Download Adam 39;s Song Blink 182

There seems to be a lot of confusion, spam, arguing over what this song is about. It's very straight forward. The song is about a teenager who is going through depression and is contemplating suicide. It's not about suicide or overcoming it, but it touches on the thoughts that enters someone's head while contemplating suicide. I'm sure when you've contemplated suicide (and I know you have) you have thought about

The song touches on all of these thoughts, and that's why it's a powerful and memorable song; we've all thought the thoughts that Blink is singing about. It is a sad song, but one that gives hope as well. I will remember this song for most of my life and whenever I hear it my spine tingles (every time).

I think you're right about that. Also, there's a shift in the song from a perceived better past (and grim present view) to a brighter future outlook.

"16 just held such better days" to "Tomorrow holds such better days"

"Adam's Song" is commonly referred to as the song when Blink-182 got "serious", being their first well-known slow-paced song. The song is placed in between the catchy and fast-paced songs "Dysentery Gary" and "All the Small Things".[3][4]

The song is written in C major, with the strings on the guitar tuned a whole step down. The song's lyrics deal with depression and suicide, a noticeable departure from the toilet humor present in most of the other songs on Enema of the State. The arrangement of the song departs from their previous work as well, particularly the shifting instrumental parts. In the verses, the guitar plays (muted) chords accompanied by a relatively ordinary bass line; in the chorus the guitar plays octave lines while the bass shifts to playing chords. It is comparable to their later song "Stay Together for the Kids" (dealing with 'broken home' and family issues), from Blink-182's fifth studio album, "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket".

The song makes a reference to "Come as You Are" by Nirvana, which includes the lyric "Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late." "Adam's Song," in turn, includes the lyric "I took my time, I hurried up, The choice was mine, I didn't think enough."

It was once thought[citation needed] that the website AdamsLetter.com 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." Tom joked on German TV that the Adam in a question "was an old cowboy war hero who got his nuts shot off, but came through".[5] The title is actually an homage to a Mr. Show with Bob and David sketch, featuring a boy who attempts suicide after listening to his favorite band.[citation needed]

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.[6] Hoppus, the song's writer, has insisted that the song is anti-suicide.[7]

During their 2009 summer tour, after the passing of DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, Blink-182 stopped playing "Adam's Song" for the remainder of the tour and have not played it live since.[8] In 2012 Hoppus stated that the song may be "permanently retired" from their setlist because of the history attached to it.[9]

"i cant wait till i get home"? yeah that's a definite 'looking forward to the future' moment

this song is about growing up, and the difficulties therein, which a lot of blink's songs are about

i really don't think it is..

it's a song about a teenage boy who committed suicide. he'd written a suicide note for his parents, but also sent it to blink, 'cause he was a huge fan. blink were so moved by this that they wrote a song for him, and about his situation.

perhaps the "i can't wait til i get home" part means that he can't wait to be free from the pain and trouble of this life. "home" could mean heaven.

Let me summarize this for y'all real quick. It's a combo of many people, no specific focus (although several references) on one individual. Blink182 decided to write it after: A> Mark was feeling depressed; B> Receiving a fan's suicide letter.

Paragraphs 1&3 appear to be about someone who actually is writing a suicide note. But the chorus is more uplifting, and the reason why blink says its an anti-suicide song. It states both 16 and tomorrow. This shows to focus on the good points in life.

I seriously love this song. Anyone who actually read the lyrics can tell that its a tale of depression followed by the light at the end of the tunnel. I feel bad for the people who misinterpreted it and unfortunatly committed suicide but that doesnt take away from the songs merit. Also, just a note to "Trust in Him" how can you possibly have a name like that and be so cold and heartless. If "Trust in Him" is a religous hint like I think it is then how could you be so profane and cruel. O Well its not like you'll even care anyway.

this song is about a teen just before he kills himself (its named after a kid named Adam they once knew). its sad and depressing but its real and its not so corny like all of the other blink songs. Teenage life is made up to be all happy, innocent and loving but in reality its very hard and depressing to go through. thats what the song is about

I was trying to figure out why we have our downs. What do we get from them? Maybe they are reactions to our ups. I don't know, but now, I do know that remembering our ups makes our downs quickly fade. Listening to this song helps me to define that hope. It seems very sad, but don't miss the message.

And, like, anyone who has ever been depressed knows that the possibility of future good things just makes you feel worse/guilty, so this song does not end happily in my mind. I feel like the last stanza is said mockingly---"oh yeah, right, it'll get better" ---but he's still GONNA GO SPEND TIME IN HIS ROOM ALONE and we know what that means.

listen to one by metallica.then listen to adams song by that one band.idk if anyone else has said anything bout this, but the beginning riffs are like the same.whats interesting is that there is an enema of the state-era travis playing one in a cheetah video.makes u wonder

In terms of chords and melody, Adam's Song is more basic than the typical song, having below average scores in Chord Complexity, Melodic Complexity, Chord-Melody Tension, Chord Progression Novelty and Chord-Bass Melody.

This song is called "Adam's Song", it is one of the "Blink-182" songs from their album "Enema of the state" and it was recorded in 1999 and released in 2000. the song was written by Tom DeLonge (Guitarist/Vocalist) and Mark Hoppus (Bassist/Vocalist). the song is about people in situations like Suicide or under pressure and feeling depressed and lonely. first, this song was composed by Hoppus and later the band worked on the whole project. The producer of this song is Jerry Finn.

As Hoppus also mentioned he was influenced by the loneliness he had for a while which they were on tour and he was single. also, he had read a suicide note written by a teenager which he found in a magazine. the song is in a way that you feel as if it is a suicide note written by a young kid who talks about his situation and feelings and he/she has a message to people he/she knows. the song was planned to be written to help young kids find hope.

Past and present members of blink-182 have clearly been having a big ol' clear-out in 2021: after Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge sold their used gear earlier this year, Travis Barker has now decided to do the same.

Mark auctioned off the original lyric sheet for "Rock Show" last week and pulled in $18,000 for the piece of paper it was first written on -- but considering "Adam's Song" is one of Blink's biggest songs ever ... he could easily top that when his new auction launches on eBay later today. e24fc04721
