This song is the epitome of perfection. The way it starts, slows down, and then builds into this perfect crescendo of sounds it chokes me up still to this day. Add on top of it Chester’s line “all I want to do is trade this life for something new”, and Mike rapping “the hardest part of ending is starting again”… just tears man
Trade this life to something new is spiritually strong for a person to say.. Idk maybe he s already have everything in this world he wanted.. Till he dont know what it takes to move on, cuz he already got it all means he already reach the edge spiritually This is not the end or begining means he s gambling with his decision and its out of his control Hold on to God if it be sin or next step to this something new If my writing its true, then this is his goodbye song
"The hardest part of ending is starting again" ... how many times this band will save my life ? I don't even wanna know how feels a life without Linkin Park ..
Alex Rakoto That is the quote i always remembered from this song, it's one of my fav songs from them, but this quote... so powerful ! I can not imagine a life without linkin park really !
Take a look in Three Days Grace.. The music "Never Too Late" saved só much people of self killing.. The band is Nice like LP. (Sorry for any incorrect word. A brasiliana guy speaking english :v )
"The hardest part of ending is starting again." Chester, it's hard to believe that it's been 5 years since your passing. You left us far too soon, but you left your mark on music history and your voice will be remembered for many, many years to come. Thank you for all the music you and Linkin Park have given us all these years. RIP.
When Emily got emotional singing this song during the livetream it was truly a heartwarming moment. RIP Chester and welcome Emily. Nothing but love for the new era.
@@sgp446true there's no new era for linkin park, but a genius like him will be reborn again through time , as life renew itself. I will see the end you didn't Chester i promise.
Mon dieu que c'est beau cette voie j'ai jamais vu ça un chanteur avec un don pareil quand j'entends cette chanson et la voix de Chester j'ai envie de pleurer tellement cette homme été un génie d'une gentillesse
I was raised in a strong christian household, we were not allowed to listen to anything but christian music. My friend secretly gave me Meteora album and it changed my life and the way i saw music. I can't help but cry hearing this song and countless other songs by Linkin Park. Chester was and will always be my hero and someone who saved me from my own pain and worldly restrictions. I miss you Chester. Thank you for all you have done for us.
Our stories might be vastly different. So are our circumstances under which we discovered Linkin Park. But I completely feel you when you say LP has saved you!! Not a day goes by that I don't miss Chester. Not a fucking day. I still can't listen to the entirety of One More Light without crying and I tend to stay away from the song cause it's just THAT painful. Sorry I went off a tangent, Just felt the urge to let you know!
@@kaiserhossain1574 No need to apologize, thank you for sharing your story. Linkin Park and Chester have helped many with all sorts of stories and backgrounds. It's a beautiful thing!
He will never know just how many people he touched and saved, just by being himself. All we can hope to do, is use what he gave us to help others. He helped us get our second chances, now it's our turn to continue his legacy. ❤❤
In my opinion, there will never be a musical duo as great as chester and mike. The contrast in their style and vocal abilities complimented each other so well. Some of the greatest art i ever listened to.
Every now and then you get a duo that just works. Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell are up there. Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson of the B52s are also awesome together. Simon & Garfunkel of course is another.
The way Emily struggled to sing Waiting for the End in the live show because of all the emotions triggered by the melody and lyrics just shows how powerful and meaningful this song is
She should just sing like "Emily" and not Chester. Make each existing LP song (and new songs) her own, you know? She's okay, but I prefer ol' gals Pat Benatar and Joan Jett!!!🙂
I cannot listen to Chester without my heart sinking. Who honestly can't say that Linkin Park was a part or is a part of their life? His voice in this song tugs at my heart. We all related to his music in ways indescribable. What a gem. Thank you for your talent, Chester. Thank you for holding on as far as you did with the struggles you suffered. All across the world you are being mourned. You made an impact. With love, your fan.
darkø I literally have a Playlist in my phone labeled "gym music" that is filled with LP songs lol ...got me..and still gets me thru some of my toughest and most intense training sessions
The magic in this song is in the drum part. I just noticed it now. Rob did not over play nor over fill. Stayed on the same tempo, the same notes all throughout and that's what made it a standout song in the album.
Chester, I feel broken. I hurt because you couldn't find happiness in life. Your music, your words got me through some really tough times in my life. I pray for your family, your children. Fly high Chester. Dance with the angels.
It's like despite all his pain he was succesful and most of all, loved by so many. He showed us all that even when in pain, we can be something. We can stand tall. And after all, we still lost him. It hurts so much.
Dreadful Maiden I know we don't know each other, but I'm glad you're still here. Depression may be different for each person, but none of us are alone in the fight. No matter what our minds spew at us in the worst times, remember that we're strong and have been through the dark times before and survived. Chester fought a good fight, and he's helped so many others along the way. May you and anyone else who is reading this keep the hope alive, because that's the light that can guide you. Much love to you.
I still can’t believe it’s been 4 years since Chester’s death. I’m gonna be honest, Chester was and still is the only singer i ever feel connected with. Every song he sing touches me in a way that no other artist or band can do. I find myself coming back to LP from time to time. I really miss you Chester.
Yeah i was never "best fan" i just liked them and enjoy their music sometimes. But he was first artist who die and I feel sadness for him very personal.
@@loklokaj4018 yea same, looking back when I was a child and my father was a big fan of Linkin Park made me understand why Linkin Park made us both missing Chester. I remember the night when I was 6 yrs old and my father would turn on Linkin Park on the radio when we were on our way home.
@@platonicbuu7454 It won't cure mental illnesses, that's for sure, but hearing somebody else express the same feelings and problems you're dealing with (be it in the form of a song for example) is cathartic for some people. Though it's certainly no substitute for therapy/medication :/
@@erbmonsodillepa403 You know, I agree with most of what you said, but to me, it also actually IS a substitute for therapy and medication. I've been on all sorts of meds for years to no avail, therapy sessions by the truckloads, and they just won't work for me. Music, and especially Linkin Park, doesn't _cure_ depression, but it makes it all the more bearable.
[Mike] Yeah! Yo! This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm And though the words sound steady, something empty's within 'em We say "Yeah!" with fists flying up in the air Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there 'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear Until we get, forget it, let it all disappear [Chester] Waiting for the end to come Wishing I had strength to stand This is not what I had planned It's out of my control Flying at the speed of light Thoughts were spinning in my head So many things were left unsaid It's hard to let you go (Oh) I know what it takes to move on (Oh) I know how it feels to lie (Oh) All I want to do Is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got Sitting in an empty room Trying to forget the past This was never meant to last I wish it wasn't so (Oh) I know what it takes to move on (Oh) I know how it feels to lie (Oh) All I want to do Is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got [Mike] Yeah, yeah What was left when that fire was gone? I thought it felt right but that right was wrong All caught up in the eye of the storm And trying to figure out what it's like moving on And I don't even know what kind of things I've said My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead So, picking up the pieces, now where to begin? The hardest part of ending is starting again! [Chester] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh… All I wanna do Is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got [Mike] This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision (I'm holding on to what I haven't got) But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm Though the words sound steady, something empty's within 'em We say "Yeah!" with fists flying up in the air Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there (Holding on to what I haven't got) 'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear Until we get it, forget it, let it all disappear
This is easily one of the best alternative rock/alternative pop songs ever written. Just absolutely timeless, a perfectly crafted song that still sounds so fresh and continues to age so beautifully. There's just no other song quite like this one, it's so special. Their songwriting is unmatched, how can something be so perfectly catchy and accessible/relatable while also being so out of the box? The sonic palette of this song is so incredibly gorgeous, the melodies and lyrics to go with, the unconventional structure, the bridge with all the electronic effects and layers of sound, and his high pitched singing over Mike's hook at the end....god. Also that singular distant droning synth during the first chorus where it's just that sound in the back really drives home the feeling of alienation and emptiness in this song so well, like you're floating in the vast nothingness of space. A Thousand Suns was an absolute work of art. I really hope they make more songs like this with Emily.
I never really mourn the loss of celebrities/musicians but this one really hits hard. Great voice, seemed like an awesome guy, and a huge part of my childhood. This really sucks.
Neither do I... Never mourned all the past celebrities, musicians but Chester Bennington. He's really down to earth and delivers all his song super amazing. RIP Chester :'(
I listened to this song every morning during my last 2 weeks of serving a 3 year prison sentence...it helped me to hold on, and not go crazy while I was waiting for the end.
Im 22y.o girl .. just brokeup with my 46 old man.. and all i do to get him out of my head is listening to linkin park song bc i feel young again.. and it makes me want to move on and hoping find young man who’s have the same music genre 😂
Im writing this today on Chester's death. I could see that this song best describes Chester's depresssion. Just listen to the lyrics you would see. He had been sexually abuse as a child, parents is divorce, escape the pain through drugs and alcohol. Now you try to understand the lyrics the parts where his the one singing. ALL I WANNA DO IS TRADE THIS LIFE FOR SOMETHING NEW (SOMETHIN HE WANNA CHANGE THAT HAPPENED IN HIS LIFE). We cannot blame the guy for killing himself and leaving 6 children and his wife. Depression is hard, people who never went through it judge it so easily. Poor guy all his depression turned into this wonderful art were listening now! Thank you Chester .. RIP!
This is the song that also best describes my own depression... It's gone for now, I hope it never comes back... But this song hits me really hard, every time. I'm extremely sad he didn't manage to recover. RIP Chester. :(
Its one of my favorite song when i was sad and depressed too this song painted every feeling i have. When i heard of Chester's death this song was so him. He had the fame and money but goes to show depression and emotional scars from the past can damage us so much.
Ken Ramos Its easy for normal people to judge,Depression erodes every fiber of your existence and what a master pie of art and hope this guy created for generations to come.
I'm sure this song means different things to different people. I lost my marriage this year, back in May. And I've been close to the edge almost every night since. This song, along with a good amount of others by Linkin Park, have kept me going. It meets me at the place where my heart broke, makes me face it, and then points me in a direction with a new mindset: it's time to start again. Every day is a new chance to start over. He couldn't save himself but he continually saves all of us. Rest easy Chester. You and your band are heroes still, even today.
Good to hear that His music had and still has such an astounding and tranquilising effect (simultaneously)......just wanna add that it makes us two...........and I am sure many more all across the world.
not here to argue. cause they were a rock group. but the messenger carries an incredible weight when listened to. the simplicity in acoustic guitar piano and voice is powerful
"The hardest part of ending is starting again." -Linkin Park I think I just found my senior quote. Edit (June 19, 2020): Well, it's been one heck of a journey, but as of today, I am an official high school graduate. I have to say that I never expected my graduation to happen amidst a pandemic, but here we are. That said, there are just somethings you never expect would ever happen. Back in 2017, for instance, I was absolutely shocked by the news of Chester Bennington's death. I believe I speak for every fan here when I say that Bennington was the last person I would expect to have been as deeply troubled as he was that day. And how ironic that, for a man that has helped to save so many people from their own troubles, it was actually him that was the most in pain. Life can be very cruel sometimes, and it happened in one of the most unexpected ways imaginable. But I'm not here to reminisce over an idol's death. I am here today to thank Bennington, Mike Shinoda, and the rest of Linkin Park for their impact on a single life. Because Linkin Park's music is simply outstanding. I began listening to LP sometime during the 3rd grade, a little after A Thousand Suns was released, and from then on, I listened to their entire discography (from Hybrid Theory to Reanimation, to The Hunting Party) right into my high school years. Because even though tastes, values, and circumstances change year to year, there was always something about LP's sound that made their music feel ageless and consistently relevant. And this sound always inspired me to improve myself, to try new things and experiment, to take big steps and leaps with courage and passion; to be better today than I was yesterday, even now, amidst a pandemic. What I'm saying then is that Linkin Park helped shape me into the man I am today: a mature, resilient, and optimistic adult, with his entire life ahead of him. Somethings don't last forever, and people do change over time, for better or for worse. Linkin Park is a band that at the very least changed the life of a single soul, and made him better than he was 4 years ago. Thank you, Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave Farrell, Joe Hahn, Rob Bourdon, and Chester Bennington for two decades of incredible songwriting. Thank You.
1week 2 days later I am still marathoning, they gave us so much music, I feel like I can keep going for months. Thanking Chester for all you have given, thank you Linkin Park. RIP
We've lost one of the most iconic voices of Modern Rock. R.I.P, Chester Bennington. Linkin Park went hand in hand with my childhood and can't even imagine what it'd have been like without it. Thanks for the memories.
Yeah This is not the end This is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot Rocking every revision But you listen to the tone And the violent rhythm And though the words sound steady Something empty's within 'em We say, "yeah" Fists flying up in the air Like we're holding onto something That's invisible there 'Cause we're living at the mercy of The pain and the fear Until we tell it, forget it Let it all disappear Waiting for the end to come Wishing I had strength to stand This is not what I had planned It's out of my control Flying at the speed of light Thoughts were spinning in my head So many things were left unsaid It's hard to let you go (Oh)I know what it takes to move on (Oh) I know how it feels to lie (Oh) all I wanna do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got Sitting in an empty room Trying to forget the past This was never meant to last I wish it wasn't so (Oh)I know what it takes to move on (Oh) I know how it feels to lie (Oh) all I wanna do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got Yeah, yeah What was left when that fire was gone?

