Yup, been haunting me ever since it was released as a single of the album in June of 2005 when I was in my 20's in Iraq. The lose of his father hit my heart as it was super close to how I lost mine. Than the Video was made after I'd done two extended tours and lost the girl, but are kids are now the new gen🙊🙉🙈
Short story behind the song... Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this song about his father, who died of cancer on September 1, 1982 when Billie was just 10 years old. 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. Pretty darn sad but awesome of BJA at the same time. If that's true... Is pretty cool.
This song was in my 25 year old sons phone. He died on 9-23-2014. His summers will never end. My heart just breaks everyday, but hes never gonna feel pain again. Just love. I've been raising his son, as my grandfather did for me. Hes 9 now and i recognize everyday, hes just like his dad. I got a do-over, but ive give my life for them to grow up together. Honor the tears, they cleanse the soul..
aye i really feel for you. This song my brother used to play greenday across from my room from our connecting bathroom, I could hear it all the time. He loved them as much as any kid could at that time. had posters all over his walls. Spiked his hair and started dressing emo. I remember him playing this song.. Different times man. I lost my brother( a stupid heroin overdose) when he was 25 as well in september of 2016...ironic. I could not wait for september end but the truth is, is that the rest of my life I will always have this incident and loss just there. Like always there. Life is jst not the same anymore
Watching this because September has officially come to an end. R.I.P. Andrew Armstrong (Billie Joe's father, whom this song was made for). May your memory be eternal.
I had cancer at 12 years old in 2006. Spend my birthday in the hospital at the end of August 2006. The doctors told me & my parents that I would be able to leave the hospital at the end of September if everything was okay. I already was a fan of Green Day at the time. This song became special to me. I'm 30 right now & completely healed. Reading all the comments from so many people who have a special story with this song shows how important & unique it is. Thanks Green Day.
Jesus is coming back this year!!! Believe in Him!!! There is no excuse for those who are accountable. Believe Him. Put your faith and trust in Him, His finish work that, He did on the cross of calvary. He paid for the admission of our sins. Past, present, and future sins. He died on the cross of calvary for our sins, He was buried and He rose again on the third day. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of one sin and that one sin is the sin of unbelief. All the lost sheep will be found and they will never lose their salvation.
I returned from Iraq in August before my Company was to return home in September… I was wounded by an IED and was sent to Germany for treatment and then sent back home. This song reminds me of that time period. That was 2006!!!
@@noir_sirenaYou’re thanking him for partaking in the illegal invasion of Iraq? The war that lead to the deaths of at least one million Iraqi civilians at the hands of the USA?
God bless you, you may laugh but I feel old at 26 and like I wasted so much time in anxiety not doing anything... covid messed up time for me. This year must be change 🙏 but thank you for posting this sir.
that's not funny at all! ❤ i just want you to know bja wrote this song about his father. that's not something to make jokes about! he's actually very upset about that.
Billie, the singer, wrote this about his father who tragically died in September when he was 10. He said, “Wake Me Up When September Ends”, to his mother when she checked on him after he ran home from the funeral because he couldn’t handle it. 7 years after his father passed, he joined Green Day, and 20 years after his dad passed, he and Green Day wrote the song. People absolutely can joke about this song, I’m just explaining the meaning of the title if anyone is curious. Edit: Thank you for all the likes! Green Day fans are the best! Edit in 2024. Crazy how like the lyrics in this song go, “20 years has gone so fast,” this album and song officially turn 20 years old this September 21st! 20 years really has gone so fast! Green Day forever!! 💚💚💚💚
I can so much feel his feelings, just hearing the song and it's exactly 7 years and 9 days passed...and I listen to this part on repeat, having a weird feeling...
I am so sorry. My mom is on hospice care right now for cancer, her birthday is in September, and I had a couple of friends that have died in the past during this month as well. September can bloody well suck it.
Summer has come and passed The innocent can never last Wake me up when September ends Like my fathers 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
My grandma passed away yesterday. This song was playing on the radio later in the evening as I was driving back home. Never new the meaning of this song until that moment. Now this song will always remind me of her. Rest in peace abuela
Rest in piece my grandmother passed away today of a stomach infection I don't know how to process it I loved her so much this song came to mind so I'm celebrating her life tonight
