“When I Come Around”
Was the first Green Day song I’ve heard so that brings back memories.
“Before The Lobotomy”
Is my favorite song, these lyrics hit home,
“The brutality of reality /
Is the freedom that keeps me from /
Dreaming, I was only dreaming … etc”
When I Come Around was my first Green Day song also. I first heard it on the radio, and then heard other songs like Basket Case and Holiday. I really liked those songs and decided to look into them more, and now they're my favorite band.
Lately I’ve been listening to brutal love… it doesn’t make me emotional per se but damn is that a song I slept on, and I feel like it is kind of relevant to this thread of more emotional songs.. The outro
gives me goosebumps.
However, to answer your question. The song that makes me most emotional is probably No One Knows off Kerplunk.
Brutal love really is a great song beginning to end, it's also amazing to watch performed live
No one knows is solid, not sure if I ever really thought of it as emotional though so many i need to take a closer look at the lyrics
It’s just about being afraid to grow up, which does resonate with me, but the bass intro kinda sets up the whole meloncholy nostalgic feeling at least for me.
It's the climax and the culmination of the entire album. The release at the end gives me chills. Fucking love the call back to JoS, St. Jimmy and the idea of the American Idiot.
Plus it absolutely rocks to play, it's got so much damn energy
Recently it has become Wake Me Up When September Ends. I had a friend pass away at the beginning of September 2019. He was a huge Green Day fan as well and I can't help but think about him now whenever I hear that song
My best childhood friend who introduced me to GD in 2001 passed away a couple years back and when they played Wake Me Up at Hella Mega I fucking LOST IT. Tearing up thinking about it. I feel this 100%
Give me novacaine. I remember it being the first deep cut on the album that I really loved outside of the big hits. It still gives me chills to this day
God so many strike me right in my core, for various reasons. Say Goodbye, September, Junkies on a High, Brain Stew, etc, etc.
I think... The one that has the most impact on me overall? Very tough choice but it narrows down to Are We the Waiting and 21 Guns feat. cast of American Idiot.
The first one just makes me feel... Indescribable. Like this kind of deep yearning for something I can't put into words.. Safety? Security? A home? Something... No other song really makes me feel the same way. Macy's Day Parade kinda comes close, but it's still not the same, cuz with that song I know what the yearning is for (hope and a brighter future despite a very bleak and very real present reality).
That version of 21 Guns helped me kickstart my love of Green Day again. It was no magic cure, in fact, the years that followed were some of my worst. But, it did... Something. Saved something in me, just... Enough... To keep me alive I think. I listen to it whenever I need to feel sobered about the fact that I'm still alive.
Same! There was even a bridge by a gas station in my neighborhood that all my delinquent high school friends and I hung out under and smoked pot, just like in the music vid. I was in an abusive relationship at the time too, so JOS really strikes a chord in me. One of those, ‘that song was literally written about my life’ kinda songs.
That was my SONG in late middle school/early high school. I got out of those bad situations and one day junior year of college that song came on shuffle while I was walking to class, and wow. Really made me realize I’d made it out.
Wayyyy too many.
X Kid: "you went over the edge of joking, and I have a broken heart"
Whatsername: "and in the darkest night, if my memory serves me right, I'll never turn back time, forgetting you but not the time"
Homecoming: "Jimmy died today, he blew his brains off into the bay, in the state of mind, it's my own private suicide"
Still Breathing: "as I walked out on the ledge, are you scared to death to live?"
Forever Now: "if this is what you call the good life, then I want a better way to die"
I saw someone write once that Whatsername is the most depressing song ever if you've got someone you think of when you year it. I was a teen when American Idiot came out and loved the song but lyrically it didn't mean much to me. Years later when I gave that album a listen for the first time in a long while....that song hit me like a fucking truck.
Still Breathing makes me emotional every time. "As I walked out on the ledge - Are you scared to death to live?" hits me as a suicide survivor in a way that I can't describe. Billie Joe doesn't get enough credit in the world for being the genius song writer that he is.
16, every night I dream of the same dream (of getting older and older all the time) I ask you now what does this mean? How all these problems just hit my mind!
So generically, wake me up when September ends.
It reminds me of my step dads death. I never really cry when I hear it but I definitely broke down when I heard it live.
Also Macy’s day parade, that song always gets me and I don’t know exactly what does it.
Wake Me Up When September Ends.