In my own opinion this is the most underrated LP song. It´s a song understanding the people out there understanding their pain, understanding what it means to move on, not saying ah come on everything will get better just dont be sad anymore. Yes sometimes you want to trade your life for something else and sometimes the pain and the struggle is just too big.
Me personally would never kill myself, but i had depression and i can understand the people doing it, and i dont think you can say they´re doing something wrong. And also to think like you do you need to have a strong belief in god.
I'll be honest. After Chester passed apart of me was so upset because most of these songs were about fighting to stay alive but when it happened It broke me because I even thought about my own life, if it really was worth living. I had relied on their music during my teens because I needed to somebody to say the words I couldn't say. So since he passed I stopped listening to Linkin Park only because of that dilemma. But after hearing this song after what feels like years since I used this to help heal last, I'm not mad. Sure its still hard to listen to knowing what happened but I need to realize that Linkin Park is one of the very few bands that actually made me want to keep fighting for literally my life. Without this band I would have been dead a long time ago but I need to just appreciate the absolute art this band made. The hardest part of ending is starting again. Thank you Linkin Park for helping me when I wasn't able to help myself and I use examples of this band to help out the ones I love most. Thank You x
Yes I am sad that chester died and there song there could be a slight chance that chester was trying to say never give up no matter what happens but again rip Chester and yes there music still helps me alot through hard times
"There's things we can have but can't keep" Chester you are deeply missed. I can't get myself to listen to the new singer bc it's not you. Your music has touched a lot of people and it has so much meaning. Thank you for what you gave us.
I'm my opinion this is one of the most well composed song ever. Not just from LP, but from any other music creators. The way this songs builds just gives me goosebumps.
Today I realize that my childhood heroes are not immortal, they can lose battles and simply leave leaving the worst emptiness in our hearts. Chester your memory would never die
RIP Chester. Linkin Park may not be the band i listen the most to these days, but they were a major part of my early teen years and i still enjoy their stuff from time to time. The gut wrenching screams and touching singing of Chester largely made this band what it is. I don't know exactly what to say right now. I'd just wish he had called for help instead of ending it all. If you have suicidal thoughts please talk to someone about it. It really helps. Maybe not in the beginning, but in time you'll find that opening your heart to someone (pretty much anyone), will make you feel less alone with your problems. Look out for yourselves out there. Here's to Chester Bennington.
It's so sad. Nothing will be the same. LP songs, especially this one, have a whole new meaning now. His voice sends chills and then it gets you pumped and everything in between. RIP
It's crazy that when I was at the worse stage of my life, suicidal and depressed, this was one of the few songs I would derive comfort from. I even wanted to get a tattoo of the phrase "this is not the end, this is not the beginning." "This is not the end (...)" to remind me that the world hadn't just suddenly stopped for me. That life was going to keep going, and that one day, I would realize that that point in my life was not the end. The other part, "(...)this is not the beginning", to remind me that I had felt pain before, that I wasn't new at this, and therefore, I would handle it, I could fight this. So, "This is not the end, this is not the beginning" comforted me, even just for a few seconds, because it told me that this was not the end of my life, but just the middle. Maybe Chester knew about the impact his music had on others, maybe he didn't. Regardless, depression is a horrible, horrible, and insidious monster. If it gets to the point of actual suicide, you know that pain was immense, more immense than we'd like to know. Feeling suicidal is like running out of oxygen in an empty room, and desperately looking for a way out so that you can breathe. Except that you have lost all hope that there is one, and you just want to end the pain, and you feel like your only way out is the worse way out. I wish he hadn't gone this way. I wish that nobody had to go this way. And anyone watching the news now, who is feeling suicidal, I hope you try to endure the pain just a bit longer, because even if you cant imagine one way out now (that doesn't end your life), I promise you there IS one. I waited a bit longer, and I found my will to live once again. Hope was returned to me. Rest in peace, Chester.
JasminPamela I literally just redownloaded all the songs i loved by them and then when he news came up, i was devastated until i saw this comment. Thanks mannn
I love the way Chester sings here and I also love Emily's interpretation, as someone else said Chester sings with pain and Emily sings with fury. What an amazing song this!
No, its just people are actually listening to the lyrics now rather than just hearing a good sounding track. Every song Chester wrote and sang has pain and loneliness in it. I have every single album and there is so much pain in all of them. If you don't know, you don't know... probably why i have everything they produced....
I never considered myself a devoted fan of Linkin Park, but I was still sad to hear of Chester Bennington's passing. His vocal range was absolutely incredible, and this song is solid proof of that. It really feels like he's still alive when he hits that high note at 3:36.
I was never a huge Linkin Park fan like my sister but I still liked some of their music and was sad when I heard about Chester's passing. I was actually in shock at first when I found out but after that initial shock was over I became sad

