Whatsername reminds me of an old friend of mine that I completely broke off contact with last summer because she was never really a friend I guess :/ Minority was the first Green Day song I actually related to myself and my situation. I was trying out for the volley ball team which consisted of bitches and orange people. And I totally dropped the whole thing because I didn't "need they're authority" cause for the first time I actually wanted to be the Minority :D hearing that live was probably one of the best moments from the show

Every song of Green Day reminds me something about my life. But in particular:

- Minority reminds me one day, during a big local concert in my city, when some friends of mine played it on the stage and they called me on the stage to sing along with them, 'cause they know how much I love this song, and gradually a lot of people jump on the stage! It was amazing!

- Basket Case reminds me the first time I listened to Green Day. Magic.

- Jesus Of Suburbia is the first song I managed to play on guitar =]

- At the library reminds me a crush I had with a boy, of course he run away with another girl, but I still love this song!

- 2000light years away reminds me Billie Joe of course but in particular his beautiful eyes and the moment he sang it in Milan in november

- Give me novacaine reminds me a bad period of my life, but now that it has passed I listen to this song with a sense of freedom

- Finally Good Riddance is the song of my life. And the most intensive moment of my whole life. When Billie Joe sang it during my first GD live on november the 10th I cried like never before. I was here. They were here. And it's all I've ever wanted.

21CB came out 2 days before my grandfather passed away. :( I'll always remember my first time hearing it as being bittersweet, because while I was so happy to finally have the album I'd been patiently waiting years for - I kept pausing the music every time I heard a car door slam, because I thought it was my mom coming home from the hospital to tell me that my grandfather had died.

I don't think of the album in a sad way at all though, but rather Green Day came back to me at a time that I really, really needed them. :happy: They totally, completely held me together. Obviously even when they were "in hiding", lol, there were times when I was weak and they held me together, but still - having a brand new album, a new tour, and just SEEING them again (TV, interviews, etc) - that really made me happy.

Holiday - Reminds me of band camp; this was the first song I got to play in marching band :cool:

Wake Me Up When September Ends - My dead brother.

Whatsername - Basically just reminds me of any relationship gone wrong or completely lost.

Brainstew - This song always reminds me of church since my youth rock band and I always play it at the end of a service as the old folk are walking out :lol:

Wake Me Up When September Ends... my father died... the death of a bad, turbulent friendship ended in September.

See the Light... my rebirth or transformation... reuniting with family ( on my father's side )for the first time since my father's death.

Minority... Liberating myself from so much bullshit.

So many songs .... but those stick out the most and probably Blood, Sex, and Booze... because of that one night in Alabama :blink:

Good Riddance - That one time when i broke up with that one chick

Wake Me Up When September Ends - The first time I died

Christian's Inferno - That time I went to hell

American Idiot - When I became president and fucked up the state of the nation

Christie Road - High School

Blood, Sex, and Booze - Me currently

The whole American Idiot album reminds me of a time when me and my long-term boyfriend had just broken up. I was single for the first time in ages and was totally self-destructive. I was drinking and partying all the time to escape the pain, I pretty much ruined my relationship with my parents because I was so angry and I totally bombed at school because my mind was totally elsewhere. Sometimes it's hard to listen to AI because of those memories but that record really helped me through that time and was such a great outlet...not sure where I'd be without it.

Every song on 21st Century Breakdown reminds me about something in my life. It is scary.

¿Viva La Gloria? (Little Girl) always reminds me of the day I found out that my parents wanted to get a divorce. They didn't actually tell me first, I just kinda felt it. It was on May 17th, so two days after 21st CB had been released and I just took the car and drove around crying and listening to that one song over and over again, because it was so perfectly fitting.

Everytime Billie sang "Little girl, why are you crying?" I felt like he really talked to me. :blush: Also, I could totally relate to the lines "Run away, from the river to the street...", because that's what I did in a way and "There is no place like home, when you got no place to go", because that's exactly how I felt at that moment.

^Ew, I'm so sorry :(

I think Misery sums up my entire life pretty well :P

The whole American Idiot album reminds me of a few years back because it was what got me through it.

The entire album of American Idiot reminds me of when I met my best friend and my life pretty much instantly changed and it was the best two years of my entire life. Whenever I listen to that album I think back to when I was 14 in 2004, having the time of my life.

Good Riddance reminds me of when I first heard it on the radio as an 8 year old and I thought he was saying "the dime of your life" so I handed my mom a dime. Weird, but that memory sticks with me. :lol:
