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
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

I do not know that many American song, but "Wake Me Up When September Ends" is one of my favorite song. It is a song by American rock band Green Day released as the fourth single from their seventh album, American Idiot.

At first, I was thinking the meaning of song is about September 11 attacks because setting of the the song is in September, and the song is also used to commemorate losing love ones. Another coincidence, according to WiKipedia, "In the liner notes, the song is dated September 10, and it is track 11 on the album."

However, the songwriter, Billie Joe Armstrong has clarified that the song is a memorial song to his father who was a jazz musician. The father died in September 10, 1982 when Armstrong was only ten years old. Armstrong mentions that the song was also dedicated to the guitarist, Johnny Ramone because Ramones has a great influential power to Green Day.
