As someone who has actually been through war at a young age and who has seen what it does to people, they hit the mark with this song. Tom's emotion makes me almost cry because it is exactly what it feels like when you've actually experienced what he's singing about in real life. "Why won't you tell me that it's almost over? Why must this tear my head inside out?" I feel this song in every cell in my body
@@Lyris-XVII I know what you're talking about, but that's not for the snare. They did do things like that for a lot of the weirder-sounding percussion bits on this album though.
Cried the first time listening to this song. Never been into AVA, huge Blink fan since late 90s, but never gave Ava a try. Change my opinion, ava is criminally underrated!
I fucking love this band. I hit many low points and even lowest of the lows (several times) but I found this band at the right time and I'm still here. I wish it was the cure-all to my mental health, but that takes a lot of fucking work and at least I have support 🤟❤️
It was also quite literally about the War in Iraq, because Tom's brother was a soldier in that war at the time this album released. It was a pointless war that should have ended before it even began, and Tom has been vocally anti-war for decades.
Saw them in concert a decade ago, early 20s - now I’m a mum and feel like a different person to that 20 year old. Still love the music though, that doesn’t change!
Holy crap, such an eerie song: And the houses laid out like targets With the deafening sound We watched them all go down And the families now useless bodies They lay still black and blue A gift from us to you
Never realized Tom's voice really still sounded like the blink days vox. But when this came out I thought his voice was so different... Anyways still an amazing album. RIP critter
I remember thinking too "Wow, he sounds quite mature here." He was purposely trying to sing lower and more from his diaphragm which helps, but this was definitely the last record we heard that real trademark Tom pitch.
Thomas Delodge is the best..." Do you want this... believe" " Why won't you tell me that it's almost over" it has more meaning to me than anyone else will ever know...
The ocean is on fire, the sky turned dark again as the boats came in And the beaches, streched out with soldiers With their arms and guns it has just begun Believe You want this Believe I want this too Why won't you tell me that It's almost over Why must this tear my head Inside out And the houses laid out like targets With the deafening sound We watched them all go down And the families now useless bodies They lay still black and blue A gift from us to you Believe, You want this Believe, I want this too Why won't you tell me that It's almost over Why must this tear my head Inside out Believe Believe You want this too Why won't you tell me that It's almost over Why must this tear my head Inside out Why won't you tell me that It's almost over Why must this tear my head Inside out
I liked the music when I was younger and thought this was analogous to my not-so-bad life that I thought was terrible Today their music resonates with me on the information war we're fighting. The largest psy-op and sting operation are in progress right now and it's great to be alive
I’ve never listened to this band, but my teacher likes them and he would play their music in class. After hearing this one a few times I thought it was really catchy and here I am!
I really liked Tom's singing voice not only on this song but on the whole WDNTW album, I sometimes wonder in an alternate universe what it would be like if his singing voice stayed this way for the rest of his life.
That rare time a real warm beautiful smell of nature passes by you and fills you with some amazing new feelings that get you through a while longer here even though it is beyond terrible
2022 still here , forever and ever , never forget , why won t u tell me that it s over , 'cause it will never end , scream more strong , let me feel how u know again , u re our flag , our summers and every sunset during our endless day.

Hi there. :) In all courteousness, you are going on tour: that is superiorly AWESOME! :) Congratulations and we hope you have an excellent, most excellent time. The Paradise Rock Club is a pre-eminent venue as well. Wise choice with that, great acoustics, great feel. If you have not played it or attended as a fan for good music, you will still be confidently in your own skin throughout the club, truly. Congratulations again! We love you--may the lightness follow you! Thx! :D 🐿 🍳
I remember listening to this album everyday with my husband when we first started dating We've been together for 14 years. I can hardly believe it. Our favorite song was A Little's Enough.
They had a video with soldiers storming a beach but the most popular vid for this song when it came out was a Eureka Seven tribute vid for some reason XD
That video on the beach is not Saving Private Ryan like Curtis said. It is an AVA video for this song. It's at the start of the Start the Machine DVD Documentary they made for the making of this album. You can catch it here /watch?v=kVLytKp_Uj0 , the video for the War starts at 4:44
“WHY must this…
TEAR my *yead…*
IN-siiide ouuut…”
It’s surprising the he used the correct pronunciation on this one lol!
Still hits as strong as ever
even willy wonka likes angels and airwaves
The passion in his voice in the chorus is sooo good
As someone who has actually been through war at a young age and who has seen what it does to people, they hit the mark with this song. Tom's emotion makes me almost cry because it is exactly what it feels like when you've actually experienced what he's singing about in real life.
"Why won't you tell me that it's almost over? Why must this tear my head inside out?"
I feel this song in every cell in my body
Who agrees this is one of the greatest songs of all time
Me
not me
Me
all thier songs are tho
Absolutely.
Its 2019 and I still listen to this daily, such a massive drum sound
Dude, same
2006 when it all started.
