"the only time I feel alive is when I find something I would die for" this line hits hard especially when you don't understand yourself and feeling empty most of the time. kinda dead inside
So this week, they announced that Tom was returning again. It was inevitable, really. But I really wish that Matt could've stayed. The second disc of this album is honestly one of the best Blink albums in my opinion. So much darker and serious, and very Alkaline Trio. Last Train Home, 6/8, Long Lost Feeling - ALL bangers! Matt's vocals and songwriting need to be acknowledged. He saved the day while Tom was being a baby. Glad to see the main three back together still.
I meant dark from the original California album. Which is something new. Which means they're closer to the old Blink. Sorry for the misunderstanding! =D
I think the label went on a rush with the release of it. Otherwise it could have been the greatest Blink album to date, if you think of the best songs in both versions.
1. Cynical 2. She's Out of Her Mind 4. Left Alone 5.Rabbit Hole 6. Misery 7. Misery 8. Good Old Days 9. Hey I'm Sorry 10. Last Train Home 11. Wildlife If that was released as California, it would've been my second favourite blink album (after Untitled)
Daniel 6. Should be don't mean anything or bottom of the ocean since you have misery 2 times and add in a bonus track maybe bored to death or San Diego
"HOME is such a lonely place without you" - Home is such a lonely place without you "I'm not coming HOME" -Bored To Death "Please take me HOME" - Please take me home "I'm never coming HOME"- Los Angeles "and its a long way back to the middle of the road, fighting my way back HOME" - Don't mean anything "I'll take the last train HOME" -Last Train home "the underdogs came HOME" -Wildfire "we'll stagger HOME after midnight" -After Midnight "cause this is HOME" -This Is Home "will you come HOME and stop this pain tonight" - I Miss You "I wont be HOME for christmas" - i wont be home for christmas "late night come HOME , work sucks i know" -All The Small Things
I feel like they really let Skiba take the wheel with the lyrics on this one. it's alot darker and exactly what I was hoping for on the California Album haha
yep! lol tbh I ended up finding about 16 tracks that I actually like and put them into a playlist and in a way kind of created the perfect California Album xD
Daniel It has an Alk3 vibe which I think is awesome, but Mark has a verse which makes it highly likely that he wrote those lyrics. The chorus also gives me a bit of a pop rock vibe, and the bridge sounds like something Mark would write so I feel like Matt wrote the song and then Mark and John messed around with it.
You know what. I think Matt has earned his place in the band. I still want Tom back, and I would totally be cool with them all in the band. Tom, Matt, Mark and Travis. Turn it from a dynamic trio to a dynamic quartet, and bring back rock and make it be back on the radios again.
RU71KL0L5 Yeah after the DLX album Matt definitely earned his place in blink. If Tom returns, I'd be very happy obviously but if Matt gets taken out I'll riot. Having 3 vocalists would be kind've cool tbh. Plus that way Tom and Matt could play lead and rhythm guitar
If Tom comes back I think that would allow Matt to go back and work with Alkaline Trio more efficiently, which would be nice because I'd love another album from them. One album with Tom and Matt both on it would be sick though.
I've been trying to listen to every song off the Deluxe album since I got it today... but I keep just coming back to this one, instead. Definitely my favorite.
Blink 182 is back and better than ever. love them so much, been a listener since childhood. this band has been with me as I have went through the awkward steps of adolesence, and now they are still here as I find myself in my 20's.
Be it Tom or Matt I'm only happy blink is still making music, I'm fully on board with the entirety of the album, especially the deluxe tracks. Can't wait for more
I got excited, thought this was a cover of lost prophets (apparently you're not allowed to enjoy lost prophets anymore) and then listened to the song and got excited again because its awesome.
I love this. Guys I tell you everyone's making fun out of this, being like 'uh it's so dark' and what not. BUT in the end within the next 10 years and/or more, this will be one of the songs that'll be remembered. This is what makes people so grateful for your music. Just like Adam's song... Same thing.
This blink song reminds me of Alkaline Trio. You can tell Matt wrote this song. I’ve always loved both bands. I have an Alkaline Trio tattoo, nothing for blink and I’d say Blink is my favourite band. Matt is one of my favourite song writers so it’s amazing to me how this worked out 😻
Okay... 2:02 (only space rock sounding part on the album) then goes into "Life's so strange, T(om)ime won't change" I'm calling shots fired... and I LOVE it. If you think Neighborhoods is better than this album, you're a peasant.
