Almost 32 years old and I'm really debating that this could be my favorite song I've ever heard. I really wish he could get the attention he deserves even on his own. Plus, how does the mainstream deprive millions from hearing his stuff?
He's not really hidden is he? He's Tom DeLonge, His music isn't big for the same reason U2 aren't big anymore, pop is in rock is unfortunatley very much out, the 2000's saw to that. But, like people have said, I like that AvA aren't as big as blink, it makes the band feel more personal.
This version gets me every time.. I might be jumping the gun here but I know Tom went through his separation with Jen who he was with for aaaages in recent years.. This song, especially the chorus is so direct as apposed to his usual lyrics which are usually heavily metaphorical. He put his absolute 100% heart and soul into this and in my head thought it was just too heavy to release as the official version. Either that or it sounds exactly like that other song people have mentioned ;) This mans been inspiring me for the best of 20 years now. I remember reading Blink lyric books as a pre-schooler and i'm now 27 years old. Really hope he's doing as good as he can be and he can take all the time he needs to release the new stuff. Just my 2 cents, not that anybody asked!
I was always crazy in love But the cracks they’re stacking up On a floor and breaking up Going so fast that you can’t catch up What on Earth are you looking for? Anywhere but here you swore Landing you was such a score But keeping you is so much more I will lay awake all night You fall asleep that's how you hide So I play it out inside Silly war games in my mind Hearts play lost and found Drag them up and down It's alright, I’m okay I'm sorry, I’ve been played I know I don’t matter Already moved I think I found better But if you care I’ll never say never It's on me, it's only, A heart broke, a heart bleeds A vicious man killer, but if you care I know I’ll find better But then again I’ll never say never. I was never fond enough Plenty nice not cool enough A little flame or weekend love The kinda guy you fuck then run In the car your claws came out You will yell and take the crown All your words meant awful things Like a kid shoots RPGs When you dance you’re such a tease You move around then shoot to sting Making men weak at the knees Like a kiss from killer bees. Hearts play lost and found Drag them up and down It's alright, I’m okay I'm sorry, I’ve been played I know I don’t matter Already moved I think I found better But if you care I’ll never say never It's on me, it's only, A heart broke, a heart bleeds A vicious man killer, but if you care I know I’ll find better But then again I’ll never say never.
+MrFelipeyw he has his voice, his voice is more similar to self titled era which is my favorite! i dont want him to sound like enema era or something, his voice is more 04 tom, he has his voice, dont bash it
Ian Mccown nowhere near similar to 2003/4 Tom... Things just changed after 2005. I personally think he still has that voice but chooses not to sing like that.
I go back to this every now and then because compared to the official release this demo has alot more feeling to it that it puts me in the mood. I wonder why this wasn't on the album.
Wow, this is so much better than the final version. In my opinion, with a little bit of touch up THIS would have been on par with The Adventure for the best single from Angels. I still like the final version but this is just so good.
This chorus reminds me so much of "Don't waste your time on me. You're already the voice inside my head" Love both!!!! Also this lyrics it is way better than the original version!
This is straight up amazing, both demos are so good, but Tom wouldve been sued immediately because the synth and melody are taken directly from "Heartbeats" by The Knife, which is why this version was never used. Hope this clears up any questions!
At my 17 years old, this song convinced me to get a moon man tattoo. I really love AVA's songs and what beautiful memories when I had been listening this version of The Wolfpack
DeLonge, you are such a talented sob... You area prodigy!!! I love both versions but this is Fkn AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't stop listening to it!! You are incredible!! This is so BADASS!!!!
A lot of things are better about this than the official mix. A lot of emotion and darkness in this one. Plus I really like how robotic the synths sound (probably because they're not finely tuned). What a true gem.
Lyrically, melodic, and rhythmic wise, this demo is far better than the final product that made it to The Dream Walker, in my opinion. Kinda wish Tom stuck with this one all the way through.
he sings higher in this spng then he does in asthenia! thats insane! asthenia was a high song for tom, but he hit higher notes here, this is insane haha
Os corações jogam perdidos e encontrados Arraste-os para cima e para baixo Está tudo bem Estou bem Eu sinto Muito Eu tenho jogado Eu sei que não importa Já mudou, acho que me sinto melhor Mas se você se importa, eu nunca vou dizer nunca Está em mim É só Uma queimadura de coração A ouvir sangrar Um assassino de homem vicioso Mas se você se importar Eu sei que eu iria encontrar melhor Mas, novamente, Eu nunca vou dizer nunca
Shame it couldn't make the album. Pretty obvious Tom was anxious regarding it sounding incredibly like The Knife. (not a criticism by the way!!) Another album please!!
