I really agree with you. When it changed to a negative colors, I was like ¿what? but then I understood and in a few seconds later I was like "Take it all out, Mike."
I will be completely crushed like as if a crowd stomped on me and its a Neverending train. I will never forgive myself. InshAllah (May God wills) that Mike, Brad, Dave, Rob, Mark and Kyle and all the other people suffering to stay strong and never ever give up
People always talk about Chester... Yes we lost him... But people lets not lose another... We should care about more who is still here... We must provide all our support to Mike to get back where he belongs...
You expect people to actually care about the living? People don't really care, they have no actual understanding of the overwhelming feelings another human could be feeling. They just take music for granted and then when a big name dies they pretend they are sad. Real life man, you oughta figure it out.
@@andrewvalov1298 Pretend? Man I can't listen to or sing In The End without fighting back tears to this DAY. Maybe you're pretending to be sad. But Chester, despite me having never met him, meant a lot to me. Linkin Park guided me through a lot of bad times. Maybe stop associating every living person on the planet with your own jaded feelings.
@@rashira9610 I am not sad at all, I love Linkin Park for the music they put out, and I certainly wouldn't say I am happy that Chester was in such a mindset that he took his own life. But I am not sad. Your connection is to the music, not the man.
@@rashira9610 Now, that's probably just overdramatic. We can just stop mentioning CB everytime Mike Shinoda posts, imagine how sad you'd be when your friend dies and people keep mentioning his name in every work you've worked on. That's Mike's situation.
I think he's recognized enough. After all, Linkin Park used to be one of the biggest bands in the world. I don't like talking about them in the past tense, but I don't think they will continue.
Most underrated musician? Hybrid Theory alone is is literally one of the most sold albums in recorded history. You could hardly be more wrong if you tried.
squir rel I think they mean not him as another part of LP. Mike as an individual artist. Most people don’t really appreciate what a genius he is, especially when it comes to songwriting and producing. Chester said it in carpool karaoke-that mike was one of the best songwriters of a generation. That’s my take-I don’t wanna speak for what anyone else is saying.
I remember that Chester said Mike is actually one with most passion for music in his group, when they travel together he would see Mike start working on new song, music, beats most of the time anyway, he just keep making music, even if nobody asks him to, nor expected him to make it, he just kept going. Now with Chester's gone, he kept getting more and more message to deliver in his head, and he just need to let it all out. with music. and as a listener and fans i'll hell burnly frickin listen to all of it, gladly.
The question now... does letting it out, get it out? Is there true relief in expression? We naturally think yes, however look at Chester - a great expresser and still everything got the better of him. Sometimes I wonder how this need to express gets so tied into us, that we forget that we should try to express positively as a conscious choice and action. It's not easy, and I love me some "emo" style music, but a bit of lightness and creating positive other worlds can go a long way. I believe what you say that Mike was a big creative force; I liked Fort Minor even if it didn't take off.
Blaze Burner your grammar may not be the best but I agree with you I think mike feels like going “overpower”to cover for Chester they both have/had a lot of passion for music
Mike The loss of Chester was the first time I saw my husband of 7 years acknowledge grief. In 2020 I lost my mother to Suicide. The grief was deep. I found this song in 2021 and shared it with my husband. We talked about the lyrics... In February of 2022 my husband was in an accident and didn't survive... This song. Thank you Mike. Grief needs to be heard... Over and over and over again.
Hey, it's been a year and I just wanted to check in. How are you doing nowadays? I'm so, so sorry for your losses and I send you all the love and strength to keep going even when you wouldn't find a reason to!💜
this one. this song hit me the hardest. there's a sense of closure that I never got after Chester died but this song for some reason is really helping me with that
It hit me so hard as well. One of my best friends died less than two months before Chester. This song describes my grief so well. Every time I feel like I've finally let her go and said goodbye, it only lasts a short while and I keep having to say goodbye to her over and over and over and ... I've got the song on repeat and I'm crying my eyes out as I sing along: Sometimes... Sometimes you don't say goodbye once...
