This song is just so relatable to me. As I sit here as a 16 year old about to turn 17, I find this song represents what I’ve been going through all too well. Especially the lyric “you fell in love, but then you just fell apart,” that hit me right in the gut. It may have been a little while ago, but I’m still navigating the fallout of a breakup, and the guilt of the shitty choices I made in it's aftermath. Something about the song just sums up all the emotions of pain, uncertainty and shame that I’ve been facing as of late. While I may be critical of the trilogy, I have to admit it has some pretty kickass songs. And this is one of them. Green Day will forever be my favourite band.
I've been there man, I was the exact same age as you are now. Things will get better, even if it takes a long time. It took awhile for me to get better. My failed relationship taught me some things I needed to know, and showed me things I needed to see. So for me at least, there was a silver lining.
Greenday fan since the 90s and in my forties now. Failed marriage and shitty decisions too. Life only gets better with what you put into it. You have a lifetime to figure things out but the first lesson is be easy on yourself cause no one else will
Buddy i dont know you, but i can say that i wish i told myself these words when i was younger. Just remember dont lose who you are, you still got a lot to discover about yourself, and it does get better. I find that hard to believe myself, but you'll be alright kid.
people will miss the old green day, but if they had stayed that way people would still criticize them for not being versatile. green day is one the most versatile bands there has ever been
I love how this song is structured. It's one of that sounds fun and everything but is really deep and depressing when you really listen to the lyrics. And you're like "wow."
I feel like songs like this with fun and nostalgic-ish (you know what I mean right?) beats to dark lyrics are just as emotional as songs that have a sad beat and dark lyrics.
Yeah.....i'm an Ex/X-Kid. My first Green Day album was actually Kerplunk. Everyone else was moshing to Nirvana and Pearl Jam in 92', but I freaking loved Green Day. Now that I'm old......I still love them and hope to actually take my daughter to one of their concerts.
growing up is painful. x-kid. a kid of generation x. they're still kids right? you wake up late one day and find out that you've already grown up. it's not the 90s anymore. it's not the 80s. your kids are growing up. you're growing old. that's what this songs about. green day doesn't fail to touch my heart with every single one of they're songs. Praise St.Billy!
Hey, little kid did you wake up late one day? You're not so young, but you're still dumb and you're numb to your old glory, but now it's gone. I fell in love, but it didn't catch your fall. Then I crashed, to a wall Then I fell to pieces on the floor. Now you're sick to death. Bombs away! Here goes nothing, the shouting's over. Hey X-Kid, bombs away! Here goes nothing, the shouting's over and out, over and out again. I once was old enough to know better then I was too young to care. but who cares? I probably would but Hollywood is dead and gone You fell in love, but then you just fell apart. Like a kick in the head, you're an X-Kid and you never even got started again. Bombs away! Here goes nothing, the shouting's over. Hey X-Kid, bombs away! Here goes nothing, the shouting's over and out, over and out... And you were searching your soul and you got lost and out of control. You went over the edge of joking, died of a broken heart! Hey, little kid did you wake up late one day? You're not so young, but you're still dumb. You're an X-kid and you never even got started again. Bombs away! Here goes nothing, the shouting's over. Hey X-Kid, bombs away! Here goes nothing, the shouting's over. Hey X-Kid, bombs away! Here goes nothing, the shouting's over. Hey X-Kid, bombs away! Here goes nothing, the shouting's over and out, over and out, over and over and out!
This video makes me all nostalgic... I'm not a part of generation x but I remember the cassettes and VCRs of my childhood. Rewinding those things is something I never thought I'd miss.
i kinda never gave the trilogy a chance and holy shit this sounds like a song that belongs late into Nimrod, that new song they just put out is really them finding themselves again.
This isn't nimrod. Nimrod is very different from most of the other records because it has many different instruments. This only has an electric guitar, acoustic drums and an electric bass
To be honest, I feel what they were going for this trilogy... They had so many songs that were alright and they didn't wanna waste them out, so recorded them and released them to fans.. They didn't really care for hits or etc, if so they would make actually big budget videos for some of the songs.. Like "nuclear family" they are kind of "Yeaa let's put a video there.." . I love Green day, Love this trilogy.. I'm glad they did it like this, now we have 30+ decent songs to listen.. And Not one of them (maybe not "See You Tonight :D) is disgusting.. All of them have some effort put in.. And you'll feel the groove of all, one day..
