Sounds like toypaj Tom imo

[Jan Mortensen]

I really like the sound of this song.  A very pure Tom song, but in a good way.  Little mix of TOYPAJ/Boxcar/Neighborhoods/DED/AvA Tom. 

[Jan Mortensen]

I know I've probably said this a few times already, but I genuinely like and appreciate how much they are making songs that aren't all "bangers".  Like, it's so refreshing to have some more chill/laid back approaches to songs coming through the mix and not all be a heavy listen.  Blink does that so well.

Speaking of which...

I'm wondering if they're gonna play this song at the festival? Hoping they do since that would be a big treat for those that are going to the festival (sadly I'm not unless the festival (or blink) have someone pro-record this performance (and maybe stream it?))

Love this song from the preview. For some reason the guitar in the breaks in the chorus reminds me of the asthenia chorus, also the outro guitar in hallucinations by AvA. Anyone else hear that?

[Chewy030]

I found myself coming back to this one couple times already. Fucking love how this sounds.

[Knapppers]

This one is a little meh for me. Not bad by any means but i think the others are just so good, at the moment its not really doing anything for me

[Monkey Chips]

This was a fun song... Need to give it a few more listens to wrap my mind around (to give more thoughts), but I really like it.

[boxelder]

a rather slight song across the LP, but a downright classic opening riff and quintessential blink groove. the unusual time signature in the chorus is appealing. just first thoughts. i could see this growing on me... forever

[boxelder]

also, holy fucking compression batman. almost unintelligible instrumentation in the bridge/last chorus. those drums are pounding

[Coightstradamus]

I love this song. Why no hype?!

[fran.182]

I was torn on this since the lyrics leaked from that vinyl booklet video.

Turns out it was missing parts that made it make sense and some worthy lines (e.g. "... we explode together"). Plus, the vocal delivery is great; love the drums during Mark's verse. Good surprise.

[Jan Mortensen]

I still don’t love this song yet, feel like I will in 2 months.

[allsystemsgo]

Chorus is another belter for drive to work. ?

[2point5]

This song made me well up this morning walking to work. The song itself feels like Tom's latest AVA stuff (which I love) but then Marks verse kicked in and it made me realise that I was back listening to Blink, the way they're meant to be. Got me all choked up.

[Bucko]

Yeah this song is fantastic, however, need lyrics cause I can't decipher words in chorus outside of "When we were young" ?

[Kay]

I don’t really… get this one yet haha