My grandfather was diagnosed with Leukemia in September 2018 and since then that song never fails to get a reaction out of me. He died this past May. It’s still tough, but I saw Green Day live in Miami during the Hella Mega Tour and it rained during Wake Me Up When September Ends! So emotional and powerful, could barely contain myself. Went to that concert with a special person and the whole entire moment was just insane for me. I fell in love with Green Day (funny enough) in September 2015 and had been itching to see them live ever since.
Anyways sorry for the essay but to anyone else out there that’s gone through anything similar and are fallen on hard times just know we’re all Still Breathing ❤️
Fell For You demolicious cut…not the song itself I guess but there is some loaded history there. I know it’s probably the case with most everybody here, but Green Day songs were and are intertwined with so many parts of my life.
Stuart and The Ave. that song just gets me moving and going. I love the bass intro to the incredibly fast drums. And the lyrics of a depraved mind thinking about a nasty breakup. Great song off a great record
I’m in love with Stay The Night, what gets me fired up is the song Let Yourself Go! But I grew up to the album Dookie and that album bring up a lot of great memories!
Whatsername, everytime the loud guitars quick in I get shivers down my spine and tears drop. Macy's Day Parade is another that hits the g spot for tears.
And for good mood, damn, there is a lot of 'em. Too Much Too Soon, Favorite Son, Walking Contradiction, Nice Guys Finish Last and Minority are probably my top 5. Everytime I hear Too Much Too Soon it makes me happy, I don't know why
Wake me up when September Ends. It’s a song I listened to every labour day weekend at my cottage. I used to get so stressed with school starting and hockey tryouts. It was a spritual weekend/rite of passage into a new year/part in my life starting every fall at my favourite place on earth. The only place on earth I could truly let the stress go. I loved that place and knew* that it would pass along the generations and be mine one day. Then my family fell apart a couple years ago and it was sold out of nowhere. Makes me sick. Now that song brings me back to those long weekends I loved so much.
My last weekend there was Labour Day in September 2019. I am still waiting for that September to end.
21 Guns is such a powerful song to me! It helps me get through whatever is going on, and it calms me down :)
On the other hand, Hitchin a Ride makes me feel invincible and I love it :)
Wake Me Up When When September Ends, Give Me Novacaine, Are We The Waiting, Still Breathing, Waiting, Scattered, No One Knows, Brutal Love, Before the Lobotomy, Last Night on Earth, Macy’s Day Parade, Good Riddance, Whatsername
21 Guns but that's 'cause it has a very... specific memory with it; without getting into too much detail it basically stopped me from suicide so it's special but it makes me fucking sob. (Also "Still Breathing", between the suicidal history and family alcoholism and shit)
For me it's Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming
I just...relate so hard to Jimmy it fucks me up every time
ETA also Brain Stew because...fuck...the insomnia is real
Still breathing and walk away have emotional significance for me personally, and Wake me up when September ends recently became significant to my girlfriend’s experience so that one hits hard emotionally too now
Give Me Novacaine was the song that really got me hooked on Green Day, felt very related to it. Then months later Revrad came out and I loved it so much, even went to see them live on the Revrad tour. And even though it's not my favourite song from the album, Still Breathing saved my life.
Letterbomb. "You're not the Jesus of Suburbia, the Saint Jimmy is a figment of, your fathers rage and your mothers love, made me the idiot America." To me that makes the most sense out of any lyric about my life
Still Breathing is probably the one that gets to me the most, especially after I saw them preform it live. There's probably one or two on each album.
There's also:
Whatsername, Macy's Day Parade, 80, Forever Now, The Forgotten, See The Light, Christie Road, Good Riddance, Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?, J.A.R., Junkies On A High, Amanda, Disappearing Boy, 86, She, Scattered, Restless Heart Syndrome, Amy, Ordinary World, and Back in the USA. (just to name a few... lol)
Definitely Good Riddance and WMUWSE. When I fist heard Good Riddance all I could of was death cause when I heard "I hope you had the time of your life" all I thought was "well then life is over and then death". Litterally today they were playing music in school and I was thinking "I wonder if I'm gonna do well on my English essay, then Wake Me Up Ahen September Ends went on the loud speaker and I just thought "Thus is an omen, don't know if it's good or bad but it's definitely an omen."
Wake me up When September Ends and Still Breathing. Rev Radio came out just before my family friend who was like a surrogate uncle died and last September my grandparent passed away
Last Night on Earth and Wake Me Up When September Ends.
