You and I both, brother. From when they were still HYBRID THEORY all the way up until we lost him. It will always destroy me that he didnt see any other way.
depression and all alike are worse then any nightmare i ever had. sometimes you think you got it under control just to get a punch out of nowhere and i agree this song gets me every time but it also gives me the power to move on and fight again
Chester said "the worst person for him to be left alone with, was himself." Him losing his battle to the "demons" that haunted him throughout his life is still hard.
"Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there " This line get's me every damn time. It is a sentence to live by. He's not dead. He's in our hearts where he'll live on for eternity 💝
The battle with mental illnesses also resonates with this one. Just because other people can't see the dark holes in our souls when they look at the happy/normal mask we provide to the world doesn't mean the hurt and struggles aren't inside those who suffer. It has a deeper meaning, just like "Heavy".
All of that emotion is such an honest response. The sadness I think, comes from the message in the chorus, that he cares for the lives of others but was unable to afford himself that love. I've lost far too many people in this manner, have survived it myself and this hits so close to home. Glad you took the time to react to this one. Sorry for the ramble.
I just want to say that,while I don't know what Chester was going through, people with severe depression dont necessarily hate themselves (though it is often the case), sometimes its simply a matter of pain and mental anguish, or loss of meaning and enjoyment. RIP Chester, I cried again watching this. He was a truly special person as well as a once-in-a-lifetime musician.
Couple of things I take issue with in your comment: 1) you have ZERO reason to apologise for ANYTHING beyond your control, so never beat yourself up over losing someone in such a manner. I'm sure you did all you could to talk them down. 2) You apologised for rambling when you didn't ramble. You were concise, succint, and got the message you wanted to get out there, out there. It's an authentic heartfelt message, and no matter how many inner demons you fought before typing it into words, you're a stronger, better person for overcoming them.
It's because Chest wasn't able to manage his own decision making process. Depression is our avatar telling us that it's hard being the character we want to play.
Bit of random trivia but in the game Runescape 3 there's a Wisp called Chester, and when you examine it it says "It flickers, flickers..." which I thought was really lovely
I wish it does cause I ask that same question especially when you can connect it to your own personal story. I lost my wife so for me I can never hear this song and not get something in my eye
It's such a bizarre, modern human experience missing someone you've never met. He ended his life on my 30th birthday and it will forever be the most impactful celebrity death on me. Like many others here, Linkin Park help me through some hard times growing up. They also helped highlight some good times... Thanks for this heartfelt reaction.
Just Like with His Lyrics He so often Hit what one was Feeling so precisly . . . I felt Seen by someone I never Met and WHO Had No Idea I even exist, when many I Talk too do Not seam to hear a Word I say
I’m pretty sure every linkin park fan cries when listening this song for the first time, that’s why when Lost came out and listen to Chester voice once again was such a beautiful experience
I cry whenever I hear the song. Sometimes it varies on how quickly it fucks me up but every time I hear this song it fucks me up regardless... It never fails
Yeah I've seen that video twice and can't do it again. Seeing how much pain he's in and knowing it was only 2 months before he died is just... pfff... It sucks. Incredible performance but it's brutal to experience knowing what we know now.
As i heared the news... i cried. Chester was the Leadsinger of the most loved band of my youth and it broke me ... i always wanted to see Linkin Park live ... Now im 28 years and i still cry over the loss ... R.I.P. Chester always missing you
Linkin Park connected with me and my daughter. She had bought us tickets to see them in Charlotte NC. This CD came with the tickets. We were 3 weeks away from seeing them live when we lost him. Still gets me today.
The part that always cracks me is that fading "I do" during the guitar melody after the second chorus and at the same time the short clips that rush through at a very hugh speed. It seems like Chester sees his life and fovorite moments flashing before his eyes in his last moments while he is slowly fading away like the "I do".
The live version of that part will mess you up even more. Not sure if you've seen it or not, but live on jimmy Kemmel.. He practically breaks down after that part.
during the live concert in UK, I think around June 2017, he screams that part super loud, while standing in the crowd. It's skin-tingling chilling but also heart-racingly awesome!
@@xix9182what he’s saying is that if someone dies who you lived with you will have one more chair than you need because that’s probably the chair that that person was sitting on every time
it can also signify that we can have "one more chair" for a person to sit beside us and talk. U can say its a theme of a home where u can have one more chair for ur son or ur loved one to sit and speak his/her heart out
Chester was very open about his struggles with Depression and he wrote so many songs about it. He connected with people on a very personal level and he loved doing that, you can see it in all of his fan contact videos. But he's also the perfect example of how being larger than life and such a cool dude wasn't enough. How being so loved by everyone didn't even matter...because in his own mind, he never deserved any of it. What a crazy thing depression is...get help if you feel like that. "She thinks, I'm iron man that I don't feel pain WelI, I don't understand why joy must be feigned I'm so fortunate yet filled with self hate But the mirror shows me an ingrate" Peter Steele
You aren't alone. You aren't the only one crying right now. It's an amazing video, and I commend you for doing your reaction live. It's a really tough song to listen too, especially knowing what he went through. Much admiration for you, and RIP Chester and Chris...
It always makes me mad when people say that committing sv!cide is selfish. It completely diminishes what person was going thru and those of us who struggle with it every single day. I'm glad they've been releasing previously unheard Linkin Park songs like "Lost". It keeps his memory and legacy alive while still doing what Chester always advocated for: good mental health and loving yourself for who you are. On another note, Mike Shinoda just released a track that I think you'll really like. RIP Chester, we miss you.❤❤
I agree. My boss committed suicide and a super religious coworker said how coward he was and he's in hell. I can't pretend to know the pain these people are in and I don't see it as being selfish or a coward at all
@ASLLover666 unfortunately anxiety and depression is hard to explain unless the person is going thru it themselves. Everyone deals with it differently as well so it's not some same blanket of symptoms that we all have.
I was at the last live show he performed with Linkin Park. Which was exactly two weeks before he passed away. I have had his portrait tattooed on me as tribute and in memory to him. I've been shocked by celebrity/musician/actor deaths before and since. But I've always been able to carry on my day. Except with Chester. It left me lost for words and I couldn't stop thinking about it and him.
