After hearing One More Time, I just had to come here. These songs mean so damn much it hurts sometimes...Blink has such a special place in so many hearts in every corner of the world
Man, this really hurt to listen to. Life just isn't what it used to be but as soon as this song started playing I had a rush of emotions. I had completely forgotten this song even existed and now I'm flooded with memories I forgot I had. Fall in love, make mistakes, take that risk. Live your life, guys.
This is what I keep referring back to when I fear the worst for Mark, I just remind myself of this and there have been many survivors so Mark WILL be one of those survivors!!!
I like to see this as more of a climax and not an epilogue not saying everything after this is horrible (I thought neighborhoods and DED was good) but I will 100% agree this song is on a level that they can’t go back to this song is truly unique and can’t be tapped into again
I always used to listen to this song while on the bus going to my crush's house. Literally, everytime I came over, this is the song I played. That was almost 9 years ago today and we are now 7 years in. I'm gonna ask her to marry me after all this pandemic nonsense is over. Wish me luck, my dudes and dudets 🤙🏼 Edit: She said yes!!! Thank you guys for all the support. Have a great year, everyone!! Edit 2: we're gonna get married next week!!! Thank you guys for all the support. Best of luck to y'all!! 💕
I did always exactly the same but she broke up with me 3 weeks ago after 4 years of relationship and my world fell into pieces.. hold her tight bro, i wish no one to feel that pain im feeling now, good luck ❤
My brother passed away a month ago. He was 35. Blink 182 had been his favorite band ever since he was a teenager. I had this played at his funeral. I miss him so much. If you are struggling with addiction, please reach out to someone. ❤️
I feel you.. my dad loved blink. He passed just about a month ago as well and was only 40. He was huge into music all together and got me so into it. He was a drummer and had all of Blinks albums from Enema to Neighborhoods down on the drums, he was seriously something else. It’s like the only way I have to connect with him anymore is through all the music we used to play and listen to together. This song and Man Overboard really hit the heart strings
Your brother was obviously one great dude. I have a feeling I’ve probably met him somewhere. Been a blink fan for many years and seen them live many times. We are one big family. Praying for you and your family. Thank you for sharing this
I remember when I heard this song for the first time on MTV and the moment I realized it was like a "goodbye" song from them to me because they were going to break up, I remember that I started to cry like a little girl, I just wanted to yell at my TV "THANK YOU GUYS!!" with tears in my eyes for every song, for every good memory and every word they sang in their songs I remember me sitting in the couch and singing to them "and don't forget that I will be right here, waiting..." Hoping with all my heart that they don't break up. I know they don't know me but they are a huge part of my life and I consider them my friends, I hope that one day I will meet them and just tell them how grateful I am to them for everything. It stills break my heart everytime I hear this song and hearing Tom yelling "Please save me, this time I cannot run" :/ Sorry for the nostalgic comment but I believe you guys will understand me. Greetings from Mexico.
Not trying to date myself, but it's pretty awesome to see that 15 years later they're still doing the same thing they were to me, when I was trying to do my homework.
LYRICS Come here, please hold my hand for now Help me, I'm scared please show me how to fight this, God has a master plan and I guess I am in His demand Please save me, this time I cannot run And I'll see you when this is done And now I have come to realize That you are the one who's left behind Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on To me I'm right here waiting I see, a light it feels good And I'll come back soon just like you would It's useless, my name has made the list And I wish, I gave you one last kiss Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on To me I'm right here waiting And take my one last breath, And don't forget That I will be right here waiting Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on To me I'm right here waiting And take my one last breath, And don't forget That I will be right here waiting Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on To me I'm right here waiting And take my one last breath, And don't forget That I will be right here waiting
"God has a master plan and i guess I am in his demand" Tom he know ahead of time when he create Angels And Airwaves.so genuis guy almost perfect man for me.thank you youtube lol hehe
My fucking favorite song. My fucking favorite band. I didn't cry when I heard the rumors about Tom leaving. I didn't cry when I red the Mark and Travis Rolling Stones interview. But now, listening to this fucking song and watching this fucking video, now I'm crying. Thank you blink-182, for everything. Hope they'll fix this shitty mess. blink-182 life. For life.
