How Can I Feel Alive When I’m Scared To Death Of Dying?

last week i had all time low in the studio. they are working on songs for their new album and asked if i would be interested in co-writing with them. co-writing is always an awkward experience at first. hey, how about you get into a studio with a bunch of people you’ve never met before and see what happens? so i had the basic outline of a song and alex came in and listened to it, liked it, and we got to work. alex, jack, chris holmes, and i grinded away at it, and three days later we walked out of the studio with what i think is a really great song. very upbeat and very catchy. i can’t wait for it to be released. more info as it becomes available.

  48. Liene Says:

    new news ^^

    these news make my feel so happy.

    wait 4 new songs :)

  49. renee Says:

    i’m just testing to see if this will be posted or not, since it seems i’m no longer allowed to post here. what’s the dealeo? are you afraid of me? i promise i’m not scary. i’m starting to get a bit pissed. i’ve been supporting you for a long time, and i can’t even post on your website? i don’t even see how these comments could offend you or anyone else. if you’re trying to protect my niece, that’s awesome, but i didn’t see any harm in her sending you a message. she was actually spending the weekend with me, and found my copy of tales from beneath your mom, and was looking at the pictures, and she thought you were “cute”. She knows of blink from me, and she wanted to listen to “mark” when we were driving places. i let her listen to a few songs i thought were appropriate, for her. i thought it was cool that she was showing some interest in blink other than the hip hop and high school musical stuff she enjoys. it just seems really disrespectful, and it’s really disappointing for me, since i’ve considered you a huge inspiration. if i’m taking this all the wrong way, i appologize, but if i’m not, i think you’re rude. Do you appreciate the people who have felt they could relate to you and helped make you successful? just wondering.

    Mark, you have idea of how many Brazilians love you and your song?
    How many people here in Brazil put behind the door of the room your poster?
    More than half of Brazil grew by listening your music and laughing of your jokes
    Or trying as I explain in another language as you are important here.
    You created a music that nobody can make equal and turned a myth!
    i love you and your song, thanks for everything. ♥

  74. Erick Says:

    That’ so totally Kick Ass … especially since I first saw All Time Low (i didnt know the band) a long time ago.. so random in that show they finished with a blink song… i said now that so totally was awsome …

    wel anyways yes I started to like them, just because they were fans of Blink… (though yeah they played really good) Anyways now seeing their success through time, and all the sudden now They actually managed to be in Studio with you *GNARLY!! All Though yeah they probably got in contact with you guys a while back in the *When Punk Goes Acoustic . .i think .. if I’m wrong hehee sorry my bad.

    Well Just Awsome Kick Ass News .. and Keep us Updated, release a Video or something from the studio, so we could all hear the RAW sound of it, and Duhhh Let us know anything of the Amazing +44 … and for as *Blink The was a hell of Kick Ass Ride!!!
