The saddest part of life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory

my question is how do people sit down one day and write a fucking masterpiece without even knowing its going to be.

"For what it's worth..it was worth all the while". Sums up the life journey in just 10 words.

I was 16 years old when I first heard this song. I'm 30 now and I'm still listening. reminds me of the old days

the song for every single graduation

If this isn't playing at my funeral I'm not going.

My aunt passed away this morning, needed to hear this 😢 I truly hope she did have the time of her life.

I’m no longer close with my childhood friends. We’ve all gone our separate ways. But wherever they are, I wish them nothing but the best and I’m grateful for the fun times we had. 1991-1996 are years that I’ll cherish forever.

I’m 68, heard this song today and honestly, it brought a few tears to my eyes thinking about my youth and the fun I had. I’m still a kid at heart and always will be. Don’t take your youth for granted, it goes quickly..

Im now at age 22, no job, no confidence, anxiety always attacks me, also having an existential crisis. I hope i will have the best time of my life in the future.

I hope you had the time of your life son. Where ever you are, congrats to all the graduates 2024 ❤

This was played at my friend's daughters funeral. So young ..just 16. Always in our Hearts Lindsey❤

I am Uber driver in bali, i got a lot of tip from my customer when i play this song... i am happy 😄😄

Saddest part of this song is knowing he plays this at the end of every concert. You cry while smiling the whole time. Best show I've ever been to in my life. Nothing compares.

My cousin was trying to learn this on guitar before he passed away, god bless his soul.

June 2024 anybody?

I want this played at my graduation, wedding, and funeral.

RIP my cat who passed away last week no matter how lame this sounds. Little Man was great company.

Makes you realise how precious life is embrace every day 👍🏻

I picked this for my best mates funeral song we carried him in with this playing, his mrs asked for my input and this was the first song that came to mind . He was always singing and i heard him belt this out a few times and i knew he was happy .. im sorry your life was cut short my friend , and i miss you. 😔

My son used to jam this song on his guitar in his room when he was 15, he's still playing it at 36.

My son loved Green Day.. he was 8 or 9 when Dookie came out.. he should be 31 this year but he will always be 26.. This song is beautiful and sad for me.. I love it 💚

Reminds me of a summer day in the 90’s, moving into our new house, taking boxes and other stuff out of the car, feels like only yesterday. Life goes fast….. 😊

I can remember this playing at my high-school graduation, I was on top of the world and ready to take it by storm. Here I am now 30 and life has broken me, Embrace being happy and in the moment because it will be the good old days before you know it.

A song for teenagers when they realize they are not going to be a teenager anymore, and for adults who remember those times fondly and realize they won't come back again.

this was my dad’s favourite song he always listened to it and was played at his funeral. he took his life 18/2/2020. i was only 12 miss you everyday dad you will never be forgotten 🥺

drenched in nostalgia, absolute timeless classic.

My grandma is on hospice and this song is getting me thru it right now

This song is twenty years old now. 1997 may seem like a long time ago, but it was just yesterday to me. Bitter sweet life :)

This is really a great song and I am past 60. I love the meaning of the lyrics. When one gets my age you begin to wonder if you have had the time of your life.

This song is as good today as it was the day it was released. A true classic.

If anybody's reading this, I hope you had a good time in your life. ❤

To all you kids out there listening to this … I was about 20 when it was released , great times , never imagined for a minute that one day I’d be in my 40’s Don’t get me wrong I have an amazing life , married to a beautiful redhead , fabulous kids , all the trimmings , my point is , your youth is over in a blink … grab it while you can , you’re old for a damn sight longer than you’re young , thats what this song says to me , and it’ll be played at my funeral , at 44 I’ve already had the time of my life with a lot more to come . Love from Liverpool

