All first saw singer Dave Smalley in some of the earlier albums such as 'Allroy Sez' and 'Allroy For Prez'. Smalley later gave way to singer Scott Reynolds who appeared on the albums 'Allroy's Revenge', 'Trailblazer', 'Allroy Saves', and 'Percolator'. The 'New Girl, Old Story' album in 1991 saw All credited as TonyALL and featured their old Descendents bandmate Tony Lombardo on vocals.
Once Scott moved on, current singer Chad Price stepped in. Price has spent some time in the studio with All as well on such albums as 'Breaking Things', 'Pummel', 'Mass Nerder', 'Problematic', and the live album 'Live Plus One'.
Although All is mostly made up of members of the Descendents, and most of the songs are written by the same people in both bands, few can deny that ALL has its own distinct sound while still letting the Descendents bleed through."
2) All is an alias of Wolfgang Voigt who specializes in ambient and a concept between M:I:5 and Gas
I'll Get There
All Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the fun I was supposed to have?
Where did I go wrong?
It passed me by!
I let it slip away by working all the time,
burning out my mind, wasting precious life!
It's still summer somewhere and I think I better go there
It's still summer somewhere and I really need to go there
It's still summer somewhere and I'll get there
I let love walk out the door cause I don't know how to have any fun
I pushed love out the door cause i'm never at ease with anyone
no screen no phone no fax
work will wait till i get back
I'm gone so long I'm never coming back never going back
It's still summer somewhere and I think I better go there
(anywhere but here) This could be my last chance for me to change my life
It's still summer somewhere and I really need to go there
it's still summer somewhere and I'll get there
It's gone for good not only until next year
There will be no next year if i don't get out of here!
It's still summer somewhere and I think I better go there
(anywhere but here) This could be my last chance for me to change my life
It's still summer somewhere and I really need to go there
It's still summer somewhere (anywhere but here)
It's still summer somewhere (anywhere but here)
It's still summer somewhere (any way) and I'll get there!
The song "I'll Get There" by All expresses regret over missed opportunities, particularly in regards to having fun and experiencing love. The singer laments that they have worked so hard and become so busy that they have let life slip away. They realize that they have let love walk out the door because they don't know how to have fun, and they "pushed love out the door" because they are never at ease with anyone. The singer yearns for a change and sees the remaining days of summer as a last chance to make it happen: "It's still summer somewhere and I think I better go there. This could be my last chance for me to change my life."
The lyrics suggest that the singer's current surroundings are holding them back and they need to escape in order to find what they're looking for. The repeated phrase "anywhere but here" emphasizes this desire for change and suggests that the singer wants to go somewhere where they can let go of their responsibilities and just have fun. The urgency of the situation is also emphasized by the line, "There will be no next year if I don't get out of here!" The singer is acutely aware that time is running out, and they need to take action now to avoid missing out on life altogether.
Overall, "I'll Get There" is a wistful and poignant song that speaks to anyone who has ever felt like they've let life slip away. It's a reminder that it's never too late to make a change and that we should never take our time for granted.

This song is pretty high up there on the list of best-ever pop-punk tracks, and if it had been on a Descendents record, nobody would even balk at that statement.
Greg Milner
Absolutely. And it's not even the best song on the album. (I'd go with "Until I Say So" for that honor.)

Whatever happened to all my plans?
All the fun I was supposed to have
Where did I go wrong?
It passed me by
I let it slip away
By working all the time
Burning out my mind
Wasting precious life
It's still summer somewhere
And I think I better go there (anywhere but here)
This could be my last chance
For me to change my life
It's still summer somewhere
And I really need to go there
It's still summer somewhere
And I’ll get there
I let love walk out the door
‘Cause I don't know how to have any fun
I pushed love out the door ‘cause I’m never at ease with anyone
No screen, no phone, no fax
Work will wait ‘til I get back
I’m gone so long
I’m never coming back
Never going back
It's still summer somewhere
And I think I better go there (anywhere but here)
This could be my last chance
For me to change my life
It's still summer somewhere
And I really need to go there
It's still summer somewhere
And I’ll get there
It's gone for good
Not only until next year
There’ll be no next year if I don't get out of here
It's still summer somewhere
And I think I better go there (anywhere but here)
This could be my last chance
For me to change my life
It's still summer somewhere
And I really need to go there
It's still summer somewhere (anywhere but here)
Still summer somewhere (anywhere but here)
It's still summer somewhere (any way)
And I’ll get there

ALL!

This track is a very odd contradiction to World's On Heroin.
World's On Heroin: "Everyone is so lazy! I always quest for ALL!"
I'll Get There: "Gee, I work so damn hard I just NEED a break!"
I'm not saying these are bad topics or messages and both are relatable. It's just a case of odd track placement.

The Orupturetan Maybe that was the point - to show two opposite points. Or not, maybe just what you're saying lol