I was in 4th grade. My dad takes me to see my favorite band in concert. Green Day during the American Idiot tour. Almost 20 years ago. Been one year since I lost my dad already. Really has gone by so fast… Thank you Green Day for the memories
“20 years has gone so fast” RIP to all of the victims and heroes we lost 20 years ago today. And of course RIP to Billie’s father, Andy Armstrong. ❤️❤️❤️
@@shoegame1201 I just read it on Wikipedia (before I read this): esophagus cancer in September of 1982, when Billie was 10. I also read somewhere else (thought it was wiki but I couldn’t find it again as I wanted to quote it) that as a child, following his father’s death, his mom would try to get him to come out of his room, to which he’d respond, “Wake me up when September ends.” 39 years gone so fast…
This song really hits home now... My parents passed away Sept. 2020 from complications due to Covid... My father passed first and mother seconds after. Though they passed hand in hand, it's the hardest thing I've ever dealt with. I nearly died from a broken heart but knew I had to pull myself out of that dark place to take care of my own family.
I'm so sorry and I understand how hard it was for you and how hard it is to get over it, be strong you have your whole life ahead of you even if your parents are not with you physically they will live in your heart forever. Stay strong 💪
@@loamerlukas Thank you so much I really appreciate that! I’m doing much better. I honestly don’t believe that time heals, because it doesn’t feel any easier… it sometimes feels like the loss has gotten worse. But you learn to cope. Again, thank you son much!
Coming back after 12 years. A lot has changed. The feelings are defined now. This band, these lyrics, this video means so much more with years passing by. Thank you Green Day.
Pain doesn't go away, no matter how many years have passed. Sometimes you forget about it and you think that you are finally alright, but it catches you.
Your right pain doesn't go away but if you get lucky you'll have someone that makes it the pain hurt less boyfriend, girlfriend, mom, dad, brother, sister, grandpa, grandma, a friend just one person that will always be there and when your with them the pain may still be there but you'll know you don't have to be alone
When my father turned 40 i realized that he is getting older, i couldn't stop thinking about the future, and all i could imagine was looking back on a time where he would still be alive.
My dad introduced me to Green Day as a kid and its now my favourite band. Im 25 now and ive been lucky to see them 3 times - the 1st being with my dad. Its his funeral on Friday - 6th of september. Ive picked this song to play at the end. I love you, Dad, thank you for everything.
A great friend was murdered yesterday at night... He introduced me to this amazing song 15 years ago and since that day this is my favorite... Man I will really miss you... Thank you for Everything.
*I visit this video every 1st of September of the year* For me, this song is the music of September. I'm glad this was introduced to me when I was a kid and now, it's just nostalgic listening to this song.
I never knew the meaning behind this song being written. I used to have this as my wake up alarm in college, for fall semester. My Dad died last September, so the meaning changed for me. Now, knowing why the song was written, it resonates even more.
According to someone's comments here. His dad died of cancer in September and he said to his mom wake me up when September ends. But don't quote me. Just what I read.
This song was written by Billy Joe Armstrong in memory of his father who died of cancer on Sept 1, 1982 when he was 10 years old. I've listened to this song over 50 times, and each time streams of tears run down my face. The loss of one's parent can be very painful especially when one loses a parent as a child. Upon hearing the news of his father's death , Billy Joe told his mother "Wake me up when September ends". His father would have been so proud of his son if he knew how successful and well known he has become in the world of music.
My brother's birthday is September 30. He always sang this coz he said September 30 is the end of September. He passed away when he was 20 yrs old. This song reminds me always of him. I miss him so much
I’m so sorry for your brother, but, just know that he’s in a better place, and surviving loss shows that you’re worthy of being your brother’s sister, and that you are strong.
It doesn’t matter what time of year it is when I hear this song, It always brings tears to my eyes. My father died on Labor Day 25 years ago and it still seems like it was just last week. I wish you all peace dealing with your loss. They say it gets Easier as time goes on but it doesn’t. You just Learn how to live a different way
I just recently learned he wrote this about losing his father in September and I lost my mom last September the day after my bday so this song hits so much harder now ...
I sorry to hear you say that I lost my grandma last year 3 days after my birthday. I was born on her and my grandfather's anniversary so I always felt close to her. My grandparents were closer to me than my parents were. I hope your doing well and staying strong
September is a hard month for you, especially when you always have to come back to listen to this song every september and remembers everything again every year