I feel the same way about his death and i cannot find an explanation for it.... their songs have a second meaning to me since his death..... they once helped me through my tough days but now they remind me of his scarred soul every time i hear them. I never knew this song...... but it hit very hard....
Such a sweet and innocent beautiful reaction. I am 55 and I have shed tears over this song numerous times. It hits hard and deep. Well done for getting through this. And never be ashamed of crying......💔💔💔
Love the reaction ! It's so pure, honest and powerful.. This song hits harder than ever .. it was already a beautiful/sad/hard song when the album came... and after 20th of July it was waaay harder. The video is a LOVE letter to the band, to Chester and to us, the fans to pay tribute
Everytime I see him hugging the girl I burst out in tears. I've never been to a Linkin Park concert it is probably one of my biggest regrets in my whole life. I just know Chester rests in piece now and I only wish to see him when I am gone, too. Beautiful reaction.
The irony of him helping so many people through their darkest moments, caring so much about others, and then,.. It's just painful, but also so wonderful. And it reminds me to those other words of his: "When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed And don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest" Well, there are so many reasons for him to be missed.
It breaks me when Chester comes out of the locker, jumping with a crazy face. He was so happy and making others feel the same. LP forever in my heart. Thanks for the video! (Saludos desde Argentina!).
Thank for uploading such a vulnerable reaction. This is a beautiful song, he was a beautiful man and his loss is still felt heavily by us all to this day and your reaction encapsulates this perfectly. Sending you a big ol' hug!
I commend you for getting thru such a really emotional song. All fans of Linkin Park cried watching and listening to this. Chester had such an impact on my mental health journey thru his lyrics and songwriting. RIP CHESTER!
Chester and LP were perfectly able to articulate how it feels to be the person who has been through some terrible things in life but tries to spend all their time supporting everyone they love. It's hard for people to see through that positive exterior to the torment inside and the fact that for many people, not hurting and disappointing those people that they love is the only thing keeping them around. Sometimes it's important for people to hear that their life has meaning beyond just that.
Chester is an example that no how famous and rich you are, suicidal thoughts can effect anyone. Please know that you are never alone in anything. There are people that know what you are dealing with and can help you heal. The most difficult thing is to ask for it. Rest in Peace Chester. Gone, but never forgotten.
What I find hard is to see him with such a big smile on his face in the band footage. It almost hurts to see him seem so happy, knowing how he left this world. And I once tried to play this song for someone, because I knew how beautiful it was. But they couldn’t listen to it. They lost a sibling to cancer and it was too much.
I agree with you but that is all an act when it comes to Chester and others suffering through severe depression I do the same thing with my depression I hide it well because nobody gives a damn about me or anybody else in my situation
Yes, I agree, that’s why I used the word seem. He smiled and appeared to be happy, but deep down that clearly wasn’t the case. And I’m sorry you feel that way, and unfortunately I can relate. Sometimes it seems like nobody ultimately cares, not even people who are paid to help those in that situation. I’ve had the feeling that most people out there only care so much, and in the end it’s not enough.
One of my absolute favorites. This sits among the very few that I call my anchor songs, a list of go-tos that help keep me alive. It reminds me that if I'm going to hold life as something precious, then that must also include my own. RIP Chester. I do.
For us long time lp fans, this song and the mv particularly hits really hard. We've been fans for so long we've developed a personal connection with Chester even though we've never met him in person ever. So when he died it felt like a piece of me died.
Powerful reaction. This is one of the most heartwarming songs in their catalog. It hits so much harder nowadays. We lost a great one in Chester. Wishing your channel continued success.
The first time I've heard the Song back then in May'17 it was one of the best ballades I've heard so far. It was so touching my soul and it still does and every time when it comes to the line "in the kitchen, one more chair, than you need..." 😔it still hurts inside of me, especially when you've lost someone....no matter how long it's been. Those Persons you won't forget... Long story short, it's still my fav "quiet" Linkin Park Song after "My December". Thanks for you reaction!
Never a moment this video doesn't get me in tears. I am 37 and Linkin Park was such a huge part of my upbringing. Coming home from school listening to their albums every day. We lost a true light in this world. He lives on through his music and we miss him everyday. Thanks for sharing this honest reaction.
You should react to the live version of this song which was tribute to Chester’s friend Chris Cornell after his passing. There’s one “I do” towards the end of that song which is greater than a lot of today’s singer’s whole career ! ❤
Really appreciate your honest heartfelt reaction. I love this song for so many reasons and hits me emotionally every single time. Thank you for sharing and much love.
To my dad in heaven: Hey dad, I miss you more then ever. You left us in August of 2019 and four years later I miss you more then ever. You were not the ideal father figure yet you knew it and still acknowledged the mistakes of not being there and to this day I respect that. I never held any remorse against you because you were still my dad and it shook me to my core when you left us. You were so much more important to us kids than you could imagine. I will never judge your decisions in the life you lived and choices you made because nobody is perfect. I will never forget you Dad and just know I love you beyond what any words can describe 🖤🙏🏼
You are such an incredibly brave person to allow yourself to be so openly vulnerable to songs like this for others to see and thank you for doing so. I spend my work days helping people work on their health goals including physical and mental health but also at times struggle with my own and often times use some downtime watching some of these reaction videos because I feel such a deep conection to music. Chester and the LP music is so amazing and he is missed so much.
At 4:49, the video shows Chester cuddling with the children. That's my country, Thailand. At that time the southern part of Thailand was destroyed by the tsunami in 2004. People's homes were destroyed along with the tsunami and many people died a lot When Chester found out about this Chester and his friends immediately rushed to help. Chester and his friends helped donate and also opened for donations to collect money to build a new house and place for the children and many other victims Chester also used his own money to buy new books for the children because of the books the children had. All that were kept in the school were destroyed. In this disaster, some children not only lost their homes, but the poor children also lost all of their parents, which made those children orphans. But since then, this problem has been resolved. The children and People are healed. This is why I love Chester and Linkin Park so much and I will never forget it.❤
The tears have just been rolling down my cheeks throughout your video. This song gets me every time with its message and what happened to Chester. I, too, have struggled a lot through some parts of my life and I've been thinking about letting go.. But I've been too scared of it at the same time, scared of the pain I'd be causing not only possibly to myself but also those who care about me. Music, especially songs from Linkin Park have played a major role in pushing me forward. That is something I'll be forever grateful for. Thank you for your honest, heartfelt reaction.