Reşat Yıldırım i feel the same way but i actually dont dislike a song from the trilogy, people call it filler crap, i dont think that at all. its a blast to go back and listen to them again.
+xkid jimmu I wasn't even a green day fan.. But one day on "deezer", on headlines "Green Day - Revolution Radio- New Album".. I was wondering, so I listened some of the songs, actually liked them and bought the album.. Then when I was done with this addiction after 3 weeks or so, I found out this trilogy, it's been 3 weeks but still not bored of them :D I play electric-guitar, and trying to learn this song now :) (By the way I know "American Idiot" etc , their hit songs before of course :)
When I first listened to this, I wondered why I wanted to cry, but then I looked it up and it was about a friend's suicide, and he'd been a Generation X kid. Even though I'm a Generation Y kid, I can still only imagine what he felt like up to his death.
This song saved my life. I was 14, snuck out of my house in the middle of the night hoping to go get a bottle of Tylenol from the convenience store about a mile from my house, hoping that night would be my last night on earth (reference?). I successfully got the pills and was walking alone (reference 2?) back to my house with my spotify playing on my phone and my headphones in, when this song started playing. I got home and just sat in my floor and cried. I still have that bottle of pills wayyy up high in my closet, my parents still don’t know about that night. I’m still here because of these guys, and they’ll never know.
What I love with this song is that "bombs away" means that later in life there will be a bombshell that will drop telling you it's over. Even though it's a happy tune it always has a brief message to it. Green Day
This song was written in response to the 2009 suicide of a close friend that Armstrong grew up with in Rodeo, CA. However, the song is as much about the entire "Generation X" (those born from roughly 1960-1980) as it is about this one specific tragedy. Billie Joe has repeatedly identified himself as an "Ex-Kid" in recent interviews. The narrator is able to relate to his late friend, in that they were both "Ex/X-kids." But, he was able to push through the struggles that came with growing older, while his friend was not. His friend, unfortunately, found an escape in suicide, thus the line "Here goes nothing, the shouting's over." The narrator sees facets of himself in his late friend. He feels as if, sadly, there wasn't much that could have been done to help his friend, though he wishes someone could have found a way to help him before it was too late. Source: Wikipedia
escuchando a green day desde que tenia 15 años su musica me acompaño cuando vivi mi primer amor mi primera gran aventura de vivir la vida y ahora que soy alguien ya grande disfruto aun mas sus temas porque me recuerdan el pasado y trecuerdan que aun queda buena musica.
this and stay the night are my favorites!:) What I like most about Green Day is that most 40 year olds are either in the pub every night, or just doing a 9 to 5 job, but Green Day are still rocking out like they are 18, age is just a number because they are act, sound and look as good as they were 20 years ago!
Hey, little kid Did you wake up late one day and You're not so young, but you're still dumb And you're numb to your old glory but now it's gone I fell in love, but it didn't catch your fall Then I crashed, into a wall Then I fell to pieces on the floor Now you're sick to death Bombs away, here goes nothing The shouting's over Hey X-Kid, bombs away Here goes nothing The shouting's over and out Over and out again I once was old enough To know better, man I was too young to care Many cares, probably would but Hollywood is dead and gone You fell in love but then you just fell apart Like a kick in the head You're an X-Kid and you never even got started again Bombs away, here goes nothing The shouting's over Hey X-Kid, bombs away Here goes nothing The shouting's over and out Over and out And you were such a young soul And you got lost and out of control You went over the edge of joking And I have a broken heart Hey, little kid Did you wake up late one day and You're not so young, but you're still dumb You're an X-Kid and you never even got started again Bombs away, here goes nothing The shouting's over Hey X-Kid, bombs away Here goes nothing The shouting's over Hey X-Kid, bombs away Here goes nothing The shouting's over Hey X-Kid, bombs away Here goes nothing The shouting's over and out Over and out Over and over and out
This song got me through the toughest time in my life. Back when I went to in person middle school, I could always count on Green Day & Bowling For Soup to provide me a brief escape from the torture my classmates wrought upon me. If not for this band, I might not be here typing this message. Thank you Green Day; For everything.
Yudhistir Ramjatan I personally dislike the repeititve and formulaic song writing. I think that if they took all the good songs from the 3 albums and made 1 album it would have been great, because there are some good songs on these records
These gems only some people born in the last 20 years would find. I'm so lucky to be one of them. Some of the green day songs which arent famous but are worth every second of listening
I Don't know why, but when I'm playing this song, I feels so Nostalgic, I love this song, for me this song is the best from Trilogy Era by Green Day ...
"This song was written for an unnamed pal of the band who committed suicide. Bassist Mike Drint explained to UK newspaper The Sun: "It was a friend of ours who took an early exit. He was a very close friend and he just never grew up. He just lived with his glory days behind him and didn't realize that his glory days were now in front of him. We love him dearly but life happened."" according to songfacts
This song is actually about a kid in Billie's Kid's class who was born with a dick and a vaj, but his *lesbian* parents removed le dick. Kid grew up and turns out he's gender neutral/Trans. Whoopsie. So the kid calls himself by noun-names like Storm or Train.
I want to say a BIG BIG BIG thank y'all for every each song you have ever made because you saved my life so fucking many times when I needed someone to stay alive and YOU ALL WERE THOSE GUYS WHO ALWAYS COULD MADE MY SAKE GOOD BETWEEN EVERY FUCKING ROUGH MINUTES SO GUYS I LOVE YOU ALL AND I CANT BE ENOUGH GRATEFUL FOR YOU ALL BEING ALIVE AND MAKING MUSIC!!! GREEN DAY WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST!!! ❤❤❤❤ Love you all Billie, Mike, Tré, Jason!!! ❤❤❤❤
Green Day Inc gave me a heart before/another video place. This song ... me hugely victimized, lost all family, my heart and soul damaged, I am should be xkid but you would not want. I sing, guitar w you. Thank you, tough road ahead. Your music - I'm not so alone.
@@its830p.m.7 Oh I guess all things considered they are a bit older than I was thinking. I usually think of a lot of their music as later 90s early 2000s, which I usually consider semi-recent but a bit old. 2010s recent. 90s oldish, 70s/80s what I usually listen to and old, 50s/60s full old, and anything before that, super old. All this in Music timescales of coarse.
@@clumbus894 i hear ya. Shut I still think things from the early 2000 wasnt that long ago and damn its almost 2021 thats 21 years ago. We are all getting older
'Searching the soul, outta control, over the edge of funny, death of heart'...this track sings of those past youth and stumbling into the next age...feel you guys! Sooo gets better!!!
I was playing this song on guitar, then I realized why it's so catchy... the 1 5 6 4 chord progression E B C#m A. Damn you Axis of Awesome! Still a great song though because its lyrics and it's one of my favourites from the three albums.
I don't really know any sites, I just took music class all four years of high school. You could start by learning the notes on the staff, major and minor scale structure, then learn how to make triads and their variations. A lot of it, if not all, can be found on wikipedia. A good site that generates chord progressions and gives a preview is: autochords.com
Hey... their new stuff is pretty good. I don't really know why I haven't heard it yet, or even bothered to look it up myself. All of their music is great, but people should really start playing some of the newer songs.
Of course their newer songs don't compare to their classics, but this was one of the songs I enjoyed listening to from the trilogy. My only problem with them releasing three albums was the fact they got released so close to one another, which may have been why they didn't sell that great
If Green Day had taken all the best tracks from Uno, Dos and Tre and made one album containing 12 tracks - they'd have created a masterpiece. Instead they insisted on some kind of gimmick and ended up with 3 mediocre albums. This song is fucking fantastic and will go mostly unheard, unfortunately.
My list (not exactly sure of order tho) Nuclear Family Carpe Diem Missing You Lazy Bones Dirty Rotten Bastards Let Yourself Go Makeout Party Wild One Oh Love 99 Revolutions X-Kid Amy
You call it a "gimmick", but I find it to be a really neat concept that just wasn't properly executed. The idea of three albums telling the story of a wild night out at a party and then the comedown from that night is great imo, with the first album representing the hopes and expectations of what the night will bring, the second being the actual party, and then the third detailing the morning after along with the hangover that accompanies it. I LOVE the concept and it was refreshing to get a more lighthearted affair after the previous two albums, but unfortunately it had quite a few weak spots. If they had more time to properly write it, I think it could've been a great success for them. But as it is, if you take the truly great songs from the three and combine them into one, you've got one hell of an album.
@Todd Tomchek I actually feel like there are more complex guitar part/solos and more difficult vocals in the trilogy. They may be simplistic enough to be green day but still not to simple
Do you know what annoys me about music these days? Every good song needs a music video to be 'successfully'. Taylor Swift's song 'bad blood' came out on her album in October and no one gave a shit about it but then she makes a high budget music video in May, 6 months later, and everybody suddenly gives a shit. It really annoys me because green day and so many other artist would have so many more huge hits but because they don't make a music video they don't...
+Kayla Follett - Monk You're completely wrong. Taylor Swift sells ridiculous amounts of records, regadless of her music videos. Also, the "good songs" are called singles, it's been a concept ever since music became an industry. And since the dawn of music videos, most singles are accompanied by a music video. Just because Green Day skipped the high polished music video schpiel for one record cycle doesn't mean they don't do it either, they very much do. And Green Day is one of the single biggest, most successful rock bands of our time, you sound as if they should be more famous than they already are.
+Kayla Follett - Monk differences between GD and TS that Greens were famous 10 years ago and will be in 10 years. Taylor will loose her popularity in a few years like it happend with most of pop-stars

This song is just so relatable to me. As I sit here as a 16 year old about to turn 17, I find this song represents what I’ve been going through all too well. Especially the lyric “you fell in love, but then you just fell apart,” that hit me right in the gut. It may have been a little while ago, but I’m still navigating the fallout of a breakup, and the guilt of the shitty choices I made in it's aftermath. Something about the song just sums up all the emotions of pain, uncertainty and shame that I’ve been facing as of late. While I may be critical of the trilogy, I have to admit it has some pretty kickass songs. And this is one of them. Green Day will forever be my favourite band.
I've been there man, I was the exact same age as you are now. Things will get better, even if it takes a long time. It took awhile for me to get better. My failed relationship taught me some things I needed to know, and showed me things I needed to see. So for me at least, there was a silver lining.
Greenday fan since the 90s and in my forties now. Failed marriage and shitty decisions too. Life only gets better with what you put into it. You have a lifetime to figure things out but the first lesson is be easy on yourself cause no one else will
I couldnt write it better.
Wish you a happy new year!
Buddy i dont know you, but i can say that i wish i told myself these words when i was younger. Just remember dont lose who you are, you still got a lot to discover about yourself, and it does get better. I find that hard to believe myself, but you'll be alright kid.
The production value of this video is insane
Ikr more than a blockbuster movie
❤️❤️
such a underrated song like many others from uno dos tre
exactly man
agreed
Yea there are actually some pretty good songs in them albums
Z3Rv 99 revolutions is the most underrated. But this is too.
Z3Rv Agree, 99 Revolutions and Oh Love are underrated
people will miss the old green day, but if they had stayed that way people would still criticize them for not being versatile. green day is one the most versatile bands there has ever been
I love this song. It feels like they're telling me "It's okay, kid. Someone cares about you." GREEN DAY FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a cool way to look at it.
Honestly the most underrated song Green Day have ever produced, something about this song just breaks my heart everytime I hear it, I love it!
Every song from 39/Smooth is more underrated in my opinion because well... way less views
I love the texture of his voice. Feel like hugging him whenever I listen to him.
🤘🤘👌
The best Billie Joe tone
I have been listening to Green Day since 14 years ... He has got a heavenly voice... Just love him so much
I love how this song is structured. It's one of that sounds fun and everything but is really deep and depressing when you really listen to the lyrics. And you're like "wow."
That's wut 21st century breakdown is too.
True.