Patrick Burke Oh my god, it sounds like it now that you brought it up, holy shit. Maybe they're trying to send that message out there. To be honest though, I wouldn't be mad if tom didn't come back. Blink definitely sounds better with Skiba instead. I prefer him over tom, lyrically and rhythmically. Although it'd be nice if Mark, Matt, Travis, and Tom did a single with all together. It would be great. Just title it, "The Reunion and The Breakup."
The first part gives me the most amazing Alkaline Trio vibes and feels like it's straight off of Crimson but the chorus and the second verse give me more of a mainstream alt rock vibe.
This song is criminally underrated. It should be blasted across y’all’s social media’s, because it’s absolutely fantastic.
KitCat898 110% agree
Agree this song is my second favorite blink 182 song
I’ve been doing it since day one..And, still doing it 5-6yrs later..
Thank you Matt for leaving this masterpiece for us!
"The only time I feel alive is when I find something I would die for"
"I want something good to die for, to make it beautiful to live" Go with the flow
I love this line so much
There is no sound on earth that speaks more to my soul than the sound of the voice of Mark Hoppus.
👍👍👍
"the only time I feel alive is when I find something I would die for"
this line hits hard especially when you don't understand yourself and feeling empty most of the time. kinda dead inside
I was thinking the same thing.
We will always rise from the ashes my friend. "We are the walking dead", as Matt said. Whish u the best
So this week, they announced that Tom was returning again. It was inevitable, really. But I really wish that Matt could've stayed. The second disc of this album is honestly one of the best Blink albums in my opinion. So much darker and serious, and very Alkaline Trio. Last Train Home, 6/8, Long Lost Feeling - ALL bangers! Matt's vocals and songwriting need to be acknowledged. He saved the day while Tom was being a baby. Glad to see the main three back together still.
I totally agree.
Agree!!!!
Blink going dark. Something new. Loving it.
Zane Rockstar you obviously don't listen to blink
I meant dark from the original California album. Which is something new. Which means they're closer to the old Blink. Sorry for the misunderstanding! =D
This couldn't be any further away from "old blink".
Tijs Bulmer I think his is referring to the "self-titled" 2004ish era, with that album being more mature and little darker than the previous ones
Neighborhoods was the darkest album though. Darker than Untitled. DED actually was lighter than Neighborhoods surprisingly
"The only time i feel alive is when i find something i would die for" Love that lyric
The Deluxe Edition is what the main Album should have been. These songs are so much better in my opinion.
I think the label went on a rush with the release of it. Otherwise it could have been the greatest Blink album to date, if you think of the best songs in both versions.
I agree, if you take the best 10 songs from both versions it would definitely be up there with the best blink-182 albums.
JustBlinkMe1 I think they played safe with California just to see how it gets received by people. And the deluxe songs were actually the real thing.
1. Cynical 2. She's Out of Her Mind 4. Left Alone 5.Rabbit Hole 6. Misery 7. Misery 8. Good Old Days 9. Hey I'm Sorry 10. Last Train Home 11. Wildlife
If that was released as California, it would've been my second favourite blink album (after Untitled)
Daniel 6. Should be don't mean anything or bottom of the ocean since you have misery 2 times and add in a bonus track maybe bored to death or San Diego
this is one of the best songs ever associated with blink
"HOME is such a lonely place without you" - Home is such a lonely place without you
"I'm not coming HOME" -Bored To Death
"Please take me HOME" - Please take me home
"I'm never coming HOME"- Los Angeles
"and its a long way back to the middle of the road, fighting my way back HOME" - Don't mean anything
"I'll take the last train HOME" -Last Train home
"the underdogs came HOME" -Wildfire
"we'll stagger HOME after midnight" -After Midnight
"cause this is HOME" -This Is Home
"will you come HOME and stop this pain tonight" - I Miss You
"I wont be HOME for christmas" - i wont be home for christmas
"late night come HOME , work sucks i know" -All The Small Things
It's a conspiracy
"Yeah, my girlfriend takes me HOME when I'm too drunk to drive" - Josie
I feel like they really let Skiba take the wheel with the lyrics on this one. it's alot darker and exactly what I was hoping for on the California Album haha
boxcarblinkangel226 He took the wheel on Parking Lot too
yep! lol tbh I ended up finding about 16 tracks that I actually like and put them into a playlist and in a way kind of created the perfect California Album xD
it's good stuff but too different from blink's prime
This song is all Matt. Bleeds AK3
Daniel It has an Alk3 vibe which I think is awesome, but Mark has a verse which makes it highly likely that he wrote those lyrics. The chorus also gives me a bit of a pop rock vibe, and the bridge sounds like something Mark would write so I feel like Matt wrote the song and then Mark and John messed around with it.