to be honest a thousand suns is the most underrated yet the album with some real deep shit lyrics and so peaceful and in some songs awesome beats!! I will always love this band they are my life 💜
Tyler Durden Absolutely agree. A complete work of art. God I miss, Chester. He was an emotional tour de force, filled with energy, emotion, rage, sadness and love.
Chester had the voice of an angel, while being able to scream like a demon. Today marks 6 years from his passing. RIP Chester, your amazing voice will continue to inspire millions of people for generations to come.
This was probably my favourite song of theirs; conveying dispair with a tone of hope. So many things probably were left unsaid Chester, may you rest in peace.
I have been battling depression for 7 months. No talking to people and detachment social media. All I want is to listen to their songs and read books. It helped. I can say that Chester saved my life man.
Been battling depression for most of my life. It’s soul sucking and a battle to say the very least. But you’ve got to stand tall in the midst of darkness. To move forward when moving feels like wading through quick sand. And to keep fighting when the going gets tough. You’ve got this 👌🏽
Currently facing a severe relapse in depression. Linkin Park helped me to crawl out from the depths and I'm in a much safer spot now. It's no meds or therapy, but it's always with me. That's all I need. Anything that lets me sleep.
"The hardest part of ending is starting again" Unfortunately, Linkin Park did start again, and this is proof the hardest part is starting again. R.I.P Chester
“The hardest part of ending is starting again” years later, they found themselves in the exact same situation.Mike is exactly feeling this right now and his new lyrics proves it “I don’t want to know the end All I want is a place to start” can’t imagine what he’s going through, starting over leaving behind 20+ years of dedication.
Such a mess the man couldn't save himself, i wanted him to know that he saved millions and still will save more in the following years with his message.
@@usbeinghumanz Don't be sad, take it as proof of Linkin Park's greatness and that we are not the only people who go through existential crises, you have the face of an intelligent person, with doubts and who questions his own existence and that always generates that feeling of emptiness but you are not, here I am with you!
Put 'em up like this Let me see 'em now, yeah I like that Yeah This is not the end This is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot Rocking every revision But you listen to the tone And the violent rhythm And though the words sound steady Something empty's within 'em We say, "yeah" Fists flying up in the air Like we're holding onto something That's invisible there 'Cause we're living at the mercy of The pain and the fear Until we tell it, forget it Let it all disappear Waiting for the end to come Wishing I had strength to stand This is not what I had planned It's out of my control Flying at the speed of light Thoughts were spinning in my head So many things were left unsaid It's hard to let you go I know what it takes to move on (Oh) I know how it feels to lie (Oh) all I wanna do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got Sitting in an empty room Trying to forget the past This was never meant to last I wish it wasn't so I know what it takes to move on (Oh) I know how it feels to lie (Oh) all I wanna do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got Yeah, yeah What was left when that fire was gone?