I feel like songs like this with fun and nostalgic-ish (you know what I mean right?) beats to dark lyrics are just as emotional as songs that have a sad beat and dark lyrics.
mm2wood on a Green Day video
I read that thats how people disguise their thoughts of suicide too. Turning it into dark humor, thus the part in the song where they mention jokes
Yeah.....i'm an Ex/X-Kid. My first Green Day album was actually Kerplunk. Everyone else was moshing to Nirvana and Pearl Jam in 92', but I freaking loved Green Day. Now that I'm old......I still love them and hope to actually take my daughter to one of their concerts.
+The Dude I want you as my second father!
just don't piss don't he carpet
+The Dude thatt will be amazing!!!!!!
You're awesome man.
I got my son into Green Day. High five for being an awesome parent!
When you're sad, when you're happy, this is the best song
This is by far my favourite music video from green day A+
Yaboibiggie hahaha
Umm...
@@geenageorge284 r/woosh
This song isn't even that old.. but it always takes me right back to the first time I heard it. I hope it always does
same bro
same buddy
This band is truly incredible. They're really the only band I know of who just keeps getting better and better. Green Day, I salute you
this should have been nominated for Best Video in the MTV EMAs
Yeah I agree it has everything tension, comedy, romance and horror it's just perfect
Don't forget the girls
Calle 50 And the dogs, so cute!
can we get a nobel prize for the cassette player please
LMAO
growing up is painful. x-kid. a kid of generation x. they're still kids right? you wake up late one day and find out that you've already grown up. it's not the 90s anymore. it's not the 80s. your kids are growing up. you're growing old. that's what this songs about. green day doesn't fail to touch my heart with every single one of they're songs. Praise St.Billy!
Cool! I'll just kill my self when I I'm 40 bye!
So it's about growing up?
The songs about a friend of Billie's that committed suicide, so that whole idea fell flat.
oh damn really that sucks man
Everyone from Generation X is around 40 lol
Hands down the best song on the trilogy, and undoubtedly one of the most powerful GD songs. That last chorus *really* hits hard.
underrated as hell..
facts
Hey, little kid
did you wake up late one day?
You're not so young, but you're still dumb
and you're numb to your old glory,
but now it's gone.
I fell in love,
but it didn't catch your fall.
Then I crashed, to a wall
Then I fell to pieces on the floor.
Now you're sick to death.
Bombs away!
Here goes nothing, the shouting's over.
Hey X-Kid, bombs away!
Here goes nothing, the shouting's over and out,
over and out again.
I once was old enough to know better
then I was too young to care.
but who cares?
I probably would but Hollywood is dead and gone
You fell in love,
but then you just fell apart.
Like a kick in the head,
you're an X-Kid and you
never even got started again.
Bombs away!
Here goes nothing, the shouting's over.
Hey X-Kid, bombs away!
Here goes nothing, the shouting's over and out,
over and out...
And you were searching your soul
and you got lost and out of control.
You went over the edge of joking,
died of a broken heart!

One of the best songs off the trilogy, for sure.
this song literally sums up my life about right now. especially "i fell in love bu t it didn't catch your fall"
There is something really satisfying about watching a cassette tape just doing its thing.
This video makes me all nostalgic... I'm not a part of generation x but I remember the cassettes and VCRs of my childhood. Rewinding those things is something I never thought I'd miss.
i kinda never gave the trilogy a chance and holy shit this sounds like a song that belongs late into Nimrod, that new song they just put out is really them finding themselves again.
Oh Love and Stay The Night are good too
no they arent.
Opinions.
Lol yes it is, are you kidding? Revrad is like the bastard child of all of their music. You're not listening good enough.
This isn't nimrod. Nimrod is very different from most of the other records because it has many different instruments. This only has an electric guitar, acoustic drums and an electric bass

5 years later this shit still makes me cry
one of my favourites .. specially when the drums start at 0:32 omg its so awesome

I may sound dumb asking this I know obscure things sometimes but what is a generation x kid I looked it up and couldn't find anything?
Nathan Bowie someone who was born from the early 60s to the early 80s
Mekhi Williams Ahh thank you
I'm a gen x kid and totally relate to this
Life has always been pretty bleak for us. Sad but good tune

Crazy, how long ago was this?
