Favourite Line from a Green Day Song

Haha, until recently I'd never heard of the word "salud". My sister and I always thought he'd just decided to invent a mental random word and say it for no reason, it always made us laugh when we heard/sang it. Now we know.

Made me chuckle!!! :lol:

the word salud is a word (i think italian) for the term "health"

when said as a toast, it usually means "to good health".

in this case, All the Time is about quitting something- possibly alcohol.

so when used in the song, it may symbolize how he's constantly making toasts when drinking.

Yeah 'salud' is like saying 'cheers' in Spanish, to make a toast :happy:

Today I'm liking Emenius Sleepus

"I knew you back when

And you, you knew me

And now I think you're sick

And I wanna go home"

Dirnt gets straight to the point.

OK here comes my spanish classes (I asked to know if any of you got it):

Salud means health, it is also said inseat of 'Bless You' when somebody sneezes,

AND

It also means 'Cheers!' when you're drinking, so the three of you are right and, yes, the word is spanish, not italian :happy:

Remember, whatever

It seems like forever ago

Remember, whatever

It seems like forever ago

The regrets are useless

In my mind

She's in my head

I must confess

The regrets are useless

She's in my head

From so long ago

(Go, Go, Go, Go..)

And in the darkest nights

If my memory serves me right

I'll never turn back time

Forgetting you, but not the time

IT'S LIKE THE PERFECT ENDING TO AN EMOTIONAL SONG LIKE THAT ONE >

I was thinking as I read the first talk of "Salud" yesterday that it's also used in French. So this morning, I was eating breakfast in a hotel in Philadelphia, and there was a woman behind me talking on her cell phone in French. She talked quite a while (side note: I was gratified by how much I understood). Then she said very clearly, "Salud." After that, she stopped talking for a long time, and then I heard her phone ring and she said "Allo?" So, I realized that she used Salud when finishing her call (it does mean "health" though or "to your health." That's why it's used when people sneeze or make toasts or whatever...).

The French also say "A votre sante" or "Sante" to mean "to your health" or just "health" so I'm thinking Salud is probably a Spanish word that they adopted first for toasting and it's now become common usage. I don't know that this is true, though - I'm just speculating.

They are definitely all alike in many ways - especially Italian and Spanish. All beautiful languages!

I love the way Billie uses Salud in such a subtle way in All the Time. Except for the phrases "Here's to me" and "Down the hatch" there are no real references to drinking except this one at the end of each verse. But it's definitely a song about substance abuse (even though having made a resolution to stop) IMHO.

This time we'll blast it all to hell "

From Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?

"I shuffle though my mind

To see if I can find

The words I left behind

Was it just a dream

That happened long ago?

Oh well...

Nevermind."

^Oh I love that song! The part I like is:

"He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting.

Someone help him up or he is gonna end up quitting."

That sure can describe a whole lot of people..
