What a talent they have Chester would be so proud, shame he will never know how many ppl he saved. You know when just one person hit a cord with so many ppl they would never meet when the biggest legacy they left was a long history of wonderful music and a massive awareness of mental health issues. I had more ppl asking me if I'm ok and not accept "I'm ok" for an answer since he died. Legends never die RIP Chester
It wasn’t until the middle of the song that I realized that this wasn’t a song of mourning, but a song pleading for people struggling with suicide to stay.
It's kinda both. "Hey, I care if your light goes out, please don't let it go out." "Hey, your light went out, I'm sorry I couldn't help you keep it lit." there's at least two interpretations, I wouldn't say either are incorrect. Very similar perception to Blink 182's "Adam's Song."
This song is so beautiful. Chester sang everything that trully was on his mind. Music is the cry of souls, if some use it just for entertainment they dont know what it is for real
Every song they do is my favorite song because their singing it I never heard more beautiful sound .I'm so hook on all the beautiful voices there a girl beautiful voice her name is Rhema marvanna the song call Lord prayer/ and A note to God you will fall in love with her.
This song is truly a gift from Chester to the people who are struggling to live their life.... And this version of the song is too beautiful and powerful at the same time.
I lost my mother on February 8th, 2024, who will join my sister, who I lost in 1983 in the heavens above .Amen. Rest in peace .Thanks. One voice, your amazing.Auckland New Zealand .March 22 ,2024 - 23:14
It's one of the most beautiful and sad songs I've ever heard 😞 Chester sang who cares if one more light goes out, but we say: all people in the world who have a good music understanding cares if your light goes out so stay with us! R. I. P Chester
I believe this song was written for a friend who had died of cancer. I now have terminal cancer and this has left me in a big weeping mess, it's just beautiful.
I wish you the best and a lot of courage, I hope you are well surrounded by the people you love. On behalf of a son who has lost his mother to breast cancer, I love you
You can see the pain on the older kids' faces. They felt this loss and pain. All of them made us feel this loss and pain. It doesn't matter that we're only here for a flicker; you, they, we matter. If anyone scrolling through needs a listening ear, feel free to reach out. You and I can chat until you're feeling safe again.
You never know and the most heart breaking are children who have suicidal thoughts but don't know what to do or who to go to, no way the parents fault, had they known this was in their child's mind they would have gotten help
Having survived a recent suicide attempt (and still quite fragile) I frequently listen to this song - knowing that there are those who do care - those echoing the phrase "I do!" Thank you
Rememebr Tom that you have a mind unique despite the billions of people on earth and you have a masterpeice or contribution to this world that has yet to be seen that you will only be able to carry out while living. Fight your depression for your loved ones! This is what I like say anyway
This is the most emotional cover of a song that means so much to me ❤️ My very best friend, a 34 year old mother of a little baby who got married a year ago, suffered from depression. One evening in summer 21, she called me and told me that she's contemplating suicide. We talked for hours on the phone. I was telling her how much she means to me and her family. We talked about her cute little daughter and how much she would need her right now. How wonderful it will be when her daughter learns to talk or has her very first day at school. And just to tell her how worthy she is, I mentioned "One More Light". She loved it and called it her new favourite song. I just wanted to tell her how much I care. On the very next day, I visited her at the psychiatric hospital. We took a picknick and she cried even more. I was holding her in my arms and comforted her with all of my love and empathy. We talked about a strategy to feel better, and I wanted her to agree that I contact her husband and family. But she denied. I was struggeling about this, but in the end I agreed, hoping to have her full confidence. I told her that she could call me anytime, I would be there immediately. I begged to do so, to be honest. After all, she seemed to be calm and strong enough to face the nearest future. She even called me some days later to tell me that she's allowed to leave the hospital in order to see her family and to start an out-patient therapy. She said that she's quite fine. A few days later, she took her life on the 20th of july, just as Chester. Her little girl was eight months old then. She did not live to see even her first wedding day. I never felt this guilty before and I miss her so much. Who cares if one more light goes out in a sky of a million stars? Well, I do. To all of you, out there in the world weird web: this song ist about worthyness. It is telling you how wonderful and unique everyone is and that others care about you. Sometimes life is hard, but there are people who love and support you -every single person. Don't disappoint them and make them cry. Do not waste your life. I'm not telling you about a light on the end of a tunnel cause I do not know which tunnel your going through, but about all the people around you that care. Speak to them. Give them a chance. A suicide will NEVER solve a problem. You're not gonna say to yourself that your're feeling better now after passing away. You're just gone, leaving tears and pain and perplexity for those who care. And believe me, there are many people that care. Give them a chance and don't follow Chester. We love you!
This is true. I lost my cousin to suicide about 2 years ago. Suicide won't fix anything. If you ever feel like suicide go talk to someone. You mean so much to someone. If you feel like no one loves you I always will. I mean this to everyone. I cry almost every time I watch this song. Who cares if one more light goes out? I DO. It goes on.
Lost one of my best friends to suicide in February... It still hurts so bad and I'm never going to be perfectly okay again.... but prayer really got me past wanting to do anything harmful to myself. God bless you, and... thank you for sharing. Not many people talk about it.
Lost my closest friend to suicide. It’s been hard in the 3 years of her passing including because I had strong feelings for her but I never knew of her suicidal thoughts. I know suicide dosnt solve anything. Shine on.
Lyrics: Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored? Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore? We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep There are things that we can have, but can't keep If they say Who cares if one more light goes out? In a sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someone's time runs out? If a moment is all we are We're quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do The reminders pull the floor from your feet In the kitchen, one more chair than you need oh And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there If they say Who cares if one more light goes out? In a sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someone's time runs out? If a moment is all we are We're quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do If they say Who cares if one more light goes out? In a sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someone's time runs out? If a moment is all we are We're quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do Well I do
Hi Iris - I am Megan's stepdad and thank you for the passion you and the choir illustrated during this video. Don't forget the love of your brother - he lives.....
Hi Iris, just because you can't see him doesn't mean he isn't there ❤️ Thank you for this wonderful song, it means a lot to me when I listen to it. Can't think of any more affectionate support for Megan and your brother who left so early but aren't forgotten! As my friend, she has been a member of our local choir, passed away last year (you can find her story here in the comment section) I can feel your pain and would like to thank you and your choir for this heart warming song ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss, remember, he’s always watching from above. I also lost my friend due to suicide so this song is a inspiration. Thank you for doing this with the chior.
4 years ago i had to listen to my oldest sibling commit suicide she shot herself in the head to this day i still remember it but she wrote a note to keep on smiling for her and to be strong,for almost two years i couldnt put on a real smile.She was a amazing sister but she was bullied and didnt help our father left us for 8 years and is barely coming back 4 years after her death,she didn't deserve to die she was sutch a kind sole she always put friends and family before herself.May you rest in peace sis we will meet again some day but till then i will continue smiling for you.
@@systemofadown565 I'm getting by. Was temporarily furloughed from my job and we're struggling financially so its REALLY hammering me on top of my C-PTSD. But I'm REALLY thankful to you, my husband and everyone who liked my status and checked in on me. Its means so much. Thank you so much ^_^
@@YourWaifuTrashliness Just another internet stranger checking in and hoping that the last 5 months have been an improvement. Love and light to you and your family.
I often watch this with tears in my eyes. I lost my eldest boy to suicide just three years ago and not a moment goes by that I don’t miss him. His light went out far too early but I feel him close to me in the reminders in the house, even if we have one more chair than we need. Anniversaries and birthdays will always be the hardest and that empty chair is saved for him with a photo to mark his place. I will miss him always. Please if you need help reach out, there is always someone who will be there for you and will help you. If you are in Australia there are always resources such as beyond blue and lifeline if you feel too alone to go elsewhere. I will always say a prayer for you and keep you in my heart, you just have to ask.
You are a inspiration, I know when I lost my partner of 18 years to murder I became so much more compassionate than I ever could have understood. The closest people became the furthest and the furthest became my closest friends
“Well I did...” This song really broke me when I heard it on the radio a few days after my best friend committed suicide two years ago, and it still does, every time I listen to it
This is also one of the songs that makes me sad because I lost a friend 7 years ago to suicide. It really never stops hurting and you will never forget it but you find a new normal and it gets a little easier.
Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored? Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore? We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep There are things that we can have, but can't keep If they say Who cares if one more light goes out? In a sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someone's time runs out? If a moment is all we are We're quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do The reminders pull the floor from your feet In the kitchen, one more chair than you need oh And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there If they say Who cares if one more light goes out?

