  • This song goes over amy whinehouse

  • sounds like Walking Alone

  • @conawillvlog DAMN I was coming here to say that XD Good catch! I'm very excited it sounds like their old stuff :)

  • @CoreyMan55 Agreed man, love their old stuff

  • Guise stop comparing this song to other songs it's crappy quality so it probably doesn't sound exactly the way it's supposed to..I'm a HUGE green day fan but I think im getting upset by these new songs it doesn't sound like "Green Day" just my opinion though it might change once they are recorded though

  • Thumbs up if Green Day's recent news about their album brought you here. =D

  • Omfj I'm near tears. I can't wait I'm gonna explodeeee.

  • It's to bad this has only got 86000 views. If this became a single on the next album, the music video would get some million views and everyone will be like; "I know this song!" It's an really good song, but i hope it won't be a single.

  • This is so sweet. Can't wait for the new Green Day album #2012

  • Billie new Amy

  • This is the sweetest song I have ever heard. Billie didn't even know Amy Winehouse and he was just impacted and wrote a song about it. It's beautiful and heartbreaking. All he wanted was to know her a little better.

  • the chorus sounds a little like "all i've got to do" from the beatles, which makes me very happy as being an enormous Beatles and Green Day Fan.

  • Kinda sounds like 'Too Much Too Soon'

  • Amy Winehouses death makes me cry. I barely knew anything about her.

  • Comment removed

  • call me crazy here, but this vaguely reminds me of "Do You Want to Know A Secret".. George Harrison/The Beatles.. no? idk... haha

  • when i grow up im gonna write a book called '500 reasons why greenday suck' the book will have 500 empty pages.

  • best green day song since time of your life. who's with me?:)

  • @vincentvetra its a great song but defintely not their best, same with time of your life- defintely not their best it's just probably their most widely heard song

  • LMAO SOOOOOREEEE

  • if you listen to "shoplifter" from the green day collection on itunes, the chorus from both songs are veeeerrrrryyyyy similar. suspiciously similar. But don't worry. shoplifter is by green day, i think, but i never got popular. so now i think he used parts of it to make this song.

  • sounds so much like walking alone, from the warning album !

  • it made me cry :( i just so love amy <3

  • The final part of the track laments Amy’s premature death at the age of 27, as well as the drug and alcohol addictions which had plagued the star throughout since 2006. It says: “You’re too young for the golden age ‘Cause the record bin’s been replaced/ 27 gone without a trace/ And you walked away from your drink.”

  • According to lyrics posted on the band’s official website, the opening lines are: “Amy, is your heart singing out of tune. Are your eyes just singing the blues/ Dirty records from another time/ Some blood stains on your shoes.”

  • you guys arent reall greenday fans if your downloading this and not buying the cd hahahahahahah im gald she dead anyway

  • @sandman481000 LOL idiot, there *is* no CD...yet. And even when the new album does come out, there's no guarantee this will be on it.

  • Love this song.

  • Does this remind anyone else of Walking Alone?

  • is there any better ver ?

  • @PAPerTURKeY I'm afraid I wouldn't buy your "punk rock dictionary" as all that shit uve said doesn't add up, this song is about Amy whinehouse as she sings the blues, there were pictures of blood stains on her shoes in the paper and she had a lucky charm tattooed on her foot. And saying Billie Joe wouldn't waste his time writing about her is abit disrespectful and I think you don't know billie at all to be fair...

  • Anyone else reminded of walking alone?

  • rip off of "all i've got to do" by the beatles. still a good song though

  • @PAPerTURKeY Actually it is about Amy Winehouse... not Billie's wife. His wife's name isn't even Amy so that doesn't make any sense.

  • @dizzyisme This song is about amy winehouse .. by the way Billie Joe´s wife name is Adrienne

  • @dizzyisme im just saying its maybe notabout amy winehouse it might be someone billie joe like growing up. but we will see who its about when their new album comes out. :D

  • @PAPerTURKeY On the official Green Day website it blatantly says that the song is indeed about Amy Winehouse. There's a news post on August 15th thats titled "Green Day debuts Amy Winehouse tribute" so the mystery is solved! lol the song is without a doubt about Amy Winehouse.

  • @dizzyisme thanks man

  • @PAPerTURKeY if you payed attention to website postings and twitter they talk about a song dedicated to Amy.. plus this was played 2 weeks after she passed. aswell and information through the lyrics all lead to amy's life.

  • @PAPerTURKeY

    Billie Joes wife is called Adrienne ...

  • @Feerik68 i know but the song is FOR someone billie joe must of liked i know its not for amy winehouse though. we will know the truth when the alblum comes out

  • @PAPerTURKeY this is about amy winehouse. Two man concidences in the song. sings the blues. blood stains on your shoes (famous pics in paper). died at 27. she had given up the booze. she has a lucky charm tattoo on her foot

  • @Mystergeneral nothis song was for his wife adrienne i am oonly 13 but i am like a punk rock DICTIONARY i know that amy winehouse is like one of the last people billie joe would write a song about btw GREEN DAY FOREVER!!