"It's alright, I'm ok, I'm sorry, I've been played, I know I don't matter. Already moved on, I think I feel better. But if you care, I know I'll find better. But then again, I'll never say never."
Disappearing Boy yea defiantly...the final version course is amazing and brings chills everytime I listen to it. In my opinion people hate on the song to much. I just wish the verses (although catchy in the final version) actaully made sense. Other then that I'd take the final version anyday of the week, but these demos are great too
With the stuff that’s out on youtube you can fully recreate the Dream Walker Album as a Demo Album in its order.

NEVER delete this
This version is so much better than the version they decided to release on the record. Man, this hits so hard.
I think the reason it wasn’t like this is cause it sounds too similar to Heartbeats by The Knife
This is by far one of the most saddest, beautiful, upbeat songs he has ever done. It's so real and hits you very hard.
why sad? what's it about?
+ZachOnTheRun being fooled? maybe
if you read ..of nightmares, the poet anderson novel, or the comics..the song is about that. awesome
David Roberts I have read the book actaully. It's a great book. stoked for part to. It's more on the evil entity side.
Almost 32 years old and I'm really debating that this could be my favorite song I've ever heard. I really wish he could get the attention he deserves even on his own. Plus, how does the mainstream deprive millions from hearing his stuff?
because the mainstream sucks. all people care about these days is shitty rap and hip hop and pop
We need to demand it on the request lines.
Dustin Meadows I'm kinda glad he's not big. He's a hidden gem.
He's not really hidden is he?
He's Tom DeLonge, His music isn't big for the same reason U2 aren't big anymore, pop is in rock is unfortunatley very much out, the 2000's saw to that. But, like people have said, I like that AvA aren't as big as blink, it makes the band feel more personal.
come on. I'm 32 too but this song is not even in the Top 20 of AVA. The chorus is terrible.
i felt some tears on that chorus
Yeah I know what you mean. This version of the song is so much more impactful. It hit me like a train
I think it's also the blink feel...
@@gianmarcodeluca6912 true
Gianmarco De Luca very much. Wow
I agree dude I was uggghhh I was trying not to cry :(
I kinda like this version more than the original . It flows better and the melodies sound better to me . He should have built on those verses more
yeah, I think this version tells a better story, but the album version is pretty amazing too!
Problem is, it's a blatant rip off of heartbeats (the knife)
+Matt D usually every song is a ripoff someway somehow
some more obvious than others.
+Jerry Gu very true it's like cmon try to hide it better lol
That chorus is just phenomenal
This version gets me every time.. I might be jumping the gun here but I know Tom went through his separation with Jen who he was with for aaaages in recent years.. This song, especially the chorus is so direct as apposed to his usual lyrics which are usually heavily metaphorical. He put his absolute 100% heart and soul into this and in my head thought it was just too heavy to release as the official version.

Just my 2 cents, not that anybody asked!
nice comment brodie
@@andy_182 Ty man. About to turn 30 years old now, DeLonge forever.
I was always crazy in love
But the cracks they’re stacking up
On a floor and breaking up
Going so fast that you can’t catch up
What on Earth are you looking for?
Anywhere but here you swore
Landing you was such a score
But keeping you is so much more
I will lay awake all night
You fall asleep that's how you hide
So I play it out inside
Silly war games in my mind
Hearts play lost and found
Drag them up and down
It's alright, I’m okay
I'm sorry, I’ve been played
I know I don’t matter
Already moved
I think I found better
But if you care I’ll never say never
It's on me, it's only,
A heart broke, a heart bleeds
A vicious man killer, but if you care
I know I’ll find better
But then again I’ll never say never.
I was never fond enough
Plenty nice not cool enough
A little flame or weekend love
The kinda guy you fuck then run
In the car your claws came out
You will yell and take the crown
All your words meant awful things
Like a kid shoots RPGs
When you dance you’re such a tease
You move around then shoot to sting
Making men weak at the knees
Like a kiss from killer bees.
Hearts play lost and found
Drag them up and down
It's alright, I’m okay
I'm sorry, I’ve been played
I know I don’t matter
Already moved
I think I found better
But if you care I’ll never say never
It's on me, it's only,
A heart broke, a heart bleeds
A vicious man killer, but if you care
I know I’ll find better
But then again I’ll never say never.
