Fun fact, this is about a girl Billie Joe Armstrong knew who he liked but who lived in Minnesota while he lived in California. He wrote the song because he wanted to see her, but she was too far away. That girl was Adrienne Nesser, now known as Adrienne Armstrong, Billie Joe’s wife, who he is still married to this day, with two sons.
YEP. He wrote it right after they first met. She had a boyfriend. Planned a whole leg of their tour just so he could have an excuse to see her again. She broke up with the boyfriend, IDK if that's why. But they've been together ever since. Beautiful. I love that this is all early footage during that time. Love it.
I thought he was gay?? For the record, I'm a huge Green Day fan since 1992, he could literally be into banging trash cans or carrots and I wouldn't give a f*** because his music is so tops but I did read an article a few years ago that he was gay and angrily proud about it
Seems like since rev radio era he has, still underplayed I like to see him play more of the uncommon ones Stuart and the Ave Castaway One of my lies Forever now Walking alone 8 th ave serenade Ect ect
David Hudson dude I was born in 2001 November 7 I was secretly listens to rock back then inoived pop but I loved Rick more I never showed this side of me but hey it's not a surprise why I like new agpge rock
I met a girl one year ago today at my job. I liked her instantly. She was charismatic, funny, sweet, and helpful. She doesn’t work with me anymore, but I’ll never forget that first love feeling as a teenager and the “lovesick” feeling that I felt after she left. She goes to school and lives near me, but I feel that she is 2000 light years away.
I sit alone in my bedroom Staring at the walls I've been up all damn night long My pulse is speeding My love is yearning I hold my breath and close my eyes and... Dream about her Cause she's 2000 light years away She holds my malakite so tight so... Never let go Cause she's 2000 light years away Years Away! I sit outside and watch the sunrise Lookout as far as I can I can't see her, but in the distance I hear some laughter, We laugh together I hold my breath and close my eyes and...

THELordOfHorns He meant that there are some parts in the music video that are from other concerts, like the first few seconds when you see some concerts for a split-second and 0:47 in Chicago. The main live parts are from Chicago and from some other concert, by the way.
Paying amazing homage to such a classic with a great video. Thank you for recognising your roots and not forgetting where you came from like so many bands do these days
There are two types of fans Partial fans: who say they are a member but who don’t know much about them And a complete fan; who listens to them all the time, knows a lot about them and is a true fan After 6 years of figuring out which I am. I realized it.... I’m a true fan of Green Day. I was, I am, and always will be #GreenDay4Ever🤘
Green Day is legend Green Day is forever in my heart Green Day is part of my life Green Day is topic of my dreams Green Day is incredible Green Day is awesome Green Day is amazing Green Day made my life Green Day is huge part of my life Green Day made me who I'm Green Day is something I admire Green Day shocks me with It's genious I love Billie Joe I love Trè I love Mike I'll always remember how I felt when I discovered this dope band, when I went to them concert for the first time... Omg I can't describe how I sometimes feel listening to JOS or 21 guns or basically any song And how many people camed my way because we listen to You guys And all I ever want is BJ and rest of Green Day to know it. 💚
Yo this is amazing. I'm glad Green Day recognizes how much we love their pre-dookie work. At The Library, Christie Road, Android, all amazing song along with this song. I'll always love Green Day and support them all the way, even if they might be past their prime
My dad made me a Green Day CD around Halloween a little while ago. I put all of Dookie on it. I would have just bought the album, but I didn't have any money. I just knew that it had 14 songs on it. I saw Burnout and Having a blast, and highlighted them and the following 12 songs on my screen. The only thing is, he didn't own F.O.D. So, I highlighted the first 13 songs on that album and put them on a playlist, as well as this song in lou of F.O.D. My dad also put some of their other songs on the CD. I didn't know I had the CD wrong until I heard the actual album on Spotify. This is one of my faves.
I'm 23 years old , and I've been listening to green day since I was 12 years old, thanks God, cuz when the teenage was coming I was in a deep depression and having the biggest blast ever, if it wasn't for green day probably I wouldn't be here writing this. Thank you Green Day, love you guys forever and ever
GREEN DAY will sing on a new cover album: Motley Crue: Afraid Girls Girls Girls Kickstart My Heart Live Wire Shout at the Devil Wild Side Ozzy Osbourne - "Goodbye to Romance" Ozzy Osbourne - "Crazy Train" Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit Jefferson Airplane Mexico Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction The Box Tops - The Letter CCR - Green River CCR - Proud Mary CCR - Who'll Stop The Rain CCR - Run Through The Jungle CCR - Fortunate Son Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth The Doors - Break On Through (To The Other Side) The Doors - Light My Fire RS - Gimme Shelter Eric Burdon & The Animals - When I Was Young Eric Burdon and The Animals - Sky Pilot Joan Jett - I Hate Myself For Loving You Rick Springfield - Jessie's Girl The Misfits- "Hybrid Moments" The Jam - Going Underground The Jam - When You're Young The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love The Undertones -Teenage Kicks The Skids - Into The Valley The La's - There She Goes The Go-Go's - "Our Lips Are Sealed" Shocking Blue - Venus Shocking Blue - Never Marry a Railroad Man Christie - Yellow River The Cure - Friday I'm In Love Alice Cooper - I'm Eighteen The Who - Baba O'Riley Status Quo - In The Army Now Status Quo - Down Down Status Quo - Caroline The Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along The Watchtower, Purpel Haze hahahahaha
Oh god!!! This takes me back. It really depresses me only because I wish with everything am to be back at that time again. I found myself then. Who I was going to be. The music of that era influenced me a lot, and 25-30 years later, I remain the same as I was then. But I miss being there, everything about it. So when watching this video, my heart swelled,I loved it, but because this was from so long ago, it saddens me at the same time. Very bittersweet. I may yet try to find a way to reverse time. 😉
This song really makes you feel about love. I'm listening to this song in class thinking of my crush sitting next to me. It makes me feel about me and her. I really hold my breath, close my eyes and dream about her. But to me, she is 2000 years away. I dont know what to say. This song really helps me get through my life. I dont know if she feels the same but whatever.