Not just a beautiful song and video but a beautiful and powerful reaction too, which powerfully illustrates that you, unlike so many others who make these videos, react genuinely from the heart. Take good care of yourself.
This song is powerful. And I love that you don't hold back on your reactions. Keeping them honest can be hard. And the blubbering ugly cry can be embarassing, so you get the proud papa nod for not shying away from that. Now. If you thought THIS video was powerful, the live version they did in honor of Chris Cornell on Jimmy Kimmel....that was soul shattering. I do recommend checking it out, but, maybe not for a reaction. Unless you wanna put yourself torn to shreds on here again.
I love your honest reaction to this video!! It made me sad as well, to see how much Chester loved his fans and was so passionate about his music, yet succumb to the demons of depression and end his life that was filled with love for people but in his depression felt he didn't deserve to have, which makes it more sad. Again, thank you for your beautiful and honest reaction to this video. R.I.P. Chester Bennington!! 😪💔 I miss you and your contribution to the music industry!! May your legacy be not only in your music, but also by all the lives you touched by your kindness and by your love for your fans!
I've probably seen like 50 of your videos over the years. Not sure why I hadn't subscribed yet, but I did just now. This song kills me too for my own personal reasons. It's gut wrenching every time. Excellent reaction. Anyone that can sit in front of a camera for our entertainment and then take it a step further by being so vulnerable deserves all the likes and subscribers
❤ what a beautiful song! what the video also shows is, that you cannot see depression on the outside.🙁 so many people fights with there depression, can be funny on the outside, but so sad on the inside. if you are fighting ,with depression please talk to someone! and to all the other people, take care of your love ones, and see the signs. greetings from germany
Thank you for sharing your reaction/watch through of 'One More Light' .. Linkin Park means alot to me. Their music, their message, has had a profound effect on me for many years, even before Chester's passing. At a very difficult time in my life, their music and message saved my life. This song in particular effected my out look on life, and the importance of all life, every light. So thank you for your heartfelt and honest reaction. And may your light continue to shine brightly ❤
Rachael! I love your naturalness and emotionality to analyze and react to the songs, and especially in this one, since starting the video you made me remember everything I felt back in 2017 when all this happened... the world should pay more attention to mental well-being, depression is often a silent state that eats away at you inside day by day, and there comes a point where it is very difficult to get out... a hug, and thank you very much for sharing your videos with us!
watching that video brings a tear to my eye every time, and then seeing your response really made it hard. I just wanted to give u a hug. Your response was so honest and raw.
One of my favorite memories of Linkin Park was when I saw them in concert after dropping Meteora. He did a Parkour Backflip off of a speaker. He had so much energy. It was an amazing concert. He is so missed. Also, when I think of this song I think of the memorial concert and every fan singing the song without anyone on the stage.
Your reactions are so pure, raw emotion and it's amazing to see! tbh i never heard this song till this reaction havent been in touch with music much the last 10 years but this one got me good... I had a friend hang himself last december, come to find out it was because of the years of abuse he experienced from his wife that we didnt really know he kept it hush hush and I wish he didnt... Such a kind man always helping people, putting others first and always full of life and happiness just like Chester but fighting some horrible demons on the inside. Life can be beautiful but it can be so cruel sometimes 😭
Thank you for keeping this video up. So many of us care so deeply about our online persona and not showing a real side and this made me tear up. I grew up listening to linkin park. I still listen to them when I need to shut the world out and just breathe and reset. It’s not just about Chester it’s about anyone in your life that meant something and was taken away/not there anymore. People mean something regardless of what anyone/organization says they do.
The progression of Chester and the band was so amazing to watch, I really thought when they came out with this he was finally beginning to heal, and to lose this light was devastating. We have to remind people of the message... thanks for being real.
I just recently started watching reactors. To be honest, I just needed to hear others speak on linkin Park and to read comments on this amazing band and to also shed a few tears.. 🙏Chester, you are truly missed and loved by millions...
Beautiful reaction. Genuine. Heartfelt. Don't ever cover that up or try to be 'cool' and suppress it. LOVED this reaction over most I've seen. Keep up the good work!
First time on your channel and I land on this video...🧐🤓🥺 Thank you for being so authentic, compassionate and loving about the message this video contains...🥰😇🙏 You just got yourself another follower because of who you are! ❤ Keep on spreading love! Cheers 😊
"Listening to 'One More Light' by Linkin Park always hits me right in the feels. 🎶💔 It's not just a song; it's a journey through emotions, memories, and moments that feel so vivid yet so distant at the same time. I remember the first time I heard it, tears streamed down my face as I found solace in Chester's voice. It was as if he understood the pain I couldn't put into words. Each note felt like a comforting embrace, reminding me that it's okay not to be okay. But the most profound experience I had with this song was when I lost someone dear to me. As I listened to it on repeat, each lyric became a lifeline, pulling me through the darkest days of grief. The raw honesty in Chester's voice echoed the emotions I couldn't express, and somehow, it made the burden a little lighter. 'Who cares if one more light goes out? Well, I do.' These words resonate with me on a soul-deep level. They remind me of the importance of every life, every soul, and every light in this world. It's a reminder to cherish those we love and hold them close, because you never know when one more light might flicker and fade away. Thank you, Linkin Park, for this masterpiece that's not just a song, but a beacon of hope and understanding for so many of us. Chester may be gone, but his light continues to shine through his music, touching hearts and souls around the world. 🕯💖" even chatgpt knows....
Beautiful tribute to a once in a lifetime artist and band. You're so genuine and sweet. It was a tremendous loss and your video is a gift to the band and their fans. ❤
Linkin Park were so important to me growing up. They came out when I was just a young teen. And they, along with another band, probably saved my life back then. I only got to see them once live, but it was a special moment. It was Download Festival 2014 and they played ‘Hybrid Theory’ start to finish - I was there as a man in his late-20’s with one of my best friends who I went through those rough teenage years with. I’m glad I took that chance, because only a few years later Chester was gone 😢 That devastated me because I always found Chester, and his struggles, so relatable (just like thousands of others worldwide). He’s a huge miss.