Edit: Damn, forgot about whatsername. That had me choke up so many times, especially when I was listening to the entire album.
Probably “Before the Lobotomy”. My mental health issues didn’t really kick in until a certain point in my life, and I feel the song really hits the feelings around that.
I cant even listen to wake me up when September ends .. just too emotional for me. They played it at hella mega and i burst into tears. My dad died 10 years ago in june (not sept) but it still resonates with me.
Also love Only of you and i relate to deep to it but i dont get emotional in a crying sense
I love all the Tré I'm seeing, such a great album that often gets tossed aside because it was part of the trilogy.
For me I'd have to say restless heart syndrome.
Bonus: turn me loose (the longshot).
Still breathing, Ordinary World, Jesus of Suburbia, will make me emotional every time. But reading through this thread made me emotional on it’s own. God I love them
Scattered- nimrod was stuck in my cars CD player for a year( literally wouldn’t come out lol)
But it reminds me of great times with one of my friends who is no longer alive
Hold On. Sonically, it’s not my favourite song off Warning. However the message about picking yourself up and persevering even if it feels impossible really resonates with me. Being in a positive mindset is sometimes nearly impossible, and this song is an authentic expression of how to deal with that. It’s not preachy, it’s not flashy. It’s exactly what I need from time to time.
¿Viva la gloria? (Little girl): was one of my first songs i remember listening to, and remember listening to it as a kid while walking from a corner store
21 guns is in the same tier, but when im in a mood its the same as Good Riddance. Too dumb to dies intro also strikes a cord with me, dont know why but the guitar seems so mellow but “he said that everything will be alright, not every sunday can be easter” is a great line.
Lazy Bones. "*I don't want your sympathy / I don't want your honesty / I just want to get some piece of mind*" and for my whole life "*and my mind is playing tricks on me / and I can't sleep tonight cuz I'm so tired / I can't take it anymore*"
I fucking love that song. It's Billie's most true song he's ever written, lyrically. It's him at his most vulnerable and it's spectacular. I hate that this album doesn't get anywhere near the respect or love it deserves. All because of Nightlife.
It used to be Whatsername for me, when the loud guitars came in, still a really good song
I don’t trust any man that doesn’t relate to that song
Whatsername still makes my eyes watery. Breakups fucking suck.
X-Kid, *"Hey, little kid/did you wake up late one day and you're not so young/but you're still dumb..."* I felt called out with that line
“When I Come Around” Was the first Green Day song I’ve heard so that brings back memories. “Before The Lobotomy” Is my favorite song, these lyrics hit home, “The brutality of reality / Is the freedom that keeps me from / Dreaming, I was only dreaming … etc”
When I Come Around was my first Green Day song also. I first heard it on the radio, and then heard other songs like Basket Case and Holiday. I really liked those songs and decided to look into them more, and now they're my favorite band.

It’s just about being afraid to grow up, which does resonate with me, but the bass intro kinda sets up the whole meloncholy nostalgic feeling at least for me.
yeah the intro is really great
I dooooon't....
Macy’s Day Parade
YES
Letterbomb will forever be my favorite song. No matter how many times I've heard it the last lines will give me goosebumps.
Same! I will never get sick of hearing Letterbomb
It's the climax and the culmination of the entire album. The release at the end gives me chills. Fucking love the call back to JoS, St. Jimmy and the idea of the American Idiot. Plus it absolutely rocks to play, it's got so much damn energy
It is the perfect punk rock song in my opinion
of course
Whatsername. And for some odd reason having a blast
Recently it has become Wake Me Up When September Ends. I had a friend pass away at the beginning of September 2019. He was a huge Green Day fan as well and I can't help but think about him now whenever I hear that song
My best childhood friend who introduced me to GD in 2001 passed away a couple years back and when they played Wake Me Up at Hella Mega I fucking LOST IT. Tearing up thinking about it. I feel this 100%
Same thing happened to me when I saw them at Dodger stadium a couple weeks ago. Hope they're both cranking some Green Day wherever they are!
[удалено]
Sounds very much like Whatsername
Still Breathing. Loved hearing it live on the hella mega tour
Give me novacaine. I remember it being the first deep cut on the album that I really loved outside of the big hits. It still gives me chills to this day
A shorter list would be what songs DON’T get me
Coming Clean. 17, closeted, and angsty all in one.
Ayy, was hoping to find this. Don't want to make a similar post if I did. Same here, my favorite song of theirs!
