+Alex G Yeah, because every part of the live version of the song has to be identical to the studio version, therefore they can't play it without this immensely needed "choir"... Smh....
You're all wrong. They don't play it anymore because they were friends, especially Travis, with DJ AM, whose real name was Adam Goldstein; he overdosed on drugs in 2009. It hurts the band too much to play the song because he always comes to mind when they play that song.
My step sis she was a mom to me growing up and in her letter she wrote “Please tell Mikey this isn’t his fault.” and so when that line hit it hits home…
When my best friend died we did exactly what they sung about, and that was before this song was written. We were all invited into his room by his mother to take something each that we could keep in his memory. That is why this song will always make me cry.
Same, but in reverse. My friend killed himself just before his 13h birthday for reasons we'll never truly know. The day before, he went to each and every one of our houses, and gave us each something he knew we'd love from his own posessions. Skateboards, videgames, music tapes, comics, everything. None of us knew until after. His excuse was that he just didn't want then anymore. I really wish I'd had some fucking intuition, but I was only 11. Perhaps if we'd all met up that day, maybe we could have pieced it together. As it is, it became an event that marked me for life, and was my first real experience with mortality and death. Six months later my best friends sister got murdered also. They never caught the bastard, and it still remains an unsolved mystery. They are both buried in the same row. This song always reminds me of them.
@@mikejenkins4924 someone I used to sit with at lunch in middle school one day just stopped showing up, turns out he took a shotgun into the woods and ended his pain. We were all losers, and I felt very similar but would’ve never guessed he was feeling that way. There wasn’t really a service or anything. Very heartbreaking but I know he’s at peace.
So heartbreaking to hear y’all’s stories I pray that all of y’all are doing great now and that those families are too. I always loved this song just bc it always keeps connecting with how I feel as I go through my teen years it helps a lot when I drop from a high point and it reminds me that tmw can hold such better days
Hahahahha I live in Ireland and take a look in winter. Daytona beach looks amazing :) although there is beauty to the grey bleakness and the windswept trees next to the Atlantic coast
@@mrauzziejoe4363 Yeah when I went to Florida like 5 or 6 years ago I went during winter and not during summer, I almost feel like I didn't get the full experience because of that lol but it was cool
Wooooow ..... the first Time I Heard this was in 2,000 ...... 16 years ago ..... we´re getting old ..... Those were the best years of my life ...... Nothing like the School ....
They whole performance sounded really good. Travis' drums sounded so incredible but they were just a little bit loud. Other than that, it was on point.
Lord, this is just, wow. I mean, there’s a bunch of people cheering because these guys have the balls to stand on stage and jam out talking about suicide. This is special. Gives me chills
2 years later and i was thinking the same thing. And they’re loving it such a feeling! It gives me the feeling of sadness, feeling sorry for someone that was so sad they wanted to really go through with suicide. But there’s excitement cause they are band i really love and they normally joke around but make good music. The song is surprisingly upbeat for the lyrics. All around one of the best songs.
My mom and I have very different musical tastes. Being a young child, I didnt win the vote many times, as to what song would play on the radio (plus we lived up North, didnt get many stations). She ALWAYS let me crank this one when it came on though... she was never big on this style of music, and hated anything LOUD, yet would always let this one slip through the cracks, when I got the CD, I'd play this song as we'd drive down the long hill towards the soccer fields where I would play late night games... This song is special, so is my mom, thanks mom!
I love this performance so much. If I was there and heard this song live, I'd probably cry even though people were jumping to it. It's a very sensitive song and I can see it being s crutch for me when I need it. Watching videos like this just makes the 90s/early 2000s era look so beautiful. I truly don't know what those times were like but I wish I was a teenager when Blink 182 was at their peak. I'm going to be a senior in high school and I am surrounded by technology and gossip and awful music. Not many people in my school like Blink 182. Or at least I don't think. And I just always hate being on my phone sometimes so I only go on it at night as of right now. I think technology is great and it's involved with my future career but I also miss days like this even though I never actually experienced them. I just feel ahead of my time sometimes and that I just don't belong in my age group sometimes. This turned into a long rant about my sinking heart but at least I can still jam out to this music today. That's the beauty of music. It will never disappear. So thankful for this band.
