    2 things:
    -this was your best Tom voice in awhile, which is saying something, because they’re all pretty on point.
    -the sung triplets in Mark’s voice, second verse I think, were sick. You can tell it’s not a page out of the Blink playbook, but sounds like something they would try in 2021 as rap and pop punk continue to crossover.
