Green Day – 21 Guns – Music Video

EDIT: JUNE 29TH!: 100,000 views, thank you for all the views everybody!



ABOUT THE SONG AND THE MUSIC VIDEO!:



The music video was directed by Marc Webb; it was filmed in Los Angeles, California on June 6, 2009. It premiered on MySpace on Monday, June 22, 2009 at midnight EST.



The band is found in a white motel room with Christian and Gloria, the two protagonists throughout the album 21st Century Breakdown. Gloria is startled by the arrival of police outside, and closes the louvers on the blinds to shut them out. A hail of bullets ensue, penetrating the motel room and terrifying Gloria. As shots continue to pass by her, Gloria notices that the phone in the motel room is blinking. She holds the handset to her ear for a short time before throwing the phone in an aquarium. As the damage from the shootout continues to destroy the room and its furnishings, Christian and Gloria lock eyes and walk unscathed toward each other, and embrace (In the same position that was on the album cover art).



At one point during the video, the words written on the walls of the motel room are revealed for a moment to be the lyrics to Green Days song See The Light, the last song on 21st Century Breakdown.



The video ends with Billie Joe Armstrong hitting the final note of the song, with the lights fading out. The video is the fourth Green Day video to feature touring/studio backup guitarist Jason White, having appeared in “When I Come Around”, “Wake Me Up When September Ends” and “Working Class Hero”.



Also, The following 21st century breakdown songs: 21 Guns, Know Your Enemy and East Jesus Nowhere will be avaliable to download on Rock Band! Sadly, I don’t have rock band, I have Guitar Hero.

Lyrics:



Do you know what’s worth fighting for

When it’s not worth dying for?

Does it take your breath away

And you feel yourself suffocating?

Does the pain weigh out the pride?

And you look for a place to hide?

Did someone break your heart inside?

You’re in ruins…



One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky

You and I



When you’re at the end of the road

And you lost all sense of control

And your thoughts have taken their toll

When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul

Your faith walks on broken glass

And the hangover doesn’t pass

Nothing’s ever built to last

You’re in ruins



One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky

You and I



Did you try to live on your own

When you burned down the house and home?

Did you stand too close to the fire?

Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone



When it’s time to live and let die

And you can’t get another try

Something inside this heart has died

You’re in ruins



One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms into the sky

You and I
