Wake me up when september ends

Lately, my fascination was caught by Greenday's recent music video Wake Me Up When September Ends. Well its a first of its kind for the punk rock band. If i'm not mistaken, it seems as if it's the first video where the band inculcated a strong dramatic efffect to accompany a gloomy lyrics to send a message to their viewers. And I guess it pays off, because I've been hearing positive feedbacks for the video which, I think is Greeeenday's subtle protest and move to renounce war. The lyrics goes: Summer has come and passed The innocent can never last Wake me up when September ends Like my father's come to pass Seven years has gone so fast Wake me up when September ends Here comes the rain again Falling from the stars Drenched in my pain again Becoming who we are As my memory rests But never forgets what I lost Wake me up when September ends Summer has come and passed The innocent can never last Wake me up when September ends Ring out the bells again Like we did when spring began Wake me up when september ends Here comes the rain again Falling from the stars Drenched in my pain again Becoming who we are As my memory rests But never forgets what I lost Wake me up when september ends Summer has come and passed The innocent can never last Wake me up when September ends Like my father's come to pass Twenty years has gone so fast Wake me up when September ends Wake me up when September ends Wake me up when September ends