no one can replace Chester he is a legend and Sang like an angel Screamed like a demon Lived as a man Died a legend chester healed everybody but failed to heal himself. Chester is a Inspiration to all R.I.P Chester WE ALL MISS HIM
The end finally came, Chester. We know it's out of your control. and it's not easy to fight against something inside of your mind. We just miss you. We all are. Rest in Peace, legend!
I've been doing that too. Every single song of their albums are in my playlist. Trying not to cry, but I can't (Leave out all the rest especially). I used to think about Nirvana fans how they feel when reading news about Kurt's death. Now I know the feeling. It sucks. hurt. heartbroken. Damn it.
This line hits me hard every time I hear this “Waiting for the end to come Wishing I had strength to stand This is not what I had planned It's out of my control”
@@mjgextremegaming2942 any band does more than just 2 genres, except ac/dc lol I mean take a look at a7x, they made metalcore, alt metal, country metal, hard rock, hardcore punk, and city of evil and a lot of metal bands are like this and you can't put them into a specific genre but linkin park most of their songs are alt/nu metal so they can be put into a specific genre
This one bro 💯💪🏽 I’ve been listen to them since I was really young it my first rock band I had listen to and they are still and will always be the best 💯but I can really relate to your comment 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This song is the epitome of perfection. The way it starts, slows down, and then builds into this perfect crescendo of sounds it chokes me up still to this day. Add on top of it Chester’s line “all I want to do is trade this life for something new”, and Mike rapping “the hardest part of ending is starting again”… just tears man
😭😭😭💔💔
ffr omg 😖
Trade this life to something new is spiritually strong for a person to say..
Idk maybe he s already have everything in this world he wanted..
Till he dont know what it takes to move on, cuz he already got it all means he already reach the edge spiritually
This is not the end or begining means he s gambling with his decision and its out of his control
Hold on to God if it be sin or next step to this something new
If my writing its true, then this is his goodbye song
True
Hi
Chester started something in every single one of us. May he always be remembered with a smile.
Well said ❤
or some kinda rage
All in the band did 🙏🏾
but i get you 😉
😊
Chester was my hero, and still is, even going into May 2024 ❤
"The hardest part of ending is starting again" ... how many times this band will save my life ? I don't even wanna know how feels a life without Linkin Park ..
they have so many amazing and emotional songs that help people through!
Alex Rakoto There have been times where I have felt kinda suicidal or depressed but songs like Iridescent and Waiting for the End kind of helped me.
Alex Rakoto That is the quote i always remembered from this song, it's one of my fav songs from them, but this quote... so powerful !
I can not imagine a life without linkin park really !
Alex Rakoto I feel the same way
Take a look in Three Days Grace.. The music "Never Too Late" saved só much people of self killing.. The band is Nice like LP. (Sorry for any incorrect word. A brasiliana guy speaking english :v )
perhaps unpopular opinion... this is the best song Linkin Park ever written and executed..
It's one of my favorites and it's definitely their best
This song is like a universal classic. It's a jam no matter what mood you're in.
It’s up there.
Go look at a video of Mike ranking best LP song all time
@@zerallamvuut wow... didn't know it.. guess my opinion matched Mikes
This isn't just a song. This is art.
VanillaThunderx2 a lot of their music videos are pieces of art as well as amazing songs
VanillaThunderx2 It's art rock.
Well how tf do you listen to art?!?
Stone Cold Music is a form of art.
SpeedMan72LWH so like how do you listen to art

"The hardest part of ending is starting again."
Chester, it's hard to believe that it's been 5 years since your passing. You left us far too soon, but you left your mark on music history and your voice will be remembered for many, many years to come. Thank you for all the music you and Linkin Park have given us all these years. RIP.
R.I.P😭😓
May Chester keep resting
Que hermosas palabras un legado inolvidable 🖤🕊
Gather your army against the insane conspiracy theorists claiming 'Chester was klld for a documentary about child sexual predators'
I'm an alcoholic and this hits hard.
When Emily got emotional singing this song during the livetream it was truly a heartwarming moment. RIP Chester and welcome Emily. Nothing but love for the new era.
What? C’mon. Bye bye Linkin
@@sgp446true there's no new era for linkin park, but a genius like him will be reborn again through time , as life renew itself. I will see the end you didn't Chester i promise.
One of the best Linkin Park songs of all time.
One of the best songs of all time
THANK YOU
No no, THE best Linkin Park song period.
Thank You! I have loved this one since the the beginning. Definitely their most underrated songs!
Mon dieu que c'est beau cette voie j'ai jamais vu ça un chanteur avec un don pareil quand j'entends cette chanson et la voix de Chester j'ai envie de pleurer tellement cette homme été un génie d'une gentillesse
I was raised in a strong christian household, we were not allowed to listen to anything but christian music. My friend secretly gave me Meteora album and it changed my life and the way i saw music. I can't help but cry hearing this song and countless other songs by Linkin Park. Chester was and will always be my hero and someone who saved me from my own pain and worldly restrictions. I miss you Chester. Thank you for all you have done for us.
Our stories might be vastly different. So are our circumstances under which we discovered Linkin Park. But I completely feel you when you say LP has saved you!! Not a day goes by that I don't miss Chester. Not a fucking day. I still can't listen to the entirety of One More Light without crying and I tend to stay away from the song cause it's just THAT painful. Sorry I went off a tangent, Just felt the urge to let you know!
@@kaiserhossain1574 No need to apologize, thank you for sharing your story. Linkin Park and Chester have helped many with all sorts of stories and backgrounds. It's a beautiful thing!
This had me in tears
He will never know just how many people he touched and saved, just by being himself. All we can hope to do, is use what he gave us to help others. He helped us get our second chances, now it's our turn to continue his legacy. ❤❤
Don't ever hear behemoth then
You're gonna have a hard time
In my opinion, there will never be a musical duo as great as chester and mike. The contrast in their style and vocal abilities complimented each other so well. Some of the greatest art i ever listened to.
Согласен, но «никогда не говори никогда»
Lol what
Interesting opinion. I’m a rap/rock guy. Linkin park was the best alternative band of all time w shinoda
Noel and liam
Every now and then you get a duo that just works. Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell are up there. Cindy Wilson and
Kate Pierson of the B52s are also awesome together. Simon & Garfunkel of course is another.
The way Emily struggled to sing Waiting for the End in the live show because of all the emotions triggered by the melody and lyrics just shows how powerful and meaningful this song is
No voice can replace this emotion, this emotion called ..Linking park with Chester in it.
She should just sing like "Emily" and not Chester. Make each existing LP song (and new songs) her own, you know? She's okay, but I prefer ol' gals Pat Benatar and Joan Jett!!!🙂
@@nat_lumos They do, new album this november.
She did really well last night in Hamburg
I was at Hamburg concert it was so emotional when they played Waiting For The End i was crying 😢
I cannot listen to Chester without my heart sinking. Who honestly can't say that Linkin Park was a part or is a part of their life? His voice in this song tugs at my heart. We all related to his music in ways indescribable. What a gem. Thank you for your talent, Chester. Thank you for holding on as far as you did with the struggles you suffered. All across the world you are being mourned. You made an impact. With love, your fan.
darkø I literally have a Playlist in my phone labeled "gym music" that is filled with LP songs lol ...got me..and still gets me thru some of my toughest and most intense training sessions
well said darko RIP Chester from Canada
❤️😇❤️
@@wellingtonalves9074 correct
Truee i know now you'll be seeing my reply for your comment after 4 years i hope now you remember about this song now
"Holding on to what I haven't got."
We all miss you Chester.
It is WILD to think about how he was crying out about before we understood any of it. I've been missing him deeply this weekend. RIP Chester.
Reading ur comment gave me goosebumps 😢@@theshizzz
@zeoslaiz3313 there are a couple videos on my channel for him. I have a strange relationship with this band..
❤
this song never fail's to make me cry along with "One More Light"
The magic in this song is in the drum part. I just noticed it now. Rob did not over play nor over fill. Stayed on the same tempo, the same notes all throughout and that's what made it a standout song in the album.
Chester, I feel broken. I hurt because you couldn't find happiness in life. Your music, your words got me through some really tough times in my life. I pray for your family, your children. Fly high Chester. Dance with the angels.
I feel the same. Heart broken
Brian Sease my heart😢
Brian Sease 💕💕
DAMN THIS HURTS SO MUCH..
he was my inspiration.. i became a singer because of him.. he was MY VOICE!!
I cried listening to this song just now. Life can be a bitch. So much talent removed from this world just like that.
These songs used to bring me comfort. Now they just hurt.
I feel the same way.
It's like despite all his pain he was succesful and most of all, loved by so many. He showed us all that even when in pain, we can be something. We can stand tall. And after all, we still lost him. It hurts so much.
Donut Kill Me this comment is the realist
I was so fucking suicidal, Chester's voice was like an Angel singing for me :c, man i'm still so sad
Dreadful Maiden I know we don't know each other, but I'm glad you're still here. Depression may be different for each person, but none of us are alone in the fight. No matter what our minds spew at us in the worst times, remember that we're strong and have been through the dark times before and survived. Chester fought a good fight, and he's helped so many others along the way. May you and anyone else who is reading this keep the hope alive, because that's the light that can guide you. Much love to you.
After you realize what he has experienced, you will feel his grace and compassion to this world.
I still can’t believe it’s been 4 years since Chester’s death. I’m gonna be honest, Chester was and still is the only singer i ever feel connected with. Every song he sing touches me in a way that no other artist or band can do. I find myself coming back to LP from time to time. I really miss you Chester.
Yeah i was never "best fan" i just liked them and enjoy their music sometimes. But he was first artist who die and I feel sadness for him very personal.
@@loklokaj4018 yea same, looking back when I was a child and my father was a big fan of Linkin Park made me understand why Linkin Park made us both missing Chester. I remember the night when I was 6 yrs old and my father would turn on Linkin Park on the radio when we were on our way home.
Same rip chester 😢 for he was gone from us way too soon
Same Mr Giraffe, RIP CHESTER 🖤🤘💔
Only artist whose death felt like losing my own
Feels like he is still alive in this song
fiction _ He still is... he will always live in hier Songs... #Legendsneverdie #RipChester
He is alive in the song. Every time it plays.
fiction _ yes he will live on, in my heart and mind...
fiction _ dam true
In a way he is. Its his legacy.
Despite this songs popularity I still think it’s underrated. Personally, it’s my favorite song by Linkin Park
No one should like your comment as it is at 69
Mine too. It's my top 1 though.
Navaliden N think it was about his cancer .or am I wrong I listen to it during cemo anyway

