WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS; A sad story behind the hit 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. In the video for this song we see a young couple get separated due to circumstance. This shows the director's view of the song: we should treasure our loved ones and never take them for granted, because they can be taken away from us any moment. Ctto
I never noticed that before. Respect to Billie Joe, He always cries about his father in every concerts while playing this song! thanks for the reminder about this.
This song brings me memories. My father passed away 5 years ago, August. My birthday is in September, my parents were divorced, so I could visit my dad only in “important” days, my birthday was one of those, I was so happy, it was almost here, and I could visit my dad. Well, he died. Just when my birthday was coming. It’s sad remembering how excited I was for visiting him, then I got the news, I still remember how much I cried and screamed. I wanted September to end, to stop suffering by thinking of how my life would have go if he was here. If you finished reading this, thank you. And sorry if my English is bad, I’m Mexican. Edit: Woah, I didn't think people would notice this comment. But, I really, really, really appreciate all of your support. Thank you.
I’m so sorry you had to through that. Most of us are lucky to never go through things like that as a child and we need to think more about those who are affected by tragedies like this.
I dedicate this song to my friend keil, (pronounced like Kyle) who passed away today, september 24th, 2014 after battling cancer for 4 years. 22 years old is not enough. I'll miss you.....RIP.
22 years is definitely not enough. It's a shame at all the people that are taken at such a young age, whatever the circumstances may be. I'm going to be 18 within a week, and lately, I just been wondering if I'll get to live a long and prosperous life or just fall victim to one of life's many traps. Either way, I'm sorry for your loss and hope that you have the strength to persevere through this difficult time.
Christian Vallejo Just live life day by day,do things that make you smile,be near your loved ones.Don't waste your youth thinking that bad things might happen in the future.
At least i can continue living, knowing he is no longer suffering. It was at a point where he had to get his left leg amputated. He still had his humor and knowledgeability with him. He knew he was suffering but didnt want to show it. And he did a damn good job at that.
He was. And he wanted to enlist in the marines after we graduated from Encinal High School in 2010 (go Jets) but the cancer prevented that from happening. But like i said, he's no longer suffering.
I forgot all about this song til this week. My brother committed suicide on September 8th, he was only 20. I remember September being hell, a hell full of guilt, sadness, loneliness, numbness, anger, confusion, and missing him so bad. All of September 9th felt like a journey. Here's my family's story. It all started at 12 AM on September 9th, my brother was supposedly at work like always, he'd come home in a few hours. I remember brushing my teeth, and I heard loud knocking. I froze, I felt as if something was very wrong. My mother opened the door and we saw two uniformed police walk in, and ask if we knew Christopher (my brother). We said yes, and they describe him. His description matched the one the police told us. My mom walked out, she knew something horrible happened. My dad, sister, and I sat in the couch and the police told us that my brother had walked in front of a train. I remember everything felt fuzzy and blurry, and the house broke into violent sobs and screams. My dad was shocked, he sat still for a while. My mom was screaming, she called all of our family and they came over at around 1-2 AM. Growing up, my brother was glued to his half brother, they were best friends. I also got along well with my brother, and I remember always worrying about him because he had epilepsy and depression. Anyway, at 8 AM my dad woke me up and asked if I would like to go to the train tracks with him. I did, and what we saw was burned into my mind. No, there wasn't a body. But we found one of his socks, torn up cloth, and.. There was a lot of blood. We returned there later with my half brother, and my mom's best friend. We made a small memorial along the tracks. We left his favorite snack. Hot cheetos and a bottle of sprite. We cried, and I remember staring at the train passing by. A few hours later, the police confirmed it was him by his finger print. I was searching my brothers social media and found his last post. His last post was hours before he died. His post contained a picture of the canals that lead to the train, and a selfie. His expression was hard to identify, I still can't figure it out to this day. We later searched his bedroom and found a few boxes titled "mementos", inside was a note. The note told us not to ruin or throw away the stuff in the boxes, even if he was dead. There was no suicide note at all, or any reason as to why he did it. All we know is that he was always depressed after his friend committed suicide in 2017, and a few days before Christopher died, he told my mom he was nervous for October. October is the month his friend passed away on. I remember the last days with Christopher too. He seemed lost, gloomy, and so upset. We tried talking to him, but nothing really helped. On his last day, he acted completely normal. No one could have stopped him that day, and when he walked in front of the train it was dark. About 3 days ago we finally had his funeral, and we all shared memories and love to him.
i’m so sorry, i know what he did can be seen as selfish or whatnot. but a soul was in pain, now it’s at rest 🙏🏻 Heaven earned a new angel 😇 prayers for you and your family. everything’s going to be ok 💖
I know how you feel. I’ve nearly been where you are as well because a friend I know has been thinking suicidal thoughts as well. But my best advice to you is don’t be sad that he is gone, be happy that he was there with you and your family. Don’t let the sorrow of his death get to you, think of the happy times you had with him. He may be gone, but he will always be with you.
I lost my dad on 4th 2018 but his birthday is September 30th I feel you buddy I honestly do, keep strong and keep your head up life is truly a blessing! Stay up buddy
Billie doesn't like people joking about this song, you know why? His father died at the beginning of september of a year I dont remember, and when he was crying, his mother came into his room and he said "wake me up when september ends"

