5.0 out of 5 stars Great Import Maxi-Single, July 15, 2000

I don't think that anyone who reviewed this cd actually listened to it. I just got in the mail from Amazon, yesterday, and it is awesome. The regular Adam's song on the CD is the aussie radio edit, so it's cut a minute or so shorter, but it still a good song. The live tracks, Going Away To College, Adam's Song, And Wendy Clear are great, and especially the jokes in between the songs, "Ya know why I'm wearing J-Crew boxers? Because when you gotta a package this nice, ya gotta gift wrap it."

This review is from: Adam's Song / Wendy Clear / Going Away to (Audio CD)

I have been a fan of Blink for a while now but even when i heard this song it blew me away. From what ive heard it is about a boy who has just split up from his girlfreind and he feels so bad and so is writing a letter to her because he is goin to kill himself before he is 16. If you listen to the lyrics you can get the jist of it:
'I never thought I'd die alone, i laughed the loudest who'd of known?'
'I never thought id die alone, another 6 months ill be alone'
'i never conquered, rarely came. 16 just held such better days. Days when i still felt alive, days when we couldnt wait to get outside.'
'i couldnt wait till i got home to pass the time in my room alone'
...It is truly great song no matter who you are and it, and the album, are both a defo buy. Blink 182's new album is out this summer and hopefully that should be great aswell.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Adams Song (Audio CD)

i never really liked Adams song but i listened to this cd because it had a couple of live songs that i did like. I listened to Adams Song finally and the emotion and passion that they put on this recording was stunning. it is about a kid who is going to pull the trigger. The live songs are great also. there is a little bit of swearing but that is expected with blink 182 and the sound of the live tracks are great. it sounds like the original studio recordings.............only much better(and a bunch of crazed fans screaming) the cd is a little expensive, but if you have an extra twenty bucks then definatly get this album/single, or some other blink recording.
