As a therapist I'd love to get your take on the album from Linkin Park album One More Light and the title song where it sounds like Chester was saying goodbye. The entire album for me sounds like a cry for help. After his friend Chris Cornel took his own life Chester seemed to struggle with the loss.
Linkin Park was there for alot of people going through mental health issues and depression. Their music was what got me through some really tough times. RIP Chester, you saved so many lives and we couldn't save yours.
@@Godless-Being maybe by seeing the pain it causes to loose people we love, will prevent some to not take that route. We live in such an unstable and unhappy world finding something to make us smile can be difficult. Even worse when people who make us happy are even more unhappy than we are and can no longer bear their pain. I’m still reeling from tWitch, Robin Williams, Anthony Bourdain, and so many more. 😿
And Given Up is a letter from Chester about his mental health and drifting more towards giving up on life completely. And then a decade later.... he acted on it
So true loved their music I just wish they stayed around a lot longer shortly after they stopped I went through one of my hardest trials in my life and almost left it behind
Yeah I would like to. I’m going to see how people respond to this one first. I have so little time and so many reactions to do that I’m trying to do what people actually want to see.
Be sure to look for live versions of their music as well. There are some amazing performances out there and the way they can get a crowd going is a sight to see. Chester 😢
@@TherapistReactsOfficial I'm struggling with the singer that was added (I'll never say replaced or standing in big shoes, cause that's just not fair to *anyone* as there is but 1 Chester). I don't know how songs about mental health is going to work coming from someone that was raised in and is still in an Organization that goes against everything Chester fought while he was with us. My own thoughts and opinions. As a survivor, I can't get past harassment and intimidation of victims 💔😢..... This is a rough one!!!
The majority of Linkin Park deals with heavier topics, frequently in ways very relatable to people suffering from mental illness. On the top of my head, "Papercut", "Crawling", "Breaking The Habit", "Easier To Run", and "Given Up" immediately comes to mind. I'd recommend watching the performance of "Crawling" from the One More Light tour, you can really see the deep emotional connection between the lead singer Chester and the fans as they perform that beautiful song. Chester was such a master of vocally expressing emotion across such a wide spectrum, amazing talent ❤
The part you didnt know the term for would be the bridge. And if you look into more of Chester's music, you'll see the line "sing like an angel, scream like a demon" a whole lot.
9:53 Yeah... Chester had a way with holding extremely long vocal expressions, most famously, Given Up's "17 Second Scream", seen best with the Live performance in Clarkston 2007. The sheer expression of his pain and turmoil was just incredible. I also recommend Breaking the Habit, also live. iTunes Festival 2011 for just an incredible and emotive performance, or Birmingham 2017 for his last performance, before he ended his own story all too soon. Chester's entire discography was simply cries for help that never truly came.
Chester ment so much to so many of us that suffered during childhood and with the subsequent depression and mental health issues that it leaves you with. He put my thoughts and feelings into words and they matched it with fabulous music. I will miss chester for as long as i live, and pray he has found the peace he needed and deserved, but so wish he was still here 😢
I mean, most songs are written to be able to relate to, struggling with depression/suicidal thoughts isn't really uncommon, makes sense that people would relate.
Chester made us all feel seen and heard when we were younger. His voice held the pain of a generation of lost youths and tortured teenage souls. Now people are realizing that his music was a cry for help and he was struggling so much. It's so sad it just breaks my heart. I miss him so much. Thank God we still have his music but man it really hits different now knowing what happened. RIP Chester. We all loved you and connected to you so much.
Hybrid Theory was so important to me. it was in my car’s tape player permanently for about 5 years during and after a relationship with a narcissist. This song and Pushing me Away really resonated and I could scream along to them, and get all my frustration out. Very therapeutic
The band is fantastic and 7 years after Chester lost his battle with his demons they are attempting to start again with a new lead singer. So many of their songs reflected his battle with mental health and helped(helps)so many people. Tragically on the anniversary of his friend's sui*ide he followed him. Other songs to try. Numb What I've Done Crawling
Chester passed away on Chris Cornell's birthday July 20, 2017. Chris passed away on May 18, 2017. Gotta say those two wrenched my heart badly, I had Chris' songs before Andrew Wood passed. Got me through a lot of hell during my school years.
