The text below applies to [4] the band from Dublin, Ireland.
Blink were noted for their mixture of humour and melancholy. They released three albums: A Map Of the Universe by Blink (1994), The End Is High (1998) and Deep Inside The Sound Of Sadness (2004). A Map of the Universe by Blink was a top ten album in their native Ireland. The End is High was a Billboard magazine album of the week and Deep inside the Sound of Sadness was nominated as Best Irish Album of the Year in the 2005 Meteor Music Awards.
The band Blink-182 originally called themselves Blink but changed their name after a threat of legal action - a fact they were demonstrably unhappy about at the time, referring to the original Blink as a 'shitty Dublin pop band'
Formed in the mid 1990s by Dermot Lambert, Robbie Sexton, Brian McLoughlin and Barry Campbell, Blink's inclusion on a CD for a trade festival in New York sparked a review, leading to an A&R storm as international music executives chased the dreams and dollars of 'the next U2', which ended with the band signing with EMI for their debut release.
Four months after playing their very first gig, Blink found themselves in recording studios working with notable producers including John O'Neill (The Undertones), Gil Norton (Pixies) and Steve Hillage.
Blinks' first singles "Going To Nepal" and "Happy Day" went top 20 in Ireland. Their third release "It's Not My Fault" debuted at No 8.
August 1994 saw the release of their debut album A Map Of The Universe By Blink, entering the Irish album charts at No. 8 and referred to by Hot Press as "the best Irish pop album ever made", an accolade as opposed to a slur in the days before pop became a dirty word.
Blink released the single "Cello" to support the album release and it hit the No. 10 spot and held its position for six weeks. The album went Gold almost immediately. 1995 was a very good year indeed. Soundcrowd Orchestra remixed Cello and it became a massive hit all over again. Blink were nominated for four awards at the Hot Press Music Awards.
Sticking around Boston and New York and playing every music venue they could find, alternative US radio took to Blink, and suddenly "It's Not My Fault" was being A-listed on radio stations across the Northeast and spreading like wildfire across college radio. In late 1995, Blink set up their own New York-based label, released A Map Of The Universe By Blink and went on to sell more than 80,000 copies of it in the US by that Christmas.
At home, the record company were looking for a new album, so the band hesitantly packed their bags and headed back to start recording for Parlophone UK. However, the call of the US kept coming hard and strong - offers of shows, supports with bands they had met over there, so album number two was postponed in favour of a return trip to the States.
The decision to try and break the States was a solid one and a year later, the band signed on the dotted line with Paradigm Records, Blink began recording their second album The End Is High, releasing it in the US in March 1998.
Billboard magazine decided it was their five star album of the month, and the album went on to do 90,000 copies in a very short space of time, opening the doors for bigger US tour supports. 1999 onwards saw Blink opening shows, sharing dressing rooms with The Ramones, Mercury Rev, Moby, Lloyd Cole, The Cardigans, Mark Geary, Brendan O'Shea and blink-182.
Then Paradigm Records closed, and Blink and their good friend, renowned producer and Ministry founder, Howie Beno (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blondie) agreed to go ahead regardless, with plans for the third album. And so Deep Inside The Sound Of Sadness, the brand new album, was born.
Individual members of the band have been active in the music scene in Dublin in recent years, but the band itself is inactive, with no gigs or new music planned.
The text below applies to [5] the band from London, UK.
Formed in 2004 out of a collaboration between pianist Alcyona and French saxophonist/clarinettist Robin Fincker, Blink has been playing since 2006 with drummer/percussionist Paul Clarvis. .. A member of Londonโs Loop Collective, the trio plays mostly original material by Alcyona and Robin. They recorded their debut album in the prestigious Abbey Rd studios, available now on Loop records. Interested in all kinds of new encounters Blink have performed with French saxophonists Guillaume Orti and Stephane Payen, poet Paul Hyland, string quartet Solid Strings and for a Len Lye silent film.
First Date
Blink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To pick you up on our very first date
Is it cool if I hold your hand?
Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance?
Do you like my stupid hair?
Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear?
I'm just scared of what you think
You make me nervous so I really can't eat
Let's go
Don't wait
This night's almost over
Honest, let's make
This night last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
When you smile, I melt inside
I'm not worthy for a minute of your time
I really wish it was only me and you
I'm jealous of everybody in the room
Please don't look at me with those eyes
Please don't hint that you're capable of lies
I dread the thought of our very first kiss
A target that I'm probably gonna miss
Let's go
Don't wait
This night's almost over
Honest, let's make
This night last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
Let's go
Don't wait
This night's almost over
Honest, let's make
This night last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever
The lyrics of blink-182's song "First Date" describe the nervous excitement of a young man on his first date with a girl he really likes. He can't wait to pick her up and holds her hand, but worries about impressing her with his appearance and dance moves. He feels insecure around her and is afraid of rejection or disappointment. The singer is completely smitten with the object of his affections; he is filled with butterflies when she smiles and wishes he could have her to himself, rather than sharing her with other people in the room.
The song represents the universal experience of falling head over heels in love for the first time. It is upbeat and catchy, with a pop-punk vibe that perfectly captures the emotions of infatuation and nervousness. The chorus repeats the desire to make the night last forever, indicating the singer's desperation to prolong this moment in time and to make it perfect. However, there is also a subtle hint of sadness in the song, as the singer is aware that the night is almost over and that he may not have a second chance with the girl if things don't go well.

