"Music is good when it makes you dance but music is great when it makes you who you are" Tom, your band is inspiration, is part of me... Thanks AVA!!! COME TO MEXICO, PLEASE!!! 🙏
WDNTW is my all time favorite album and means so much to me. It has inspired me and lifted me up guiding me through dark times in the past and to this day is one of my most played albums. To have some of these songs re-release like this so beautifully by Tom himself is amazing and has me time traveling to being 16 again.
My daughter will be here in 3 more days... I cannot wait to share these amazing pieces of art with her. Thank you for the constant flow of inspiration Mr. Delonge. I believe your reach extends much further than you will ever know. 👽
Tom, I never knew how many layers there were to you. I have a large appreciation of you and everything you are trying to do. Im glad you are walking your path and no one else's. I have no hate for blink 182, and a huge appreciation of AVA. Never stay always push for some type of evolution of the mind, body, and most importantly your soul. I will continually pray for peace and happiness for you and all you plan tah do. The fact you have held onto your inner child is the thing I admire most. When we grow up we are taught to put all of our childish things to sleep. I think its absolute rubbish. When you do that your creativity and dreams get put on hold for jobs, and bills. I say fuck that! Im most definitely going to adopt the Delonge methodolgy from here on out. I wish your family and you a great life and a great after life. Keep fighting the good fight sir.
I know you probably wont personally see this or reply, but Sarah (my wife) adores both bands and you guys have brought her much joy. I hope to see you guys in Missouri or Illinois, Id like to shake your hand and just talk to you and the guys for even a minute. Heres to hoping, 👊
There will be acoustic versions of the rest of the album I just don't know when it'll all be released. Plus Tom as said on many occasions that it's a "full album"
Man time flies I remember listening to this song so many times all night long when I was 13 and 14 I'm 21 now but I'll never forget those nights all the nights I snuck out listening to this song with my friends and by myself when I couldn't sleep :) Tom will always be my favorite person and musician and inspiration he made me want to actually become a better musician
my daughter and my husband are sleeping now and here i am at 1:22am listening to this song closing my eyes, so dark ahh still giving me the same feeling the first time i heard this. i feel my body is so light and my mind is somewhere sooo peaceful.
Tom, every piece of you intrigues me more and more each time you show us more of yourself. You're an incredible person and you inspire me to do all that I can to become who I want to be. Thank you for blink-182, thank you for Box Car Racer, thank you, thank you, thank you for Angels And Airwaves. You've turned my life around. I hope you can achieve everything that makes you happy in life. Love and respect to you. -Kira
Mark just wants to do the same thing for ever, Probably a comfort thing, but i think tom is more in love in with music during the ava days. pure freedom
I completely agree...in some ways, Mark has, but in his music, it's remained stagnant towards the 14-17 age demographic. Gimme a break. I think Tom is still going through his transition, but he's making waves
J F I know it's sad to see mark and Travis is stuck in the past like they don't want to grow up at all but I'm sure glad Tom did I always knew there was something special about him that made him different from mark and Travis in blink and I've had the pleasure of being alive during toms era to see him grow as a musician :)
Tom and all the AvA family, i just wanted to truly show my appreciation and thank you for sharing us this beautiful piece of art. I've been through a really hard phase in these past few years but you guys reminded me that with all the bullshit life throws at you, at the end what you really need is something that you believe in. I've listened to your songs since the beginning, went to your show in Jakarta and i wanted to say that they have helped me through a lot of things. Every time life gave me one of its bullshit, you are the guys that I've always came back to. You've inspired me to follow your footsteps, making a difference to the world, to make it a better place. Of course reality will spit you on the face, it will give you doubts, make you question what you're doing but f**k it. You guys are such an inspiration and I wanted to tell you that you guys are really making a difference. I will follow your spirit, to change the world one step at a time to make it a better place. THANK YOU. Cheers from Indonesia.
I love and respect angels and airwaves so much..they pass such a positive messge in their songs but they also feel like a pat on your shoulder when you're down and sad...
Este es el tipo de música que quiero, crecí con blink desde los 11 años y ahora que tengo 25 esta música tiene más sentido que los dos discos de California juntos... Es muy padre ver que los artistas con los que creciste también lo hicieron.