"I fell in love" My favorite part, with Billie's voice is like a natural drug
I like the part when the cassette played
I broke the 69 likes
Me too
That part was short tho
Same
There was a cassette playing?
No one:
No one ever:
Me: *Jamming to X-kid in the middle of the classroom*
noice
this song always manages to put tear in my right eye
Maybe it isn't like good old days, but I still love this song. Uno, Dos and Tré are good albums :) No matter what.
+Lauree Grd They are, they're just different. Which I think is good. It's just not old school Green Day, which rubbed a lot of people, but fuck em.
***** Anyway if you hear State of Shock it sounds like old Green Day *-* So we know they're still the same fucking awesome guys
One of my all time favorites right here
What I love with this song is that "bombs away" means that later in life there will be a bombshell that will drop telling you it's over. Even though it's a happy tune it always has a brief message to it. Green Day
My favorite play along designed to play along with and have fun doing it ...
This is the most interesting and entertaining Green Day video I've ever seen. There's so much stuff to look at!
I can't wait until revolution radio
how did you like it?
trollface6971 it's amazing
Ur brain is ''pop-ish''

The best music video EVER!
this will always be one of Green Day's best songs. 'Here goes nothing, the shouting's over' :(

thank you
Your Welcome
Hey, little kid
Did you wake up late one day and
You're not so young, but you're still dumb
And you're numb to your old glory but now it's gone
I fell in love, but it didn't catch your fall
Then I crashed, into a wall
Then I fell to pieces on the floor
Now you're sick to death
Bombs away, here goes nothing
The shouting's over
Hey X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothing
The shouting's over and out
Over and out again
I once was old enough
To know better, man I was too young to care
Many cares, probably would but
Hollywood is dead and gone
You fell in love but then you just fell apart
Like a kick in the head
You're an X-Kid and you never even got started again
Bombs away, here goes nothing
The shouting's over
Hey X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothing
The shouting's over and out
Over and out
And you were such a young soul
And you got lost and out of control
You went over the edge of joking
And I have a broken heart
Hey, little kid
Did you wake up late one day and
You're not so young, but you're still dumb
You're an X-Kid and you never even got started again
Bombs away, here goes nothing
The shouting's over
Hey X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothing
The shouting's over
Hey X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothing
The shouting's over
Hey X-Kid, bombs away
Here goes nothing
The shouting's over and out
Over and out
Over and over and out
correction: *died of a broken heart
This song got me through the toughest time in my life.
Back when I went to in person middle school, I could always count on Green Day & Bowling For Soup to provide me a brief escape from the torture my classmates wrought upon me.
If not for this band, I might not be here typing this message. Thank you Green Day; For everything.
love green day
this song made me cry the first time i heard it
My favourite on Tre
And I love watching this tape
I frickin love the trilogy!!!!!
I agree. All three albums were amazing. I don't understand why they get so much hate... :(
Yudhistir Ramjatan I personally dislike the repeititve and formulaic song writing. I think that if they took all the good songs from the 3 albums and made 1 album it would have been great, because there are some good songs on these records
OoOoOoOoO G Each to their own I guess.. I felt All the songs were brilliant. Although some did stand out more than others
Love this song so much
These gems only some people born in the last 20 years would find. I'm so lucky to be one of them. Some of the green day songs which arent famous but are worth every second of listening
Darshan Momaya well i was born in 1997 but been fan since 2004
Good for us
I Don't know why, but when I'm playing this song, I feels so Nostalgic, I love this song, for me this song is the best from Trilogy Era by Green Day ...
"This song was written for an unnamed pal of the band who committed suicide. Bassist Mike Drint explained to UK newspaper The Sun: "It was a friend of ours who took an early exit. He was a very close friend and he just never grew up. He just lived with his glory days behind him and didn't realize that his glory days were now in front of him. We love him dearly but life happened."" according to songfacts
this is such a wonderful song
sad how this song talks about one of Billie's friends that commited suicide. thinking about that is so sad that that has happened to other people.
This song is actually about a kid in Billie's Kid's class who was born with a dick and a vaj, but his *lesbian* parents removed le dick. Kid grew up and turns out he's gender neutral/Trans. Whoopsie. So the kid calls himself by noun-names like Storm or Train.
