This is like the epitome of a classic blink song. Amazing riff, hilarious lyrics and catchy as fuck. I believe him when he said he was working on new shit.
My theory is that every single song on the "...To the stars" EP was for the blink "California" album. If not, the coincidence is spooky to say the least...
Can we take a minute to appreciate how much this man has done? He has started two amazing bands, then later becoming a solo artist, while even having cancer. What a true inspiration, doing what he loves the way he loves.
+Cadeirante Negro A few songs on To the Stars were written as demos for blink-182. When Tom split, he didn't have Mark Hoppus to sing certain parts like that one
Anyone think its a bit interesting that the new blink album name is "California" and Tom wrote this song a while back? It makes me wonder if the idea to make a California themed album was talked about before matt joined and this is one of the songs tom came up with for it.
+TheDanimator's Channel No. The name of the album makes sense. Mark says this album is returning to their roots, and they are from California. I highly doubt this album is going to sound anything like Cheshire Cat or Dude Ranch, but we will see.
Did anyone ever notice that The first song of this Ep ''New World'' had a part that tottaly inspired the new blink song ''Bored to Death''? ''So seventeen again... and in bored to death ''And it's a long way back from seventeen'' lol
My thoughts exactly! This song almost sounds like Tom going into sarcastic autopilot. I could imagine Mark texting him one day after the tour ended and they hadn't seen each other in months and saying "IDEA FOR NEW BLINK ALBUM. BACK TO OUR ROOTS SOUND. 'CALIFORNIA'." Then Tom, sitting there, not knowing how to say 'no' or leave the band writes the most over-the-top thing to show himself how ridiculous it would be to go that far backwards.
Wouldn't it be awesome if Tom and Scott started playing together again and would make some music with old-school blink tunes? Like from Dude Ranch and Cheshire Cat?
yes!!! ive been thinking that since tom left blink. that would be awesome for the dude ranch 20 year anniversary. they could play all the old songs including the old demos. tom and scott are the original blink!!
The Founding Father! I've always thought, pre 2nd break up, this was supposed to be the title track for what became what we now know to be the modern Blink - California albums. Oh man how epic it would have sounded if they held it together and made another solid album, at least if it was just one more.
Sounds like a message to Mark to come play and move back to California and saying that it's hard for Tom to get things done with the band when Mark is living in Europe
+jazzblaster Yea, that's why their first album without him will almost certainly be more successful than the last one with him.... Tom hasn't bled Blink since 2004. This song is pandering to useful idiots.
just cause an album is successful doesn't mean its good. that has to do more with hype and press. when they say they've been saying this is the best blink album they've done in a long time and that it sounds like old blink, its just making good press and building hype for the album. None of the new tracks sound like old blink and none of them are even as good as the best songs on neighborhoods. as immortal technique said, "fuck the records you sold 'cause if you go platinum, it's got nothing to do with luck it just means that a million people are stupid as fuck." bye bye, son
An Endless Summer, Golden Showers, and Suburban Kings would have been singles on the Blink record if he was with them at the time. I know they are friends now again but yeah. Those songs with Barker on drums and Mark on Bass and vocals as well would have been amazing.
He wrote them for blink. Too bad mark and travis are so money hungry they just cant wait a year or two for a good ass album. They just want more and more money playing the same played out songs on some festival.
***** Its a demo. More often than not musicians tend to either add in gibberish or write some shitty fucking lyrics before they decide on some real lyrics because they havent been written yet..
alexdecool In the 'ol state California'? Who the hell calls our state the 'ol state'? We're the golden shower state : P.... Naw, but we're the left side , golden state, Green thumb state, or the fucking PUNK ROCK STATE!
alexdecool idk about california... pissing me off lately. Tom, blink, and punk yes. California, just a bunch of the exact opposite of punk. weak, feeble, wusses. Everywere.
I think Tom is my all time favorite singer to listen to. Amazing. I loved Blink 182 in college and Tom is just so talented he really sings amazing and much better as lead. Love his singing. So good. I just discovered Angels and Airwaves. Amazing.
Wackerman only played on New World. The drums in the bridge sound like a Virtual Instrument, so I think they are programmed which wold make sense because this is a demo.
to all the haters.. you know 3/4 the reason you loved blink was because of Tom don't deny it.. he made the catchy riffs and raspy voice that we all knew to love.. I miss blink but at least Tom is fucking producing shit.. what has mark or Travis done lately no hate as a blink fan..but just being honest
How about we all stop gossiping and talk about the music! This is so freaking good! My favorite on the album along with An Endless Summer. Always gotta have favorites no matter how hard it is to choose. This song makes me happy from the beautiful sound, to the hilarious lyrics, to the pure silliness and fun you hear in Tom's voice. AWESOME!
My friend sent me this link to listen to this album and first thing I said afterwards was "I like golden showers." I didn't feel the need to add anything else. I love this song so much and the album is kickass, demos and odds and ends or w/e it is, it's still really awesome, Tom.
Fuckkk... this is so fucking good... This could literally be on TOYPAJ and no one would bat an eyelid... tom is just classic blink, and obviously hasn’t ‘changed’... he’s still the same guy capable fo creating the same epic riffs he’s always been able to create all the way from Cheshire Cat to now!
"You can take a dump on my chest if it's okay, Just don't take a piss in someone's mouth when you're away". Finally a blast from the past! This song would've fit perfectly on either enema or pants & jacket, their 2 best albums..
Hahah, Tom totally got the intro from ALL's Million Bucks. I thought it sounded familiar, but didn't pay much attention. Been revisiting a lot of Descendents/ALL stuff lately and after not listening to Pummel in years, when Million Bucks started playing, it all clicked.
It's now over a year after this song was uploaded, and somehow I never heard it until now. But this is SO MUCH better than Bored To Death...I really wish Tom was still in Blink.
For those who didnt know, Tom has posting the lyric of this song in Instagram back in 2013 and he put hashtag #newsong. Here is the link instagram.com/p/dDqemdru0J/
you liked it, deep down. lol seriously im sorry for being a dick. music shouldnt be a tool to drive people apart but to bring them together, even when they both really wanna argue about dumb shit.
first off this song is better then bored of death and its funny how the new LP is going to be called california blink needs this song blink needs tom delonge
definitely a blink song, cant stop playing on repeat... This was one of those he posted a 15 second demo on Instagram a few days after he was kicked out of blink.... would have been a killer hit with some travis and mark on it.. but it is, what it is.. awesome tom delonge song..
Love this song, has such a classic Blink feel to it! At least Tom is showing his hand and proving that he was working on material. Good material at that.
This is such an awesome song. It would've been a great Blink song but regardless its an awesome song. Definitely reminds me of The Rock Show and What's My Age with a little of that old spunk in the older albums but such an awesome song.
The only thing that upsets me about Tom is when he gets back with blink he makes his songs sound like AVA but when he goes solo from both his songs sound like blink. This is the sound and types of songs I wanted with neighborhoods and dogs eating dogs. :(
Hahah, I know right. As much as people here are saying that if Tom was with them now, California would sound like this, we all know that it would just sound more like U2 meets Coldplay (so basically AVA). Even Travis admitted that's what Tom wanted to do when they were originally planning to record for it.
You hit the nail right hard with this statement, it makes me feel upset that a lot of people here are hating on the new album because it was too poppy but I'm satisfied with it because it's the closest thing that sounds like classic Blink in more than a decade.
Even Dogs eating Dogs had better songs then the 2nd half of Neighborhoods, wtf Kaleidoscope and MH.DateRecorded - those songs were shit. lol. After Wishing Well, that album tanks.
... except Tom shared this in 2013, well before he left the band - instagram.com/p/dDqemdru0J/ It's a demo for the new Blink album that he released since he was no longer part of it.
The problem with neighbourhoods was that Tom brought to much AVA into the instrumental part rather than having it sound like blink. The lyrics were great, just to much added sound. This sounds like blink. I love it.
Embryonicboy KINDA like Buddha and Cheshire cat a LITTLE. But honestly it sounds more like a mixture of some quick AVA mixed with original Blink skate punk, not anything past Enema or even Dude Ranch.
"It's a fun, hard day up in California It's a grand old day up in California Can you come play here in California? California, this is California" so close to being a song used by the Californian Board of Tourism