Wake me up till September Ends!!! This will be a month in September that God the Father will make sure the world will always remember!!!
Billie Joe Armstrong AKA Green Day. Wrote this song for his father. His father died on September 1,1982 due to cancer. At his father's funeral, Billie cried, ran home and locked himself in his room. What a sad song 😢
Im sorry about your loss! Please recite a Divine Mercy Chaplet on His behalf! It's a very powerful prayer invoking the unfathomable mercy of Jesus Christ. The promises attached to praying it are amazing. God bless you.
I'm so sorry to hear that I send out my condolences and love. God bless you! Stay strong. Your sister is your guardian angel from now on and forever until you two meet again someday ❤️❤️
It is said that Billie Joe's Father, with whom he was really close with, breathed his last on a September 1st. Billie was in tears and devastated and locked himself in his room. When his Mom came over to call him out, Billie cried out the lines which is the title of this song. This is heartbreaking stuff.
Lost my father at 13, it's been 13 years. I lost him due to Alcoholism on October 15th, 2005. September was the month that I had to say my final goodbyes - even when he was incoherent. The last thing I said to him was I Love You.. he somehow heard me in that one moment and told me that he loved me, even called me my childhood nickname he made especially for me. "I Love You, Pancha." I will never forget that moment, or when he held my hand so tightly that I couldn't move. That was the last time I ever saw my father. God rest his soul.
Really wanna be a dick rn but I won't cos damn that's sad. My condolences (I think I used that word correctly, not that smart lol) but srsly tho, sad times
I lost my grandpa couple years ago on September 2020 due to Covid and I just lost my dad a couple of days ago on Sept 3, 2022 to liver failure. This song has never hit so hard until now. Literally feels like someone took my heart out and stomped on it over and over then put it back.😭😭 I beg anyone reading this to please please don’t take your loved ones for granted. Family is all you really have in life. My dad was always there for me no matter what. He’s no longer in any pain so I’m at peace with that part im just going to miss him dearly😭😭 it’s not goodbye though, it’s I’ll see you down the road. Love you always Pops and Welito, rest easy.
My condolences to you dude. Both of my grandfathers passed within a year of each other. One of them went painlessly, but the other... I wont go into specifics because of personal reasons, but he had to deal with my grandma developing a very... saddening condition, and he didn't take it well... at all. I miss both of them.
Hey everyone. My dad just passed away from corona. 56 years old. The most mighty, best man the world has ever known. This song really hits me hard. I'm in tears. I'm wondering if there's any kind of support group that I can join. Let me know please. Much appreciated.
shit dude i am so, so sorry i can not imagine the pain u must be going through rn. unfortunately i dont know any support group u could join, but id say friends r the best ppl to talk to in these situations theyll certainly be there for you. stay well my friend all the power in the world to you
Rest In Peace to my mother who was killed by a terrible man when I was 14 years old and has scarred the rest of my high school life. She taught me almost everything I know from music to how to study and how to show more compassion than others deserve. I love you, even though I never said it enough.
I'm so sorry about your mom.. I'm happy you have those special memories with her to cherish and look back on to remember her with happiness, even if it's painful. I lost my mom at 14 too, but she had a year long battle with a rare brain tumor. I hope you know she's there with you in everything you do; how you act, the way you laugh, the way you write, the way you speak, you'll find that she's there in every little thing you do, and I hope you find/have found comfort in that. I want to tell you this because no one else did to me, only told me how she was here in spirit and the typical things people say. I've found her in the way I laugh, how I scrunch my nose, the freckles on my face like she had, how I write certain letters, in little things I do and say and that has brought me more comfort than one's words to me. I hope this helps you in some way..
I'm not gonna lie, I appreciate all of the added comments in support but that last one made me cry a little. Thank you guys so much. And if your wondering, I am ok with the fact she's gone and I have started writing music bc that's what she said I had most passion in. In her honor, I apologize for everyone's loss and appreciate everyone's strength
I lost my father in February, he was having complications with kidney failure, he was only 57, he got to raise me, but he will never get to see his grand-kids, or even if i will find love, He wont be there to see me graduate from job corps, i was called home on February 8th, in that short time span, i lost my dad, my grandpa, and my grandma. my dad was one of the best people this earth could have had, i wish he hadn't passed away when he did, i miss my dad so much, even writing this, i am tearing up, there was so much i wanted to do with my dad, i could not even begin to think, I wish he would have pulled thru, but he had too many problems, i love you dad, and i will always miss you.
Sorry for your lost...it's just until the end, we will keep losing the one we love. One day, we will too. My pray for everyone. Stay strong and stay safe.
Bless you and your father🙏..I understand your pain,I lost my best friend in the world,(my mother) to cancer.. we'll never forget them but he would want you to find joy in living❤️
Exactly how I feel, for some reason a lot of Green Day's songs do this to me, and I don't listen to their music regularly. It's when I feel like breaking down I just listen and let it all out.
I used to play this on the guitar for my little sister. She's grown, acting like a little punk. I still love her, but I miss the old times when she would actually take her time to sit down with me and listen to me. Now she's just on her phone, texting her friends, or focusing on her make up.
Adrian M Gutierrez, My older brother had a long battle with lung cancer in 2016. He was 23 watching the world slip through his fingers and this is the song that gave him peace. Beneath his strength there was a sea of emotion that I still hear with this song. Now an innocent young man sleeping through his second september.. I will never forget what he lost. I love and miss you so much Adrian. September never ends.
Your friends and your family are the best part of your life.Even if some of them lose touch with you or something bad happens between you and them, you will always have a soft corner for them somewhere in your heart. And as time passes by you will get to know the importance that person has in your life.This song really brings out emotions within me.
I wish I would have known this come my 12th birthday. Me and my dad never had a good relationship. However he tried every where that year to find this album for my birthday. It was sold out and he felt awful. That was the most emotion I had ever seen from him. He passed away August 25th that year. This song has gotten me through the past 13 years. Because honestly I wish I could wake up when September ends. Maybe it would be easier.
19 years on September 30th 1999, my soul mate passed away from melanoma cancer. Not a day goes by where I dont think of him & miss him. Gone but never forgotten. In memory of William Todd Fuller 1/04/66 to 9/30/99
It's september 30th... we made it guys... to anyone reading this... I love and respect you as a human being and hope the best the rest of 2020 ahead, hang in there friend