It means a lot to me too😰
Listening to Linkin Park when you are depressed helps. It just does.
Can confirm.
it's not helping the way i need it too though. i'm scared
@@platonicbuu7454 It won't cure mental illnesses, that's for sure, but hearing somebody else express the same feelings and problems you're dealing with (be it in the form of a song for example) is cathartic for some people. Though it's certainly no substitute for therapy/medication :/
Agreed
@@erbmonsodillepa403 You know, I agree with most of what you said, but to me, it also actually IS a substitute for therapy and medication. I've been on all sorts of meds for years to no avail, therapy sessions by the truckloads, and they just won't work for me. Music, and especially Linkin Park, doesn't _cure_ depression, but it makes it all the more bearable.

Yeah!
Yo!
This is not the end, this is not the beginning

Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
Until we get, forget it, let it all disappear

Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control
Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go
(Oh) I know what it takes to move on
(Oh) I know how it feels to lie
(Oh) All I want to do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got
Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasn't so

(Oh) I know how it feels to lie
(Oh) All I want to do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

Yeah, yeah
What was left when that fire was gone?
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
And I don't even know what kind of things I've said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
So, picking up the pieces, now where to begin?
The hardest part of ending is starting again!

Arthur Zopellaro I was singing the song and then I was reading your comment and realized I was also reading your comment while singing it.
Rosie Moreno hahahahaha xD
This is easily one of the best alternative rock/alternative pop songs ever written. Just absolutely timeless, a perfectly crafted song that still sounds so fresh and continues to age so beautifully. There's just no other song quite like this one, it's so special. Their songwriting is unmatched, how can something be so perfectly catchy and accessible/relatable while also being so out of the box? The sonic palette of this song is so incredibly gorgeous, the melodies and lyrics to go with, the unconventional structure, the bridge with all the electronic effects and layers of sound, and his high pitched singing over Mike's hook at the end....god. Also that singular distant droning synth during the first chorus where it's just that sound in the back really drives home the feeling of alienation and emptiness in this song so well, like you're floating in the vast nothingness of space.
A Thousand Suns was an absolute work of art. I really hope they make more songs like this with Emily.
I never really mourn the loss of celebrities/musicians but this one really hits hard. Great voice, seemed like an awesome guy, and a huge part of my childhood. This really sucks.
Neither do I... Never mourned all the past celebrities, musicians but Chester Bennington. He's really down to earth and delivers all his song super amazing. RIP Chester :'(
P-Game. I feel the same😢
P-Game i feel u man😭
The first musician that I cried about was Selena or Aaliyah, then MJ, Robin Williams and Paul Walker before Chester Bennington.
P-Game Well said, feel the same...
This song is a purely perfect of beats, vocals, rapping and great lyrics. I can't describe how much i love this song.

