One More Time - Official Music Video

[boxelder]

i guess i'll post my review in this thread for both the song and video.

this is a song we've all wanted to hear from these guys for years. at first i found the lyrics slightly clunky, but honestly i'm just over analyzing: viewing the lyrics in succession and really soaking in the meaning is the proper way to consume a song like this. i had hoped for a bridge, but really what is there more to say? i feel like the approach taken was the correct one, for both song and video. i think the piano and bells accompaniment really sells it, and like i said, there's nothing left to say past that devastating second verse. "Older, but nothing's any different / right now feels the same, I wonder why" was truly a gut punch.

the video is an absolute unabashed tear-jerker, and it has now worked on me several times. the backgrounds were extremely well-done in a surprising way, given how the word was they had issues with the green screen; the lighting in different environments was super nice. i was shocked to see things like daytona beach represented in a way that felt like a real nod to the videos that helped shape this band and its image. as soon as the video pans in on travis as he joins mark and tom singing, i just ugly cry every time. i feel like the clips chosen were perfect. there's really no notes on something like this. an all-timer video for this band, a seminal piece.

gonna be honest I love both songs but I can't even listen to More Than You Know again right now because I just want to keep listening to this one over and over. I've always loved the rare acoustic blink song and this is no different.

Only blink can have you with tears in the eyes while a big flaming FUCK is on the screen.

It's funny that I'm pretty sure I recognized every single background and every single old clip of them in that video. I used to spend hours a day watching blink-182 videos on YouTube nonstop lol. I've never cared about a band the way I care about this one.

Love it ?

Heck even my brother liked this one and this is the first time he’s ever responded positively to something blink related. Not bad.

A million fans wiping away the tears of happiness in unison.

First I want to say that I'm glad I watched the music video instead of just the song (but wow, even the song itself was powerful) because it made my first experience with it so much better. As I've said before, I've been burnt after the last reunion so I've been holding this band at arms length even with them showing on stage they where truly friends again just in case they do have another issue and Tom leaves the band again (or whatever else may happen)

However, this song (and especially music video) has convinced me to just trust the band once more and believe that this reunion is going to be better than the last one (and I have some bias somewhat still for the 2009 to 2015 since I was 16/17 in 2009). That video montage towards the end with all the old clips actually brought tears to my eyes and made me feel things.

This was a powerful song (and the multiple times I've relistened to it) I've noticed some call backs even in the song itself. Great song, and I see why the band chose to make this the title-track.

I know Italia aren't popular around here, but really thought this tweet was cool:

The thing i love about this video is you have people all over the internet saying things like "im 30 something years old and have been a fan of this band for 20 years and im crying".  This bands fanbase really is something else. So great

Well I'm 33 discover blink when I was 11 it's the band of my life, I've watched the video like 7 times, and the seven times as soon as The Warped Tour 99 shows up I cry

Amazing video and beautiful song

It's a tribute to everybody who loves this band

Rock and roll hall of fame should be waiting.

I must confess, that's how I got into/discovered blink was in the early days of youtube... I'd go into full detail(s), but this isn't the topic for that. I will say though, learning both Tom (and Scott) and Mark's names through the Dammit music video on youtube was fun.

Okay so I actually did end up making a video for this song... I'm gonna try to upload it but I suspect it will get taken down by YouTube. Assuming that happens, anyone know of any other places I can upload it for people to watch?
