Shortly after forming they enlisted Milo Aukerman and made what started out a surf band into a full fledged punk unit. Descendents have diverged from their punk peers, perhaps because of the Beach Boys influences, and sang about topics that touched many young punks' lives like parents, food, girls and being rejected.
This band separated due to Milo actually going to college (he attended the University of California, San Diego) just like the title of their debut. This and other constraints have made them famous for their long hiatuses, which are sometimes a decade span in length. The band has now spread out across their country of origin and their future is somewhat uncertain.
Lead singer Milo Aukerman currently resides in Newark, Delaware. He was a biochemist for the internationally known DuPont Chemical company, which is based out of Delaware. However, whenever the end of Descendents seemed to be approaching, Milo popped up again and the band released a new record. Aukerman then later returned to his academic duties in teaching biochemistry. He then quit his academic life to pursue a career in music fulltime.
She Loves Me
Descendents Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She loves me even though it's not been said
And if anything means anything then this means something good
And I guess I'd love her back if I only could
She loves me I can see it when she smiles ear to ear
She loves me and I'm sure that she can't hear
How I scream out for someone else when I'm asleep or by myself
Her love could never grow sour
Becomes more pure with every hour
And I never wanted anything like that from her
But still she loves me she loves me
She loves me it's not just in my head
She loves me even though it's not been said
And if anything means anything then this means something good
I guess I'd love her back if I only could
She loves me and I know she can accept me for myself
She loves me but I'm sure that she can't help
How I'm this close to cashing in
How I chase dreams that don't exist
How I hate girls and I hate my life
The pain that rips me tears me ruins me
And her love could never grow sour
It grows more pure with every hour
I never wanted anything like that from her
But still she loves me
(Now I don't have to be all by myself)
She loves me
(She don't love no one else)
She loves me
The way she loves me
The way she loves me