Hope that everyone here is okay. Please be safe and remember that people care about you, even if it may not feel like it sometimes. If you are feeling troubled, maybe professional help is the answer, or talking to a trusted friend about what you are going through. Wish you all the best.
@@prbumi6800 The studio recording is played in C Major and Tom is tuned to D Standard. They’re playing it here in B Major, so I’m guessing Tom’s guitar is tuned to C# Standard but I may be wrong.
I never thought I'd die alone I laughed the loudest, who'd have known? I trace the cord back to the wall No wonder it was never plugged in at all I took my time, I hurried up The choice was mine, I didn't think enough I'm too depressed to go on You'll be sorry when I'm gone I never conquered, rarely came Sixteen just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was wide, too late to try The tour was over, we'd survived I couldn't wait 'til I got home To pass the time in my room alone I never thought I'd die alone Another six months I'll be unknown Give all my things to all my friends You'll never step foot in my room again You'll close it off, board it up Remember the time that I spilled the cup Of apple juice in…
This is such a powerful song. Brings me to tears every time. Mark is the best writer. Thank you Mr. Hoppus for helping me through tough times with this song. #tomorrowholdssuchbetterdays #adamssong #blink182
Man this song still hits hard. After the lost of my sister and how things have gone in my life in terms of failing at everything, this song sure hits the hardest. Some days I feel like the end might be best for me.
Pallzed I actually still wear shorts like that in the summer. mind you not as long as the 90's (some things need to stay in the 90's), but they fall below the knee easily. Dickies life.
@Punx is idol and noise I think one of the reasons why I seldom wear shorts is because of this trend from when I was a teenager. I thought the trend was stupid and didn't want to wear long shorts, but I didn't want to be teased for wearing "short" shorts.
...SONG OF THE DAY!!! BLINK 182 - ADAM'S SONG (1999) De entrada les explico que es una canción que grita y representa a todos los que han sufrido acoso psicológico o bullying y es una carta abierta para volver a tener fe en que las cosas mejorarán. Adam Krieger era un chico de 16 años con serios problemas psicológicos y múltiples intentos de suicidio, después de padecer de acoso escolar y sentirse sin redes de apoyo, se quita la vida, parte de su carta de despedida se difundió en internet y de esta manera llega por medio de e-mail a Blink-182. Los miembros de la banda se sintieron conmovidos por los sentimientos del estudiante, pero a la vez se sintieron perplejos pues podían sentirse identificados con las palabras y sentimientos del suicida, y en gran medida con aquel sentimiento de soledad a pesar de estar rodeados de fanáticos…Mark Hoppus compone una canción que mezclaba los sentimientos de Adam con sus propios sentimientos, es una canción oscura, sin embargo anti-suicida cuyo mensaje es que EXISTEN MUCHAS COSAS POR LAS CUALES VALE LA PENA VIVIR EN ESTA HERMOSA VIDA.🤘🏿ULTRAMEGAROLOTA🤘🏿
i love this performance and this song and this band so so so much. i wouldn't be here had i not discovered blink-182 as a preteen and i'm glad i'm alive today to listen to this song, and grateful that i still love blink just as much as i did when i first heard them. i would do anything to hear this song live one day and hope maybe that will happen sometime in the future =') thank you mark, tom and travis.
Okay I see these comments on all the older concerts. I’m paying a lot of money to see these people live so I’m gonna record it to watch it again. It’s not like we’re on Facebook. People just want to relive that experience. And also, ok boomer
I got nostalgia depression bad .. friends have died from ODs .. other friends not in the picture anymore .. havent found that special one .. sucks .. song gives me comfort ...90s and early 2000s were the time man .. I wish I could go back