Magic all round
The snare is actually a draw being shut and they distorted it
@@Lyris-XVII I know what you're talking about, but that's not for the snare. They did do things like that for a lot of the weirder-sounding percussion bits on this album though.
Opening riff still to this day is an insannnne groove.
Yeah. I love this opening riff
Cried the first time listening to this song. Never been into AVA, huge Blink fan since late 90s, but never gave Ava a try. Change my opinion, ava is criminally underrated!

❤❤❤
I just realised how much this sounds like box car racer
watch the world by BCR
Faaaaacts
2 different bands, same front-man singer ;)
@@Seabee156 Well Tom did say that AVA was a continuation of Box Car Racer
Josh Hanson So you mean to tell me that for 13 years this was Boxcar Racer?! HOLY SHIT!
I interpret this song as describing the war we fight within ourselves in our minds and souls. It’s beautiful.
It was also quite literally about the War in Iraq, because Tom's brother was a soldier in that war at the time this album released.
It was a pointless war that should have ended before it even began, and Tom has been vocally anti-war for decades.
One of their best
Its great but wouldnt say its there best
*their
*their
*their
*their
Always have been a fan of this song ever since 07-08 when it was the soundtrack to the reality show MTV's Two-a-days at Hoover High
man im surpirsied this hasnt got more looks! its where i got the song from fuck lol those bangs they had
This came out 2005
i miss that show
Every time I go down to Orange Beach, Alabama I play this once I hit the Birmingham/Hoover area on I-65🤌 Will be doing that in 12 days
Still hits hard. Love this song
This song is my banger🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I can’t believe how good this song would be yes if I was in there, but it’s one of the greatest songs of all time
Saw them in concert a decade ago, early 20s - now I’m a mum and feel like a different person to that 20 year old. Still love the music though, that doesn’t change!
Holy crap, such an eerie song:
And the houses laid out like targets
With the deafening sound
We watched them all go down
And the families now useless bodies
They lay still black and blue
A gift from us to you
😴
This comment came up right on cue when I was listening lol crazy
Angels and Airwaves ahead of their time it will be years and years before credit is given.
I can feel his emotions in the chorus
Never realized Tom's voice really still sounded like the blink days vox. But when this came out I thought his voice was so different... Anyways still an amazing album. RIP critter
I remember thinking too "Wow, he sounds quite mature here." He was purposely trying to sing lower and more from his diaphragm which helps, but this was definitely the last record we heard that real trademark Tom pitch.
I love the part towards the end starting from 3:02- 3:22. something special about it to me.
2024 and still a banger
This songs reminds me of Two-A-Days
Joshua Foxworth It is the opening theme song to Two-A-Days.
Yes
Thomas Delodge is the best..." Do you want this... believe" " Why won't you tell me that it's almost over" it has more meaning to me than anyone else will ever know...
Tom "Shack" DeLodge
delodge
To me this is a continuation of "Aliens Exists"
Isn’t this song in the same spirit than « Your Bestfriend is not your girlfriend »? About his buddy’s girl that treated him poorly or something
@@KeertikaAndFallenTree Exactly...I mean to put that line in too... cause I've always said that...." Your best friend is not your girlfriend"
The ocean is on fire, the sky turned dark again as the boats came in
And the beaches, streched out with soldiers
With their arms and guns it has just begun
Believe
You want this
Believe
I want this too
Why won't you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this tear my head
Inside out
And the houses laid out like targets
With the deafening sound
We watched them all go down
And the families now useless bodies
They lay still black and blue
A gift from us to you
Believe,
You want this
Believe,
I want this too
Why won't you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this tear my head
Inside out
Believe
Believe
You want this too
Why won't you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this tear my head
Inside out
Why won't you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this tear my head
Inside out
Beautiful 👌
Frank Ocean
People like u... (L)
Believe!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I spent all day trying to remember this song! So happy I found it!!
Loser
A classic :)
Oh ohhhh ohh oh ohhh
2021 still here for the memories of 2006
Gawd damn 😢
Wow, this album was such a big part of my life a long time ago. I completely forgot about it, and just found it again. All the feels.
I love the war such a powerful song
I liked the music when I was younger and thought this was analogous to my not-so-bad life that I thought was terrible
Today their music resonates with me on the information war we're fighting.
The largest psy-op and sting operation are in progress right now and it's great to be alive
I’ve never listened to this band, but my teacher likes them and he would play their music in class. After hearing this one a few times I thought it was really catchy and here I am!
Nice. You make me feel old. But i am now acceptinged it. :D
well. Here we are. The ocean is on fire.
This was a good song
Aliens baby!
Amazing group very underrated! 🌈💯👽👽👽💚
Throwback to two days at Hoover high anyone?
i used to listen to this at like 8 years old while i played call of duty and it got me into this style of music
Of all the spin-offs from Blink, this is one of the best
one of my all time ava faves.
Thoughts on 'do it for me now'?
@@zXHawkxEyeXz pretty good
this song is so fucking good
I really liked Tom's singing voice not only on this song but on the whole WDNTW album, I sometimes wonder in an alternate universe what it would be like if his singing voice stayed this way for the rest of his life.
