Time of your life


"Time of Your Life" by Green Day is a popular song performed in the key of G major. It was written and composed by Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead vocalist and guitarist of the punk rock band Green Day. The song was released as a single in 1997 and was included on their album "Nimrod." Interestingly, "Time of Your Life" was originally written during the band's Dookie sessions in 1994 but didn't make it onto the album. The song gained significant popularity, becoming a staple at graduations, weddings, and other sentimental events. The melody of the song is characterized by its gentle acoustic guitar strumming and heartfelt lyrics, giving it a nostalgic and reflective vibe.
