bradly is suffering from SEVERAL addictions at this time and when he is refuring to: I swim but i wish i never learned this water is too poluted with germs and
'wont somebody get me off this reef" he is saying he learned to do drugs but he wish he havn't because the drugs are killing him but he keeps comming back to the reef (his addictions) because he is weak. a remarkable song.
My favorite Sublime song by far and possibly one of my favorite songs period. It not only is tribute to a great musician but I see it as a tribute to a personal fallen friend
Happy 44th Bradley you graced the world with some rad tunes and were thankful to have those same tunes flud through our speakers all these years, love sublime, love lou dog, and love you. RIP!
Hey Reggae lovers! check out "key to my roots". it's me and my brother having fun making music. we just started composing 1 week ago so it's still new to us.enjoy!!
I think it's fucking awesome how much this guy loves his dog.. R.I.P Brad, you were a good artist, not many, if none, will be able to compare to you're sound. I bet you jesus has some kick-ass weed
Its about neither. He started using heroin after 40oz and this song was written two years before 40oz. Its most likely about his addiction to alcohol or addiction in general
After listening to this song for many months, I've finally found out that this song references Weed (reef, or reefer) and Brad's constant use of it. R.I.P.
2012 needs some new music.... I respect all the artists pushing to go big this year, I know there millions of us out here...
I play the guitar , rap, and sing. My sound is a mix of hip hop, reggae, blues, and alternative. My influences are Eminem , 2pac, bob Marely, jimi Hendrix and sublime.
My first music video has finally just been posted and THIS is the ONLY way I can reach YOU.... Please take 10 seconds, click my s/n PATofficial and check it out, THANK YOU for your views and thumbs up!!
Love this song very under rated band rip Brad, Not thinking about what could have been ,Thankful for what he gave us musically .Thumbs up for the Badfish
robbin cars at 2 am, checking inside for a flashin light makin sure theres no alarm, no interest left in life, havent been happy for years, livin life depressed to the fullest, not scared of anybody, what have i done wrong?, nothin but just tryin to enjoy my life, im not a bad person, dont go around looking for trouble, no im not black, waitin to be set homeless,
why do i listen to this song ten times in one sitting? because at some point in the song i lose track of where i am at and am somewhere else in my mind. the songs over and i press replay.
@playdoh626 Not... sure where that came from. I still love Sublime, along with a variety of other bands. Bieber not included. I grew up with this band. It'll always have a special place in my heart. I didn't mean anything negative in my other comment.
This song is truly amazing.. the beat and guitar make you feel happy and good and the lyrics leave you to belive it is a happy song but when really, you think this song is about people dancing drinkin an smokin the herb havin a good time... but SUBLIMInally its speaking about his heorin addiction... beacause bad fish is someone who introduces a person to heroin.. rest in peace brad i love you
@OSHipHopNigga Unnecessary that last part dude. On the other hand, fuck you. Rome does a good job, he ain't Bradley and ain't tryin to be like him. Just fuck off and leave the guy alone like really. Should be ashamed of yourself.
@aotevt2zerobluesrock I aint ashamed of shit. Rome does not do a good job. & i never said he was tryin to be liike bradley dumbass, i got mad respect for Eric and Bud, but if they wanted to start a new band i think they shoulda left the sublime name behind because there new stuff is nothing like the old sublime.
@ZyioScalebane im a sublime fan not a sublime with rome fan. i got mad respect for eric and bud but if they wanted to start a new band they shoulda left the sublime name behind.
everytime i hear this song a part of me cries, and a part of me smiles. sublime is amazing. my favorite band of all time. nothing could ever replace them. fuck the new bands, this is the shit.
