GREENDAY - "Wake Me Up When September Ends"

"Wake Me Up When September Ends" is the fourth single from Green Day's seventh studio album, American Idiot. Released on 13 June 2005, the single peaked at number six in the United States, becoming Green Day's second Top 10 single. It also peaked at number eight in Canada and the UK, while making number thirteen in Australia.
The song is well known for its music video, which paints a drawn out intimate portrait of a wartime situation. It strays from the original meaning of the song and instead focuses on the teenage couple as the boyfriend promises never to leave his girlfriend, but he joins the Marines in the end. The video adds to the American Idiot anti-war sentiment of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq.