Your profile picture and Name is better.. xD Jk, fucking love this song.
Sad Black Man There aren't words to describe how much of a masterpiece this song is.
feel the exact same.
Linkin Park has always held me high when I felt like I'm at my lowest.
This song in particular
I hear you, brother
Yep know this feeling an inner battle
I listened to this song every morning during my last 2 weeks of serving a 3 year prison sentence...it helped me to hold on, and not go crazy while I was waiting for the end.
Im 22y.o girl .. just brokeup with my 46 old man.. and all i do to get him out of my head is listening to linkin park song bc i feel young again.. and it makes me want to move on and hoping find young man who’s have the same music genre 😂
2:19 to ending is easily one of the greatest moments ever in music history
this song just gets more and more beautiful every listen
Im writing this today on Chester's death. I could see that this song best describes Chester's depresssion. Just listen to the lyrics you would see. He had been sexually abuse as a child, parents
is divorce, escape the pain through drugs and alcohol. Now you try to understand the lyrics the parts where his the one singing.
ALL I WANNA DO IS TRADE THIS LIFE FOR SOMETHING NEW (SOMETHIN HE WANNA CHANGE THAT HAPPENED IN HIS LIFE). We cannot blame the guy for killing himself and leaving 6 children and his wife. Depression is hard, people who never went through it judge it so easily. Poor guy all his depression turned into this wonderful art were listening now! Thank you Chester .. RIP!
This is the song that also best describes my own depression... It's gone for now, I hope it never comes back... But this song hits me really hard, every time. I'm extremely sad he didn't manage to recover. RIP Chester. :(
Ken Ramos It's hard to live in such a shitty world.
Its one of my favorite song when i was sad and depressed too this song painted every feeling i have. When i heard of Chester's death this song was so him. He had the fame and money but goes to show depression and emotional scars from the past can damage us so much.
Ken Ramos Its easy for normal people to judge,Depression erodes every fiber of your existence and what a master pie of art and hope this guy created for generations to come.
Ken Ramos
Parents divorcing is a pussy reason to be depressed.
I'm sure this song means different things to different people. I lost my marriage this year, back in May. And I've been close to the edge almost every night since. This song, along with a good amount of others by Linkin Park, have kept me going. It meets me at the place where my heart broke, makes me face it, and then points me in a direction with a new mindset: it's time to start again. Every day is a new chance to start over. He couldn't save himself but he continually saves all of us. Rest easy Chester. You and your band are heroes still, even today.
Courage!
Good to hear that His music had and still has such an astounding and tranquilising effect (simultaneously)......just wanna add that it makes us two...........and I am sure many more all across the world.
This was my song after a similar experience. Bon courage, Joshua!
Well done and beautifully said x
Stay strong!! Sometimes life sucks but you have to keep it moving.
You were my childhood, my high school years, my college years.
Rest now Chester, I cannot thank you enough.
same here, so damn sad.
same :( i listen to Linkin Park since I was 6 years old, now I'm 21...

not here to argue. cause they were a rock group. but the messenger carries an incredible weight when listened to. the simplicity in acoustic guitar piano and voice is powerful
I never gave "new" linkin park a chance, but I have to agree this is one of if not the best the band has ever put out.
"The hardest part of ending is starting again." -Linkin Park
I think I just found my senior quote.
Edit (June 19, 2020): Well, it's been one heck of a journey, but as of today, I am an official high school graduate. I have to say that I never expected my graduation to happen amidst a pandemic, but here we are. That said, there are just somethings you never expect would ever happen. Back in 2017, for instance, I was absolutely shocked by the news of Chester Bennington's death. I believe I speak for every fan here when I say that Bennington was the last person I would expect to have been as deeply troubled as he was that day. And how ironic that, for a man that has helped to save so many people from their own troubles, it was actually him that was the most in pain. Life can be very cruel sometimes, and it happened in one of the most unexpected ways imaginable. But I'm not here to reminisce over an idol's death. I am here today to thank Bennington, Mike Shinoda, and the rest of Linkin Park for their impact on a single life. Because Linkin Park's music is simply outstanding. I began listening to LP sometime during the 3rd grade, a little after A Thousand Suns was released, and from then on, I listened to their entire discography (from Hybrid Theory to Reanimation, to The Hunting Party) right into my high school years. Because even though tastes, values, and circumstances change year to year, there was always something about LP's sound that made their music feel ageless and consistently relevant. And this sound always inspired me to improve myself, to try new things and experiment, to take big steps and leaps with courage and passion; to be better today than I was yesterday, even now, amidst a pandemic. What I'm saying then is that Linkin Park helped shape me into the man I am today: a mature, resilient, and optimistic adult, with his entire life ahead of him. Somethings don't last forever, and people do change over time, for better or for worse. Linkin Park is a band that at the very least changed the life of a single soul, and made him better than he was 4 years ago. Thank you, Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave Farrell, Joe Hahn, Rob Bourdon, and Chester Bennington for two decades of incredible songwriting. Thank You.

Wow, I can't believe this song was released 14 years ago, but it still feels brand new.
Whenever I feel alone I lock myself in a room and listen to every song of Linkin Park.
R.I.P Chester you were a true hero for me.
Sabir Ali me to
Sabir Ali i think He was a hero to all of us
Sabir Ali me too. I did that when they first came out. Somehow Linkin Park always took me out of my depression.
same here bru whenever i feel lonely i just listen to their song..
Their songs makes me shiver. I don`t know why.
In my own opinion this is the most underrated LP song. It´s a song understanding the people out there understanding their pain, understanding what it means to move on, not saying ah come on everything will get better just dont be sad anymore. Yes sometimes you want to trade your life for something else and sometimes the pain and the struggle is just too big.
Me personally would never kill myself, but i had depression and i can understand the people doing it, and i dont think you can say they´re doing something wrong. And also to think like you do you need to have a strong belief in god.
U should listen burning in the skies....dat song is most underrated LP song
Matu first song I bought of Linkin Park
Matu stay woke🙏🗅🗅♂
Marie Carmelina Sandrine Joseph
"God loves his children
That's why he kills them."
I'll be honest. After Chester passed apart of me was so upset because most of these songs were about fighting to stay alive but when it happened It broke me because I even thought about my own life, if it really was worth living. I had relied on their music during my teens because I needed to somebody to say the words I couldn't say. So since he passed I stopped listening to Linkin Park only because of that dilemma. But after hearing this song after what feels like years since I used this to help heal last, I'm not mad. Sure its still hard to listen to knowing what happened but I need to realize that Linkin Park is one of the very few bands that actually made me want to keep fighting for literally my life. Without this band I would have been dead a long time ago but I need to just appreciate the absolute art this band made. The hardest part of ending is starting again. Thank you Linkin Park for helping me when I wasn't able to help myself and I use examples of this band to help out the ones I love most. Thank You x
Stay strong.
Bless you. Always keep going.
Stay stong ! Keep hoping and everything will be better someday !
Yes I am sad that chester died and there song there could be a slight chance that chester was trying to say never give up no matter what happens but again rip Chester and yes there music still helps me alot through hard times
keep fighting..... you can do it man...
"There's things we can have but can't keep" Chester you are deeply missed. I can't get myself to listen to the new singer bc it's not you. Your music has touched a lot of people and it has so much meaning. Thank you for what you gave us.
I'm my opinion this is one of the most well composed song ever. Not just from LP, but from any other music creators.
The way this songs builds just gives me goosebumps.
Could not word that any better myself!
Salute to the one who wrote it🖤
Thinking about the lyrics mean to Chester brings me to tears
"We always tried to comfort other people first but in doing so, we failed to comfort our own selves"

comeback Ches pls...:(
RIP Chester.
Linkin Park may not be the band i listen the most to these days, but they were a major part of my early teen years and i still enjoy their stuff from time to time.
The gut wrenching screams and touching singing of Chester largely made this band what it is.
I don't know exactly what to say right now.
I'd just wish he had called for help instead of ending it all.
If you have suicidal thoughts please talk to someone about it.
It really helps. Maybe not in the beginning, but in time you'll find that opening your heart to someone (pretty much anyone), will make you feel less alone with your problems.
Look out for yourselves out there. Here's to Chester Bennington.
same here...
Slackerphilosopher every time we get a god on the mic or in a band...they die....this is just like kurt cobain

