    So here is the backstory. Mike Shinoda, founder (and resident rapper) of the band wrote this song for a member of Linkin Park's sound team dying from cancer, and this would end up being the title track for their (at the time) most recent album "One More Light". Chester Bennington, who battled depression and suicidal thoughts his entire life, was the lead vocalist of Linkin Park. When Chris Cornell, his best friend and lead vocalist of Soundgarden, committed suicide, Chester sung this song in dedication to him while on tour for One More Light. Not too long after, Chester committed suicide himself. So in essence, it has become a tribute to 3 people. The voice you hear singing the song is indeed Chester. The music video was made as a tribute to him and released post mortem, as the final Linkin Park music video featuring the voice of Chester until the band later released unreleased songs and demos from the past. The logo you see at the end was the logo they introduced in 2017, featuring the typical Linkin Park lettering within a hexagon, with each side representing a member of the band. But they removed the upper left side for this video, representing the fact that Chester was gone.

    Okay so backstory: this song was written for a friend of the band who died of cancer, in the middle of writing chester bennington (lead singer)’s good friend committed suicide. Then the next year chester committed suicide on that friend’s birthday (chris cornel, another musician)

    Please don't feel bad for not knowing anything about them, that's absolutely okay!
    Linkin Park is a band that's really emotionally importat to a lot of people. They have always made lyrics that many people could really relate to, and lead singer Chester Bennington had an incredibly emotionally authentic and expressive voice. For many people, listening to Linkin Park really felt like you had someone with you who understood you.
    Chester passed after this song was made, but the band dedicated the music video to him. He's the one you see singing there, and who is featured heavily in all the video they used to make this.
    Linkin Park have made both heavier and softer music, in many different genres or mixes of genres; this is among their softest snd more pop songs. If you want to try something on the other end of the spectrum, I'd suggest something like "Given Up" or "Faint".
    If you want to see them live, there is a great performance of "Given Up" at Clarkston 2007, and of "Faint" at Rock am Ring 2007.
    If you would like to hear something still quite soft, but different from this, I'd suggest one of my personal favourites, which is "Waiting For The End".
    And of course, you should see if you don't recognise their megahits"In The End" and "Numb".
    Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song, hope to see you react to more Linkin Park ❤

    There's a video that shows that full performance of this song. I said goodbye to them for the longest time before singing while Mike kept playing the intro over and over on the piano. He was the only one who knew that was his last performance. He was the only one that cared.

      It honestly kinda makes me happy to be honest. When Chester died, it really spoiled their music for me for a few years. It’s just broke my heart to listen to it. So the fact there’s people that didn’t grow up worshiping those guys and is now able to appreciate it for the first time it’s just kind of comforting.
      It also speaks to the genius that was Chester Bennington. It takes talent to write a song to touch millions of people but it takes a genius to do that over and over again. and then for those songs to continue to reach people even after he died. It’s just mind blowing that a man who was so adored by millions worldwide could feel so alone.

    It is so hard to stay alive day after day, just because you know that it will make other people miserable if you disappear. For some of us, it is a daily struggle, and it can go on for years and years until the day it finally becomes too much to deal with, and then, it's just time to end it and feel the relief of letting go of all that misery and pressure to be what other people need you to be.

    Ok now the sad ending is out the way, these are the other songs of theirs that you need to react to:
    -One Step Closer
    -Papercut
    -Crawling
    -In The End
    (Ideally you should react to the whole of their first album Hybrid Theory as it’s the highest selling album of the 21st century)
    -Somewhere I Belong
    -Faint
    -Breaking The Habit
    -From The Inside
    -Faint
    -Given Up
    -Leave Out All Of The Rest
    -What I’ve Done
    -No More Sorrow
    -New Divide
    -Waiting For The End
    -Iridescent
    -The Catalyst
    -Lost In The Echo
    -Burn It Down
    -Castle Of Glass
    -Guilty All The Same
    -Until It’s Gone
    -Rebellion
    -Talking To Myself
    -Heavy (another song that Chester details his depression)
    Released After Chester’s Death:
    -She Couldn’t
    -Lost
    -Friendly Fire
    They also have a new singer now, Emily Armstrong and they have two new songs out with her with a new album coming very soon:
    -The Emptiness Machine
    -Heavy Is The Crown 🔥🤘🏻

    Been a fan of theirs since middle school, in my 30's now and Chester saved millions, myself included, but sadly we couldn't save him, i only hope he found his light, he deserved it and so much more
    One More Light always gets me teary eyed, even after all these years

  • @soundphile988
    @soundphile988 Місяць тому

    Short Headsup so you understand it: Chesters(the vocalist) friend died while writing this song, and only a year later chester went from us aswell... Chester bennigton is up till this day regarded as a one of a kind and one of the best vocalists ever due to his voice range and skill. Now obviously the band didn't release anything new for a long time after his passing, that was until 2023 where they posthumously released a song they made almost 2 decades ago. Afterwards there was silence again, until recently in 2024 when they decided, almost out of nowhere to do a Concert, streaming live on youtube(from zero livestream on their channel, if you watch it, dont skip the intro, its epic) with a new single, a new drummer and a new vocalist (emilie armstrong). They performed also some of the older songs, went on world wide tour, already released a 2nd single and soon they'll release their entire album. thats where we are now and what we are waiting for.
    Now while you mentioned its a hard rock band. Their style really varies, they did more hardrock in the earlier days, and became softer /different over time. They do evolve and really most of their songs. but i love their stuff from each era

  • @Katuln
    @Katuln Місяць тому +1

    The Song wasn't dedicated to Chester - It was for a friend who died of cancer.
    But shortly after Chester Took his own life (Depression - you will realise the pain he had if you continue with other songs)
    The Band Stopped for 7 Years - and just Announced their new female vocalist.
    Before reacting to the new Stuff (Which will get more Views) Take your time and get a wide picture of the band with Chester still in it.
    Recommendations:
    Crawling
    Numb
    In the End
    Papercut
    One step Closer
    Breaking the Habit
    Given Up
    (The Rabbit Hole can go way deeper)
    Friendly Fire & Lost are old songs but released after his death
    After a bunch of those you can try The Emptiness Machine & Heavy is the Crown with their new Lead Singer

While walking he thought about getting rid of everything and how he could do it, then he heared a melody. It was the Linkin Park concert and the song The messenger saved his live)

    Was Chester a part of this band? I've never heard anything more disrespectful in my life. Definitely not the right song to choose as your first. I hope you do a little research into who he was. The world is a lesser place without him.

    To me Linkin Park died when Chester took his own life. Im sure the new singer is a good singer but she´s not Chester and how Mike Shinoda kind screwd over Chester´s son is just wrong. Of course i listen to the old Linkin Park still.
