Blink 182 - Adam's Song

[FairyPOP]

Something that made me love this band, is that they didn't feel they needed to dress a certain way. They just made music and had fun.

[ifitmeansalottoyou00]

relaxing

[JUANito840]

epic song. mto boa a musicaa.

[rapio98]

[Alex96712964]

They have very good style specially the drammer !

[TexasBoy2114]

This song is about a a fan named Adam who wrote to Blink about suicide and Blink made this song which is telling him that it is not worth it.

[DUCK5L0V3M3]

[Rudidood]

[hebrangljubav]

hhvjjgjg i i ll lh fgkh -lldjf

[djserna9851]

That song's deep...best band ever,hands down.

[renedashit]

its weird how their song deals with depression and suicide and dj am killed himself and this song was made in 2000.... r.i.p am

[MrSw3rls]

pretty sure dj am died of a drug overdose

[SethySacrilegious]

lol, dude this song wuz made lyke 10 years ago

[notluke25]

he died of an overdose. he didnt kill himself

[treealien12]

one of my favorite songs ever <3

[Daltman16119]

blnk 182 is back and gonna kick ass....plus this is one of my favs.....

[thatsthenik]

wow ,i just looked for the meaning of the song...it's really sad

[GD1994StJimmy]

come to germany....please...I love you guys

[DrewInWashington]

This song is just so amazing. It has such a deep meaning. Like when he says "Past the time in my room alone" he means Adam doing suicide. I'm so proud they were real and didn't ignore the fact that someone wrote them a letter than took his own life. R.I.P Adam. Keep it going Blink. We all love you.

-Drew.

[envytouch1]

He didn't write the letter to blink.....

[DrewInWashington]

Uh yeah he did. A man names Adam did suicide and before he did he wrote a letter to Blink-182.

[RocKeLnino]

This song and song of Nirvana "Comes As You Are" are connected.

In song "Comes As You Are" text goes "Take your time , hurry up the choice is yours...." and here 0:28 to 0:35

[cherrybam234]

[MushroomEveAndCo]

i wish travis had kept his dreads

[deidarathekiller500]

whats this song about?

[deathwish432]

a guy (called adam) who is depressed and wants to kill himself and is having doubts...

[ibowlverywell]

The lead singer got depressed when touring, if you listen the lyrics are the tour was over we survived, and he wrote the song, i think, other people have alot of different stories

[sportsboy4ever4434]

his named is mark btw

[many3565]

blink 182 rocks!!

[BMimpact]

[apt397icon]

[BLABB3RMOUTHstudios]

this song makes me tear up, makes me think of the people ive lost to sucide

[kateyfm]

it's still hard to listen to this song. such true lyrics.

losing someone to a suicide is the hardest thing you'll ever have to deal with.

[BLABB3RMOUTHstudios]

I love Mark's socks but i dont know wat kind they are

[tiozinhofred]

Me sinto adolescente, com Adam's Song

[Kingkillla21]

"16 just held such better days" isnt that the truth

[oOResidentEvil]

this song is soo depressing but i love it :D

[JORD4NSKIPP]

people take the piss that i cry when this song comes on but the thing is ive lost 3 people in my life to suicide firstly my dad, uncle and a close friend so every word of this song means a lot to me and if you none of u have lost any1 to suicide the words come across totally different

[ScreamMrdr2]

Amen dude I totally feel you

[CrankThatPropaganda]

Not only is the song very moving, but the video is extremely powerful as well. I love how each shot shows the boy in the backgrounf, which I take to mean that while they're laughing, partying, living their lives, someone not ten feet away from them is feeling so down and out about his life that he wants out. This all seriously made me cry and more importantly, made me want to get more involved in preventing youth suicide. Nice job, Blink. <3

RIP, Adam.

[ForgottenAnthony]

"remember the time that i spilled the cup of apple juice in the hall please tell mom this is not her fault" love that part love this song so much

[sportsboy4ever4434]

same lol

[gorigazu]

yo amo blink no a mejor fan que yo

[DontBumpGlump]

this is my song. my name is adam

[marshmallowdoomsquad]

lol and my name is milk dud! xDD

[GibsonGuitarist666]

The most epic punk/alternative trio ever.

[Pyro221116]

what brand of hat is that?

[feefrygomecold]

i saw blink twice during the run of concerts, before dj am died they played this song but after it was sadly left out, no doubt because of the recent death but it sucks its my favorite song :/

[sheenydonut]

I can't wait, till i get home, to pass the time in my room alone...

[jumao1]

travis is the drummer an amazing one at that

[quainhankid14]

I'm to depressed, to go on.They'll be sorry when I'm gone.Please tell them (parents) IT IS their fault.

[quainhankid14]

This song isn't about Dj Adam.

[Screwbawls]

there was way before he died , so it wouldnt be about him, good job

[quainhankid14]

I like the drum sound.Travis does know how make a good beat.He is talented.

This their best song ever!

