Watching As I Fall | Lyrics
Excuse me while I kiss the sky
Sing a song of sixpence / pocket full of lies
Thinking I’m OK but they’re saying otherwise
Tell me how I look but can’t look me in the eyes
Watching as I say this and then I do that
Telling them the old words but in a new rap
Then I change my mind up and make them lose track
Shit I’m inconsistent I thought you knew that
Maybe I should be more grateful
That I had to watch it all come undone
Holding so tight to the edge is painful
But I can’t ignore it I know
They’re watching as I fall / they’re staring as I go
I gave until my soul hurt / and never told them so
They’re watching as I fall / to somewhere down below
But maybe I’m just falling / to get somewhere they won’t
Excuse me while I sympathize
Singing with the fat lady tell me what’s the time
You know what it is not afraid to cross the line
Nothing is forever don’t be mad at the design
Ask me if I can / I say I don’t know
And honestly I buy that I can sound cold
Still upset from shit that’s 15 years old
I don’t know what it takes to make me let go
Maybe I should be more grateful
That I had to watch it all come undone
Holding so tight to the edge is painful
But I can’t ignore it I know
They’re watching as I fall / they’re staring as I go
I gave until my soul hurt / and never told them so
They’re watching as I fall / to somewhere down below
But maybe I’m just falling / to get somewhere they won’t - Фільми й анімація

And this, kids, is why Shinoda is a genius.
A legend of our generation.
Ikr!
A living legend!
@zwieR.Z. and so are you! You and Mike making a song together is my wet dream
We wouldn't be here if we didn't already know ^w^
"Nothing is forever don't be mad at the design."
I get chills down my spine thinking about this line.
and you managed to rhyme it haha
There's just so much to think about that :(
And you even made it rhyme. Without even trying.
I get chills too,Soul Animation...I think when Mike wrote that,he was expelling his anger at the ignorance that some people have when trying to give him advice on how to feel better,kinda like when we lose someone close to us,we are often told "it couldn't be helped",or,"life goes on",and that's the type of shit you don't need to hear when you're grieving.Everybody giving their two cents when they aren't the ones not having a clue on how to move on,or,feeling the deep pain.
SouL Animation I never knew you were a fan of LP and Mike Shinoda
This is why we fuckin love Mike. He’s s lyrical genius. This is so raw and powerful. I can just imagine how proud Chester would be of this EP. #MakeChesterProud
Mari S I wish Chester was here to see Mike put out his ep. But Chester's spirit is always with us. I'm still so extremely depressed about Chester's passing. #fuckdepression #MakeChesterProud
Missy Zenzillo me too, this really hurt. It feels like the wind got knocked out of me and I haven’t really gotten it back. But I know Chester’s proud af of Mike. He always was, he would’ve supported Mike through anything and everything. I’m just glad he’s able to share it with us.
Mari S I agree and Chester's spirit is with us watching us as him army of Linkin Park soldiers.
Missy Zenzillo that’s right. One you’re a soldier, you’re a soldier for life. And we’ve got one hell of a protector.
Mari S I feel the same way about u. Thank u. Even though I feel suicidal I still try to keep going for Chester and Linkin Park and we do have one hell of a protector
Its so hard hearing Mike say 'it's been four months since Chester passed away,' just so heartbreaking.
Maybe something is wrong with UA-cam algorithm
No
And now it’s been almost 5 years…it’s incredible, I still can’t believe it 💔
@BasketCase420 pain
I know its not the same but when I lost my husband its was so devastating he was my best friend alcohol was the cause of his demise , a loss that doesn't have to be hurts so much .
It's clear Mike is pouring his whole soul into these songs. This album is gonna be something special
It is
Special Olympics.....sorry i couldnt resist....
It really did end up being special.
@@RivLoveshine i find it a little bittersweet....
Excuse me, while I kiss this guy
I don't know if it's only me but I can hear the sections where Chester would have screamed and how amazing it would have sounded. I absolutely love all the art that Mike is putting out. Love all around...
Yeah me too. I hear Chester in the song even when he’s not in it. Chester would be so proud and I’m glad mike is still making music and I can’t wait see what else LP has in store. This is awesome work and I know that there is more greatness that is to come from mike and the other members of LP.
That's what hurts the most about this. The fact that all we can do now is just imagine Chester's aggressive melodic talents integrated in these newer songs with Mike. Those guys were like the dynamic duo that glued together the whole band. Now i'm getting emotional just thinking about.
It's hard to watch. My heart's aching. Mike without Chester. So unfair, so wrong. God help you Mike. We love you❤
I know it's hard. But lives go on. Let's make Chester proud.
And those are the words i repeat over and over agin...