They have come so far :( I remember growing up and listening to all of their music and I remember being so sad when they broke up. Then when they got back together, their music was good but I had to get it through my head that their music will never be the same. I love blink-182 forever and thanks for all of the memories
Even though this song came out in 2003 it will most definitely be the goodbye song to my teenage years. I grew up listening to Blink and it's the one consistent thing in all of my 15 years of life... :'(
+Gohan The Husky ... ive been listening to them since april 20 2000 ... funny thing was i was born then as well my mother toldme that she had headphones on her belly listening to this specifically the song Josie... this will always be the single best band in the world to me
+Gohan The Husky ... ive been listening to them since april 20 2000 ... funny thing was i was born then as well my mother toldme that she had headphones on her belly listening to this specifically the song Josie... this will always be the single best band in the world to me
I feel the same too. I listened to their music growing up and I had the chance to see them live back in 2005 right before they broke up but that fell through.
The nostalgia is killing me, this is my childhood and just to listen to this makes the feels go insane.. Love Tom Travis and Mark, unfortunately I never saw them live :(
This is Blink 182's best song, Tom's vocals in this are absolutely fantastic, the transition between calm and chaos are spectacular, I love Mark's bass coming in on the breakdown, and of course Travis has no problem displaying that he is a fucking drum god.
If u like this listen to the song by boxcar racer called (and I ) it's basically aside band of blink 182 from the early 2000s with a bunch of classics I'd also suggest to listen to a song called become what you hate by a band called midtown
Yeah tom really perfected that calm/chaotic sound by that time I think maybe that's why he really left, because he found a good sound, used it, and moved on...
tom always wrote the best blink songs, he was always my fave of the bunch fuck what everyone else thinks when i saw & heard this video for the first time after they broke up it was like my childhood was over
I think Mark and Tom made an awesome duo when we talk about lyrics. I just hear AvA or +44 and even though I think they're cool, they'll never reach the same level of what both of them could achieve
To the guy saying travis wrote this song, I'm pretty sure I remember the video of Tom on there website trying to write this song way yy before it actually came out. I was in high school at that point, and I'm 29 now so do the math lol I feel old all of a sudden. This and having to do a 3 month aeronautics course for work at the Aviation college in Montreal, are all off a sudden making me feel dated lol.Its weird turning into the old guy at the party overnight lol
+Matteo Iommi Yeah, nostalgia has become my best friend these days. The first ever album that I purchased myself, was a Blink-182 one. Back in the good, ol' '90s. I think a lot of us had the privilege of growing up with some sort of guidance or comfort from their music, something to relate to, and simply enjoy, at any given day, no matter the mood you're in. They'll always be remembered and appreciated by their fans, even after they're gone. (:
I wish I was a teenager when Blink were this famous. I envy all of you who got to experience such a great time for the music industry. I feel nostalgic for a time I've never lived but it gives me the chills just by watching this video. I imagine how life was like back then when this song came out, I guess it made everyone feel invincible and thankful for this music. I know this because my heart skips a beat every time I listen to their old songs and they make me feel ALIVE as if I will never be this young and carefree again. I got to see them live with the original formation in 2012. Man, that was 7 years ago and I was 15. My first real concert. I'm so glad I got to see my idols, it's something that I will forever cherish!
My first Blink show was also in 2012, I was 16. I´m so glad that I had the chance to see them two times (2012 and 2014) with Tom. Gosh, I love this guy. in 2017 I was at two shows in one week - also cool, Matt Skiba is doing a great job. But it´s not Tom. Tom will always bee my favorite.
As someone who listen to them since I was 14 I can tell you yeah, those were awesome years. I'm 35 now and still love them. You were lucky that you saw them live I missed that chance. I'm glad that at least Angela and Airwaves exists.
That's awesome dude! Not to burst your bubble or anything, but Travis Barkers first album was actually Enema of the State. I can never remember the first drummers name, but Travis definitely belongs. He may as well be an original member. Lol
This arguably blinks best song that no one knows of This is the very essence of blink-182....this song is everything and touches all the nerves of my youth for me. Forever grateful to be alive during this time and to have this music to bring back the nostalgia for how far we’ve come as individuals....
