Missed the beginning..When he sang this, it was into the morning of 30 years since his father passed. He started by pointing to Heaven. Billie was crying..I was crying. It was absolutely beautiful. "Like my father's come to pass, thirty years has gone so fast"

When you see your hero crying, it's the most depressing thing you can ever see

When you see your hero DYING, it's the most depressing and heartbreaking thing you can ever see or go through. My dad passed away in the month of September. This song means more to me than I can ever say. Add in the fact that I've been a fan since 1993.

@roboticfalcon21 6 жыл бұрын

I agree with you completely! I saw him perform this a few years ago and thought that the concert was so awesome! But as I grew older, I couldn't imagine how he felt when he sang this song. I saw this in Concord California in about 2010 - 2014. It was one of those years. I can't remember which one it was.

It's really deep. This song is the first and only thing that got me to feel and accept my dad had passed away, almost 7 years after it happened and because of similar circumstances. Both mine and Bjs dads passed from cancer when we were 9 or 10 and we are both the youngest of about 6 siblings . So it hit me really hard and was one of the reasons GD became my first favourite band . I can't see this video without crying my eyes out

@@saintessa My story is very similar too. I lost my mom when I was 8 years old, also from cancer. It was 7 years later, almost to the day when I heard of Green Day for the first time. 10 years when I heard this song for the first time. It’s crazy how many people can relate to Billie and his lyrics.

I understand Billie's pain. On September 26th, 2014, my dad passed away. I was only 12 and a half. But this man has balls. He knows as musician, the show must go on. He's a strong man, and yes he was crying, that shows he's strong for his dad. I wouldn't be able to sing this song live either without crying. That shows he's making his dad proud and he's a very dedicated musician. Rock on Billie 🤘🎸 your father shall rest in peace 💚

Kinda same here as well my grandfather passed away August 31st 2022 he was in new Zealand and I live all the way in Wales and he went to new Zealand in 2019 so the last time I saw him in person was 3 years before he died. He went to new Zealand on business and then lockdown happened and while he was there he got prostate cancer. The thing is I had his number and my mum kept telling me to message him but I always said I'd get round to it eventually and I did on 2 occasions where I messaged him about the fact I did a play in school but then after that I thought I didn't need to and that was a few weeks maybe a month before his death over those few weeks my mum kept telling me I should text him more because we both knew about his cancer and that's when I kept saying I would get round to it and when I finally did get round to it it was 3 days before he died and the thing is he was under sleep anesthesia from an operation he had and he ended up dying in his sleep. I regret not texting him. At the start of lockdown when he was in New Zealand me and my sister did get to go on video call with him and he wasn't ill then but that was the last time I saw his face and him actually talking and my mum phoned him loads obviously seeing that it is her father where talking about so I would still hear his voice every now and then. But I still feel so angry at myself to this day about not messaging him lots even when my mum told me to. I wonder if when he died he thought I didn't love him because I didn't message him much. What else I always found sad is his family couldn't watch him go even more so my one of his sons so one of my uncles never said goodbye at all and never talked to him at all while he was in New Zealand. My mum his sister told him and warned him about it but he said he wouldn't for some reason which I don't know why he never wanted to say goodbye and he didn't go to the funeral service we had for him. We still haven't had a proper funeral because they haven't sent his ashes over from new Zealand yet. Anyway I've said too much now I haven't I 😂. Sorry for the loss of your father.