This song reminds me of my brother, not because I lost him, but when I was a toddler I have memories of him listening to it a bunch, I think he found it moving or something. I don’t get to see him that much anymore. Current events have been really tough on him and he’s changed his career path in a major way twice. Last time he visited home, he was going to stay for 11 days but 2 days in, a huge fight broke out in my family, and no one noticed he had left in the midst of the arguing. None of us have seen him since he left. It has been half a year at the time of this post. He just seems very detached from the rest of us and I think he feels like he’s on his own and he doesn’t have anyone to go to. I think about him every night and I dearly hope he is and will be ok. I miss you, bro.
Dedicated to my grandfather who passed away last month.Im glad i had the oppoturnity to take care of him in his final days. Im grateful im the one that god has destined to look after him. Past 16 years living with him, those days were the first time i cried infront of him. He couldnt speak, but i know he loves me. Everytime i wake him up for breakfast lunch dinner, everytime i fed him, his tears flow. He was a good man. A great grandfather. i still remember throughout my whole life, things we do together, all of that. Im glad its still in my memories and i hope that it will stay forever.I miss u pops, your laugh, your smiles, everything about you pops, i miss you. At your funeral, i convinced myself that it was just a dream, a nightmare. I closed my eyes, hoping that all of this was not real. but its the reality. Im speechless. i cant even cry. i feel like i want to scream so hard that my throat bleed.My heart was crushed. I will never forget you grandpa. I will never. You were the man pops.My hero.Our familys hero, your familys hero.I will always know that youre up there watching me. Protecting me.Guide me. And i wanna be a great man like you when i grow up. Youre my idol grandpa. I dont care if ive only known you for 16 years, i dont care about that. Im just letting u know that our home will be empty without you. But you always be in my heart, or everywhere i go. i will remeber you. you were the best grandpa ever. Rest in peace old man. Ill be seeing you soon. Cant wait for that. love you till the day i die sincerely, your grandson :sorry if it was too long. if you dont wanna read it its okay :sorry for the bad grammars. i cried while typing those. rip grandpops 1944-2020❤
This song will never be a joke to me. I lost my dad in 2003. He committed suicide after spending Father's day weekend with him and I was only 12. Now, 17 years later, I pray to skip the entire month of September every year. The 23rd would have been his 54th birthday. I don't even know what he would look like now. The last time I saw him, he was 37, and I hugged him goodbye as he cried. I knew he was sad, but I couldn't have known what he was planning. My last words to him were, "I love you Daddy, I'll see you next weekend." It still hurts now just as bad as then. Sometimes even more. And I'm still waiting for "next weekend".
This song resonates with me. My grandmother who I loved so very much passed away in March 8 years ago and this song makes me shed lots of tears thinking about what I lost. She was like a mother figure to me. This song completely t Gives off the feelings I feel when I think about her. She will always be remembered. I love you grandma.
it's September 30, 2019; the end is here let's listen to this one more time everyone Edit: good morning people and holy shit 1.2k likes, thanks everyone and happy September 1st, let's rehear this legend of a song till September 30th 2020 and everyone wake me up when September ends
Turns out this song’s origin is about Billy’s dad who died of cancer when he was ten. After the funeral, he ran and locked himself in his room. When his mom came and knocked he said the quote “Wake me up when September ends.”
When I was in 8th grade, this song didn’t hit me hard. Now I’m a year older, and things have changed. My father had been suffering from cancer, and passed away last November. The month before his death was the worst period in my life. I realised that he was dying. He couldn’t have survived. That was it. The pain for me came before his death, not after. He died 3 days before his 43rd Birthday. I cried once, at his funeral. But this songs almost makes me cry, almost. To be honest, I get jealous when I see a family with both the parents, or adult sons with their dads. He couldn’t raise me up, only for 14 years. Things have changed from then. I’m happier, I enjoy little things. I love my mother, she’s my everything. I think I’ll be here even 7 or 20 years from now. I got to know a new music genre, with a lovely community. To everyone who reads this, you deserve love, there will always be a solution. Enjoy little things. I may be young, but this whole adventure completely changed my life. An enormous hug to everyone out there. 🤍💕
More power to you dearest 💜 I can feel the void. But this feeling of lost is temporary but your father is transcendental, his memories. 😊 One of my very close person lost his mom so I can feel this insightfully. "Lights will guide you home and ignite your bone and I'll try to fix you". Love from India 💚
Man, this hitted me so hard... I'm feeling so low after this... I have both the parents, but i can't just ignore your text and go ahead... So, if you're needing help or someone to talk with, I'll be here, and I know there are some others too... Power for you, and virtual hugs
The name of the song came from. The funeral of his father he ran home and locked himself in his room and his mother tried to get him out. Which he responded with "wake me up when September ends."
I remember as a child I would listen to this in the back of the car and when I hear it now it makes me remember about my childhood and how I miss my old friends too much, how I used to be so happy back then. I know it sounds edgy but when I saw the comments I figured I could share my feelings, What I would give to be with my old pals again.
It's great to hear this, it makes me feel a little less alone? Well, I used to listen to this a few years ago. I never had a lot of friends but now that I have any it makes me feel regretful. I remember of something pretty fucked up that happened to me in september and I lost a friend forever. Well, I think I'd do anything to see they again. But it's too late to say that now, right? Yeh.
Spartan 1337 Ya That's how I am How I used to be happy and my brothers didn't hurt me or I didn't get yelled at for no reason Or not having any problems
It happens the same to me but with the song "Every breath you take" of The Police. When I was younger, everytime my mother and I went to somewhere, she played that song in her car and I always heard it from the back. I loved that song, and I still loving it. But it bring backs memories when I was a child, and I don't know why that memories makes me feel sad :C
My dad died 2 weeks and 3 days ago on July 14, 2017, the following Wednesday was his funeral, and today, July 31st is his birthday. I'm 18 and I'm going into my last year of high school and him not being here will make it the hardest year of school! My older brother graduated this year and our dad was so proud of him, which I'll never get to hear him say, that he's proud of me! All I can think about is all the this I never said to him and everything I wish I said! When ever I got in a fight with my parents they'd often say, "You're going to miss use when we're gone" and they were right, I miss him ever second of ever day and will from now until my end! I took the time I had with him for granted, who ever's reading this, if both your parents are alive don't learn from the mistakes of me and others, use the time you have with the people who love and care about wisely! Don't take it for granted, tell them you love and and how much them matter to you while you can!......................................................................................... Happy birthday Dad, love you!
