Song of the Day: February 13th, 2023

Song: Lost
Artist: Linkin Park
Album: Meteora|20 (2023)

I heard this Meteora-era unreleased track on Friday after I had already posted a SOD, but I am sooo happy this exists. The youtube video already has 10 million views, and when I looked at the comments, I saw like four different languages in maybe seven posts. My LP fandom started to die out when I was in high school, so it's easy to forget how fucking huge these guys were. "In the End" was a #1 hit on the pop charts when that still really meant something.

The new old Linkin Park is great and has me feeling like I’m in my 5th grade home room all over again

I was obsessed with Linkin Park at this point in my life. I mean, what tween boy wasn't in the early 2000s? LP transcended genres; rock kids, rap kids, and pop kids all fucked with them. Apparently, there are like seven more songs that LP saved for this 20th-anniversary release, and I wouldn't be being true to myself if I didn't mention how fucked up it is that Meteroa is 20 years old. The math makes sense; it's just crazy. Twenty years back is 2003, not 1980!