  • @PAPerTURKeY Lulz. Just...lulz.

  • @PAPerTURKeY why verdammt noch mal

  • @PAPerTURKeY his wifes called adrienne or somthing like that and i think the 27 reference kinda gives it away

  • @liamobrien06 i know sorry but lets see what billie joe says about this awesome fucking song! y'know. it might be about someone he liked as a kid. plus if its about amy winehouse then Green Day knew she would die because this might be a song from the ciggirettes and valentines album or a new song whatever....y'know.

  • @PAPerTURKeY are you trolling or are you just that big of a dumbass? there are so many detailed lyrics in this song that gives it away that this is DEFINITELY about Amy Winehouse. stupid little kid. do you even know who she is? you must not, otherwise you would know its about her. so, if you don't know your facts, shut it.

  • @PAPerTURKeY Dude. Look at the date on the video. This song was debuted live at the Tiki Bar. He says just before it starts that he had just written the song a week ago (meaning a week before the show), which was right around the time Amy died. It's not from Cigarettes and Valentines.

  • @PAPerTURKeY her name is adrienne stupid

  • @PAPerTURKeY His wife is called Adrienne...it's been pointed out on several occasions that it's about Amy Winehouse.

    Epic Life Fail

  • @TheCakeIsALie1992 1. fuck you 2.it might be about someone bill joe liked growing up 3. GREEN DAY fans don't fight against each other they fight together btw we will see what billie joe says about the song k :D

  • @PAPerTURKeY well seen as we're numbering points, 1. you wish. 2. it's about someone dying from alcohol abuse at 27 called Amy...hmm...OMFG I'm stumped!. 3. Green Day fans can fight each other when they claim to know what they're talking about when they haven't got a fucking clue. .We only fight together when we've got a fucking clue. Yeah, we'll see indeed. No worries. Knobhead.

  • @PAPerTURKeY Well y'know considering Billie Joe's wife is called Adrienne and NOT y'know Amy it's like totally not about Adrienne y'know. I mean c'mon y'know?

  • THIS.IS. EPIC.

  • the start is like king for a day

  • awwww Billie wrote a song about Amy Winehouse :')

  • Ok.. I'm kinda sad that after hearing this and Carpe Diem that I've came to the conclusion that Green Day is starting to rip off their own songs. I know its THEIR songs but still, this is just bullshit. And I love Green Day to fucking death but man, I'm starting to become disappointed.

  • @wildboyz321 Shoplifter?

  • Melodically similar to "Shoplifter"...

  • Forget the "Like" button, there needs to be a freaking "Love" button. And maybe a "I- freaking-love-this-song-it-mak­es-me-wanna-shove-every-note-d­own-into-my-skull" button.

  • @greendaylover313 Agreed. The song is just so perfect.

  • 12 people have a red hot hatred for classic songs like this and Amy Winehouse.

  • I want this played at my funeral. <3 <3 <3 <3

  • I apologize YouTubians, but I believe I killed the replay button....

  • Pretty sure at least 72,000 of those counted views are mine...

  • ......this isnt even green day anymore

  • @richardgarcia4497 Green day is always fucking Green Day.

  • @Lipilonazo true that but compare this to dookie or even insomniac

  • @richardgarcia4497 That only means they have changed their style, they cant always talk about drugs or alcohol, they are nearly 40 hahahahaha. Aniway, if the write song about what they fell like this song, i will continue loving em

  • @Lipilonazo i also mean going from being 20 years old with out makeup and then put eyeliner and maskera from 1 album to another

  • @richardgarcia4497 You say it like they wake up every morning and sit in the bathroom doing their eye liner. Everyone exaggerates Green Days make-up usage. They're only wearing a bit for shows. Probably wasn't even their idea. Besides, who gives a shit. It's just some fucking eye liner.

  • @Chaox56 obviously they dont but wen they do concerts or conduct live interveiws etc they always do its just to sell the image for a younger generation

  • @richardgarcia4497 Actually, there's video footage of Green Day when they were about 19/20 years old, and Billie is wearing eyeliner. They may not have worn it through the 90s, but they did when they were younger, and they are again now (though only sometimes). I don't really see the big deal either way. If they do or if they don't, it doesn't make them any different as people or as a band.

  • <3333!!

  • Officially my favorite Green Day song. <3 Can't get it out of my head. It's so sad but so beautiful. :')

  • This a really good song and I was super stoked that they came out with it because I get to use the lyrics on a project for school. :)

  • is this really about amy winehouse?? .. 27 gone without a trace.... hmmmm

  • @greendaybitch0 is it really?

  • @TheInsomniacGuy i don't know...kinda sounds like it though...

  • Why do I think Walking Alone doesnt sound like any of Amy?

  • amy winehouse lol xD

  • I hope they do come out with this song on the new album I'm kinda sick of the songs they come out with and they don't put on an album.

  • I CAN'T FUCKING WAIIIIITTTTT..