Was the same until I started listening to New Found Glory and going to their shows, they took it to a whole another level. Blink still holds a place in my heart but New Found Glory bringing me up stage to sing with them beats any band for me anyday
Blink 182 has never come to Latin America. Now I'll never get a chance to see them live. They have such a big and passionate fanbase in Brazil, it's crazy. I can only hope that someday I have a chance to hug mark and tell him how much they have done for me, for us. Sorry for my bad English btw.
Sthefany Torres I've managed to see them twice since they came back in '09. I'm glad I did, but Tom sucks really, really bad at playing (and especially singing) the Blink songs now. He clearly doesn't give a shit any more. I get the feeling that if you didn't see them in 2005 or before, you never saw the Blink that we all know and love. It's what I call the Bob Dylan dynamic.
imperial guard A: Tom sucks, and has done since 2005 (noisey.vice.com/blog/the-life-and-times-of-tom-delonge-the-man-who-confessed-his-sexual-feelings-toward-a-dog). Have you even seen Blink live? Are you 13 by any chance? B: Go fuck yourself, you idiot child.
Sthefany Torres I know this feeling. Blink-182 is my favorite band, n they just broke my heart over n over... Never came to Brazil, the hiatus, then THIS Tom (I really dont know this guy, the voice n the passion; all gone...) and the kick in his ass now. I miss the 90s n 00s. =/
This is the farewell song before tom left and changed up his style again. it's not a bad thing but this was a culmination of all that blink had accomplished up to that point and all the techniques they used. We hear the space intro which is the showing of a modern blink. We have the catchy riff, a blink staple. The drums of someone who is ready to kill the drums, and the sound of drums that is pounding away at a fast pace, and a bass that is adding a resonance. It truly felt that this was the final goodbye of the true blink we knew. Yeah, Neighborhoods was a good album, but we all know that it was going to be divided amongst the fans. Something that didn't feel truly connected. It felt that the strings were all connected, but they were loose and tangled up. We had a blink sound that sounded familiar, which turned into a completely different sound. I think of their new sound in the form of this question. How far can red be considered red until it turns orange? We listen to Buddha, we think oh yeah that's some skate punk right there. We hear Cheshire cat we think, wow they really put some more passion into this one, and definitely more structure on each sound. we hear dude ranch and we hear skate punk that has been refined to a perfect art piece but we can still hear that it's skate punk with a bit more poppy feel to it. We listen to Enema of the State, and we hear something different, with keyboards and more resonance, but take that away and you get something that is familiar still. We hear Take off Your Pants and Jacket and we hear more catchy riffs, powerful drum tracks, and heavier topics added. It is still evolving but there is still a hint of a punk band in there. We come to Self Titled and we hear heavy deep topics and tones with the riffs taking a different feeling. Not to get you pumped up, but to help you realize the reality around you as you grow up. Then this song, something which is meant to do both. Get you pumped up but worry about reality and growing up and dealing with things bigger than you. The last ounce of the teenager in you. Blink has always been aging but trying to hold on as long as possible to their youth. When Neighborhoods, California, and NINE came out. I've realized that blink is now a grown-up still trying to have that bit of youth back. It's all about the heavy topics and no longer about the dumb shit days where everything is gonna be fine.
I listened to this song for the very first time when I was 12/13 years old. Now I'm 26 and I just can't get enough. Probably I'll still listen to it when I'm 59/60 or even 70. :) Blk182.
Come here, please hold my hand for now Help me, I'm scared please show me how to fight this, God has a master plan And I guess I am in his demand Please save me this time I cannot run And I'll see you when this is done And now I have come to realize That you are the one who's left behind Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on to me I'm right here Waiting I see, a light it feels good And I'll come back soon just like you would It's useless, my name has made the list And I wish, I gave you one last kiss Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on to me I'm right here Waiting and take My one last breath, and don't forget That I will be right here Waiting [x3]
This song is so symbolic. Looks like they knew the band was coming to an end after the masterpiece the untilted album was, but did not want things to die. From my point of view, the best song they ever written, represents everything I love from this band: great drums, awesome backing vocals, catchy riff, and legendary Tom voice he lost since. Love you guys, you're a part of who I am now !