Not to sound selfish but i wouldnt want that to happen,i mean dont get me wrong its his project and it is good and all but,i think IF he is villing and able to do,he should continue with Linkin Park...They could make rock stuff and some idk vlogs or some shit,but they should rly stick to old roots if you ask me,its my opinion.
HappyLittleSkrub nah I want Fort Minor
HappyLittleSkrub your opinion is shit... i mean i dont like this music style but mike love this and he really good at it you cannot say stop doing what you love and do what i love to someone, if you dont like mike music or the new linkin park music just stick to hybrid theory and shut up
"Maybe I'm just falling to get somewhere they won't"
This. A thousand times, this.
Chester's voice on the hook. I can imagine it. I can hear him.
Fotty Seven yeah, me too 💙
Yeah, when it turned into abstract, I was feeling Chester singing
but not the same words cause
these words are only here when he's gone
cause he's gone
This could actually be done, there is a Adobe programm that genereates vocals from audio clips you feed it.
Fotty Seven yes! He is with us
same here
The ending just shows how down to earth this man living in the clouds is. His animations are so amazing.
SouL Animation : wasn't Hahn always the animation guy though?
Nope. Mike himself the animation guy
Mike you are amazing, glad you are still making music and sharing it with us. You are truly a source of inspiration for the people of the free world in the dark times that are 2017-2018.
The strongest guild on UA-cam 👌
The whole video shows he's down to earth
Such a raw and powerful set of songs, I'm sure Chester would be proud. Whatever the future holds for you and the rest of the band you guys have my full, unwavering support! #MakeChesterProud
i am with you on that one. They did so much for us all these years. i will always support them.
well said :)
Well, we do.
here here ((hugs to you mike)) kiss on head your doing good we as fans love you
we all have your back!!
Well said, they been there for us all and we will and always will be there for them like they have always been there for us ☺️

@@bhishekthakur1331 Yup!
Ur so goddamn true
Mike shinoda is the meaning of the word "genius" tbh. And I love how he uses sarcasm constantly and it's great at least ONE good singer / rapper knows how to use it properly. By sarcasm I meant especially the lyrics "Well thank you, Genius, you think it'll be a challenge? Only my life's work hangin' in the f***in' balance".
StoryLine right
The hardest part of ending is starting again...
nobody could have said it better my friend...
Raven Diana It's from Waiting for the end
RF99 I know that. And it fits so perfect
Raven Diana ❤
RF99 ❤
please don't stop making music. your tunes are our life savers. many of us are in pain too right now. and we find it hard to connect with today's music except LP.
Yes. This EP is therapeutic for me.
You see what i did there He’s carrying on with LP. He said so himself
I'm in tears.
It's hard to understand or accept.
At this moment the only thing I want it's that Joe, Phoenix, Brad, Rob and you could find peace and quietly. I'm proud of you all, and I really want to see you growing and being a successful. Independent the way you take.
Big hug.
Michael J. Fox my depression has increased drastically since Chester Bennington died. I feel his spirit with me but it sucks that my childhood is gone now that Chester died. I'm in tears everyday about it. I LOVE the songs that Mike just put on from his ep. I look up to Mike as much as I look up to Chester. *big hugs for Mike and the rest of Linkin Park*. The Linkin Park soldiers are so proud of them. I wish them nothing but the very best.
I used to listen to Hybrid Theory on my CD player every single night, crying hard. Because life is hard. I went through 8 foster homes and lost both of my parents due to cancer, it’s truly because of the songs Linkin Park made I wanted to see another day. Because when I felt no one understood me at all, all I had to do was press play on the Hybrid Theory. Thank you Linkin Park, and thank you mike for continuing the true work of LP.
😭
Im so sorry dear friend. And im proud of you for staying strong.
I hope that things are going okay for you now, I know this is 3 years after your comment. Chester and LP had such a huge impact on so many lives, and helped a lot of people through some really dark times. And now, Mike's music still has the LP feel but in his own unique delivery method.
So sad to hear :/. I have the same relation with Meteora. A medium I could process and or escape my sadness and anger. Hope you're in a better place now!
Hope all is well.
And this may seem random and out of nowhere but don't fall for the Band-Aids for a change of emotions like for an example using drugs...
What started as just snorting a Percocet with my cousin 3days after my mom died waaaay back in March 2011... Damn it's really been that long ago I don't... Sorry getting off track but my point was it started as seemingly harmless act of snorting one opioid pill in the beginning stages of my first experience of mourning turned into me shooting a combination of some street fentanyl analog and crystal meth which I've actually had to recently return to snorting because I don't have the veins left to shoot up anymore...