I literally love every single song of this album 😍😢
Why
@@DV-zv4ox Why not?
I also!!!!
You know what. I think Matt has earned his place in the band. I still want Tom back, and I would totally be cool with them all in the band. Tom, Matt, Mark and Travis. Turn it from a dynamic trio to a dynamic quartet, and bring back rock and make it be back on the radios again.
RU71KL0L5 well once aliens return tom I'm sure this will happen. There's no way you can just ask Matt to leave after he's done this.....
RU71KL0L5 Yeah after the DLX album Matt definitely earned his place in blink. If Tom returns, I'd be very happy obviously but if Matt gets taken out I'll riot. Having 3 vocalists would be kind've cool tbh. Plus that way Tom and Matt could play lead and rhythm guitar
Never Too Steep if Tom has any sense left, he'll come back to his friends and his roots that lie within Blink. I could count on it.
Noah R I like that idea very much actually! That'd be very cool!
If Tom comes back I think that would allow Matt to go back and work with Alkaline Trio more efficiently, which would be nice because I'd love another album from them.
One album with Tom and Matt both on it would be sick though.
Blink 182 you will forever be the best band to me as you gave me hope to live
I want another deluxe album for this deluxe album
I've been trying to listen to every song off the Deluxe album since I got it today... but I keep just coming back to this one, instead. Definitely my favorite.
Me too!
Kaptain Krill couldn't agree more bruh
Same here!
Kaptain MAKE AN UNBOXING VIDEO PLEASE!!
my favorite off the deluxe edition
Danilo Guarniero mine too so far
Guitar sound so good
This is what Blink with Skiba should sound like.
Noah Dekel then I guess it's good that this is Blink with Skiba,and this is what it sounds like
Easily the best song on the deluxe. Best lyrics by a long shot (thanks, Skiba).
blink forever 😀
Ayush rana I can't like this cause then it would be +45 😂
Lucy Ge what's Blink 182 +44?
SlenderNugget this is probably irony haha sorry if I don't get it but I related to Mark and Travis' band called +44
Lucy Ge I know that's why I made the joke lol
SlenderNugget I'm sorry, I feel stupid now 😂
I cry my eyes listening this and those songsss...Thank You Blink182 for this gift!
The darkest Blink song in my opinion, and I lovvve it!
Tarik7775 try Adam's Song
Try Stay Together For The Kids
try family reunion
This has some signature Skiba sound to it, Awesome!
Matts signature deep voice and rasp needs to be included more. its so goood
Blink 182 is back and better than ever. love them so much, been a listener since childhood. this band has been with me as I have went through the awkward steps of adolesence, and now they are still here as I find myself in my 20's.
"The only time I feel alive is when I find something I would die for" Love that lyric!
i love when we all click the notif so fast jahaahah feels like a family i will never know.
hahaha true
Jay Marrero yep we're all having a family reunion ;););)
Cringey Videos yeaaaaaaah hahahahaha well said!!!
ชอบมากกกกๆเลยยย
ILL TAKE THE LAST TRAIN HOME 😊
2:01 this is my FAVORITE bridge that blink 182 has done😌.
Happiness is a sudden burst of emotion and that's what this song gives me
All this new music is just beautiful.
This song was everything I wanted from blink with Skiba!
The begining of the song is awesome. Should had made more songs with Skiba's deep voice.
My favorite so far
my new favorite blink song. the only time I feel alive is when I find something that I would die for.
Wow verses are awesome and the little riff... best song of the album
I'm so happy this song exists!
This breathes alkaline trio from every angle. And it's my favorite one. Such a deep song.
Marks verse is too 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'd like to see this one played live!
Absolutely LOVE this track. If blink need a direction for their next album, start here please...
this album just went from "California Deluxe (with Matt Skiba)" to "California Deluxe"
as long as mark is around. blink will make great music. if u dont like blink go pound sand.
so many of my favorites released great music today. blink-182, tigers jaw, tricot, wavves, the mountain goats. i feel so blessed.
Blink 182 é vida!!! I'm brazilian and i love Blink!