And yet if you go listen to "For Your Lungs Only" by Matt and Alkaline Trio, written years before Not Now, Tom obviously was drawing inspiration from Matt. Hell, listen to Cat Like Thief by Boxcar Racer and then You've Got So Far To Go by Trio, again written years before, and tell me they weren't an influence.

I'm really disappointed to hear mark and travis kicked tom out of the band. They should just redo plus 44 instead of trying to continue with blink with someone else~
Mark and Travis didn't kick Tom out of the band. At the moment he's just been replaced for the upcoming music festival or whatever. That change isn't permanent. At least, not that we know of and Tom said he never quit Blink. Hopefully these guys will resolve the situation, make amends, and make the new album that they've been planning for 4 years.
Ahvi303 They did kick him out, indefinitely, however, i do they think will let him back in. They're +44 without Tom, and they know the type of person tom is (they said he is doing the same things he was doing before the band disbanded) but this time Tom doesn't seem mad at them, so I think he will make amends, hopefully at least.
Almar Winfield I've read everything having to do with this situation and nowhere did it say that Mark and Travis kicked Tom out. What was said was that Tom is more or less separated from the band indefinitely on his own accord.
Ahvi303 I'm basing it off of what Tom said in his Facebook post versus what they said 'officially' Tom denies those emails, and said he was 'kicked out' stating the interview was the 'first he heard about it'. It's still all he said/he said. I don't think Tom would have gone on the defensive if he wasn't taken by surprise by it all, i think he would have quietly drifted away for the short future like last time if he was the one who was 'out'
alex wilson I stick around for Mark and Travis. Matt is cool and all but I don't care. I'm watching Tom like a hawk though, waiting on him to release some AVA. If I can't get Tom in blink then I still want music from him because he's a great musician
Come here, please hold my hand, Lord, now Help me, I'm scared please show me how to fight this God has a master plan And I guess I am in his demand Please save me this time I cannot run And I'll see you when this is done And now I have come to realize That you are the one who's left behind Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on to me I'm right here Waiting I see, a light it feels good And I'll come back soon just like you would It's useless, my name has made the list And I wish, I gave you one last kiss Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on to me I'm right here Waiting and take My one last breath, and don't forget That I will be right here Waiting Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on to me I'm right here Waiting and take My one last breath, and don't forget That I will be right here Waiting Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on to me I'm right here Waiting and take My one last breath, and don't forget That I will be right here Waiting Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on to me I'm right here Waiting and take My one last breath, and don't forget That I will be right here Waiting
I mean kinda, a lot of people in my town either don’t know them or just don’t like blink or punk rock at all and just only like rap more, every one always tell me to listen to “better music” but I just ignore them since this is the music I like, but not everyone in my town is like that, I know a few people that also like blink and punk rock
Come here, please hold my hand for now Help me, I'm scared please show me how to fight this, God has a master plan and I guess I am in His demand Please save me, this time I cannot run And I'll see you when this is done And now I have come to realize That you are the one who's left behind Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on To me I'm right here waiting I see, a light it feels good And I'll come back soon just like you would It's useless, my name has made the list And I wish, I gave you one last kiss Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on To me I'm right here waiting And take my one last breath, And don't forget That I will be right here waiting Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on To me I'm right here waiting And take my one last breath, And don't forget That I will be right here waiting Please stay until I'm gone I'm here hold on To me I'm right here waiting And take my one last breath, And don't forget That I will be right here waiting
My dog just passed away today, and I've been listening to this song on repeat. He was my best friend for 10 years, and I know I'll see him again someday
Not to sound like I'm insane, but last night I felt like my 2 dogs that passed away visited me when I was meditating. Broke down crying immediately, pretty bizarre I see this comment less than a day later. They're still alive
They are still together. Sheesh, I miss Tom and it isn't gonna be the same but he was holding the band back. I'm glad they're actually moving on and trying to record new stuff.
