@@alexmercer7530 haha I'm a huge blink fan. I saw them live when I was 17 (I'm 31 now) and was shocked how different they sounded having never heard them live before haha
@@alexmercer7530 yea mate definitely. I took my son either last year or the year before to see them (my second time, his first, he was 10 or 11) and he said "dad, is this the real blink 182?" haha. Mark, Tom and Matt can't sing and are not that great at playing live either but Travis is amazing
The entire ep is killer! I haven't stopped listening since I got my preorder link last night! I've been a die hard blink fan for 20 years and this is probably my favorite music Mark has released since blink's self titled... And I LOVE California! Just so different from anything I'm listening to these days. Alex and Mark compliment each other so well!! Is it May yet? I need my vinyl!
Gah I can't freaking wait for the 11th and everything opposite. I just rly rly love this type of music and how it's so far from mainstream yet has such a different sound from bands I usually listen too and I'm just really glad Alex and mark decided to start this
I love listening to simple creatures because this proves that Mark can make so much more than what people can expect from a (still great) blink style song

Thank you for this great piece of music. Awesome, can‘t stop listening this fantastic ep. In a few months they will play in austria. Cant wait to see them live 🔥🔥🔥 the mix out of my absolut favorite bands is so fckn epic (blink, +44, atl)
By far my favorite release to date by simple creatures, the others have not agreed with me as much. Love the line “ You can gasp for air or take the ether ,but hold your breath for both you wont get either” , sounds like something hoppus wrote if i had to guess. It kind of reminds me of plus 44, Mark is awsome lyricist when it comes to darker subjects( songs like no it isn't , little death ect) . I think thats why tom and mark wrote so well together, a union of the pessimist and the optimist ( both just a couple kids that REALLY wanted to start a punk rock group) .
They are literally talking about the process of taking ether wich is a drug that is inhaled it was used as an anesthetic before nitrous oxide aka laughing gas
@@taylereasdon4765 true but it's more of a metaphor for an abusive/bad relationship. taking the breath is breaking free, and while the more painful option, it's the better one long term. taking the ether is numbing the pain and staying in the relationship, which may feel better now, but will just lead to long term damage thats not worth it.
@@c3kile i find it more important to explain the literal meaning behind things so people can make their own inferences. Most great music does not have one specific metaphorical meaning and is open to interpretation. Sure maybe the artist had something specific in mind when they wrote it but its vague for a reason because its art and art is meant to be interpreted.
I never thought a direction like this would work for Alex and Mark, but it does.
My boyfriend loves tom butttt i love Mark. Love this album!! You pulled it off. Love it!! Btw ether is my fav
Mark’s voice is just so amazing
Definitely not when live
Rhys Jones I guess you got a point there 😂
@@alexmercer7530 haha I'm a huge blink fan. I saw them live when I was 17 (I'm 31 now) and was shocked how different they sounded having never heard them live before haha
Rhys Jones yeah I saw blink-182 live for the first when I was 16 (now I’m 18) but I agree with you that they sound different live than the recordings
@@alexmercer7530 yea mate definitely. I took my son either last year or the year before to see them (my second time, his first, he was 10 or 11) and he said "dad, is this the real blink 182?" haha. Mark, Tom and Matt can't sing and are not that great at playing live either but Travis is amazing
"Youth is wasted on the dumb" is my favorite lyric of 2019 so far
I absolutely love this. I love all of the songs on the EP. What the heck. It's all amazing.
PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME GUYS, WHAT THE TRASH-POP GENRE MEANS. THANK YOU :]
@@musick4288 means very cheap sounding pop with no musical talent required. Catchy electropop but very generic, overproduction, etc
All her signals are getting lost in the ether 🎶
That's what she wanted
She's a landslide who has the city beneath her
I realy love that one! Je l'aime vraiment :D

