Seperti yg udah banyak diperbincangkan, Tom pernah memeainkan sepotong lagu ini sewaktu dia masih di Blink-182, ada yg bilang klo ini cikal bakal lagu Start The Machine, tp ad pula yg bilang klo ini bagian dari lagu Secret Crowds.. Tp.. klo menurut gw pribadi ini lagu bagian dr Secret Crowds.. yg skrg lagu itu ada di Angels & Airwaves album I-Empire..
The Machine lagu bonus track di UK
klo lo dengerin lagunya, itu kyk remix lagu Start The Machine di gabung sama Secret Crowds, tp liriknya Start The Machine Import.flv (499 KB)

Distraction
I’ll be your distraction I’ll be your distraction
There’s a field nearby With words written in stone My love will not die Please let it be known This place is dead It echoes through town There isn’t one voice I haven’t heard a sound The planes flew in Their bombs did too The city fell flat The fires, they grew When the smoke comes in It’ll color this town But I’ll still have you So I’ll say it aloud
I’ll be your distraction I’ll be your distraction
The friendship we made Is a waste of our time There’s no one left here To show future that’s kind It’s a world of hate Gone incredibly wrong We cared too late We just followed along And the boys went down With a gun in their hand Their weapon of choice Their knees in the sand If that field nearby Was still there to be used Would you ever have known? Those words were for you
I’ll be your distraction I’ll be your distraction Seperti yg Tom bilang klo album We Dont Need To Whisper dibuat berdasarkan tentang Perang khususnya Perang Dunia II, jadi lirik ini jg sebenernya metaphor dr kejadian sewaktu dan sesudah perang itu sendiri.. dan yg menjadi "Distraction" dari perang itu sendiri adalah Cinta dan Kematian.
Do you hear me out there I can hear you. I got you I can hear you alright. This is so strange, I want to wish for something new, This is the scariest thing I've ever done in my life, Who do we think we are? We're Angels and Airwaves? Just hold on I got you. I can see the sun coming up on the horizon Berbicara kpd para fans akan keinginan mereka, walaupun terdengar aneh, Tom menginginkan sesuatu yg baru walaupun dengan sulit rasanya untuk melakukannya yaitu membuat Angels & Airwaves, Tom cuma bs bilang kpd fansnya untuk memberikan yg terbaik sebaik Matahari terbit.
Everyone, everyone will listen Even if it hurts sometimes If you will come and hear the message Everyone wants to learn to love again Open up and come alive if you will Can you hear my message? Leave your pain on the bedroom floor again Bring a smile to survive And do you think that you have that in you If you're here and you're all alone tonight Then I'll give you a free ride Take a chance cause I know you want to Tom berkata agar semuanya menerima apa adanya walaupun sakit rasanya, Tom coba untuk belajar cinta dan mencintai sebuah cinta yg dulu tdk dirasakannya, terimalah cinta dan akan terasa lebih hidup. tinggalkan segala kenangan masa lalu, melihat kedepan dengan senyuman yg ada didalam dirinya dan akan memberikan kesempatan untuk sesuatu yg menyenangkan krn Tom menginginkan itu.
If only you'll hold on, just hold on I'm here and I'm with you I'm here too, I feel you We'll get through I know this I've seen it A hundred times a thousand times Just one more time With you and I, I'll pull you close And then we'll say goodbye Disini menceritakan tentang keputusannya keluar dr Blink yg Tom sendiri merasa lama kelamaan pasti dia keluar dr Blink walaupun dia merasa berat sekali meninggalkan Blink, tp tekadnya sudah bulat dan.. Goodbye Blink-182
I've got a lotta oh hell of a lot to say Even if it hurts sometimes And if you will come and hear the message And everyone everyone will hope and pray That the best will sure survive And if it's true then you'll feel the message A perfect life for a perfect brand new day And we're the next in line And do you think that you have that in you So if you're here and you're curious tonight Then I'll give you a free ride Take a chance cause I know you want to
Banyak alasan yg mau dikeluarkanya walaupun terkadang sakit untuk mengutarakannya, klo kalian menyadarinya bahwa yg terbaik yg bakal bertahan, dan jika itu benar dan bs ngerasain pesan dr semua ini sebuah hidup baru yg sempurna menunggu didepan kita, klo kalian semua punya keinginan tsb maka Tom dan AVA nya bs melakuakan untuk kalian.
