Blink 182 - I Miss You

This is the second single to be lifted from Blink's eponymous sixth album proper, an album that sees the boys losing their addiction for boobies and booze somewhat and focusing more on the deeper things in life like wives and love. Although it may sound like a butcher attempting brain surgery, San Diego's (most?) famous sons have delivered something unique in their latest three and a half minute offering.

With a rolling drum beat that's half rock and half little drummer boy, the tune is much mellower than previously witnessed, with talk of breasts and enemas replaced by quirky lines like, "We'll have Hallowe'en on Christmas."

It's not in the same league as All The Small Things or What's My Age Again?, and I'm not quite sure what to make of the cheesy pop "call and response" chorus between Tom and Mark, but I'm sure the fans will love it.