The song hits a spot we can all relate with, we all have had a light or lights go out in our lives. This was well done. By your reaction it's easy to tell how in touch with yourself you are. Thanks young lady
thank you for reacting to this , i have been a die hard fan of Linkin park and M Shinoda since i was a kid and first heard the debut of hybrid theory album they made that was golden . i had a very hard time with His death because when a Hero of so many thats done so much through his music and his out reaches and just being so awesome and humble even though he went through his addictions and struggles he made music for those of us who needed to bang our heads to , that gave us something to feel and relate to when everything felt gray , they brought color into my life . when i saw your reaction i understood . the word speechless came to mind . i have listened to their last album countless times and still shed tears every time this song comes on . of course i didnt know him personally . there is just some kind of way we live vicariously through others .. and what better way to connect than through music . i feel i can speak for others when i say just how meaningful Chester and mike and the whole band was and still is to so many of us . he will live on through our hearts and our playlists forever . "I'm strong on the outside, not all the way through. I've never been perfect, but neither have you" - Chester Bennington . may he rest in peace
The raw emotion in your reaction mirrors the raw emotion that Chester sang with in so many songs that we all treasure. He was truly 1 of 1, irreplaceable.
I'm glad to see people like you are still listening my most favorite band LP. Your emotion affects mine too. I'm really sad I will never see LP concert again.
Such a raw reaction. I love how you feel Chester even in his passing the same as I do. He was speaking out when noone could hear him. We have to be better for all the people in out lives to be the light jn the darkness.
I saw a lot of your reactions, but this here, was really hard!😢 This Song + video hit's me hard and makes me cry, since 2017😢 All the people will never forget Chester and his beautiful voice! This reaction here was brilliant! Thank you!🙂
Crying along with you the whole time. He was a real hero. He fought as long as he could for all of us. To keep giving us these beautiful pieces of hope.
Your reaction made wanna give you a hugh . so her's a hug 🫂 I am certain that for every tear you shed puts a smile on his face. we all miss him. with best wishes to you from Monterrey Mexico.
Amen to that, I lost a friend a few years ago, just fell in love with this song, it reminds me so much of my mate, I love Linkin park since Hybrid , seen them a few times, I miss Chester and Chris two of the best voices. it goes to show that who we all think as celebrities have problems just as much as we do.
. Everytime I hear this song it moves me, but watching your reaction really shook me. As other have mentioned the honesty and emotion you showed was tough to watch, it made me wish I was there to give you a hug and comfort you (I hope you had someone, or a cat, to do so) Actually I can say it always moves me (having watched your video a few times). I think its a testament to song's message.
Thank you for your honest reaction. This song is so emotional...it gets me every time...I am having often tears in my eyes, when hearing this outstanding piece of music
I cried when i heard on the media that he passed. I connect so much with Linkin Park when i was still in high school, listening to them on the radio while screaming along when my parents aren't home. RIP Chester 🥹
Thank you so much for watching the video, much love to you all.
Depression is a disease , fuck depression , RIP Chester
Tus lagrimas son mis lagrimas
I don't watch this one much anymore, it hits too hard and hurts too much.
here is a verry verry good band cover HYBRID THEORY - ONE MORE LIGHT LIVE @ ALTICE ARENA 2023
the live version soon after chris cornell had died is even more heartbreaking. chester cracks emotionally at the end, like hes about to cry.
Hugs to every Linkin Park Fan. we still miss Chester to this day.
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you
Hug back from me bro frfr.
thank you bro
I'm still crying
I am a 46 year old man and this song gets me every time.
I grow up with Linkin park
We all loved Chester and it still wasn’t enough to save him.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
You and I both, brother. From when they were still HYBRID THEORY all the way up until we lost him. It will always destroy me that he didnt see any other way.
depression and all alike are worse then any nightmare i ever had. sometimes you think you got it under control just to get a punch out of nowhere and i agree this song gets me every time but it also gives me the power to move on and fight again
Every. Single. Time. 😥Their later catalog was such a cry for help and we all saw it and couldn't stop the demons from winning.
I am 17 and love lp forever
Chester said "the worst person for him to be left alone with, was himself." Him losing his battle to the "demons" that haunted him throughout his life is still hard.
Chris Cornell’s passing just made it worse for him rip Both Great Vocalists
I think that’s true for so many of us with depression. Like David Foster Wallace says, “The mind is a terrible master.”
Chris and Chester was working on a project just like avichi.... It's preety fucked up world we live in ..
He was murdered
Yeah Im not convinced it was suicide.
"Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there "
This line get's me every damn time. It is a sentence to live by.
He's not dead. He's in our hearts where he'll live on for eternity 💝
The battle with mental illnesses also resonates with this one.
Just because other people can't see the dark holes in our souls when they look at the happy/normal mask we provide to the world doesn't mean the hurt and struggles aren't inside those who suffer.
It has a deeper meaning, just like "Heavy".
All of that emotion is such an honest response. The sadness I think, comes from the message in the chorus, that he cares for the lives of others but was unable to afford himself that love. I've lost far too many people in this manner, have survived it myself and this hits so close to home. Glad you took the time to react to this one. Sorry for the ramble.
I just want to say that,while I don't know what Chester was going through, people with severe depression dont necessarily hate themselves (though it is often the case), sometimes its simply a matter of pain and mental anguish, or loss of meaning and enjoyment. RIP Chester, I cried again watching this. He was a truly special person as well as a once-in-a-lifetime musician.
We didn't deserve this beautiful Angel he was taken from us way to early 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yes I know, my point was simply that he didn't afford himself the same care that he freely gave to others.@@MaddSpazz2000
Couple of things I take issue with in your comment:
1) you have ZERO reason to apologise for ANYTHING beyond your control, so never beat yourself up over losing someone in such a manner. I'm sure you did all you could to talk them down.
2) You apologised for rambling when you didn't ramble. You were concise, succint, and got the message you wanted to get out there, out there. It's an authentic heartfelt message, and no matter how many inner demons you fought before typing it into words, you're a stronger, better person for overcoming them.
