    I was skeptic when I saw the title, because this song is one of the most powerful tracks from Linkin Park, especially from Chester. It has a huge meaning behind the lines, there is a whole story, a broken, hopeless story that slowly killed a beautiful soul. I've always thought that no one can ever sing it like Chester, and no one ever should, because it's his song, his stroy, his pain. And I was kind of right, no one will ever sing the way he did, but it is alright.
    The original was strong, it hurt hurt hurt on so many levels, the way Chester was screaming and barely even breathing through the lines, the way he sang faster and faster with every word represented his angry and hopeless depression, the fight he couldn't win against his own broken soul, and those true feelings made this song legendary.
    Your version is totally different, and thank God it is. It is calmer, it has strength in it on so many levels, it has the determination and hope of a person who decided to get up and turn into the light again. It doesn't have the pain the song carried with Chester, but it has the will of fight, and it was everything.
    Thank you very much for this beautiful masterpiece. This is how his memory should go on. This is how we heal.

      Mogyee95 this is so true. My heart's still sore from his death, i cant help but feel like i took Chester for granted when he was with us. It didnt even cross my mind that he might not have been okay. I continued to hurt myself when he was singing and his words were curing my sickness, but I kept hurting myself. I feel like a dirty scumbag who's betrayed him. But maybe this is how we should heal.

    Honestly so genuinely beautiful.
    The original catches the chaos of emotions, the panic he feels in what he’s about to do.
    This version sounds so... content. Sounds like they accepted their fate and they’re just content with what’s going to happen.
    Honestly gives completely new meaning to the original song. One shows the chaos and one shows the calm before the storm. I love it.
    Either way, brought me to tears.
    10/10.

    Memories consume
    Like opening the wound
    I'm picking me apart again
    You all assume
    I'm safe here in my room
    Unless I try to start again
    I don't want to be the one
    The battles always choose
    'Cause inside I realize
    That I'm the one confused
    I don't know what's worth fighting for
    Or why I have to scream
    I don't know why I instigate
    And say what I don't mean
    I don't know how I got this way
    I know it's not alright
    So I'm breaking the habit
    I'm breaking the habit tonight
    Clutching my cure
    I tightly lock the door
    I try to catch my breath again
    I hurt much more
    Than anytime before
    I had no options left again
    I don't want to be the one
    The battles always choose
    'Cause inside I realize
    That I'm the one confused
    I don't know what's worth fighting for
    Or why I have to scream
    I don't know why I instigate
    And say what I don't mean
    I don't know how I got this way
    I'll never be alright
    So I'm breaking the habit
    I'm breaking the habit tonight
    I'll paint it on the walls
    'Cause I'm the one at fault
    I'll never fight again
    And this is how it ends
    I don't know what's worth fighting for
    Or why I have to scream
    But now I have some clarity
    To show you what I mean
    I don't know how I got this way
    I'll never be alright
    So I'm breaking the habit
    I'm breaking the habit
    I'm breaking the habit tonight

    normally i tend to avoid acoustic covers of songs, especially when the original is a lot more fast paced, and i'm not saying this as a detriment to Jonathan it's just they were never really a thing for me. i finally listened to this on a whim because i needed something to listen to

    Beautifully done. The greatness of the original was that it spoke Chester's true struggle and emotions. It was personal and was something only he could convey and no one else could.
    Instead of trying to mimic the struggle in the song you sung it your own way. It sounds like you're mourning a loss than trying to overcome a struggle which is what is truly comming from the heart when you sing it. To you it is not the struggle that went on to the end of Chester's life, it's the echo of an inspiration to you that has now passed. You made this version your own and it's stands better for it.

    I was recently reminded of one of my old friends. The one friend I couldn't help. The one friend I lost to suicide. I can usually tell when my friends are depressed. I couldn't tell with her. My friends just, without me saying anything, would come to me with suicidal thoughts, I'd always talk them down. She didn't come to me. The morning after the last day of Sophomore year, 2008. I woke to a text of her smiling face saying 'I always loved you'. I immediately called her, her mom answered, she did the unthinkable just a few minutes after that text. Her mom and dad were out on a date at the time. I found out I was the last person she ever contacted.
    I guess I subconsciously pushed that memory down deeper and deeper. Turns out, this was her favorite song. Maybe it was a sign? I don't know. I had a BUNCH of friends who were never suicidal or even depressed who loved this song and even had Linkin Park as their favorite band forever. I think I've played this song on youtube and my phone about 50 times since that memory was dredged up this past Monday(currently end of Wednesday).
    I reached out to the person who wrote a note to a youtuber, who read it aloud on his community stream Monday night. He had a similar experience. I related mine to him and the other one I have that relates to the OTHER part of his in his letter. We're friends now and I thanked him for bringing up a part of my history I don't know why I'd ever want to forget.
    Now, I thank you for reinforcing my vehemently strong personal push through depression, suicidal thoughts, and my efforts to help those around me. I'm no professional, but I've always been a shoulder and supporter for friends. Thank you!

