We spent yesterday and last night at a fun, quirky hotel/lodge just out of town. With the Fourth of July on Tuesday, Hannah and I took off Monday from real work to squeeze out a little longer vacation time. If you’d like this newsletter delivered to your inbox each week (it’s free and available to everyone), you can sign up here. There’s also a playlist of ten songs worth your time, and this week’s supporter Q&A post can be found here. is a celebration that means a lot to a lot of people: Not an anthem in the usual sense of the word, more of a reminder.This week’s newsletter has thoughts on the Emo book, thoughts on music out this week, and random musings from a long weekend in the sun. He continued, “But there is room for the anthemic in small moments, too-when you’re alone in your room and a song is the only thing that’s there for you. Most of the songs covered in this NPR series are huge: war songs, protest songs, songs that grace Super Bowl stages and national rallies.” Of the selection, he wrote, “You don’t need subtlety to write an anthem even the ones that are subversively tongue-in-cheek are pretty obvious about it. When asked about the revival, Hoppus says he found new meaning in the song, “I think of it more now as almost a celebration of hardships gone through and friends lost.”įor an NPR All Things Considered broadcast in the same year, Andrew Limbong chose “Adam’s Song” to be a part of their series on “American Anthems” – which highlights certain songs that “challenge, unite and celebrate.”
The group later brought the track back out during their Kings of the Weekend Las Vegas residency in 2018. But I didn’t, so it was always like, I was lonely on tour, but then I got home and it didn’t matter because there was nothing there for me anyway,” Hoppus said previously. “Tom and Travis always had girlfriends waiting back home, so they had something to look forward to at the end of the tour. He said he would often daydream of the end of the tour when he could go home and be alone. Hoppus has long said the initial inspiration for “Adam’s Song” came to him when he was feeling lonely while on tour. With the closing lines, Blink-182 makes it clear that they intend the track as a message of hope during a dark time. Though the song’s opening lines are sufficiently dark and depressing, as the song progresses forward it takes a lighter turn, as he begins to feel more hopeful and ultimately makes the decision to live.
He then begins to daydream about what it might be like when he’s gone. Again recalling seemingly trivial things that he has done wrong, including spilling a cup of apple juice.
The second verse is by far the darkest as Adam fully resigns to his suicidal thoughts. The choice was mine, I didn’t think enough
