 [ "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" ]

1: A great acoustic song from Californian Pop-Punk/Alternative Rock band Green Day. Released on their fifth album, Nimrod, it has also been included on the albums International Superhits! and Bullet In A Bible. Alternate titles for it include Good Riddance, Time of Your Life, and Time of Your Life (Good Riddance). Billie Joe Armstrong said about the song: "At the time I wrote Good Riddance, I was breaking up with a girl that was moving to Ecuador, and I was trying to be as understanding about it as I could. I wrote the song as kind of a bon voyage. I was trying not to be bitter, but I think it came out a little bit bitter anyway... I thought that calling the song "Time of Your Life" was just a little too level-headed for me, so I had to come up with something different." At the beginning of the album version, Billie Joe Armstrong messes up, tries again, makes the same mistake, then says "fuck." In between the tries, you can hear the faint sound of a digital metronome. The song has been covered many times, and has also appeared in various other media. It has also been used many times as a graduation song.