      I recently had another loss in my life, July 5th of last year. Well, July 4th, but no one knew until the morning of the 5th. My 12 year old niece had committed suicide. My family won't be celebrating our nation's Independence Day as normal, if at all, for a while. In the last 10 years it's just been blow, after blow, after blow. But, good things have come, too.
      Finally getting a pet I've always wanted, a Leopard gecko. Getting over my ex, finding 'me' without someone in my life, accepting my bisexual side, getting my first boyfriend, and coming out to my family. Adopting a leopard gecko from a couple friends, and currently going through work to raise him back to health. But along the way, I've lost my father, an uncle, my sister-in-law, and one of my nieces.
      Life comes with ups and downs, some downs worse than others. But, I have stayed positive. Living for those I've lost before their time.

This is a perfect example of something i realized recently as i started listening to more Linkin Park songs: the faster songs are usually heavier than the slower/more emotional ones. Songs like this, Bleed it out, and One step closer hide the heavy meaning behind the fast paced intensity of the song itself and to hear that be brought to the forefront of the song...it's incredible

    Three years... God, it feels like longer. I remember when I first found out; I was just hanging out with my brother and playing some video games and all of a sudden my mom started crying uncontrollably. She'd found a news article online about how Chester was gone, and at first I thought it was just some joke being played by journalists.
    I still wish that was the case...
    It was a long time before anyone in my house listened to Linkin Park, almost a year and a half. And at first it was hard, finding the songs that wouldn't make me cry; but over time it's gotten easier. There's only a handful now that do it, Numb, Leave Out All The Rest, and Breaking The Habit are the main ones. And almost every time I listen to a cover or the original of this, I have to hold back the tears.
    Jonathan did an amazing job with this, I say along the entire time, even when tears started flowing, and I'm glad, because it personally shows how well of a job he did putting the right emotions into the song.
    Chester would be proud, I firmly believe that.
    Rest In Piece, Chester

    This song is my absolute favorite song by Linkin Park, for the longest time, and eventually became the anthem in my sobriety. It's rough to make a cover of this and make it as powerful as the original while paying it homage, and you hit the nail on the head. Beautifully done!

      @sluttymctits4496 6 років тому +1

      Allie Marie - I may be nine months late, but your story is the same as mine. When I first heard the song in high school, it was an anthem for the general crappiness that everyone feels as a teenager. As an adult, it took on a much darker, personal meaning. I wish you all the best in your continuing journey, my sister. It's not easy, but we've got this. ❤

      Everyone's different so it's totally fine that you haven't experienced it, but many people, myself included, have musicians we hold dear to our hearts because their music helped us get through some really rough patches in our lives. So I imagine that's what darkdiashi is referring to. It can be a heavy emotional weight to know the man that sung the lyrics you connected to so deeply killed himself.

    I come back to this, often. And I cry, every single time. This song got me through some really rough times in my youth (I remember covering it semi-acoustically with my high school band too, obviously nowhere near your level, of course), and I wish there would've been something to help Chester get through his. You did this song justice, Jonathan. So much. And you have helped ensure the song and the memory of Chester will live on. Thank you.

  • @KitKat-bn7zw
    @KitKat-bn7zw 6 років тому +2

    I’m so happy with the direction in which you took this song. It’s always been my go to song when I’ve felt overwhelmed. I’ve struggled with an eating disorder for almost 9 years now ( some time of recovery thrown in there) and finding the right words on how to explain to people how you feel on the inside is so hard! I always cry when I listen to this version, but I feel like it releases everything I’ve been bottling up. The emotion you’ve put behind this cover reminds me that other people are out there hurting too, and as stupid as this sounds, makes me feel not so alone. It’s like a aha moment that somebody DOES understand. Not necessarily the ED issue itself, but just the pain and mental toll it takes. The constant frustration on not understanding why I can’t stop. Thank you.

    Likin Park has always had a deep impact on me. Chester's pain resonated within me so deeply that he nearly dragged me down with him. I wish I could have met him, I would've tried to pull him out. But since his music impacted me so deeply, I have to be careful of his music, and I am the most critical of cover artists. But this song, this song was just as strong as Chester's. I'm sitting here in stunned silence, tears pooling from my eyes. Thank you for this, and please, if you are struggling, find help. We love you and are all here for you.
