I love the fact that he wrote this for Adrienne after he met her in a basement gig haha. Billie planned a whole concert in Minnesota just to go see her again. Now they're happily married. Billie is a god damn idol.
Frig Im old. 22 when I heard this song in 93. Over 20 yrs later I remember skating, snowboarding, girls and partying. Kids get out to as many live shows as possible. Go see bands at bars, clubs where ever. I almost missed on concert. I had to work the night before. Went out boozing and woke up hung. Feeling like dog$#!@ my friend convinced me to go. Im glad he did. That show was Warped Tour 95. And it was the last time I would see Sublime live. So kids get to see what ever music you can. Cause you never know where these bands will be in 10 or 20 yrs. I saw bands like nofx, green day, pennywise in bars. Able to say Great Show and shake their hands after. And when I show my kids photos of Dad partying it up SoCal punk style. Their eyes light up. And I become the coolest Dad ever.
jay kay hah I'm 32. first heard them in 94. bought a boom box and dookie cassette. if it wasn't for them I would have never listened to nofx, sex pistols, the Ramones, operation ivy. finally saw green day live for my first time in 2015. also saw pennywise, the descendants, bad religion, and a ton more!
ki in I honestly agree with you, even though I'm only 13. like, the people my age are tone deaf and don't know what good music is. I actually discovered green day when I was three lol
I sit alone in my bedroom Staring at the walls I've been up all damn night long My pulse is speeding My love is yearning I hold my breath and close my eyes and Dream about her 'Cause she's 2000 light years away She holds my malachite so tight so Never let go 'Cause she's 2000 light years away Years away! I sit outside and watch the sunrise Lookout as far as I can I can't see her, but in the distance I hear some laughter We laugh together I hold my breath and close my eyes and Dream about her 'Cause she's 2000 light years away She holds my malachite so tight so Never let go 'Cause she's 2000 light years away Years away! I sit alone in my bedroom Staring at the walls I've been up all damn night long My pulse is speeding My love is yearning I hold my breath and close my eyes and Dream about her 'Cause she's 2000 light years away She holds my malachite so tight so Never let go 'Cause she's 2000 light years away Years away!
I sit alone in my bedroom Staring at the walls I've been up all damn night long My pulse is speeding My love is yearning I hold my breath And close my eyes and dream about her Cause she's 2,000 light years away She holds my malakite so tight so... Never let go Cause she's 2,000 light years away Years away... I sit outside and watch the sunrise Look out as far as i can I cant see her, but in the distance I hear some laughter We laugh together I hold my breath And close my eyes and dream about her Cause she's 2,000 light years away She holds my malakite so tight so... Never let go Cause she's 2,000 light years away Years away... I sit alone in my bedroom Staring at the walls I've been up all damn night long My pulse is speeding My love is yearning I hold my breath And close my eyes and dream about her Cause she's 2,000 light years away She holds my malakite so tight, oh... Never let go Cause she's 2,000 light years away Years away...
Nah. It's about Adrienne when she lived in Minnesota while Billie lived in California. They ended up kissing during a gig in Minnesota then Billie went home and wrote this song. It's actually pretty sweet.
+Oliver Fields Yes, I own International Superhits, and the album it is great for having Good Riddance on it. 2,000 Light Years Away should have been on it, so you're right about that.
He wrote it for Adrienne and then in 1994, they got married (just 2 and half months after I was born). Fast forward to now, they're still happily married! Considering Billie was said he had the worst love life.... You go!
This song makes me think of this girl I had a serious crush on. I couldn't talk to her because I was shy (and out of her league). We were in the same homeroom, the same year. All I ever did was think about her. Still am, twenty five years later. dammit!
I bought this on cassette tape at a Kmart. I had enough money for either a Grateful Dead tape or this tape called Green Day I'd never heard of before. I gave it a chance and it got me into totally different music.