It's because Chest wasn't able to manage his own decision making process. Depression is our avatar telling us that it's hard being the character we want to play.
Bit of random trivia but in the game Runescape 3 there's a Wisp called Chester, and when you examine it it says "It flickers, flickers..." which I thought was really lovely
Many Jagex devs grew up listening to Linkin park, so losing him hurt them like the rest of us. it is a small but wonderful memorial
There's a Runescape 3? Thought it was just Old school/Classic and Modern
@@RVFFICA modern runscape is called Runescape 3
this is so precious
@@RVFFICA classic of 2001 was rs 1, 07/oldschool was rs2, evolution of combat in 2013 was the start of what is considered rs3
:)
It's almost 7 years since and I still can't listen to this song without crying. Will it ever get easier???
Same 😭🥺
It wont . But you will get stronger :)
It will not.
I wish it does cause I ask that same question especially when you can connect it to your own personal story. I lost my wife so for me I can never hear this song and not get something in my eye
I wish I could say it gets easier, but it doesn’t. But that’s ok, it’s good to let it all out to this song. It’s raw beautiful emotion.
It's such a bizarre, modern human experience missing someone you've never met. He ended his life on my 30th birthday and it will forever be the most impactful celebrity death on me. Like many others here, Linkin Park help me through some hard times growing up. They also helped highlight some good times... Thanks for this heartfelt reaction.
Just Like with His Lyrics He so often Hit what one was Feeling so precisly . . . I felt Seen by someone I never Met and WHO Had No Idea I even exist, when many I Talk too do Not seam to hear a Word I say
I’m pretty sure every linkin park fan cries when listening this song for the first time, that’s why when Lost came out and listen to Chester voice once again was such a beautiful experience
I cry whenever I hear the song. Sometimes it varies on how quickly it fucks me up but every time I hear this song it fucks me up regardless... It never fails
The first time I heard Lost...and just for those brief moments...its like we had him back again...hell of a day that was.
I cry like little baby whenever I hear that song. I grew up with Linkin Park and death of Chester Bennington is something I will never deal with..
Just thinking about this song is making me tear up right now...not even hit play on this video yet!
The first time? Every time lol.
The Jimmy Kimmel show they did, where they played this song, dedicated to Chris Cornell, was even more emotional than the official video.
Yeah I've seen that video twice and can't do it again. Seeing how much pain he's in and knowing it was only 2 months before he died is just... pfff... It sucks. Incredible performance but it's brutal to experience knowing what we know now.
When he belts out the scream and when he forgets the lines because he's breaking down is rough. Such a genuine moment.
Oh, I can’t even talk about Chris C.
The scream 😭
Yeh that show is so good but hard to watch
One man can save millions, But millions cannot save one man. - Chester Bennington
As i heared the news... i cried. Chester was the Leadsinger of the most loved band of my youth and it broke me ... i always wanted to see Linkin Park live ...
Now im 28 years and i still cry over the loss ... R.I.P. Chester always missing you
Same..
Same here. Was the first thing I heard when I woke up that day. Was in tears almost the whole day even at work.
Linkin Park connected with me and my daughter. She had bought us tickets to see them in Charlotte NC. This CD came with the tickets. We were 3 weeks away from seeing them live when we lost him. Still gets me today.
The part that always cracks me is that fading "I do" during the guitar melody after the second chorus and at the same time the short clips that rush through at a very hugh speed. It seems like Chester sees his life and fovorite moments flashing before his eyes in his last moments while he is slowly fading away like the "I do".
The live version of that part will mess you up even more. Not sure if you've seen it or not, but live on jimmy Kemmel.. He practically breaks down after that part.
@@Ranganation the same scream is in the official song, just mixed very muffled so it seems to be an ambient synth rather than Chesters scream
during the live concert in UK, I think around June 2017, he screams that part super loud, while standing in the crowd. It's skin-tingling chilling but also heart-racingly awesome!
thank you for not shying away because of some tears.
been 7 years, and i still can not lissten to this song without some tears.
anyone els in 2024 ?
Of course we are!
And still miss chester,too💔
The second verse with the „in the kitchen one more chair than you need“ gets me everytime…
Sory bro i dont really get what it meant because im not that good in english can u plz explain it to me plz
@@xix9182what he’s saying is that if someone dies who you lived with you will have one more chair than you need because that’s probably the chair that that person was sitting on every time
Excellent explanation. I feel like there's a lot of nuance too, but you did a great job.
it can also signify that we can have "one more chair" for a person to sit beside us and talk. U can say its a theme of a home where u can have one more chair for ur son or ur loved one to sit and speak his/her heart out
Chester was very open about his struggles with Depression and he wrote so many songs about it. He connected with people on a very personal level and he loved doing that, you can see it in all of his fan contact videos. But he's also the perfect example of how being larger than life and such a cool dude wasn't enough. How being so loved by everyone didn't even matter...because in his own mind, he never deserved any of it. What a crazy thing depression is...get help if you feel like that.
"She thinks, I'm iron man that I don't feel pain
WelI, I don't understand why joy must be feigned
I'm so fortunate yet filled with self hate
But the mirror shows me an ingrate"
Peter Steele
You aren't alone. You aren't the only one crying right now. It's an amazing video, and I commend you for doing your reaction live. It's a really tough song to listen too, especially knowing what he went through. Much admiration for you, and RIP Chester and Chris...
I did the same thing that Chester did I also hung myself for him he was successful for me I chickened out I still do it but I need someone to help me
It always makes me mad when people say that committing sv!cide is selfish. It completely diminishes what person was going thru and those of us who struggle with it every single day. I'm glad they've been releasing previously unheard Linkin Park songs like "Lost". It keeps his memory and legacy alive while still doing what Chester always advocated for: good mental health and loving yourself for who you are.
On another note, Mike Shinoda just released a track that I think you'll really like.
RIP Chester, we miss you.❤❤
I agree. My boss committed suicide and a super religious coworker said how coward he was and he's in hell. I can't pretend to know the pain these people are in and I don't see it as being selfish or a coward at all
@@jessmcafee2557 we all have our own demons we have to battle with on a daily basis. Unfortunately there are those of us who lose those battles.😔
agreed but i can never explain it to people in words that they'll understand
@ASLLover666 unfortunately anxiety and depression is hard to explain unless the person is going thru it themselves. Everyone deals with it differently as well so it's not some same blanket of symptoms that we all have.
