It's time for Tuney Tuesday number forty-four!!!! :)
Here are the rules:
Tuney Tuesdays is a weekly meme that I do. It's really easy! Just:
- Once a week, on Tuesday, choose a song that you might be really into that particular week.
- Include a video/cover art for that single if there is one (or the button for Tuney Tuesdays that Eileen over at ***Singing and Reading in the Rain*** made.)
- Include the lyrics
- Write what you like about it in a review. Or write a few sentences about how it inspires you. Or how it relates to a book that you've been reading.
- If you don't want to do your own song, you can use the song that I've done for this week.
The song I chose to do this week is Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day. I'm ashamed to say that I actually forgot about this song, until I randomly found it among my thousands of itunes songs about a week or so ago. I absolutely love it, and I thought it would be a fitting choice seeing as this is the last Tuesday in September. Even though I've sang mindlessly to this song many, many times before, this is the first time I've actually taken the time to listen to the lyrics and what the band is saying. This isn't the most feel good song--in fact it's actually kind of sad since it's talking about summer being over and their father passing away (and the painful years going on). Now it makes sense why the song has a sort of depressing yet heartfelt undertone to it while still being a rock song. But I still really love this song (and Green Day!) ... and I hope you guys do too.
Here is the Official Music Video of Wake Me Up When September Ends. This is the first time that I've seen the video, and I love how powerful it is!
Lyrics courtesy of metrolyrics.com:
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Well, that's all for this Tuney Tuesday, folks! Until next time!
