Marian McWilsonATTENTION! YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!!! Will someone please wake up Green Day! I repeat! Will someone please wake up Green Day! September has ended! Thank you.
LeonianUniverse@pianomarian Sad song and exactly what I was thinking.
@LeonianUniverse Yeah. I play it every year at this benefit I've done for the last like nine years. The tune is the event's theme song.
@pianomarian I see, for the longest time I did not know the song was referencing very personal death.
@LeonianUniverse Yeah possibly his dad's. I know the event coordinator uses the bridge ("Here comes the rain again, falling from the stars. | Drenched in my pain again, becoming who we are.") to to, I dunno, kinda identify with or explain and align with the struggles associated with her charity's chosen mission field, so to speak, and she even has this Bible verse out of James that she associates with the bridge. She believes that the struggle talked about in the bridge is something we all have to go through in one way, to one degree, or another. ... It is a very deep and powerful song.
