That's track of the day is "Miss You Love" by Silverchair.
What’s a song that grew on you over time?
I used to really dislike Linkin Park when they first came out, but the song A Place For My Head grew on me over time and eventually I came to really love their first album Hybrid Theory.
Song of the day! What a beautiful track.
What’s a song you’ve had on repeat recently?
A song I've had on repeat recently is Emergence by Sleep Token. The syncopated rhythm makes it so easy to listen to over and over again. It's such a well crafted song.
What’s a song that helps you focus or concentrate?
When I want some good background music for concentration, I will usually put on a lofi station, or my instrumental progressive metal playlist if I want something a bit more upbeat and aggressive.
Some of my favorite bands in the instrumental progressive metal genre are Polyphia, Scale the Summit, Plini, Andy James, Angel Vivaldi, Intervals, and Strawberry Girls.
This song in particular, "Mini Ripper" by Strawberry Girls, is one I will sometimes put on repeat in the background. It kind of just helps keep me from getting distracted and helps me lock in on whatever I'm doing.