Vegeta5887 not funny
Wait no what the fuck, I commented this on a video about "Little boy named train". My apologies, bro.
www.greendayauthority.com/music/song/354/

nah. I love X-kid. I thought I was commenting on another one, I was on a playlist that day

GREEN DAY WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST!!! ❤❤❤❤ Love you all Billie, Mike, Tré, Jason!!! ❤❤❤❤
much love to you bro
best music video of all time. Love the storyline
This is my favorite Green Day song, Billie wrote it about his friend that committed suicide from a broken heart. Love this song so damn much
X-Kids grow up into X-Men!
That's a brilliant comment. Idk why doesn't it have more likes.
Hahahah nice I love the X-Men
@@parth2302. Not everybody likes Green Day AND X-Men.
XD
I prefer Green Day over X-Men and Blink-182 over Green Day
Already miss old school music and tape
This has got to be my favorite song on the !TRE! album!
Best Green Day video ever.
Green Day Inc gave me a heart before/another video place. This song ... me hugely victimized, lost all family, my heart and soul damaged, I am should be xkid but you would not want. I sing, guitar w you. Thank you, tough road ahead. Your music - I'm not so alone.
to this day underrated
This song reminds me of secondary school and I'm in tears
@Gisele Oh how is it
How’s that
The harmonies in this song!!
I don't like a lot of recent bands but Green Day is one of them I actually don't have a problem with. Good stuff.
Just curious what do you consider recent because they been around since the late 80s. I apologize if i sound ignorant
@@its830p.m.7 Oh I guess all things considered they are a bit older than I was thinking. I usually think of a lot of their music as later 90s early 2000s, which I usually consider semi-recent but a bit old. 2010s recent. 90s oldish, 70s/80s what I usually listen to and old, 50s/60s full old, and anything before that, super old. All this in Music timescales of coarse.
@@clumbus894 i hear ya. Shut I still think things from the early 2000 wasnt that long ago and damn its almost 2021 thats 21 years ago. We are all getting older
@@its830p.m.7 (I'm a teenager and that's the sad thing)
@@clumbus894 tell me about it im 19
And I still listening to my old green day cassette
'Searching the soul, outta control, over the edge of funny, death of heart'...this track sings of those past youth and stumbling into the next age...feel you guys! Sooo gets better!!!
Best song off the Trilogy? Yeah. Best song off the Trilogy.
And Kill the DJ? or Stray Heart?
They're probably the best from UNO and DOS, but from TRE and the trilogy as a whole, X-Kid is my favourite.
For me it's either this or Dirty Rotten Bastards
Rusty james
nightlife is better hehe xd
I was playing this song on guitar, then I realized why it's so catchy... the 1 5 6 4 chord progression E B C#m A. Damn you Axis of Awesome! Still a great song though because its lyrics and it's one of my favourites from the three albums.
I don't really know any sites, I just took music class all four years of high school. You could start by learning the notes on the staff, major and minor scale structure, then learn how to make triads and their variations. A lot of it, if not all, can be found on wikipedia. A good site that generates chord progressions and gives a preview is: autochords.com
***** just buy rocksmith 2014, this song comes with it i think
miscellious RS Yep, it does
***** kagamine powers. and green day
Are those notes in standard tuning?
This and letterbomb are my favorite green day songs ... hell they are just my favorite songs :D
Uploaded on my birthday :)
:)
me too :DD
mine too
wot? His Birthday is on the 9th
Definitely an underrated Green Day song
I've come to love this song so much. Especially after seeing it live. This band will change your life.
Playing this at 1.5 speed really makes it sound cool.
+Max Jackson yeah it really does
+Max Jackson I prefer 1.25 ;-)
+Max Jackson no, this is a little bit sad song. Not punk
0.25 is better
0.5 makes you high as f***
The trending button seems to be buggy. Still, it is relevant and deserves to be trending the Green Day songs! Much love.
one of my favourite songs off tre
This is my favorite music video
Definitely beats Holiday and Jesus of Suburbia
InsanityWhiskers omg yes definitely
ngl i unironically like it more. I don't like the complicated music vids (though I do like bobd)
Some say that that tape is still playing ‘til this day...
this song gave me fuzzy feeling inside. I love it.
