Honestly I am obsessed with Tom and I was heartbroken when he left blink. But now hearing his solo and AVA work I am so amazed at his songs.. They feel like a more mature Tom, I'm in love with this song
***** that guitar to Tom is like a love( memorie) , possible he broke up the guitar on some stage live of blink-182 (i think is kind of flashback) sorry my english, not the better time to write.
***** dude lol get a fucking life,i see you comment negative shit on EVERY tom delonge video,get some sun jesus i feel sorry for people like you..kinda
The songs about Tom Delonges older brother who was in the special forces and fought in Iraq for years. Toms on another level nowadays with songs like this and AVA.
@@TheDeathOfLucifer It’s about soldiers going off to war away from their families but they still carry a piece of who they are and where they came from everywhere they go. Specifically about his brother who served for years.
Quick theory: what if the broken guitar that Tom carries around is a symbol for Blink and Tom's younger, punk-rock side. He carries it with him everywhere he goes, yet it's broken and can never be the same. It's broken but he still can't let it go.
This is good. I'm glad it's different too. Despite his flaws, he incessantly shows the desire to grow, expand and experiment -- and that I truly appreciate and respect.
Love this, sounds so heartfelt. Not the greatest singer, nor the greatest guitar player, but darn if he doesnt have the most passion of almost any artist these days.He genuinely has an emotion or thought that he is trying to convey through sound that he feels he can't rightly describe through any other means. Also based on this video and "A New World" video I can only assume the broken guitar is his symbolism of blink. Its a Fender strat (which I believe he played in Blink) that although is tattered and broken he will continue to carry with him as it is apart of him.....just some random youtuber thoughts.
Nah, it was just miss communication. Blink waited for Tom to finish up his Ava stuff for ages and showed loads of patience. Understandably, they got frustrated towards the end and when Toms manager started wording his emails badly saying things like "Toms out" Blink obviously got pissed and kicked him out.
And now it looks like this mistake opened up the flood gates for all the built up frustration the other members had and their relationships gone to shit.
All laid over This pain will drown out the sun Mother, I’m coming home But the war has just begun. All the boys will await the arising tide On a pier with a traveled gun, I like the adrenaline, it’s like a fucking drug Mother, I’m coming home I’ve discovered dreams that speak in tongues Mother, my mind it runs Cause the war has just begun.. Every night I can hear the approaching high In a hole, but i’d fear i’d run I got a thing for the edge of a life to come undone Mother, I’m coming home Old and tired, scarred, and bruised to the bone Mother, I’m coming home And the war has just been won. All my friends can await the big ships to arrive But I’d rather not join the fun I need a minute to maybe soak in the sight Of the town that I came from.
This is... interesting. See, growing up, in my early teens I listened to a lot of blink-182. I was learning to play the electric guitar and I can honestly say that Dude Ranch, Enema of The State, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket really helped me get used to the physical aspects of holding a guitar and playing standing up as if I were performing. I never had any fun playing guitar sitting down... as a matter of fact I never had much fun in my early teens anyway. I was living in south Florida where I had moved and didn't have a ton of friends. I used to play those songs for hours. Now there's all this talk about blink-182 being broken up and musicians replacing other musicians and who's better than who... I don't know how to feel. See, as I got older I realized that a lot of the blink material I loved was mostly written by Mark. I then started to appreciate Tom as a performer. Tom was cool as heck. Right around that 2003 Untitled period... blink-182 were the definitive pop-punk band. Nobody looked cooler, sounded as raw and catchy, nobody had a better drummer. :) So I'm sitting here listening to The Invisible Parade. I'm not as I was ten years ago... I guess Tom, Mark and Travis aren't either. That's ok. We're all trying to grow. I'm just happy Tom DeLonge is still trying new things. It means he still feels the need to express himself with music. I'm giving the music a chance... on the other hand I think they all need to treat this weird period of blink-182 with a little more respect than they have. If it's money related... I hope it gets sorted out. If it really does come down to logistics and timing then I suggest they hug it out and get back on track. Nobody is going to replace blink-182. Not even blink-182.
I really love the acoustic guitar. Its so good and gives me chill in the beginning. Tom did really good with this song. And same with the lyrics. Everything is beautiful!
What an amazing song. I wasn't even sure it was Tom at first. It's so different than his normal style. I think it's the first time I've ever heard him actually SING...and it was great and raw.
Tom is an intelligent dude, he's a jack of all trades. A great musician, a filmmaker, an author, a businessman and all around fantastic human being 💥🤘🤘💚
And of course you do that's why you are defending Tom Delonge? I'm sorry man, I love Tom and his music I really do but to use this as a reference to (in other words) "good music" is actually quite absurd.
There is no way this is autotuned. You can hear all the imperfections in his voice. It sounds different cuz his voice is hoarse and he's singing in his own range.
