Wake me up when September ends

It is the first day of spring and typically, it is pouring down with rain. It is the month where essays have to be written and countless assignments are due and when you realise just how much of a procrastinator you really are when your to do list just gets bigger and bigger and yet you. It is the month where no other song is more perfect than

"Wake me up when September ends".

This is one of my favourite Green Day songs (I have many favourites though), where "here comes the rain again" is literally so true. However, my shallowness at the moment should be abandoned, because this song is actually really meaningful, about the death of Billie Joe Armstrong's (lead singer of Green Day) father, who passed away when he was a child. The song addresses the idea of  the pain of losing the ones you love and how time sometimes is irrelevant in terms of moving on. It speaks of the loss of innocence, implying how it is a fragile state that will inevitably vanish one day.

Okay, this is starting to sound so morbid, especially as I'm in a good mood, so I'm just going to proceed to the song. It is such a beautiful song.