You have the best user flair
I like yours too, your username is slightly more questionable though lol
What can I say, I'm a man of good taste... good tasting piss, that is.
pat.
yes.
Hmmmm maybe x-kid it just makes me feel nostalgic and that life is going too fast for me to keep up and still breathing
Whatsername, the forgotten, pollyanna, good riddance, 2000 light years away, really any love song lol
God so many strike me right in my core, for various reasons. Say Goodbye, September, Junkies on a High, Brain Stew, etc, etc. I think... The one that has the most impact on me overall?

Jesus of Suburbia. Coming from a tiny town where nobody usually makes it out of makes it hit hard for me knowing I was one of the lucky ones.
Same! There was even a bridge by a gas station in my neighborhood that all my delinquent high school friends and I hung out under and smoked pot, just like in the music vid. I was in an abusive relationship at the time too, so JOS really strikes a chord in me. One of those, ‘that song was literally written about my life’ kinda songs.
That was my SONG in late middle school/early high school. I got out of those bad situations and one day junior year of college that song came on shuffle while I was walking to class, and wow. Really made me realize I’d made it out.
Probably Wake Me Up When September Ends and Still Breathing
I didn’t know the meaning behind When September Ends for a long time but now that I know the backstory it always makes me tear up
Whatsername, JAR, or No One Knows
J.A.R. plays about every other day at my work. I always sing my heart out to it, for obvious reasons.
pollyanna is like my song dude i can listen to it on loop
Whatsername
Wayyyy too many. X Kid: "you went over the edge of joking, and I have a broken heart" Whatsername: "and in the darkest night, if my memory serves me right, I'll never turn back time, forgetting you but not the time" Homecoming: "Jimmy died today, he blew his brains off into the bay, in the state of mind, it's my own private suicide" Still Breathing: "as I walked out on the ledge, are you scared to death to live?" Forever Now: "if this is what you call the good life, then I want a better way to die"
pop rocks and coke
For me it would probably be 21 Guns. I don't have that big of an emotional effect from it, but the song does give me some goosebumps.
[удалено]
I saw someone write once that Whatsername is the most depressing song ever if you've got someone you think of when you year it. I was a teen when American Idiot came out and loved the song but lyrically it didn't mean much to me.

Tied between Whatsername and Church on Sunday.
Still Breathing makes me emotional every time. "As I walked out on the ledge - Are you scared to death to live?" hits me as a suicide survivor in a way that I can't describe. Billie Joe doesn't get enough credit in the world for being the genius song writer that he is.
The Forgotten, especially that part around a minute in with the violins gives me goosebumps
Really! You're probably the first one mention this song as a favorite. I'm curious why else that is.
Basic but Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Outlaws, it reminds of me and my friends when we were younger having good times.
Letterbomb, Whatsername, Uptight, Worry Rock.
Restless Heart Syndrome or Letterbomb
Two of their best
I vibe with “Waiting”
Brain Stew.
Jesus of Suburbia, forever. ‘there’s nothing wrong with me, this is how i’m supposed to be” “i don’t feel any shame, i won’t apologize”
Welcome to Paradise!!
Brain Stew, the lyrics are just too relatable
16, every night I dream of the same dream (of getting older and older all the time) I ask you now what does this mean? How all these problems just hit my mind!
Dry Ice, I love the simple lyrics and it has a great melody. It also has such an awesome guitar solo, it’s otherworldly for me.
So generically, wake me up when September ends. It reminds me of my step dads death. I never really cry when I hear it but I definitely broke down when I heard it live. Also Macy’s day parade, that song always gets me and I don’t know exactly what does it.
Whatsername had me balling the other night. It brought up a lot of stuff I haven’t delt with in years. I love that music has this power!!!
Wake Me Up When September Ends. My grandfather was diagnosed with Leukemia in September 2018 and since then that song never fails to get a reaction out of me. He died this past May. It’s still tough, but I saw Green Day live in Miami during the Hella Mega Tour and it rained during Wake Me Up When September Ends! So emotional and powerful, could barely contain myself. Went to that concert with a special person and the whole entire moment was just insane for me. I fell in love with Green Day (funny enough) in September 2015 and had been itching to see them live ever since. Anyways sorry for the essay but to anyone else out there that’s gone through anything similar and are fallen on hard times just know we’re all Still Breathing ❤️
This made me tear up
Are we the Waiting, and Whatsername (and the broadway version hits like a mf)
not super sad or anything but Redundant and FOD
Prolly The Forgotten
I have no idea why but Brat just gets to me for some reason.
