bojangles Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 I found the song to be really really good and I don't care for EDM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Coight Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Cool song outside of the edm chorus. Hope there’s an Ava only version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 I like the song ... what's with the lyric video being wrong on a ton of the lyrics?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotNow Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 It’s definitely a Tom melody, not like the song was finished and Tom just did a vocal take. Makes me wonder was this just a leftover Ava idea for the album and he gave what he had to illenium to make a song out of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau5 Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Illenium has been a huge fan of Tom for a long time - a lot of DJs and producers try to float around popular pop artists and vocal acts in their live shows for an easy, crowd-pleaser vibe, and this guy would randomly throw in almost a completely unedited Adventure chorus into his sets randomly. Everyone knows as well as I do The Adventure is not really a song you would throw on at a electronic dance party show - so I am sure Illenium reached out to Tom wanting to do something with him based on being a fan alone. Unlike a few of the other comments, I would say Illenium lifted up that chorus and really did something great with Toms vocals mixed in with what youre hearing in a lot of contemporary electronic mixes now adays. Its a good blend of both genres - preserving the AVA style towards the front end and back end, while giving a really catchy and electronic heavy chrous that will likely find its way into more than just his own DJ sets. Cool to see an artist reach out to old influences and try to make them relevant in a scene that otherwise would absolutely not gravitate towards a now-Tom Delonge style vocal hook. Chainsmokers did the same with Mark Hoppus, and I think its cool to see artists reach out and see what they can do with vocals and artists that dont belong in the same arena. Also, Im ignoring Steve Aoki and his work because he is an absolute shit DJ and an even worse producer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iguessthisisgrowingup Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Illenium is great, though obviously not every blink fan would be into that genre. I think he killed it, the chorus is amazing. Defs seems like it was based on some AvA scraps 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 I like it. Tom's melodies are always killer. Simple but so melodic and nostalgic. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau5 Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 To the point I was making before - a good frame of reference is this youtube page which releases a lot of new electronic music drops. Proximity has over 8+ million subscribers, and a ton of their fans have no idea who Tom or AVA is (especially when you go through the comment section). Tons of illenium fans, however. Cool to see. Also, decent lyric video. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzz Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Gave this a proper listen, his voice sounds great. I really do think the next AVA album has a chance to be the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 I really enjoy the verses ... the chorus though, the volume rise and falls is like nails on a chalkboard for me, I could definitely do without that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 just listening for the first time, and I actually really like this! didn't know what to expect based on the comments here but it's good stuff. Always fun to hear Tom again because it feels so rare lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look it up after reading your post and it's pretty rad tbh. I'd definitely be hyped if I was at a show and the DJ did this haha. Also found this "remix." It's like 70% just straight up the original song unaltered but the last bit of it is changed up which is kind of cool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Zoomer Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Not gonna lie, it’s probably one of my favorite Tom songs in a long time. Very catchy and the EDM sections don’t go overboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
