![]() Liz Friedlander, the director of the "Adam's Song" music video - which became an MTV hit, with regular play on Total Request Live - says everyone relates to the song in their own way. Then you feel bad for some of those emotions, because some of them are just really, really ugly. ![]() "You feel so many different emotions all at once. "It connected me with with Adam, and it also helped me feel everything," she says, explaining that surviving when Adam had not had been one of the hardest things to process. One day she was scrolling through her phone to find music for a run, and rediscovered "'Adam's Song." "It felt like I had too much good fortune to complain about anything."īerlin says she'd learned in therapy that physical exertion could help calm her down. "It feels ridiculous saying, 'Our band's doing really good, but personally, I'm not feeling like I'm connecting,' " Hoppus says. So he felt weird talking about how he depressed and isolated he felt. The next record was poised to be an even bigger hit. Blink-182 bassist and singer Mark Hoppus says he was at a professional high when "Adam's Song" was born: Dude Ranch, the album before Enema, had gotten major-label distribution and sold better than expected. Talking about these things isn't easy - even for the guy who wrote the song. I just wanted to make sure he had a piece of that, even if I wasn't around." Kennedy says his emotional life has changed for the better since then: "I was able to work with it rather than against it, and just try and learn about myself and keep it at bay, even if it's still here." He still hasn't told his friend about that note. "Because that's how I looked at our friendship: It was a great and beautiful thing. "I just wanted him to have the things that meant the most in the world to me, which were my instruments," he says. He says he had a particular friend in mind.
