Thomas Matthew DeLonge, Jr. (born December 13, 1975), is an American musician, singer, songwriter, author, and entrepreneur. He is currently the guitarist and lead vocalist of the rock band Angels & Airwaves and was the guitarist and co-lead vocalist of the American rock band Blink-182 from 1992 to 2015. DeLonge grew up in the suburbs of Poway, California, where he embraced skateboarding at an early age. DeLonge received his first guitar shortly thereafter and began writing original punk rock songs. He formed Blink-182 with bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Scott Raynor during his high school years. The band created a following in the mid-1990s through independent releases and relentless touring, particularly in their home country and in Australia. They signed to MCA Records in 1996 and their second album, Dude Ranch (1997), featured the hit single "Dammit".
The group encountered bigger success with Enema of the State (1999), which featured three hit singles and went quadruple-platinum in the US, eventually selling upwards of 15 million copies worldwide. Blink-182 scored a number one album with 2001's Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. DeLonge experimented with post-hardcore music on Box Car Racer, which formed into a full-fledged band in 2002, but dissolved the following year. Blink's eponymous fifth studio album (2003) reflected a change in tone within the group, which broke up in 2005 following internal tension, spearheaded by DeLonge.
Only You may refer to:
"Only You" is the love duet from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express. It is performed by the protagonist, Rusty, a young steam locomotive and his true love, the observation car, Pearl.
"Only You" is in fact the second version of the show-stopping love song at the 11th hour in Starlight Express. In the Original London production, Pearl sang a solo "Only He", a passionate power ballad originally performed by Stephanie Lawrence. At the end of this solo Rusty came to find Pearl, and together they sang a very short reprise of the song, "Only You". "Only He" proved to be a highly demanding song, coming shortly after the performers have raced at up to 30mph on roller skates, and it was found this song in this context was too demanding for most performers to sing.
"Only You" is essentially Pearl's solo "Only He", as opposed to the reprise version in the original, re-arranged as a duet between Pearl and Rusty, with the most demanding octave leap passages removed. It replaced "Only He" in London in 1987. This simplified duet version was used in all productions from Broadway until the 1992 London re-vamp. This version is in nature sweet and reflective, less of a show-stopper but more in keeping with the character's journeys.
Only You (非你不可) is a Chinese series; The storyline surrounds an inevitable love triangle that unraveled during a Beijing summer. It stars Taiwanese actress Ruby Lin and Mainland actor Chen Kun.
Look at me, a woman, calm and in control
No silly girl who's head's always turning
Nobody would guess that, deep inside my soul
A brand new fla-ame is burning
Only you... have the power to move me...
And together we'd make the whole world move in sympathy
But I couldn't see before-ore
And only you-ou... have the power to move me...
Take me, hold me, mould me, change me and impro-ove me
It's not funny any more-ore - any more-ore
There was I, wondering why
Every day disappeared into the distance
Now with you, the light is shining through
You gave me life, not just existance
Only you-ou... have the power to move me...
And together we'd make the whole world move in sympathy
You have the power to move me
All the nights I've wasted, dreaming of the time
When I'd discovered the one to guide me
Searching the horizon, didn't realise
That all the time she was beside me
Only you-ou... have the power to move me...
And together we'd make the whole world move in sympathy
Hope and pray that I'm in ti-ime..., I'm in ti-ime...
Only he can stand and wait that long
Stand by me while I was going wrong
What if she couldn't wait
Have I left it too late
Only you-ou... have the power to move me...
And together we'll make the whole world move in sympathy
Brighten up the darkest sky-y
Brighten up the darkest sky-y-y
If only you-ou... use the power to move me
Take me, hold me, mould me, change me and impro-ove me
Only you have the power to mo-o-ove me
