Jesus of Suburbia.
The third track of the Amercian Idiot album is actually a fictional anti-hero created by Billie Joe.
Boulevard of Broken Dreams, tells the story from this character’s point of view.
It comes in at track 5 after Jesus of Suburbia and Holiday.
With its mid-tempo tempo and somber lyrical characteristics, it‘ s a stark contrast to the previous track‘Holiday’ which depicts the free spirit of life. Holiday is the party that goes on, while Boulevard of Broken Dreams is the aftermath (Greenday to MTV).
