha everyone is going up in numbers we may as well say 100%!!!!!
Bunny Girl no no no no no no no
GOOGLEPLEX% LOL XD LMAO ROFLMAO ROFLMFAO
Green Days fan originally hated this song because using acoustic guitars was not punk and the song sounded too mainstream. So technically this is the worst song ever. According to them at least.
