Watch: Green Day’s “21 Guns” Music Video

Love conquers all — even a barrage of gunfire.

That’s the message in Green Day’s new music video for “21 Guns,” the arena-filling second single from their latest rock opera, 21st Century Breakdown . The clip, directed Mark Webb (500 Days of Summer), shows a hot young couple on opposite sides of a disheveled motel room, separated by a barrage of bullets flying by and blasting holes in the walls, furniture, and even a fish tank.

Finally, the lovers (possibly Christian and Gloria, the central characters in Breakdown) take frontman Billie Joe Armstrong’s advice — “Throw up your arms into the sky / You and I / Give up the fight” — and unite in the middle of the room, bullets still flying, to embrace in a pose reminiscent of the album’s cover art.

We hope they had the time of their lives.
