In this ballad, Armstrong revisits his painful childhood and thinks about the day he lost his innocence when his father died. However, Billie Joe Armstrong has confirmed to the public that the song was written as a memorial anthem about his father, a jazz musician and minor league baseball catcher, who died of esophageal cancer when Armstrong was only ten years old. In the liner notes, the song is dated September 10, and it is track 11 on the album. There once was much debate about what the song was about, one of the most common initial beliefs being that it is about the events of 9/11.
