Sadcore Sundays: “Adam’s Song” by Blink 182

Sadcore Sundays: "Adam's Song" by Blink 182

It’s the 20th anniversary of Blink 182’s album “Enema of the State,” so we’re featuring a song from it about depression, suicidal ideations, and loneliness called “Adam’s Song.” At the time, bassist and singer Mark Hoppus felt he didn’t have any right to be depressed because their album, tour and band were hugely successful. Because of this, he didn’t want to talk about it with anyone. However, once he released the song, many fans resonated with his feelings and expressed their support. I hope this song provides a cathartic relief for anyone struggling with depression or feeling unworthy of being sad. Regardless of how well off you are or how many great things are going on in your life, you can have depression, and you are worthy of those emotions.