If one or both of your parents are deceased then don't forget them, remember and cherish the time you did have with them but don't forget yourself, you have to continue living no matter how hard it gets or how much you hurt, because we honor the dead by LIVING!
Andy Rossi Hey.. My mom died last year august the 12th from a heart failure. I know how hard it is. I was 17 at the time, now 18. If you need anyone to talk to please don't hesitate to contact me. I really do care and I'd love to help you the best I can if you're interested. I wish you and your family the best of luck and I'm so sorry about your dad...
I'm sorta in the same place. My dad died 2 an a half years ago. I'm a junior in high school now and I still sorely miss him, but I know he would be proud of what I have accomplished
I feel you. My grandfather recently passed. He was my best friend. He had dementia though so it was just a matter of time. It sucks knowing that he won't be next door anymore.
I lost my dad to cancer almost 8 years ago. This is one of his favorite songs. It hurts to listen, but it reminds me of the time we had. I will always cherish this song.
Same thing here. While not in September, it still applies. I almost never cry, but I do every time this song plays. God bless you, I hope your father found his way home, even if he waited till the last minute.
@@jaideng721 thank you so much. He was always a follower of God, but he had his days. ❤️ thank you!! I believe he found his way home. I’m sorry for your loss❤️
I lost my friend to HIV and AIDS today, and coincidentally, September is about to start. This song describes my situation so perfectly right now. EDIT : Nope, apparently he's not dead. He faked his own death and lied to me because he thought it would be funny to fuck with me.
The two moods of September: Earth, Wind and Fire - September: Happy, cheerful, energetic Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends: Gloomy, melancholy, somewhat sad
How much this song means to me...I'm not typing my feelings cause it's verbally impossible to express my feelings Just wanna say Thank you Green Day...
I am a fan in korea. I first listened to this song when I was 10 years old and now I am 19 years old. I am about to take the college entrance exam. sometimes I come to listen to it,but I feel touched. lastly.. I thank green day.
Born on the 9th of September 1997, I never was supposed to have a chance in life, but I did. I suffered a traumatic brain injury at birth that damaged half my brain. My childhood was mostly spent in and out of hospitals trying to get me the least bit well again. I still dont remember most of it. I guess something's are to traumatic to remember, i can only really remember things back to when I was 11.When I was 6 years old everything turned around when I had a hemishereectomy (the removal of half the brain). What was supposed to be a 10 day operation turned into a 2 month operation. The first one didnt work. So they had to go back in, then I got sick...really sick. I almost went out the same way I came in. The doctors had to go in a third time but this time they went in blind without grinding the brain because if they did I would have died. I left my brain surgery heathly and half my field of vision gone. Every September I'm reminded where it all began. Every September I'm reminded i came out on top though half of me might be gone, and still sometimes I wish it was all but a dream.
That September was years ago, and guess what bro. You're here. That's what matters, not who you were, but who you *are*. Don't be reminded of your hardships, be reminded that you fought like Hell and came out victorious over the pain. Take it for a grain of salt from a random Internet guy, but you're stronger than your pain. Stay blessed, happy early 21st birthday, and keep on fighting. Life is a struggle, but it's worth every second.
Lost my best friend marc in August, his birthday was the 30th of September nd he always used to sing this song with me, this sing means so much to me xxx
SOrry for your loss, I hope you get with your band very well... and keep up your band and do make music for people like us... Unfortunately, I don't have a band, but I do play guitar. :) Stay calm and hppy
The song is about when his father died on the first of September when he was a child, so he ran home crying and locked himself in his room, and when his mother knocked on the door he simply responded with; "Wake me up when September ends."
I'm sorry for you loss, my dad also died because of covid in February and it's so hard even if I know that we weren't in a very close relationship (sorry for my not good enough english)
i wanted to dedicate this to my 7 year old dog. i know a lot of you all would think im crazy for dedicating this to a dog but i just lost him last sunday. for 7 years he was a friend when i didnt have friends at school. but when i did eventually make friends i spent less time with him. but he was always waiting for me by the door when i got home late. ears up, as if listening to hear what i had to say. his mood reflected mine. he felt the same ups and downs that ive had so far in life. but my dog would was full of character. audacious and loyal. two words that would best describe him. and i always play this song right before september ends just because for nostalgic reasons. but this year hit me. so for my dog Butch Jason. you live through me now buddy. i love you
For me this song is more or less about how much we change as humans the older we get, and how often times we hate what we end up turning into, and aspire to go back to a time when we actually liked who we were.
its been almost 7 years my father passed away.. and his birthday is on september... this song remind me of him .. happy father's day to all the father out there.. 21 june 2020
Exand Stryker internalised feelings which were created by your thougths stucked in your body.How you feel you think and how you think you feel.Still my favorite song when im at the lowest levels of consciousness.
7 Years really did go by so fast. Today marks the day that I lost my mother. She was a cancer patient, and she fought like hell and almost won. But all great things come to an end eventually, I guess. It's been a hell of a journey and I'm still struggling to heal, but hey. Cheers to those still hanging on, and cheers to those long gone. 21/9/2016
WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS; A sad story behind the hit 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.
In the video for this song we see a young couple get separated due to circumstance. This shows the director's view of the song: we should treasure our loved ones and never take them for granted, because they can be taken away from us any moment.
Ctto
Shit that's deep
Lmao
I never noticed that before. Respect to Billie Joe, He always cries about his father in every concerts while playing this song!
thanks for the reminder about this.
What bullshit
Hunh, I always thought that considering the Album, this was a war protest song. The titular September being September, 2001.
This song brings me memories. My father passed away 5 years ago, August. My birthday is in September, my parents were divorced, so I could visit my dad only in “important” days, my birthday was one of those, I was so happy, it was almost here, and I could visit my dad. Well, he died. Just when my birthday was coming. It’s sad remembering how excited I was for visiting him, then I got the news, I still remember how much I cried and screamed. I wanted September to end, to stop suffering by thinking of how my life would have go if he was here.