He'd be proud of him in general. He's achieved and is still achieving his goals and dreams, he's helped millions, and millions of people, he's happy doing it, and so so much more. His dad would be very proud of him
This song perfectly represents depression and the sadness of losing something or someone. I've lost motivation to do anything, and I don't like things I used to like. To me this song describes the way depression changes you. I'm not here to seek pity or anything, I just want people to know what this piece of music means to me.
Nigersaurus is a genus of rebbachisaurid sauropod dinosaur that lived during the middle Cretaceous period, about 115 to 105 million years ago. It was discovered in the Elrhaz Formation in an area called Gadoufaoua, in the Republic of Niger. Fossils of this dinosaur were first described in 1976, but it was only named Nigersaurus taqueti in 1999, after further and more complete remains were found and described. The genus name means "Niger reptile", and the specific name honours the palaeontologist Philippe Taquet, who discovered the first remains. Nigersaurus Temporal range: Aptian - Albian 115-105 Ma

It's already 11 years since this song was released and it feels like it was just yesterday. I really feel the melancholic nostalgia of the good old days, of being a kid, of being happy, of being sad and of just being. Mannnn, I miss being a kid!
P!s wake up!!!! They were singing ab0ut Sept 2021 - The 23rd day in particu!ar They are Satanists and y0u are in their grand p!an - A!! the cvid b/s Get t0 Jesus N0W!
Unortunate fact- bille made this song as a tribute to his dad that passed away when he was 10. after his dad's funural he ran into his room his mom asked him to please come out but didn't want to come out and he said to his mother "wake me up when September ends"
Weird. I never heard the song start to finish or really even paid attention to what was being said. But somehow, I got the feeling it was about him losing his dad. Also my dad likes this song
There's a great video on here of them performing the song on Howard Stern where Billie Jo talks about exactly this. It's pretty obvious there's a ton of pain still there. Believe me, it doesn't go away.
@@oldman9843 sorry, I meant to say wars do take from us more than they talk about. Even those they won't talk about. Mental trauma is more dangerous than physical trauma, I opine.
I went to the concert in Houston a couple days ago and he sang this song… I was already crying from the fact that I was even at the concert but I really got emotional when I heard this song. He is an amazing singer and this song is beautiful
the scene where the girl has to pay for their date because the guy was clearly struggling financially hit me hard, reminded me of the times when my ex girlfriend has to pay in most of our dates because I was struggling too I decided to join the merchant marine so that I can earn some money but I'll be away for a long time, she said that she couldn't wait for me and it didn't work out we broke up a month ago and this song just hits home.
@@carmengarcia-cj5ps she may have loved me, but it's not as strong and committed as I did, it's been only a month since we broke up and I'm learning to accept things as they are :)
6:48 Tré cool doing random stuff, like every time he gets off the drums at the end of the song, he shows off like randomly in every TV late night shows. No kidding, he's cool and funny at the same time in my opinion. 😂
@@ericdarmawan9504 Some people like me don't know where you guys find all the songs... I mean, somebody told me about this song, but like there are so many songs that many people know and I'm just discovering. Am I so asocial or what? Like, I didn't know about the Queen and ABBA until I was like 14, 15 🤷♀️ sure, I heard some of their songs on radio, but how am I supposed to know the musicians and how these songs are called? How do people just know it?!