@@briansgamesandanime very true. i just wish everyone understood
I was at the last live show he performed with Linkin Park. Which was exactly two weeks before he passed away.
I have had his portrait tattooed on me as tribute and in memory to him.
I've been shocked by celebrity/musician/actor deaths before and since. But I've always been able to carry on my day. Except with Chester. It left me lost for words and I couldn't stop thinking about it and him.
Never got to see them live :(
I feel the same way about his death and i cannot find an explanation for it.... their songs have a second meaning to me since his death..... they once helped me through my tough days but now they remind me of his scarred soul every time i hear them.
I never knew this song...... but it hit very hard....
I was there too. Birmingham. It was my dream to see Linkin Park
Such a sweet and innocent beautiful reaction. I am 55 and I have shed tears over this song numerous times.
It hits hard and deep. Well done for getting through this. And never be ashamed of crying......💔💔💔
Love the reaction ! It's so pure, honest and powerful..
This song hits harder than ever .. it was already a beautiful/sad/hard song when the album came... and after 20th of July it was waaay harder. The video is a LOVE letter to the band, to Chester and to us, the fans to pay tribute
Everytime I see him hugging the girl I burst out in tears. I've never been to a Linkin Park concert it is probably one of my biggest regrets in my whole life. I just know Chester rests in piece now and I only wish to see him when I am gone, too. Beautiful reaction.
His nearly silent scream of I do just hits the deepest part of the soul. So absolutely gut wrenching
It's ok to cry, we all are. This song hits so hard. He is missed 😢
The irony of him helping so many people through their darkest moments, caring so much about others, and then,..
It's just painful, but also so wonderful. And it reminds me to those other words of his:
"When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest"
Well, there are so many reasons for him to be missed.
He saved millions of people but millions of people can't save him! RIP legend!
It breaks me when Chester comes out of the locker, jumping with a crazy face. He was so happy and making others feel the same. LP forever in my heart. Thanks for the video! (Saludos desde Argentina!).
Thank for uploading such a vulnerable reaction. This is a beautiful song, he was a beautiful man and his loss is still felt heavily by us all to this day and your reaction encapsulates this perfectly. Sending you a big ol' hug!
I commend you for getting thru such a really emotional song. All fans of Linkin Park cried watching and listening to this. Chester had such an impact on my mental health journey thru his lyrics and songwriting. RIP CHESTER!
Thank you for this heartfelt, emotional reaction Rachael.
Chester and LP were perfectly able to articulate how it feels to be the person who has been through some terrible things in life but tries to spend all their time supporting everyone they love. It's hard for people to see through that positive exterior to the torment inside and the fact that for many people, not hurting and disappointing those people that they love is the only thing keeping them around. Sometimes it's important for people to hear that their life has meaning beyond just that.
Its a rough one for sure. But thank you for your reaction. It is always a light to our days. *hugs*
“Um…..Dang……Um……..Uh [deep sigh]” Not only was that the most perfect way to respond, it was THE ONLY WAY. Love the channel!!!
Chester is an example that no how famous and rich you are, suicidal thoughts can effect anyone. Please know that you are never alone in anything. There are people that know what you are dealing with and can help you heal. The most difficult thing is to ask for it. Rest in Peace Chester. Gone, but never forgotten.
What I find hard is to see him with such a big smile on his face in the band footage. It almost hurts to see him seem so happy, knowing how he left this world. And I once tried to play this song for someone, because I knew how beautiful it was. But they couldn’t listen to it. They lost a sibling to cancer and it was too much.
I agree with you but that is all an act when it comes to Chester and others suffering through severe depression I do the same thing with my depression I hide it well because nobody gives a damn about me or anybody else in my situation
Yes, I agree, that’s why I used the word seem. He smiled and appeared to be happy, but deep down that clearly wasn’t the case. And I’m sorry you feel that way, and unfortunately I can relate. Sometimes it seems like nobody ultimately cares, not even people who are paid to help those in that situation. I’ve had the feeling that most people out there only care so much, and in the end it’s not enough.
One of my absolute favorites. This sits among the very few that I call my anchor songs, a list of go-tos that help keep me alive. It reminds me that if I'm going to hold life as something precious, then that must also include my own. RIP Chester. I do.
Yes, I cry every time too. Yet another reason why I love you. Respect and love... 🫂
This video is still a tough one for me to watch. Chester's death affected me like crazy. We all miss him.
RIP Chester.
I was crying with you... thanks for sharing, for the heartfelt and just... true reaction video. Much love :)
For us long time lp fans, this song and the mv particularly hits really hard. We've been fans for so long we've developed a personal connection with Chester even though we've never met him in person ever. So when he died it felt like a piece of me died.
Powerful reaction. This is one of the most heartwarming songs in their catalog. It hits so much harder nowadays. We lost a great one in Chester. Wishing your channel continued success.
The first time I've heard the Song back then in May'17 it was one of the best ballades I've heard so far. It was so touching my soul and it still does and every time when it comes to the line "in the kitchen, one more chair, than you need..." 😔it still hurts inside of me, especially when you've lost someone....no matter how long it's been. Those Persons you won't forget... Long story short, it's still my fav "quiet" Linkin Park Song after "My December".
Thanks for you reaction!
Never a moment this video doesn't get me in tears. I am 37 and Linkin Park was such a huge part of my upbringing. Coming home from school listening to their albums every day. We lost a true light in this world. He lives on through his music and we miss him everyday. Thanks for sharing this honest reaction.
You should react to the live version of this song which was tribute to Chester’s friend Chris Cornell after his passing. There’s one “I do” towards the end of that song which is greater than a lot of today’s singer’s whole career ! ❤
also listen to Mike Shinoda performing it live
Really appreciate your honest heartfelt reaction. I love this song for so many reasons and hits me emotionally every single time. Thank you for sharing and much love.