Personal Story Time: I was 17 when I was introduced to Green Day by my girlfriend at the time who was obsessed with them. So, to impress her before we started dating, I binge listened to all their music and slowly but surely I realized why she was so crazy about this band. I could relate to her on a whole new level because I eventually just loved all their songs and we would cruise throughout the late nights just listening to Green Day in my car. "When It's Time" was our song by them. I was definitely head over heels for this girl and when I went to the military, she waited for me. It all sounds like a movie now that I look back on it. Another song that always stood out to me was " Good Riddance". It wasn't necessarily a happy song when I read the lyrics so I couldn't really associate happy feelings with it. Anyways, fast forward, we both start our freshman year of college together. Life's good... until life and school start to get in between us and we were no longer those young kids that fell in love in high school... We slowly became different people. As months go on, we argued more and more and I came to the realization that maybe, it's better if we went our separate ways. I ended it but I knew it was for the best. My heart was broken because as much as I wanted "us" to work, it didn't. I loved that green eyed red haired girl. Fast forward a week later, I find out she rebounded and let me tell you, even though we weren't together, I suffered knowing something so precious to me was easily snatched up by a guy she barely knew. I don't think I've ever cried so hard ever in my life because folks, a broken heart tears you apart from the inside out. So, after months of trying to recover, I revisited Green Day again because I really loved their music, but I associated their music with her. One song stood out more than the others... " Good Riddance".. because each single lyric has meaning behind it for me. It will forever be associated with her now because it matches so much what we went through for 2 years. " It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right, I hope you had the time of your life" As she was the best thing for me in the beginning, she ended up being the worst for me in the end, but I loved every second with her. Update: I didn't realize this comment would blow up the way it did! Really I was just in my feelings one night and wrote about this personal story to get it out of my system 😅 I didn't realize how many people actually cared to read it and I'm grateful for that. Anyways, if you're wondering what happened after this story took place, life went on as usual. Everything healed with time really. It's never the end of the world when break-ups occur even though it may seem like it at the time. These types of things are just little bumps In the road of life that may slow you down, but ultimately it's your choice to pick up the pace once again, even if it is just baby steps. It's still progression! P.s. life's too short to be worrying about one person you've been with for however long. Especially if you're a Marine and a sophomore in college 😅 Much love! 07/25/2021: I saw Green Day for the first time last night for their Hella Mega tour with Weezer and Fallout boy in Dallas ♥️ at the end of their set, they played this song in the most tranquil, peaceful way possible!! 😭😭 It was so beautiful and It felt like everything in the past has led to this moment, as weird as that sounds. I just feel at peace ATM ♥️ Much love guys!!

I’m 27 but this song makes me reminisce the good times, my childhood and school days .. good times I’ll never get back or forget. Makes me miss my family and friends that passed away .

2024 anyone?🙋🙋🙋

I'm a teacher, and I'd like to dedicate this song to the class of 2020, who won't be able to walk across the stage in May. We're at a unique juncture in history, and we're all trying to keep our heads above water. The next generation is yours to lead.......learn from some of the mistakes of our current leadership, and instead, use what's brought you this far: awareness, preparation, team work, and proficiency. Be safe, and a thousand congratulations to you all. Live well.

They should do this exact same video, finding everyone that was part of it, but 25 years latter.

One of the best songs ever written.

I graduated today. They played this song. 😢

If this song doesn't play at my funeral I'm not going

Enjoy school while it lasts, even though it seems rough, some of the best memories come from it

I was 27 when this song came out. Was newly married with a baby. My carefree days ended, not in a bad way but different. Enjoy your youth it ends faster then you think. I’m 54 now and we are empty nesters. I miss those days.

So, I'm a 16 yo italian girl. Since I'm 10 I've always wanted to learn how to play the guitar, but my parents didn't let me.(but i learned piano) This year was one of the worst in my life(I'm not joking) and Green Day (and also music in general) helped me a lot. Finally three weeks ago I started my guitar lessons and yesterday my guitar teacher said "now I wanna teach you this very beautiful song" and he started playing"Good riddance". Now i learned it (only the chords ofc) and I don't know how to describe how I feel...finally I'm happy, not bc of the fact that I kinda learned this song, but bc I reflected a lot these months and I stopped hating on myself. So thank you guys, thank you so so much. Also I was supposed to see Green Day this june in Milan, but next year will be great! Stay safe. Edit: thank you for the likes, wasn't expecting this many! Also I finally bought an electric guitar a month ago!

If Green Day ever breaks up, this has to be their last song played at their last concert. I hope that day never comes though.