I guess what I mean to say to you and anyone else experiencing excruciating pain from traumatic experiences is give it your all and then some to find the actual cure or fix to your issues causing the pain or you will end up like me constantly put on a new Band-Aid multiple times a day, everyday....
The only thing my future now holds is suicide...
Take care folks...
Everyone love yourselves even when no one else does please!
3:32 - 5:53 I wish I can go there and hug Mike
u have a same feeling with me, u know.
I would just want to shower some peaceful sleep on him. Gosh. (But same.)
I hope hes doing fine, this album describes everything
I know Chester is screaming this song in heaven now and He is very proud of you.
Árpád Sármásy this comment just made me cry.
Suicide wont get you to heaven though :(
WHY! Why do you people constantly let someone tell you tales as old as time when they have no idea if that is the truth! Why would God let us burn when most people just don't seem to grasp that THEY ARE IN CONTROL OF THEIR OWN LIVES AND WHATEVER HAPPENS IS NOT GODS DOING. i REFUSE TO BELIEVE CHESTER AND CHRIS AND WHOEVER ELSE COMMITTED SUICIDE ARE BURNING CAUSE THEY TOOK THEIR OWN LIVES. YES I BELIEVE GOD GAVE US LIFE BUT UNLESS YOU MOLEST CHILDREN OR TRAFFIC SLAVES OR SOME REALLY MESSED UP THINGS... WHY THE HELL WOULD THAT BE THE END RESULT?!?!?!
I do not ever want to see someone give up and commit suicide. It hurts more then the people who do it realize but they are just hurting and need to know they matter. I fear so much the idea of burning but My grandma god rest her soul... She told me that this life is just one major test and if you pass it, you will get to go home like I will be soon... I hate the idea that we lost Chester and others have been lost to suicide..
But I can not stand when people say that God would just turn his back on them and throw them to hell if they take their own life...
I don't want to cause a debate because your opinions are yours and you can't make me change mine weather you disagree or not. We are all human. We all loved the man that was Chester... And this life. gets shorter and shorter with each passing day so why fight when we could come together and understand things like the things I have said are not bullets. I am not telling anyone NO THIS IS HOW IT IS.
I am just stating that negativity is what causes bad feelings like suicide... so why do we say that won't get them into heaven when all we can do is mourn and hope that they are in a better place. If we lose someone we truly love to suicide, isn't it a bit hypocritical to say that they are going to bad dark places when the love we have for them should be light rather than darkness?
Mike, keep expressing your emotions through music, this is the way forward. Proud of you man, we know you're not okay with it, just hang in there. We're all here for you
EliP way to assume how some one is, shut your ass up
adam parker Unbelievable
adam parker I assume, no wait I know, your a fuckboy bitch.
World with full of idiots who just cant shut their filthy mouth even when somebody's trying to spread love and care....
Mike Shinoda's UA-cam channel deserves to be an official artist channel.
he is actually an official artist now.
that comment didn't aged well.
@@Rusli1659LPSoldierBeat me to it 😂❤
This is how fucking talented Mike is... Made everything by himself, a fucking genius with an amazing heart as well, may God bless him and grant him the strength... This was emotional but amazing.
RIP Chester Bennington
Ali Durrani :(
If you fall, I'll try to pick you up right off the ground Mike, because you deserve all the goodness in this fucking beautifull world. Thank you for save me all my life.
Mike and LP saved my life after my sister passed away, they got me through the darkest, deepest depression that I had ever known. Now I cry for both my sister, for Chester and for Mike all of LP family. Mikes lyrics on the EP are so true about the grief process. Julian I hope that things are better for you now.
MIKE , please.
DON’T FALL , hold on and I hope One day all that pain could became something better , all the best man.
We love you .
Giulia LinkinParkAlways. I'm hoping nothing happens after all this grief ....mikes a strong man he can get through ...your comment deserved more than a like👏
Sandra Swanson thank you so much ❤️ we all belive in mike and the guys
Yeah Mike, your the best, and death happens and I..... Can't even imagine what you are going through but you've got this
Linkin Park was there when we were feeling down or angry.
Mike is here for comfort and to help us understand that it's okay.
We love you, Mike. It's amazing to see good art after difficult times!!
The weird part: I can actually "Hear" how it would sound if Chester sang with him, where his vocals could fit... =(
Jim Anotsu same man oh my god Chester would've killed this
I am trying to hear somewhere.. somehow Chester's voice.. It is only in my mind💔
Kotkka the old LP music will always be with us
nope submit the sad thing is he is not here anymore and we are never going to hear these amazing song sang by him💔
Kotkka that's exactly why we have to appreciate the music he's already given us💖
Good To See You Back My Hero!!!
Sagar Kapasi you are good to see him but he isn’t too good...