JJDiscussions Do you live in California?
JJDiscussions I think he stated in a post after they disbanded smth like "Material to be released" - This post contained this one's riff :D
JJDiscussions this song has been in the making for two years. In fact he posted the lyrics on instagram in march 2013.
JJDiscussions Too little, too late.
My theory is that every single song on the "...To the stars" EP was for the blink "California" album. If not, the coincidence is spooky to say the least...
You know when Tom writes deep, beautiful lyrics like this...
it just really hits you
It just really shits you.
@@JustRollyThis comment is underrated lmao 😂
Since they are reuniting again, they need to recreate this song
Can we take a minute to appreciate how much this man has done? He has started two amazing bands, then later becoming a solo artist, while even having cancer. What a true inspiration, doing what he loves the way he loves.
He made 3 amazing bands, produced a movie, an animation, a documentary, wrote books.
Saiyan From Namek Wtf Tom doesn't have cancer
TheGoodWay -182 He had skin cancer.
And amazing brand : Macbeth
tom didn't have cancer it was marl that did
I just can't stop thinking about what if this song was actually for the new blink album named "California." It's just too blink for Tom alone.
true
I think he said these were for blink. Hes had this song written for a looong time cause he posted the lyrics on instagram once.
Yeah this is all the material he had written for Blink. Wether or not we would've ever gotten these songs is a different story...
so, im not alone.
I'm almost positive this was meant for California
You can tell that the "And this is California, We fuck in Califonia" chants at the very end were meant for Mark.
Exactly what I was thinking! Makes me sad...
i don't get it , help me
+Cadeirante Negro A few songs on To the Stars were written as demos for blink-182. When Tom split, he didn't have Mark Hoppus to sing certain parts like that one
Now that blink are reunited. Hope they consider this playing at one of their tour. Imagine mark singing the bridge part😍 and this is caaaalifornyaa..