Death is weird man. One minute, someone's there and you're like "ah, no rush in seeing them now, they'll be there tomorrow", but then the next day, they're just... gone. I always wanted to see Linking Park live, and especially Chester. He was my role model growing up. I always figured I'd see them (him) perform one day, and they've been in my country a couple of times, but there was always something that got in the way. Usually money. If I'd known, I'd have made room, but now, that possibility is just completely gone. I won't ever get to see Chester sing live. No one will. His friends won't ever get to hang out with him and his family will never get to hug him anymore. So many things people will never get to do anymore because of one heartbreaking moment. Makes you think man...
I get you, really. I guess a month before his death (don't remember exactly) there was this festival here in my country where Linkin Park was performing. My friend told me to go and man I had the fucking money and you why I didn't go? Because it was gonna be on a day I would work and I was worried about what my boss would say if I asked someone to replace me because of a show. And, as my friend who worked with me was going, she already requested the available person in the place so I would have to find another one and I knew it was gonna be hard. In the time it seemed ok. It seemed I was missing an opportunity but I couldn't imagine it would be the last one. I regret this soooo much. So much.
I live with guilt for the last few months i live close to my grandparents and since i moved a few towns away i stopped by to visit then pops got sick and was told he would have to live in a way that would be to much of a burden and a waybhe didn't want to live so he chose to go peacefully. And it's been hard on me knowing i could have visitied more. But on the words of the late chester. You don't know what got until it's gone.
💯 I never saw them either, for the exact same reason. I always said I’d catch them next time, and now I can’t and it crushes my soul. That’s my silver lining to Chester’s death - I won’t pass on an opportunity to see an artist now.
Me to Chester was my life i looked up to him but all we can do is remember for the amazing artist and writer and who gave linking park there through voice
Shinoda and Bennington, my absolute favorite duo ever. We all feel for Chester's passing, and yet, just imagine what a close friend must feel like by don't seeing that coming.
@@OMAR-vq3yb Mike said he spent more time with Chester than with anyone else in his adult life aside from his wife; they would often hang out even outside the band; were involved with each other's side projects; always rode together even when the band split and traveled in multiple vehicles; constantly praised each other in interviews; called each other their best friend publicly on multiple occasions; and their families are very close too. What makes you say they weren't friends? Because that sounds like a close friendship to me...
I miss Chester too... 😢When I'm listening Mike's album, I burst into tears. He put his heart into it. Thank you, Mike for your work. We're with you trying to cope with the grief. ❤
I am sorry for what caused your loss and grief, and you hit the nail right on the head. Mike put the emotions into these songs of his grief. And so true grief is so complicated
MIKE SHINODA !! M - Multitalented I - Inspiring K - Kind-Hearted E - Eminence S - Simple H - Hard worker I - Icon N - Noble O - Optimist D - Down-to-earth A - Awesome We love you and we are always with you.
It’s been years since Chester passed, and I have avoided listening to anything new until now I just wasn’t ready to hear anything without Chester, or to hear the band moving on This song is perfect
At some points during the song I was really hearing Chester's voice along with yours, Mike. This song brought me to tears, I really miss him. It really breaks me every time I think about what he must have been going through and the fact that my favorite band won't ever be the same. But we have to keep going, it's all that we can do now. Know that you can always reach out and we will all always be here for you. And whenever you decide to put out more content, we will be right by your side supporting you. Stay strong, Mike we love you.
Evelyn Perez It's because it is Chester. He took a sample of 'Final Masquerade' and added it to the part where he harmonizes. I'll look for the interview link. Good ear on you. ☺❤
Hobi Najjar Hey Hobi! There is no one way to deal, friend. Find hobbies, reach out to friends, make sure you’re doing what you can to make yourself healthy and happy. If you’re going through a hard time make sure you reach out! People care, sometimes you just have to ask.
They added prerecorded unused vocals that Chester did. Makes you wonder if this song was supposed to be different and mike changed it when Chester died.
Post Traumatic helped me get through Chester's death. I wasn't friends with Chester but I cannot fathom losing someone so loved. Mike didn't have to share his pain but he did and made it into something beautiful. Chester deserved nothing less.
A lifelong friend of mine took his own life unexpectedly. These songs hit deep. Shock and grief have no instructional manual. This album helps, though.