It is possible melodyne was used to polish it up a bit. You can make minor and sometimes even major adjustments with melodyne and it can barely be noticeable. Tom can sing in key pretty well if he really tries though. I am sure in a recording environment he does a bunch of takes just like mostly anyone else would. Who cares though as long as it sounds good.
Juan Pablo Vásquez i think i know Tom's voice well enough to say that it's edited. he doesn't sound like that in live and never sounded like that before.
Idk if blink wants him back at any point (which they obviously don't now) but I think that tom delonge was my favorite thing from blink, so I'm extremely happy to see tom is writing music ,no matter what it is, I like tom and his style. This song hits me hard so its easy to listen to because it's not just "another song". I hope there's others can feel this way
This song perfectly captures the image of a group of soldiers returning to a military base as the sun rises. No warm welcomes or anything, but that’s what is beautiful about the song, it captures the image perfectly
You see, Tom already had contracts signed for these records. Some of which were from before blink got back together. That being said the "To The Stars" record is kind of a revenge record or a service to the fans who wanted a new blink record with Tom, but It's not fair to make the argument "He should be using this time with Blink" cause I think Mark and ESPECIALLY Travis want Tom out of the band so they can follow their musical tastes and not be tied down by this guy who has crazy radical ideologies. They jumped at the chance to kick him out of the band not only at the "Tom. Is. Out." miscommunication, but also so they can say "we got rid of of Tom" instead of doing it on Tom's own terms cause they fear he'd leave anyways.
Ahhh, it's beautiful. I know your voice like the back of my hand; sounds like you had a cold when you recorded this. You work too hard, Tom. Another awesome song. Well done!
Esta canción es triste pero linda. Tom eres mi idolo!. El mejor de todos por siempre! Eres magico. Sorprendente!maravilloso! Quiero que tengas vida eterna Para deleitarme de tu música 😉😉😉😉
The most beautiful song, Tom had ever sung after leaving Blink-182 behind. This connection means something. Mark: "I'm not coming home" or “I'm never coming home”. Tom: "Mother, I'm coming home".
This was suppposed to be a blink-song. Seriously, mixing Tom's songwriting-abilities and serious songs with Marks amazing ability to write catchy songs and hooks (you gotta admit the songs on California are catchy af) would be freaking amazing, that's what made previous albums so great.
yeah all popular songs are catchy, doesnt mean theyre good by any means. five seconds of summer is catchy but theyre not good. the producer that helped write every single song ( says it in the album art) has never worked with anyone but pop bands like one direction and five seconds of summer. so thats why their sound is so damn poppy and catchy
Gracias, muchas gracias tom, siempre sorprendiendo y demostrando que te podes levantar de cualquier problema, genio, espero tener 60, 70 años y decir, mierda, que lindo fue presenciarte, ídolo.
Imagine if in the 90's the Chicago Bulls replaced Michael Jordan with another athlete? The Bulls would have been complete shit. BLINK 182 without TOM DeLonge is complete shit. #BRINGBACKTOM
Thefreakman8 I have nothing against Matt Skiba man. I think he is really talented and his band Alkaline Trio is really good. To me though, Tom is the heart and soul of Blink 182. Matt replacing him just doesn't fit. It sound more like a cover band than Blink 182. And if you follow Tom on various social media outlets, you can see that he really made an effort to rejoin the band, but mark and travis are ignoring him.
Seguramente todos los videos de este album de solista seran con la guitarra rota y Tom caminando desolado... Significara algo con respecto a la situacion actual de el? ... :'( M dan ganas de llorar pensar que el se siente asi ahora. Podemos imaginar eso solo un momento? olvidando sus pensamientos del dinero y fans? Seria un increible mensaje no?
oye q interesante punto de vista... la verdad no se porque diablos dejo las cosas pendientes con blink-182 y la verdad cometio un error grande y EL lo sabe... si yo estuviera en la posicion de mark igual me pondria molesto por ver lo mucho q se retrasaba la grabacion del album, llega el tiempo donde o EQUILIBRAS el tiempo o das todo tu tiempo a una cosa. Tom no supo acerlo.