Thank you🙏😄
I love how he tried to bring back his old voice during the chorus. it doesn't sound the same as his old voice but it for sure kicks ass and is punk
+Dustin Meadows yep and it is sad as fuck he will never have it back :(
+MrFelipeyw he has his voice, his voice is more similar to self titled era which is my favorite! i dont want him to sound like enema era or something, his voice is more 04 tom, he has his voice, dont bash it
Ian Mccown nowhere near similar to 2003/4 Tom... Things just changed after 2005. I personally think he still has that voice but chooses not to sing like that.
+gromitman09
He fucked up his voice through injuries and opiate addiction
@@Dover939 nope
this is what I've been waiting for since Tom shared the clip of this song 2 years ago on instagram! soooo much better.
right?!
I go back to this every now and then because compared to the official release this demo has alot more feeling to it that it puts me in the mood. I wonder why this wasn't on the album.
Highest Notes of Tom Delonge.
G#4 - Call to Arms
A4 - on Lifeline.
B4 The Wolfpack (demo) it's a New Record!
He's had higher notes. Wayy higher. E.g. Dancing with myself, Good times, The end with you, Go...
Anshu Dwibhashi Dude your naming off parts he sang that are just random outbursts that last less than 5 seconds
Heaven
@@AnshumanDwibhashi Theres some awesome backing vocals in the chorus to "time to break up"
much better then official song actually
+Patrik Zajíc the verse dude... golden
@@MrFelipeyw Problem is the verses are plagiarised from Heartbeats by The Knife. They had to take this song down and re-do it
@@ahorrell Yes, I see it. Still shame, because this just perfect.
Wow, this is so much better than the final version. In my opinion, with a little bit of touch up THIS would have been on par with The Adventure for the best single from Angels. I still like the final version but this is just so good.
he sings higher notes than like stay together, or asthenia! thats insane!!
This really reminds me of “Heartbeats” by The Knife.
It’s a really cool version, even more fitting with the Poet Of Nightmares novel!
Tom knows the song. It was played over the intercom at to the stars a few times.
The intro/verse is identical to Heartbeats by The Knife
lol crazy it really is... wonder how that comes to be.. still far better
This chorus reminds me so much of "Don't waste your time on me. You're already the voice inside my head"
Love both!!!! Also this lyrics it is way better than the original version!
probably one of the best songs ever. blows me away *this* is the demo!
I've always had a close connection with this version.
my favorite artist slash musician for 20 years. always will be and when he dies so will a little piece of me
Wow don't jump the gun there pal. He is still very young
Yeah he's 42 and rich, as long as he doesn't fuck up he'll live for a good while
when tom dies I'm going into a full month of sadness
One of my favourite covers of Heartbeats by The Knife
Probably one of the best songs I have ever heard. I love this version
This is straight up amazing, both demos are so good, but Tom wouldve been sued immediately because the synth and melody are taken directly from "Heartbeats" by The Knife, which is why this version was never used. Hope this clears up any questions!
Where's the lyrics for this song?
@@AS-ps3dm It's an unreleased demo, so chances are very slim on an actual lyric release
man im back here again after 5 yrs still the the best song ive ever heard
At my 17 years old, this song convinced me to get a moon man tattoo. I really love AVA's songs and what beautiful memories when I had been listening this version of The Wolfpack
DeLonge, you are such a talented sob... You area prodigy!!! I love both versions but this is Fkn AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't stop listening to it!! You are incredible!! This is so BADASS!!!!
Finding you is such a score....but keeping you is so much more!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is phenomenal. Words can't fully describe it.
This is fucking amazing.
CyberiusNova Tom Delonge is the best
Can’t help but feel this is the real version of this song
long live AVA...
The verse of this is blatantly "Heartbeats" by The Knife. They had no choice but to change it.
A lot of things are better about this than the official mix. A lot of emotion and darkness in this one. Plus I really like how robotic the synths sound (probably because they're not finely tuned). What a true gem.
You sir are 100@ correct
This was released a year ago yesterday, and I've been listening to it since then, thanks for uploading.
this is a fucking MASTERPIECE!
Dinne Nedo
de Nedo più di osì 'sa devo fa
Wow.. long time since a song give me gooseboomps. Awesome song.
These lyrics are gold compared to the ones on the record. both versions are great, these lyrics tho.
Where can I find the lyrics for this version?
