You Don't Know What You've Got track discussion

[Jan Mortensen]

Everything about this song just feels right.  It’s not ever going to be by best song, but it’s always good.  I always come back to it, fits in nicely at any point listening to the album

This song gives me Happy Days vibes in the verses and chorus. Like it doesn't sound like that song, just has similar styles and vibes.

I didn't like Happy Days because I found it boring. The chorus just didn't work and the bridge was even more boring. You Don't Know What We Got is better in every single way. I loved this song on first listen. Great lyrics and a great bridge (wish the vocal part was extended 2 more times but oh well)

Happy Days is way better than this song. Shiiiit, Happy Days is way better than half of this album.

Happy days is a pile of shit

Happy Days is a mid Nine song

OMT is better than Nine.

Happy Days is better than many Nine songs though.

I would agree with this.  Happy Days isn't half bad as a standalone little Mark song, but it's definitely nothing I want to hear by Blink.  It just has that whole "here's a pre-written guitar part" "generic idea" but the generic idea isn't that bad.

Outros kinda cool though.  I wouldn't mind if Mark recorded stuff like this for a solo side project.

I guess it's been said but the beginning of this song makes me evoke San Diego.

I feel like this song has been over-dissected a little bit. It's absolutely monumental and powerful to have a song directly address Mark's experience with cancer, and the epiphany that it struck with the entire band. The repetition of the chorus bugs some people, but in my perception it's by design - a simple mantra to repeat over and over (and over and overrrr).

This is a historic Blink song, and I love it.

LOVE IT. Absolutely. One of my favs.

Totally, I think it was the timing of it and everything.  2 days before the album drop right?  It's a powerful song, love just about everything about it.  The contrast between Mark and Tom's parts always hits hard too.  Feels a lot like +44 Mark meets Self Titled Tom as well.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT is one of my favorite songs off of the new album I generally think its really underrated. It also reminds me of EVERY OTHER WEEKEND although it has a completely different vibe. I just think they are both really amazing songs but they don't get enough attention.