I have always loved how you guys touch on sensitive subjects in a mature and respectful way. You teach the world about those dark days and problems in an inspiring and uplifting way. Thank you, One Voice, for doing what you do. Keep singing
My mom and dad passed away and my friend start ignoring me my family one of them told go back to hostel when i went to their house i was like wt did i do
Clayton Chua I feel crushed in spirit and don’t know how to get up. I pray for God to help me up every day but I still feel so broken and sad all the time 😭
I lost my dad when I was just 17. It was a tragic day, I remembered it like it was yesterday... There's only one thing I really wanna say to you all at One Voice Children's Choir. Thank you.
JessieBear020, "May the God of peace which surpasses all our understanding, keep your heart and mind through His Jesus Christ." God is still with you, hold your head up, He cares what you are going through.
We lost one of the members of our choir this year. Something we have struggled with as a community. Our choir teacher picked up the saying “You are enough, You are Loved, and You are not alone.” We hear this message every day at the end of choir, this is such a positive message to share. We care when one lights go out. We want you to stay. You are loved. Hearing that message is so important, thank you for bringing this beautiful song into my life.
Linda, ik ken je niet. Maar het is de beste beslissing die je hebt kunnen nemen. Hopelijk ziet de wereld er voor jou inmiddels mooier uit dan 5 maanden geleden. Ik wens je alle moois toe in het heden en in de toekomst.
Inmiddels 11 maanden geleden dat je dit bericht geplaatst hebt. Ik hoop dat alles goed met je gaat. En weet dat er altijd mensen om je geven ook als ze nog niet op je pad gekomen zijn.
I just lost my cousin in a really bad car accident. She just celebrated her 53rd birthday the day before. She lived for one week prior to the crash and passed away in surgery. I miss her everyday and it doesn’t feel the same not hearing her voice and seeing her every week. This song really means soo much because she impacted so many peoples lives, and now she is no longer with us. Thank you for sharing this song, it really spoke to me and was what I needed to hear today
This song is so powerful when sang by LP but been sang by children that feel the lyrics takes it to another level, so pure, so deep. Lyrics like this one gives me hope that one day I'll be able to heal of my mental illnesses and help others heal, to finally defeat the call of suicide once and for all and never listen to it again, because that voice that may sound sweet and peaceful is really awful and scary, it brings pain and suffering to those close to us, but meanwhile I'll keep fighting and giving light to others, I do care if one more light goes out, because there are people that cares if mine do and for them I'm trying my best everyday to carry on and heal and be free.
I... I think that this song has helped a lot of people to see what they put their beloved ones through if their light would go out. And maybe this post puts this in even more spotlight than it has ever been. I wanted to thank you fore sharing your thoughts with the rest of the world and I promise I'll help those who need me. As long as that is possible and healthy for me. Lots of love to everyone who needs it in times they don't get it. There will always be one more light that cares for you. Even if you don't see it. maybe it is kinda like a candle, it needs air to give light and warmth. When you're too close, it won't flicker. I love you guys!
Seriously.....I'm a 39 year old man and you've just had me crying Such a beautiful rendition of an amazing song by an amazing group. RIP Chester....we still remember
This song is for 2020, for all the people who lost their stars, for all the people who cried, and for those who died...We will honor Chester and all the others who may have died forgotten by making this planet 🌎 a better place to live for all...#ChesterBennington #OneMoreLight
It's true what they say that the pain and suffering doesn't stop at suicide, it's passed onto our loved ones. I was 6 when I lost my dad to suicide, and I think about him every single day. Your loved ones are greatful that you persevered. Continue to fight the silent battle
This brought me to tears. I have to say this, the light never goes out!! Her soul is a light that is eternal and never goes out. What we really are, are light beings.....that is our true selves. She shared her gift and was very lucky to have you, the group. You all sing so beautifully. I always visualize kids around the world singing together sending out the message we're all one. I visualize HEARING all the kids around the world singing. I know there are different time zones around the world. Humanity must live in peace, love and harmony. I wish kids could make people realize that they are the future and everyone must communicate, peacefully. The energy of the heart is light and feelings. Much love to all.
I hope that my Daughter...Amanda Lynn...can hear this in heaven. She committed suicide on August 4, 2019 after years of battling severe depression. Thank you OVCC....for this message, and for the beautiful mission of music that you are on. I have been following you since AGT. Bless you all! :-)
Depresssion comes and goes in waves. He could have been stable and even hopeful hours before he took his life... had he shown any signs... his therapist and team would have been there. It was his best friend's birthday, it was another light who had lost the fight; a fight they had probably been enduring together. He drank and since alcohol works as a depressant, a inmense wave came and took him... It is hard to understand but I felt it once too...drank a whole bottle of wine... and then it just happens. Hopelessness takes over, you think everyone you love is better of without you, and the only thing you want is for the excruciating pain to stop..... I was just lucky someone saw me sitting on my window and said "All good? ..." . Chester just wasn't that day. Its like having a heart attack after just being cleared by the doctor... it just comes down to where you are ... and if someone can help you fast enough Heartbreaking really.... I just hope he is now free of the suffering. ❤
I just saw one voice sing this song. I can't stop watching it, I lost my 13 year old daughter to a drug o.d. so this song made my world and time stop. It's Christmas and she is gone but thank you one voice. It helps with the pain. Who cares if 1 more light flickers out ? I Do. I hold in alot of pain and tears. Maybe some day I can let go. Thank you One Voice.
When I listened to this song the first time, I was touched and I cried. I had depression and it seemed that I'd have to live in this hopeless world forever. I wanted to die. But people cared. My friends saw and cared. They made my teachers see and they cared. They helped me to get help and to talk to my parents who cared. A few months ago, a good friend texted me. And this song was in my playlist. He told me that he decided to go in the next two days. And I decided: I care. And I got the help for him, he didn't want. He was angry and told me that it was not my decision, that it was a breach of trust and that it was wrong. But I knew it was right. And I listened to this song that day and the next days and I knew that it was right. Today, I watched this video again and the memories came back and I cried. But it was a releasing crying. We didn't become good friends again, but every time I see him, I realize that he is alive, that I am alive and that it was the right decision. Thank you for your emotional support in all those hard times!
I have viewed this a few dozen times over the last few weeks. As a recently bereaved parent myself (our 6-year-old son very suddenly passed away last month due to fulminant myocarditis), I so appreciate the compassion shown to the grieving parent, the sincerity and sensitivity on these sweet children's faces, and the stunning beauty of this song. My son LOVED to sing. Thank you for the care and compassion you all show - it is a comfort.
It's been a year now, but I'm very sorry for your loss. Can't say anything else since I'm not a parent and cannot understand that pain. All love to you❤️
I have no doubt that this song went all the way up to heaven and Chester and Megan got to hear it. It’s impossible to get through this video without crying. God Bless both Chester and Megan. 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
I came very close to removing my light from the world when I believed I had no light left to contribute. 15 years later and I have the most amazing husband two beautiful children and a life I never imagined possible. I'm so grateful I stayed.
Hi - Thanks for staying in life. As Megan's step-dad and after having my 32 yr old son die of an overdoes 8 mos prior, overcoming the challenges brings blessings as you are experiencing. God bless. Jeff H.
I've battled with a lot in the last five years. From sa, sh, depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, overthinking and an Ed, I've been struggling to stay alive. This song always, always reminds me that I commit, I will just pass my pain onto billions of people. I might lose my battle, but don't think I didn't die trying to recover. If you're like me, or similar to me, please stay. ♡ You are important.
December 26, 2022. I hope you’re still alive and fighting. I struggle with some things but my 25 year old daughter has struggled much more and still is. I hate that all this stuff is genetic! ❤️
There isn't a song that exists in this world that makes me as emotional as this one. Not just because of Chester's passing, but because of the message of the song. I too have had those dark thoughts of ending my life, but my family is what kept me on this Earth. I am not a religious person by any means, but family is the most important thing to me. So thank you Chester, thank you to all of my family, and thank all of you in the comment section for being awesome and kind and caring. Reach out to those near you who may be going through tough times, whether at home, school, or even in work. Be the hands that hold up that Light, and help it shine bright.
