Not Now

Today I listened to what will probably be the last single ever released by Blink 182, Not Now. I was just sitting there playing Pokemon, I know...so lame, and I heard the intro.
I was like, this sounds like Blink style of music but a little darker...I was thinking I've never heard this song and I knew they aren't together anymore. But then I heard Tom's voice and I knew it was them. I mean, it sounded like Box Car a little, but I knew Tom wasn't furthering that band any more. So it turned out it was a previously unreleased old song. It was beautiful. It made me so sad...
Last night I was reading an interview with Tom where he discussed the 'hiatus' and it was just so sad. Apperently he chose his family over touring more with Blink...and Mark and Travis said, "If your family is going to be your priority, then you better be cool with the repercussions." The song before 'Not Now' had been 'Swing Life Away' by Rise Against (my said song that represents Kaleb...) and I was thinking of Steven and Kaleb...
When I heard this song though all those feelings melted away and all I could think about was Blink and Tom...and how even some of the most famous people can have their hearts broken by the ones they love the most... They aren't so different from us after all...
