MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1 – “Dumpweed”)

On June 1st of 1999…

Blink-182 released the album
Enema of the State

(Music Cut #2 – “What’s My Age Again?”)

It was the band’s first album featuring
Travis Barker on drums

He joined up with Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge
to create the trio that would turn Blink-182 into global superstars.

(Music Cut #3 – “All The Small Things” intro)

But the band’s biggest hit
almost didn’t make the album.

Tom DeLonge felt the record needed
something simpler and a little more radio friendly

so within minutes, he wrote
“All The Small Things”
as a love letter to his girlfriend.

(Music Cut #4 – “All The Small Things” hook)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs
Surprises let me know she cares.” – Blink-182 – “All The Small Things”
