聽過很多次 GREENDAY 的這首歌 WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS，被感動過，因為這是紀念他死去的父親的歌。他的父親患肺癌在那年的9月去世。在父親去世後的20年裡，每年9月是他最傷感的日子。2005年這歌在美國流行歌排行第6位。

昨天的MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL， NEW ORLEANS 迎來KATRINA 之後第一個HOME GAME，GREENDAY 在開賽前演唱了這首歌。

聽着這首歌，眼前不禁浮現出去年KATRINA之後，NO 的樣子，HURRICANE 之後那肆虐的洪水，崩潰的大堤，倒塌的房屋，漂浮的屍體，逃亡流浪的人群，SUPER DOME 內外那無助的眼神，那絕望的吶喊，。。。。。無數次，電視上那些漢子們說 I LOST EVERYTHING的表情，。。。。

聽着這歌，電視屏幕禁不住模糊起來。。。

唉，可能真是老了，嘿嘿

再聽一次這歌吧

Wake Me Up When September Ends

GREENDAY

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