If only you'll hold on, just hold on I'm here and I'm with you I'm here too I feel you We'll get through I know this, I've seen it A hundred times, a thousand times Just one more time With you and I, I'll pull you close And then we'll say goodbye
Who do you think we are? We're Angels and Airwaves Hehe... 2 bait terakhir ini kerennya... "Who do you think we are? We're Angels and Airwaves"
singkat kata: Dilirik lagu ini menceritakan sesuatu tentang Blink, dan terbentuknya Angels & Airwaves
Welcome to the Meg & Dia tour diary documenting their ongoing tour with Angels & Airwaves. Read part four below, revisit part one, part two and part three. Click here to see the remaining tour dates.
Thick layers of snow and Ice covered the streets of Columbus, Ohio. The sensation of feeling my toes or the tips of my fingers no longer belonged to me. I felt like I could finally be a proud member of the "smokers circle" the way big billows of what could easily pass as cigarette smoke escaped my blue lips. The only good thing about this depressing weather was the fact that I could now abuse my option of making fun of all the dudes in my band for each wearing a pair of Meg & Dia leggings underneath their skinny jeans. Oh, what joy this season brings! But...not really. Once inside the venue, which we folks like to refer to as The Newport Theater, I followed the neon orange arrows taped to the floor to a creaky spiraling staircase leading to our green room, all the while pausing for a few moments in the areas where the heaters created small patches of heaven. Ace Enders and a Million Different People, The Color Fred, and ourselves were to share a tiny, well-tagged greenroom. Under the chaotic circumstances, although we would spend all our time bumping into each other, shouting tired "EXCUSE ME'S!", and searching for our purses, messenger bags, and coats in a large looming pile in the corner, I appreciated the much needed bonding time. As I walked onto the stage, following the pathway our guitar tech Ping made with his miniature flashlight, I thought about what I think about before every show we play: "How in the hell did I get so lucky?" And then we played our show. And then we loaded out our equipment in the snow. And then we made ourselves peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches and had a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios. And then I got to the most interesting part of my night... I watched the Angels set tonight. I know that most bands won't admit this so I will: We don't watch each other's sets EVERY NIGHT of the tour. Hushed silence steals over you readers... I know, I know. But, if you could just get over your surprise I'll continue on with this blog. I rested my elbows on a drum case on the side of the stage behind Angel's tour manager, Chris. He offered (like he usually does because he's just a freakin' sweet guy) his ear phones to me, which allow him to hear Tom's mix. Tonight I just wanted to feel the show. But instead of being drawn to the frontman, or checking out the guitar players, for some reason my attention kept sweeping back to Atom, the drummer. He just looked so majestic when he played. He kept glancing at Chris with this huge grin over his flashing crash cymbols every time he completed a difficult fill. It was just pure happiness like I've never seen before. I watched his arms, with all that muscle, and all that sweat dripping from his forehead... (No I'm not checking him out! Pay attention!) He was a machine. He was happy. He was so good at what he does. I thought about how far he must have come to get to that point and how far I still have to go, but mostly I thought about how much I want to. After a few songs, Atom (the drum god) did slip up in all his glory while attempting a sweeping fill from one side of the kit to the other. Incidentally the drum stick dinged Dave, their guitar player, in the back of the head. Dave turned to look back at us over on the side of the stage with a goofy grin and just gave us a "What in the blazes was that?" look. Atom smiled sheepishly and continued on with the show. And of course, I admired that, too, because that's what live shows are all about: playing and continuing no matter what. Even if all the drunk frat dudes are moshing in your slow songs just because you're an opener, even if horny scene guys are screaming at you to take off your shirt because you're a girl, even if older-jaded attendees call out an over-played cover song for you to attempt to massacre because you might be a bit too "poppy" for their taste. Even if... Learn something every day I guess. And in conclusion I would like to add this bit of knowledge I found in our dressing room today in Missouri: "Life is a waste of time, and time is a waste of life, so get wasted all of the time and have the time of your life."-Anonymous. See, like I said, ya learn something new everyday. -Meg Frampton  AvA |  AvA |  AvA |  AvA |  AvA |  Fred |  AvA |  AvA