This man deserves grammy for sure!! Mike shinoda such an inspiration since 1998 hats off man👏🏻
A Grammy, yes. But in all honesty, that would be a bittersweet award: this song isn't about making money or getting an award... It's about grieving, and trying to heal. An award would be a constant reminder of who and what was lost, as if the memories aren't hard enough to deal with...
what happened 15 yrs ago that he's still having a hard time with?
I don't wear hats
But I bought one
Put it on
And I took it off
KittyLoves8265 he’s saying that cause that’s Linkin Park music and it upsets him cause he hears Chester’s voice(that’s what I got out of it)
Rishi Choubey he doesn’t deserve anything but respect. Grammys just show that you sold your soul
What is most amazing about this song is the complete honesty from you Mike. We have never seen you this vulnerable and "exposed". Thank you for letting us in to your pain and grief. We will always be here to support you.
Kimura my thoughts exactly
well written. i agree.
Hey Adam, I just did a cover of Mikes Place To Start, think you might dig it. Heres the video and song : ua-cam.com/video/0nXCUy9KWA0/v-deo.html
10% luck 20% skill 15% concentrated power of will 5% pleasure 50% pain and a 100% reason to remember the name !!! ✯Mike Shinoda✯
Don't forget Chester Bennington
Fort minor?
Suicide is not selfish.
It is not "taking the easy way out" and it is not cowardly.
Depression is an illness. You do not call people selfish when their illness kills them. You do not blame someone with a disease for succumbing to their disease.
Each person suffers differently.
It is not always easy to "just get help" and like any other diseases and illnesses, sometimes the treatments don't work.
Depression is real, it is debilitating, it is painful.
It's hard to explain how you could feel connected to a person that you don't even know, however his music and passion in life was always something I relate to since i was a child.
Rest in peace my childhood legend.
R.I.P, Chester.
ADIÓS CHESTER BENNIHTON 1976-2017 | LINKIN PARK
this song never fails in making me cry, damn, I think we all miss Chester. "maybe I'm just falling to get somewhere they wont" hits harder and harder everytime you hear it.
I just want mike to remember...
'we all fall down, we live somehow, we learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger'.
We're with you, Mike.
Forever.
LP = ❤️
TheSoulStirrer mike is looking like he is very dippresed and we can hear pain in his voice he is crying from inside
he needs to remembre the name
CJ aaaey 😆🔥
CJ
i surely hope everyone does that...
TheSoulStirrer you just made me tear up. But I was thinking the same thing
"The hardest part of ending is starting again", maybe the best verse in that awesome rap of Waiting for the end... You said it Mike, you wrote it... So please try to live it now, hero...
Beautiful words, so true, he needs to remember that
This is comforting to hear. Mike is continuing to use his voice and as a huge LP fan I’m glad for it.
Agreed
yes
3:14 that outro is so Living Thingish. I don't know if it was done on purpose or not. A beautiful and powerful song
Mike you are such a big inspiration to me and millions of others. Continue to create, you will find it healing and so will we. We will always support what you do and hope that 2018 brings some closure and peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
Well said, man. Well said indeed.
Linklight very well said. I couldn't have said it better. 💝
Agreed!! Music has a way of healing at such a capacity and in ways that nothing else can. So stick to it Michael! The LP fandom, as well as all of your other fans, are behind you 210%. We will follow you through this journey of coping and healing, using your music as the battering ram to barrel through our varying levels of grief until we break through to find the light again.
NEver expected seeing Linklight on the top of a Mike Shinoda music video, now that's some good shit right there
Where is my relief where is it in my life I can move on from the suicide of my best friend and my fiance leaving me I will die alone
Good vibes Mike!!! You are my hero!
Mike, dude, stay cool okay?! We love you, we would hug you everytime you want. You all are such a inspiration. Keep going my friend. It is hard for everybody. We are strong, we are LP family.
This comment gave me freaking goosebumps.
#wearelpfamily
Mike is such an awesome person. He's gone through tough times and still keeps his head up and is positive in the end. I love music like this that has such raw emotion!
He's literally a legend. I hope he always be good and happy 🖤
the end is heartbreaking. you can see the pain in his eyes..the way he didn't look directly into the camera 😥
His voice as well
I feel so bad for him
I wish I could help him feel better
:(
Mike these 3 songs are a masterpiece in raw emotional with your creativity in your words and visuals. I can't really express how these songs have made me feel. If anything closer to you... that maybe we all needed to see and hear. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I love you x
I feeling the Chester's voice in the chorus part... It's incredible, Mike! Chester's spirit continues in the lives of yours. I wish peace and love to you in this moment! Hugs and respect, from Brazil to you, brother!