This video is so emotional, I'm so sorry for your loss 😔. The whole song gave me goosebumps. Your songs are always in my play list. Love from Philippines ❤️
This is beautiful. I'm so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how hard it must have been for the family and the choir friends. You will never be forgotten, Megan. Thank you OVCC for the touching video.
I'm a teacher at a Primary School. In 2022 our school lost a lovely young teacher who happened to be one of my students during my first 5 years of being a teacher. She became my son's teacher during our time of being colleagues too. But now she's gone, leaving behind her husband and baby boy. She became ill at her young age... it was so unfair... her light went out so suddenly. Listening to this song made me realize how precious life really is... "Who cares if one more light goes out?" ... "I do!" Thank you #Onevoicechildrenschoir
@SabrinaBeving I'm reading your comment 9 months after you posted it. I genuinely want to know how you are now. Please let us know. You are on our hearts. Blessings
@@Gary-of4xk Thank you for your concern, blessings to you! I'm doing amazing, I found God and started to trust him with my life and everything is so much better. I've come a long way from were I was. ❤🙏
We lost our nephew by suicide last year and my best friend’s son the year before. We need more help for people and this song helps to show that we DO care. Thank you for your sharing of your story and your love. Support mental health reforms!
I tried to comit suicide mayb 5 years ago. My friend meesge stopped me from doing it. She sent me this song... I newer knew why was i so different. all of my classmates understood the jokes. They allways knew when something was only a joke. I brok my classmates arm during one of the times when they bullied me. I regreted it on the spot. "Thanks" to this during a seesion whith a terapist i realised my IQ is around 160 whitch is above the average but my EQ (Emotional Quotient) is bellow the average. I had to learn how to react on different emotional situations. I didnt understand why people cryed during a funeral (barely understand till this day). And somtimes it was overwhelming. Than i realised im gay and i tought i was a freak. I couldnt stand it anymore. But this song keept me alive. Thank you Chester!
You are perfect just the way you are. I tried to commit suicide in 2011. Fortunately I didn’t succeed but I wish someone had cared enough to make sure I was ok. I have also been getting help.
Although I am just a name on a computer I tell my students everyday, I have for years, you be you. Do not change who you are for anyone but yourself. Keep up the good fight and surround yourself with people who will support you.
Richard I thought about taking my life a year ago, for me it's a recurring thought as I've been fighting against depression and anxiety for over 25 years, also, I'm in a way like you, extremely intelligent for anything that required logic or analysis, but with a very low social intelligence, I was bullied as a child too and thought about suicide since I was 8 or 9, I also thought I was a freak, but I'm not, just as you are not a freak, I have very close friends who are gay and that doesn't change anything, I don't care who they decide to love, I care about who they are as a person. Keep fighting and don't let the demon of suicide win.
This hits me hard because it reminds of the day I met Chester. He was honestly the nicest person I have ever met. I was shocked to hear he died the night after that. Ive been depressed for a long time. No one will understand the encounter I had with him. True legend is gone and I do miss him.
When i listend to this song, i had to think about my grandpa who passed away by cancer 2 years ago. But as sad as this thought makes me, i always like thinking about him because i have so many happy memories with him and i like remembering him as the happy grandpa he was to me. 😭💗
It hurts so much when you lose someone who is really important for you. A really good song and voices to remember to the person and the good memories. But to remember hurts
Es war grad so extrem komisch, ich scrollen grad so durch die Kommentare und seh plötzlich einen deutschen Kommentar und denk mir so 'was ist das denn für ne Sprache?' 🤦😂
I love One Voice!! My son loves Linkin Park, their song really speak to him. He's been through a lot of the same things that Chester went through as a kid! He has attempted suicide 3 times, thankfully he's doing much better today!
My uncle passed away two days ago and this song hits a bit harder bc he loves songs like these. so for those who are prayer worriers, please pray for my family.😢
its been 4 years since his light was dimmed by the darkness...and this world grew just that much darker.... R.I.P Chester....the blessing of the Father be upon you and your family
And now the song ist over and I'm sitting here in tears. My uncle also comitted suicide nine years ago and this song also reminds me of all the loving moments we had together but also on the day of his death, his funeral and all the pain his death has realeased. I still miss him so much..gone but never forgotten❤️
For you Megan: RIP beautiful girl. You are never forgotten by those who love you most and your story lives on through the voices of the choir who so adore you.
The part where the mom is sitting in her daughter's bedroom is so sad, especially when she takes the shirt out of the drawer and cries into it. My grandma died recently from coronavirus and I keep thinking I'm fine, until I go into her bedroom and see all her stuff 😭😭😭😭😭
I discover this song maybe...2 years ago? And that was the first version i heard,not the original. But...this kids do an amazing job and saved me so many times since than. Yes,because i suffer of depression since i was kid myself,and everytime i had a breakdown,i just listen this. Thank you Kids...just thank you!
Badly missed Chester. I've got six children and every time I'm hurt, I always think of them..and their future. Need somebody to talk to, I'm sure everybody will lend a hand. Thank you so much One Voice Children's Choir. This is the best rendition since Chester's. Missed you a lot Chester, Rest in Paradise!!!
About a week after Chester ended his life, my cousin lost his battle with his bipolar disorder. This song always shatters me because it destroyed his family, especially his stepfather.
Everytime I hear this song I cry because it helps me remember if I was gone somebody would still care and there would be somebody that missed me, I can’t leave a person who may miss me. The first few notes of this song always make me teary but it’s okay to cry, it shows I’m strong enough to not be afraid to show my emotions
@One Voice Childrens’s Choir Never once really enjoyed going to choirs performances, but you all are one that just blows me away. Here I am, listening to this, drinking scolding hot coffee, and yet, I’ve never had so many goosebumps and chills. Ever since I started listening to your covers, especially What About Us, I’ve wanted to be a choir director, because with the right songs and amazing singers and presentation, I’ve realized how beautiful choirs truly are. You all are beyond amazing. P.S. gotta talk to you all through this comment because there is no way it would be seen through the 1000’s of comments already here! Which is amazing!
Back to watch this again - my heart goes out to you Momma - my daughter's the same age. So, so sorry for your loss, and may your willingness to share the pain of your loss help save lives. Bless you and may your daughter's light never go out in the hearts of all who loved her.
This song makes me so emotional. During the summer of 2020 I was in a deep depression and I felt like falling apart but thankfully I told my mom and my girlfriend and many others. These people saved me from going down a dark path. Guys if you feel depressed please talk to someone about it. You're not alone. If you see this message I understand what you went through. Always think of the positive stuff. You're never alone. Eventhough I'm a kid I understand. Because it was rough for me. Stay safe guys. Rest in peace Megan
I'd never realized I was crying 'till the song ended. The lyrics hit me so hard that I just kept crying for about half an hour. I'd actually sometimes thought that it wouldn't matter if one more light went off,but now I realized it is not. I thank all the children in or was in One Voice Children's Choir for making me realize this. RIP Chester.
Tomorrow i'm going to the funeral of a friend who took her life... It's amazing how much each of us matter and affect so many others for good. This song has made me cry but also hope, determined to go and share love and joy with others so one more light doesn't go out.
no matter how many times I hear this song sung by these children and teens, I always have tears well up in my eyes. the emotions that this song conveys are so strong to not feel anything. I thank you young men and women for releasing this cover, it means so much to me.
The double meaning here is truly amazing. Chester, it's a shame that u were only here for a moment. But the lives u have changed, and the children that u and Chris saved, it may have cost u both of ur lives, but u gave those children a new life. Sometimes Angels do walk amoung us.
Its currently 00:33 22nd september (UK time) im lay in a bed in the mental health unit at the local hospital. Ive had this on repeat for hours. Ive written a 15 page letter to tell my doctor what is going on in my head. I find it hard to open up about my issues. You guys are great inspiration. Thank you.
This is a great song to listen to just before 2020 is over. I remember feeling so sad when Chester died, LP was one of the first bands I ever fell into when I was still in my teens. I still listen to them. This song isn't just about Chester, it's about anyone who's ever lost someone, or just have those emotional days where they think nothing will get better. Chester helped saved millions with his music I just wish those millions were able to save him.

