Okay, so I have spent a few hours of today just watching videos of all sorts (most of which included live Springsteen footage, circa 1985). After seeing Green Day a couple days ago and getting teary eyed at the show when they played this song at the encore, I thought about the music video- a video I hadn't seen until a year and a half ago when I was interning at MTV News. When we were putting together a couple of segments in honor of the band's release of 21st Century Breakdown, I got to go through a bunch of music videos, and when I popped this one in, I needed to excuse myself and take a minute to cry. I'm not really sure how I had managed to never see the video until then.
I didn't think I could handle watching it again for a long time. I gave it a second shot just now though. And duh, I cried. The song hits close to home, for obvious reasons.
In my case, "Wake Me Up When September Ends" will refer to the dream-like state I will be in for most of the month, living out a fairy tale vacation in France. I wish it would last forever. *sigh*
Not trying to be a downer, just felt like sharing...enjoy?
