The song was the lowest charting single from the album, but the song's music video received extensive play on music video channels. Like much of the album, the song shows the band's 1980s influences, with the multiple-layered, heavily effected guitars and new moving ridge synthesizers.

Background [edit]

All three of the band members associated the song with the music of the 1980s. Tom DeLonge, in an interview with MTV News, described the song as a "dear vocal."[1]

In another interview with MTV News, DeLonge explained the vocal and addressed the lyrics of the choruses, jokingly:

The vocal is about wanting to hold a chick all night long and kiss her and touch her and taste her and feel her and all these nifty adjectives. Verbs really, there's some adjectives in in that location, but mostly verbs and nouns. Some pronouns too, but not as well many of those.[2]

Limerick [edit]

"Ever" was written by bassist Mark Hoppus, drummer Travis Barker, and guitarist Tom DeLonge, while sung by DeLonge and Hoppus and produced by Jerry Finn.[3] The song is composed in the fundamental of B major and is set in fourth dimension signature of common time with a tempo of 158 beats per minute. The vocal range spans from A3 to D7.[4] Referred to as "the '80s song" during production, "Always" features an uptempo backbeat combined with a New Romantic-era keyboard, and pulls from new moving ridge influences.[1] [3] The vocal'due south outro features four separate bass guitars being played; Hoppus uses a Fender Bass VI, a Fender Precision Bass "doing two different things," and a Roland Synth Bass.[3] Barker pulled from Missing Persons for inspiration whilst creating the song'southward percussion.[3]

Journalist Joe Shooman pointed out that the song's key guitar riff is remescient of The Only Ones' "Another Daughter, Some other Planet" (1979).[v] He called information technology "the thickest-textured Blink track of all-time," and acknowledged its tribute to 1980s synth-driven popular.[5]

Chart success and live history [edit]

"Always" was announced every bit the fourth and concluding single from Blink-182 in August 2004. "It's gonna alter people's lives and might actually alter the world forever," guitarist Tom DeLonge jokingly predicted.[2] It was commencement serviced to radio in mid-November 2004.[1]

The song was merely performed twice in its original release, prior to the band'southward "indefinite hiatus."[six] It has nonetheless been performed regularly since the band'southward return.

Music video [edit]

The vocal's music video features a unique split up screen technique, seen hither.

The music video for "Always" was directed by Joseph Kahn. The grouping shot it while on tour in Commonwealth of australia in mid-2004, at the same studio infinite used by the Wiggles.[9] It features Australian popular vocalizer Sophie Monk. The video is displayed every bit iii horizontal panels,[6] in which Monk flirts with DeLonge, Hoppus and Barker. However, the panels sever the onscreen participants in three. Monk appears as a fractured whole, while parts of the band members combine to brand one character.[i] The trio's characters attempt to plead with Monk, trying to repair a damaged relationship, which are depicted through fights, arguments, and "the occasional making-up/making-out," which is handled by Barker.[6] In reference to the video, DeLonge said "Information technology's like doing an algebraic formulation on paper when you watch it. It'due south the same kind of feeling [...] simply it'south rad."[1] Bassist Marking Hoppus called it the most technically complicated video the band always had to shoot, as it required choreographed positioning in real time.[9] The video was photographed by Brad Rushing and edited by David Blackburn who won the MVPA Best Editing Laurels for his piece of work.

The song was a hit on music video channels,[half-dozen] where it was among the virtually-played on Fuse, MTV2 and MuchMusic into January 2005.[10]
