5.0 out of 5 stars Unlike the Others
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2006
I don't like Green Day much at all but this is a wonderful song. I LOVE it. It is way better than their other songs espcecially the ones nowadays like "American Idiot" and "Wake Me Up When September Ends" so if you INSIST on getting Green Day, this is the ONLY acceptable song.

Report5.0 out of 5 stars Take a Trip Back to the Time of Your Life
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2001
Though this song was released a decade ago, it still remains a personal favorite. Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of Green Day at all, but as far as I'm concerned, this is one of the all-time best of the nineties.
There's something very comforting about the song. During everytime of personal crisis, the song can help. With it's simple guitar riffs and basic but beautiful lyrics, you just can't help but love it. After the World Trade Center was attacked, I dug through all my old CDs looking for some sort of solace. This is the only CD that not only calmed me down but also helped me think. If you've never heard it, buy it today. If you fondly remember it from not so long ago, now's your chance to pick it up.

I really wanted more songs on here. Nobody did the track listing. I wanted the tracks that weren't on the album. I want my money back.

Report5.0 out of 5 stars Great single shows Green Days lighter side
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2000
I've liked Green Day for years now. But then they came out with Nimrod and took the world by surprise by writing one of the best and most memorable slow-paced rock songs of our time. This CD not only gives you that song, but also two others that were only released on the pricy Austrailian import of Nimrod. Both these songs diverge from their harder attitude and are great for people who like Green day songs like Time of your life but not stuff like Basket Case or Brain Stew.

Well this is the best song Green Day has ever written. It was played on the Super Bowl(XXXII)and also it was played on the last show of Sienfield. If you think you like Green Day i think you should buy the album nimrod.(i rate it 5 stars)or the single.The single has 4 songs on it(there is three Time of Your Life singles)Time of Your Life Rotting,Suffocate,and You Lied

5.0 out of 5 stars there's a reason this song is played the world over
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 20, 2013
Everything about the song is superb. From Billie-Joe quietly swearing at himself after the false start to the swelling strings between the verses, to the infamous violin solo and a final gentle string swell before it all fades away, there is nothing you could possibly fault. The production values are superb (certainly when compared to most of their earlier output from 1,000 hours and Kerplunk, which sounded like they had been recorded in a tin can!) and represented a new peak in sonic achievement for a punk (later pop-punk) band. The lyrics and songwriting are excellent. How Billie-Joe can conjure so much feeling and emotion from what is essentially a very basic 3-chord song is nothing short of remarkable. Even the music video has a certain tinged nostalgia to it (you've probably seen it already but YouTube it anyway!) as it follows random people from all walks of life just going about their daily business, interspersed with cuts of Billie-Joe playing his acoustic on a shabby looking mattress in a motel that could be anywhere.
There's a reason this song is played the world over, at weddings, graduations, funerals, sports events and more besides. I grew up listening to this record, age 13-16 and I just wonder what could have been if GD had recorded more acoustic songs or ballads. Look how quickly Coldplay rose to fame by doing just that.. GD could have been even bigger than they are now.