[00639productions]

The kid who killed himself probably didn't do it because of the song. He probably did it for early depression or emotional abuse (A not so physical abuse, but sould not be taken for granted, The pain is almost like physical abuse). However, He probably use this song for who knows why, It doesn't tell kids to have suicide, because one of the last verses of the song says "Tomorrow holds such better days"

[soccermatty777]

I dont give a fuck about that. why didnt they play this song in the concert I just went to? ? ?

[faktORfiktion]

because it would be too hard for them to play it after all of the people in Travis' life that have died recently. Be a little sensitive. I saw them on the one year anniversary of the crash and they didn't play it then, either.

[jbearclowater]

From what I heard, Travis said he knew people on the lpane who died in the crash he was in, and finds it too hard to play the song in memory of his friends.

[chilipeppers1550]

he didnt listen to this song cause blink wrote this in dedication to the kid after he killed himself

[killerseemore66]

FiaIsWaiting DJ AM was on drugs but thats not y he killed himself its because of the Columbine shooting that would fuck anyone up

[fballax]

this song has been out WAY before dj am died so he has nothing to do with this song. its what the kid underneth me said.

[soccermatty777]

Answer My question???

[1manbandKody]

the song is about a young boy who sent them and email the same one he gave to his family before killing hisself

[soccermatty777]

Is that why they didn't play it at the concert tho?

[tremac35]

i hope you know this song isnt about DJ AM rite? it has nothiung to do with him, im just sayin

[soccermatty777]

yeah i know. just wondering why they didnt play this song.. its like one of their best songs...

[soccermatty777]

I just saw them too a couple of weeks ago.. Is that why they didn't play this song???

[faktORfiktion]

this song always gives me chills.When I saw blink, it was the one year of the plane crash. they didn't play this song.

[FiaIsWaiting]

im not very R I P for DJ A.M.

he died from doing drugs... he brought his death upon himself...

[xassassinguy]

this song always makes me sad,:( R.I.P Adam.:'(

[kriptoniteXD]

RIP DJ AM

[jellybean7008]

rip dj am... or adam goldstein.. :(

[neutelier]

who the hell is adam ?

[PrettyKittyKathryn]

I love this song but it feels so eerie listening to it after I heard the story about the boy who hanged himself listening to it - yes I know the song wasn't wrote about him, obviously. Poor guy.

[atlonCOL]

R.I.P ADAM :'(

[D31s3l]

The song was already out, It was on repeat when he hung himself

[tywatson92]

No that was a kid who killed himself to it AFTERWARDS. The one I'm talking about killed himself back in Dude Ranch era. And it wasn't a childhood friend or any of that crap. I promise I'm right.

[mtf9889]

yeah u are

[D31s3l]

He had the song on repeat when he hung himself its not about him

[mtf9889]

yeah.....i got messed up it was another kid

[tremac35]

i like travis' shorts

[DodGe111594]

blink 182: tales from beneath your mom.

[xassassinguy]

3:15 picture of them NakedXD

[fadzlicool]

yeah...that kid committed suicide with this song on a replay on a nearby stereo..scary

[supwitu901]

okay so how old are they noww??

[DodGe111594]

i think marks 37?

[TOXICxxDYLAN]

sad. the kid that died....

[XxGuitarHero97xX]

Im so happpy these guys got back together :D

[gtman345]

you are an idiot

[fighisver]

tribute to DJ am...? wow dude just shut up you don't know anything...

[EmoBear251]

Blink is awesome!

I can't wait to see em' on the 27th :D

[Fuckshitmanballs]

I LOVE BLINK!!!

therre fuckin AMAZZZZING!

[AwesomeBoardPro]

u guys r all rong its about a guy who wuz eating a potatoe and chok3d lulz

[btshitzor]

lolwut?

[mdavidification]

Its not over rated its a great song but u are entitled to ur opinion sope nuthin we can do

[TimMisagal]

UnderAchiever8P is kinda right.

but only he sent the letter to Mark before he killed himself.

[DodGe111594]

actually i have book, written by mark hoppus' sister and blink collectively, about the the band and it says that it was about the depression mark was feeling out on tour. "The tour was over, i survived. I can't wait til i get home to pass the time in my room alone."

[TimMisagal]

yea he mixed alot of things in that some. the tour, the letter, and some other stuff.

[mrjohnnydeals]

thank u for getting it right...mark wrote the song and was depressed because everytime they got back from tour tom and travis's girlfriends or wives would be waiting...but mark didnt have anyone

[awesomedude98643]

in this video they look pretty much the same height

[RamiroHF]

mark is taller than tom now isnt he?

[DrumYourFaceOff1]

at 3:28 travis looks.... unusual

[coleton72]

wow blink has a bunch of serious songs like I Miss You, I'm Lost Without You, and Stay Together For The Kids

[kierstenhoyle2]

this song makes me really depressed

[LOOZR182]

This is like the only serious blink song

[shattertheearth]

That's not true at all. You clearly don't listen to their music.

[tremac35]

there are, Feeling this is one of them

[Tim95M]

this is my favorite blink song!

[AwesomeBoardPro]

it has a nirvana line cuz theyre friend that commited suicide loved that song from nirvana

[homonovus6]

this song remembers me Simona, loved her to distraction. Still think of her...

bye honey.

