No way anything that is sad yet epic is better than this. This song is about the death of Billie Joe's father's death and people who have died in the September eleventh attacks. Not only are the lyrics deep, but the melody is just so epic. The opening is iconic, the chorus is goose bump inducing, the drums go along so well, and the guitar and bass guitar work is legendary.