I jst love this band
Be it Tom or Matt I'm only happy blink is still making music, I'm fully on board with the entirety of the album, especially the deluxe tracks. Can't wait for more
But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love
Many of the deluxe songs should've been on the original edition of California. Well done blink
Fav part are the cool effects they put on the drums at 1:03! So reminiscent of Feeling This and Bored to Death intro! Just a catchy sone overall. : )
When Blink 182 meets Alkaline Tio, eargasm
Blinkaline Trio 182
+44
Not really what I hear with this song.
Good question... We lost Alkaline Trio and we miss them....
Hopefully it going to meet ava & box car racer to
Yessss new lp and blink in one day
Deluxe edition is probably as good as California. Love what this guys are doing
I love how Travis and Matt made that train sound on the second chorus @ 1:30. Genius.
goosebumps all over
I got excited, thought this was a cover of lost prophets (apparently you're not allowed to enjoy lost prophets anymore) and then listened to the song and got excited again because its awesome.
Those first couple lines get me every time
so easy listening yet so meaningful
best album of the year so far
nothing will ever be old blink for me but these delux songs are SO much better than original California. Love them!!!
this mite be my favorite song on the album. this has that dark alkaline trio feel
The best song!!!!!!
Yep. Buying this album today!
best stuff so far. good old days, and don't mean anything can't compare to this.
this new material is dope af
I love this. Guys I tell you everyone's making fun out of this, being like 'uh it's so dark' and what not. BUT in the end within the next 10 years and/or more, this will be one of the songs that'll be remembered. This is what makes people so grateful for your music. Just like Adam's song... Same thing.

My new fave blink song since 2003
Just to clarify, I like all their songs though :P
SonalDJ182 You took my icon.
We'll never know who was first :P
SonalDJ182 what was the previous fav song then?
Kept switching between Reckless Abandon, Stockholm Syndrome and Pretty Little Girl O: Whoops, that's 2012
Is Mark finally coming home?
Eva Hoppus Pennac hahah
Eva Hoppus Pennac probably lmfao😂
you mean tom? lol
Tom treats home (blink) like a hotel
He will come, but don't tell him it's too late because he's stucked at heavens gate.
This has got to be the best song on the DLX version.
As a blink fan since 97 I approve of this matt throws a dark spin on it akin to self titled just brilliant break downs are just unreal long live blink
Life so strange, time wont change!! Blink 182 still same just moar awesome.
My brada matt killed it, one verse to rule them all. Tom is😱
the best part and chillin from this song is at 2:01 - 2:32.. COOL PART!
best song of the Cali era. unfortunately there aren't more songs like this that aren't formula
I've been looping this for hours 😊
I love this song
ohh I like this alott.... this def has to be more from Matt who wrote these lyrics
Mark's voice sounds fucking good in this deluxe album
great voice MATT!!!
I sincerely hope this is the last train home from this relationship
so, now?
Best song of the album
this song is so g o o d
Probs my favorite off the deluxe album. Amazing song
I didnt think it was possible that I could like a new blink song as much as their old songs. I'm glad I was wrong
Am I the only one who feels Mark voice is like a hug? Especially in darker songs.
Best song of California Deluxe
Okay... 2:02 (only space rock sounding part on the album) then goes into
"Life's so strange,
T(om)ime won't change"
I'm calling shots fired... and I LOVE it.
If you think Neighborhoods is better than this album, you're a peasant.
Patrick Burke Oh my god, it sounds like it now that you brought it up, holy shit. Maybe they're trying to send that message out there. To be honest though, I wouldn't be mad if tom didn't come back. Blink definitely sounds better with Skiba instead. I prefer him over tom, lyrically and rhythmically. Although it'd be nice if Mark, Matt, Travis, and Tom did a single with all together. It would be great. Just title it, "The Reunion and The Breakup."
I really love this song, we'll I just love all the California( deluxe) album
So cool of the sound!!!😮😮😮
this, Misery and 6/8 are definitely my fav
The first part gives me the most amazing Alkaline Trio vibes and feels like it's straight off of Crimson but the chorus and the second verse give me more of a mainstream alt rock vibe.
Once upon a time I used to think any song Mark Hoppus put out would not suck, however Matt sings in every new Blink song with Mark.
Feel good song.
and yea Skiba finally shines on these songs
This song is gonna be on replay for at least a year
my new fav song!!
THANK YOU
getting better