To my dad in heaven: Hey dad, I miss you more then ever. You left us in August of 2019 and four years later I miss you more then ever. You were not the ideal father figure yet you knew it and still acknowledged the mistakes of not being there and to this day I respect that. I never held any remorse against you because you were still my dad and it shook me to my core when you left us. You were so much more important to us kids than you could imagine. I will never judge your decisions in the life you lived and choices you made because nobody is perfect. I will never forget you Dad and just know I love you beyond what any words can describe 🖤🙏🏼
You are such an incredibly brave person to allow yourself to be so openly vulnerable to songs like this for others to see and thank you for doing so. I spend my work days helping people work on their health goals including physical and mental health but also at times struggle with my own and often times use some downtime watching some of these reaction videos because I feel such a deep conection to music. Chester and the LP music is so amazing and he is missed so much.
Hadnt heard this before, so great but yet so sad.
Thank you, your videos are great🏴
thanks for reacting to this! I knew it would cause a bit of anguish knowing the context of Chester. It is a spectacular message.
At 4:49, the video shows Chester cuddling with the children. That's my country, Thailand. At that time the southern part of Thailand was destroyed by the tsunami in 2004. People's homes were destroyed along with the tsunami and many people died a lot When Chester found out about this Chester and his friends immediately rushed to help. Chester and his friends helped donate and also opened for donations to collect money to build a new house and place for the children and many other victims
Chester also used his own money to buy new books for the children because of the books the children had. All that were kept in the school were destroyed.
In this disaster, some children not only lost their homes, but the poor children also lost all of their parents, which made those children orphans. But since then, this problem has been resolved. The children and People are healed.
This is why I love Chester and Linkin Park so much and I will never forget it.❤
:(
The tears have just been rolling down my cheeks throughout your video. This song gets me every time with its message and what happened to Chester. I, too, have struggled a lot through some parts of my life and I've been thinking about letting go.. But I've been too scared of it at the same time, scared of the pain I'd be causing not only possibly to myself but also those who care about me. Music, especially songs from Linkin Park have played a major role in pushing me forward. That is something I'll be forever grateful for.
Thank you for your honest, heartfelt reaction.
Not just a beautiful song and video but a beautiful and powerful reaction too, which powerfully illustrates that you, unlike so many others who make these videos, react genuinely from the heart. Take good care of yourself.
This song is powerful. And I love that you don't hold back on your reactions. Keeping them honest can be hard. And the blubbering ugly cry can be embarassing, so you get the proud papa nod for not shying away from that. Now. If you thought THIS video was powerful, the live version they did in honor of Chris Cornell on Jimmy Kimmel....that was soul shattering. I do recommend checking it out, but, maybe not for a reaction. Unless you wanna put yourself torn to shreds on here again.
I love your honest reaction to this video!! It made me sad as well, to see how much Chester loved his fans and was so passionate about his music, yet succumb to the demons of depression and end his life that was filled with love for people but in his depression felt he didn't deserve to have, which makes it more sad. Again, thank you for your beautiful and honest reaction to this video. R.I.P. Chester Bennington!! 😪💔 I miss you and your contribution to the music industry!! May your legacy be not only in your music, but also by all the lives you touched by your kindness and by your love for your fans!
I've probably seen like 50 of your videos over the years. Not sure why I hadn't subscribed yet, but I did just now. This song kills me too for my own personal reasons. It's gut wrenching every time.
Excellent reaction. Anyone that can sit in front of a camera for our entertainment and then take it a step further by being so vulnerable deserves all the likes and subscribers
❤ what a beautiful song! what the video also shows is, that you cannot see depression on the outside.🙁 so many people fights with there depression, can be funny on the outside, but so sad on the inside. if you are fighting ,with depression please talk to someone! and to all the other people, take care of your love ones, and see the signs. greetings from germany
You should really watch the crawling/one more lite live performance! Watch the crowd interaction!
Ray, your reaction was beautiful and touching with how raw it was. Thank you for being strong enough to share it. Much love
Just shared a tear with you. Greatness moves us still even from the clouds. Thanks for honest and authentic reaction :)
RIP Chester :( All LP song hit rly hard right now ....
Thank you for sharing your reaction/watch through of 'One More Light' .. Linkin Park means alot to me. Their music, their message, has had a profound effect on me for many years, even before Chester's passing. At a very difficult time in my life, their music and message saved my life. This song in particular effected my out look on life, and the importance of all life, every light. So thank you for your heartfelt and honest reaction. And may your light continue to shine brightly ❤
Rachael! I love your naturalness and emotionality to analyze and react to the songs, and especially in this one, since starting the video you made me remember everything I felt back in 2017 when all this happened... the world should pay more attention to mental well-being, depression is often a silent state that eats away at you inside day by day, and there comes a point where it is very difficult to get out... a hug, and thank you very much for sharing your videos with us!
watching that video brings a tear to my eye every time, and then seeing your response really made it hard. I just wanted to give u a hug. Your response was so honest and raw.
One of my favorite memories of Linkin Park was when I saw them in concert after dropping Meteora. He did a Parkour Backflip off of a speaker. He had so much energy. It was an amazing concert. He is so missed. Also, when I think of this song I think of the memorial concert and every fan singing the song without anyone on the stage.
Thank you for sharing your emotions and letting us experience th8s with you. You have a beautiful heart.
Your reactions are so pure, raw emotion and it's amazing to see! tbh i never heard this song till this reaction havent been in touch with music much the last 10 years but this one got me good...
I had a friend hang himself last december, come to find out it was because of the years of abuse he experienced from his wife that we didnt really know he kept it hush hush and I wish he didnt... Such a kind man always helping people, putting others first and always full of life and happiness just like Chester but fighting some horrible demons on the inside. Life can be beautiful but it can be so cruel sometimes 😭
Thank you for keeping this video up. So many of us care so deeply about our online persona and not showing a real side and this made me tear up. I grew up listening to linkin park. I still listen to them when I need to shut the world out and just breathe and reset. It’s not just about Chester it’s about anyone in your life that meant something and was taken away/not there anymore. People mean something regardless of what anyone/organization says they do.
This is by far the best reaction vid I have ever seen.your message was beautiful "for lack of a better word"
The progression of Chester and the band was so amazing to watch, I really thought when they came out with this he was finally beginning to heal, and to lose this light was devastating. We have to remind people of the message... thanks for being real.