See this Chester? They are honoring you down here!
🙏🙏🙏🙏

you said it brother...chester gives hope
But in the end, it really does matter.
What a talent they have Chester would be so proud, shame he will never know how many ppl he saved. You know when just one person hit a cord with so many ppl they would never meet when the biggest legacy they left was a long history of wonderful music and a massive awareness of mental health issues. I had more ppl asking me if I'm ok and not accept "I'm ok" for an answer since he died.
Legends never die RIP Chester
I can almost hear Chester singing through these children. This is probably the best non LP rendition of the song I've heard.
His voice is used in the end
I feel the same
They are really good
True, but the Cover from Rezo is amazing as well. The video is called "Für Chester"
I hear it too
It wasn’t until the middle of the song that I realized that this wasn’t a song of mourning, but a song pleading for people struggling with suicide to stay.
Alyssa Julaton 🤦🏽♂️
Personally gives me comfort when I am at my lowest. Beautiful cover aswell
Listen to Chester bennington sing it. Please
No it’s not….
It's kinda both. "Hey, I care if your light goes out, please don't let it go out." "Hey, your light went out, I'm sorry I couldn't help you keep it lit." there's at least two interpretations, I wouldn't say either are incorrect. Very similar perception to Blink 182's "Adam's Song."
It's not just a song , it's an anthem for the people who are struggling from depression. Probably the best tribute one can give to Chester
This wasn’t written for suicide
This song is so beautiful. Chester sang everything that trully was on his mind. Music is the cry of souls, if some use it just for entertainment they dont know what it is for real
I got chills the second it started.
music is not one sided - I love this piece of art, but entertainment and fun can be enhanced by music and get everybody into a flow of dancing and joy
Every song they do is my favorite song because their singing it I never heard more beautiful sound .I'm so hook on all the beautiful voices there a girl beautiful voice her name is Rhema marvanna the song call Lord prayer/ and A note to God you will fall in love with her.
I'm so so sorry but I don't understand all the comments are confusing me did Chester sing in this song or has he died
Music is one of the most spiritual things we experience in this world. I truly believe that. It speaks from one soul to another
Just one word is needed to describe this whole choir:
Beautiful
Or make-up
@@DallasWhitmant .fbbff v. Bz fm
words cannot describe how amazing this choir is.
This song is truly a gift from Chester to the people who are struggling to live their life.... And this version of the song is too beautiful and powerful at the same time.
Preach it #so true
Jetzt werden wir zuhören ...und unsere lieben retten .....
Jeder kennt das lied und,weis um was es,geht ..

I immediately thought of Chester Bennington.... 😢😢Beautiful voice... Saved forever in his songs..
Anyone know her name at 1:56 ? I would love to hear more when she's singing, it's so peaceful to hear...
I lost my mother on February 8th, 2024, who will join my sister, who I lost in 1983 in the heavens above .Amen. Rest in peace .Thanks. One voice, your amazing.Auckland New Zealand .March 22 ,2024 - 23:14

A choir member... gone.
She will always be in our hearts.

