Angels & Airwaves - The Flight Of Apollo (Audio Video) 

In rare situations. There is a man who is ridiculously well known, wealthy, respected, etc....and he is still underrated and underappreciated for his contributions to music. Enter Tom Delonge. This song is symbolic of that, an absolute underrated GEM.

Tom DeLonge is one of the best songwriters of the modern era. Plain and simple.

Tom's so talented. He can write such simple yet catchy songs with direct but profound words

I was lying on the grass in my garden, enjoying the first warm day, when I was listening to ava. This music makes me rethink my whole life. Nostalgic rush, thinking about my past, especially my parents, the mix of the sound of ava and the warm sunlight on my face made me cry for a moment. Different vibe ♥️

Intro: Pink Floyd Pre-verse: Box Car Racer Verse + pre-chorus: Blink Chorus: Classic Ava

Life is not perfect - this is evident. But even though when I feel down (sometimes really down) I listen to this song, and immediately realize that "life doesn't hurt, shouldn't hurt so badly". And then I start focusing on what's great and make me happy and trying to forget everything else. Thanks for the song, thanks for the words, and thanks for helping me carry my life on! :)

from blink to boxcar to ava his opening album songs always speak to me SO MUCH.

One of the best songs from AVA

that intro is just killer

Blink Floyd

Lyrics [Intro] I'm flying and something's reaching out Vibrations, can you hear them now? Please help us, we are running out of time My brothers, we are deathly out alive I feel you on a far off distant land We fucked up, let's give ourselves a hand It's over from the heavens on down Heard footsteps, God's coming around [Verse 1] I got an ache like a cat thief's got an alarm It's got a sound like a gunshot over and over I've got a voice so lost off back in my head It takes the heart rate up then down even more I've got my friends face down like a kid in the dark They've got the same fear built up more even more I've let my eyes bright up like a predator shark To let my mind close down every hour by hour [Pre-Chorus] Finally, I get this feeling we're all alone in one big world Just to realize that all these shapes and colors are So it doesn't hurt so badly [Chorus] So life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly So life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly Please don't look at life, look at me so sadly Life shouldn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly [Verse 2] Do you feel light shine in the darkest of nights? Or does the pain stack up from the skin to the core? Do you find every time that you cover your eyes To keep the tears held up, dripping down even more? Let the words come down, every line in a sight You put the young flames out it make you cower and cower If the sun breaks in to start a spark and a sign I promise you'll be here to let the light in [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Verse 3] I'm floating and somethings reaching out Vibrations, can you hear them now? Please help us from the heavens on down Our footsteps, God's coming around Go! [Chorus] [Verse 3] Gotta make like a cat thief's got an alarm It's gotta sound like a gunshot over and over I've gotta voice so lost off back in my head It takes the heart rate up then down even more I've got my friends face down like a kid in the dark They've got the same fear built up more even more I've let my eyes bright up like a predator shark To let my mind close down every hour by hour

This is more of an experience than a song.. AVA is in a different realm

The box car racer riff of this song is the best.

Don’t get me wrong the whole song is good but the intro is just incredible .. nostalgic sound and the instrumental with his voice overtop around 1:02 is just perfect

This song takes me away from the world for a good 6 minutes.

I love the boxcar racer reference he makes by saying cat like thief here;)

This was such a great opener. They've always been great at opening songs honestly

smoke, earphones in, close your eyes and let tom take you to space!

I have shivers from start to the end of this song. Everything about it is so intense, the intro, the melody, the lyrics, the synths, the way it goes faster and slower brilliantly... a proper masterpiece!

That intro still gives me shivers :p

I've always loved this song. I didn't know it was about the apolo 1 disaster...

this is so pure omg

Plain and simple and pure this is incredible beautiful music from beautiful artists whom speak truth God love you tom delonghe

This is more than music it’s passion & love

Song is heavenly, love the tone, lyrics, instrumentals, harmonies etc. It's just really well done! Amazing

I always get chills in the beginning of this one

Now as the curtains do close and I try to find miracles out of nothing. I can still feel your heart beating and I feel hope for your life as you are tossed around the waves know that I am forever yours...

This is real music!

The Orton Vs Barrett promo from Survivor Series 2010 bought me here, then i saw someone say the name of the song and found it.

