I Miss You (Blink-182 song) "I Miss You" is a song by American rock band Blink-182, released on February 2, 2004 as the second single from the group's fifth studio album, "Blink-182" (2003). Co-written by guitarist Tom DeLonge and bassist Mark Hoppus, they employed a method of writing separately and bringing their two verses together later. The song, produced entirely acoustic, features an acoustic electric bass, a cello, and a brushstroked drum loop. The song was inspired by The Cure song "The Love Cats" and contains references to "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993). The song peaked at number one on

"It's how Tom and Mark zing off of one another that makes Blink-182 one of the greats. Name another two dudes who can so naturally share a tender, swelling ballad like 'I Miss You.'" A.D. Amorosi of "The Philadelphia Inquirer" wrote that "post-teen amour drips through an acoustic 'I Miss You', with singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge in Marshall Crenshaw mode." "Spin" called it an "interstate breakup song," commending its use of strings and jazz brushes. The song's music video is shot in the style of a 1930s film, and find the trio performing in a haunted house with ghosts circling around.

contain a song in a similar vein to "I Miss You", the band's 2004 single. With this in mind, DeLonge included references to "I Miss You", "Always" and "All of This", all tracks from the band's previous effort: "I can't find the best in "all of this" / but I'm "always" looking out for you / 'Cause you're the one "I miss"." DeLonge viewed the song's speedy creation as just one of many similarities to their back catalog: "What's cool about this song and 'I Miss You,' when Mark and I both write lyrics in different places, they come together

"Feeling This"; namely, DeLonge and Hoppus would discuss themes and then set off to separate rooms of the home to write alone. The two would first have a discussion about the themes of the song "so that we were on the same page," and then they would go away to write, putting both parts together at the end. "Mark was always really, really good with words, so a lot of times I would ask him for help with things, to get help with how I say things better [...] But we never really explained song meanings to each other," said

DeLonge. Hoppus referenced Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" at the request of Barker, with the lines "We can live like Jack and Sally if we want... and have Halloween on Christmas", toward his then-wife, Shanna Moakler. The trio struggled recording "I Miss You" at first, originally employing a completely different chorus reminiscent of what they considered adult contemporary music. The track was directly inspired by The Cure song, "The Love Cats". In expanding on the song's lyrical meaning, DeLonge said: "The song's more about the vulnerability and kind of heart-wrenching pain you feel when you're in love and when

50 tracks of instruments going on the record," DeLonge said. In an interview with "The Washington Post", he re-estimated the amount: "It's got about 70 tracks of instruments, all of which are organic/acoustic, none of them plugged-in." "I Miss You" was sent to radio in early 2004. The song performed best on "Billboard" Modern Rock Tracks chart, where it peaked at number one for two weeks. The song also charted at number 15 on the Pop Songs chart, and number 24 on the Adult Pop Songs chart. On the "Billboard" Hot 100, the song reached number 42, and also peaked

By May 2004, the track had accumulated more than 50,000 spins at radio, and more than 100,000 by July. The song was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on October 25, 2004 for sales of over 500,000. "I Miss You" received positive reviews from contemporary music critics. Jesse Lord of IGN praised the "well-thought-out dissonance" between Hoppus and DeLonge's respective vocal tracks, opining that it "expertly showcases and highlights the differences between the two." Nick Catucci of "The Village Voice" praised the song, writing,

Jonas Åkerlund, who also directed the Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" and Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful," helmed the clip that was filmed on December 17, 2003 in Los Angeles. "He's done amazing videos," DeLonge said. "We kind of had an idea of what we wanted to do, but it's gonna be interesting because with a guy like that, they bring so much artistic vision to the project. You don't really know what's going on in their head, like how they wanna film it and all that stuff." It also features Mark Hoppus playing a double bass, inspired by Phil Thornalley of

"Blink-182", but plans were dropped following the band's declaration of an 'indefinite hiatus' in February 2005. In response to the idea of "All of This" becoming a possible single, DeLonge joked "We would love it because it's a bad-ass song, and The Cure's Robert Smith sings on it, and that makes us cooler than everybody else." All of This "All of This" is a song by American rock band Blink-182 from the band's fifth studio album, "Blink-182" (2003).