+jazzblaster this sounds more like blink 182 than bored to death
Scott wouldn't be able to fulfill Tom's rhythmic requests, to put it lightly.
Now this is the blink we've been missing for a solid decade.
The "I got kicked out of blink-182" club.
"AND THIS IS CALIFORNIA"
yep....
i got it haha
We fuck in California!
1:55 was supposed to be Mark's part.
Absolutely. Then at 2:14 it sounds like maybe they would start singing it together. I miss Blink.
oh mannnn,i loveee you😁
Spot on
:")
:((
This is more Blink than Blink... #thelegendthatistom

Ahhh, the good old Blink 182 feeling! ❤
First Date + The Rock Show = Golden Showers
These lyrics have helped me through many things, thanks Mr Delonge!
Sounds like a message to Mark to come play and move back to California and saying that it's hard for Tom to get things done with the band when Mark is living in Europe
Well, mark's been back in the states since august. But this song was written almost 2 years ago. Still, nothing at all to do with mark.
***** He posted the lyrics on insta in march of '13
LtheConfidentCoward there is no post on his instagram of this
plopbellie calm down....nice bowl cut fat boy
Justin Smith not a bowl cut nor am i fat, so fail.
I'm convinced this would have been the next big hit by Blink. Travis' drums would have made this even better. Awesome work Tom!
Cause I fell in love with the girl in California
Joe Masi You live in Cali?
She's in a relationship
Spitfire Does it? I don’t hear it at all
Take a dump on her chest
She said what and I've told her that I didn't know
Awesome! This is the pop-punk I love ;D
this man bleeds blink-182
+Tony Nur Rahman the spirit of the blink lives within him!
+220VolT exactly. I still like the new blink but it's just not the same.
obviously he doesnt need blink but blink def needs him
+jazzblaster Yea, that's why their first album without him will almost certainly be more successful than the last one with him.... Tom hasn't bled Blink since 2004. This song is pandering to useful idiots.

