My iPod #23: Green Day - All the Time

Evening all.

I downloaded 'Nimrod' back in 2010. That was the year that the band had their own 'Rock Band' game dedicated to them. No one probably plays that game anymore, seeing as you could export all the songs into the normal Rock Band games anyway. However, it was a sight to behold Billie Joe, Mike and Tré all cartoon form, showing their change in appearances from the Dookie era, to American Idiot, and finally to 21st Century Breakdown.

Again, 'All the Time' isn't probably the most memorable song that people will remember from Nimrod. There's probably one good reason for that. The album itself was the one that began their movement from three-chord punk rock songs to songs which, I guess, carried a deeper meaning to them. They were becoming mature. Eww.

Although the song wouldn't have found itself on Dookie, nor definitely Insomniac, 'All the Time' seems the closest on the album that could have been written in those recording sessions. If 'Haushinka' was considered for Dookie, 'All the Time' certainly could have been.

The song's overall message? Time goes fast.

That's the song for the day. Hope you enjoyed it :)

Until next time.

Jamie.
