But they do have Christian lyrics here and there, especially on early records. I listened to an interview around 2015 where Herrera kind of explains he grew up going to church but drifted away from it as years went by. As Speedo said, he´s now claiming it Here´s the interview: https://weaselradio.bandcamp.com/track/the-mxpx-episode --------------------------------------------------------------- Awesome news by Mark! So glad to read that´s the best possible news 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have missed those songs back in the day. It's weird now in the "streaming era" to think back on the days when you could be really into a band but not necessarily know their entire catalogue. I absolutely loved Teenage Politics, Life In General, and Slowly Going The Way Of The Buffalo, but if there were any Christian songs on those albums they somehow went over my head haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they had anything overtly religious, I feel like they just weren't offensive. No cussing, edgy song topics etc. Being on Tooth & Nail kind of gave them a built in audience for awhile before they floated away to where they are now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Bagel Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 This show was amazing. Lil Tom and Mark share a kiss, Hoppus Hoppin’ as he should. Love the Beatles reference in Asthenia. Love this tune. Love this band. I’ve been drinking the Kool Aid from the bottle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weak Light my path show me The way filter everything I say try to forgive try To forget why do I do what I regret? my flesh nature Won't abide its ripping Me apart inside Jesus Pulls me back together My soul will be with him Forever can't get away From bitterness can't Seem to lose my Selfishness my faith in father God cause I am Weak and he is strong!

NotNow Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 I find the idea amusing that tom possibly found out marks positive cancer update from a yahoo article and not marks tweet directly yesterday or from him personally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M!ke Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 So happy that Mark has gotten the best news he could hope for. He's gonna kick cancer's butt. Now, I have to wonder, how will blink be affected by this moving forward. The obvious thought I'm sure many of us have is that Tom is inevitably going to return, I think this was a given even before Mark's cancer, but now, I just can't imagine him not returning at some point. I'd put money on this thought at this point. But beyond that I'm curious what will happen with the music itself, It seems like they were working on an album that was nearly done, are they still gonna release that, or is Mark in such a different place now that he'll want to release something else? Like I can imagine he'll have a lot more personal songs he'll want to write personally and not release another album filled with guest song writers. As I recall, the When Your Heart Stops Beating album was written out of a very dark and personal place from where Mark was at in life at that point. I can definitely see another blink album like that coming out in the wake of all of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudes well past his prime and needs writers just to produce ANY volume of music. And that music blows. Even if you like it, it’s light years away from prime blink. Blinks never gonna be blink again folks, just face the music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s what happens to every band. You have a limited heyday. Surely you don’t believe Tom rejoins blink in 2025 and returns with a kick ass album lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
