    I like this. I see this version as the "fuck you" end to a relationship whereas the more popular version is the "we had a good run" end.

    This is the "Good Riddance" version, the middle finger to all who would call him a sellout or judge him during the time of his life - the Nimrod version is the heartfelt sincere "Time of Your Life" version. I love both of them, almost two completely different songs depending on who BJ is directing it to.

      Jon Dillon I think that’s the magic of this song. It’s the reason it was so impactful and resonated with so many people is because there are two sides coming from two emotions that we all feel. It’s about bittersweet endings and new beginnings. Anytime we have to say goodbye we feel that there’s A little of both. Sometimes it’s almost completely “good riddance and fuck you” and other times it’s almost all “hey this is over but while we were together I hope you had the time of your life”. Usually it’s a little of both. Just because he had an experience that he was specifically writing about doesn’t mean you can pigeonhole it to only that specific situation. Love songs are never to be locked within that limitation. That’s why you can play it at graduations and have it be sincere and sentimental. Or why BJA plays it as his last song at a concert. He’s not saying “fuck you” to the audience. It can be played both ways which is what makes the song so powerful and impactful.

    This is better than the Nimrod version. Stripped down and a lot more "simple and to the point." Certainly more raw, and if you ask this fan, sounds more like a Green Day song.

    So technically this is the original version, since this came out first.

    Anyone knows what tuning is this in? It sounds lower than the nimrod version.
