This song is amazing. One of my favs. It’s upbeat +44 meets blink in the perfect way. 

what a tune!

A tribute to a friend gone too soon. Songs like this hit a soft spot for me. It's a good one.

Some remembrances from Mark, his son Jack, and Matt Skiba for some more context. RIP

fuck, that tribute from Jack has proper made me well up. This song is a highlight for me because of its meaning. Mark wasn't lying when he said he only wanted to write songs that meant something to him. 

[Man]

Great song. It’s up there with mark songs like Apple Shampoo, Here’s your letter. 

[JarJarBlinks]

This one is going to fly under the radar for a lot of people when it deserves so much more.  Classic Mark storytelling that is extremely specific to his friend yet can apply to anyone.

One of my favourites Mark songs, the overall feeling it's so great, this is a heartfelt gem

[allsystemsgo]

What's he saying about Siouxie Soux and the Banshees? I need the damn lyrics!

[Ghent]

This song is trending up ?

This is def a grower, some real TOYPAJ vibes

[stupidtallhotgirl]

I love this song more and more every listen. Mark may even have bigger stand outs than Tom with moments like this.

This song kicks ass. Enjoy it quite a bit.

The back half of blink albums is always full of solid deep cuts like this. Another prime example

great tribute, so happy that mark did a song like this. this song gives me Cali vibes except the lyrics are really meaningful and touching. there is a bit of a TOYPAJ vibe too.

The song that MH1234 never was. Except that this one is way more important for blink and their history because it's about Robert Noise.

Upbeat songs about loss and pain with Travis' thundering snare building the energy always struck a chord with me.

While marks solo songs are my least favorite tracks, I still think they’re miles better than his solo songs on neighborhoods (FTG, MH418, and hearts all gone). I feel like MH418 is the direct comparison in song style to his two on this album and I think they’re both way better.
