      @@willyburtz7299 that's such an insulting way to talk about the issues he went through, that only he and maybe his family knew about but they definitely permeated through all of his lyrics.
      It boggles my mind how this band was "edgy" at the time, though it was all real pain Chester was feeling and putting out there through art.
      In case it's not clear, this is just an elaborate "f' off"

    Chester went to high school with my daughter in Phx, Az.
    They were friends, the "in crowd" of the theater geeks. I have seen him perform in high school musical productions like Oklahoma. I emptied my pool one winter...and he and his high school band played for us from the bottom of my pool!!
    The kids from the theater group still stay in touch...not often...
    When Chester died, they all gathered virtually to comfort each other. My daughter posted.."If only you would have called...any one of us....like we used to do....and crawl up through the hatchway to the roof of the theater....and talk...til the sun came up..."
    RIP Chester

I think that the depth of emotion inside is what drew many to him, amplified by his voice, that Linkin Park magic. I think to survive with this, you have to learn to harness it, to realise the depth of emotion you feel is not something that everyone has, but it is a normal part - just like some people get different skills than others.

    The first time I saw them live it was at a festival. I had heard of Linkin Park, but I didn't really know much about them. I cried my eyes out the whole set. It was the raw emotion in his voice. You didn't just hear his words, you felt them to your core. He didn't just sing, he poured his heart out on stage in every single line, every performance.

    As a man, a husband, a father, a son, a brother, and a therapist whos faught deamons, wanted to give up, and saw no reason the throws of depression are unbearable at times. Finding hope is bleak and the walls close in. Chester vocalized hisvstory in real time with his fans and helped countless along the way. Tragically his fight ended in a tragic way. His messages continue to resonate and help people. Stay connected to people regardless of which side of depression you may be on. Its a brutal fight.

    I was never a big Linkin Park fan, but I appreciate their contributions and how many lives they touched. Watching this "with" you, I cried so much. Just seeing all of the love being offered to him from his fans, and knowing that it wasn't enough to keep him around was so impactful and profound...This opened up a new respect for Chester within me.

    I’ve never heard of the song; the simplicity of his words have such universal effects on everyone at this concert, and I imagine those watching this performance. The connection with this man was made, well before knowing his pain led to a tragic end.
    This is now my favorite reaction from Bethany. The feelings she just shared, allowing her to be vulnerable to all that watch this.
    Her humanity and kindness are on full display, it felt like she was feeling all the pain this song evokes. My intuition says she’s an empath, which is a overly used word for those that feel the pain in the world, yet have a very positive effect on those around them.

    What strikes me about seeing this again is that despite the depth and connection with the audience and how much he cared for people the demons he faced were so persistent. You can feel the pervasive loneliness even in a crowd of people. It leaves me feeling like there aren't answers that help or make sense for some of us. I will always remember Chester.

    I've heard this song countless times, but never this Live version. Very touching, I was nearly brought to tears myself. This is how it should be done, a performer opening themselves and singing from the soul, the fans all singing in unison, the world is so right, so perfect, if only for those fleeting moments. TO be honest, am very grateful I heard it this way today. I will always remember you showed it to me. No matter what anyone else thinks, thats important to me. My Thanks to You, Miss Bethany Hickman

    I had never heard or seen this rendition of the song. I don't think I could listen to this again knowing how much pain he was in when he took his own life. Losing him a month after Chris Cornell was really too much for me to comprehend as they were favorite vocalists of the 2000's and 2010's.
    I tend not to focus too much on lyrics but this rendition makes it impossible to ignore.
