The song ‘Holiday’ by Green Day – Rodrigo’s goosebump moment
“Hi, my name is Rodrigo, I am from Tasmania and my goosebump moment was when I heard the song ‘Holiday’ by Green Day. I think my cousin showed it to me when I was 6 years old and at that moment when I first saw the music video and saw those guys in a car having fun, I knew at that moment that I wanted something like that in my life. At one point I wanted to live without all the lies in the world, just having fun with my friends. I feel that I am trying to do that currently, always being with people that will always tell me the truth and I know I will have a good time with them without having to worry that they will start giving me a hard time, I think everyone needs to look for that.”
‘Holiday’, single from the album American Idiot
‘Holiday’ is the third single from the album American Idiot, by the American punk rock band Green Day. While the song is considered a predecessor to the single ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’, it was released after it, in late 2004.
The video for this song is about the band’s journey through the roads and streets at night in a 1968 Mercury Monterey convertible. It also features images of the city by day and night and in a bar where each member of the band plays three different roles. ‘Holiday’ was used as part of the soundtrack for the 2006 comedy film Accepted.
