Blink-182 - ONE MORE TIME | Music Video | Veteran Reaction

[@fbisurveillancevan1635]

This song was written about them, but also about all of us. It applies to all of us in some way. Its the beauty of this song.

[@GODguy1977]

"I'm gonna have some phone calls ‏‪to make later" finished me ,, 😔

[@colin641]

I became homeless a month ago. Still working thankfully. I've been wasting my money staying at this hotel. When this song hit. It hit me so hard. I've been a huge blink fan since early 2000s. I understand it's about the bands journey but this song resonates with all of us in a personal level. The chorus lines resonate so much for me and yeah it hurts. Really bad. I sent this song to a few friends I grew up with and we haven't talked in years. This song brought us together. The love that we thought was forgotten is still alive and well

[@tylerbellows5358]

Good luck man, be strong and do your best.

[@jackfrostpaintball]

be proud of yourself for taking the right steps to get yourself right. keep going and look for opportunities, eventually shit will go your way!

[@xx3astmanxx928]

Trust me when I say that they wrote this song for us just as much as they wrote it for themselves, for the very reasons you discussed.

[@roberthood7650]

They held grudges for so long... Until one got diagnosed with cancer. Then all of that bullshit got put aside with one phone call that said I love you. It's a reminder to tell and show the people you love that you love them. Today. Because next time ain't always gonna happen. Gotta tell em that you love them while we're here. absolutely beautiful

[@diandiaz9026]

This song can touch so many people on so many different levels that I’m very glad they wrote it and sing it because I know it’s speaking of their membership as a band and how they broke up and come back together and Travis was in a plane crash, so this has a lot of meaning all the way around

[@robbieredrum5953]

This song reaches a lot of people, which is amazing. It just breaks my heart that so many of us go through a struggle like this but never do anything to fix it. I'm one of them. It's just hard sometimes.

[@pjd182]

This is exactly how I feel brother. Thank you for this and thank you for your service.

[@pjd182]

I would have joined the military if they weren't so prejudice towards tattoos.

[@harleymax01]

Thanks for your service.

[@wintertrooper7918]

at the core of this song is a message of friendship, that anything could happen so always tell your friends how much you miss them and care because there might not be a next time

[@danielbeard7045]

Music is subjective, and people will interpret it as they will, and find their own meanings and references... to me, this song speaks of mine and my daughters relationship...🥺😭

[@jesusmacias7687]

Thats true but this song is about the band. Their finding, their split up their story. It specifically speaks of marks illness and Travis plane crash

[@shan0219]

⁠@@jesusmacias7687that is totally what this song is about but it doesn’t mean that people are unable to resonate with it in a different heartbreaking way

[@ChadJohnson-p1p]

Enjoy and love.

[@wnk1984]

Thanks for your reaction, brother. Hearing this took me right back to 1999, back when they were riding high on Enema of the State, warped tour '99, etc. I absolutely love the nostalgic feeling of this tune and the video is amazing!

[@ExTiNkT91]

Yeah, Mark had Stage 4 lymphoma and beat it. Tom had skin cancer and battled some addiction, and Travis with his plane crash. They put all the bullshit aside and they're good friends again.

[@rustyhughes1372]

Great reaction man. Love you speaking about how you can personally relate to the music. Thank you for all you have done.

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

I appreciate that

[@chapichale1074]

How much this speaks to me between Myself & Dad. One of the best songs blink 182 ever wrote.!

[@elbegev8550]

we all cried bro , i still shed tears every time i watch this or hear it

[@CesaR-nq5qq]

This is what I would call: "How to break a soldier in tears".

[@tylerfoley2859]

We feel the words being in the military, strangers into brothers and brothers into strangers agine, ide go back and do the time with them agine 100% 👍🏼🇺🇸💙

[@steves.6519]

I feel what you said about it reminding you of friends we made in the military. ive been out a while now and have lost track of a lot of them but lucky enough, found some through social media. The shit you go through with fellow Vets is a special bond.

[@qabma]

I'm from different country but I guess .. people like you have lots of sacrifices to do whatever you have to do .. all over the glob. So , thanks for your service whatever country you were served.

[@Onewithjoe]

Yup brotha. I know the song is meant to be a nostalgic throwback but I literally called my old friends, caught up with them and told them how much I love them after listening to this song.

[@Hapsby]

You're one of the first reactors that has talked about how while the lyrics are about Blink as a band, they also apply personally to the listener and their experiences. I felt the same way!

[@jan.plays.guitar]

Blink make ballads for grown men of the type that are strong everyday, but would build a tree house and then kinda tear up in it. That’s why I relate 🥲 For real brother, I saw your thumbnail, your vet background in the title and your face…I clicked instantly and you got a like and sub even though I didn’t know how the reaction would be. I’m a kindergarten teacher in Europe with an injury that cost me my job and some physical abilities, couldn’t be more away from your world, but I feel you, send you love and hope you’re ok, brother. ❤

[@paulahardeman6103]

First thank you for my freedom, I know some vets don't like when that is said. This year has been very hard lost my dad and his dog, my friend almost died two strokes. This song hits so much

[@bkcin86]

❤ appreciate your reaction.