Esta canción fue el parteaguas más triste, y es hermoso saber que regresaron después de tantos años , Tom está de regreso que genial, espero poder asistir a su concierto lo deseo con todo el corazón, mi yo adolescente está súper feliz💕
This song always helps and hurts me. I lost my mom to cancer back in 2015 (I was 22 at the time) and this song helped me let out all of the crazy emotions I was obviously feeling. To anyone that would like to hear it, if you're feeling the pain I felt, you're not alone. Find a song that speaks to you, and play it as loud as you can and let out all of those negative emotions, it helped me immensely. Thanks Blink, you helped me through one of the hardest times of my life. 🤟
this video would be so much more meaningful if they took clips from when they first started and ended with some of their final performances/moments before the hiatus. since this song was their last song before the hiatus it would be rad.
Tom explained that this song was about a man dying. The way I see it is that it works three ways. Yes, it is about man dying (or so Tom says) it could also be about a break up, but listening to it from a perspective of "oh, blink broke up" and you pay CLOSE attention, you kind of see that with the timing and everything put into perspective from the interviews with Mark, and Tom that its Tom singing about how he was worried as to what was going to happen with blink. He was worried it was the end, because of all the arguing going on between the three (it was mostly a two-on-one battle [Mark and Travis Vs. Tom] out of fear that Tom was going to leave blink for another band) Tom later called his manager and told him to tell Mark and Travis that he was living blink to spend time with his family. Then, he created Angles and Airwaves, the band that "represents the break up of blink-182." This of course isn't true. Tom didn't quit blink FOR Angles and Airwaves, he MADE Angles and Airwaves because of his love for music. Tom later got back with blink and admitted he was in the wrong, this is proven in Wishing Well and Natives (Neighborhoods 2011 album. The very first album that blink made upon getting back together. In Natives, Tom talks about how he is still a punk and all, but he's gotten a bit more mature but he's still "a child inside". In Wishing Well, Tom explains his hardships about how he had gotten "off track" and split from blink, and how it was a mistake. "Kind of lost my way can't find it" explains him getting "off track". "Did I say it too loud, a bit hard or a little misleading?" That's Tom saying that with the fighting of blink he said some stuff he regrets now and feel that the "misleading" part is about how it made Mark and Travis think he hated them and wanted to make a new band. All in all it's still a good song, weather it be about death, a break up with a girlfriend, or the break up of blink-182.
I'm tired of people complaining about Blink changing to a more pop-oriented sound. They changed pretty drastically between Dude Ranch and Enema of the State and then shifted even further from punk with the Self-titled album. They changed to a more melodic sound as opposed to purely shock-value lyrics and loud drums. If you don't like the change that's fine but stop bitching about their sound. Tom always complains that the record labels didn't let them express themselves properly so obviously they want and like the change.
longliverocknroll5 Neighborhoods was actually alternative and it fit blink really well. California is a little too poppy though. I'll still listen to it though because it's blink

My favourite song by my favourite band. So glad to of seen these guys live before Tom left, easily the best night of my life and it was over 5 years ago

This song and especially this video reminds me of the time my parents separated. The song was released on November 28, 2005. They got separated in the beginning of 2006. I was 14, almost 15, and I remember not knowing how to cope with it. I didn't talk about it to anyone, and I only cried once, it was the day I asked my father why he was leaving. In the end, I dealt with it starting to smoke and drinking. It also made me kind of emotionally unavailable, as my response to this event was kind of closing in and protecting myself. I remember watching this video on the telly while I smoked hidden from my mother... felt like growing up and learning how to deal with things, though it really wasn't, I learnt later... I smoked up to last year. I still drink occasionally, but between 2010 to 2022 I got one step away from becoming an alcoholic, during which time I faced depression. This video makes me remember of those moments and makes me wish I could go back and teach me how to cope with things, how not to take my parent's separation personally, how not to grow myself inside a protective shell, how to accept love and affection and how understand myself, my thoughts and my feelings. And, of course, I wish I could tell me never to stop smoking or abusive drinking. Always felt like the end of Blink, this perfect epilogue of their career up to that point, was the starting point of me losing control and grasp of my life. It's soothing that Blink is back. And so am I.
