This time it’ll be more optimistic than usually. If you asked me which song I find the most positive and hopeful, the first one appearing in my head, will be “Good Riddance” by Green Day. I’m not a big fan of this band. Also I don’t think this song is something absolutely genius when it comes to the melodic line and the vocalist’s voice. I mostly appreciate the lyrics.
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
There is nothing granted in your life. Nothing lasts forever. Change is the only sure thing in your life. The song introduces an optimistic point of view on this aspect - don’t attach to anything, because everything will pass away, but appreciate everything, cause it’ll never happen again. Look at life with open mind and curiosity of new, unpredictable situations.
Very simple, for me a bit too simple. But despite of it, the song gives me soooo much hope. I love it because it was with me in some important moments. Every time I hear “Good Riddance”, it reminds me also about someone very important for me, who did a lot in my life. That’s why I feel a kind of sentiment towards this song.
