I can't explain how much I love this song. It's definitely my favorite off the new Greenday album. I've haven't really listened-listened to it until today and I must say that it's beautiful. It's complex yet poetic - just the way i like it!
The line "One, 21 guns," is gorgeous, both lyrically and sonically. After all, it encourages a final 21 gun solute - the highest honor during military ceremony. You could look at this song as being "anti-war," especially after American Idiot, but it can easily convey a relationship between two people. The greatest works of art are chameleonic and I love that "21 Guns" can be understood and appreciated in many different ways.
If you haven't done so already,
you should def. take a listen:

One response to “One, 21 Guns”
Have you seen the video yet? It's amazing...Almost as good as "Jesus of Suburbia" (but you know I could just be biased towards JOS because of Pucci lol)
