Green Day - 21 Guns (HD) #TopVideo #BestRockAndMetalVideos Music video for 21 Guns by American punk rock band Green Day taken from their 8th album 21st Century Breakdown (2009). About the music video: The music video was directed by Marc Webb and filmed in Los Angeles on June 6, 2009. It premiered on MySpace on Monday, June 22, 2009. The video peaked at number 1 on VH1 Top 20 Countdown on August 22, 2009 and again on September 19, 2009. It also won Best Rock Video, Best Direction in a Video and Best Cinematography in a Video for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. The video takes place with the band and the albums two protagonists Christian (Josh Boswell) and Gloria (Lisa Stelly) taking refuge in a white room after robbing a bank. The police arrive outside the room and open fire through the window, to the couples terror. As bullets rain through the room, the band continues playing. Gloria picks up the phone and throws it into a fish tank. As the bullets continue to fly and tear apart the room, Christian and Gloria become calm and walk toward each other, unharmed by the bullets. They embrace and kiss as the room goes dark, recreating the 21st Century Breakdown cover art. As the song ends, the room lights up again, and they are still uninjured. After the room lights up, there are various shots of destruction in the room, including a shot of some of the writing on the walls. The writing that they show is an excerpt of the lyrics of the song See The Light which also appears on 21st Century Breakdown. The video may represent the meaning of the song in the 21st Century Breakdown story. 21 Guns was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo/Group with Vocals and Best Rock Song in 2010. The song has been a success on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 22. Green Day - 21 Guns Lyrics: Do you know whats worth fighting for When its not worth dying for Does it take your breath away And you feel yourself suffocating Does the pain weigh out the pride And you look for a place to hide Did someone break your heart inside Youre in ruins One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I When youre at the end of the road And you lost all sense of control And your thought have taken their toll When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul Your faith walks on broken glass And the hangover doesnt pass Nothings ever built to last Youre in ruins One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I Did you try to live on your own When you burnt down the house and home? Did you stand too close to the fire Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone? When its time to live and let die And you cant get another try Something inside this heart has died Youre in ruins One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky One, 21 guns Lay down your arms.. give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I