Following high school, DeLonge would work in construction, driving around a Diesel truck and handling concrete and piping. "I hated, hated, hated my job. You know those people who hate their job? That was me", he later said. He promptly quit when Blink-182 signed to MCA Records in 1996. DeLonge formed his first successful band, Blink-182, in 1992.

weeks and invited their manager, Rick DeVoe, to be the first person outside Blink-182 to hear the new material, which the band found "catchy [but with] a definitive edge". DeVoe sat in the control room and quietly listened to the recordings, and pressed the band at the end on why there was no "Blink-182 good-time summer anthem [thing]". DeLonge and Hoppus were furious, remarking, "You want a fucking single? I'll write you the cheesiest, catchiest, throwaway fucking summertime single you've ever heard!"

the song based on his parents' own divorce. "Feeling This" follows, and "illustrates a scenario of lust, ambivalence and regret," according to journalist Jon Wiederhorn. Its lyrics were intended to represent the lustful side of sex during the verses, the passionate side in the bridge and the romantic side in the chorus. "I Miss You" was recorded entirely acoustic, and covers vulnerability in relationships. "Down" continues the theme of longing, set to a rain-drenched soundscape. "Always" was inspired by 1980s music in its tone; its lyrics, according to DeLonge, are about "wanting to hold a chick all night long." "Not

Hoppus and DeLonge wrote the song in two different rooms and upon meeting to discuss the song, the two realized they had both written about sex—the passionate, lustful side (reflected in the verses) and the romantic side (the choruses).

Fans, however, were split by the new direction, and tensions within the band—stemming from the grueling schedule and DeLonge's desire to spend more time with his family—started to become evident. In February 2005, Geffen issued a press statement announcing the band's "indefinite hiatus." The band had broken up after members' arguments regarding their future and recording process.

Hoppus commented to "NME" that he was surprised it took so long to leak and was relieved rather than annoyed that it had, reading warm comments about the album online. Blink-182 returned to Interscope Records to distribute the album, but found the music industry landscape dramatically different since the band's last effort. "The label itself has no resources or capital to do what they used to," DeLonge said in an interview with "Billboard," "They just have you locked up on a contract." Interscope, since the band's break-up, had greatly pared down its rock department, in contrast to other labels. Blink-182

Blink-182 Blink-182 (often stylized as blink-182; pronounced "blink one eighty two" or “blink one eight two”) is an American rock band formed in Poway, California, in 1992. Since 2015, the lineup of the band has consisted of bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus, drummer Travis Barker, and guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba. Founded by guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge, Hoppus and drummer Scott Raynor, the band emerged from the Southern California punk scene of the early 1990s and first gained notoriety for high-energy live shows and irreverent lyrical toilet humor. In its early years, Blink-182 toured heavily behind the band's debut,

for you," after which the band decided on a random number, 182. The band also received their first profile in the "Los Angeles Times" in December 1995, which praised the album but questioned their authenticity and "punk" label. "I mean, is it the retro rock of England's Exploited, the anarchy of the Ramones or the political focus of Bad Religion? Punk has gone off in so many different directions that you can't really classify it anymore," DeLonge said. "People said Elvis Costello was punk when he first came out." The band expanded their fan-base outside of San Diego by embarking

members of Blink-182 on it, it's pretty hard not to turn a profit on that," said engineer Sam Boukas. "I guess if the record company wasn't going to foot the bill, they were quite prepared to foot it themselves for "Box Car Racer"." The creation of the Box Car Racer side project would cause great division in Blink-182, mostly between DeLonge and bassist Mark Hoppus. Hoppus was very interested in being a part of the project, but DeLonge did not want the record to turn into another Blink-182 album. DeLonge contended that the invitation of Barker was to refrain from

Bad Religion, Descendents, Refused, the Beatles, and Screeching Weasel. DeLonge said that in his early days as a musician, what influenced him was "strictly the Descendents", saying "I was trying to emulate that band. Really punchy guitars, fast, simple and formulaic nursery rhyme love songs." Blink-182 was one of the most popular bands at the turn of the millennium, and spearheaded the second wave of pop punk and its journey into the mainstream. The glossy production instantly set Blink-182 apart from the other crossover punk acts of the era, such as Green Day. "Cheshire Cat" is often cited by bands

has been reinterpreted by other artists for all of the band's releases since 1996: The Descendents have been cited as hugely influential to a large number of modern-day pop punk and skate punk bands such as Blink 182, NOFX, Green Day, Pennywise, Propagandhi, Rise Against, The All-American Rejects, The Bouncing Souls, The Offspring, and The Ataris. "Everything about how I sing and play guitar came from this band [...] Blink is absolutely a product of The Descendents," said Blink-182 vocalist/guitarist Tom DeLonge in 2011, while vocalist/bassist Mark Hoppus called "Silly Girl" from "I Don't Want to Grow Up" (1985) "the