I have to say, there are so many songs from Tom that have made me decide music is what I want to do. Songs like I miss you, all the small things, there is, up all night, alway, do it for me now, secret crowds and many others. I hope to not only see a blink reunion, but an angels and airwaves true new album. We don’t need to whisper is always the best AVA album
Lyrics; 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)
I've been waiting so long to hear these, I love them just as much as the first time I heard them all those years ago! Thank you so so much. You're an absolute inspiration and have well and truly changed my life. Keep it up! 🎸😍
"We don't need to whisper" is the best, is a magic album.
I needed this more than Tom will ever know. 2016-2017 has been brutal to the heart
I can relate man. After some of the worst times of my life in the past year this couldn't have come sooner. We're all gonna make it bro
Thomas Schenck yup
Thomas and Sean, you guys have helped me because of your comments. Thank you.
this fuking awesome .. pure love for AVA
Whenever I hear this song my heart gets on Fire for God --- pray for your souls and God watches over us :) good luck Thomas I will pray for ya
"Music is good when it makes you dance but music is great when it makes you who you are"
Tom, your band is inspiration, is part of me... Thanks AVA!!!
COME TO MEXICO, PLEASE!!! 🙏
Thats a great quote I feel like that with all of Tom's band, blink 182, Boxcar Racer and Ava
hes going to mexico now!
Anyone else think Do It For Me Now is the best AVA song they have made so far?
jacobprucha absolutely. No fucking question.
Indeed. true masterpiece
He did it once live on A.O.L live sessions , I have had on my permanent playlist ever since :)
The lyrics are amongst the best ever : "Like the time that we kissed and you gave me a lie, to add to the scene, you pretended to cry", pure genius !
Old school!!
Tom delonge your music is fucking amazing!!
WDNTW is my all time favorite album and means so much to me. It has inspired me and lifted me up guiding me through dark times in the past and to this day is one of my most played albums. To have some of these songs re-release like this so beautifully by Tom himself is amazing and has me time traveling to being 16 again.
Acoustic versions of two of my favorite Angels & Airwaves songs released together? Fuck yes.
Alpha_Doom
You and me both, bud.
My daughter will be here in 3 more days... I cannot wait to share these amazing pieces of art with her. Thank you for the constant flow of inspiration Mr. Delonge. I believe your reach extends much further than you will ever know. 👽
Sto-ik The Poet congratulations two yrs late my lil girl Ava is 9 yrs old and we jam to angels and airwaves you’ll love the jamming time
I think maybe he does know man, hope your life is good.
space rock right ?enjoy the missile rock
If I ever have a daughter I want to name her Ava
I’m actually crying, the nostalgia from this is over whelming.
I get nostalgia like that too from old music. Don't cry but tears start crawling down my cheek from the joy
Thanks tom for motivating us all these years
I'm so happy you are back, tears of joy. I only wish you can tour For Me Now.
PUNK Roc boy shut yo sensitive ass up
nevermind I just cried
Dude, you didn't get the joke. It was him saying "Pfft.. This guy's so sensitive.. Oh wait. Never mind, I'm crying too..."
Thank you lmao
Did anyone else got chills with the "hold on to me"? Fucking beautiful!
Tom, I never knew how many layers there were to you. I have a large appreciation of you and everything you are trying to do. Im glad you are walking your path and no one else's.

James Daniels c'mon Tom, we know you care about the fans
*do it for him now*
Tom, Do it for him now!
What a beautiful comment. I agree with you 100% !!
cmon tom
This is wonderful. Can't fucking wait to hear the acoustic version of the gift.
tyxja I was just thinking the same thing
Or start the machine
tyxja they already made it long time ago
There will be acoustic versions of the rest of the album I just don't know when it'll all be released. Plus Tom as said on many occasions that it's a "full album"
On his instagram he gave a sneak peak at a little's enough which isn't on the EP, so this supports the fact more is to come
it needs like a billion views
wtf is wrong with people taste these day?