    After the album would be released i'll sing waiting while paying for it even if my voice sucks. xD

  • @Jetgui22 That is exactly what I am going to do. XD

  • @greendaylover313 Yea. I knew I wanted to use a song, and since Green Day is my favorite band, I automatically wanted to incorperate a song of their's into my project. It came down to "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "Amy," and I decided that this would really be good for the project. The song is so sad but it is also so beautiful at the same time.

  • Comment removed

  • @jointaktion Not at all. maybe you're tone deaf.

  • So beautiful... I started to cry, when I heard this and read the lyrics.

  • i listened to this before it had 7800000000 views:)

    

  • come together like a foot in a shoe...

  • Come together like a foot in a shoe, only this time I think I stuck my foot in my mouth...oh wait lol

  • i heard this and burst into tears. Amy pleassseeee come back!;(

  • wrong lyrics... "achy hearts singing out out tune, or am i just signing the blues?"

  • @whatsername1313 i posted the lyrics that were posted on greenday.com so i doubt theyre incorrect

  • @dizzyisme try listening a song from 21st cb while reading the lyrics in greenday.com you'll be very amazed

  • @whatsername1313 no the lyrics are right. but i understand how you thought it was those lyrics. however, i looked it up to and all the green day sites have the lyrics posted

  • I'm obsessed with this song at the moment. I love it so much. Billie Joe's voice is so Beautiful.

  • if theyre going to record this...id want it to be like this, like the recording of good riddance, just a guitar and vocal. it makes it more heartfelt. i love this song so much :)

  • @thetrueincarnation that would be awesome. i hope that's how it's recorded too, but really whatever way they decide to do it (if at all) will be amazing. :)

  • Walking Alone + Shoplifter = Amy :D :D :D :D

  • @billie5461 Pretty much, haha :)

    I love it though.

  • it is hard to hear

  • Quality*

  • I really like this song, despite the quiet could be a bit better it was truly a good song.

  • Sound like Waliking Alone..great song ;)

  • I seriously fell in love with this song within the first 10 seconds of listening to it. it's so different from all their other songs too, and it's really beautiful. I can't wait to hear the studio version :D

  • I can't wait to hear a studio version of this..

  • Amy don't you go, I want you around. That part is identical to that part in Shoplifter :p No shame in stealing from yourself mr.Armstrong xD

  • @0LaPola it think he also used parts of the melody of all i've got to do by the beatles and walking alone by green day. I'm guessing this song won't be released as a single since the melody's not completely original. nice lyrics though

  • down loaded it an now on my mp3 player

  • Beautiful ;D I immediately fell in love with it -3

  • thumbs up if you wanna this song to be a new single from them :D

  • @MIGUELVSMETAL era un concierto privado y eios fueron muy claros en que nadie lleve ni telefonos ni camaras ni nada... yo creo que el que lo grabo merece un premio :D

  • can someone say The Beatles "All I've Got to Do"

  • @enthnd03 yes i knew it sounded familiar. you're right. some parts of it also sound like walking alone by green day

  • Such a great song. Ugh-3 I love Billie. And Green Day in general. Every single song they have came up with is just genius. And their covers are usually better than the original. I love them-3

  • I don´t even know who amy whinehouse is, but its just a little sad anyway. This song is just amazing.

    But its right, it does sound a bit of Walking alone and Shoplifter.

    I think they use that songs because, it songs people dont listen so much to, But all us green day fans...... We know it!!

    Whatever, the song is good anyway. :D

  • this is pretty bad actually

  • when i heard about the airline kicking billie off, i LOLed and said yup...thats our billie.

  • @livetolivenstuff So true!!! HAHAHA

  • i think that airplane should apologize to billie joe. ) ; that was uncalled for!

  • wow, this song is actually pretty good!

  • abierto tendras el orto

  • The best tribute for Amy so far...

  • they shouldve performed this at the vmas

  • oh god that's really a mix of Walking Alone and Shoplifter...c'mon guys you can do better than this!!

  • I would've much rather seen this performed on the vma's rather than what was performed for her memorial.

  • Awesome

  • Im speechless... This is beautiful. I hope it makes it on the new CD :)

  • This brings me down. This song will be to the new record what Wake me up when september ends is to American Idiot.

  • I love this song! The melody reminds me of 'All I've Gotta Do' by The Beatles.

  • @thecardsharp same!

  • "Amy don't go,I want you around" sounds like the chorus from "Shoplifter"

  • cool :D

  • i'm gonna cry. this song is truly amazing.

  • sweet =)

  • My eyes are starting to form tears I think it's amazing Billie wrote this song for Amy...I'm honestly speechless

  • aww i teared up green day never fails to amaze me they need to get the cd out quick....

  • Heartbreaking. My reverence goes to Billie Joe.

  • Amy Forever...

  • ...

  • This song is about Amy Winehouse because if you look at the lyrics she was 27 when she passed away and she has a horseshoe tattooed on her (means good luck)

  • no shit its about amy winehouse