[n00bystuff]

that would be sick if danny joined blink but i dont think they would suite him as much travis is good for blink

[SniperBuddies]

➥travis is a sick drummer!⏎

[kicknbazz1615]

Theres a Nirvana line in this song

[SolidShroom]

Yeah, I'm guessing they tied it in with the whole "suicide" theme in the song.

[Ilikejohnosbourne]

...its "I took my time, I hurried up; The choice was mine i didnt think enough"....right? I read about that somewhere....

[kicknbazz1615]

Yup that's it, but in Nirvana come as you are, it goes "Take your time hurry up the chocie is yours dont be late" but you can see Blink sorta copied it =)

[Ilikejohnosbourne]

haha thats it thanks man...BLINK KICKS ASS!!!!!

[WildWest1122]

blink didnt copy it, mark wrote it as like a tribute...so its not copying, its more complimenting the original lyrics lmao...he does it in the rock show too, with lyrics from livin on a prayer

[kicknbazz1615]

Well i didnt mean it as a bad thing lol

[funnyJvideos]

i took my time, hurry up. . .

nirvanas song "come as u r" says "take ur time, hurry up"

[spaghettica]

i couldn't wait till i got home. to pass the time in my room alone ♥

[Marki4231]

this song is about some 17 year old that hanged himself in his parent's garage. Don't commit suicide or else you might miss all there is to live for.You live life to the fullest until you reach the age where God takes your soul until the day Jesus comes.I hope you guys understand that suicide isn't gonna end it all.Oh and I'm young by the way.

[CrackKillerPro]

yup. hes right. i just watched a documentary, AND saw it on wikipedia. good call dude.

[RJimenez22]

It was once thought that the website Adam's Letter featured the inspiration behind the song, though this was later revealed as a fictitious story, and any "resemblance between the characters, places, and events to any real people is purely coincidental."

The song caused a stir in 2000 when it was set to replay indefinitely on a nearby stereo as 17-year-old Greg Barnes, a survivor of the Columbine High School massacre, hanged himself in the garage of his family's home.

[IrishTeen454]

how are they coincidental ??? and what if your wrong jakelman?

[Benboy51917]

the song's about some kid named Adam who e-mailed the band right before he killed himself. They decided to write a song about it. For the dude who wants to kill himself, don't do it. Not because it's morally wrong or whatever (though it kinda is) but because it just shows how much of a pussy you are.

[Jakelman14]

actually that is false, the band had an interview about, the website, Adam's Letter, has nothing to do with the song and all names and stories are completely coincidental

[rawritsjoselin]

alright i dont understandd this.

so wait who died? or who didnt die? cause i've heard many things and i want the straight out truth, could someone emssage me?

[aroox7]

Ok pretty much there was this website called adams letter.And he aparently committed suicude while,listening to blink 182. Then this song came out and when asked about Blink denied writing the song about him especialy after the website was proved to have been fake.

[UnderAchiever8P]

nope

this song was written because mark was reading a magazine or something and it had an article about a kid that killed himself and wrote his parents a letter. So this song is about the the sucide/letter

[D31s3l]

This song was already out, he had this song on repeat when he hung himself. So there is no way that this song is about him. They have every right to say its not about him because its not. God you people need to get things right.

[xBRaNdOn82097X]

didnt adam pass away?

[Cocobunny911]

I want them to play this song at my funeral. I'm commiting suicide on May 22. I don't care if anyone calls me an attention whore, and no one can talk me out of it. I'll be homeless in September, and I really do want someone to tell my parents I love them and forgive them, and I hope them can forgive me. I was thinking about going columbine, but I can't kill someone else. It's wronge, and I'm to weak to kill someone else. And I',m better than that.

[SuperEpicHappyGman]

Can I have your stuff?

[Cocobunny911]

I would, but people have already called dibs. Plus, I really don't have much. I'm going to be homeless on September 31. 18 and homeless. One of the youngest homeless people out there... But yeah, you can have the shirt on my back. That'll be one quarter of what I'll have.

[Nivekrst]

I almost did it when I was 18. I'm now 46. If I'd done it then, I'd have never started a band, party my ass off, gotten older, better, met an amazing woman, had an awesome kid, and never would have heard Blink, or read your post.

[redsoxfan1224]

dont kill yourself

[GotTimeToooKill]

MAY 22 IS MY BIRTHDAY HAHAHAHAHAHA

[maxxee13]

best blink song in my books

[sunofmetal666]

dude like this song makes me so sad im guna cry when they play this live in september

[FatalicDemon]

Man i tell ya this song... hits me deep and it really makes me think about how we taker others lifes for granted, and our own

[ashlii93]

everything thats behind this song is sad. just quietly, its not about fucking hipopoyamus' and sombreros.

[kevmac858]

sombrero is amazing though. i love that resturant. but ya this song is when blink got away from the quick bass/drums and got more into the seriousness in writing music

[Chuttbeeks]

this song is about hipoptumus's fisting eachother whil wearing sombreros.