[@beckerdidie]

I felt the same way as you, this song made me remember all the people that make a difference in my life... Deep!

[@jwolfskeil]

Hey man. I’m a fellow vet and huge blink fan. Just wanted to say that I love you and I’m here

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

Love you too brother

[@ArkanToS182]

You veterans have all my respect, thanks for all

[@PainfulSin2811170]

I grew up with these guys. I was introduced to them through their chesire cat album in middle school, a friend of mine had a copy. I was instantly hooked and haven't stopped listening to them ever since. I'm 33 now. They're personal heroes of mine and I couldn't imagine a world without them. And as for you: I believe whatever one's political leaning is, everyone should acknowledge and respect the sacrifices HEROES like you have made for us. I cannot fathom the pain you've endured or the things you and your fellow warriors have seen, but from the deepest parts of my being-I thank you. If no one has told you lately, you're amazing and beautiful. I appreciate you sir. Once again, thank you for your service.

[@ArkanToS182]

What a honest and beautiful reaction, this song got me emotional too

[@jesusmacias7687]

This is a poetic love song of the band. The true fans will understand exactly what it means.

[@rockandrollrockandrollrock6930]

14 years in, I feel ya brother. Some friends are still here arnd some arnt. The warrior life is beautiful and trajuc. But you deffinantly apreaciate the ones who are lucky enough to stick around. "Ourselves included" not all are sucky and we have the forttune of knowing to never take it for granted

[@Elijah31011]

I felt the same things you did when you started talking about your time in. I was in the Army for 20 years and I’m a huge Blink fan… but whatever reason there is, be it a Blink fan or being a Soldier… this song got me immediately. The brotherhood on both sides is powerful.

[@rowdyadventures3079]

I can relate brother. As an Army veteran, I lost touch with a lot of military brothers. I started reaching out on social media. I just wish I would have reached out sooner to some that took their own life.

[@elbegev8550]

we relate to this song because we all have those friendships where we were close as brothers or sisters and eventually for whatever reason we grew apart from each other … don’t wait one more day to rekindle those friendships because you never know that one day could be your last , and we don’t want that day to be the time that we say goodbye or that we miss you or say that we love you … Mark Travis and Tom have realised this and we all relate to their story

[@darrellrayonroblox]

Blink182 always hitting different

[@alive4thenight297]

Finished 8 years in the Infantry this last April. This song absolutely hits home to all the brothers we gained and lost along the way. I know how you feel and I’m here for you too brother! Much love man and hope you’re well.

[@aaronsnuggles]

This song is emotional and the video makes it even more emotional this song is for them and the fans that grew up with them love with blink goes this way

[@dcvito00]

As a fellow Vet, I feel you on this one. From that very first line, I thought of all my brothers and sisters that I served with. I'll say it now, I miss them all.

[@willywonka4690]

This is my favorite reaction to this song. Thank you bro and thank you for your service❤

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

Thank you for your support!

[@ThatBrendonGuy]

Bands can write a song about themselves but bands are just people and what they go through is what we all go through, thats why we can relate to songs that aren't about us...

[@robertcentofanti7414]

You're fucking awesome dude! your the first reacter ive seen that's said that it relates to your life or just life in general, because thats how i felt when i first heard it so amen brother!!

[@A-AronX]

It's a letter to themselves and a letter to their fans

[@marvelharris9540]

great song

[@1101grayzer]

I felt you there.

[@masonyuzwa8717]

It's ok buddy to have these kinda feelings..even the toughest of us feels this kinda shit and can resonate to a song like this !! Makes me think of my close buddy that I haven't heard of in years due to us growing apart and my brother that is very heavy into alcohol!! Also thank you for your service..i have many family and friends that have either served or was enlisted!! 👍👍💪💪

[@tonytorrez1256]

Super grateful for this reaction, as this resonates the closest with me. I signed up with the Marines after 9/11 happened, and this band got me through high school and the war. What you said about complacency is so freaking true man; while I understand we all have our lives to live, it’s so hard reaching out and finding out who is still around, and who had left us. I hate that I’ve lost touch with so many of my brothers & sisters in the service, but I also can’t seem to bring myself to tell them I loved them all-in fears I’m already too late. At least in my mind, they all will live forever. You’ve articulated the feelings better than I could, and I hope you and your network are thriving well brother. Semper Fi

[@tophfb]

Man. I just finished watching your reaction and this was excellent. You’re spot on with a lot of what you said and have me re-encouraged to reach out to some friends.

[@ArianaH3ART]

Yes this song got me good, even though it's about the band alot of it I felt applied to my life also as you did. Song definately had me crying, honestly you just need to tell someone that you love them or that they are loved, that could mean the world to them or at least make their day.