i dont know how to move on that line got me😭😭😭
Nobody on the earth can replace Chester Bennington.Miss you Chester☹️🥺
But it is not healthy to live clinging to the past
Nobody is replacing him, you doofus.
If youre clinging to an absolute legend like chester it is@Forzaesparar3tr4sadoz
Nobody ever said that the idea was to replace him.
I have to admit this is one of the best songs I heard.
Our thoughts are same.
Timeless. Really captures the essence they were evolving towards
Underrated song. Better than "in the end" for me. The flow in this song is perfect from start to end.
And so damn true and relatable! "The hardest Part of ending is starting again."
how could you read my head ?
It's crazy that when I was at the worse stage of my life, suicidal and depressed, this was one of the few songs I would derive comfort from. I even wanted to get a tattoo of the phrase "this is not the end, this is not the beginning."
"This is not the end (...)" to remind me that the world hadn't just suddenly stopped for me. That life was going to keep going, and that one day, I would realize that that point in my life was not the end. The other part, "(...)this is not the beginning", to remind me that I had felt pain before, that I wasn't new at this, and therefore, I would handle it, I could fight this. So, "This is not the end, this is not the beginning" comforted me, even just for a few seconds, because it told me that this was not the end of my life, but just the middle. Maybe Chester knew about the impact his music had on others, maybe he didn't. Regardless, depression is a horrible, horrible, and insidious monster. If it gets to the point of actual suicide, you know that pain was immense, more immense than we'd like to know. Feeling suicidal is like running out of oxygen in an empty room, and desperately looking for a way out so that you can breathe. Except that you have lost all hope that there is one, and you just want to end the pain, and you feel like your only way out is the worse way out. I wish he hadn't gone this way. I wish that nobody had to go this way. And anyone watching the news now, who is feeling suicidal, I hope you try to endure the pain just a bit longer, because even if you cant imagine one way out now (that doesn't end your life), I promise you there IS one. I waited a bit longer, and I found my will to live once again. Hope was returned to me. Rest in peace, Chester.
That's a beautiful interpretation. I hope happiness has found and surrounded you.
JasminPamela True words
Beautiful
JasminPamela I literally just redownloaded all the songs i loved by them and then when he news came up, i was devastated until i saw this comment. Thanks mannn
JasminPamela i feel you this song make me strong in hard situations i so grateful with chester rest in peace brave man!
This is not a song, it's a masterpiece 👏
RIP Chester 💕
Stéphen Hanks o sososososooooooooooo True well said I strongly Agree lol
I love the way Chester sings here and I also love Emily's interpretation, as someone else said Chester sings with pain and Emily sings with fury. What an amazing song this!
Today this song becomes a very sad anthem to an icon. RIP Chester, thanks for the memories.
Most UNDERRATED song of all time, by far my favorite song.
Not completely. It hit number 48 on Billboard's top 100 rock songs of the 2010s.
same here dude, greetz from germany
Just because you found it late, doesn't mean it's underrated. Look at the views ffs!
@@differentangle1 I saw the views. Thanks for your informative comment...
Me too. It's my favourite song of all time
His voice was so beautiful and so powerful at the same time. Rest in peace, Chester. I'll miss you.
Chester is never die in my heart 😢😢
Suddenly all their songs have different meaning to you... RIP Chester
Luke Malatinsky it has for me all these years.
No, its just people are actually listening to the lyrics now rather than just hearing a good sounding track. Every song Chester wrote and sang has pain and loneliness in it. I have every single album and there is so much pain in all of them. If you don't know, you don't know... probably why i have everything they produced....
agree @@AutoPainter86
I never considered myself a devoted fan of Linkin Park, but I was still sad to hear of Chester Bennington's passing. His vocal range was absolutely incredible, and this song is solid proof of that. It really feels like he's still alive when he hits that high note at 3:36.
I was never a huge Linkin Park fan like my sister but I still liked some of their music and was sad when I heard about Chester's passing. I was actually in shock at first when I found out but after that initial shock was over I became sad
Yep I totally agree
Insane. Still gives me goosebumps. I think its a mother fucking B6. 0.0
Mangustification damnit I almost fucking cried after reading this and then listening to that part it does..
Sososososo true...even after years of practice,i cant reach the range he had
Lyrics:
This is not the end, this is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot, rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm
And though the words sound steady, something empty's within them
We say yeah, with fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear
Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control
Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go
I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I want to do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got
Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasn't so
I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I want to do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got
What was left when that fire was gone?
I thought it felt right, but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
And I don't even know what kind of things I said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
So, I'm picking up the pieces now, where to begin
The hardest part of ending is starting again
All I want to do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got
This is not the end, this is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot, rocking every revision
I'm holding on to what I haven't got
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something empty's within them
We say yeah, with fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
Holding on to what I haven't got
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
Until we get it, forget it, let it all disappear
Thank you
Its literally in the description
WOW rest in peace Chester, these lyrics feel so different now.
Muito obrigado pela letra
we're always here, still remembering you and your greatest works, rest in piece, chester! 🙏
That transition at 2:19. This song is a masterpiece from every aspect. R.I.P Chester.
Cool stuff
Eshwar J to
RochNoure. So do is
You how mer. You
:-)
It's a VERY well crafted song. It's gorgeous.
to be honest a thousand suns is the most underrated yet the album with some real deep shit lyrics and so peaceful and in some songs awesome beats!!
I will always love this band they are my life 💜
+DatSoldiersASpy Official lol haha
+Superbi Zexser minutes to midnight isn't underrated. almost every song off of it was a big success and widely spread
+Superbi Zexser well since most songs of the album are huge hits the album = hit. but I get ur point
Linkin Park is a lifestyle my friends and a fuckin good one at that, reapect it cause you clearly cant stop it.
well LP is no life style.... LP IS LIFE itself
"all I wanna do is trade this life for something new" hit very different now, I'm in tear.
Emily was in tear during the comeback live on this part.
R.I.P Chester...He was a kind, emotional and warm-hearted person and you can feel it in most of his songs...This is a sad..sad day...
Archie Goes Mental ill miss him a lot
shedding a few man tears right now grew up listening to linkin park all through middle and high school rip chester
yeah man, I never get sad about celebrities, but LP was the sound track that I grew up to. I'm not used to be so upset for a man I never knew :(
Yeah, fcking Same man :* @James Edwards
James Edwards me too LP songs have so much meaning to them they helps me through a lot
They can be normal tears you know.
Whitespirit0lvn women tears too man. :(
We are here not because "Corona crisis quarantine or Recommend for you" but we really miss our legend , Chester Bennington :)
Yes we do.. :)
Miss him so much, he spoke to my soul.
That is the truth,
uh im not i came here on my own not becuss of one dude that i rly didnt like at first
nobody cares
best song ever written
The crescendo, the beautiful harmonies and the final canon between Shinoda and Chester makes this song a truly masterpiece.
It's a sweet sweet harmony for sure, oh my god did it breathe air in me *sighs
Fight club , everybody is fighting with something !! some with another , some with themselves , some with both .
Tyler Durden Absolutely agree. A complete work of art. God I miss, Chester. He was an emotional tour de force, filled with energy, emotion, rage, sadness and love.
@@FOXAMG63 agree xxxxx
R.I.P Chester you were a damn legend everyone will miss you❤😭
He IS a damn legend.
preach
Victor Miranda Chester is a Legend ❤
Chester had the voice of an angel, while being able to scream like a demon. Today marks 6 years from his passing. RIP Chester, your amazing voice will continue to inspire millions of people for generations to come.
Exatamente isso!
Voz de anjo POTÊNCIA DE DEMÔNIO!
I disagree. He had the voice of an Angel and screamed like an Angel as well. Demons are really weak.
@@chrisbailey9377exactly!
“Voice of an angel, while being able to scream like a demon “ - you’re absolutely right!! RIP Chester!! 😢
bro really stole a quote from Alex Hefner and thought we wouldn't notice 💀💀
リンキンの復活はとても嬉しい
けどチェスターの声も一生忘れない
Chester was speaking so clear to us, so painfully and so frankly that we thought it was just a song.
That's the saddest truth I ever heard about.
😢❤
When he died, I came back to this song and realized he was sending a message. He was crying for help
Ye but he sung about his depression to tell us how it feels😥
Though you may be gone, your work and voice are immortal.
Thank you Chester.
This was probably my favourite song of theirs; conveying dispair with a tone of hope. So many things probably were left unsaid Chester, may you rest in peace.
same
O Pritchard?!?!? I have a brother with this name. Is this Otis??
Wow. “The hardest part of ending is starting again”.
R.I.P. beloved Chester.
Welcome home Emily.
🥲
This one's way underrated... Has to be one of their best... Hits really deep... 😭
200 million views isn't underrated lmao
Not underrated bro....its way more than legendary. Asy any 90's kid.
It's underrated because numb has 1.7 billion views and this song is better in a lot of ways. To each his own.
Agreed
@@myaccount5204 That's exactly what I meant... It hurts that this one hasn't got to a Billion yet...😞
R.I.P. and thanks for all the great songs 😭 sometimes when i get emotional i listen to this song and feel so understood and relieved..
I have been battling depression for 7 months. No talking to people and detachment social media. All I want is to listen to their songs and read books. It helped. I can say that Chester saved my life man.
Sad we couldn’t save his’
"1 can save Millions, but millions cant save 1."
You are brave! stay strong !proud of you!
Been battling depression for most of my life. It’s soul sucking and a battle to say the very least. But you’ve got to stand tall in the midst of darkness. To move forward when moving feels like wading through quick sand. And to keep fighting when the going gets tough. You’ve got this 👌🏽
Currently facing a severe relapse in depression. Linkin Park helped me to crawl out from the depths and I'm in a much safer spot now.
It's no meds or therapy, but it's always with me. That's all I need. Anything that lets me sleep.
"The hardest part of ending is starting again"
Unfortunately, Linkin Park did start again, and this is proof the hardest part is starting again. R.I.P Chester
I swear Linkin Park hits different when you're depressed.
absolutely correct
Probably because they have some of the most depressing music ever.
My favourite song for my funerals..
Especially after his passing.
damn straight
“The hardest part of ending is starting again” years later, they found themselves in the exact same situation.Mike is exactly feeling this right now and his new lyrics proves it “I don’t want to know the end All I want is a place to start” can’t imagine what he’s going through, starting over leaving behind 20+ years of dedication.
heyna S He's not leaving behind LP. They said they have every intention to continue.
I'm crying right now. So heart breaking.
About a year ago I kicked my alcohol addiction cause I thought saving my own life was a good way to honor Chester. This song was the soundtrack
You're a legend
Man, this is great.
Happy for you man. Hope I can find that same strength.
Such a mess the man couldn't save himself, i wanted him to know that he saved millions and still will save more in the following years with his message.
@@crimsonking440 I'm rooting for you, dude, I really do. Let's try and keep tackling it one day at a time
This song last 3:54 minutes but hurts whole life!
:(
@@usbeinghumanz Don't be sad, take it as proof of Linkin Park's greatness and that we are not the only people who go through existential crises, you have the face of an intelligent person, with doubts and who questions his own existence and that always generates that feeling of emptiness but you are not, here I am with you!
@ omg !!!! What made you write that!!!! You are awesome!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Also heals your way through...
@@usbeinghumanz It´s what I carry inside and if you knew that English is not my first language, you would value it even more, haha greatings!