@AngB517 My bad I should have looked it up myself. I had heard it was on the anniversary. So tragic for all that loved them both and for the music as well.
Chester was the best! He saved so many lives, mine included. The world isn't the same without him. He succumbed to his demons sadly. And after he gelped so many! And no, this xame out over 30 years ago lol. About 23 ish. Great video man.
The line “I wasted it all just to watch you go” hits REALLY! hard for me cause when I was a Sophomore in high school there was this girl, I had a huge crush on and she sat next to me that entire year for abt 6 month. She eventually switched out of that class, but the entire time she sat next to me she sometimes would try to talk to me and stuff, but I’d always blow her off cause of how shy I was and I’d put off saying something to her because I figured, I’d see her the next day, until I didn’t, because eventually she switched out of my class, and I felt so bad abt how I had this great opportunity to become a part of her life, and “I wasted all of that time” I had to get to know her “just to watch her go”, and my junior year every time I’d see her in the hallway (which was like once a month) I’d always feel so mad at myself and I truly developed self hatred and guilt, and I remember when she left for college at the end of my junior year. I listened to In The End and I thought back to that, and this song really helped me get over that hatred towards myself and now I’m a senior and it’s been a few months since she left for college but I feel a lot better abt it now, but that memory and this song taught me a HUUUGE lesson.
I do this at karaoke, I do Chester, and yes, that note is crazy long.. I would want you to do a reaction to Linking Park One more light, which is the last song before he killed himself.. and no one saw it coming, really. Do not try without tissues
When this Song cames out in 2001, I was 17 and for all these people, who was in this age. Linkin Park were spoken deep down from our heart. Sounds weard, if you read it, but for the most part it was true.
Always keep in mind when interpreting Linkin Park's lyrics, that the majority of the lyrics were written by Mike, the Emcee and producer of the band, rather than by Chester, the lead singer. Because people are now aware of Chester's mental health struggles, and the deeply emotional intelligence of Mike's lyrics, a lot of people sort of put two and two together and get 5, and assume the deeply emotional lyrics were written by the person singing them with equal emotional depth. This song was written by Mike when he was starting to feel like the years of work he'd been putting into the band would all be for nothing. They'd been an underground band for more than 4 years and he was feeling like they were never going to make it as a band. Ironically it was this song that made them a worldwide hit.
LP is a great band, Chester helped so many people, millions I would guess, but he didn't get saved in the end, so sad. RIP Chester, brother you are missed
Just subscribed because I would love for you to react to more Linkin Park songs. Especially from their first Ablum as it is my favorite. They deal with so many important mental health issues and really got me through my teenage years.
Very interesting to see you analyze the meaning of both the lyrics and the video. Linkin Park really does hit hard on the mental health stuff. Thanks for sharing!
YES Linkin Park. One of the bands that got me into harder rock and metal. Loved their music since their debut album was released. More from them would be awesome. Songs like Numb, Crawling, One More Light, One Step Closer are incredible! They got many more bangers. So just pick one, you can't go wrong with Linkin Park.
Great reaction, Linkin Park is my favorite band and Chester was a brilliant singer, you should definitely deep dive into more LP songs, when you know what happened to Chester you start to realize what the lyrics are about
I wish that people like Chester, tWitch, Robin Williams knew what that meant to those of us who struggle with depression. Each one so different than the other but pulled us through difficult times. You just know Chester feels what we are feeling.
You can start going through the entirety of "Hybrid Theory" and "Meteora" if you wanna get your rock your socks off, many of their songs touch on mental health. It was a pleasure seeing you absorb everything the song had to present, and the song didn't come out in 2007, that's just when it was uploaded to youtube, in actuality it came out in October of 2000, i heard it for the first time in 2001 when i was just 13 and loved it ever since, same goes for the entire Album "Hybrid Theory" that it was on.
