Tom is truly a great lyricist.

This is the first song I sang to my daughter when she was born in the hospital 17 months ago. I change the last line of the second verse to "the one thing that i can most willingly prove is that no matter what daddy will always love you." The acoustic version always brings me back to that. I love Tom Delonge for that

[@ericfeldy1466]

This warms my heart, especially your lyric swap.

[@mbuckholz]

As a musician this is a one in a life time song. Tom truly is an artist.

[@brandonmahoney4211]

Hes had many of those once in a lifetime songs

[@RDKTB83]

That wink at 2:39 is pure Tom! 👍👌

[@bucky7162]

AvA's music holds a special place in my heart, i always feel a mixture of sad and happy when I hear their music again, reminds me of better times

[@christinecollins1349]

Tom writes such beautiful songs - how is one expected to not fall in love with him 😍 My heart ❤️

[@josephestepa9268]

Tom’s voice is perfect in this video. Thank you Angels and Airwaves. Shoutout to AOL 👏🏼

[@dylankennedy6389]

I've really had it with the rain and the tears this predictable storm that has come every year ... damn Tom you lyrical wordsmith.

[@shariqahmed5637]

"Like the time that we kissed, and you gave me a lie To add to the scene you pretended to cry" - peak song writing by Tom. The dude is so underrated.

[@JoeyGarcia95]

He's singing into Sure SM58, that explains why he sounds so good. Those mics are badass! And so is AVA! Love this version so much!

[@bluemcdaniel99]

Special McKinley The SM7 is where it’s at though. The 58 is that ish though. I can’t deny that.

[@quinnobropta2539]

Omg Tom that is beautiful that guitar has amazing sound the way you play it I always been a fan of your music, how you sing compose and jus pour your heart in it. Thanks for your inspiration, thanks for your songs, and lastly thank you for a lifetime of memories I had while your music played...

[@2ndkombat]

I've always love this version. It is calming.

[@ohEnii]

Tom is by far one of the most talented singers in the world, and a lyrical genius. I would.

[@АртемАртемов-и2м3з]

Приятно слушать Тома. Его игра на гитаре, его голос, его манера исполнения, его команда. Спасибо за мою юность с твоим звуком. Я из России и слушаю твою музыку. Спасибо!

[@Aspirador_de_Almeida]

Tamo junto irmão

[@stephenevans7788]

I have been a blink fan for my entire life. This album hands down had the most impact on my life (and I'm not an emo or ex emo who is now a hipster) good for Tom getting out there and putting down raw, emotional angels and airwaves music. Good Shit Tom!! JESUS THIS IS GOOD. LISTEN TO IT

[@CooCooAwesome]

I think Tom ALWAYS sings better during acoustic performances...

[@scottlarrabee467]

Everyone does there's less instrumentation to compete with as far as volume goes, this was shakey though.

[@dekadenser]

Another thing, they tend to lower the key when they play acoustic aswell. Really helps him to sound more consistent. A lot of his best vocal effort are on slower and maybe even acoustic songs too, Anomaly, Invisible Parade etc..

[@Krhim]

CooCooAwesome everytime he's sober

[@BuddyRHS1965]

Yeah but that is where some musicians are ruined. He is still great with no effects. Sounds truly passionate.

[@TJJJJJJJJJJJ]

They are a full step down here and it still sounds like there’s a fair bit of post on his voice you can hear it level out. I’m a big fan of the guy but his best work is in the studio

[@Kevin94McBride]

Tom will always have a band that we wish will get back together even though he has always remanded active, all these years 😂

[@joaog2103]

The song is beautifull by itself, but in acoustic is MINDBLOWING!

[@andrewbattle7384]

I miss this lineup. I wish they would get back together and come to Va for a concert. Their music (to me at least) just sounds like the joys and struggles of life and I always feel goosebumps and really feel the music move me.

[@jonathanpham7397]

Best acoustic song performed by them hands down. Great voice this time actually

[@readwithchasity3697]

God his voice !! 😍 Jennifer you're a very lucky woman ,

[@joejohnston1776]

Read with Chasity they got divorced

[@earlledbetter7570]

amazing..never gets old..Tom was the talent behind Blink-182 and this proves it

[@saffronthurkettle6795]

Tom isn’t the only talented one from blink-182 but his work with blink-182 is better than the work they did with Matt skiba as much as I don’t dislike him he doesn’t suit that band

[@rpfcreates4476]

Totally, plus 44 had some great music so their comment is ridiculous. Everyone in blink is so crucial to that sound and band.

[@albierlangga]

The best AVA song. Enough said.

[@CacaEnferma]

My last wish is that your dude is with me

[@kaioespindola]

i always come back to this performance, dont really know why

Tom is capable of being so good...so freaking good, why he doesnt do it half rhe time is beyond me.

[@phawanglowang5617]

Who said Tom cannot sing? This was angelic.

[@350zaustin]

its really a hit or miss when he sings live...im pretty sure he puts his heart out for both bands.

[@danelawson42]

All That We Are makes me shudder. Goosebumps. All that build up the pure bombast for three minutes.