Hey... their new stuff is pretty good. I don't really know why I haven't heard it yet, or even bothered to look it up myself. All of their music is great, but people should really start playing some of the newer songs.
That sad moment when you realize this was written about Billy Joe Armstrong's friend who killed himself.
Really
I remember this when I was 14, I'm 23 and its great to hear again. Where does the time go?
When I talk about it
It carries on
Reasons only knew...
Wrong song
But still good
tiagovalen
Not the brightest crayon in the box?
MattPerrette87 Yes,you added the wrong lyrics but that's okay
tiagovalen
You can't put two and two together as to why I wrote Foo Fighter lyrics to this Green Day song?
Of course their newer songs don't compare to their classics, but this was one of the songs I enjoyed listening to from the trilogy. My only problem with them releasing three albums was the fact they got released so close to one another, which may have been why they didn't sell that great
I always wished, that GreenDay would have released an official video for this song. Fantastic song.
If Green Day had taken all the best tracks from Uno, Dos and Tre and made one album containing 12 tracks - they'd have created a masterpiece. Instead they insisted on some kind of gimmick and ended up with 3 mediocre albums. This song is fucking fantastic and will go mostly unheard, unfortunately.
Yupp😢
True.
X-Kid is one of the gems of trilogy.
My list (not exactly sure of order tho)
Nuclear Family
Carpe Diem
Missing You
Lazy Bones
Dirty Rotten Bastards
Let Yourself Go
Makeout Party
Wild One
Oh Love
99 Revolutions
X-Kid
Amy
You call it a "gimmick", but I find it to be a really neat concept that just wasn't properly executed. The idea of three albums telling the story of a wild night out at a party and then the comedown from that night is great imo, with the first album representing the hopes and expectations of what the night will bring, the second being the actual party, and then the third detailing the morning after along with the hangover that accompanies it. I LOVE the concept and it was refreshing to get a more lighthearted affair after the previous two albums, but unfortunately it had quite a few weak spots. If they had more time to properly write it, I think it could've been a great success for them. But as it is, if you take the truly great songs from the three and combine them into one, you've got one hell of an album.
@Todd Tomchek I actually feel like there are more complex guitar part/solos and more difficult vocals in the trilogy. They may be simplistic enough to be green day but still not to simple
My favourite song in Trillogy.. :)
This song is just kind of chill and a feel good tune perfect for just listening to on your radio in your chair
Do you know what annoys me about music these days? Every good song needs a music video to be 'successfully'. Taylor Swift's song 'bad blood' came out on her album in October and no one gave a shit about it but then she makes a high budget music video in May, 6 months later, and everybody suddenly gives a shit. It really annoys me because green day and so many other artist would have so many more huge hits but because they don't make a music video they don't...
because they don't sell "products" like mainstream garbage do. they just leave it as is like a finish project made by yourself from your garage..
+Kayla Follett - Monk they already had the fame, they dont give a shit. green day is legendary status.
+Kayla Follett - Monk You're completely wrong. Taylor Swift sells ridiculous amounts of records, regadless of her music videos. Also, the "good songs" are called singles, it's been a concept ever since music became an industry. And since the dawn of music videos, most singles are accompanied by a music video. Just because Green Day skipped the high polished music video schpiel for one record cycle doesn't mean they don't do it either, they very much do.
And Green Day is one of the single biggest, most successful rock bands of our time, you sound as if they should be more famous than they already are.
+Kayla Follett - Monk differences between GD and TS that Greens were famous 10 years ago and will be in 10 years. Taylor will loose her popularity in a few years like it happend with most of pop-stars
+Tirael92 Spot on bud. Spot on.
In a way, the "video" is a nice shout-out to generation X :)
Amen. (CAN I GET ANOTHER AMEN?!)
Jaq Teaters Amen!
Guilherme Oliveira There's a flag wrapped around a score of men!
HEY! A gag,
Jaq Teaters A plastic bag on a....
I love Green day. They is a gods of Punk.
Rancid?
