The song was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

The song'southward music video depicts a couple cleaved apart by the Iraq State of war, which was intended to convey the vocal'southward fundamental theme of loss.

Background [edit]

"Wake Me Up When September Ends" was written by frontman Billie Joe Armstrong virtually his male parent, who died from esophageal cancer in September 1982 when Armstrong was 10 years one-time.[3] [four] Armstrong, at one point, dubbed the song the almost autobiographical he had written to that point, considering information technology "therapeutic" simply too hard to perform.[5]

The song is notable in that it is largely unrelated to the storyline that runs throughout the rest of the album.[5]

Commercial performance [edit]

The unmarried peaked at number six in the United States, condign Green Day'due south 2nd top-10 single. It too peaked at number eight in Canada and the U.k., while reaching number 13 in Australia.

Reception [edit]

Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone deemed the song a sequel to the group's 1997 unmarried "Good Riddance (Fourth dimension of Your Life)".[8]

Music video [edit]

The vocal's music video was directed past Samuel Bayer, best known for his piece of work with Nirvana and Metallica.[9] Bayer wrote the handling for the video, which he envisioned as a mini-movie.[5] Bayer brought the idea of an Iraq War-themed video to the trio after interviewing soldiers who had signed up to fight after being persuaded past a television advertisement. The song'southward music video thus attempts to "turn the machine on itself" past acting equally a commercial for "free thought or peace."[10] Although it was far from the song'due south literal meaning, Armstrong felt information technology appropriate considering the song's theme of loss.[11] Bayer noted that he felt bored with predictable music videos, and wanted to produce a video that felt similar a film. Consequently, he and a crew spent a month casting actors for the roles and conducted rehearsals, uncommon for music videos.[9] The clip was filmed in Los Angeles in late March 2005.[v]

The video focuses on a couple in dearest (played by Jamie Bell and Evan Rachel Forest).[nine] The young man promises never to leave his girlfriend just they later on argue when the boyfriend enlists in the United States Marine Corps. The swain interprets his actions as a way to show her that he loves her so much that he would put his life on the line to keep her safe. Nonetheless, the girlfriend is heartbroken, as he broke his vow to never leave her. The video then shows the fellow in boxing in Iraq being ambushed by insurgents. Despite the Marines fighting back, the beau watches every bit several of his comrades autumn to the footing wounded. Their fate—and his—is left unknown. This scene is intercut with scenes of the girlfriend tearfully mourning in a placidity field. The video ends on this juxtaposition, emphasizing the pain and heartache of losing loved ones due to the war.

The prune prompted criticism from conservative media pundits.[12] On the bailiwick of the clip being seen equally exploitive of the war for amusement purposes, Green Day'south Mike Dirnt rejected this notion: "Rock & roll should be dangerous. […] It should be striking and stir questions, and I think that that video, at the end of the twenty-four hour period, comes down to that core emotion of loss."[10] Bayer considered it his best production to that point, remarking, "'September' is hands downward the greatest thing I've ever done."[9]

The video reached number one on Full Asking Live,[11] and came in second for all-time video of the yr in a 2005 Reader's Poll past Rolling Stone.[xiii]
