@boxcarracermusic: Tom DeLonge — The Pursuit of Tone “Stay Together for the Kids” — 2016 🎥 @havenlamoureux @dustin.hinz “Stay Together for the Kids” was about what stays with you. Long after the moment itself is gone. Tom played it like he was revisiting a room he never really left, a song born from a broken home, now carried by someone who had lived with it long enough to understand what it really meant. It was about what happens when a family is torn apart and the kids are left standing inside it, wondering why it happened. Looking back, this was one of the first signs you could hear the change coming. And the hurt underneath it all finally had room to breathe. #tomdelonge #blink182 #boxcarracer #thepursuitoftone #staytogetherforthekids
Nothing against Mark and Travis but Tom was and is the heart of Blink182

If it’s what he wants and it’s what she wants then why’s there so much pain

To be able to write both music and lyrics from punk to pop to anthemic and futuristic sounds..Tom truly lives on a different frequency

I was 16. I remember getting home with my Dad and seeing outlines on the walls of where my Mom's artwork used to hang. That's how we both found out that she left. Those indelible marks have left me scarred forever.

I never knew my dad growing up. But I, myself, went thru a divorce where we tried for the kids. This song hits so different for me. They’re so damaged because of us. I cry to this song for different reasons

I wrote a whole paper about this song in high school. It meant so much to me because it really was exactly how I felt about coming from a broken home.

Such an awesome blink song. And I’ve listened to the Box Car Racer album on repeat ever since it came out in 2002. Love Blink, love Box Car Racer, love Plus +44. You guys are my childhood and adolescence. Thank you for getting me through hard times 🫶🏼🤍.

And Tom has definitely mastered the art of evoking that emotion in the songs he has written. I relate to so much that Tom went through; I went through many of the same things including divorced parents. I feel like many of the songs blink-182 has written narrates my life.

This song is what made me stay so long in a marriage that made me feel useless and invisible. But it also made me realize clear communication to the kids would help them know it wasn’t the end of their world. Just evolving.