Man time flies I remember listening to this song so many times all night long when I was 13 and 14 I'm 21 now but I'll never forget those nights all the nights I snuck out listening to this song with my friends and by myself when I couldn't sleep :) Tom will always be my favorite person and musician and inspiration he made me want to actually become a better musician

oo man.. gonna play this like a hundred times, looping until fell asleep...
Love the intro. The rhythm kinda sounds like even if she falls
Tom, every piece of you intrigues me more and more each time you show us more of yourself. You're an incredible person and you inspire me to do all that I can to become who I want to be. Thank you for blink-182, thank you for Box Car Racer, thank you, thank you, thank you for Angels And Airwaves. You've turned my life around. I hope you can achieve everything that makes you happy in life. Love and respect to you.
-Kira
Finally i can listen you singing again... :)
No disrespect towards Mark, but Tom wanted to grow up and he has.
Mark just wants to do the same thing for ever, Probably a comfort thing, but i think tom is more in love in with music during the ava days. pure freedom
And mark is still a 40 year old kid
I completely agree...in some ways, Mark has, but in his music, it's remained stagnant towards the 14-17 age demographic. Gimme a break. I think Tom is still going through his transition, but he's making waves
Mike Santoro the funny part is that as a 17 year old, California sounds childish compared to Chesire Cat - Dogs Eating Dogs
J F I know it's sad to see mark and Travis is stuck in the past like they don't want to grow up at all but I'm sure glad Tom did I always knew there was something special about him that made him different from mark and Travis in blink and I've had the pleasure of being alive during toms era to see him grow as a musician :)

Forever my favorite band, i really appreciate every song you have done. I hope that some day i can finally ear some live in Chile
I'm lost without you, Down and I Miss You acoustic would be very good
I LOVE IT ;)
I really miss you guys, no matter what's trending now, just create something you love!
Song almost made me tear up a lil first time I heard it, so beautifully raw and unstripped
Do it for me meow, meow, meow....
GAH! WHY!@
Hold on, hold on to meeee❤️
Man i loved the AOL sessions so this is just amazing.
I'm so happy there's an acoustic version of this song, done beautifully too. THANK YOU.
This is pure masterpiece. Cant wait for the whole album.
The best acoustic album I heard
Ahhhhhhh.....Blissful sounds to ones ear drums...Love it.:)
This is the best of the 4 acoustic songs released
Ok, I like really love the"hold on" echoes. Beautiful
Beautiful!
Fucking b-e-a-utiful. Tom your voice is magic to my ears. no homo... maybe a little.
Manitoba WPGJETS Matt has a good voice and he is a good musician. I'm just a huge fan of Tom and everything he has done.
Manitoba WPGJETS not to hate but his voices sounds almost as same as mark, that makes blink 182 lost its soul (in my opinion)
Manitoba WPGJETS he sounds like a country singer trying to be punk.
AJTrecords
Amen
His voice fucking is magical! I feel you
This is so great. Nostalgic
BEST SURPRISE EVER EVER EVER I LOVE THESE ACOUSTIC VERSIONS I AM CRYING RIGHT NOW. THANM You AvA
I love and respect angels and airwaves so much..they pass such a positive messge in their songs but they also feel like a pat on your shoulder when you're down and sad...
still the best, your magic never disappears
Man, I love your voice so much.
I wasnt ready for both songs at once
Este es el tipo de música que quiero, crecí con blink desde los 11 años y ahora que tengo 25 esta música tiene más sentido que los dos discos de California juntos... Es muy padre ver que los artistas con los que creciste también lo hicieron.
I loved the sessions at aol version, now this too.
I like the deep tom voice
I have to say, there are so many songs from Tom that have made me decide music is what I want to do. Songs like I miss you, all the small things, there is, up all night, alway, do it for me now, secret crowds and many others. I hope to not only see a blink reunion, but an angels and airwaves true new album. We don’t need to whisper is always the best AVA album
And I Empire
Yes and I empire. They were both amazing compared to what came after
Talk about an eargasim what a great throw back

Lyrics;
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)
Omg i love it and im only 10 seconds in
What a beautiful Art 😍😍😍 I love Angels and Airwaves ❤