no one can replace Chester he is a legend and Sang like an angel
Screamed like a demon
Lived as a man
Died a legend
chester healed everybody
but failed to heal himself.
Chester is a Inspiration to all R.I.P Chester WE ALL MISS HIM
beautiful!
"Show less"
Ok so it's copy pasted
Cool
wolvesdiamond us
lol
wolvesdiamond
Show less button didn't work
The end finally came, Chester. We know it's out of your control. and it's not easy to fight against something inside of your mind. We just miss you. We all are. Rest in Peace, legend!
Mirwan Namiruddin I've been listening to this song since his passing :(
:( chester's death open my mind to be what i realy be , but i think the end of times is coming... my life isnt the same , why god?
I've been doing that too. Every single song of their albums are in my playlist. Trying not to cry, but I can't (Leave out all the rest especially).
I used to think about Nirvana fans how they feel when reading news about Kurt's death. Now I know the feeling. It sucks. hurt. heartbroken. Damn it.
It's good to ask God and read the Bible. Believe in Me Jesus is asking me and you. God bless you NAST RED
This line hits me hard every time I hear this “Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control”
I'm just crying right now while listening to chester's voice RIP Chester, the legend
Linkin Park can't be put into a specific genre. They are a UNIVERSE.
nah they are just nu/alt metal
@@hades2679 They did more genres than that.
@@hades2679 They made pop songs too
@@mjgextremegaming2942 any band does more than just 2 genres, except ac/dc lol
I mean take a look at a7x, they made metalcore, alt metal, country metal, hard rock, hardcore punk, and city of evil
and a lot of metal bands are like this and you can't put them into a specific genre
but linkin park most of their songs are alt/nu metal so they can be put into a specific genre
@@nbs2024 ik
Anyone else going on a Linkin Park marathon in memory of Chester? May you rest in peace
Dinster Vlogs me
same here
The last 30 hours
going on a day now
🙌🏻
This song deserve billion views
No one can replace Chester Bennington and Linkin Park will never be the same without him. The nostalgia :'(
Randy Zhen prolly gonna happen the same that happened to Nirvana
Randy Zhen I KNOW😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
So picking up the pieces now where to begin, the hardest part of ending is starting again ;___;!!!!!!!
As I got much older, the more I understand their songs
Yes, exactly this.
This one bro 💯💪🏽 I’ve been listen to them since I was really young it my first rock band I had listen to and they are still and will always be the best 💯but I can really relate to your comment 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes and as the world grows colder. I imagine Chester would be so sad with the world as it is now. I’m so thankful for the words he gave us.
Same here! So much pain in his words! But so brilliantly said!
Their songs are like so meaningful
It's hard to let you go.