I’m 51 years old! Best song ever still

So few songs 💯capture the age of an era. For those who weren't there, This was how the 90s felt As soon as this song was released, we all knew that was forever to be a moment, frozen and sealed like a time capsule Whatever you may be going through, listen to this and raise a glass to those no longer with us You'll always be together in memories🔥

Brought my guitar and sang this to my Grandpa in hospice two days before he passed in the ICU. He reached for my hand after playing, squeezed it for a moment before falling to sleep again. Was a song played in his memorial. Won't ever forget this song; it brings me back to him when I hear it. Thanks.

I'm now 28, still listening to green day, still depressed with social anxiety, without friends. still crying over this song

The best song that Green Day has ever performed. This has been heard during my high school graduation, all thanks to a music teacher who loves Green Day. 😀🎵🎧

8.1k people didn't have the time of their lives Edit: RU-vid removed the dislike counter so I can no longer update this comment :( Was fun while it lasted ❤ F to pay respects lads

This song has really taken a lot of different meanings to me as years go by, it was a graduation song, a break up song, a memorial song for a lost friend, a song reminiscing about the past, an anti-depressant when Im having a rough day, and I guess it will continue evolving as time goes by and I enjoy the good times, while learning and growing from the bad ones. All those memories makes up who I am, and for what it's worth it has been worth all the while. This song ages like wine.

This was my cousin Crystyn's favorite song. She died from a head on car crash in 2001. My school teacher's son dated her, and bless her heart, she played this for at my high school graduation. Your band has been a miracle to our family! It makes me cry whenever I hear this song, but in a good/bad way. You guys kick @ss! ✌

Anytime I hear this song it brings me to tears! My eldest son died in a tragic kayaking accident and this song reminds me to cherish all of the core memories I had with him!

He’s got such a nostalgic singing voice. Edit: Thank you for all the likes.

Green day best band ever

I’m in my 40s and loved them since 94. My boys 19 and 22 along with my 21yr old nephew will be seeing them August 28 in Atlanta to celebrate my younger son,s birthday. These boys got great taste in music 😊. Can’t wait! Green Day all Day

i found this song after my dad pass away a month ago.. i love the part he said "i hope you have the time of your life" its so meaningful. As if the nature know the best way to speak about my heart.

I can't believe he was only 18 when he wrote this song!!

The violins always get me. They’re Placed so perfectly in the song. Even when I was little, I always thought this is a subtle masterpiece this song.

my dad and mum had this played at their wedding as their song it makes me smile so much they both chose it between them when they were going through green days' songs. thank you mum and dad for introducing me to an amazing song

I use this song to go to sleep, it’s so soft and calming and it’s a very historical piece of music. It makes you realize how lucky you are to be healthy and safe.

Always a great reminder....you only get one life, make the most of it...make every day worth living.

The fact that this comment section is still active after 10 years is lit

there’s nothing you can do except cry. they’re never coming back. all that’s left is the memories. good luck

This song hits me harder now more than ever especially cause I’m on my last year of being a teen (19) and I have listened to this song a million times in my life but now it’s really starting to hit me hard. When I was younger I used to sing this song without a worry at all but now I sing it with emotion and really take in the lyrics cause I can relate to it. You start to realise how fast your childhood goes by. My life is now flashing before my eyes. It makes me thing of all the time that has passed by and all the good old days making memories with friends and family and how everyone is growing old and moving on with their life. All I can say is, enjoy your youth while it lasts cause life really does pass you by! :( rock on green day 🤘

I remember singing this for our elementary school graduation and I cried when I found this. Elementary school days were the good days...

One guitar Two voices No studio effects One of the most beautiful songs ever made

This one of my brothers favorite songs before he passed away. This song makes you want to look back and remember all the accomplishments you have had during your life and hope there is still more positive ones to come.

I always keep on playing this song with my guitar when I am on a turning point. It's beyond everything. Beyond time and love. Eternal. And makes me float when I am lost. Musically the violins make the energetic groove and pump up the spirit of this song. Thank you Green Day for shaping up these key life-meaning words in such a breathtaking taking song.