Everyone told me the altitude changes experienced through constant travel must have caused my illness. Crew members and band members had all caught the "bug" at one point or another along this tour so far. It was my turn to dance the favorite waltz of tour with the most esteemed partner. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce: The flu. The Flu, being the tyrant he is, demanded full use of my faculties two days ago. The inconsiderate louse wasn't even kind enough to ask permission that he might invade my immune system while I was enjoying the most important tour of my band to date! I bundled up the best I could the night I fell ill, sticking my frozen toes next to the heater in the van and praying the engine would rush the heating process. Drinking an exuberant amount of liquids and avoiding unnecessary physical activity became my top priorities. I'm also proud to add I even refrained from indulging in the Dunkin Donuts across the street from the venue we played at. To no avail, the next morning I woke up to dizziness, nausea, no sense of taste or smell, and the worst part about it: I couldn't talk! No back-up vocals for Meg and Dia and no more "smart-aleck" remarks to every line Dia says on stage in between songs. I don't even get to give my sister a hard time on stage today?! What's left to live for?! Begrudgingly, I entered the venue on the next day with only head-nods and thumbs-up and thumbs-down signs as means of communication. I straggled along behind Dia most of the time so that she might be my interpreter just in case I might come across anyone needing anything other then a "yes" or "no" answer from me. Thank goodness, between her and I, we enjoy the benefits of powers of sisterly ESP and there's really no need to actually talk when I need to communicate anything with her. Everyone on tour, sensing my surprising silence, asked me what was wrong. Dia told them. I vacated the venue for not more than two hours, when upon my reentry I was bombarded with generosity. Crew guys offered me gifts of nasal congestion spray, claritin, and sudafed. Tour managers gave me sliced lemon, and herbal tea. One lumbering loader wagged an indignant pointer finger at me and managed to manually adjust the zipper of my winter coat while huffing in a concerned fatherly tone, "Not in this weather. You're sick!" Dia took my shoes off when I passed out, exhausted, on the green room couch. Jonathan, our bass player, brought me cough medicine. Constantly, the state of my health was inquired. Concern was delivered. I almost wanted to burst into tears out of stupefied gratitude. The thing that people don't understand about tour is: We've all been doing this for awhile (some longer than others) but we all understand that our time spent with each other will be brief and we all want to make it memorable and enjoy it. When you are on tour, you become family. And I love my family on the Angels tour! -Meg Frampton

We have had the very good fortune of being part of a tour with not only awesome bands but sweet tour managers, sound guys, and crew members as well. They are always in good spirits. While passing through their busy work zones, one will hear low mumbling only coherent to each of them, and although they are completely engrossed in their task at hand, they always have time to lift their sweaty brows long enough for a smile and a polite nod. One of them, whom we refer to as "Doug," even stopped his tugging and pulling of a gigantic entangled cord to tell me the logo I had wood-burned into my amp would be a great design for a T-shirt for our band. "So you do care about our little old support band!" I thought to myself. They are such nice guys. Over a meal at Sushi 101 in North Carolina, Chris (Angels' tour manager) explained Angels' meaning and purpose to their songs and band. In a previous conversation we had had, I told him of my frustrations I have at times when I'm doubtful of my message through our lyrics being understood by our audiences. He listened very intently, and in a wise tone proceeded to explain Angels' story: "Haven't you ever seen Angels' set all the way through? Tom gives this speech at the end about not caring so much about what other people think of you. He wants the crowd to just be themselves and not worry about anything and just listen to the music. Don't worry about being judged by what you listen to, or what you wear, or what you say. Just be for a minute..." On a side note, on an off-day I was watching some Jim Morrison interviews on YouTube. He said something in the same vein. He said that the purpose of a "rock show" is to make the people feel like "one" when they are there together and then when they leave and go to their cars in the parking lot they still feel like "one," and the purpose of the show is to keep that "togetherness" going as long as possible even after the show is over. So from Jim Morrison and Angels I am gaining valuable headway on ideas for my next record. Basically, I'm learning on this tour that people care about you, and they are doing this for you and to help you, and it's important to realize that. -Meg Frampton

Welcome to the Meg & Dia tour diary documenting their ongoing tour with Angels & Airwaves. Read part one below, and click here to see the remaining dates.
We drove up to the venue not really sure of what to expect. We saw the two buses and a production truck. I could feel my heart race. We found a cozy parking space and I jumped out of the van. "First day!" I thought to myself. Not even 10 minutes after we arrived, Tom DeLonge walked up to me and Carlo and introduced himself. He was so kind and easy to talk to, I had forgotten all my early anxieties. He asked how our drive had been and how we felt about the tour. I told him how excited we all were to start on this journey and how thankful we were. After that first conversation, we all felt we could talk to the entire band about anything and everything.
All of Angels & Airwaves are so supportive. They don't hide away on their bus all day. They come out and chat before shows and show eagerness towards all of the other bands' endeavors. In a way, it's sort of like we have a bunch of older brothers looking after us. For example, one night we were having a meeting with our manager and we were discussing the next record. Tom appeared in the doorway, asked us what we were talking about, and continued to offer some grateful advice. We listened with open ears and thankful hearts. It's been an enchanting experience, sharing a stage with them and I can't wait to see what happens as the rest of the tour unfolds!