Tom esta actuando de la misma manera que john frusciante... Se alejó de red hoy chili peppers porque estaban muy famosos y era algo muy comercial.. Así que se salio para hacer canciones como solista solo por hacer el arte de la musica sin importarle que sean sus canciones conocidas solo con el fin de hacer lo que a el mas le gustaba.. Canciones por amor al arte de la musica..!! Porque según eso también lo dijo tom.. Que a blink solo le importa el dinero.. Y ver este vídeo y el de new world.. Siempre pasa caminando solo es vdd..! Da un mensaje como que se esta alejando de todo esto que el dinero esta de por medio en la musica..!! Y como detalle extra.. En el vídeo de new world tom destruye todos los instrumentos del estudio.. Se hará referencia a que término todo con blink y es como que los destruyera...!!,no se puede ser.. Lo que se es que este álbum como solista va a estar mejor que el album con AVA... Probablemente estas dos canciones que saco tom podrían haber sido las canciones que hiba a grabar con blink quien sabe..!!
rd cho I know, i know, i was just playing with the fact that you consider me immature and Hoppus's fan. It's fun to be childish, you should try it sometimes.
rd cho Have you seriously just created two sides? If anyone should be talking about "maturity" then its not you. You're essentially making a "Team Tom" and "Hoppus" fan club. Blink as a whole were in it for the shits and giggles. I love them both anyway obviously along with Travis, none of us really got the full story to what happened.. its childish to pick a side and talk crap about the other. I would call that "Immature".
rd cho So, i never talked about Mark until you brought him, and never threw a rock at Delonge. Are you having a hard time, buddy? Do you need a little l ) ve in your life? Take it easy.
Yeah, you "weren't talking about me" but you're leaving all your inner shit as a reply to my comment. Makes perfect sense. Maybe you know nothing about kids these days.
I cried when I heard this song was about Tom's brother returning from Iraq. the chord progression, all of it, fit such an emotional mood. a wonderful song and a great title, 'the invisible parade.' almost like it meant the world to Tom and his family for his brother to come home, but it meant nothing to anyone else.
Screw the haters man. Friends don't make friends give up everything for them. Say you and some friends had a project going on but one of them had some other stuff he wanted to do on the side. This friend was still going to work with you on your group project, but he had commitments with his other stuff he had to fulfill as well. Instead of being patient with him you and friends were like "No, fuck your other stuff man! We don't give a shit about your other commitments! It's our project only for you or you're out!" Your friend couldn't commit to such a stipulation and so you and your friends went around to everyone you knew and badmouthed him to high heavens. That's what happened to Tom. Like seriously, what kind of "friends" do that to a friend? Fuck that man. Screw new Blink. Mark and Travis stepped out of line big time. These two songs Tom has released so far have both been great. Yeah, they could have been good with all of Blink, but not now after all that's happened. You've got my support all the way man.
Took the words out of my mouth man. Mark and Travis put all the blame on him with their interviews while Tom posted on his own page putting the blame on the band as a whole. His status seemed a lot more genuine and yet Mark and Travis still to this day continue to badmouth him via interviews. This song to me is testament that he wants to do blink and yet Mark and Travis are acting like the impatient jealous girlfriend who can't understand that Tom has other commitments and passions he can't just throw all away for blink.
They were patient with him. For four years, and Tom could never find the time to record with Blink. He's going to release four albums this year. He obviously had time to record. He's a douche bag. He was holding back Blink.
Gdayguy Matt He was holding blink back, but he was contracted. And he never quit. He was kicked out, and replaced. Even Travis said, 'Tom should man up and quit.' And no, he shouldn't. Because he never planned too. You're a fucking moron. Tom was blink, sorry. It's a true and sad truth. He wrote 90% of the songs. A lot of times he would go to mark and say, I want you to sing this part or what do you think of this? But Tom was like the core member of blink. People will disagree and get angry about this statement, but it's true.
Tom alone with a guitar is Waaaaaaaaaaaay much better than what Mark Travis and Matt can do together, Commercially speaking Blink got a good record out, but the new songs has nothing unique or "new" to bring to the table. Tom, my friend (if i may), you're ahead of the game, at least songwriting-wide Keep making music! : )
Do you not hear his voice? It's doctored to hell and it still sounds worse than anything he's done post 2005. This dude is going insane on drugs and all you Tombots are going to force him to think he'll be just fine, shitting out as much "art" as he possibly can as he isolates himself further and further into depression.
His voice doesn't sound that edited, you can hear him go off key. He's just singing in his own range instead of trying to sing stuff that's too high for him.
for the haters out there who says tom cant sing well hes really good at singing and I love this song I well buy it on I tunes I well all ways bee there for tom as a fan
My band released an EP recently. Tom is a huge inspiration to us and it would be amazing for some of his fans to check out our stuff, give critisisms etc. It would be a huge help to us and we'd really appreciate the feedback. Thanks!
Tom is better off without them! Dont get me wrong, blink is blink.. But hell with it, tom was its soul AND heart ! And all this awesome things hes doing now , im way more fan then back that time. Btw, And awesome family man, still married his love And care about his children.... Im glad he choose family instead of money And fame back then.... And now he have it all. Cheers tom! Im from brazil, making music, doing what makes me happy And im tottaly agree with him. On this.
yeah but check the coincidences with the way he sings the lines in rite of spring "I wouldn’t change a thing It's made me all of who I am inside" and "And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie", seriously, check it out.
