Wake Me Up When September Ends

I just saw this music video on Much. I rarely tune in to this channel, but whenever I do I end up seeing something worth LJing about.

But yeah, the video for "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day... Wonderful song, but... The video itself made me feel sick to my stomach.

About half way through, the song stops and there's a little clip thing... A young woman comes out to the porch and is crying hysterically, screaming something along the lines of "how could you do this to me?" and at first the guy she's yelling at looks understanding, then he turns and starts yelling at her about how she should understand and...

There's something about couples fighting that makes my stomach turn. If I see such emotion stronly portrayed, I can feel it myself... I didn't even know why she was so upset, yet I wanted to yell right alongside of her.

I remember being in situations where I've yelled those very words... "how could you do this to me?". I felt as if I had gone back in time.

I know my heart is better than intact, so why does it feel like it's just been stepped on?

It's because of your sense of empathy.Although you may not think so you have experienced much in your life,and you are able to put yourself in people's places to better understand them.You probably felt bad when you saw that clip because it reminded you of what you were feeling then when you were arguing with your boyfriend.That make any sense to you?

(ex-bf) It does, and that's the general conclusion I came to, aswell. It just sucks to feel that hurt when there's really no reason to. :S

Interesting how things like that have an effect on us...I saw the video and personally, I didn't care for it either. Enh...Plus, I found that whole beginning bit to be drawn out and a bit cheesy...But that's me...

I didn't see the beginning - I only started paying attention once the music stopped, so I really was lost as to what was going on. Heh... ^^'