My condolences 😥
And Chester

My condolences😢
Poor kid. Although I expect her to be less then 18 because it is a children choir.
It's one of the most beautiful and sad songs I've ever heard 😞
Chester sang who cares if one more light goes out, but we say: all people in the world who have a good music understanding cares if your light goes out so stay with us! R. I. P Chester
Mia Behringer its a linkin park song ;)
@@alp88charmed And Now 😂😂
Very true😢miss Chester
Hard to do... Numb, heavy, hard to don't break the habit.
I believe this song was written for a friend who had died of cancer. I now have terminal cancer and this has left me in a big weeping mess, it's just beautiful.
Sending love and light your way 😌😌
You have to listen to Chester bennington sing it for his friend chris Cornell.
Sorry to hear that. Stay strong.
I wish you the best and a lot of courage, I hope you are well surrounded by the people you love. On behalf of a son who has lost his mother to breast cancer, I love you
Stay strong, my man!!!! We're with you!!!! ;)))
One more life saved here.. thank you
Music is so powerful! Thank you for fighting and believing in yourself when times are hard.
Thank you for staying
I have been where you are. I know the daily battle is tough. Keep choosing to fight.
@@LukeBollen-ud2duSame here Brother 😢 This loneliness hurts so bad.🙏
You can see the pain on the older kids' faces. They felt this loss and pain. All of them made us feel this loss and pain. It doesn't matter that we're only here for a flicker; you, they, we matter. If anyone scrolling through needs a listening ear, feel free to reach out. You and I can chat until you're feeling safe again.
That was what made me cry is that look on their faces. (The song made me cry too, but to see the anguish on their faces...)
Wow, thank you. I sure will come here if I need to talk. ❤
You never know and the most heart breaking are children who have suicidal thoughts but don't know what to do or who to go to, no way the parents fault, had they known this was in their child's mind they would have gotten help
Yahoo fe5digsvk hdibsu
@@IndigoIslandSystem mmmk
This would make Chester proud. The beauty of this made this old lady cry
Yes this would have RIP CHESTER
Peaceful and powerful
I think he would still be with us today if he heard this masterpiece! These kids did his song justice!
Having survived a recent suicide attempt (and still quite fragile) I frequently listen to this song - knowing that there are those who do care - those echoing the phrase "I do!" Thank you
I'm so sorry for you I hope you get better
Rememebr Tom that you have a mind unique despite the billions of people on earth and you have a masterpeice or contribution to this world that has yet to be seen that you will only be able to carry out while living. Fight your depression for your loved ones! This is what I like say anyway
Thank You!
You know in deep of yourself you have your own purposes so Don't give up upon your self
Awwww Poor you I hope you get better or feel better soon
This is the most emotional cover of a song that means so much to me ❤️
My very best friend, a 34 year old mother of a little baby who got married a year ago, suffered from depression. One evening in summer 21, she called me and told me that she's contemplating suicide. We talked for hours on the phone. I was telling her how much she means to me and her family. We talked about her cute little daughter and how much she would need her right now. How wonderful it will be when her daughter learns to talk or has her very first day at school. And just to tell her how worthy she is, I mentioned "One More Light". She loved it and called it her new favourite song. I just wanted to tell her how much I care.
On the very next day, I visited her at the psychiatric hospital. We took a picknick and she cried even more. I was holding her in my arms and comforted her with all of my love and empathy. We talked about a strategy to feel better, and I wanted her to agree that I contact her husband and family. But she denied.
I was struggeling about this, but in the end I agreed, hoping to have her full confidence. I told her that she could call me anytime, I would be there immediately. I begged to do so, to be honest.
After all, she seemed to be calm and strong enough to face the nearest future. She even called me some days later to tell me that she's allowed to leave the hospital in order to see her family and to start an out-patient therapy. She said that she's quite fine.
A few days later, she took her life on the 20th of july, just as Chester.
Her little girl was eight months old then. She did not live to see even her first wedding day. I never felt this guilty before and I miss her so much.
Who cares if one more light goes out in a sky of a million stars?
Well, I do.
To all of you, out there in the world weird web: this song ist about worthyness. It is telling you how wonderful and unique everyone is and that others care about you. Sometimes life is hard, but there are people who love and support you -every single person. Don't disappoint them and make them cry. Do not waste your life. I'm not telling you about a light on the end of a tunnel cause I do not know which tunnel your going through, but about all the people around you that care. Speak to them. Give them a chance. A suicide will NEVER solve a problem. You're not gonna say to yourself that your're feeling better now after passing away. You're just gone, leaving tears and pain and perplexity for those who care. And believe me, there are many people that care. Give them a chance and don't follow Chester. We love you!
This is true. I lost my cousin to suicide about 2 years ago. Suicide won't fix anything. If you ever feel like suicide go talk to someone. You mean so much to someone. If you feel like no one loves you I always will. I mean this to everyone. I cry almost every time I watch this song.
Who cares if one more light goes out?
I DO. It goes on.
Lost one of my best friends to suicide in February... It still hurts so bad and I'm never going to be perfectly okay again.... but prayer really got me past wanting to do anything harmful to myself. God bless you, and... thank you for sharing. Not many people talk about it.
Lost my closest friend to suicide. It’s been hard in the 3 years of her passing including because I had strong feelings for her but I never knew of her suicidal thoughts. I know suicide dosnt solve anything. Shine on.

Lyrics:
Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored?
Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?
We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep
There are things that we can have, but can't keep
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
The reminders pull the floor from your feet
In the kitchen, one more chair than you need oh
And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair
Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Well I do
Thank you :)
My dear friend just lost his oldest son yesterday...🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing the lyrics with us. 👍👍🙂🙂
Por que decidiste dejarnos CHESTER?.. 😦😢
Beautiful
I wish Chester could see this. He would be proud of you, kids. Well done!
amen he would think this is beutiful! cuzit really is!
Chester is smiling down from where he is.
I dont think so
I miss Chester also
😊😊
Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there..
So beautiful
Ocean Country, those are powerful words.
This line broke me .... 😢
I was one of these children in this video I loved singing this it really helped get over the loss of my brother
Hi Iris - I am Megan's stepdad and thank you for the passion you and the choir illustrated during this video. Don't forget the love of your brother - he lives.....
Hi Iris, just because you can't see him doesn't mean he isn't there ❤️
Thank you for this wonderful song, it means a lot to me when I listen to it. Can't think of any more affectionate support for Megan and your brother who left so early but aren't forgotten!
As my friend, she has been a member of our local choir, passed away last year (you can find her story here in the comment section) I can feel your pain and would like to thank you and your choir for this heart warming song ❤️
Sending love
Incredibly powerful, well done to you and all involved. Your brother will be so proud of you 🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss, remember, he’s always watching from above. I also lost my friend due to suicide so this song is a inspiration. Thank you for doing this with the chior.
4 years ago i had to listen to my oldest sibling commit suicide she shot herself in the head to this day i still remember it but she wrote a note to keep on smiling for her and to be strong,for almost two years i couldnt put on a real smile.She was a amazing sister but she was bullied and didnt help our father left us for 8 years and is barely coming back 4 years after her death,she didn't deserve to die she was sutch a kind sole she always put friends and family before herself.May you rest in peace sis we will meet again some day but till then i will continue smiling for you.
Your sister is with you in heart mind and spirit. And she's whaching down over you. Love never ends
🖤
I'm sorry you had you have that happen to you but she sounds like a wonderful person and your sound like a wonderful and strong person
Don’t forget she is in a Bette place rn! 😇😇
Omg I’m littrealy crying from the comment.
Listened to this on repeat yesterday. Encouraged me to seek a therapist and get help.
Thank you.