I could have sworn I heard Chester singing in this track. Mike is doing a fantastic job of keeping him alive in his music.
Boa cara, concordo contigo.
Luiz Ricardo ....right. ....it s a powerful song. ...A wonderful song. ...its reminds me to the linkin park songs in the 2000's... .
timeless. .. ♡♡♡♡
Luiz Ricardo me too. I can hear him....

You can tell that he really poured his heart and soul into these songs. Some people said that they hear Chester in the song, but I honestly just think that he had the same raw emotion that Chester put into his singing. Bless you Mike.
these 3 new songs feel utterly personal and intimate. i'm crying my eyes out. you've truly outdone yourself, mike. chazzy would be proud.
Glad I am not the only one curled up in a ball of tears. Sorry , I wish we could take Mikes pain away. What we can do is support and love him and all of LP
I definitely cried as well, his second song hit me the hardest you can hear his grief and frustration. It's hurts so much cause you just wanna take away his pain
Mike Shinoda is one of the greatest lyricists of this generation, perhaps one of the greatest lyricists of all time. This is so raw and powerful and cathartic. The artwork is amazing, the music is amazing, the filming makes it feel so much more real. I have watched these videos what seems like hundreds of times, even though I know that’s not true. The immense feelings this gives me makes me want to take a break from the stresses of life and go back to my art, and I wanna thank Mike for that. Even when he’s so unapologetic and raw, he can touch so many people in the best ways. He’s such an innovator and so full of love and respect for others and I wish more people in the world were like that. Thank you so much, Mike...we love you.
Losing Chester still feels like yesterday, but please stay strong Mike, honestly, your music has gotten me through some of the WORST moments of my life, having a Father who didn't love me, a Brother who got taken at 23, dealing with Borderline Personality Disorder (which i wasn't diagnosed with until 35, i'm now 37), i've had some trials lets just keep it at that, these songs you write let me know i'm not alone, this anger these raw feelings i feel, everyone gets them also in times of extreme distress... But i will always love Linkin Park and Fort Minor as they got me through my darkest moments, and i'm still here. The world disgusts me though..... peace and love brother, sorry for being over a year late.
Chester is proud, Mike! He's smiling! Keep your head up, keep rocking
Chester was not smiling, one of the reasons he took his life! If you're Atheist that's the truth. If you believe in a life after, I suppose you could believe that. Let's say you do believe in a life after. Don't you think Chester could possibly be looking back for an answer or reason on his depression and not finding it? Could he be more depressed in his choice? What if he looked back and saw how hurt his Family, Band Mates and fans continue to be? That certainly would not make me happy, to see hurt, pain, misery, grief and heartache painted on the faces and felt in the hearts of the people that I loved and loved me. Now, I am Atheist. We all get one shot and in comparison to time and space, it's a half of a blink. Still pissed Chester ended his life. I still wish he could have been helped. I hope that anyone contemplating suicide get's help and grasps what a wonderfully weird, non purposeful gift life is.
I hope LP continues to make music. Collectively they were a brilliant band. I hope that they can still be better!
Jeremy Scott You're a piece of shit.
Jormungand yesss
I don't know how you could say that? I'm not, and you clearly disagree but a happy person in heart, body, mind and soul does not take their life. Did you even read the post? Nothing I wrote would guide you to call me a piece of shit, other than the fact that you clearly believe happy people end their life or, you believe in a life here after.
people who commite suicide go to heaven ?... then we all should just commit suicide .... so plz don't follow suicide .. even if its tooo much to bare...
So much power in this one... well done Mike. Your music helped me through so much.
Why isn't this on trending yet?
Morsus Mortui ikr.. Its sad people are missing such a great song
"Place To Start" is only trending in Germany.
Morsus Mortui because he made it independently, UA-cam doesn't like that shit.
Because UA-cam needs that space for Ellen and the Paul Brothers.. in short because UA-cam is shit now.
exactly my thought
Ok, I was some videos and people was like "nice to see Mike smile again" He talk about pos traumatic and here I am, is almost disturbing like... now I understand better what this comeback of LP means to him.
this video shooted on a phone camera looks much better than the rest of pop music vids
Agreed, shows his real amotions no staged shit.
Of course he is real in his music, no fake depression or happy shit
Shot* but I agree nonetheless
Why should anyone watch chart music while you can hear Shinoda?
I dont understand...
I have no clue about the vids of others...
I mean this vid has no twerking, nudity, t*ts or any pop music video sh*t
Oh wait, I think those are trap vids, idk...