It was an amazing time to be in HS/college. Being the last generation who knows what life was like pre internet, cell phones, computers etc is another element to this whole thing
Life was just โsimplerโ lol I mean for kids who turned 14 in 98 like me. We actually rode bikes, played pick up games at the park & our lives werenโt ruled by organized sports (we were all jocks, and I ended up played D1 college baseball) We played travel sports but we still played street hockey, basketball, football, whenever we could. Our only rules were be home at 1230/1p for lunch & 530/6p for dinner, then when the street lights came on, we went home
If we left a friends house we had to call to tell our parents where weโd be next & that was about it. We were the last generation who had the โfreedomโ to do what we wanted, within reason, and of course there was the music
Itโs why I love Blink so much and always have (plus girls loved them lol so that was a plus) bc they were โusโ, they wrote songs about โourโ experiences, and they were just fun.
The music back then was so much better & the variety of great songs across all genres was just amazing. The hip hop & rap. Alternative rock. Pop rock. Pop.
Literally 100s of great bands & acts

@danny91pr
my dad is 44 years old he grew up listening to black Sabbath, iron mainden , twisted sister, ac/dc etc...
Im 23 and I grew up listening to green day, foo fighters, linkin park, blink 182 , my chemical romance, Eminem etc...
And kids these days grow up listening to lil wayne, Justin Bieber etc..(I honestly cant name many "new" bands)
But my point is that every generation has its music.
My grandparents thought the music my dad liked was garbage.
My dad thinks the music I listen to isn't all that good.
And I don't really care for new music coming out these days.
We are all getting old and soย is the music we enjoy, soย get over it and just
enjoy the classicsย !
@user-nj5pd4ms6x
What's funny is the fact that it's a song about being with a girl that you love but the video is just a great time with the boys
@jacobsanchez4475
Maybe its really abouy a date with the boys.

Maybe the true message was the main priority is having a epic time with the bois then you make out with the person you want to spend and devote your life to

Love or hate him, Tom brought a lot of personality to the band and took a lot with him when he left. Can't replace that.
@g2gmedia745
That's exactly why some hate him so much. He brought so much to blink 182 and when he nosedived everything went down with him. Had he not fucked up, we'd still have blink 182 world tours.
@isetmfriendsofire
Man, he threw out that personality himself in, like, 2011. Maybe sooner.