I often watch this with tears in my eyes. I lost my eldest boy to suicide just three years ago and not a moment goes by that I don’t miss him. His light went out far too early but I feel him close to me in the reminders in the house, even if we have one more chair than we need. Anniversaries and birthdays will always be the hardest and that empty chair is saved for him with a photo to mark his place. I will miss him always. Please if you need help reach out, there is always someone who will be there for you and will help you.
If you are in Australia there are always resources such as beyond blue and lifeline if you feel too alone to go elsewhere. I will always say a prayer for you and keep you in my heart, you just have to ask.
I’m sad for the loss
I am sorry for your loss
You’re very strong, and remember god will never put you in a spot that you can’t handle. Stay blessed and I love you for sharing this ❤️🌹
You are a inspiration, I know when I lost my partner of 18 years to murder I became so much more compassionate than I ever could have understood. The closest people became the furthest and the furthest became my closest friends
💗💗💗💗
“Well I did...”
This song really broke me when I heard it on the radio a few days after my best friend committed suicide two years ago, and it still does, every time I listen to it
It's a pain that just doesn't seem to go away. Stay strong
I know how that feels, still missing my friend who passed away in his sleep. Logging out forever from a game we played together. Virtual hugs, cheers.
Here's an hug two years late. Stay strong :)
stay steel strong and try to keep a smile on your face no matter what happens.ok
This is also one of the songs that makes me sad because I lost a friend 7 years ago to suicide. It really never stops hurting and you will never forget it but you find a new normal and it gets a little easier.
Right when I saw that first sentence, I was on the verge of crying...😭
At least she is is in a better place now.

He knew and millions didn't hear. And he wrote it to save our lives when nobody could save his. The greatest song ever. Rest well Chester
That’s not the reason why he/LP wrote this song…..

We lost one of the members of our choir this year. Something we have struggled with as a community. Our choir teacher picked up the saying “You are enough, You are Loved, and You are not alone.” We hear this message every day at the end of choir, this is such a positive message to share. We care when one lights go out. We want you to stay. You are loved. Hearing that message is so important, thank you for bringing this beautiful song into my life.
After seeing this beautiful song 15 times i decided not to commit suicide. Thank you all SO MUCH. LOVE LOVE LOVE from the Netherlands xxxxxxxxx
Linda, ik ken je niet. Maar het is de beste beslissing die je hebt kunnen nemen. Hopelijk ziet de wereld er voor jou inmiddels mooier uit dan 5 maanden geleden. Ik wens je alle moois toe in het heden en in de toekomst.
That’s really great! Linda, how are you doing now? I pray you are ok, filled with hope. God bless you 🙏🏻
You are needed here on earth. The Lord has a perfect plan for you and a wonderful future, ask Him He will show you, He needs you.
Ik ben op dat punt
Inmiddels 11 maanden geleden dat je dit bericht geplaatst hebt. Ik hoop dat alles goed met je gaat. En weet dat er altijd mensen om je geven ook als ze nog niet op je pad gekomen zijn.
I'm so sorry for Megan. Chester is so damn proud of you people, wherever he is now.
sorry um who's Megan?

And by the way, the singing was marvellous.
Literally as soon as the video started.

I just lost my cousin in a really bad car accident. She just celebrated her 53rd birthday the day before. She lived for one week prior to the crash and passed away in surgery. I miss her everyday and it doesn’t feel the same not hearing her voice and seeing her every week. This song really means soo much because she impacted so many peoples lives, and now she is no longer with us.
Thank you for sharing this song, it really spoke to me and was what I needed to hear today
so sorry
Sorry for your lost dear
So sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss. Even though someones light may fade the memories of them never will.
This song is so powerful when sang by LP but been sang by children that feel the lyrics takes it to another level, so pure, so deep. Lyrics like this one gives me hope that one day I'll be able to heal of my mental illnesses and help others heal, to finally defeat the call of suicide once and for all and never listen to it again, because that voice that may sound sweet and peaceful is really awful and scary, it brings pain and suffering to those close to us, but meanwhile I'll keep fighting and giving light to others, I do care if one more light goes out, because there are people that cares if mine do and for them I'm trying my best everyday to carry on and heal and be free.
I... I think that this song has helped a lot of people to see what they put their beloved ones through if their light would go out. And maybe this post puts this in even more spotlight than it has ever been. I wanted to thank you fore sharing your thoughts with the rest of the world and I promise I'll help those who need me. As long as that is possible and healthy for me. Lots of love to everyone who needs it in times they don't get it. There will always be one more light that cares for you. Even if you don't see it. maybe it is kinda like a candle, it needs air to give light and warmth. When you're too close, it won't flicker. I love you guys!
Seriously.....I'm a 39 year old man and you've just had me crying
Such a beautiful rendition of an amazing song by an amazing group.
RIP Chester....we still remember
This song is for 2020, for all the people who lost their stars, for all the people who cried, and for those who died...We will honor Chester and all the others who may have died forgotten by making this planet 🌎 a better place to live for all...#ChesterBennington #OneMoreLight
I have to cry. The children remember a special person who is missed by many people. RIP Chester ❤

nice to hear that
Big tight hug to you😊
James Shaw very well said. Stood at that cliff last year too.
It's true what they say that the pain and suffering doesn't stop at suicide, it's passed onto our loved ones. I was 6 when I lost my dad to suicide, and I think about him every single day.
Your loved ones are greatful that you persevered. Continue to fight the silent battle
That's right! I agree! You made right choice ^^
This brought me to tears. I have to say this, the light never goes out!! Her soul is a light that is eternal and never goes out. What we really are, are light beings.....that is our true selves. She shared her gift and was very lucky to have you, the group. You all sing so beautifully. I always visualize kids around the world singing together sending out the message we're all one. I visualize HEARING all the kids around the world singing. I know there are different time zones around the world. Humanity must live in peace, love and harmony. I wish kids could make people realize that they are the future and everyone must communicate, peacefully. The energy of the heart is light and feelings. Much love to all.
I hope that my Daughter...Amanda Lynn...can hear this in heaven. She committed suicide on August 4, 2019 after years of battling severe depression. Thank you OVCC....for this message, and for the beautiful mission of music that you are on. I have been following you since AGT. Bless you all! :-)
I can feel you!
I can feel your words!!💐
And Chester
God bring you comfort and peace.
Chester’s last album was really emotional. Majority of the songs were extremely sad and nobody saw the signs that he was hurting on the inside 😔
This is not right. Many saw the signs, but no one could do anything. If someone wants to die, he will die
They saw the signs. Even mike shinoda stated that he knew Chester was hurting but at a certain point you can only do so much
This song was written by Shinoda with another song writer, and originally written to someone who worked at the record company.
You are wrong, because almost the whole album, including the song "One More Light" was written by Mike not Chester. Chester only wrote "Heavy".
Depresssion comes and goes in waves. He could have been stable and even hopeful hours before he took his life... had he shown any signs... his therapist and team would have been there.
It was his best friend's birthday, it was another light who had lost the fight; a fight they had probably been enduring together. He drank and since alcohol works as a depressant, a inmense wave came and took him...
It is hard to understand but I felt it once too...drank a whole bottle of wine... and then it just happens. Hopelessness takes over, you think everyone you love is better of without you, and the only thing you want is for the excruciating pain to stop..... I was just lucky someone saw me sitting on my window and said "All good? ..." . Chester just wasn't that day.
Its like having a heart attack after just being cleared by the doctor... it just comes down to where you are ... and if someone can help you fast enough
Heartbreaking really.... I just hope he is now free of the suffering. ❤
I just saw one voice sing this song. I can't stop watching it, I lost my 13 year old daughter to a drug o.d. so this song made my world and time stop. It's Christmas and she is gone but thank you one voice. It helps with the pain. Who cares if 1 more light flickers out ? I Do. I hold in alot of pain and tears. Maybe some day I can let go. Thank you One Voice.
😭 Oh sweet Lord I am so sorry for your pain and your loss. ❤ I have no more words.🙏
Sending you lots of love. You are not alone in this battle, "we" as thoughts and blessings are all with you.