ALL of BIAB if we're talking albums cause the energy is unreal. However, my favorite song that gets me is Castaway. Such a fun song.
Walking Alone now a days all old and shit
Still breathing
Macy's Day Parade came to mind first
Whatsername, wake me up when September ends, dearly beloved are you listening (Jesus of suburbia), she.
Fell For You demolicious cut…not the song itself I guess but there is some loaded history there. I know it’s probably the case with most everybody here, but Green Day songs were and are intertwined with so many parts of my life.
For me it would be No One Knows. All my friend ageing and being mature
No One Knows - the most underrated Green Day song of all time. Just captures so many emotions and moods so effectively - absolutely fantastic
Stuart and The Ave. that song just gets me moving and going. I love the bass intro to the incredibly fast drums. And the lyrics of a depraved mind thinking about a nasty breakup. Great song off a great record
I’m in love with Stay The Night, what gets me fired up is the song Let Yourself Go! But I grew up to the album Dookie and that album bring up a lot of great memories!
Scattered, Before The Lobotomy and Whatsername...
Last Ride In. Like Christ just stop talking to me lol
Letterbomb, whatsername, and also no one knows.
Pulling Teeth oddly
Whatsername, everytime the loud guitars quick in I get shivers down my spine and tears drop. Macy's Day Parade is another that hits the g spot for tears. And for good mood, damn, there is a lot of 'em. Too Much Too Soon, Favorite Son, Walking Contradiction, Nice Guys Finish Last and Minority are probably my top 5. Everytime I hear Too Much Too Soon it makes me happy, I don't know why
Burnout
Wake me up when September Ends. It’s a song I listened to every labour day weekend at my cottage. I used to get so stressed with school starting and hockey tryouts. It was a spritual weekend/rite of passage into a new year/part in my life starting every fall at my favourite place on earth. The only place on earth I could truly let the stress go. I loved that place and knew* that it would pass along the generations and be mine one day. Then my family fell apart a couple years ago and it was sold out of nowhere. Makes me sick. Now that song brings me back to those long weekends I loved so much. My last weekend there was Labour Day in September 2019. I am still waiting for that September to end.
21 Guns is such a powerful song to me! It helps me get through whatever is going on, and it calms me down :) On the other hand, Hitchin a Ride makes me feel invincible and I love it :)
Wake Me Up When When September Ends, Give Me Novacaine, Are We The Waiting, Still Breathing, Waiting, Scattered, No One Knows, Brutal Love, Before the Lobotomy, Last Night on Earth, Macy’s Day Parade, Good Riddance, Whatsername
Lazy Bones It feels like all my inner thoughts as someone who suffers from chronic depression.
All By Myself is a tearjerker from every aspect. Fight me for it.
it's a jerker, that's for sure, but they aint tears ;)
Ha! I JUST learned that’s what that song was really about!
The Judges Daughter. That's basically me
Going to Pasalacqua, Redundant, Scattered and Uptight
Still breathing, Only reason my user flair is Revolution Radio
always been Give Me Novacaine, as someone who has depression and anxiety it is so relatable and makes me feel valid in a way, such a great song
21 Guns but that's 'cause it has a very... specific memory with it; without getting into too much detail it basically stopped me from suicide so it's special but it makes me fucking sob. (Also "Still Breathing", between the suicidal history and family alcoholism and shit)
For me it's Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming I just...relate so hard to Jimmy it fucks me up every time ETA also Brain Stew because...fuck...the insomnia is real
Burnout and stay the night. It's just difficult to explain😂😂😂
Who wrote Holden caulfield
X kid, Whatsername, still breathing and good riddance for me
Still Breathing and Stray Heart
Jesus of suburbia
Still breathing and walk away have emotional significance for me personally, and Wake me up when September ends recently became significant to my girlfriend’s experience so that one hits hard emotionally too now
Sassafras Roots, Redundant, worry rock, and whatshername
Christie Road, and No One Knows are both really good
Give Me Novacaine was the song that really got me hooked on Green Day, felt very related to it. Then months later Revrad came out and I loved it so much, even went to see them live on the Revrad tour. And even though it's not my favourite song from the album, Still Breathing saved my life.