Btw great song Mike :D
Stay strong, Mike. I'm sure that you have a ton of friends and family to talk to and vent. I can't relate to what you're going through or feeling, but I'm a quadriplegic, paralyzed from my chest, down. So, like you, friends and family and my wife and kids, keep me motivated. So we take it one day at a time and keep fighting the good fight. All the best to you and your band mates, Mike.
Am I the only one that thinks Mike created the chorus with Chesters mindset? The way it says "They're watching as I go" And "I gave until my soul hurt and never told them so". It sounds like he's getting out the words Chester couldn't. Chester gave until his soul hurt but he didn't tell anyone, he kept it well hidden. His bandmates and family + friends where watching as he was slowly dying but still they had no idea what was going on in his head. I feel Mike may be putting a piece of Chester into these songs but idk, that's just what I think. R.I.P Chester ❤
SmashiManGame I think he's putting his own feelings in this one.
I think our brain can't separate Chester and Mike chorus vocal
German Tovar I think thats because he often wrote songs for chester and Chester often sung Mike's lyrics.
Yess!! I think the same way! this song got me confused, I don´t know if he´s talking about him or about Chester. The images of alcohol and drugs in the video got me confused :/
SmashiManGame that’s how I feel about Chester.
You know when someone is being real... and that is what reflects into his music... you can feel the feelings... dive into the depths of the thoughts and feelings in the song.
Congratulations,man!You do not know how good it is to see you sketching smiles and moving on.Strength for all of LP and kisses from Brazil.We love you!!❤❤

Mike. This EP is stellar. It sounds passionate. It feels intimate. It's real. And it's necessary.
Normally I hate rap because unlike Rock, Grunge, or Metal there's no meaning behind it, nothing to take from it, and that's why I love Mikes Raps,just like with LP lyrics his raps actually have messages or are just powerful in general, I love it.
werewolf914 What, hip hops entire base is built upon lyricism and intricate ways of explaining lives and the way they live and think. Mathematics- Mos deff, Kendricks good kiid album from start to finish is amazing. Immortal technique- dance with the devil, ra the rugged man - uncommon valor, biggie - suicidal thoughts, big pun- twinz deep cover, boomerang, Eminem - if I had, beautiful. Tupac's entire being was poetry, a man that spoke to everyone. If you can't take anything from hip hop it's because you haven't looked deep enough. If anyone's ever told you it's because you don't understand it, and you took offence, it's probably true. One rock song has a fraction of the words a hip hop song has, they're talking to you in hip hop. Entire albums tell stories you would only know listening to that album. If you stay away from rap because of the radio but go to underground rock bands on UA-cam, you're not giving hip hop the chance it deserves. Listen to all of kendricks good kid mad city and pay deep attention to the words. They don't say a single line without it meaning something, most times multiple something's. One word sounds like two words which gives three meaning to the line, and an overall explosive end to a verse. Listen to Vinnie Paz God particle. You can't say you love Mike but not hip hop, that's the most disrespectful thing to ever say about a rapper, a man who loves hip hop, chose it as his voice. He's a rapper, you like rap, you haven't given it the type of listening it deserves and requires. There's a reason everyone in all genres knows hip hop and claims it as a staple in lyricism, story, and the thing that takes your mind on a journey unlike any other music. Eminems entire discography has so many refrejces and call hacks and stories that it should be considered up there with legendary story tellers. They give life to words we would never even know had strength when combined. Please give hip hop a chance, don't waste anymore life not knowing the power of some humans words and the deepness to their minds and music. Hip hop respects anyone and everyone who respects it, that's why Jay Z made an album with LP
Ava Emrick A staple in lyricsm? That's a matter of perception, which I can't say I concur. Though..rockers are more inclined to listen to Shinoda and to get into hip hop through him than they are elsewhere. And then there are some that just isn't their style and the genre do not interest them enough to venture out from Shinoda. Perhaps it's the small touch of rock at the end of the song. 2:13
Mike, Joe, Rob, Brad, dave..... We run with you.
Screaming On Edge and Chester we keep believing he will do good.
Hey Mike, I came here to tell you that your band was the first and the one that introduced me to my fav genre of music. Rock/Metal. I've follow LP since 99, with your first release, and always wanted you guys to come to my country to make a concert. But it never happened, I was hoping to go and watch you in live....since the beginning you were my fav, cause I could see the art and talent you got, and the way it was reflected in LP...you'll always have my support whatever you do. If you decide to continue, I'll see you in a live concert! Stay Strong!
Joseiry Marrero what country do you live in
my story is similar to yours...
This absolutely could have been an LP track. Chester's pain is now a part of Mike's in a way. So sad. Stay strong, Mike, and everyone else hurting.
He clearly wanted to get his pain out in some way and give a tribute to his friend. Wherever the band and/or mike go from here I can’t wait to see what they’ll bring us in music
I dont know when I listen this song I feel like Chester singing along with him and his team
Please keep it up...You are doing great...
