    Lyrics:
    Take me down to the river bend
    Take me down to the fighting end
    Wash the poison from off my skin
    Show me how to be whole again
    Fly me up on a silver wing
    Past the black where the sirens sing
    Warm me up in a nova's glow
    And drop me down to the dream below
    'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
    Hardly anything there for you to see
    For you to see
    Bring me home in a blinding dream
    Through the secrets that I have seen
    Wash the sorrow from off my skin
    And show me how to be whole again
    'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
    Hardly anything there, for you to see
    For you to see
    'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
    Hardly anything else I need to be
    'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
    Hardly anything there for you to see
    For you to see, for you to see

    Ive known this song for years and it always hit home. Saddly this is the first time hearimg it again after the loss of one of my best friends and brother from another mother. MSG Douglas Stephens was one hell of a soldier/tanker and a senior drill instructor in the Army. We lost him to his own demons on 12/22/2020. Its almost been 1 year. He left behind 3 children. #22 A Day

      Chester's loss is a clarion call to all suffering from depression and mental illness. We've had so many that it's time we open our eyes and look around to those we know; suicide is a symptom, and unfortunately the last one. We need to do what we can before someone reaches the point where their mind tells them all options are gone.

Chester had everything a family a musical career that was amazing and the depression and negative thoughts won and the world lost a great person. Military veterans are committing suicide at a record number they don't seem to be getting the help they need from the V.A

    Loved your reaction; whether people in our country agree with the government or not on where and when military should be deployed, we can never allow ourselves to lose hold of the fact that these are men and women with families and friends waiting at home and praying for their safe return. They have committed themselves to a cause they believe is right, and regardless of our opinion, we should respect their choice and honor their sacrifice. To all the Veterans in my family and those still fighting, and to all those watching - my prayers are always with you.

    Not sure if you noticed, but when the boy put on his father's hat, it showed him grown when he raised his head. He is also the man shown at the end at the little girl's house to tell her that her father or mother had just died. I missed that the first couple of times I watched the video.

    Great song and a great reaction you have a new subscriber. If you want more emotional Linkin Park you won't go far wrong with "Numb and Lost in the Echo" the later being particularly poignant for those that have lost someone. If you want a real heartbreaking song "Monsters" by James Blunt is nearly impossible to listen to without a tissue.

    For me, my family is from Mexico. And well, one of my grandfathers, the father of my dad, he passed away from when I was 9 years old. All of my grandparents, have passed away over the years. And well, my grandfather from my dad’s side of the family, he was a soldier in the military in Mexico, and I’m not sure if he did this. But I’m pretty sure that my grandfather, probably knew, a lot of Mexican soldiers, who died fighting to both protect and serve Mexico, and I think he knew a lot of soldiers, who always went to the house of a Mexican family, and if he knew somebody, who always had to break the sad news to the son or the daughter of a soldier who died, both fighting and serving Mexico. I know that’s how it is for American families. But I’m not sure if that’s how they do it in Mexico. And if they do, well, I can’t imagine how hard it must be for a family, to lose a loved one, who is fighting to serve his country, regardless, of where those people come from, either if it’s from the United States, or from Mexico, or even, from another country in the world, I would not want to be the little boy, or that man who told the little boy, about his father, ending up dead, both serving and fighting, for the United States military.

      @@TouchyReactions I myself am battling mental illness and its difficult because I have no one to really express what I'm going through. Ive already attempted suicide before because I feel like my life is on a current loop like a scratched cd and I'm getting tired of fighting to try to look on the bright side. Honestly the only thing that's keeping me alive is my dog because I refuse to leave him alone and I'm scared for the day when his time comes that I'll lose all faith and really have nothing to live for. My own so called family is only making it worse for me. I'm just tired of losing people, I'd honestly trade places with them because they left behind so much more than what I have to lose.

      In my experiance it helped me to stay close to the person I lost. I avoided music like the plague 'cause I was scared my heart would break again, and the first time listening to al those songs I was sobbing until I thought my heart couldn't take it anymore. But over time my heart started to mend itself by listening to all those songs and realizing I wasn't alone. Now a year and a half later my heart still hurts and I still cry when I listen to this but with a smile on my face and with all those happy memories. So for me it really helped
