Great choice in song too, i really can relate to it, im losing my mom right now slowly as i type this. Really wish i could just move past all of this crap but, oh well ive been through worse

To hear that song sung by a chorus of all different people makes it even more powerful, it really gaves the dimension of the project that should involve everyone...the video is amazing, very sweet and smart!

And another time Wake Me Up When September Ends is the mouthpiece of a great message, those lyrics and melody will never stop touching

American rock band Green Day released ‘Wake Me Up When September Ends’ back in 2005, peaking at number six in the American charts and number eight in the UK. Green Day Authority is co-sponsoring a 20th anniversary for Green Day’s breakthrough album, ‘Kerplunk’ on Friday, January 20th. The sold-out event will provide a variety of entertainment, including live performances and a large video screening of the Wootton Bassett Rocks video. There are also plans to stream the event live through the internet to a much bigger audience.

Co-owner and site manager of the band’s fans’ website www.greendayauthority.com Tony Anastasi said: “When I first saw the video to Wootton Bassett Rocks’ cover of ‘Wake Me Up When September Ends’, it blew me away. It was inspiring to see a community come together like that for such a cause as this. It’s the kind of spirit and involvement that we try to encourage with the Green Day Community. The video itself really reminded me of the ‘American Idiot, The Musical’ version of the song. It’s extremely uplifting for a song with such a sad meaning behind it.

"Green Day Authority is delighted to be working alongside Wootton Bassett Rocks to help them achieve their goal of raising £1 million to go towards military charities for returning soldiers. Green Day fans all around the world can relate to the feelings of loss and despair that result from wars, and we want to help wherever we can to show our support for the people that make it home after putting their lives on the line fighting for their country's freedom."