This song does refer to a relationship but when Chester says “I’ve put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go, for all this there’s only one thing you should know” others say it reference his childhood friend that took advantage of him that SA’d him.
with a couple tours and after a couple of albums under her belt its very possible the new generation will want emily's vocals over chesters going forward, the songs she seems to have trouble with will probably get better for older fans but there will always be an empty gap feeling, just depends how her lyrics hit the right cords with new linkin park fans and you already know the way mike constructs his music and with powerful lyrics its def possible this works and opens the doors for a whole new set of diehard LP fans
Just subbed! Would love to see more Linkin Park reactions. I started listening to them before I was even a teen and their music helped me process and get through so many dark experiences in my life. From a mental health perspective, this band would definitely be worth diving into. I think the singer, Chester (R.I.P), does a consistently incredible job at emoting through his vocals, in a way that really captures and moves people.
I am looking at the other screen and all I hear is: "The sun coming out, he realizes it doesn't even matter. There's BUTTERFLIES! There's.... a.... flying... whale? ...it's beautiful"
i've listened to this song so many times but never caught on a lot of these details, your insights are great! would love to see you reacting to more linkin park songs :)
I relate to Chester and the songs so much. I think only those who suffered severe abuse as kids can really get the depth of his words. I miss him so much he was my mirror and the songs keep me alive.
I am watching this for the first time. I am a huge linkin park fan. The part were he is saying about wast time to watch you go. Is actually about Chester and his past. He had a bad relationship with his father... and this song was just him telling his dad. Tht he is so trapped and he has wasted so much time hoping that his father would just say sorry.
“What h it fly by as the pendulum swings” is about your feeling of alienation from control of your own life. No matter what you do that pendulum will continue to move and there’s nothing you can do about it. So at a certain point it all seems hopeless. Your feelings, your interpretations, your emotions, your wants , your needs , your goals are all of zero consequence.
When I’ve had a difficult/draining shift at work, i put on Linkin Park in the car on my way back home and belt along…Don’t know what it looks like for the world around me but it makes me feel a whole lot better. Can you please react to Numb by Linkin Park? Have a wonderful day!
whenever i listen to linkin park, i get full body goosebumps to my scalp. chester has an amazing voice and i relate to a lot of their songs. you should also check out a place for my head or forgotten
I was listening them back then, when I was 15 and felt lost. Now I made it to my thirties, and am returning to them every time it becomes too hard. There is something in them. Comforting. Like I wrote it myself. Like somebody just took out all of that from my head, so it could be a little bit lighter. And there is something soothing in the music too, despite all the screaming and such.
Something to keep in mind, Chester didn't write most of the songs, Mike did. Or they wrote them together, including this song. But yeah, maybe Mike was empathizing with Chester and subconsciously wrote songs about him.
I giggled so much when you mentioned my name and you did not pronounc like Princess Diana, thank you for that. Because of bulling in the past with this name I really appreciate it. I felt so honored and as always I really liked your interpretation of the song. With my ADHD I really felt this "I tried so hard and get so far, but it doesn't really matter" always hit me. Because it is a daily struggle with trying to function in a world that isn't made for me. Especially jobwise. Nice job Stuart! Can't wait for more!
Oh and you might like the new LP Song with a plot twist ;) It is called the Emptiness Machine and was just released. They are going on tour again! Would love to see your reaction on this!
Lincoln Park music helped me so much when I came back from Afghanistan, I don't think I would have made it without them. They just knew and it was not something I could even attempt to explain to anyone. I don't think this song was about a relationship in the way you do, it is about an abuser and a victim.