The entire California album has been on my daily playlists since it came out. Mark is great! I love how he's evolving.
When it's late at night and I'm deep in thought, Mark is always there for me
I know right? He's there with his voice. This song is such an underrated gem.
I really like this band hell I think this will be this generations green day
Gah I can't freaking wait for the 11th and everything opposite. I just rly rly love this type of music and how it's so far from mainstream yet has such a different sound from bands I usually listen too and I'm just really glad Alex and mark decided to start this
0:00 love it lol
This is my fave song on the EP tbh
I'm just waiting till Hayley, Patrick, Gerard and Brendon join this band
I squealed.
@Alexander Lee 😁😂😕😭
What about Brandon, Derryck, Avril, Billy-Joe, Mike?
@@Jan_ne That'd be awesome too!
That would be absolutely epic!!!! Also include Billie and Tyler
Well written pop music! So nicely mixed aswell. Not overly compresed like the california album! Good job guys
The verses always make me smile, but then the chorus comes in and I’m like, this is what good music sounds like😭❤️🌟
I was listenjng to rap and a ad came on for these guys and wow im definitely addicted to the band. Hella good
Getting increasingly more proud of these guys the more I hear
did not expect to love this EP so much tbh
I love listening to simple creatures because this proves that Mark can make so much more than what people can expect from a (still great) blink style song
Probably my new favorite song by you guys
They just keep getting better!!! I'm so happy!!
This trash-pop stuff is so weird but so awesome
José Velastegui might just be my new favorite genre
@raiden z k
@raiden z k
Trash pop isn't an actual thing. The whole EP is just new wave/synthpop mixed with modern pop rock
@raiden z r/whoosh
This is my favorite song off the EP
Best song of the whole album! Who thinks the same?
Agree, Kinda vibey and stands out more
I love this new band, i love u guys🖤
I'm addicted to this song...
Me too
I’m so in love with this song!
"hold your breath FOR both" - at least the "booklet" of the vinyl says that.
Absolutely in love with this ep
I LOVE THIS BAND SM
I´m listening this from Medellín, Colombia (South America). This project begins to expand! :)
I'm from Colombia too
This song is just amazing
Simple Creatures - Ether - Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Leave me in the mornin'
I'm tryin' not to run away
Youth is wasted on the dumb
She caught me with a ricochet
Somebody knows somethin'
I swore to God I wouldn't say
And every night I'm fallin' down
Through the bottom of the Milky Way
[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
I'm just one drop in the ocean
I'm just one fish in the sea
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
You can gasp for air or take the ether
Hold your breath for both, you won't get either
You can gasp for air or take the ether
Hold your breath for both, you won't get either
[Verse 2: Alex Gaskarth]
Somethin' doesn't feel right
I don't like the look of things
A city in the rearview
Buried now in memories
Cross another state line
Check in on my mental state
Find another skeleton
Take it out and decorate
[Pre-Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
I'm just one drop in the ocean
I'm just one fish in the sea
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
You can gasp for air or take the ether
Hold your breath for both, you won't get either
You can gasp for air or take the ether
Hold your breath for both, hold your breath for both
[Bridge: Alex Gaskarth]
You won't get either
You won't get either
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Alex Gaskarth]
You can gasp for air or take the ether
(Or take the ether)
Hold your breath for both, you won't get either
(You won't get either)
You can gasp for air or take the ether
(Or take the ether)
Hold your breath for both, you won't get either
(You won't get either)
I listen to almost every song and I already love it
So good.
Thank you for this great piece of music. Awesome, can‘t stop listening this fantastic ep. In a few months they will play in austria. Cant wait to see them live 🔥🔥🔥 the mix out of my absolut favorite bands is so fckn epic (blink, +44, atl)
Best song on the EP!
This song has an almost electronic sound to it I like that it’s cool I never even knew Mark had this band until earlier this morning lol 😂
Six seconds into the song sounds like the menu music from Assassins Creed: Origins. Also, I Love this entire EP!

Vocals 😍
I am SO HERE for Trash Pop 😤
I love you Mark !!! 🙌🙌🙌

Best song from the EP
Cheers from Argentina!
This mixing. Yes.
36th comment and Im your biggest fan I love your music a lot!
This could totally be blink. That's the exact kind of direction it should take. Damn it's so good!
What an awesome sound 😍😀
I love how they split this up
This stuff is sick. I love it.
My heart 😭😍
It's completely amazing
YASSS GET IT MARK!!
Love this song
I got an exam tomorrow but I'm here. :'^)
How did it go?
Idk why but I like to listen to simple creatures at night while looking at the stars when I can't sleep. Don't think I'm weird lol
This gives me religious dark pop vibes along with acoustic & electric guitar
I wasn't at school this time. Thanks.
Yess!!!!
THIS IS SO GOOD!!??
This is really good. Nice Alex and Mark
How nice waking up to this notification. Absolutely love it 🙌🏻
Keep on uploading creatures 😊
I'm shuffling one by one 🔥
THIS IS SO GOOD
I LOVE THIS
Simple Creatures is pretty much Marks Angels & Airwaves
+44? 🤔
@@burty84 No, +44 was way closer to blink. Simple Creatures is way more experimental like AVA is.
I love it! Keep it up guys 👏🙌🏽
Its amazing
Yeah baby!!
AMAZING!!!!!!!
OH MY GOD WTF THIS IS AMAZING
THIS IS SO GOOD 💓
Don't fuck up, this has to be a single.
Love this! Oh shit!
This is great
This is nice :)
Take the ether!
Does any music producer know how this particular sound at 1:09 is made ?
@S_H_R_E_S_H Thanks ! Is it distorted with effects or is it a sound I can find somewhere ? (As a VST)
@S_H_R_E_S_H Thanks a lot =)
What the f, I just open Yt expecting nothing then I see one- no two- THREE Simple Creatures videos
Yes yes yesssss
Awesome
Hype
Umm yes please!!❤❤
It’s too late to pay attention to the lyrics, I’m too confused lmao