This song is so good but too short

this song always makes me cry, someone who was like my father died last year in November. I was closest to him do I took it the hardest. This was his favourite song, he always played it and sang along to it with me. it was played at his funeral, when taking the coffin out, and that was when I cried most. I love you, rest in peace x

This is one of those songs that I wish I could go back and hear again for the first time. The emotions I feel every time I hear this song are intense and deep. I surely can't be the only one who still cries to this song every time they listen to it. As someone who suffers with derealization and anxiety pretty much everyday it can be hard not to enjoy life because of how numb this world makes me feel. However, whenever I hear this song it reminds me that we only get one life and to enjoy it while we can because we're never promised tomorrow. I'm going to watch Green Day live next year in Manchester and I can already say I'll be singing this song with every breathe I have, whilst bawling my eyes out at the same time. Please do not EVER let this iconic song die out!

Music acts like a magic key, to which the most tightly closed heart opens.💕

This song can mean A LOT of different things, the thing I think it means is that it for someone you've lost who has died, but it can be a girlfriend who broke up with you, your mom who is dating again, really anything you can put your mind into, its such a deep song and I'm scared that I'm gonna cry while i perform this for my entire school, but if I do, I don't care, because I'm a human being, and emotion is a part of being a human, so I would be proud for crying and remember the ones I love :)

Another turning point A fork stuck in the road Time grabs you by the wrist Directs you where to go So make the best of this test And don't ask why It's not a question But a lesson learned in time It's something unpredictable But in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life So take the photographs And still frames in your mind Hang it on a shelf In good health and good time Tattoos of memories And dead skin on trial For what it's worth It was worth all the while It's something unpredictable But in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life It's something unpredictable But in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life It's something unpredictable But in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life

Just graduated 8th grade been at my school for 10 years this song has been played every year for the eighth grade and this song has been with me for so long listnining to it today while I graduate has been so surreal thank you Green Day you’ve made my day!❤❤❤

One of the BEST songs by Green Day in my opinion. Thank you for making most of my childhood memories.

My mom likes mellow folk music My dad likes hard rock/metal This is their agreement

This song should be called "Good Riddance (We Play This Song At Every Fucking Graduation) "

It is indeed remarkable that through so many generations, the vast majority of our popular music comes not from accomplished and wise minds, but from those of adolescents and young adults.

Still love this song and video about how life is full of twists and turns and memories and people of all ages reflecting on that

Few points about this song 1.Song for every single graduation. 2.This song is all about breakup. 3.Good music never fades away.

I’m 40 now and have loved greenday since I was 16. This song also has a soft spot in my heart because of seinfeld❤️ My husband and I also played it at our wedding last song...I have tickets to see greenday if corona ever passes. Sad songs make me feel better. Here’s to everyone listening during corona...if we don’t make it out on the other side...hope you had the time of your life🤘

Again remembering one of these old gems. Forever evergreen song to me.

No denying this one of THOSE songs..absolutely incredible

I just graduated yesterday. Listened to this song on the way home with a beautiful sunset and my windows rolled down. Pretty surreal

It was a risk for Green Day to make this guitar driven ballad-type song because of their hardcore rock fans but I'm glad they did. This song makes me think of my memories.

Nobody should ever question Billy Joe's songwriting abilities- raucous or mellow, he's great.

If your reading this have a great day!

To those who manage to read this comment... I hope you have the time of your life.

Rip June , may your spirit and soul soar forever , you were amazing, I miss you as does your family and friends

When i was in high school, this song played at our graduation (2000). At the time i was EXCITED to leave. Now I cry for those years.

This is my mom's and my song. She died in 2004. Hope you had the time of your life.

I just love the way Billie Joe can scream his lungs out on drugs and all those things Green Day songs usually include and then write a beautiful acoustic peace like this one Love Billie Joe Love Green Day

I used to listen to this song in my 20's and loved it. Now I am married and have kids and just passing by to heard this now again, still give me the chills.

This song was dedicated to a fellow student of mine who tragically lost his life during the summer holidays of 2001 whilst we were awaiting our GCSE grades. Never ever forgotten Billy ❤️❤️❤️😔

This song applies to all of us! Shit happens, move on and have the time of your life! Age, or curcumstances are irrelevant! Enjoy Life

I just fell into another green day hole. I'm obsessed.