I’m so sorry you had to through that. Most of us are lucky to never go through things like that as a child and we need to think more about those who are affected by tragedies like this.

I dedicate this song to my friend keil, (pronounced like Kyle) who passed away today, september 24th, 2014 after battling cancer for 4 years. 22 years old is not enough. I'll miss you.....RIP.
22 years is definitely not enough. It's a shame at all the people that are taken at such a young age, whatever the circumstances may be. I'm going to be 18 within a week, and lately, I just been wondering if I'll get to live a long and prosperous life or just fall victim to one of life's many traps. Either way, I'm sorry for your loss and hope that you have the strength to persevere through this difficult time.

Just live life day by day,do things that make you smile,be near your loved ones.Don't waste your youth thinking that bad things might happen in the future.
At least i can continue living, knowing he is no longer suffering. It was at a point where he had to get his left leg amputated. He still had his humor and knowledgeability with him. He knew he was suffering but didnt want to show it. And he did a damn good job at that.
I'm sure he's in a better place now,free from all the pain.From your description he seemed to be one strong guy and a good friend.
He was. And he wanted to enlist in the marines after we graduated from Encinal High School in 2010 (go Jets) but the cancer prevented that from happening. But like i said, he's no longer suffering.
I forgot all about this song til this week. My brother committed suicide on September 8th, he was only 20. I remember September being hell, a hell full of guilt, sadness, loneliness, numbness, anger, confusion, and missing him so bad. All of September 9th felt like a journey. Here's my family's story. It all started at 12 AM on September 9th, my brother was supposedly at work like always, he'd come home in a few hours. I remember brushing my teeth, and I heard loud knocking. I froze, I felt as if something was very wrong. My mother opened the door and we saw two uniformed police walk in, and ask if we knew Christopher (my brother). We said yes, and they describe him. His description matched the one the police told us. My mom walked out, she knew something horrible happened. My dad, sister, and I sat in the couch and the police told us that my brother had walked in front of a train. I remember everything felt fuzzy and blurry, and the house broke into violent sobs and screams. My dad was shocked, he sat still for a while. My mom was screaming, she called all of our family and they came over at around 1-2 AM. Growing up, my brother was glued to his half brother, they were best friends. I also got along well with my brother, and I remember always worrying about him because he had epilepsy and depression. Anyway, at 8 AM my dad woke me up and asked if I would like to go to the train tracks with him. I did, and what we saw was burned into my mind. No, there wasn't a body. But we found one of his socks, torn up cloth, and.. There was a lot of blood. We returned there later with my half brother, and my mom's best friend. We made a small memorial along the tracks. We left his favorite snack. Hot cheetos and a bottle of sprite. We cried, and I remember staring at the train passing by. A few hours later, the police confirmed it was him by his finger print. I was searching my brothers social media and found his last post. His last post was hours before he died. His post contained a picture of the canals that lead to the train, and a selfie. His expression was hard to identify, I still can't figure it out to this day. We later searched his bedroom and found a few boxes titled "mementos", inside was a note. The note told us not to ruin or throw away the stuff in the boxes, even if he was dead. There was no suicide note at all, or any reason as to why he did it. All we know is that he was always depressed after his friend committed suicide in 2017, and a few days before Christopher died, he told my mom he was nervous for October. October is the month his friend passed away on. I remember the last days with Christopher too. He seemed lost, gloomy, and so upset. We tried talking to him, but nothing really helped. On his last day, he acted completely normal. No one could have stopped him that day, and when he walked in front of the train it was dark. About 3 days ago we finally had his funeral, and we all shared memories and love to him.
i’m so sorry, i know what he did can be seen as selfish or whatnot. but a soul was in pain, now it’s at rest 🙏🏻 Heaven earned a new angel 😇 prayers for you and your family. everything’s going to be ok 💖
I know how you feel my cousin did it on his birthday September 7 was in life support till the 26 it hurts so bad
Heartfelt sympathy. Sending virtual hugs.
I'm so sorry
I know how you feel. I’ve nearly been where you are as well because a friend I know has been thinking suicidal thoughts as well. But my best advice to you is don’t be sad that he is gone, be happy that he was there with you and your family. Don’t let the sorrow of his death get to you, think of the happy times you had with him. He may be gone, but he will always be with you.
Just lost my Dad on September 3rd, guess I’ll be playing this again in seven years. Love you Pops

It is said that Billie Joe's Father, with whom he was really close with, breathed his last on a September 1st. Billie was in tears and devastated and locked himself in his room. When his Mom came over to call him out, Billie cried out the lines which is the title of this song. This is heartbreaking stuff.
I just figured out and I'm crying and my ex is trying to comfort me but on the inside my ex like "you freaking wierdo"

Lost my father at 13, it's been 13 years. I lost him due to Alcoholism on October 15th, 2005. September was the month that I had to say my final goodbyes - even when he was incoherent. The last thing I said to him was I Love You.. he somehow heard me in that one moment and told me that he loved me, even called me my childhood nickname he made especially for me. "I Love You, Pancha." I will never forget that moment, or when he held my hand so tightly that I couldn't move. That was the last time I ever saw my father. God rest his soul.
Angelina Zarate so sad
Really wanna be a dick rn but I won't cos damn that's sad. My condolences (I think I used that word correctly, not that smart lol) but srsly tho, sad times
Alcoholism claims too many lives. My heart goes out to you.

I lost my grandpa couple years ago on September 2020 due to Covid and I just lost my dad a couple of days ago on Sept 3, 2022 to liver failure. This song has never hit so hard until now. Literally feels like someone took my heart out and stomped on it over and over then put it back.😭😭 I beg anyone reading this to please please don’t take your loved ones for granted. Family is all you really have in life. My dad was always there for me no matter what. He’s no longer in any pain so I’m at peace with that part im just going to miss him dearly😭😭 it’s not goodbye though, it’s I’ll see you down the road. Love you always Pops and Welito, rest easy.
My condolences to you dude. Both of my grandfathers passed within a year of each other. One of them went painlessly, but the other... I wont go into specifics because of personal reasons, but he had to deal with my grandma developing a very... saddening condition, and he didn't take it well... at all. I miss both of them.
Hey everyone. My dad just passed away from corona. 56 years old. The most mighty, best man the world has ever known. This song really hits me hard. I'm in tears. I'm wondering if there's any kind of support group that I can join. Let me know please.
Much appreciated.
respect bro.. 🕊️♥️!
shit dude i am so, so sorry i can not imagine the pain u must be going through rn. unfortunately i dont know any support group u could join, but id say friends r the best ppl to talk to in these situations theyll certainly be there for you. stay well my friend all the power in the world to you
I hope everything gets better for you I’m sorry we lost a saint I’ll be praying for you brother much love
Respect❤️
Im sorry for your loss Mendel. Find pleasure in the small things you remember of him, and the influences he left with you.
Rest In Peace to my mother who was killed by a terrible man when I was 14 years old and has scarred the rest of my high school life. She taught me almost everything I know from music to how to study and how to show more compassion than others deserve. I love you, even though I never said it enough.
this comment deserves more likes
Sorry for ur loss. Stay strong bro
😔😢 now I’m sad
I'm so sorry about your mom.. I'm happy you have those special memories with her to cherish and look back on to remember her with happiness, even if it's painful. I lost my mom at 14 too, but she had a year long battle with a rare brain tumor. I hope you know she's there with you in everything you do; how you act, the way you laugh, the way you write, the way you speak, you'll find that she's there in every little thing you do, and I hope you find/have found comfort in that. I want to tell you this because no one else did to me, only told me how she was here in spirit and the typical things people say. I've found her in the way I laugh, how I scrunch my nose, the freckles on my face like she had, how I write certain letters, in little things I do and say and that has brought me more comfort than one's words to me. I hope this helps you in some way..
I'm not gonna lie, I appreciate all of the added comments in support but that last one made me cry a little. Thank you guys so much. And if your wondering, I am ok with the fact she's gone and I have started writing music bc that's what she said I had most passion in. In her honor, I apologize for everyone's loss and appreciate everyone's strength
I lost my father in February, he was having complications with kidney failure, he was only 57, he got to raise me, but he will never get to see his grand-kids, or even if i will find love, He wont be there to see me graduate from job corps, i was called home on February 8th, in that short time span, i lost my dad, my grandpa, and my grandma. my dad was one of the best people this earth could have had, i wish he hadn't passed away when he did, i miss my dad so much, even writing this, i am tearing up, there was so much i wanted to do with my dad, i could not even begin to think, I wish he would have pulled thru, but he had too many problems, i love you dad, and i will always miss you.
Stay strong man.
Just know there's other people praying for you. Im one of them.

