-Green Day- Wake Me Up When September Ends [Lyric Video] 

"Wake Me Up When September Ends" is a song by the American punk rock band ‪@GreenDay‬ . it was released as the fourth single from their seventh studio album, *American Idiot*, on June 13, 2005. The song, written by lead vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong, is an emotional reflection on the death of his father, who passed away from esophageal cancer when Armstrong was ten years old. This personal loss is poignantly captured in the lyrics, which convey themes of grief, loss, and the passage of time.
Musically, "Wake Me Up When September Ends" diverges from Green Day's typical punk rock sound, featuring a softer, more melodic arrangement that includes acoustic guitar and orchestral strings. The song's heartfelt tone and relatable subject matter resonated with a wide audience, making it one of the band's most successful singles. It peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and received significant airplay on both rock and pop radio stations.
The music video, directed by Samuel Bayer, adds another layer of interpretation, shifting the focus to a young couple torn apart by the impact of war, specifically the Iraq War, which was a significant issue at the time of the song's release. This narrative choice highlights the broader themes of separation and longing, further amplifying the song's emotional depth.
"Wake Me Up When September Ends" remains a staple in Green Day's discography, celebrated for its raw vulnerability and the band's ability to capture profound personal and universal emotions.