[@tracieyudichak2315]

I was in the Navy when I fell in love with this band listening to Feeling This on the radio, while tweeking government radios. I marveled at their ability to capture my musical heart after I long decided they were annoying and not worth my time. I couldn't stop listening to them, bought cd's and dvd's, researching their bio online, and looked up their next tour, which was all in Europe and I was in California. I contemplated buying a plane ticket and seeing them live, then realized how silly it would be to make a move like that being a fan for about a month or so, when I could easily wait until they came back to San Diego, Duh! 6 months later, no local tour dates, however an announcement from MTV of their indefinite hiatus! WHUTTTTTT?!?!?!?! I cannot deny the regret I felt for not getting those plane tickets. I still can't justify buying those tickets with where I was at that time. It didn't stop me from being a fan since. I was just often feeling how much I missed out on by not exploring their music earlier, mostly. Regardless of that feeling, they are my favorite band. Over the last couple of years, I put this band in my past as I mature in life, blink-182 said: Nuh-uhh Tracie! We got One More Time I said back: Dammit! Always. Feeling This

[@kalebquinn9365]

Call your brothers. From one Vet to another I fully get what your saying. These lyrics coincide well with the life we once lived.

[@jesusmacias7687]

Yeah they came out with edging last fall

[@tfarbes]

Travis Barker and close friend rented a small plane that later crashed near a highway Travis survived ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tiredofit4761]

I love this band. This song got me! It’s so honest and it speaks truth about relationships. You shouldn’t wait until somebody dies or something bad happens before you realize what you have. ❤peace to all. Thank you for your service.

[@korn9225-oq6go]

Thank you for your service man

[@CesaR-nq5qq]

This is my 56th video reaction to this song.

[@sharkbait5402]

This song strangely hits dead on with my Army days. Coming together with rando's, deploying, then getting out. Kills me that i dont talk with some of the guys i would of gladly died with.

[@Barapus]

Bro this is the craziest thing. I have been seeing your channel pop up for ages but never got around to watching. My name is Dustin also! I was also former Army and I also have my Sisyphus boulder of PTSD that I struggle with.. I feel like I found a brother I never knew I had! Fresh sub right here. much love.

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

That’s awesome man. Welcome to the channel Dustin

[@tophfb]

I’m sure someone else might’ve mentioned it but they dropped a second song the same time as this with a lyric video that packs an extra punch with some double bass peddles

[@blakequick3099]

This is the first song from all original band members since 2011 but they released 2 albums with out Tom in 2016 and 2019

[@alienicecream]

Just some constructive feedback... I think watching the whole video at once and diving into your feelings all at once while you experienced the entire song would be a better format and might make you see the entire picture more. Either way, this was a good reaction, and I think you found a connection with it some of us might not be able to compare to. Overall, well said!

[@Syco4369]

This poetically encapsulates how Tom remembered Travis’ plane crash, and realized Mark had cancer, he needed to return to the band because he couldn’t risk losing another day making music with his brothers. Because life can be gone with the snap of a finger. And that regret and remorse you’d feel over not reconnecting over petty stuff - yeah. Does it mean this is their Swan Song and won’t make music after this album drops? That’s for the band to decide. But it’s definitely a beautifully crafted song about family and fear of losing them.

[@kathleenclark815]

It's not just Tom's thoughts. It's All of them

[@Syco4369]

Yes, but Tom was the one that made the decision to rejoin the band after Mark got sick. Tom was on his own journey. Mark and Travis were still together. Mark got sick and Tom made the decision to reconnect and rejoin the group

[@Heute.imGold]

Love your reaction and words. We all should do few phone calls i reckon📞

[@bobpiljayrealtor9591]

To me, the line "It shouldn't take a sickness, or airplanes falling out the sky" could refer to covid and 9/11. Phenomenal song, regardless. Great reaction. Thank you for your service. I was USAF and USN. I can see the parallels there, too.

[@walldog9724]

It refers to Travis's plane accident and mark's cancer

[@bobpiljayrealtor9591]

@@walldog9724 I know that. I'm just saying you could take it that way, as well.

[@muscularavocado3547]

Plane crash involves Travis barker.

[@timsbird1971]

You need to look up the Skiba era albums of California and Nine. You missed them :)

[@madisonmorris97]

What does complacent mean?

[@craigmcnamee]

This one's a bit close to the bone. Recently reconnected with a really close friend who I'd lost contact with 20 years ago, it's really hard, life makes it easy to be complacent but stuff like this makes you realise tomorrow's never promised.

[@kathleenclark815]

You know they put out "edging" a year ago, right?

[@timsbird1971]

I think the issue is he missed California and Nine - perhaps Dogs Eating Dogs too. Guessing that either the self titled album or Neighbourhoods was the last Blink he remembers.

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

I missed a lot while I was busy in the army with all the deployments and the traveling I did while I was in. I fell out of touch with a lot of things.