Cant listen to this without crying... I know this song for some years now but still. It gets me everytime.
Exactly how I feel, for some reason a lot of Green Day's songs do this to me, and I don't listen to their music regularly. It's when I feel like breaking down I just listen and let it all out.

Hey I’m just saying that for people who don’t know it
My brother used to play this on guitar to me when I was little💕😢
freaking good old memories
I used to play this on the guitar for my little sister. She's grown, acting like a little punk. I still love her, but I miss the old times when she would actually take her time to sit down with me and listen to me. Now she's just on her phone, texting her friends, or focusing on her make up.
:(
Gnar someday my friend, she will ask you to play this song for her one more time. Believe me
MINE TOO
I feel so empty w/o my dad, it’s been exactly a month since he was gone. I’m 14 and can’t move on!
I’m really so sorry. My dad is somewhat abusive so I’m here to talk if you need anything mate🙂👍
You can do this. Stay strong. You are strong. You will get through this I promise. The good parts are coming 💜💐
I'm sorry for your loss, stay strong I know you can do it
It's only been a month. Let yourself grieve. In time you will learn to live with the pain. It will never go away completely, but it will get easier.
Just trust me dude times will get better you just have to keep looking up and staying motivated
Adrian M Gutierrez,
My older brother had a long battle with lung cancer in 2016. He was 23 watching the world slip through his fingers and this is the song that gave him peace. Beneath his strength there was a sea of emotion that I still hear with this song.
Now an innocent young man sleeping through his second september.. I will never forget what he lost. I love and miss you so much Adrian. September never ends.

May your brother rest in peace

Your friends and your family are the best part of your life.Even if some of them lose touch with you or something bad happens between you and them, you will always have a soft corner for them somewhere in your heart. And as time passes by you will get to know the importance that person has in your life.This song really brings out emotions within me.
For real same dude
Amit Songadkar wow 😮 amazing
U r right brother.
That is the truest thing I’ve heard today thank you
I wish I would have known this come my 12th birthday. Me and my dad never had a good relationship. However he tried every where that year to find this album for my birthday. It was sold out and he felt awful. That was the most emotion I had ever seen from him. He passed away August 25th that year. This song has gotten me through the past 13 years. Because honestly I wish I could wake up when September ends. Maybe it would be easier.

This song reminds me of my brother, not because I lost him, but when I was a toddler I have memories of him listening to it a bunch, I think he found it moving or something. I don’t get to see him that much anymore. Current events have been really tough on him and he’s changed his career path in a major way twice. Last time he visited home, he was going to stay for 11 days but 2 days in, a huge fight broke out in my family, and no one noticed he had left in the midst of the arguing. None of us have seen him since he left. It has been half a year at the time of this post. He just seems very detached from the rest of us and I think he feels like he’s on his own and he doesn’t have anyone to go to. I think about him every night and I dearly hope he is and will be ok. I miss you, bro.
I'm really sorry that happened. Wishing you nothing but the best for you and your family.
i hope you can talk to him soon :(
I’ll pray for him 🙏
Chiamalo! ❤️
Contact him let him know you don’t care about the argument and you Love him.
Dedicated to my grandfather who passed away last month.Im glad i had the oppoturnity to take care of him in his final days. Im grateful im the one that god has destined to look after him. Past 16 years living with him, those days were the first time i cried infront of him. He couldnt speak, but i know he loves me. Everytime i wake him up for breakfast lunch dinner, everytime i fed him, his tears flow. He was a good man. A great grandfather. i still remember throughout my whole life, things we do together, all of that. Im glad its still in my memories and i hope that it will stay forever.I miss u pops, your laugh, your smiles, everything about you pops, i miss you. At your funeral, i convinced myself that it was just a dream, a nightmare. I closed my eyes, hoping that all of this was not real. but its the reality. Im speechless. i cant even cry. i feel like i want to scream so hard that my throat bleed.My heart was crushed. I will never forget you grandpa. I will never. You were the man pops.My hero.Our familys hero, your familys hero.I will always know that youre up there watching me. Protecting me.Guide me. And i wanna be a great man like you when i grow up. Youre my idol grandpa. I dont care if ive only known you for 16 years, i dont care about that. Im just letting u know that our home will be empty without you. But you always be in my heart, or everywhere i go. i will remeber you. you were the best grandpa ever. Rest in peace old man. Ill be seeing you soon. Cant wait for that.
love you till the day i die
sincerely, your grandson

This song will never be a joke to me. I lost my dad in 2003. He committed suicide after spending Father's day weekend with him and I was only 12. Now, 17 years later, I pray to skip the entire month of September every year. The 23rd would have been his 54th birthday. I don't even know what he would look like now. The last time I saw him, he was 37, and I hugged him goodbye as he cried. I knew he was sad, but I couldn't have known what he was planning. My last words to him were, "I love you Daddy, I'll see you next weekend." It still hurts now just as bad as then. Sometimes even more. And I'm still waiting for "next weekend".
Super late but I’m sorry for your loss and I hope you’re well

Turns out this song’s origin is about Billy’s dad who died of cancer when he was ten. After the funeral, he ran and locked himself in his room. When his mom came and knocked he said the quote “Wake me up when September ends.”

