Summer has come and passed The innocent can never last Wake me up when September ends Like my fathers 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
My sister passed away last fall, unexpectedly, and every single time I went to the grave site, this song would play on our local radio station. I heard it over a month, constantly. First time I've heard it since then. Oh the memories 😢
This song was so cathartic to my husband when his mom died 4 years ago. He would play it over and over. On June 7, 2020, my husband died in a horrible accident. Your version of this song has me in a puddle of tears missing him. I needed this cry Frank, thank you. 🙏💕
They had the blessing to go somewhere where pain does not exist, we are bound to stay here, still learning,still missing, we will have our chance to fly through the universe, but its just not today...
All it's gonna be alright, my english is not good, but, i'm some kind of way, I know what you feel, I lost someone very important to me too, take care, don't desist, and god bless you Miss Maples
This rendition makes me feel like you do when looking back on your childhood again. They were such good days, and they’re here to comfort us in the days that are only sad now. I’m absolutely in love with this rendition. I feel like it’s one of those things you remember as a kid that your dad or grandad would always do. And those are the things you always call back on when things get tough when you want to be reminded of home.
Just clicked on the song on a whim, 15 seconds later me to myself: "Damn, grandpa puts all the other soulful covers of this song to rest." Catchy tune, sweet voice, flashy beats are all okay, unless and until you hear such a cover where emotions are overflowing and integrated into the singer's voice. A great thumbs up 👍❤️
I'm in a period of my life where I have to work really hard and I'm really tired and sad. but trough it all, I listen to your music and every time a tear rolls over my cheeks. thank you for this sir. It really means a lot to me.
When you started singing I just tore up, and I cried through the whole video. Your rendition of this song is beautiful and haunting, and it's helping me deal with my own emotions and memories. Thank you for touching my heart with your music Frank.
My parents got divorced in September 2008, I was crying in my room with this song as background… and this sounds as dramatic as I felt that night rainy night … brought me to tears to remember how the time has passed… and how everything has changed… Didn’t know I need this cover til today! Thank you! You’ve got a new subscriber 🥳👌🏼
Everytime I see my daughter she wants to watch your videos with me, your music transcends generations. She's 5 soon. My parents listen to you too, they are 60 and 63. I'm 30. You are a legend.
Salut, Spectacular interpretation, there is new meaning and elements that were previously hidden from me in there but you drag them to the forefront, with very little kicking and screaming. Lyrically, there is something monstrous defined which insinuates we are out there upon the edge, at the very brink of. Even so, in the numerals I had noted hearing; seven is the true position on the calendar for September, not nine. And then twenty, we fast approach the twentieth anniversary of that craziness that should not have happened in New York, and in September. But.... I think far to much.... perhaps. Your playing and singing were equally wonderful, thank you.... cheers and blessings. Be well, kind troubadour!
This song is now the first of a playlist I use for sleep. Such a peaceful cover, and very melodic! Congratulations Frank! You become a greater musician every day
Returning to listen again, today… Thank you, Pops, for the inexplicable, wonderfully unique and gentle soul that you are, in being deft yet humble in your storytelling art in the song covers and originals you share with the world. It really IS who you are, and why you are so loved. ❤️
This song brings back memories when my stay in the Philippines was about to end in September 2005. I was so sad, and this song kept playing everywhere I went. Great performance, Frank!👏👏👍
Not sure about anyone else, but I often find myself listening as I wake up, eyes closed, and really listening to the lyrics. Gracias, tío (uncle) Frank! 😄😄😄
I just found your channel on my suggested and I am so glad I did. You are so talented and I’ve been going through your videos for the past hour enjoying every single one. Making me quite emotional but in such a good way. Thank you.

![Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends [Official Music Video]](/img/tr.png)
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my fathers 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
Not sure if many folks know this, but this song is about when Billie's father passed away. Hits hard when you listen from that perspective.
Thank you for taking the time to post the lyrics!
Frank - you killed this one & it brings back memories from high school 🥺
Those are the lyrics, lol.
Amen
im gonna need a formal apology for the damage this is doing to my heart
I formally apologise.
@@FrankWatkinson i love you
Cruel too many tears😢
Dont need, dont be. Wonderfull interpretation. @@FrankWatkinson

Once again, you've created a piece that sounds like a band covered your song and got famous for it. Incredible.
LOVE this comment, couldn’t have said it better!! ❤️
This is incredible, but please respect Green Day 😂
@@Ilitan004 I do, but I stand by what I said ✌
Yes! He really does make the songs his own. He stays true to it but he gives the song an entirely different feeling.
This is the best comment ever 😭😭😭🤧❤️❤️
I really hope Billie Joe Armstrong hears this, this was an incredible and moving rendition of a great song, well done sir
send this to him.. he'll be happy
Yh
It's October, he should be awake once again along with the rest of Green Day by now..
A clear sky...
Calm highway...
In your car with your loved ones...
A Frank watkinson song playing in the background...
I hope you get known as a legend cause now you are the underground legend
Thats a nice thought .
Yh

