Where is Mark singing? I don’t hear it. 

I don't think Mark sings in this, unless it's very light? I don't hear him in Terrified either, but he apparently sing in that track as well.

I think Mark does the Oohs in the Terrified chorus.

He does. You can definitely hear Mark in there.

I do have to find it a bit funny that Aaron originally wrote this song off because it sounded too much like AvA, but Travis and the rest of blink camp signed off on including it in the album.

[Monkey Chips]

Kind of curious to hear the hardcore version that Aaron talked about in that recent interview... Sadly I doubt that will ever happen though.

[Jan Mortensen]

Knowing Mark is on this background harmonies makes this even better. But people hate weird shit like Fighting The Gravity for some reason as well so not surprised it’s a skip for everyone else.

Like I said, would have been cool for this to have been a full song.

I love this song, just wish it lasted one more minute at least

It’s so fucking boring, like a half farted out old AVA idea.

[Jan Mortensen]

It’s intentionally that though. I’m still a minor fan of its existence. Without it, the “all our styles on one album” isn’t fully complete!

Yeah, I guess it makes sense... Though like I said earlier in the page, I'm interested in hearing the hardcore version that Aaron mentioned, but again, I doubt that we'll ever hear the hardcore version of Hurt.

God. I’ve seen some reaches in my time but Jesus fucking Christ. That’s a new level of reach.

Why would “they intentionally made a terrible song!” Ever be a good reason for it to exist ?

Didnt Jan say Carousel was shit? When did we start taking his opinions seriously?

It’s intentional bro.  You are the type of guy that watches Scary Movie and thinks they’re being serious.

I don’t think it was intentionally terrible but they wouldn’t make a super AvA song on the blink album would be weird, intentionally short and just half butt Ava song was tastefully done imo

Don’t recall saying that but carry on wayward son.

[Cascades]

THATS who "Jan" is.

[Cascades]

Jan aint wrong.  I think she's saying that it was intentionally meant to sound like AvA.  And not intentionally meant to sound horrible.

It’s not really a song to me. Just some little ooohs and Ahhs that don’t really go anywhere. It’s called an interlude for a reason. It’s no surprised it’s a skip track for most my man, Jan.

Jan is certainly a "special" lady