Linkin park in general saved my life more then once. Sending love and hugs!
When I listened to this song the first time, I was touched and I cried. I had depression and it seemed that I'd have to live in this hopeless world forever. I wanted to die. But people cared. My friends saw and cared. They made my teachers see and they cared. They helped me to get help and to talk to my parents who cared.
A few months ago, a good friend texted me. And this song was in my playlist. He told me that he decided to go in the next two days. And I decided: I care. And I got the help for him, he didn't want. He was angry and told me that it was not my decision, that it was a breach of trust and that it was wrong. But I knew it was right. And I listened to this song that day and the next days and I knew that it was right.
Today, I watched this video again and the memories came back and I cried. But it was a releasing crying.
We didn't become good friends again, but every time I see him, I realize that he is alive, that I am alive and that it was the right decision.
Thank you for your emotional support in all those hard times!
I am so sorry to be sad
I wish all the best and i hope that you are better.Get strong
This is one of the most beautiful rendition of this song I have ever heard in my life. I’ve never cried so hard from a song before.

I have viewed this a few dozen times over the last few weeks. As a recently bereaved parent myself (our 6-year-old son very suddenly passed away last month due to fulminant myocarditis), I so appreciate the compassion shown to the grieving parent, the sincerity and sensitivity on these sweet children's faces, and the stunning beauty of this song.
My son LOVED to sing.
Thank you for the care and compassion you all show - it is a comfort.

I have no doubt that this song went all the way up to heaven and Chester and Megan got to hear it. It’s impossible to get through this video without crying.
God Bless both Chester and Megan. 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
I could just imagine Chester standing around the children and smiling like he always does. Just breaks my fucking heart :)
Me too but he is so so proud
Hey no swearing😤
No swearing on a children's page and sentinamintal moment 😪😰😢even though I agree with your post about chester
can I ask who Chester is? the lost member was female...right?
@@jananduncan7153 No! Chester was the main singer of Linkin Park band. He died in 2017
I came very close to removing my light from the world when I believed I had no light left to contribute. 15 years later and I have the most amazing husband two beautiful children and a life I never imagined possible. I'm so grateful I stayed.
Hi - Thanks for staying in life. As Megan's step-dad and after having my 32 yr old son die of an overdoes 8 mos prior, overcoming the challenges brings blessings as you are experiencing. God bless. Jeff H.
This made me cry. Suicide awareness needs to be focused on more.
I've battled with a lot in the last five years. From sa, sh, depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, overthinking and an Ed, I've been struggling to stay alive. This song always, always reminds me that I commit, I will just pass my pain onto billions of people. I might lose my battle, but don't think I didn't die trying to recover. If you're like me, or similar to me, please stay. ♡ You are important.
December 26, 2022. I hope you’re still alive and fighting. I struggle with some things but my 25 year old daughter has struggled much more and still is. I hate that all this stuff is genetic! ❤️
There isn't a song that exists in this world that makes me as emotional as this one. Not just because of Chester's passing, but because of the message of the song. I too have had those dark thoughts of ending my life, but my family is what kept me on this Earth. I am not a religious person by any means, but family is the most important thing to me. So thank you Chester, thank you to all of my family, and thank all of you in the comment section for being awesome and kind and caring. Reach out to those near you who may be going through tough times, whether at home, school, or even in work. Be the hands that hold up that Light, and help it shine bright.
This video is so emotional, I'm so sorry for your loss 😔. The whole song gave me goosebumps. Your songs are always in my play list.
Love from Philippines ❤️
This is beautiful. I'm so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how hard it must have been for the family and the choir friends. You will never be forgotten, Megan. Thank you OVCC for the touching video.
I'm a teacher at a Primary School. In 2022 our school lost a lovely young teacher who happened to be one of my students during my first 5 years of being a teacher. She became my son's teacher during our time of being colleagues too. But now she's gone, leaving behind her husband and baby boy. She became ill at her young age... it was so unfair... her light went out so suddenly. Listening to this song made me realize how precious life really is... "Who cares if one more light goes out?" ... "I do!"
Thank you #Onevoicechildrenschoir
This is a song I gave to a friend who is struggling. Thank you for this amazing and insperational verison. You're voices will help so many people.
We hope we can help as many people as possible! We are glad it has helped a friend of yours. Spread the word!

@@Gary-of4xk Thank you for your concern, blessings to you! I'm doing amazing, I found God and started to trust him with my life and everything is so much better. I've come a long way from were I was. ❤🙏
This made me cry. A lot. Rest in Peace Megan, Chester, and everyone else
We lost our nephew by suicide last year and my best friend’s son the year before. We need more help for people and this song helps to show that we DO care. Thank you for your sharing of your story and your love. Support mental health reforms!
This is a video no one asked for, but we all want it. You will never be forgotten, Chester!
I was crying when the first time I listened to this song, I remembered my friend.
I tried to comit suicide mayb 5 years ago. My friend meesge stopped me from doing it. She sent me this song...
I newer knew why was i so different. all of my classmates understood the jokes. They allways knew when something was only a joke.
I brok my classmates arm during one of the times when they bullied me. I regreted it on the spot.
"Thanks" to this during a seesion whith a terapist i realised my IQ is around 160 whitch is above the average but my EQ (Emotional Quotient) is bellow the average.
I had to learn how to react on different emotional situations. I didnt understand why people cryed during a funeral (barely understand till this day). And somtimes it was overwhelming. Than i realised im gay and i tought i was a freak. I couldnt stand it anymore.
But this song keept me alive.
Thank you Chester!
You are perfect just the way you are. I tried to commit suicide in 2011. Fortunately I didn’t succeed but I wish someone had cared enough to make sure I was ok. I have also been getting help.
Your story makes me cry and smile so much! Continue living to your greatest potential!
Although I am just a name on a computer I tell my students everyday, I have for years, you be you. Do not change who you are for anyone but yourself. Keep up the good fight and surround yourself with people who will support you.
Ive been wondering the same thing ...why cry at a funeral ...
Richard I thought about taking my life a year ago, for me it's a recurring thought as I've been fighting against depression and anxiety for over 25 years, also, I'm in a way like you, extremely intelligent for anything that required logic or analysis, but with a very low social intelligence, I was bullied as a child too and thought about suicide since I was 8 or 9, I also thought I was a freak, but I'm not, just as you are not a freak, I have very close friends who are gay and that doesn't change anything, I don't care who they decide to love, I care about who they are as a person. Keep fighting and don't let the demon of suicide win.
And 7 years later, am still crying over Chester. Thank you for this beautiful cover ❤
Chester would have loved this, bringing people together with love in the darkest of times, incredible thank you ♥️
This hits me hard because it reminds of the day I met Chester. He was honestly the nicest person I have ever met. I was shocked to hear he died the night after that. Ive been depressed for a long time. No one will understand the encounter I had with him. True legend is gone and I do miss him.
When i listend to this song, i had to think about my grandpa who passed away by cancer 2 years ago. But as sad as this thought makes me, i always like thinking about him because i have so many happy memories with him and i like remembering him as the happy grandpa he was to me. 😭💗
It hurts so much when you lose someone who is really important for you.
A really good song and voices to remember to the person and the good memories.
But to remember hurts
Toller Song, sehr tolle und kraftvolle Stimmen ! Freue mich immer aufs Neue über neue Songs , immer ein Augen und Ohrenschmaus 👌👌☺️☺️. Dankeschön 👍👍
Juhu ich bin nicht die einzige Deutsche 😘
Es war grad so extrem komisch, ich scrollen grad so durch die Kommentare und seh plötzlich einen deutschen Kommentar und denk mir so 'was ist das denn für ne Sprache?' 🤦😂
Nele Black #DA 🤣🤣....manchmal frage ich mich das auch 🙈🤣

