Travis Barker: "The keyboards in the beginning remind me of Pink Floyd or Failure. I think the choruses are really big and lyrically it's something everyone can relate to. We recorded two drum sets for the outro. One whole track, and then I played to the click. Then I played until I couldn't stop playing. It was something we always wanted to do, but never got around to."

Tom DeLonge: "The original idea for this song was to have the chorus be the verse and have there be no chorus, just gigantic, heavy guitars. We worked on this song for about 6 months and it kept just getting better and better, and stranger and stranger. This song is one that could only be fully realized when listened to with headphones. To hear the 50 or so tracks that were recorded on this song, you need a dim room and a somber mood. As the song ends, two drum sets play off of each other and take you to a different place, as does each of the verses that were recorded separately form each other. One of which was a 1960s effect by singing through a rotating speaker. It sounds like I'm underwater but it's f--king cool. The feedback in the middle of the song was a one take art form of making the guitar song really tweaked and ugly. I say art form because to make the guitar sound that way, you constantly have to twist and turn it like an acrobat on drugs." (thanks, dsadsa - dsa, United States, for above 2)

Delonge: "It is really complex to describe this song because it starts with loopings and all sorts of electronic ambiances. The first and a half minute, there's nothing but piano with my voice over. And then the song goes in the total opposite way and explodes with 11 different sorts of guitars, big crazy breaks. There are feedbacks, just like Radiohead's and then follows two drums which play different rhythms for 3 or 4 minutes. It is a really romantic song: 'Are you afraid of being alone because I am. I'm lost without you' which repeats itself. It is a really trance and hypnotic song, so cool to listen to with headphones. There is no better way to appreciate it than to sit back and take your time in order to understand all these little things we've done for your ears." (thanks, Tim - Pittsburgh, PA)

Comments:

Was this song made for a vampire movie? If not, it shouldda bec besides the fact that the music is beautifully haunting, I actually thought the lyrics said, "Give me your NECK and with one kiss we begin..." Plus, the lines "I swear that I can go on forever again" and "I'll leave my room open till sunrise for you" both refer to vampire activities. BTW, I'm not into vampires, I just have a very creative imagination. Just saying ;)

i met this girl and I heard a voice say 'you'd be lost without her' the voice seemed to be head central not this side or that -- a good omen? find me if interested in voice discernment.

I really like this song because it's my friends and my song. It's a really nice song, and the piano in it is just sooooo awsome! The words are just really sweet, and the way Tom sings it what makes the song so wicked. I love Tom! And Mark!<3 =]

This song brings a tear to my eye everytime i hear it

It is such a shame Blink-182 broke up. I was listening to this song while reading all this stuff about Blink-182 and comments people made and it was really hard to not cry. I think we're ALL lost without Blink-182, if you can relate to that at all. I believe it a little bit...

Last night I was listening to this whole CD, and I have has this CD for awhile, but I never took the time to listen to this song. (ie, last night was the first time I heard it) It is the most beautiful slow song I have ever heard! It is such a pretty song. It reminds me a little of my ex.
- Alex , Loveland, CO

This song reminds me of my ex girlfriend , her name was lile, and she left me 3 months ago, but anyways, in the past when our relationship was called deep love, she dedicated that song to me, and till now i hurt everytime i hear it, because im am lost without her, thanks blink for writing this song.... i hope lile can come back to my life i miss her so much
- Jonathan , Houston , TX

this song is ace! you can tell that he really doesn't want this girl to leave and how sad he feels by how 'i'm lost without you' has been repeated so many times throughout the song. i <3 tom.
- Rachel , Hull, England

- Sarah , Victoria, Canada

This is my ex boyfriend and my song it reminds me of him every time i listen to it witch is sometimes really depressing but i just have to play it again because it has so much meaning to it. The lyrics are so true i can totly relate to them. The first time i stayed over at his house he sang this song to me and because he sang it to me it made perfect sense that's when i realised i loved him and how great this song is!
- Charlotte , Leeds, England

i love this song, it reminds me of my girlfriend who was just my friend until my dad died then she told we told each other at the funerel how we felt
- tanner , Bakerfield, CA

This is such a stunning song and the album is awesome!! I know people think that they've sold out but I don't think so. They've matured and have only gotten better. Change is scary but not necessarily a bad thing. Here's to many more (hopefully!).
- Azizah , Cape Town , South Africa

- merr , Nova Scotia, Canada
