Week Ninety-One: Workout Tunes - Blink-182 - "All the Small Things" - Enema of the State

Many years ago, I invested in a Sansa/SanDisk/SlotRadio mp3 player that arrived with an SD-card pre-loaded with 1000 songs. As an added bonus, they even arranged the songs into playlists, one such playlist being Workout Tunes. Since I have kept true to my New Year's resolution of walking around White Rock Lake, I have been making use of these Workout Tunes and will share a few with you this week:


#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%

I will start today's post by telling you that the first Blink-182 song that I ever heard was "M+M's" back in the early 90's (included below the lyrics). Therefore, when I heard "All the Small Things", I could hardly believe that it was the same band. It was unnerving, in fact! Their original punk sound had turned so tame and poppy...

When I was walking around the lake, however, I realized that pop-punk provides a fantastic soundtrack for working out, and I totally understand why they chose to add today's song to that playlist.

Another Blink-182 song that appears on the Alternative playlist is "I Miss You", so I will include that one for you today too...



All the, small things
True care, truth brings
I'll take, one lift
Your ride, best trip
Always, I know
You'll be at my show
Watching, waiting, commiserating
Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, na...
Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs, surprises let me know she cares
Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, na...
Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill, the night will go on, my little windmill
Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill, the night will go on, my little windmill
