Great song I've listened to all my life. Now I'm 25 and I finally know what it's like to walk down the boulevard of broken dreams. Only nightmares and regret for the rest of my life.
@@I_am_Junebugyou have not learned much in those years then. many people have nothing to look forward to but pain, suffering and death. we dont need blind optimism. the truth is the world is cruel and indifferent. lets call a spade a spade
I loved Green Day as a kid and I still do, but it's only when you get only you realise just how relatable Green Day's songs are. I'll always love Green Day until I die.
I remember the first time i saw them live... This was an encore song. The energy of the crowd, the sweat bring flung around, the singing along. It was so fucking powerful. I love this band and will til I die.
I’m a man and i prefer to be alone. All of my friends are dead. I’ve never had a serious relationship with a woman. I spend most of my time at my house here in the middle of the woods in Pennsylvania. My closest neighbor is a mile from me. I’ve been angry all my life. That anger prevents me from ever having a meaningful relationship. I’m more afraid of myself than anything else out here. I mean think about it. An unstable angry person in a relationship with someone. What if i got angry at them and lost control. I’ve found solitude and meditation and quiet to be the best cure. I’ve found peace here. I do still have wifi and i work from home on my computer. So im not completely cut off. Technology keeps me in contact with the rest of the world. The sad truth is that someone like me will probably never be with anyone. A hard truth to face in your twenties.
man we all loners in big mad world. most of relationship is fake. woman never be replace music in you headphones and sound of engine in you car. you not angry at all. you just normal man in gay world of commercial. i dream live in woods but live in center of megapolis and its suck. you lucky in some way.
Johnny Moore there’s a purpose for the pain man i promise i was in the same place as you don’t give up and you will be rewarded yo no cap y’all are ganna be ok life is ganna be hard but life is also ganna be beautiful
Honestly I haven’t found peace the only thing I found was anger PTSD and depression because I wish I was the old me but it won’t be the same when I walk down the road I go on
I was 6 years old when American Idiot came out. My dad (rest his soul) used to be the drummer in cover bands and those bands would play this song. He introduced me to Green Day with this song. Though I’ve listened to Green Day’s entire music catalog (which all of it is great), this song is, has and always will be my favorite Green Day song of all time. If it wasn’t for both this masterpiece and my dad, I don’t think I would’ve ever gotten into the beautiful band that is, Green Day. I still miss you dad.
I used to listen to this song while I was receiving physical therapy in the hospital as a result of a tear in my right shoulder, and while looking down from the 8th floor, people constantly running around and sunny days made me feel good. I offer Love to everyone who reads this comment.
Very nice... ❤❤ thanks, same to you! I know how that hurts. I had 2 rotator cuff tears, both shoulders. I didn't go to hospital, just physical therapy!
I used to hear this song all the time as a kid when I'd wake up in the morning. My alarm clock was set to play the radio, and this song would almost always be playing. Good song to wake up to!
I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But it's home to me, and I walk alone I walk this empty street On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one, and I walk alone I walk alone, I walk alone I walk alone, I walk a- My shadow's the only one that walks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me 'Til then, I walk alone Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah I'm walking down the line That divides me somewhere in my mind On the borderline Of the edge, and where I walk alone Read between the lines What's fucked up, and everything's alright Check my vital signs To know I'm still alive, and I walk alone I walk alone, I walk alone I walk alone, I walk a- My shadow's the only one that walks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me 'Til then, I walk alone Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah Ah-ah, ah-ah, I walk alone, I walk a- I walk this empty street On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one, and I walk a- My shadow's the only one that walks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me 'Til then, I walk alone
I reckon that there's a time in all of our lives when we can all relate to this. The song came out in my final year at university, and at the time I thought it was cool but didn't massively relate. Fast forward a couple of years and a few curve balls I didn't expect in life, and for a long time I was listening to it non-stop!
i have a sister she is 21 and she went through a hipster faze when she was 11-16 and i was always used to lisen to her music with her this album was my childhood
Me and my sister are both 21 turn 21 in August31 and she will in December 30 but we both love rock and metal from the 80s but she likes ariana grande as well and I just love 80s Rock and metal music like gnr motley crue Cinderella band kiss and def leppard and acdc
"She went through a hipster faze when she was 11-16" She's 26 this year... Am I that old? Is 90s/00s punk considered 'hipster' now? Oh no, my back hurts and my joints are crinkly.
This was the first song I heard from Green Day in 2012 when I was only 5. I remember always looking forward hearing this in the car radio. I’ve known the band since then but never listened to it more for some dumb reason. In around 2018 or 2019 my siblings started playing this to me again and I remember falling in love with it again. Only last year I started listening to them more. At first I stuck with listening to Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Kill The Dj and Hitchin’ a Ride. Later on I listened to the whole AI album, then Nimrod, Uno Dos Tre trilogy, Warning, Foamf, Dookie and 21st century breakdown. Still have a lot to go but I’ve loved the entire GD discography so far. Holiday and Boulevard of Broken Dreams are still my favs. ❤️
I’m 21, I’ve just discovered this song while I was deep diving songs on RU-vid due to being depressed from my job, my own home, having to be responsible for my pup… I just wish I could forget it all and leave.