If that were released at the time the blink and tom had enough exposure, surely this would become a MTV hit.
Dude_34 to bad MTV wouldn't let it get on
@@piercelequine9696 MTV sucks ass
Just discovered this song. How am I so late? The media needs to be talking more about Tom Delonge. So FIRE!
POSITIVES: The music and melody on this song is awesome.
An Endless Summer, Golden Showers, and Suburban Kings would have been singles on the Blink record if he was with them at the time. I know they are friends now again but yeah. Those songs with Barker on drums and Mark on Bass and vocals as well would have been amazing.
He wrote them for blink. Too bad mark and travis are so money hungry they just cant wait a year or two for a good ass album. They just want more and more money playing the same played out songs on some festival.
The follow up to Dogs eating Dogs could have been great mixing classic blink with a progressive blink would have really worked.
LOL good stuff.
I almost wish this was not a joke song though because the instrumentation is so good.
But then again...
***** It's not really a joke song. It's just an embodiment of all the immature good times Tom had in California growing up.
JEEVES635
I get what you mean, it is but it isn't at the same time.
JEEVES635 IDK, it's Christmas Eve and I've only wrapped two fucking presents.
***** Its a demo. More often than not musicians tend to either add in gibberish or write some shitty fucking lyrics before they decide on some real lyrics because they havent been written yet..
I agree
1:02 "I'll let you watch the show when I'm pooping on your cousin" LMAO classic Tom

Check out boxcar racer
if neighborhoods had sounded like this it would've been a smash hit
Absolutely.
neighborhoods was still awesome. one of my favorite blink albums.
Neighborhoods is still a great album regardless, though.
neighborhoods is still amazing. I wish we'd gotten another album like that or one similar to this
If california sounded like this, it wouldve been good
Best riff on the album. Hands down.
Xhavit Cemenja Sounds like Dumpweed slowed down
Nah Endless Summer
@@Endlessnameless803 Its inspired by ALL’s Million Bucks.
@@Endlessnameless803Good ear. It’s the same notes. Tom loves that B string.
I cannot die before I see/hear this live
The main riff sounds like a mix between the rock show and first date I would like to hear more of the feeling this style its the best song ever
Just imagine : Mr Travis Barker playing drum on this song
Thar would of completed the song..this is why it is a demo ..it's not a completed blink song
Fuk Travis
anotheruseforaname not Ilan. Brooks Wackerman from Bad Religion. He played a couple shows with Blink during their Australian tour.
Wackerman only played on New World. The drums in the bridge sound like a Virtual Instrument, so I think they are programmed which wold make sense because this is a demo.
Léo Dorollins probably be exactly the same
Longlive TOM!😭. I grow up my teen with you when I just heard your song for the first time at 2020.
This song is just awesome, sounds like Blink's old stuff
Anyone else hear a smidge of toms old vocal style in this, got a good smile out of this track, better than anything off the last blink album for sure
to all the haters.. you know 3/4 the reason you loved blink was because of Tom don't deny it.. he made the catchy riffs and raspy voice that we all knew to love.. I miss blink but at least Tom is fucking producing shit.. what has mark or Travis done lately no hate as a blink fan..but just being honest
Trey Farris Lol Travis is still making music but Mark is just posting emojis on twitter.
Mark is posting book reviews in his facebook.
Trey Farris Actually, he was 1/4 of the reason why I loved blink. The other 3/4 was Mark, Travis, and Scott.
GamingControversials 1/5... dont forget Jerry Finn. He is very missed
Yup
This would have been an epic blink song!! Cool song
This song is kind of relevant to the events going on the past couple of days.

Always gotta have favorites no matter how hard it is to choose. This song makes me happy from the beautiful sound, to the hilarious lyrics, to the pure silliness and fun you hear in Tom's voice.

Everytime I listen to new Blink, this is in the recommended and I always click back on this. It's just so much better!
Finaly! a song that is not about space or L ( VE!
I'm confused now. Is this California?
Yes
No, this is better than California
no this is patrick
this is loss
If tom still in blink
put this song in califonia album 2016
I feel like this was written a long time ago but he finally decided to record and release it at this point. Could have been a toypaj idea for sure!
This was a middle finger to mark and travis. They thought Tom didnt have these songs in him anymore. This wouldve been a hit on a blink record.
I want to bet money that at 1:55 it was supposed to be Mark's part to sing
"You can take a dump on my chest if it's okay, Just don't take a piss in someone's mouth when you're away". Finally a blast from the past! This song would've fit perfectly on either enema or pants & jacket, their 2 best albums..
honestly i love this kind of sound from his guitar. remind me of "take of your pants and jacket" by blink 182. it sounds pretty close
So that was the post on Instagram! Love it!