It's an obligation to listen to this every September.
hillaryous life along with September by Earth Wind, and Fire on every September 21st.
Me too.
Yes. When my sister feels tired, her catch phrase is "Wake me up when September ends" even if it is not September....
hillaryous life it's obligatory to listen to it all year round
hillaryous life Wake me up when September ends;
A message to the future generations. Don't let this song die.

When I was in 8th grade, this song didn’t hit me hard. Now I’m a year older, and things have changed.
My father had been suffering from cancer, and passed away last November. The month before his death was the worst period in my life. I realised that he was dying. He couldn’t have survived. That was it. The pain for me came before his death, not after. He died 3 days before his 43rd Birthday. I cried once, at his funeral. But this songs almost makes me cry, almost. To be honest, I get jealous when I see a family with both the parents, or adult sons with their dads. He couldn’t raise me up, only for 14 years. Things have changed from then. I’m happier, I enjoy little things. I love my mother, she’s my everything. I think I’ll be here even 7 or 20 years from now. I got to know a new music genre, with a lovely community. To everyone who reads this, you deserve love, there will always be a solution. Enjoy little things. I may be young, but this whole adventure completely changed my life. An enormous hug to everyone out there. 🤍💕
More power to you dearest 💜 I can feel the void. But this feeling of lost is temporary but your father is transcendental, his memories. 😊 One of my very close person lost his mom so I can feel this insightfully. "Lights will guide you home and ignite your bone and I'll try to fix you". Love from India 💚
You too take care
Thanks to everyone, you are lovely. Please take care of yourselves.🤍
*gives virtual hug*
Man, this hitted me so hard... I'm feeling so low after this... I have both the parents, but i can't just ignore your text and go ahead... So, if you're needing help or someone to talk with, I'll be here, and I know there are some others too... Power for you, and virtual hugs
Thanks
The name of the song came from. The funeral of his father he ran home and locked himself in his room and his mother tried to get him out. Which he responded with "wake me up when September ends."
i didnt! thats so .....
well...thanks sherlock!
and then became a great song!
rly i knew this even before i was listening to green day :/
when you think about it ... you see it in the song .... thats sad ........ :(
I remember as a child I would listen to this in the back of the car and when I hear it now it makes me remember about my childhood and how I miss my old friends too much, how I used to be so happy back then. I know it sounds edgy but when I saw the comments I figured I could share my feelings, What I would give to be with my old pals again.
It's great to hear this, it makes me feel a little less alone?
Well, I used to listen to this a few years ago. I never had a lot of friends but now that I have any it makes me feel regretful. I remember of something pretty fucked up that happened to me in september and I lost a friend forever. Well, I think I'd do anything to see they again. But it's too late to say that now, right? Yeh.
Spartan 1337 I remember this as a child too
Dude... me too....
Spartan 1337
Ya
That's how I am
How I used to be happy and my brothers didn't hurt me or I didn't get yelled at for no reason
Or not having any problems
It happens the same to me but with the song "Every breath you take" of The Police. When I was younger, everytime my mother and I went to somewhere, she played that song in her car and I always heard it from the back. I loved that song, and I still loving it. But it bring backs memories when I was a child, and I don't know why that memories makes me feel sad :C
Wake me up when Coronavirus ends

Little brother just passed a few days ago, never thought this song would hit me like this....
So very sorry to hear this. My sincere condolences and my heart goes out to you. ❤️🌹🙏🙏🌹❤️XX
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you feel ok
Everything will be alright. stay strong brother 😊❤
I know exactly what you mean. My father passed days ago and this song... hits hard now.
I am so sorry for you loss, I am with you in spirit.
My deepest sympathies.
The people we love never truly leave us.
As my memory rests, but never forgets what I lost. I lost a lot. But I still have this song.
Almost 9 years later and still my favorite song, and band.
Happy birthday Little Brother, I love you.
Me too
My dad died 2 weeks and 3 days ago on July 14, 2017, the following Wednesday was his funeral, and today, July 31st is his birthday. I'm 18 and I'm going into my last year of high school and him not being here will make it the hardest year of school! My older brother graduated this year and our dad was so proud of him, which I'll never get to hear him say, that he's proud of me! All I can think about is all the this I never said to him and everything I wish I said! When ever I got in a fight with my parents they'd often say, "You're going to miss use when we're gone" and they were right, I miss him ever second of ever day and will from now until my end! I took the time I had with him for granted, who ever's reading this, if both your parents are alive don't learn from the mistakes of me and others, use the time you have with the people who love and care about wisely! Don't take it for granted, tell them you love and and how much them matter to you while you can!......................................................................................... Happy birthday Dad, love you!
If one or both of your parents are deceased then don't forget them, remember and cherish the time you did have with them but don't forget yourself, you have to continue living no matter how hard it gets or how much you hurt, because we honor the dead by LIVING!
Andy Rossi Hey.. My mom died last year august the 12th from a heart failure. I know how hard it is. I was 17 at the time, now 18. If you need anyone to talk to please don't hesitate to contact me. I really do care and I'd love to help you the best I can if you're interested. I wish you and your family the best of luck and I'm so sorry about your dad...
You make me cry 😭😭😭
I'm sorta in the same place. My dad died 2 an a half years ago. I'm a junior in high school now and I still sorely miss him, but I know he would be proud of what I have accomplished
Andy Rossi I only have a mom I don't know where my father is but I love my mom even more because I dont have a father
my parents are fighting and I miss my grandma who comforted me thru the fights RIP grandma ceci
This made me realise that how important my grandma
+Clarence John Alfonso ya mine was a great person
Well I gotta take care of my grandmom, she's nice too
+chekunzy sin thanks?
I feel you. My grandfather recently passed. He was my best friend. He had dementia though so it was just a matter of time. It sucks knowing that he won't be next door anymore.
I lost my dad to cancer almost 8 years ago. This is one of his favorite songs. It hurts to listen, but it reminds me of the time we had. I will always cherish this song.
Same thing here. While not in September, it still applies. I almost never cry, but I do every time this song plays.
God bless you, I hope your father found his way home, even if he waited till the last minute.
@@jaideng721 thank you so much. He was always a follower of God, but he had his days. ❤️ thank you!! I believe he found his way home.
I’m sorry for your loss❤️
I just randomly started crying for no reason hearing this song.