I just recently started watching reactors. To be honest, I just needed to hear others speak on linkin Park and to read comments on this amazing band and to also shed a few tears.. 🙏Chester, you are truly missed and loved by millions...
Pure and unique reaction!!! Thanks so much for these moment!!!
Beautiful reaction. Genuine. Heartfelt. Don't ever cover that up or try to be 'cool' and suppress it. LOVED this reaction over most I've seen. Keep up the good work!
Respect Ray. Your empathy was on full display. This song/ video crushes me every time.
First time on your channel and I land on this video...🧐🤓🥺
Thank you for being so authentic, compassionate and loving about the message this video contains...🥰😇🙏
You just got yourself another follower because of who you are!
❤
Keep on spreading love!
Cheers
😊
I appreciate your very real and visceral reaction. It was beautiful to watch. Thanks for the real emotion.
"Listening to 'One More Light' by Linkin Park always hits me right in the feels. 🎶💔 It's not just a song; it's a journey through emotions, memories, and moments that feel so vivid yet so distant at the same time.
I remember the first time I heard it, tears streamed down my face as I found solace in Chester's voice. It was as if he understood the pain I couldn't put into words. Each note felt like a comforting embrace, reminding me that it's okay not to be okay.
But the most profound experience I had with this song was when I lost someone dear to me. As I listened to it on repeat, each lyric became a lifeline, pulling me through the darkest days of grief. The raw honesty in Chester's voice echoed the emotions I couldn't express, and somehow, it made the burden a little lighter.
'Who cares if one more light goes out? Well, I do.' These words resonate with me on a soul-deep level. They remind me of the importance of every life, every soul, and every light in this world. It's a reminder to cherish those we love and hold them close, because you never know when one more light might flicker and fade away.
Thank you, Linkin Park, for this masterpiece that's not just a song, but a beacon of hope and understanding for so many of us. Chester may be gone, but his light continues to shine through his music, touching hearts and souls around the world. 🕯💖"
even chatgpt knows....
Beautiful tribute to a once in a lifetime artist and band. You're so genuine and sweet. It was a tremendous loss and your video is a gift to the band and their fans. ❤
Linkin Park were so important to me growing up. They came out when I was just a young teen. And they, along with another band, probably saved my life back then. I only got to see them once live, but it was a special moment. It was Download Festival 2014 and they played ‘Hybrid Theory’ start to finish - I was there as a man in his late-20’s with one of my best friends who I went through those rough teenage years with. I’m glad I took that chance, because only a few years later Chester was gone 😢 That devastated me because I always found Chester, and his struggles, so relatable (just like thousands of others worldwide). He’s a huge miss.
Everyone lost his idol, but Mike lost his own brother and a part of his soul, we miss you chazzz🥲
i cried along with you. i feel like i really needed it though, remembering some of my friends i lost along the way. thank you very much
Chester ✨
Sings like an angel
Screams like a demon
Rip king 🕊️
The song hits a spot we can all relate with, we all have had a light or lights go out in our lives.
This was well done.
By your reaction it's easy to tell how in touch with yourself you are.
Thanks young lady
thank you for reacting to this , i have been a die hard fan of Linkin park and M Shinoda since i was a kid and first heard the debut of hybrid theory album they made that was golden . i had a very hard time with His death because when a Hero of so many thats done so much through his music and his out reaches and just being so awesome and humble even though he went through his addictions and struggles he made music for those of us who needed to bang our heads to , that gave us something to feel and relate to when everything felt gray , they brought color into my life . when i saw your reaction i understood . the word speechless came to mind . i have listened to their last album countless times and still shed tears every time this song comes on . of course i didnt know him personally . there is just some kind of way we live vicariously through others .. and what better way to connect than through music . i feel i can speak for others when i say just how meaningful Chester and mike and the whole band was and still is to so many of us . he will live on through our hearts and our playlists forever . "I'm strong on the outside, not all the way through. I've never been perfect, but neither have you" - Chester Bennington . may he rest in peace
YOUR REACTION IS SO GENUINE AND HONEST❤
The raw emotion in your reaction mirrors the raw emotion that Chester sang with in so many songs that we all treasure. He was truly 1 of 1, irreplaceable.
I'm glad to see people like you are still listening my most favorite band LP. Your emotion affects mine too. I'm really sad I will never see LP concert again.
Such a raw reaction. I love how you feel Chester even in his passing the same as I do. He was speaking out when noone could hear him. We have to be better for all the people in out lives to be the light jn the darkness.
I saw a lot of your reactions, but this here, was really hard!😢
This Song + video hit's me hard and makes me cry, since 2017😢
All the people will never forget Chester and his beautiful voice!
This reaction here was brilliant! Thank you!🙂
Crying along with you the whole time. He was a real hero. He fought as long as he could for all of us. To keep giving us these beautiful pieces of hope.
Ray...you have to know that this was the most meaningful and beautiful reaction that you have ever done
Your reaction made wanna give you a hugh . so her's a hug 🫂 I am certain that for every tear you shed puts a smile on his face. we all miss him. with best wishes to you from Monterrey Mexico.
Amen to that, I lost a friend a few years ago, just fell in love with this song, it reminds me so much of my mate, I love Linkin park since Hybrid , seen them a few times, I miss Chester and Chris two of the best voices. it goes to show that who we all think as celebrities have problems just as much as we do.
Between this song and you this brought me to tears such a genuine reaction
. Everytime I hear this song it moves me, but watching your reaction really shook me. As other have mentioned the honesty and emotion you showed was tough to watch, it made me wish I was there to give you a hug and comfort you (I hope you had someone, or a cat, to do so) Actually I can say it always moves me (having watched your video a few times). I think its a testament to song's message.
Very touching and beautiful reaction. This old man cried right along with you.
Thank you for your honest reaction. This song is so emotional...it gets me every time...I am having often tears in my eyes, when hearing this outstanding piece of music
Such an honest and vulnerable reaction. Thank you.
I cried when i heard on the media that he passed. I connect so much with Linkin Park when i was still in high school, listening to them on the radio while screaming along when my parents aren't home. RIP Chester 🥹
I love your passion, really enjoyed your reaction, i feel you. we miss chester. Keep going!