The fact that Green Day could bring this type of emotion and excitement together into one song is why they are the greatest band of all time.
davey yes right? even though this a love song.

Maybe for the 2000s a definite maybe
Not the greatest band of all time. That would probably go to the Beatles. But is one of the greatest bands
@@mikegrasty6225why 2000s? American Idiot cannot carry the ass they put out, 90s for sure.

Staring at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is speeding
My love is yearning
I hold my breath and close my eyes and...
Dream about her
Cause she's 2000 light years away
She holds my malakite so tight so...
Never let go
Cause she's 2000 light years away
Years Away!
I sit outside and watch the sunrise
Lookout as far as I can
I can't see her, but in the distance
I hear some laughter,
We laugh together
I hold my breath and close my eyes and...
Dream about her
Cause she's 2000 light years away
She holds my malakite so tight so...
Never let go
Cause she's 2000 light years away

Paying amazing homage to such a classic with a great video. Thank you for recognising your roots and not forgetting where you came from like so many bands do these days
Holy crap finally my favorite album of all time getting some credit
The impact that this album had my my childhood has no words. Oh the memories!!
This was the first song that got me into Green Day! Long live 1992 when society was decent
Probably haven’t listened to this song in 20 years but I immediately remembered all the lyrics. One of those timeless songs you just don’t forget.
My best friend went to New York in 1994 and brought me back Kerplunk on cassette. Still have it of course.
Met my wife to this song we’ve been married 25 years and 5 kids!!! Thanks Billie
Do you have a kid every 5 years?
Green day is always the best. ❤
@@jayd1687a no over 25 year span 7 to 25
There are two types of fans

this is awesome!
Love you Green Day
Wow. Super. I want video The Grouch and Prosthetic Head
Tom Poul Urbas would love those songs to have videos. Seems like they released this for the new greatest hits album.
Tom Poul Urbas me too
SomeGuyFromBristol well i have a different opinion about that song. Which is some songs are better without video. Really.
And Burnout in my opinion
No one knows would be nice
It was a pleasure growing up with your music 💚

LOL nice reference bro
They did a lot of amazing songs, and this is one of the best. Such a pity that few people know it
Best Green Day song.

Great!
This is their second album and it’s a bop even their first album 39 smooth is a bop. Green day is a bop

Ah yes finally a music video for this masterpiece🤘
You guys kick ass
This is a lyrical masterpiece.
Why can't I stop listening to this song, it's so kick-ass.
We need a remaster of SOSH and Kerplunk, please
Faremo They already did it with Warner
I think they're fine the way they sound
Faremo I've been thinking the same thing
Arno Nym they did with Rev Rad. They released one package with them all on CD, and Cassette, with a boom box. It was badass.
Arno Nym yeah it was like $300 tho. So just a little too expensive for my liking.
Man this is just one of those songs that never get old
Wish I could see them in concert.what a blast it mustve been for those whom saw them live.
2022 GREEN DAY FOR EVER!!!!

Love song
I wish I could have gone to one of their concerts
My favorite song on this album
Those EPIC bass lines
I loved growing up in the 90s all of music was great in every genre boy do I miss it. Also being a skater put the icing on the cake.
They put a VHS filter...Over a vhs recording

Love this song since 1991
originally released on September 1991..
I can strongly relate to this song living far away from someone who is special to me
Green DAy😍
This song really makes you feel about love. I'm listening to this song in class thinking of my crush sitting next to me. It makes me feel about me and her. I really hold my breath, close my eyes and dream about her. But to me, she is 2000 years away. I dont know what to say. This song really helps me get through my life. I dont know if she feels the same but whatever.
Maybe a good song for you would be "At the Library". You should check it out! :D
This is such a beautiful masterpiece.. Omg....
Last time I was the early green day weren't back in the USA