One of my all time favorites that AVA ever made. Keep up the great work guys

I stumble upon a really weird, annoying thing from time to time and that is people falsely calling things, persons or music "underrated"...for example there's a video of a guy naming his top ten most underrated Blink 182 songs. Then all he comes up with are the least known songs instead of underrated ones. that is not what underrated means. It doesn't mean no one knows the song, it means the a big lot of people give it much less credit than it deserves. A little known song can hardly be underrated when hardly any one knows it who could rate it. an underrated Blink song would be "I Miss You" or "Down" because many people liked it, many don't and those who like it often thinks it's pretty good. That is underrating, because those song are incredible and so artful and poetic. So this is what my long comment comes down to: Tom DeLonge to me is the most underrated songwriter I can think of. He put out 5 albums with AVA full of awesomeness and he often did what not many would have thought he couldn't do in terms of creativeness, poetry, melodies, originality and so on. Still most people think he's the shitty guitar player that sings about fucking dogs jerking off...that is underrating...

God this is my favourite band for sure. Cant be bad with Tom in it

My fav artist of all time

DONT LOOK AT LIFE!! LOOK AT ME!!

2023 Checking in

nostalgia

The intro with the song....magic.

My favorite "Love" song, so special, and really makes you feel like your in outer space, awesome!

Amazing song, from relaxing intro to hit your ear with cool guitar scratch.....the best

passed over this song so many times...now its probably my favorite 😄

I know he did Letters to God part 2 on this album, but this song Reminds me more of boxcar racer than any other

im still here for you Tom

Heavenly

This proves that tom can still make blink 182 sounds

......"i feel u..." seems to be there over the sky❤️

My first concert was during this tour at the pageant in St. Louis. Going down memory lane today!

This song is soooooooo beautiful like listening to a motion picture ending about the fallen angels who fell in love with women. All they wanted was to Enlighten mortals of course some turned and used their powers against angel and mortal alike. The story is just 1 sided and this sound is a masterpiece to the storyline

My favorite song

Inspiring and timeless music!!

fantastic song

Simplemente hermoso.. Gran tema de lo mejores sensillos de AVA hasta el momento..Ojalá y que vengan mas

I love angels and airwaves!! This is such a good album I've been a fan for 3 years or more haha Rock on tom!!!

I'm flying, and something's reaching out Vibrations, can you hear them now Please help us, were running out of time My brothers, we are deathly out of line I feel you, on a far off distant land We fucked up, let's give ourselves a hand It's over. From the heavens look down Our footsteps, gods coming around Gotta make like a cat thief's caught in the line It's gotta sound like a gunshot over and over I've gotta voice so lost off back in my head It takes the heart rate up then down even more I've got my friends face down like a kid in the dark They've got the same fear built up more even more I've let my eyes bright up like a predator shark To let my mind close down every hour by hour Finally I get this feeling we're all alone in one big world Just to realize that all these shapes and colors are so it doesn't hurt so badly So life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly, so life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly Please don't look at life, look at me so sadly. Life shouldn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly Do you feel light shine in the darkest of nights, or does the Pain stack up from the skin to the core Do you find every time that you cover your eyes to keep the tears held up, dripping down even more Let the words come down, every line in sight and put the young flames up and make you cower and cower If the sun breaks in instead of sparkin' the sight, I promise you I'lll be here to let the light in Finally I get this feeling we're all alone in one big world Just to realize that all these shapes and colors are so it doesn't hurt so badly So life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly, so life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly Please don't look at life, look at me so sadly. Life shouldn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly I'm flying and somethings reaching out Vibrations, can you hear them now Please help us, from the heavens look down Our footsteps, gods coming around So life doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly, so life doesn't Hurt, doesn't hurt so badly Please don't look at life, look at me so sadly. Life shouldn't hurt, doesn't hurt so badly Gotta make like a cat thief's caught in the line Its gotta sound like a gunshot over and over I've gotta voice so lost off back in my head It takes the heart rate up then down even more I've got my friends face down like a kid in the dark They've got the same fear built up more even more I've let my eyes bright up like a predator shark To let my mind close down every hour by hour Do you feel light shine in the darkest of nights, or does the pain stack up from the skin to the core Do you find every time that you cover your eyes to keep the tears held up, dripping down even more Let the words come down, every line in sight and put the young flames up and make you cower and cower If the sun breaks in instead of sparkin' the sight, I promise you I'll be here to let the light in
