So this made me also listen to a couple other bands that Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker have made. Boxcar Racer is one of my favorite albums in my whole life. LOVE IT and I have for years and years and years. I thought I would share my favorite song from the only album they created =.(

Lyrics:
Have you ever heard these songs? What did you think of them?
This vacation's useless
These white pills aren't kind
I've given a lot of thought on this 13-hour drive
I miss the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9
And slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights
I've given a lot of thought to the nights we use to have
The days have come and gone
Our lives went by so fast
I faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor
Where i laid and told you, but you swear you loved me more
Do you care if i don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off pretend its all okay
That there someone out there who feels just like me
There is
Those notes you wrote me
I've kept them all
I've given a lot of thought of how to write you back this fall
With every single letter in every single word
There will be a hidden message about a boy that
loves a girl
Do you care if i don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
that There's someone out there who feels just like me
There is
Do you care if i don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
Do you care if i don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
There is

Our lives went by so fast

Where i laid and told you, but you swear you loved me more
Do you care if i don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off pretend its all okay
That there someone out there who feels just like me

And the other one is also from Tom DeLonge. Angels and Airwaves is his other band and I absolutely LOVE this song!
RITE OF SPRING:
Lyrics:
I was locked all day in the summer heat,
In a small brown house in suburban streets,
The skateboard and my shit guitar,
I dreamed all day that they would get me far,
My dad would ask me about my grades,
The asshole sports that I never played,
And then I'd ask about the girls he'd date,
Behind our backs when mom would stay up late.
It was near when I turned sixteen, got kicked out of school,
And so it seemed, that things were closing in
And ready to blow,
My dad moved out about that year or so,
It took an hour to start a punk rock band,
To offset my fucked up family land,
And as I held my mom would start to cry,
I swore ourselves a better life.
If I had a chance for another try,
I wouldn't change a thing,
This made me all of who I am inside,
And if I could thank God,
That I am here, and that I am alive
And everyday I wake,
I tell myself a little harmless lie,
The whole wide world is mine.
The summer's gone, the years have passed,
My friends have changed, a few did last,
The smallest dreams got pushed aside,
The largest ones that changed my life,
And all I wish for has come to past,
From rock and roll, to love and cash,
It's all success if it's what you need,
Do what you like and do it honestly.
If I had a chance for another try,
I wouldn't change a thing,
This made me all of who I am inside,
And if I could thank God,
That I am here, and that I am alive
And everyday I wake,
I tell myself a little harmless lie,
The whole wide world is mine.
Yo oh oh oh
Yo oh oh
Yo oh oh oh
Yo Oh Oh
Yo Oh Oh Oh
Yo Oh Oh
Yo Oh Oh Oh
Yo Oh Oh
If I had a chance for another try,
I wouldn't change a thing,
This made me all of who I am inside,
And if I could thank God,
That I am here, and that I am alive,
And everyday I wake,
I tell myself a little harmless lie,
The whole wide world is mine.

Yay! You're going to the Blink182 concert :)
ReplyDeleteI actually have not heard either of the two songs you posted...but I really love the beats to it! Especially Rite of Spring - I listened to all of it :)
I use to listen to a lot more alternative music years ago but the past few years I mostly listen to clubbing music, hip hop, dance..etc..I'd have difficulties choosing a favourite music artist since so many seem to come and go in that genre but probably Usher is my most played artist on my iPhone :)
@Karen- yay you liked it :) I absolutely agree, there is so many one hit wonders that it is hard to find ones you can call a favorite i used to Listen to Usher a lot too.. I like his older stuff, he can really sing!! And yay for Blink!! I'm so excited!!!
ReplyDeleteThis might be TMI....but I think Travis Barker is hottttt!!! I'd do him! =D
ReplyDeleteYay for music! I love older music :)
ReplyDeleteawww I can't believe I haven't heard boxcar racer before! I love it!
ReplyDeleteDo you like Simple Plan too? I like them, not as much as Blink-182 but I do like their songs a lot! :)
@Sara-yay =)
ReplyDelete@Priscilla-hahah no I agree with you 100% But I do love Tom just a lil bit more!! he is very very HOTTTTTTTTTT!!!!
@Vintagemakeup- =D I know I love listening to things I used to every once in a while
@Cerina-Me either! but maybe you were too young when the cd came out? I am an old lady lol. I acutally used to listen to them a little bit but they haven't had anything out lately.. I really love Old Good Charlotte as well!
A girl from my own heart! I LOVE AVA! I'm also a pretty big fan of that Boxcar Racer song...great choices!