I'll write you the cheesiest, catchiest, throwaway fucking summertime single you've ever heard!" Hoppus went home and wrote "The Rock Show" in ten minutes, and DeLonge similarly wrote "First Date", which became the most successful singles from the record and future live staples. Hoppus wrote the song based on his memories of the San Diego club Soma. In their early days, Blink-182 performed dozens of concerts at the venue, mainly at the 5305 Metro Street location. "It was covered with graffiti, it

these landscapes?' I think we should have been pushing ourselves, and trying to push the genre forward." Likewise, Barker felt DeLonge wanted their music to be derivative of groups such as U2 or Coldplay, commenting, "For us, we were always like 'Blink is Blink, man. We want to sound like fucking Blink-182.'" Hoppus wrote lyrics dealing with breakdowns in communication and trust and tackled with themes of isolation and confusion, but these lyrics were not specific to any of the band's history. Hoppus struggled with writing upbeat, happy songs for the album and attributed to dark lyricism to the heavy

By March 1996, major labels began courting the band and the trio signed a joint-venture deal with MCA Records to distribute their sophomore effort, "Dude Ranch", to be recorded that winter. In all, the group toured the US three times and went to Alaska, Australia and Hawaii twice. "It's tiring," DeLonge told "Thrasher" in November 1996. "Then again, I just remember I used to work at this stupid job. I think about that, and I realize I'm not that bad off."

after the plane crash, I was like, 'Hey, I want to play music with him again'". DeLonge was the first to approach the subject of reuniting, and Blink-182 announced their reunion, a new album, and a reunion tour in February 2009 at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards. Blink-182 embarked on a reunion tour of North America from July to October 2009, supported by Weezer and Fall Out Boy. The tour was successful, selling out amphitheaters nationwide: "I was completely blown away and dumbfounded by how big that reunion tour was.

In DeLonge's public response to Hoppus and Barker's claims about him not wanting to participate in a new Blink-182 album, he said the "60-page Blink contract" he was handed required that a new album be recorded within six months, and also included language that temporarily prohibited the release of other various projects that he was already under contract for. He said: "All of these other projects are being worked, exist in contract form—I can't just slam the brakes and drop years of development, partnerships and commitments at the

and seemingly moved on. Barker felt the dynamics of the band changed with Hoppus and DeLonge's marriages: "Blink-182 were no longer just three inseparable guys who were touring together." Meanwhile, he began dating model Shanna Moakler, inviting tabloid attention, adding to the "awkwardness" present in the band. The post-hardcore sound of "Box Car Racer" inspired the change in tone and experimental nature the band approached "Blink-182" with. Hoppus described his desire for the album to experiment with different arrangements in a 2002 interview: "Before, we got one guitar sound that we changed a little bit through the record. This time

In addition, their reputation as an irreverent local live act at venues such as SOMA alerted the label, who was seeking to expand into different genres.

regards "Blink-182" as "more experimental and harder-hitting than anything else [the band] has done". It was subsequently included in the Top 50 Best of 2003 end of the year list by "Rolling Stone". The album was given four stars by AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine, who called "Blink-182" "an unexpected and welcome maturation from a band that just an album ago seemed permanently stuck in juvenilia." "Blender's" Jonah Weiner praised DeLonge's vocals, describing them as a "lean, thrilling ride through adolescent hopelessness." Many critics expressed surprise at the newfound maturity of the band, and lauded the surprise appearance of The Cure

The result is the longest song the band ever recorded, clocking in at 6:20. According to DeLonge, "the only way that you can really appreciate [the song] is if you have headphones and you dim the lights in your house and really sat there and listened to it." Allmusic singled out "I'm Lost Without You" as one of the "weirder, atmospheric pieces" on "Blink-182", one that successfully molds "adventurous" songwriting with musical experimentation. "The A.V.

The eponymously titled "Blink-182" followed in 2003 and marked a stylistic shift for the group, infusing experimental elements into their usual pop punk formula, resulting in a more mature sound. The album spawned four singles: "Feeling This", "I Miss You", "Down", and "Always", with "I Miss You" having the greatest success and narrowly missing the top 40 of the "Billboard" Hot 100.

The song was written and produced very late in the recording process for "Neighborhoods", following the cancellation of a European tour in order to complete the long-delayed album. Although the album was recorded primarily in separate studios, "After Midnight" came together quickly in a last-minute writing session when the trio were together. The song originated from drummer Travis Barker, who laid down the song's distinctive percussion and labeled it
