S’old

If you want to feel positive, I also recommend “S’old.” It’s a song by the rock band Taking Back Sunday, included on their album 152.

In this track, they sing about how everyone grows older—and how that can be a source of happiness.

Listening to it may make you reflect on your own life while gently giving you a push forward.

It’s also perfect for anyone who loves fast-paced rock.

The lyrics, which seem to affirm everything that happens, are comforting, and the intense vocals and sound will give you a boost of energy.

The Hives – Rigor Mortis Radio (Live Visualiser)

The Hives are a band that represents Sweden’s rock scene.

Younger generations, for whom hip-hop is the mainstream, might not know them, but for those in their late twenties and up who grew up when rock was dominant, they’re a catchy band.

Their new song, Rigor Mortis Radio, is here.

Their distinctive sound, which helped revive garage rock, is irresistible for rock lovers.

Rather than presenting a mellowed, settled version of themselves as their career has progressed, this track is packed with the sound and intent that keep showing the vibes of their debut days.

The Raven Age – Tears of Stone (Official Visualiser)

Let me introduce “Tears of Stone,” a work that unfolds a world both beautiful and terrifying.

This track was released by the British heavy metal band The Raven Age.

They have created many dark songs inspired by legends and folklore, and that darkness is very much present here as well.

A weighty narrative unfolds in step with the fierce sound.

With many phrases that spark the imagination, you can enjoy it almost like reading a novel.

The beautiful vocals of the two singers are soothing, and the message is uplifting.

It’s also recommended for fans of club music.