Haha! Just split up with somebody? Hell, if my imaginary space traveling girlfriend was cheating on me, that's on her. I can't help it if some people are incapable of thinking of somebody else other than themselves when base emotions and instincts come to the fore, or those other type of people who got cheated on once, so do it to others. Well done for missing the point there! They so stupid. Honestly, they don't get what a relationship is, but the irony is that they want one. They hope it'll fill that void that's missing inside them, but they never quite manage it. These people, they're self-destructive, and they don't like it. For example, I was seeing a girl going back six years, and I soon became aware that she was a bit of a slut which I confronted her over, as she used to wake up in the night, crying her fucking eyes out, saying things like 'why do I do what I do?' 'I hate myself' yada yada yada...It was all kinds of fucked-up. Her conscience would come back to haunt her, turns out you can't escape your thoughts in the dead of night. It wasn't pretty, but I learned a lot from it, and then got the hell out. They can't, and won't feel anything beyond base emotions, and it is truly their loss. Can they change? I hope so, but change begins with wanting to change, in the mean time, I shall not be hanging around to find out, as I wanted to be a badass boyfriend as opposed to some kind of on-call psychologist or counselor. Self-preservation above all other things, people. I'm cynical about a lot of things, but romance? I have no need to be, mainly as I'm not batshit fucking mental. Well not when it comes to that...Peaceout.
Nah, I've met other inter-dimensional space travelers and they all say the same thing. Never trust the women. They're all cheaters. Earth women on the other hand, well, we have some good ones.
Very special song to me, my relationship started by giving her lots of music suggestions, and she eventually listened to the two first green day albums, now two months later we're together and this is one of "our songs" and I always hear this when I can't see her
Amazing bublegum punk song. Had a couple meanings over the years but my wife holds the key to this. Good for any younger people still listening to this.
Funny how I listened to this album all the time back in the day & haven’t heard all these songs in a while & I can still sing right along every word, but can’t remember what I did yesterday!🤷♀️
Cara sei que faz tempo essa postagem..mas o rock em especial o punk nunca morrem..cara green day acompanho desde "dookie" da minha época tenho esse álbum em CD até hoje tenho 47 anos..essa música era quando o green day ainda tinha prazer em tocar
Pre-Pop GreenDay ~ Thats what we all want! This was my FIRST CD in the early 90s I ever bought, before that I was buying cassette tapes! Greenday could lay it down, then they got so popular the music started suffering... Same thing happend to NO DOUBT... Before all the fame, they could both LAY IT DOWN!!!
This rad, awesome girl and I just shared our first kiss(es) at a show last night. ^-^ haha first thing I had to do when I got home was to blast this CD! This song now holds alittle more meaning in my heart with her. 19 years, and I feel that as though I really met "the girl".
i just saw this song live 2 days ago and nova rock and i've never been happier, it was the best show i saw in my life, they played for 3 hours straight and hearing them play songs from their first album just completed me
I saw them live two months ago and even though they had all these new songs and fan favorites from American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, they still played this
I saw them a week ago, unbelievable, and then they randomly played this song......ugghhhhhhhh, this was was the song that cemented my billie joe crush. they were as beautiful and amazing as when I saw them 22 years ago
For some reason this song has me thinking about an old Therapist of mine who now lives about 1200 miles away from me. Despite the fact that 1. She moved about 5 years ago and 2. I stopped seeing her about 5 years before that, I am really feeling distanced from her right now.
andrew howard no its not i said they MET on tour and then he went back home and couldn't see her because they MET on tour and didn't live in the same area she said that they wrote it because she couldn't go on tour with them
I miss the days at the Gilman talking to Tre after loading his drum kit into his pick up truck, and Blatz throwing mashed potatoes and watermelon at the crowd!! Punk rock Woodstock, my hippie friends were at Santana and the dead and I was at the real deal!!!
The beginning instrumental part sounds a lot like Chump. I like old and new Green Day. Also, I know a lot of prudes who hate Green Day because they swear. They should F.O.D.!
i cant see her, but in the distance, i hear some laughter ,we laugh together..this verse makes me feel so lonely :( but overall one of my fav. greenday songs