The synth didn't have to go so hard but they Did That
it's really great! thank you for making it! i think the reff from the album version is more perfect to combine from this demo version
Wow. I fucking love this. I wish he mastered this version and released it on the album. The lyrics are so much more piercing
Who's here still listening august '19
2024 my guy
This is SO good!!! :O
My favourite version! Can't stop listening :)
F*cking love this version! So cool!
(It does sound an AWFUL lot like 'Heartbeats' by The Knife, however. Not to take anything away it from though)
sounds like heartbeats from the knife... still awesome :)
The knife . Heartbeats.
Who is listening to this in 2020 still waiting on the new ava to come 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿💯❤️🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿
simply amazing !!
Iv'e listed to this for like an hour straight... still going strong
esta versión es magnifica, totalmente diferente a la versión de estudio, pero la complementa magistralmente!!!
I love this version. I wish the released Wolfpack was the demo.
This is amazing!!!
This is so fkn fire!!!!
Lyrically, melodic, and rhythmic wise, this demo is far better than the final product that made it to The Dream Walker, in my opinion. Kinda wish Tom stuck with this one all the way through.
ugh that first verse is to die for
This is the greatest song of all time.
Love it. Reminds me of how he use to sing on Self Titled.
he sings higher in this spng then he does in asthenia! thats insane! asthenia was a high song for tom, but he hit higher notes here, this is insane haha
reminds me of after midnight a little, love it!
This is the best version
New fav song!!!
P🌙ET
So great
I love this. it's creepy how close the vocals in the verses are to Heartbeats - Jose Gonzales
Jose did the cover. The original is by The Knife
Os corações jogam perdidos e encontrados
Arraste-os para cima e para baixo
Está tudo bem
Estou bem
Eu sinto Muito
Eu tenho jogado
Eu sei que não importa
Já mudou, acho que me sinto melhor
Mas se você se importa, eu nunca vou dizer nunca
Está em mim
É só
Uma queimadura de coração
A ouvir sangrar
Um assassino de homem vicioso
Mas se você se importar
Eu sei que eu iria encontrar melhor
Mas, novamente,
Eu nunca vou dizer nunca
pesado
+MrFelipeyw quase um ano depois, essa música causa o mesmo
These are great!
WOW!
Loving it!!!!
gold
Shame it couldn't make the album. Pretty obvious Tom was anxious regarding it sounding incredibly like The Knife. (not a criticism by the way!!) Another album please!!
i think the official version sounds more like the knife! but i love this version
Is it heartbeat by ṭhe knive
Good stuff dude
I LIKE IT
This version is the best!
"It's alright, I'm ok, I'm sorry, I've been played, I know I don't matter.
Already moved on, I think I feel better.
But if you care, I know I'll find better. But then again, I'll never say never."
¡Excelente música...!!!! .... los Insomnes, agradecidos.... 👍👍👍
Still like these lyrics best
perfect, my god
sometimes i wonder if this version would have been more popular than the REAL version had they released this instead.
I think this version has verses that actually make sense and match the meaning of the song. final version is magical tho
My thoughts exactly! I'm glad he left in "I've been played."
Disappearing Boy yea defiantly...the final version course is amazing and brings chills everytime I listen to it. In my opinion people hate on the song to much. I just wish the verses (although catchy in the final version) actaully made sense. Other then that I'd take the final version anyday of the week, but these demos are great too
Wow. so powerful
can they release more music man it satisfies and fills my soul so much
omg I'm crying way better then fake ass blink
What's fake about the new blink? Lol
they feel generic now. And Rabbit Hole was fucking terrible.
This is way faker than Blink. If you think Tom can actually sing that chorus live, you're nuts. Studio magic.
I agree Blink is shit now
do you know why this is faker than blink? because this isnt blink. lol. and nobody said that tom was a good singer live.
i have this book marked on my chrome
Inspired
This version is definitely better than the original. To hear them do this live would be unreal.
fuck yeah dude, Tom would rock that show.
haha they changed it cos this is a fairly blatant copy of Heartbeats by The Knife. Sub-consious plagiarism. It happens to the best of them
changed it? how?
+Aaron Horrell
Kinda hard to be original with 4 chords
Dover Have you listened to the song he stated? The tune and pacing are too similar to ignore
Please add this to iTunes!! The chorus is AMAZING!!!!!!!
Honestly better than the original, haha. Lyrics flow perfectly, syllables match and everything. Perfect song
Fuck, this is amazing
This version is good. I love the original but it's so rad that we get this too. I'm not sure which I prefer actually. 🤘
so much better than the original.
God I love tom's music.