We want more Music like this
Deb Roy Chester isn't gone, he's just a different form of energy now. Our great Universe recycles everything, and Chester's soul is far too powerful to just fade. I think the hardcore fans might even have a real badass Angel named Chester. ✌
Stfu
stormy rebel Ya.. all knows that.. but it's my imagination...I feel "He" is there all the time...I feel
what drugs are u on
Mind's Eye music
It’s coming up to 4 years now 🥺 we all staying strong
I honestly love how he defines his own style in this, BUT STILL MAKES IT SOUND LIKE LINKIN PARK classic music. Sickening awesome!
Am I the only one who hears Chester's vocals fitting perfectly for the chorus? Damn!
are u sure its chester¨s voice?
srry, im spanish , im going to use google translator wait XD
Sameee damn!
A S Jacob I could hear Chester’s angsty voice in the chorus too...
It's not Chester's voice but i can "hear" him too...
Mike Shinoda is a hero
I can't imagine that pain, just please keep doing your art and we'll keep supporting, we all own the both of you that much, we all miss him, it's been over 3 years and it still hurts heavily.
I feel like LP or Mike’s solo career (whatever happens in the future) is going to be even greater than it was in the past. Why? Because many artists through history gave us their best because of their pain, anger, sorrow or whatever it is that pushed them to create more art either through music or painting. So I have no doubt the guys are pushing themselves to be better, stronger and to inspire even more people ❤️
I don't know if LP will ever match the raw energy they had without Chester, but as long as Mike, Dave, and Brad stick around, the band is in good hands.
Lp won't die! That's my hope
I wish it never happened though. I wish Chester were here with us. and mike could still have his best friend. and Linkin park would go on! But it's a different journey now. Chester would be so proud of you Mike as we all are. But believe me Mike, time will eventually heal you. although I understand that it is so frigging hard to let go.
We are healing with you Mike. so stay strong. We ain't going anywhere. we are with you.
#makechesterproud
We grow through our struggles. The more difficult they are, the bigger the results. Going through the process can be difficult and painful, but when we watch what blossoms from it.......... O_O
Biggest bullshit I've heard today
So much heaviness in his voice at the end of the video...
Such a sincere, genuine and decent man.
Thank you Mike!
Mike you are a special kind of artist and human being. Stay strong! Your art is beautiful. You are making Chester very proud.
3 years Mike ,, I see and feel your pain as you share this . So grateful you did ..Us fans still listen and reflect on this journey..
Linkin Park did so many concerts for charity. And then over the years, their songs tend to have meanings that promote peace. No wonder he got stress even after everything that they have done, racism and chaos still exist.
Bim True
We love your strength Mike. Your music is life-giving.
We are with you forever and one day more ✨
Thank you for this. For the sincerity. For sharing it. You're brave man and you deserve respect! We stand by you, always.
Keep going Mike you got a whole generation coming in that needs to hear your words
Both Chester and Mike are legends that we were all grateful to see work together. Two incredible forces we would have never imagined. Rest in peace Chester. His legacy will never be forgotten but a part of linkin park will always live on through mike. God bless you mike. The passing away of anyone is never easy and we might not totally feel your pain but we understand and you will always have us fans stand beside you through this journey into the next chapter of life by your design
EPIC!
Nie wiedziałam, że słuchasz LP
Jan Zbedny Siemanko! 😃
EndyCollecter No a co nie?
You're so authentic and down to earth, Mike, beneath all that talent and leadership skills. I miss Chester and LP, but we still have YOU! If you're reading this, please keep creating great music as you always have. We love you, bro!
ATOMO znxjduud
1000% AGREE!!!
This is better than I thought! he really was the core element of Linkin Park.
LP lost a voice but thanks God, they has a brain of band.They has Mike. And I don't care which music LP would perform, I'll support LP anyway.
Klochko Vov well said dude!
exactly 😊👍
IMO Lp didn't just lost a voice, because as Mike and Brad are the brain and Joe, Dave, Rob are the heart, Chester was the soul.
Very true. Mike is literally the brains behind the whole operation and although Chester is the soul of the band, Mike laid out the foundations of Linkin Park before Chester even came into the picture. Without Mike, Linkin Park probably wouldn't have existed in the first place.
Yeah buddy you're right
We are here for you Mike. We love you, whatever we might think about the albums or the songs. At a certain point, we just love you for who you are (or what you are letting us see of you) and your talent and creativity. We love you, never doubt that. Wish you the best, man.
