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
I'm with you, that album is perfect from start to finish. Valkyrie Missile is such a fuckin great start to the album. This is my favorite song off that album for sure, but only by a very slim margin because every song is so solid. Something about the ambience and atmosphere of that album is unlike any other album.. every song makes you feel a certain emotion unique to that particular song. So yeah, haha, I 100% understand how you feel about this album.
@@patmccrotch5373 Valkyrie Missile always made me feel like we are flying off, and the rest of the album takes place in space. I think it's an outstanding concept album, at least from an instrumental viewpoint.
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...
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!
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
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.
Lost my best friend a few years back, I can remember is him and his little brother playing this song together. Today is his birthday and fuck I miss him everyday. R.I.H my friend till we meet again
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
Son de lo mejor que a hecho vibrar mis oídos en los últimos años, han sacudido mi corazón y mi espíritu, tienen realmente una Atmósfera única e indescriptible!!! Bendiciones para ustedes Muchachos, que nunca termine esta experiencia y Bienvenidos a Colombia! Los esperamos! They are the best to my ears vibrated in recent years have shaken my heart and my spirit, with a unique atmosphere really indescribable! Blessings to you guys, I never finished this experience and welcome to Colombia! See you!
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)
@@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 I always laugh when people make excuses for how shitty Tom sings live. These vocal “problems and differences” you mention don’t seem to affect people who can actually sing lol
@@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
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!”
Been a fan over Tom over 23 years now. Had Breathe played at my wedding, but this is still my fav song ;) ..... Even got chorus tattood on my stomach :D Sad i know, but die hard fan :P Long live Tom and the AvA crew!! awesome team and best band ever.
Cant get enough of this song and AvA and blink i never used to listen to this music but my thoughts on music have changed and this is what i call talent and music amazing
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..
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
oh my god i cant believe you just talked to me!!!! blink-182 has been my favorite band since i was like 5 and i am stilll obsessed!! this is the best band ever!!! im 12 years old and i play bass and some guitar. Mark you have been my hero all my life!! i know how to play almost every blink-182 song. when you replied i ran into the wall screaming mark hoppus talked to me!!! your the best mark, and blink will always be my favorite band.
@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.
Listening to Tom always makes me want to get up and make a song. I'm just not skilled at it and it's extremely hard for me to find the right beat or creativity.
@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

Tom is truly a great lyricist.
Lots of practice!
@@ericcoombs lol is that something you can really practice?
@@hotbarango absolutely! Poetry is good, learning rythem and syllables
He was blink

This warms my heart, especially your lyric swap.
As a musician this is a one in a life time song. Tom truly is an artist.
Hes had many of those once in a lifetime songs
Tom’s voice is perfect in this video. Thank you Angels and Airwaves. Shoutout to AOL 👏🏼
That wink at 2:39 is pure Tom! 👍👌
Tom writes such beautiful songs - how is one expected to not fall in love with him 😍 My heart ❤️
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
"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.
I've really had it with the rain and the tears this predictable storm that has come every year ... damn Tom you lyrical wordsmith.
We don't need to whisper is one of my all time faviourtie albums. yeah dude.
Your mom gae
Here here!!

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

"When you are gone I'll be fine without you"
Just got out of a 3 year relationship, those lyrics fucking hit man. Never thought I'd relate to it as much. Oh well, life goes on!
@@ItsCamplicated I'm so sorry my brother always hear for you dude need to talk anyone
Tom is by far one of the most talented singers in the world, and a lyrical genius. I would.
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
The song is beautifull by itself, but in acoustic is MINDBLOWING!
I've always love this version. It is calming.
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.

Best acoustic song performed by them hands down. Great voice this time actually
Tom sounds great in this video! I love hearing him when he sounds this way, I really like what he did in the AOL Studio.
amazing..never gets old..Tom was the talent behind Blink-182 and this proves it
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
Totally, plus 44 had some great music so their comment is ridiculous. Everyone in blink is so crucial to that sound and band.
with all these lyrics I would recommend Tom writing a book.
AwesomeWinter He's writing 10 Novels
Paul Sully Do you know the titles, by any chance ?
The Baron Von Tito Wow glad that i read your comment .. never knew that he wrote a novels
+Prince William He Does everything these days
Stefan skærsholm
Yea, I do! Thank you! :D
Tom is the only man I can both hate and love at the same time.
same
Tim Talks Games why hate
thought it was just me
Amadeusz because of tendencies to HYPE something up and let it fall off the face of earth *wdntw 10yr* *poet feature* etc
Tim Talks Games seriously especially since he is an sjw ;))))
i always come back to this performance, dont really know why
First time I have ever heard this acoustic version, and all I can say is...this is amazing :o
Tom sounds great in this one. Wish live performances were like this