Welcome to adulthood. It's a real pain in the ass sometimes, but I've got great news: there's a metric ass-ton of music at your fingertips! Find anything and everything that strikes a chord with you (no pun intended) and listen to all of it repeatedly as a type of antidepressant, so to speak. There's a genre, band, and/or song for every occasion. Back when I got up at 4:30 a.m. for work I would pump Frank Turner's "Brave Face" while I showered. In fact, I highly recommend Frank's oeuvre of genre-spanning folk-punk. "Four Simple Words" is another ripper for early mornings. Anyhow . . . You got this.
So one day me and my friends when we walked to and from school and realized that our elementary school, middle school and our highschool is on one road so now we call the road the boulevard of broken dreams and I listen to this whenever I walk home alone
I dont really ever listen to this, or American Idiot. I've always heard, and known the words to them. But when I was starting out, I thought they were legendary songs and had them on loop as I did EVERYTHING. I've only listened to the entire album (Including American Idiot & Boulevard of Broken Dreams) once. Today I saw a comment on Homecoming that made me have a completely different view on the album! It was explaining each song, for example, JOS, Jesus of Suburbia is Jimmy's hometown and about how he left it. Holiday would be him running around, doing whatever. But on St. Jimmy, Jimmy becomes a new person. St. Jimmy is who he is now. She's a Rebel is basically St. Jimmy meeting Whatsername. If we skip Extraordinary Girl, we get Letterbomb. A letter Whatsername sent to Jimmy, telling him he was never the JOS or St. Jimmy. Wake Me Up When September Ends is about St. Jimmy changing back to his old self, and Billie Joe's father that died of cancer in September. Homecoming is too important to leave out, so Homecoming. This song has five parts, so they're like chapters: Jesus of Suburbia has nothing left to do. He's been on the streets. He stands alone again. So where else to go? Home. Part 1, the Death of St. Jimmy. He's leaving the streets, he's going back, he's leaving Jimmy behind. He realizes that turning away wasn't the answer, and he's gained nothing from it except knowledge that life is no better in a different atmosphere. He hoped for too much, and got nothing in return. St. Jimmy kills himself, in a sense, in Jesus of Suburbia's mind, he's gone. Still, there's no one who cares, and nobody cares. Jimmy still is here, but he is back to being himself. Part 2, East 12th St. It tells us that Jesus of Suburbia got a job, and is just in his own world as people move around him. He'd rather be out and around with 'the underbelly', his friends. He feels trapped. Alone, and again, must get away. "This lifelike dream ain't for me" Part 3, Nobody Likes You. He's still depressed about losing Whatsername, as he waits for her to return, but no luck. All of his dreams at this point are shot down as her voice still pounds in his head "NOBODY LIKES YOU, EVERYONE LEFT YOU..." Part 4, Rock 'N Roll Girlfriend. In the inlay, is shown as a postcard from "Tunny," who seems to be a person Jesus of Suburbia met while on the streets. Tunny explains that he's living it up where he is, and the rebel life he leads, while Jesus Of Suburbia is rotting with his dead end job, in his dead end life. Part 5, We're Coming Home Again. It is Jesus of Suburbia accepting things. He's coming to the realization of everything and everyone, and is just accepting it. He comes home. It's left on a confusing note. He's not sure if he's happy or sad, he's just home, living, and he just... is. Thanks for reading my long comment.. back to listening to the complete album.
Well yeah. It is a concept album. The whole point is that it tells a cohesive story. You wouldn't know this if you only listened to the hits or didn't pay attention to the lyrics. It is in the same type of album as The Wall, Tommy, Operation Mindcrime, and Hadestown.
I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But it's only me, and I walk alone I walk this empty street On the boulevard of broken dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one, and I walk alone I walk alone, I walk alone I walk alone and I walk a My shadow's the only one that walks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me Till then I walk alone Ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah I'm walking down the line That divides me somewhere in my mind On the border line of the edge And where I walk alone Read between the lines What's fucked up and every thing's all right Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive And I walk alone I walk alone, I walk alone I walk alone and I walk a My shadow's the only one that walks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me Till then I walk alone Ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah I walk alone, I walk a I walk this empty street On the boulevard of broken dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one, and I walk alone My shadow's the only one that walks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me Till then I walk alone
I started getting hooked on green day living in southeast Alabama in 2004. Every Wednesday I watched Laguna Beach and after every episode I heard a green day song from American idiot album. These songs sounded so awesome I couldn't get it out of head and grew up a country music fan. 2004 was such a great year in pop culture. I listened to Green Bay for 4 yrs and stopped for 16 years but then I heard of savior tour on morning mash up. I started going through a rigorous diet listening to green day on my bike. I went back to 2004 green day. I love listening to them especially this album. Best decision I made this year.
Not a lonely one, just seems lonely sometimes. Then u realize all those ppl in your life. Different paths, roads, space flights lol but all to the same place. Some pols paths just are meant to cross others to help them fix there car. Or to fix it to find out they can, will and believe in themselves. Gives me butterfly's chasing bunny's while painting a Duchess all while Listening to elvis. Who's the king now hound dog?? 22 Thnx God for my road. Learn how to lay road base next time lol jk u kept it dirt. Perfect.