TheDrEamSpEcTral I couldn't have said this better. 😊
Thank you, for letting us be part of you. Stay strong. It's hard for all of us, I'm still in shock. I grew up listening Linkin Park and I love you guys so much. Greetings from Colombia. ❤😘❤
We know u had to watch it go Mike. But we lost one. Ur fans still need u. We still need chester but we have to get through together. The music never dies mike. We need u to keep it going.
You're so strong Mike, I admire you so much. Thank you for these songs, I love them.
Chester would be really proud, lovely work Mike, stay strong
Even though I hate rap, I've always loved Fort Minor and I love this, when he raps I'm just reminded of him rapping in LP and it just makes me happy, definitely going to buy all his new songs and blast them up and down the neighborhoods, I love you Mike keep doing what you're doing!
Mike, You are strong, devoted, and have good balance. You are walking through this, But what is most important is that you are not running or hiding. Let yourself feel
it all. You are strong and creative.
it is just those things that will be getting you to the other side of it.
Stay well, stay strong.
I'm glad you poured your heart out on this song. This has been an early birthday present for me on so many levels. Thank you.Just remember:"Remember all the sadness and frustration and let it go."Love you forever. You and the rest of the guys have my full support. Chester would've loved this track.
Thank you for being one of my heroes since I was 10. I'm so proud to be your fan.
Thank you Mike for such a real set of raw songs. We as LP. fans feel your pain. Obviously it's not as painful as yours as Chester was like a brother to you and the guys. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families.
LP always did songs right as I needed them. U have no idea how many times they came out with a new song, and as it were, that became my new favorite. Mike is keeping up the tradition. It's always the song that I'm listening to that is my favorite. They all kick ass. From the first time I heard the first song on the album, I hooked like a crappie n early spring. I don't know how u still have so much info n your head. Your head doesn't look any bigger, but wow,all the knowledge and information to come out. U r a great Mike, today, this is about you.
So freaking talented Mike. Way to go
Gregg Kniff
Ripchester mike you are going to keep LP together and make chester proud he's smiling down. Amazing powerful songs. Hope it lifted some weight off your shoulders. Stay strong mike. This last one I could totally here chester screaming behind you in my head. Been day one LP fan and something about how you sang in this just made me hear him.
Well, hey, that's great! Glad they're sticking around. Though I'd be fine if they created a new band. As long as they keep making music (and are happy/okay!)
kolaida Mike said Linkin Park will continue
I hope so i love LP as a whole. Everyone wi just have to get used to mike as the lead. Maybe hell even learn to scream. Only time will tell. Hes a phenomenal artist so he deff has it in him to lead the band #makechesterproud. And i think nothing would make him prouder than seeing his band keep going strong
Keith Fraser why would he scream though, i hope they keep doing awesome stuff like One more Light, that Album was by far their best work
Manuel Boehm oh idk was just saying. Yeah I hope so
Am I the only one that thinks I'm hearing Chester's voice in the background during the Chorus? Damn man...
iluminatethesky chester spirit/ghost is singing together with Mike chester is still with us. :)
iluminatethesky It's sound like Mike mimicking Chester's style of singing.
iluminatethesky its just the specific echo theyve always been fond of, i had it on my old setup, i always thought it made me sound like chester. But thats only due to the effect itself
iluminatethesky I heard Chester’s scream in the song “running from the shadows “. It’s in my head. it doesn’t go away.
i do too
I'm the son of a Florida judge. Let me be honest. Chester had a heart of gold I've been battling, literally his same demon. I'm a Wennet and I've found Jesus. Everyday your friend Chester lives through me. His spark lives on
Feels so good to really hear your thoughts and see you a little down Mike!
It shows me that you're not that superhuman who can move on and get over it quite easy as it somehow seemed.
Thanks man!! :D ~Florian
How can you say to someone “it’s good to see you a little down” ?
luis villegas well... it's not good!! it feels good to see that he is a little down as well! It just makes it less painful for me bro ❤
Lost Zone Chester was his brother. The pain any of us felt over his death absolutely PALES in comparison to the pain I know Mike has felt this last year.
Sanity Is Radical you're so right!! But he didn't really show the pain to us... I can understand that move! I just somehow missed that... and now he does show this side! It it feels somehow right to me ;)
I see what you mean... I feel the same way... like... he's not weak because he is sad, angry and down... it's a strenght to show this to the world I guess
Stay strong Mike we'll support you in this hard time, courage.
You are a HERO, a real one... thank you for everything, you’re so inspiring. I love you with all my heart, I wish I could take all your sadness away like you guys have always done for me... we love you Mike❤️
Some of these lyrics are like reading Chester's mind. Guessing how he felt. I think it's very brave and faithful of Mike to dive into these questions at the risk of feeling guilty.