God his voice !! 😍 Jennifer you're a very lucky woman ,
Read with Chasity they got divorced
Been forever since I seen this. Miss the old times for sure.
He always sounds good when 1. He's sober, and 2. He can sing at a low volume.
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)

Who said Tom cannot sing? This was angelic.
The best AVA song. Enough said.
A true lyrical inspiration - hey Tom I'm still fangirling hard circa 90s Cheshire cat and m&ms ❤️🔥

BRING BACK AOL SESSIONS
Been a fan over Tom over 23 years now. Had Breathe played at my wedding, but this is still my fav song ;) ..... Even got chorus tattood on my stomach :D Sad i know, but die hard fan :P Long live Tom and the AvA crew!! awesome team and best band ever.
I'm not the only one that sings along with the video am I ? -_-
One of my favorite songs ever. And this version of it kicks ass
Cant get enough of this song and AvA and blink i never used to listen to this music but my thoughts on music have changed and this is what i call talent and music amazing
its really a hit or miss when he sings live...im pretty sure he puts his heart out for both bands.
Such a great chorus, so beautiful and emo... tional
Perfect
That wink at 2:38
I think that was more of an eye twitch
This is the greatest band of all time
My favorite rendition of an Angels and Airwaves song
All That We Are makes me shudder. Goosebumps. All that build up the pure bombast for three minutes.
Tom is capable of being so good...so freaking good, why he doesnt do it half rhe time is beyond me.
I think Tom ALWAYS sings better during acoustic performances...
Everyone does there's less instrumentation to compete with as far as volume goes, this was shakey though.
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..
CooCooAwesome everytime he's sober
Yeah but that is where some musicians are ruined. He is still great with no effects. Sounds truly passionate.
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
This was way better than I thought. Lyrical genius
This AOL sessions... was all the acoustic needed...
His vocals are excellent here. Trust me.
oh my god i cant believe you just talked to me!!!! blink-182 has been my favorite band since i was like 5 and i am stilll obsessed!! this is the best band ever!!! im 12 years old and i play bass and some guitar. Mark you have been my hero all my life!! i know how to play almost every blink-182 song. when you replied i ran into the wall screaming mark hoppus talked to me!!! your the best mark, and blink will always be my favorite band.
Lmao
I love Angels and Airwaves. They create beautiful music!
I discovered this a few days ago and I can't stop listening to it.
His voice sounds awesome...
Just listened to this for the first time now. What an extraordinary song !
Fantastic performance, and yes this is proof that tom can sing wonderfully, this song is awesome.. nuff said
wow he actually did a good job on the vocals
What? Come on man, that's a reach. This couldn't be more pitchy
Perfect is one thing, all over the place is another love this guy just the same though! He's more of a studio musician
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
I thought the vocals were so good. I didnt even notice any supposed pitch problems..
Vincent Mauron I agree...Tom gives you everything you want with this performance. Its himself and its great.
killin the replay.
Am I the only one who thinks Tom voice is just so .. relaxing? i mean it chills the fuck outta me!
I love this acoustic performance of Do It For Me Now
Honestly, this song is so brilliant.
You know the band, management, and his wife sat him down and said "Everything you do on stage? Yeah dont do NONE of that shit at AOL"
He sounds so much better when he keeps it simple..this was great
These AOL songs, in my humble opinion, are the best thing that AVA has ever done. These are what AVA truly is to me.
Agreed sung with deep passion and meaning you can FEEL it!
Amazing lyrics on all songs,heartfelt and meaning. Plus great drum beats.
This is a great acoustic version !
Anxiety (their new single) is supposed to come out today! :) Excited as hell!
This is absolutely beautiful! Sometimes live versions totally suck... but this is amazing!
I wish i knew people who love Angels and Airwaves as much i do :(
your voice sound good tom, keep your voice like this tom.. 😊
Why does Tom sing so perfectly with AVA songs????
2021 baby been coming back all the damn time since like 2015 lol I love this version
....Tom is an amazing artist!!!❤❤❤
His voice is great....
my cousin has a giutar like that and its class i loved playing it, compared to my own acoustic but my fender strat is the best but I loved that guitar
this is the magic of music
RIP AOL
RIP Macbeth
TOM DELONGE'S VOICE IS MAGIC AND L ) V E
2023 and it still gets me moist
I loveeee how he adds something unique to certain words (:
He's soo perfect.

This song is WAY better acoustic fantastic acoustic performance of do it for me now Tom’s voice is spot on and the band sound great too

The most important thing on the internet. Is there a way to make this into a mural for my room, science where you at
dangg tom sounds great here!!
I hate to say this but i think aol did something to his voice. Sounds amazing tho! i think he always does!
the version of this song makes me cry.
it's so sweet and beautiful
I love this song, they rock!!
I love Matt’s look he gives Tom at the end like Hmph Not bad lol
