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 London’s 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.
Not Now
Blink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I am not sorry now.
Field of dreams never achieved,
But I am not sorry now.
While I wait,
And while my heart breaks,
I drift away in dreams with
Passion of spring
Is not a lasting thing,
But I am not sorry now.
While I wait,
And while my heart breaks,
I drift away in dreams with
All the friends I've made
So I dont care,
That I'm not where I planned I would be,
I am not sorry now.
I am not sorry now.
While I wait,
And while my heart breaks,
I drift away in dreams with
All the friends I've made.
So I don't care,
That I'm not where I planned id be
I am not sorry now.
I am not sorry now,
I am not sorry now.
I am not sorry now.
The lyrics to Blink's song Not Now speak to the idea of letting go of regret and finding solace in dreaming and the relationships formed along the way.

Line by Line Meaning
Falling star never caught,
I did not achieve what I wanted, but I have come to terms with it.
But I am not sorry now.
I am at peace with not achieving my dreams.
Field of dreams never achieved,
I could not make my aspirations a reality.
While I wait,
During this time I am waiting for something to happen.
And while my heart breaks,
Despite the pain I may be feeling.
I drift away in dreams with all the friends I've made.
I escape my worries by reminiscing with my loved ones.
Passion of spring is not a lasting thing,
Excitement in life tends not to last.
So I don't care,
I am nonchalant in regards to my current circumstances.
That I'm not where I planned I would be,
Life has not led me to the destination I once envisioned.
I am not sorry now.
I do not regret where I am in life.
I am not sorry now.
I am content with my situation.
I am not sorry now.
I have accepted my life as it is now.
I am not sorry now.
I have no feelings of remorse regarding my past.

I always used to listen to this song while on the bus going to my crush's house. Literally, everytime I came over, this is the song I played. That was almost 9 years ago today and we are now 7 years in. I'm gonna ask her to marry me after all this pandemic nonsense is over.
Wish me luck, my dudes and dudets 🤙🏼
Edit: She said yes!!! Thank you guys for all the support. Have a great year, everyone!!
Edit 2: we're gonna get married next week!!! Thank you guys for all the support. Best of luck to y'all!! 💕

LYRICS
Come here, please hold my hand for now
Help me, I'm scared please show me how to fight this,
God has a master plan and I guess
I am in His demand
Please save me, this time I cannot run
And I'll see you when this is done
And now I have come to realize
That you are the one who's left behind
Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here hold on
To me I'm right here waiting
I see, a light it feels good
And I'll come back soon just like you would
It's useless, my name has made the list
And I wish, I gave you one last kiss
Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here hold on
To me I'm right here waiting
And take my one last breath,
And don't forget
That I will be right here waiting
Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here hold on
To me I'm right here waiting
And take my one last breath,
And don't forget
That I will be right here waiting
Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here hold on
To me I'm right here waiting
And take my one last breath,
And don't forget
That I will be right here waiting
