Lirik Lagu Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
Dirilis pada 16 tahun yang lalu, salah satu lagu populer Green Day, Wake Me Up When September Ends, kembali menjadi sorotan publik di awal bulan September 2020 ini.
Lagu yang ada di album American Idiot ini pun bahkan menjadi trending di Google Indonesia. Wake Me Up When September Ends tercipta lewat pengalaman pahit sang vokalis, Billie Joe Amstrong.
Sang ayah meninggal dunia karena kanker pada 1 September 1982 silam. Pemakaman ayahnya pun amat menyakitkan untuknya hingga membuat Billie mengurung diri di kamar.
Saat sang ibu mengetuk pintu, Billie Joe langsung berteriak 'Wake me up when September ends'. Kata-kata itu pun terngiang di benaknya hingga ia dewasa dan tercipta lah lagu yang hingga kini masih diingat oleh penikmat musik.
Lalu seperti apa lirik Wake Me Up When September Ends dari Green Days?
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