I been a fan of you for a decade ! This is the funny Tom that was in Blink 182 ! I like this song !
We need toms guitar riffs back in blink.
toms can do what ever he want to, holy shit, what a fucking greaaaaat song
Travis-"punk was just a stage for tom"
I hope he is eating his words

Spacko, ey. Hauptsache rumnerden. Ich hoffe man läuft sich Mal über den Weg. Dann kannste mir das ja auch noch Mal persönlich sagen.
This could have easily been on any Blink album from Dude Ranch through to TOYPAJ. Classic.
EPIC.
This song shows that Tom didn't get bored of punk, I think he got bored of Mark and Travis.
LeeSa are you sure? i mean i could see how he might get bored with this, since this is the same song he already wrote like 10 times before.
Outrage Quitter Plus it's not punk.. if anything it's punk pop, maybe punk rock.
This is forced and not genuine
this is some good pop punk, almost has a screeching weasel touch to it
Kalliste what the fuck?
So addicted to this song already. Love it, wish it was a bit longer though.
i can here a small part of first date?
So good, absolutely loving this and the new record. Very impressed Tom.
This is better than anything on blink's new album, just sayin
You said it best brother!
Troy Martin ...and anything they put out now with skiba
I just keep coming back for more of this album. I miss the old blink...
first off this song is better then bored of death and its funny how the new LP is going to be called california blink needs this song blink needs tom delonge
definitely a blink song, cant stop playing on repeat... This was one of those he posted a 15 second demo on Instagram a few days after he was kicked out of blink.... would have been a killer hit with some travis and mark on it.. but it is, what it is.. awesome tom delonge song..
Guess we know what album this song was intended to be on
Love this song, has such a classic Blink feel to it! At least Tom is showing his hand and proving that he was working on material.
Good material at that.
This song would've fit perfectly in the California album!
all the songs would fit if tom was actully in the band
¡¡You're a genius!!
First song of California From Blink-182 if tom stayed here
This is such an awesome song. It would've been a great Blink song but regardless its an awesome song. Definitely reminds me of The Rock Show and What's My Age with a little of that old spunk in the older albums but such an awesome song.
Dat Dumpweed intro 😎
Ok so it's not just me
***** Nah, it's pretty different. Similar sounding though.
The new blink sound with the old toilet humor, this has everything i love
I fell in love with the girl at the rock sh.......... Oh, Shit, wait :\
The verse is essentially First Date and the chorus is The Rock Show. Love when he does that.
The only thing that upsets me about Tom is when he gets back with blink he makes his songs sound like AVA but when he goes solo from both his songs sound like blink. This is the sound and types of songs I wanted with neighborhoods and dogs eating dogs. :(
Hahah, I know right. As much as people here are saying that if Tom was with them now, California would sound like this, we all know that it would just sound more like U2 meets Coldplay (so basically AVA).

This was actually written for Blink, he shared it in 2013 on instagram - instagram.com/p/dDqemdru0J/ so it was meant for California before he left.
... except Tom shared this in 2013, well before he left the band - instagram.com/p/dDqemdru0J/ It's a demo for the new Blink album that he released since he was no longer part of it.
The problem with neighbourhoods was that Tom brought to much AVA into the instrumental part rather than having it sound like blink. The lyrics were great, just to much added sound. This sounds like blink. I love it.
I think this album is gonna be way better than blink+Skibba future album...
That little falsetto part! So adorable!
This sounds so much like the rock show, some parts just do. Am i the only one?
Tom whydelongeface thats because parts of it are basically the same riff.
Tom whydelongeface Sounds nothing like the rock show.
Tom whydelongeface Yup, same rhythm guitar from Rock Show only played in B instead of A.
Tom whydelongeface The little riff actually sounds quite First Date now I really listen in. It's like that and Rock Show blended, almost.
That and first date
Just keep smiling listen to this song, you did great jobs
This songs sounds like it could of been on the next Blink-182 album. But maybe this song could be a sequel to Box Car Racer.
He wrote this back in 2013 i remember cause he posted the lyrics on instagram. He wasn't playing around.
Jacob Cano It's a very good song, I like where Tom's heading!
Jacob Cano remember that, i knew i had read some of these somewhere
+01uofmfan Dave might be up for it. Travis... not so much :s
