14. From Wikipedia

• "Wake Me Up When September Ends" is a song by American rock
band Green Day, released on June 13, 2005, as the fourth single from
the group's seventh studio album, American Idiot (2004).
• "Wake Me Up When September Ends" was written by Green Day
frontman Billie Joe Armstrong about his father, who died of cancer in
September 1982 when Billie Joe was ten. Armstrong, at one point,
dubbed the song the most autobiographical he had written to that
point, considering it "therapeutic" but also difficult to perform.
• "Wake Me Up When September Ends" became closely associated
with Hurricane Katrina, which struck the Gulf Coast of the United
States on August 29, 2005. "Wake Me Up When September Ends"
became symbolic in the aftermath; one online blogger paired the
song with television coverage of the disaster, creating a viral
video. Green Day performed the song days after the disaster
on ReAct Now: Music & Relief, a benefit concert broadcast
on MTV and its associated properties.