Their songs touch in a very special way and helped a lot of people (including me) through rough times and still do until today (at least for me and I'm 41) 🫶🏻 "Given up", "One more light", "Leave out all the rest" and "Numb" too, are just examples of really heartwrenching ones by them 😢 But you simply can't go wrong with any LP song 🙏🏼
Linkin park has been great for anyone whos hit hard times, however the trouble (At least for those looking for something specific like this video) is that more often than not (at least in the Chester Bennington era of the band) is that the meanings arent exactly linear, theyre the morphing of perspectives and stories chester and mike each had, all revolving around a given feeling (the given song)
I honestly fought how on earth did you miss that song in the last 20 years. But then you immediately said it was familiar, which just makes sense haha :)
This album (hybridtheory) was the first I ever bought. I wad in high school and it was everywhere, for good reason.. incidentally, I left it in the cd player in the music room for less than 30 minutes and it was gone 😂
Can you please react to the Song Two of us by Louis Tomlinson? It is a Song about him and his mother about the los when she died because of cancer when she was 43. It is not only a das song, it give Hope too.
It might be a little heavy for you but if u really want something to unpack and evaluate Chester’s Demons and battle with mental health react to Given up live in Clarkston

I'm glad to know that I'm not alone about Linkin Park being there for us in difficult moments ❤
Still helping some of us
"There's... a... flying... whale?". Yes, yes there is because 2001 that's why. haha
If you want a laugh - and be puzzled - Google “Canberra Skywhale”
Gojira Entered the chat.. Flying Wales, a song about Astral projection... Not to be confused with Flying Wales, wich is a flying englishman..
Their song Numb, Breaking The Habit & Crawling speaks a lot about inner struggles.
Oh yes
And Given Up is a letter from Chester about his mental health and drifting more towards giving up on life completely. And then a decade later.... he acted on it
Easier to run too
also given up and easier to run
So true loved their music I just wish they stayed around a lot longer shortly after they stopped I went through one of my hardest trials in my life and almost left it behind
linkin park is amazing especially for mental health topics. should go down the rabbit hole
Yeah I would like to. I’m going to see how people respond to this one first. I have so little time and so many reactions to do that I’m trying to do what people actually want to see.
@TherapistReactsOfficial faint, crawling, numb and one more light. Are good highlights to start with
If u dont get enough responses. Do the deep dive for your self. Think u might enjoy and find it useful
Be sure to look for live versions of their music as well. There are some amazing performances out there and the way they can get a crowd going is a sight to see. Chester 😢

"How long was that singer (holding that note)" - That's Chester Bennington to you and all of us, my friend. RIP legend ❤

After Chester died many fans noticed the inner struggle in these songs. He was crying for help the whole time, and we took them as catchy songs.
Well... He didn't write most of the songs. Most of them were written by Mike.
@@TriViuM2k22
Written by Mike based on Chester stories.
I mean, most songs are written to be able to relate to, struggling with depression/suicidal thoughts isn't really uncommon, makes sense that people would relate.
Really? Because before he died, everyone was commenting how Linkin Park music sucks and needs to be more like Hybrid Theory and Meteora again.
@@darkaoshi27 yup. Comments only turned positive after he died.
Chester had many mental problems, in the end he gave up on life. Their song Numb spoke to me, so i got professional help. I am no longer Numb :)

The way you said “there’s a flying whale” so confused and perplexed” 😅😅😅
One think for sure, I'll be here for Linkin Park reactions.
Now that I'm 27 I realized that their songs have deep meanings.
I absolutely recommend checking out more of their discography for yourself. Numb wrenches at me every time. RIP Chester. Truly one of a kind.
The band is fantastic and 7 years after Chester lost his battle with his demons they are attempting to start again with a new lead singer.
So many of their songs reflected his battle with mental health and helped(helps)so many people.
Tragically on the anniversary of his friend's sui*ide he followed him.
Other songs to try.
Numb

He had a bad relationship with his father... and this song was just him telling his dad. Tht he is so trapped and he has wasted so much time hoping that his father would just say sorry.

RIP Chester. We all love you man! Miss you forever...
shadow of day i think should be the next one you watch
the music video is up there with lost in the echo and from the inside
Crawling the official video ❤🎉
That part of a song is called the bridge.