[@allthingsel995]

A true lyrical inspiration - hey Tom I'm still fangirling hard circa 90s Cheshire cat and m&ms ❤️‍🔥

[@AndyTHC4me]

Same. Singing my heart out (cheesier cat/Buddha/dude ranch) listening to my anti skip Walkman CD player with those cd’s on repeat. “WHO’s makes up all the rules about those girls I want..who tells them all to laugh..who tell them all to talk about me. But I’m not sure what my purpose is for being here. Why do they? Why do they? Why do that always kick me in the groin when i come near, I Mean i’m not complaining it just hurts after a bit!”

[@aisgannon8111]

One of my favorite songs ever. And this version of it kicks ass

What? Come on man, that's a reach. This couldn't be more pitchy

[@scottlarrabee467]

Perfect is one thing, all over the place is another love this guy just the same though! He's more of a studio musician

[@vnctmrn]

sounds silly, but I like when artists don't sound perfect. I love when it sounds emotional, something I would sing, gives it much much more depth imo

[@7Roeth]

I thought the vocals were so good. I didnt even notice any supposed pitch problems..

[@7Roeth]

Vincent Mauron I agree...Tom gives you everything you want with this performance. Its himself and its great.

[@alexfatt7418]

Fantastic performance, and yes this is proof that tom can sing wonderfully, this song is awesome.. nuff said

[@JettSkoll]

He sounds so much better when he keeps it simple..this was great

[@spencedeezy19]

@EzAvABlink whats funny about that is, the Taylor guitar that Tom is playing was created in El Cajon, CA which is part of San Diego County where Tom is from. Taylor guitars are made in a bad-ass factory in El Cajon where other artists like Jason Mraz and Dave Matthews have designed their own signature models. I think Tom should design one also.

[@FehNogueira09]

Just listened to this for the first time now. What an extraordinary song !

[@themacdaddydify]

He always sounds good when 1. He's sober, and 2. He can sing at a low volume.

[@rewschreijewschreier]

vocals are also definitly a day to day thing. the chords are in different thickness and lubrication and warmed up depending on not just the hour but. the minute. haha. i thin he doesnt sound his best in this video. but non of these style live ones sound good. lol. i saw him live that year with say anything and he sounded fckin on point. as a classmate made fun of me at the show for. we moshed to AVA like it was slipknot (we were from and in Iowa at the time)

[@somethingcreativeprobably5160]

@@rewschreijewschreier I agree, music is all about how you feel in the moment. But then again, while his voice sounds tired he is so note for note in-key, I can't explain it but that's not something you hear a lot in live performances.

[@rewschreijewschreier]

@@DetroitLionsDynasty lol i think some people are given alot more natural talen than others. and if u wanan go down the hes not talented route. tom sure outshined lthe living shit outta literally millinos of people in the world with more natural talent than him maybe by sheer passion. which adds alot of beauty to it. and ive seen him live and the night i saw him he killed it. also he has ETD, euchstacion problems and ud be amazed how bad that is for singing. and i promise u everyone even the best. have off and bad nights. they just never put out the sheer amount of material there is for tom. those people curate carefully to not have their not perfects get out. cause average zeitgeist of singers is retarded. "if u make on e mistake,half note off." they write you off. its sad. rock isnt perfect. its heart. not comin at u bro :D just :P. ive heard him have great nights. and no one is not human. no onw has vocal chords that are perfect 24/7. idk if u sing. but if u a singer. u know ur voice is totalyl different. morning. afternoon and night. every 30 mins u have a brand new way of singing in you you just not listenin close enough

@okineedoxygen It's called a Cajon derived from El Cajon which is it in spanish. When the Africans were brought as slaves to South America they didnt have the kind of resources they'd have had to make djembe drums and congo's and all like they had back home,so they used what they had and made this "drum box" the cajon :) Most of them have Snare wires in them,that's why they sound like a drum,some of them also have kinda bell-like shaker thingy's in them too which makes a slighty different sound

It's a frightening night, and the wind has a roar It seeps through the hall, and from under the door Like the shit that was said Can take it that well I give and I give and I give and I give and I'm still Hurtin' from this, from the love that's been starved I know I got close but I'm sure it's to far From the point of suspense, we know it should be The end of the part, of our favorite movie When the guy grabs the girl and gives her his hand Says take me away from this torch in this land 'Cause the grave is set up, the hole that I dug I gave and I gave and I gave and I gave you my trust Like the time that we kissed, and you gave me a lie To act of this scene you pretended to cry But I'm here and I'm cool, the way that it is Just give me a chance and I'll try to forgive And I don't know And I can't guess it's gonna be okay but now My last wish is that you do this with me Kiss me here, and hold my hand Let me feel like I'm the only one I know you can Won't you do if for me now I really had it with the rain and the tears The predictable storm that has come every year And it sneaks from the shore with the bat in its hand I'm tryin' I'm tryin' I'm tryin' I'm tryin' I can't You're a thief and a witch, but if love you to death You steal my heart and curse under your breath But the one thing that I will most willing prove That when you are gone I'll be fine without you And I don't know And I can't guess it's gonna be okay but now My last wish is that you do this with me Kiss me here, and hold my hand Let me feel like I'm the only one I know you can Won't you do if for me now Now just hold on, hold on to me Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me) Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me) Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me) Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me) Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me) Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me) Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me) Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me) Hold on, hold on to me (hold on to me)