Here's to the first song of the month.
As my memory rests, but never forgets what I lost- the best part of a song
10 years ago my dad past on november 2009 and im just a 13 years old then. How I wish I can talk to him even in minutes.

Kinda of describes my life right now

I lost my friend to HIV and AIDS today, and coincidentally, September is about to start.
This song describes my situation so perfectly right now.
EDIT : Nope, apparently he's not dead. He faked his own death and lied to me because he thought it would be funny to fuck with me.
I'm scrolling the comments and i saw yours. I'm so sorry, I hope you'll be okay
Risa- chan I appreciate it. Thanks :)

*WHY ASKING IF ANYONE LISTENING IN SEPTEMBER 2019??BRUH WE NEVER LEFT*
True
Here.
What happened in September 1 2019? Sorry I'm clueless
@@kellykitchen5429 cause the title is september and before they sleep they listen to this song so that they could wake up when september ends
true but we all come back in september to talk about september cause why not
Born on the 9th of September 1997, I never was supposed to have a chance in life, but I did. I suffered a traumatic brain injury at birth that damaged half my brain. My childhood was mostly spent in and out of hospitals trying to get me the least bit well again. I still dont remember most of it. I guess something's are to traumatic to remember, i can only really remember things back to when I was 11.When I was 6 years old everything turned around when I had a hemishereectomy (the removal of half the brain). What was supposed to be a 10 day operation turned into a 2 month operation. The first one didnt work. So they had to go back in, then I got sick...really sick. I almost went out the same way I came in. The doctors had to go in a third time but this time they went in blind without grinding the brain because if they did I would have died. I left my brain surgery heathly and half my field of vision gone. Every September I'm reminded where it all began. Every September I'm reminded i came out on top though half of me might be gone, and still sometimes I wish it was all but a dream.
Stay strong brother
That September was years ago, and guess what bro. You're here. That's what matters, not who you were, but who you *are*. Don't be reminded of your hardships, be reminded that you fought like Hell and came out victorious over the pain. Take it for a grain of salt from a random Internet guy, but you're stronger than your pain. Stay blessed, happy early 21st birthday, and keep on fighting. Life is a struggle, but it's worth every second.
Stay strong....
I'm born on 9/9/2004 and my grandmother died on this day on my tenth bithday . Be happy our birthday is coming.!

I lost my Mother Sept of 2007. I play this song with my band in her memory every year.
SOrry for your loss, I hope you get with your band very well... and keep up your band and do make music for people like us... Unfortunately, I don't have a band, but I do play guitar.
:) Stay calm and hppy
Ffuuuuuck that's sad I really hope your life gets better
That's touching. Wish you the best.
I feel you...I just lost my mother a week ago and I've been listening to this song since I was a little kid. Sorry for your loss.
song that gets me crying for no particular reason
Justice Tre
The song is about when his father died on the first of September when he was a child, so he ran home crying and locked himself in his room, and when his mother knocked on the door he simply responded with; "Wake me up when September ends."
One of the most emotional, and beautiful songs from green day.
Electra Slimez MSP you are right
You can remove "from Green day"
Electra Slimez MSP NO
IT ONE OF THE WORST SONGS EVER
+Rey Iglesias
first of all, no.
After losing my daddy to covid last November. This song hits harder for me now ..
im so sorry, i hope you are doing well. please stay strong and remember your father is always with you in your heart. 💕
Im sorry! We lost a dear family friend due to Covid. I understand the pain. I wish you the best and stay strong! May your daddy rest in peace!
im sorry 💗
I'm sorry for you loss, my dad also died because of covid in February and it's so hard even if I know that we weren't in a very close relationship (sorry for my not good enough english)

i wanted to dedicate this to my 7 year old dog. i know a lot of you all would think im crazy for dedicating this to a dog but i just lost him last sunday. for 7 years he was a friend when i didnt have friends at school. but when i did eventually make friends i spent less time with him. but he was always waiting for me by the door when i got home late. ears up, as if listening to hear what i had to say. his mood reflected mine. he felt the same ups and downs that ive had so far in life. but my dog would was full of character. audacious and loyal. two words that would best describe him. and i always play this song right before september ends just because for nostalgic reasons. but this year hit me. so for my dog Butch Jason. you live through me now buddy. i love you
Awwww
Dogs are the best friends if you have no friends in school, I feel you.
Sorry for your loss :(

Good Bye September .. this song is a legend.

Why? what happened on September 30th?
Emily's World Of Shows
Mayhap. I shall look into it. thank you.
what the heck is a 23:55
For me this song is more or less about how much we change as humans the older we get, and how often times we hate what we end up turning into, and aspire to go back to a time when we actually liked who we were.
its been almost 7 years my father passed away.. and his birthday is on september... this song remind me of him .. happy father's day to all the father out there.. 21 june 2020

So sorry for your loss. I lost my dad when I was 12. You never get over it you just learn how to cope.
8 years later and this is still my favorite song.
Exand Stryker internalised feelings which were created by your thougths stucked in your body.How you feel you think and how you think you feel.Still my favorite song when im at the lowest levels of consciousness.
Same
*the real song was created like back then in 1990s, but the lyrics was created 8 years ago*
Actually this song was released in 2004. This video was only made in 2010 so it’s pretty older than that.

I'm sorry for your loss. I also lost my pops sept 7 2015 from colon cancer. This song goes to me as well.
7 Years really did go by so fast.
Today marks the day that I lost my mother.
She was a cancer patient, and she fought like hell and almost won. But all great things come to an end eventually, I guess. It's been a hell of a journey and I'm still struggling to heal, but hey. Cheers to those still hanging on, and cheers to those long gone.