@@pedroroggla8129 So beautifully stated, without religion. 🌹
I’m really sorry for your pain..please find peace and love
I wish you could hear yourself the way the rest of us do. You have such a gift...please don't ever stop sharing your beautiful music!!
So do i , i don't really like my own voice.
@@FrankWatkinson you are amazing just like your voice ❤️
Stop I love old people because they’re so cute and wholesome ❤
*Frank is our Master Chef Musician! He adds his own spice to the tune, and it just comes out so much better!!!*
Your interpretations always emphasise the poignancy of the lyrics. I already loved this great song, it means even more to me now.
I'm a Green Day fan, but I never listened properly to the lyrics of this song - until now. Love the emotion you put in your songs, sir. 👏
The flow of emotions throughout this song was overwhelming. Sir, you're truly an amazing person.
You're too hard on yourself. It's a terrific performance.
Must be my ears then lol.
@@FrankWatkinson HAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one!
bah un imbecil más
@@nicolasmontoya2226 sabes que le ha dicho algo bueno no?
@@nicolasmontoya2226 hermano, terrific en este contexto significa que es excelente!

I love the Doggo just peaceful laying in the background.
I envy that dog. Falling asleep in a very comfy cushion while listening to this very soothing song.
You've created yet another heartfelt cover, sir, Johnny Cash-style. Bravo! Best from Brazil
Beautiful and so emotional, well done as always, Frank.
Morning Frank…..hmmmm, Green Day! One of my fave songs of theirs and this adaptation shows your versatility so it suits you well. Enjoyed it.
Thank you Larry, i honestly thought i messed it up.
green day needs to see this, as it may be the most beautiful cover of this song ive ever seen
Just clicked on the song on a whim,
15 seconds later me to myself: "Damn, grandpa puts all the other soulful covers of this song to rest."
Catchy tune, sweet voice, flashy beats are all okay, unless and until you hear such a cover where emotions are overflowing and integrated into the singer's voice. A great thumbs up 👍❤️
I really hope Billie Joe, Mike, Tre and Jason see this.
I'm in a period of my life where I have to work really hard and I'm really tired and sad. but trough it all, I listen to your music and every time a tear rolls over my cheeks. thank you for this sir. It really means a lot to me.
Wow!! Serious Leonard Cohen vibe on this one, Bravo sir, Bravo!!
When you started singing I just tore up, and I cried through the whole video. Your rendition of this song is beautiful and haunting, and it's helping me deal with my own emotions and memories. Thank you for touching my heart with your music Frank.
It seems like he has lost everyone he loved..We love you Grandpa🖤🖤
Thank you, Frank🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

The one human who disliked this video has no heart. Maybe this is a duplicate comment at this point but it has to be said. Good show sir, well done!
Hoy recordando a mi papá, 7 años de su partida. I miss him so much. 🙏❤
👏👏👏 He strikes again...I said I wasn't going to cry...😢😢😢
This is currently my favourite song
Sir, your voice makes me feel like I'm on the end of a beautiful and full of happiness life. I have nothing to say but Thank You.
Started tearing up before the song even started. It was lovely 🥺
This song is now the first of a playlist I use for sleep. Such a peaceful cover, and very melodic! Congratulations Frank! You become a greater musician every day
I loved this song when I was very young. Very beautiful
Just 1 man and his weapon of mass communication. ❤❤
I lost my grandfather who was very attached a year ago and watching his videos reminds me of him and comforts me in the loss. thank you Frank 🥰
Returning to listen again, today…
Thank you, Pops, for the inexplicable, wonderfully unique and gentle soul that you are, in being deft yet humble in your storytelling art in the song covers and originals you share with the world.
It really IS who you are, and why you are so loved. ❤️
Uncle Frank, I am taking your recordings and keeping your treasures in my playlist for forever. Thank You 🙏
Wonderful!
The absolute sadness in his voice hits me hard
thanks youtube for recommending this beautiful masterpiece
Your voice adds so much meaning to the lyrics
Hello Frank, hello Doggo. Thank you for this soothing song and all the others ✨I with you a wonderful end of the year 🌟
This is perfect, the fact that it’s not like greenday singing, is what makes you original... 🤟🏻❤️

Excellent. Definitely a little bit of later years Johnny Cash in that voice.
That's why I listen to rock music!!!
Keep rock sir!
Greatings from Brazil

It's beautiful. Thanks for sharing Frank.
