311 - Days Of '88 Lyrics






With all my ride or dies
Ain't no reason why
Good things can't be
And a lot of times
I see them as that money
Right in front of me

Days of '88
We had everything in life
If you look at it right
We had reason cause things rhymed
Because things rhymed
Because things rhymed

Then it hit me

This trip has taken me somewhere I thought I'd never be
To a place that feels a long time coming
When we're speaking easily, it really sets me free
Why don't we just go on jamming

See the energy shining all around you
Higher than the smoke that might surround you

It's like eat, work, play, sleep,
Kicking out jams eight days a week
It's like wake up what can I say
I want another one just like today, c'mon

Looking back in my mind
How about those times
Were they all a dream
In the storm we were the eye
Wild with the lines
We were all living

Days of '88
We had everything in life
If you look at it right
We had reason cause things rhymed
Because things rhymed
Because things rhymed

Then it hit me

This trip has taken me somewhere I thought I'd never be
To a place that feels a long time coming
When we're speaking easily, it really sets me free
Why don't we just go on jamming

See the energy shining all around you
Higher than the smoke that might surround you

Here's a little story to follow, I bet you're
Humming through the same one tomorrow, you never know
It could have been a swing and a miss or just another throw
It's something that we couldn't resist I tell ya better know

See the energy shining all around you
Higher than the smoke that might surround you

Then it hit me

  5. J.... O....

    These guys are incredible. Met them in Eugene back in 2017. They played way past there set was over. I think they played like 5 encores. I've never seen a better band live.

  6. M.... M....

  7. J.... ....

    311 is like Rumpelstiltskin; still churning out gold

  8. S.... S....

  9. D.... F....

    Nothing better than fapping to this song.

  10. G.... G....

    What that song, nice to meet you again 311, I just knew a song called down for years, i search for something more about then so now I'm meeting one of the best bands I've ever heard.

  11. B.... M....

    Isn't it cool how a 311 show feels like ''home'' and the people are like family. I'm a super introvert and at 311 show, I'm all over the place. Also, the comment sections on YT isn't a shit storm. Brodels are good people man. Much love.

  12. f.... ....

    why don't they just call this song come original part dos
    this song is so ill

  13. f.... ....

    this song is ridiculous...bonkers vibe BONKers

  14. f.... ....

    this album is like a lost album from before blue

  15. g.... ....

    Still my favorite band since their first album, they simply KEEP getting BETTER

  16. R.... B....

    love this Album song be jammin.

  17. L.... ....

    Such a stellar track.

  18. D.... D....

    I've been with 311 since '1992. I gotta say...just because the music is more complex doesn't make it mean more or sound better. I'm sure all of us old school fans would agree that something is lacking with our boys. Give them a break to take a few years off. These guys have been the hardest working musicians since Bach.

    D.... D....

    im old school...and i would have agreed with you until the album before this one, and this one....i promise if you listen to them a few times through they will be two of your favorites....they are top of their game atm...

  19. K.... M....

    311 has to be one of the greatest bands of all time. I love this song so much and Wildfire! It's amazing they released an album with 17 songs, you don't see that much these days. :D

  20. H.... E....

    Those peole that gove this 311song a thumps down suck.This song is awesome

  21. L.... K....

    Yeah 311 rocks it again. These guys are creative and will always be. They have a talent that very few bands have. Doing what they do and twisting up a notch with the original feel.

  22. D.... S....

    Best song on album oh my

    D.... S....

    I agree big time-I put it on replay for about 20 times.

  23. I.... B....

    I'd noted how SA hadn't started many 311 tracks on recent albums - he starts this one out incredibly well. almost a touch of psychedelia.

  24. Q.... t....

    How gracious we should forever be to allow Doug Martinez keep us fresh at any and all hours of the day.

    Q.... t....

    Quoth the Raven I think u were drunk when u typed that. But I can't give a thumbs down to this band.

  25. P.... S....

    good song

  26. J.... M....

    311 is churning out gold 💰

  27. a.... ....

    Love this era of 311. Their newer stuff is ok, IMO. I just love the metal guitars and rap/singing vocals.

  28. N.... ....

    311 is the drug I can always count on to get me just as high as the first time. . I feel young again ..

  29. J.... M....

    311 fan since 95'.still changing and evolving while staying true to their roots!grassroots that is!

    J.... M....

    unbelievable song , definitely feeling this vibe. nobody has style like this

  30. R.... R....

    Best song on the album, in my opinion. But they're all pretty amazing. Just wish this one didn't cut out early at the end...

    "See the energy shinin' all around you. Higher than the smoke that might surround you!"

  31. U.... P....

    Bionic Commando neutral area lol. When I was in a band I had this great idea of borrowing music from NES games they had some pretty good tunes for 8bit midi. If you want someone to help write music get the guy who wrote music for Maniac Mansion. Check put the Minibosses they made good covers of nintendo music including Castlevania.

  32. m.... ....

    The end of this song is cut off.

    m.... ....

    right? dumb!

  33. A.... M....

    Solid album. BUT the last 7 songs from "Places that the Mind Goes" until the end are my top favorites. This is one of them. 👍🏼

    A.... M....

    Anthony Montini my feelings exactly

  34. S.... L....

    A good jam for 311

  35. T.... W....

    One of their best songs ever!!

  36. Z.... R....

    Omg this album kicks ass

  37. D.... M....

  43. M.... ....

    LEGEN....


    (wait for it)


    DARY.

  44. J.... B....

    Very nice album! 17 tracks, that's rare nowadays. Thanks for sharing with the masses too. You guys rock. I was disappointed in the new Incubus album but you guys came through. You are still creative while the same can't be said about Incubus unfortunately. Loved seeing both of your bands touring together many years ago.

    J.... B....

    The new Rancid album is 17 songs -19 on the deluxe edition. Really only a handful of them are anything worth hearing more than once. Mosaic, however, has some gems on it!

    J.... B....

    millerhxc yeah but Rancid songs are like less than 2 minutes long

    J.... B....

    Jim Brown new 311 > new Incubus

    J.... B....

    A 311 and Incubus show is my dream show.

  45. M.... -....

    Keep it up! Looking forward for more videos from you, don't stop!