Imagine a song like Overload or Kiss and Tell with this voice... maaaan
Really sad because he is a fucking amazing song writter.
Still think this is one of the greatest songs oh the feels
That rare time a real warm beautiful smell of nature passes by you and fills you with some amazing new feelings that get you through a while longer here even though it is beyond terrible
i can never decide which song is my favorite of theirs bc i love them all so much
The drum and guitar effect was the reason why im still listen to this song for my daily life, thanks Tom i love this song 🤘
"the ocean is on fire" this song was ahead of its time
Why? The Atlantic is rapidly cooling.
@@daddyof3gaming522 I think when I wrote this comment there was like an oil spill that caught on fire in the ocean
2021 and I am stoked I found this again
You should hear some of there other songs
The best song by Ava
Tom is truly wonderful human ❤️
2022 still here , forever and ever , never forget , why won t u tell me that it s over , 'cause it will never end , scream more strong , let me feel how u know again , u re our flag , our summers and every sunset during our endless day.
Who's listening to this amazing song and group in 2021 me
I'm so grateful that i saw that making of dvd piece.
I now appreciate more the drum pieces.
Didn't knew how well written they were.
I just hope that AVA won't get burried after Toms return to Blink. Both bands are good in their waym but I would miss AvA
Damn this song still smacks
And the houses laid out like targets with the deafening sound we watch them all go down
Fav song from the album.
☮
so powerful
I love this song!!! The guitar sound great!!!
Angel's and airwaves greatest
Greatest Hits
2021 and the song is hitting more and more.
nice
Still here in 2019 ❤️ Tom i f...... love you man
2023. Still hear my bud trying the tom voice
Simply always i loved that song.
The long forgotten Two-A-Days
Still a Hoover Buc fan even though I'm not from Alabama and nor did I go to Hoover High.
I love this group😍
Great song
Lyrics:
The ocean, is on fire
The sky turned dark again
As the boats came in
And the beaches
Stretched out with soldiers
With their arms and guns
It has just begun
Believe, you want this
Believe, I want this too
Why won't you tell me that
It's almost over?
Why must this
Tear my head
Inside out?
And the houses
Laid out like targets
With the deafening sound
We watched them all go down
And the families
Now useless bodies
They lay still black and blue
A gift from us to you
Believe, you want this?
Believe, do I want this too?
Why won't you tell me that
It's almost over?
Why must this
Tear my head
Inside out?
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh (Believe)
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh (Believe, you want this too)
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Why won't you tell me that
It's almost over?
Why must this
Tear my head
Inside out?
Why won't you tell me that
It's almost over?
Why must this
Tear my head
Inside out?
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh

my favorite song in this record
2012 when me and the missus first got together, this always brings me back. Good music never dies 💪 keep jammin'
I remember listening to this album everyday with my husband when we first started dating
We've been together for 14 years. I can hardly believe it. Our favorite song was A Little's Enough.
Dang this is a great song.
Circa 2007, college days.. ▶️ in my Ipod Nano. 🤙
Haven’t heard this in forever, still good
Somehow, better than The Adventure. :D
I love this
He really does know the secret. They coming, JWST spotted them, and the marines gonna give em hell. Just watch it unfold, Tom is a prophet. ❤❤❤❤
👽👽🚀🚀🌠🛸 Best song ever
Blue angels
The most underrated song from AvA
I’ve just been listening to Space Age Love Song by Flock of Seagulls. You can definitely hear their influence on AVA! So cool.
sick asss song, smooth vibes
2019🎧..Believee.....👊🏼✊🏼
Amazing!
After last days, that song is so fucking sad and terrifying. No war. 🇺🇦
Such a great Song!!!
Anyone remember they had a music video for this on the beach fighting some sort of battle ????? I could've swore they had one when I was a kid
I do, I believe the music video is still on RUclips, but I could be wrong.
The video music video your thinking of was fan made, it was the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan if I remember correctly
They had a video with soldiers storming a beach but the most popular vid for this song when it came out was a Eureka Seven tribute vid for some reason XD
That video on the beach is not Saving Private Ryan like Curtis said. It is an AVA video for this song. It's at the start of the Start the Machine DVD Documentary they made for the making of this album. You can catch it here /watch?v=kVLytKp_Uj0 , the video for the War starts at 4:44
It was from the start the machine documentary I think
Here from 2019 but I still play my CD’s 💿
This HAS to be on the set list for the upcoming tour. I will loose my shit when this riff breaks out. Lol
They kill it live! And played this one.
Two a days on mtv introduced me to this song
Best song
One of My favorite songs
THE WAR 🤘💥🔥
the ultimative ww2 gamer music, still going for 500 years
With the situation going on between Russia and the Ukraine, I can't help but listen to this.
Rebel Girl bought me here
You have much to learn , little grasshopper.
AVA Is amazing!!!
In 2022 still going strong this music never gets old
The nostalgia 😍
Velocity Face To Face. 🥁
2020. Still miss it