Becoming who we are

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

So true. So very true.
Your right pain doesn't go away but if you get lucky you'll have someone that makes it the pain hurt less boyfriend, girlfriend, mom, dad, brother, sister, grandpa, grandma, a friend just one person that will always be there and when your with them the pain may still be there but you'll know you don't have to be alone
.... the evil side or negative side in our life span. We got to learn to balance it, and it’s tough asf
But we will come to recover from it, slowly. We just need to help ourselves as well. And then time will take care of everything.
Something we get through we never get over it
When my father turned 40 i realized that he is getting older, i couldn't stop thinking about the future, and all i could imagine was looking back on a time where he would still be alive.
My dad introduced me to Green Day as a kid and its now my favourite band. Im 25 now and ive been lucky to see them 3 times - the 1st being with my dad.
Its his funeral on Friday - 6th of september. Ive picked this song to play at the end. I love you, Dad, thank you for everything.
sorry for your loss...
I love to play this song on electric guitar. I will dedicate the next play through to your dad.
May he rest well, He earned it. We too will join him one day.
Rest in peace 🕊️❤
Thank you, all ❤️

*I visit this video every 1st of September of the year*
For me, this song is the music of September. I'm glad this was introduced to me when I was a kid and now, it's just nostalgic listening to this song.
What is movie clips are from?
Me too 😰
Same :D
Shouldn't you be visiting it on October 1st?
U know what this full movie
I never knew the meaning behind this song being written. I used to have this as my wake up alarm in college, for fall semester. My Dad died last September, so the meaning changed for me. Now, knowing why the song was written, it resonates even more.
According to someone's comments here. His dad died of cancer in September and he said to his mom wake me up when September ends. But don't quote me. Just what I read.
@@MotelLife I don't know about the thing about him saying it to his mom but the fact that his dad died of cancer in September 1982 is definitely true
My father passed away in September 2018 while I was in USMC boot camp. I feel you man. Stay strong.
@@mrtrooper17 I am so sorry
Sorry for your loss, stay strong and vibe with the music!
Time to get up, September has now ended, ready for another year of joy
This song was written by Billy Joe Armstrong in memory of his father who died of cancer on Sept 1, 1982 when he was 10 years old. I've listened to this song over 50 times, and each time streams of tears run down my face. The loss of one's parent can be very painful especially when one loses a parent as a child. Upon hearing the news of his father's death , Billy Joe told his mother "Wake me up when September ends". His father would have been so proud of his son if he knew how successful and well known he has become in the world of music.
The song is also supposed to be a little bit of a 9/11 tribute

My brother's birthday is September 30. He always sang this coz he said September 30 is the end of September. He passed away when he was 20 yrs old. This song reminds me always of him. I miss him so much

How come him died at such young age?
I’m so sorry for your brother, but, just know that he’s in a better place, and surviving loss shows that you’re worthy of being your brother’s sister, and that you are strong.

Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this about his father, who died of cancer on September 1st, 1982 when Billie was just 10 years old. At his father's funeral, Billie cried, ran home & locked himself in his room. When his mother got home & knocked on the door to Billie's room, Billie simply said, "Wake me up when September ends," hence the title.
（Edited：thanks for all the likes!）
Oh I thought that he wrote this song because his father got caught up in 9/11

This song perfectly represents depression and the sadness of losing something or someone. I've lost motivation to do anything, and I don't like things I used to like. To me this song describes the way depression changes you. I'm not here to seek pity or anything, I just want people to know what this piece of music means to me.
I hope you are ok. Reach out and get help. Depression can be treated and you will feel better. This to shall pass
mine comes and goes... mostly stays
Nigersaurus is a genus of rebbachisaurid sauropod dinosaur that lived during the middle Cretaceous period, about 115 to 105 million years ago. It was discovered in the Elrhaz Formation in an area called Gadoufaoua, in the Republic of Niger. Fossils of this dinosaur were first described in 1976, but it was only named Nigersaurus taqueti in 1999, after further and more complete remains were found and described. The genus name means "Niger reptile", and the specific name honours the palaeontologist Philippe Taquet, who discovered the first remains.
Nigersaurus
Temporal range: Aptian - Albian 115-105 Ma
So true people don’t fake depression they fake being ok. Power to you and may you be triumphant with your soul

Weird. I never heard the song start to finish or really even paid attention to what was being said. But somehow, I got the feeling it was about him losing his dad. Also my dad likes this song
There's a great video on here of them performing the song on Howard Stern where Billie Jo talks about exactly this. It's pretty obvious there's a ton of pain still there. Believe me, it doesn't go away.
Yeah but the video is kind of misleading