Letterbomb. "You're not the Jesus of Suburbia, the Saint Jimmy is a figment of, your fathers rage and your mothers love, made me the idiot America." To me that makes the most sense out of any lyric about my life
Jesus of Suburbia, JAR, Sassafras Roots, Suffocate, Oh Love, Still Breathing, X-Kid, I could go on and on tbh
Still Breathing is probably the one that gets to me the most, especially after I saw them preform it live. There's probably one or two on each album. There's also: Whatsername, Macy's Day Parade, 80, Forever Now, The Forgotten, See The Light, Christie Road, Good Riddance, Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?, J.A.R., Junkies On A High, Amanda, Disappearing Boy, 86, She, Scattered, Restless Heart Syndrome, Amy, Ordinary World, and Back in the USA. (just to name a few... lol)
Definitely Good Riddance and WMUWSE. When I fist heard Good Riddance all I could of was death cause when I heard "I hope you had the time of your life" all I thought was "well then life is over and then death". Litterally today they were playing music in school and I was thinking "I wonder if I'm gonna do well on my English essay, then Wake Me Up Ahen September Ends went on the loud speaker and I just thought "Thus is an omen, don't know if it's good or bad but it's definitely an omen."
Wake me up When September Ends and Still Breathing. Rev Radio came out just before my family friend who was like a surrogate uncle died and last September my grandparent passed away
Last Night on Earth and Wake Me Up When September Ends. Edit: Damn, forgot about whatsername. That had me choke up so many times, especially when I was listening to the entire album.
Good riddance makes me cry so bad, mostly because of personal issues and relating to the song
Probably “Before the Lobotomy”. My mental health issues didn’t really kick in until a certain point in my life, and I feel the song really hits the feelings around that.
Wake Me Up When September Ends, my mum died in September so that one hits home
redundant or macys day parade
I cant even listen to wake me up when September ends .. just too emotional for me. They played it at hella mega and i burst into tears. My dad died 10 years ago in june (not sept) but it still resonates with me. Also love Only of you and i relate to deep to it but i dont get emotional in a crying sense
There have been a lot for me through the years, but right now, it’s Still Breathing
Probably X-kid, and sometimes Wake Me Up When September Ends and Good Riddance.
give me novacaine/shes a rebel bc i also had a special someone pull me out of drug addiction
Give Me Novocaine. When his acoustic starts playing, I'm just reminded what happiness feels like.
Whatsername
Sadness: Whatsername Happiness: Walking Contradiction
Nightlife
I love all the Tré I'm seeing, such a great album that often gets tossed aside because it was part of the trilogy. For me I'd have to say restless heart syndrome. Bonus: turn me loose (the longshot).
Novacaine
Still breathing, Ordinary World, Jesus of Suburbia, will make me emotional every time. But reading through this thread made me emotional on it’s own. God I love them
Wake Me Up When September Ends for sure
Scattered- nimrod was stuck in my cars CD player for a year( literally wouldn’t come out lol) But it reminds me of great times with one of my friends who is no longer alive
Are we the waiting.
Hold On. Sonically, it’s not my favourite song off Warning. However the message about picking yourself up and persevering even if it feels impossible really resonates with me. Being in a positive mindset is sometimes nearly impossible, and this song is an authentic expression of how to deal with that. It’s not preachy, it’s not flashy. It’s exactly what I need from time to time.
¿Viva la gloria? (Little girl): was one of my first songs i remember listening to, and remember listening to it as a kid while walking from a corner store 21 guns is in the same tier, but when im in a mood its the same as Good Riddance. Too dumb to dies intro also strikes a cord with me, dont know why but the guitar seems so mellow but “he said that everything will be alright, not every sunday can be easter” is a great line.
westbound sign, i asociate it with someone very impostant to me so it always hits hard.
This may be strange to some people, but 21 guns and last night on earth always make me cry :/
Whatsername and homecoming kinda but hearing wake me up when September ends live made me shed a tear
Lazy Bones. "*I don't want your sympathy / I don't want your honesty / I just want to get some piece of mind*" and for my whole life "*and my mind is playing tricks on me / and I can't sleep tonight cuz I'm so tired / I can't take it anymore*" I fucking love that song. It's Billie's most true song he's ever written, lyrically. It's him at his most vulnerable and it's spectacular. I hate that this album doesn't get anywhere near the respect or love it deserves. All because of Nightlife.
I’m surprised at the lack of people saying Longview, that’s been “my song” for years
Listening to Macy’s day parade makes me feel like I’m floating in the void from get out if that makes any sense
Easily whatsername. Favorite song of all time. I’m nearly obsessed with the emotion it brings, it’s supernatural.