I was listening them back then, when I was 15 and felt lost. Now I made it to my thirties, and am returning to them every time it becomes too hard. There is something in them. Comforting. Like I wrote it myself. Like somebody just took out all of that from my head, so it could be a little bit lighter.
And there is something soothing in the music too, despite all the screaming and such.
I highly recommend Numb and Breaking the Habit.
RIP Chester!❤
Something to keep in mind, Chester didn't write most of the songs, Mike did. Or they wrote them together, including this song.
But yeah, maybe Mike was empathizing with Chester and subconsciously wrote songs about him.
It may be worth the time for you to react to Given Up by Linkin Park. But, towards the end of the LP rabbit hole.
I need to see a therapist's take on Given Up. That song fucking hurts after Chester's suicide
Same
what i love abt linkin park is no love song ,they made songs that talks abt reality that really happened ,not some kind of fantasy love song
I giggled so much when you mentioned my name and you did not pronounc like Princess Diana, thank you for that. Because of bulling in the past with this name I really appreciate it.
I felt so honored and as always I really liked your interpretation of the song. With my ADHD I really felt this "I tried so hard and get so far, but it doesn't really matter" always hit me. Because it is a daily struggle with trying to function in a world that isn't made for me. Especially jobwise. Nice job Stuart! Can't wait for more!
Oh and you might like the new LP Song with a plot twist ;) It is called the Emptiness Machine and was just released. They are going on tour again! Would love to see your reaction on this!
RIP Chester
Lincoln Park music helped me so much when I came back from Afghanistan, I don't think I would have made it without them. They just knew and it was not something I could even attempt to explain to anyone. I don't think this song was about a relationship in the way you do, it is about an abuser and a victim.
Maybe you can react to the song And One from Linkin Park.
Their songs touch in a very special way and helped a lot of people (including me) through rough times and still do until today (at least for me and I'm 41) 🫶🏻
"Given up", "One more light", "Leave out all the rest" and "Numb" too, are just examples of really heartwrenching ones by them 😢
But you simply can't go wrong with any LP song 🙏🏼
best linkin park song ever
It will be heresy for you not to go down this rabbit hole. Be touched like the rest of us!!!
Ill keep saying that LP created CGI and push all in next level !Best MTV song clip change my mind !
Linkin park has been great for anyone whos hit hard times, however the trouble (At least for those looking for something specific like this video) is that more often than not (at least in the Chester Bennington era of the band) is that the meanings arent exactly linear, theyre the morphing of perspectives and stories chester and mike each had, all revolving around a given feeling (the given song)
I honestly fought how on earth did you miss that song in the last 20 years. But then you immediately said it was familiar, which just makes sense haha :)
Do given up by them pleasee
This album (hybridtheory) was the first I ever bought. I wad in high school and it was everywhere, for good reason.. incidentally, I left it in the cd player in the music room for less than 30 minutes and it was gone 😂
Surprised that I don't see these songs mentioned but:
Castle of Glass
Powerless
Chester 💔
RIP Chester 💔
Numb from linkin park would be great to react to
You should really check out one more light
Never ever first time you heard this
🖤🖤
Imagine you never heard in the end even though you were alive at this point
Can you please react to the Song Two of us by Louis Tomlinson? It is a Song about him and his mother about the los when she died because of cancer when she was 43. It is not only a das song, it give Hope too.
In the beginning of the video Chester gets behind the mask. We all wear masks
I think you would have a great time analyzing the song Scars by Papa Roach, another early 2000s rock song
@Therapist Reacts have you listened to Johnny Cashs video of Hurt?
Not yet but it gets requested often so will check it out quite soon
It might be a little heavy for you but if u really want something to unpack and evaluate Chester’s Demons and battle with mental health react to Given up live in Clarkston
Please react to pink’s “family portrait” & linkin park’s “crawling”
You should react to a place for my head by Linkin park.
"How long the singer was holding that note for" bro you need to listen to Given Up
I'd love to hear a reaction to "I Choose Violence" by Jax