Deutsche hier!
I love One Voice!! My son loves Linkin Park, their song really speak to him. He's been through a lot of the same things that Chester went through as a kid! He has attempted suicide 3 times, thankfully he's doing much better today!
I am glad 🙂
My uncle passed away two days ago and this song hits a bit harder bc he loves songs like these. so for those who are prayer worriers, please pray for my family.😢
Thanks Chester. Your voice will always be in My heart in My thoughts.
its been 4 years since his light was dimmed by the darkness...and this world grew just that much darker....
R.I.P Chester....the blessing of the Father be upon you and your family
I do, for my brother Marcus and Chester. Life ended too soon. Love always, be at peace.💜🌟
And now the song ist over and I'm sitting here in tears. My uncle also comitted suicide nine years ago and this song also reminds me of all the loving moments we had together but also on the day of his death, his funeral and all the pain his death has realeased. I still miss him so much..gone but never forgotten❤️
🙏💐🌹
Thanks for sharing. It takes so much courage for you to be vulnerable and share this. He'll always be with you in your heart. Sending love to you ❤️
@@isabellepinto1626thank you so much❤
For you Megan: RIP beautiful girl. You are never forgotten by those who love you most and your story lives on through the voices of the choir who so adore you.
The part where the mom is sitting in her daughter's bedroom is so sad, especially when she takes the shirt out of the drawer and cries into it. My grandma died recently from coronavirus and I keep thinking I'm fine, until I go into her bedroom and see all her stuff 😭😭😭😭😭
@John Fidelio Ahhh 🥺😥
I feel you... It will get better 💔
My Grandad died during the pandemic from Pancreatic Cancer😭

@@chiyahyoung5235 thats what im wondering

Rest In Peace meghan
I discover this song maybe...2 years ago? And that was the first version i heard,not the original. But...this kids do an amazing job and saved me so many times since than. Yes,because i suffer of depression since i was kid myself,and everytime i had a breakdown,i just listen this. Thank you Kids...just thank you!
Badly missed Chester. I've got six children and every time I'm hurt, I always think of them..and their future. Need somebody to talk to, I'm sure everybody will lend a hand. Thank you so much One Voice Children's Choir. This is the best rendition since Chester's.
Missed you a lot Chester, Rest in Paradise!!!
Who cares if one more light goes out?
"Well I do."
Rosa Kang I care
We all do
I do
I care
I care
About a week after Chester ended his life, my cousin lost his battle with his bipolar disorder. This song always shatters me because it destroyed his family, especially his stepfather.
Everytime I hear this song I cry because it helps me remember if I was gone somebody would still care and there would be somebody that missed me, I can’t leave a person who may miss me. The first few notes of this song always make me teary but it’s okay to cry, it shows I’m strong enough to not be afraid to show my emotions
This Is The Saddest Cover I’ve Seen From You Guys
Tough, but very needed topic. Choose to stay!
@One Voice Childrens’s Choir
Never once really enjoyed going to choirs performances, but you all are one that just blows me away. Here I am, listening to this, drinking scolding hot coffee, and yet, I’ve never had so many goosebumps and chills. Ever since I started listening to your covers, especially What About Us, I’ve wanted to be a choir director, because with the right songs and amazing singers and presentation, I’ve realized how beautiful choirs truly are. You all are beyond amazing.
P.S. gotta talk to you all through this comment because there is no way it would be seen through the 1000’s of comments already here! Which is amazing!
Back to watch this again - my heart goes out to you Momma - my daughter's the same age. So, so sorry for your loss, and may your willingness to share the pain of your loss help save lives. Bless you and may your daughter's light never go out in the hearts of all who loved her.
This song makes me so emotional. During the summer of 2020 I was in a deep depression and I felt like falling apart but thankfully I told my mom and my girlfriend and many others. These people saved me from going down a dark path. Guys if you feel depressed please talk to someone about it. You're not alone. If you see this message I understand what you went through. Always think of the positive stuff. You're never alone. Eventhough I'm a kid I understand. Because it was rough for me. Stay safe guys. Rest in peace Megan
Still listening ...2024 ....RIP Chester the best voice ever ....rest în pace 😢😢
I'd never realized I was crying 'till the song ended. The lyrics hit me so hard that I just kept crying for about half an hour. I'd actually sometimes thought that it wouldn't matter if one more light went off,but now I realized it is not. I thank all the children in or was in One Voice Children's Choir for making me realize this.
RIP Chester.
Tomorrow i'm going to the funeral of a friend who took her life... It's amazing how much each of us matter and affect so many others for good. This song has made me cry but also hope, determined to go and share love and joy with others so one more light doesn't go out.
Oh I feel so sad and sorry for you
no matter how many times I hear this song sung by these children and teens, I always have tears well up in my eyes. the emotions that this song conveys are so strong to not feel anything. I thank you young men and women for releasing this cover, it means so much to me.
The double meaning here is truly amazing. Chester, it's a shame that u were only here for a moment. But the lives u have changed, and the children that u and Chris saved, it may have cost u both of ur lives, but u gave those children a new life. Sometimes Angels do walk amoung us.
Its currently 00:33 22nd september (UK time) im lay in a bed in the mental health unit at the local hospital. Ive had this on repeat for hours. Ive written a 15 page letter to tell my doctor what is going on in my head. I find it hard to open up about my issues.
You guys are great inspiration.
Thank you.
You're stronger than you think, Ben :)
I pray 🙏 that you are doing well.
This is a great song to listen to just before 2020 is over. I remember feeling so sad when Chester died, LP was one of the first bands I ever fell into when I was still in my teens. I still listen to them. This song isn't just about Chester, it's about anyone who's ever lost someone, or just have those emotional days where they think nothing will get better. Chester helped saved millions with his music I just wish those millions were able to save him.
Sending love ❤️ We are so sorry to hear about your loss.
This. This is just its beautiful 🫶🏻
