Today we are going to learn how to play "Adam' Song" by Blink 182 on the Ukulele. A classic 90s pop punk group, Blink 182 often covered funny and light hearted topics to fast intense bass lines and guitar riffs all glued together by the famous drumming over the famous drummer over the 90s, Travis Baker. This song is a big U turn from that style into a much darker and more serious topic, suicide, but despite the dark tones of the song it is actually meant to be a song of hope and inspiration and the person who is narrating the story doesn't kill themselves and decides to live on and keep fighting, despite his sadness.