@@braddivens5179 I feel you, when I heard Mike sing this, my friend also took his life, and brought feelings I haven't felt in a long time when I heard him sing this. R.I.P 2 all the Best friends out there!
When Chester died I just graduated high school and the friends I grew up with. Most of em went there own way and never contact Me. My teacher warned me that when you graduate high school barely any of your friends will be around. So I was alone. But I relied on Chester’s music and then he died I felt alone all over again. I felt sad for him and still miss him. With deceased people in all honesty we don’t move on, we just function. I tried to solve my loneliness with a crush but after years later she accused me that my ocd and intrusive thoughts are just for attention, she would ghost me later and I was back to not being with. I did find friends but that crush situation bothered me. When she ghosted me I was thinking what would’ve Chester said to me if he was here.
1:54 Damn... I remember that room from LP vlogs. That's where Mike would record songs from A Thousand Suns (I believe) and forward, producing and mixing Chesters vocals in the same exact room... Fuck man. That's so hard to do. To sing the song about him, specifically the chorus "You say goodbye over, and over, and over again." In the same room where you made history with him. Fuck. Mike is just such a veteran. If I ever met him, I would just hug him. I would praise him so much for all he's been through, and still conquered. What a warrior
My 22 year old son, Nick lived and loved Linkin Park. I was all in. Love you too. He took his life in the worst way when he drove out to a remote area and put a pistol to his head. We, me and his siblings found him 3 days later. It was Christmas eve. It was raining for 2 days. It don't rain in Arizona. That day will never be forgotten in my mind and long after I am gone, my children will remember this day. Stay strong, look for pain in those you love and don't ignore it...but sometimes you do t have a decision in their decision to end it. Much love to you all. And peace be to you that are in our shoes.
The fact is that we all will never ever stop grieving. Mike is right. But we must acknowledge this means we will carry Chester with us forever too. And there is some beauty in that too. We love you Mike.
True words. In the past six months I must have cried about a hundred times. It doesn't matter if if was a post about the guys or coming across a video of them.
Becca Lauren Becca Lauren if you mean the name of my TH-cam account, it exists since 2012 (maybe even earlier) and I’ve never changed the nickname. Just random nickname, no more :)
Mike, I remember attending the concert at the Hollywood Bowl and seeing you perform. I saw the amount of emotion that you put into that show and while it was great, the amount of emotion in these songs are greater. Thanks for staying strong. #FuckDepression
I just want mike to remember... 'we all fall down, we live somehow, we learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger'. We're with you, Mike. Forever. LP = ❤️
I know you have crossed your line... You may never read this. We'll never stop missing Chester. But know that all of us love you just as much, Mike. You have done amazing things in the last 3 years. Chester would be proud, I like to think.
Mike? Minutes to Midnight was the first album I bought when I was a kid. Thank you for giving me a chance to see you guys live. I had tickets to the Connecticut tour & I’ve been lost since I lost the first band that gave me hope. Thank you so much for not letting the band die. -lifelong fan.
"Am I insane to say the truth is that I dont know" I love this because everybody expects a black and white world of "are you ok?" "Yes/no" but life doesnt work like that
i know ! :)) i woud like to show him people from past 10 years ago still here!! we were young guys listen his songs on the street somewehere in the middle of nowhere in Czech Republic and we loved it.. When they made Linkin Park song Numb in Prag in our Country we though oooh fuck Linkin Park clip from Prag?! AMAZING :))) he needs support now thats why we are here !!! he is not alone !
Yes dude. We are all old fans. And still here for New song .. . The first song I ever listen is "given up".when I was 11 or 12 years old . We are all here to support them again..
This Mike was so overwhelmed with grief, sadness and anger. I'm so happy I saw you in a recent concert and times have changed, old wounds have healed, and you were so happy you are back to what you love, we love you Mike and thanks for everything
There are many songs about grief, and then there’s this one. I’ve never heard this before and it describes just how many people feel when they encounter the loss of someone close. Incredible.
Jesus, Mike... Powerful... Real... More than anyone could ever ask for... How you really feel is much more important than the things you have to say over and over... I hope you know that you have fans you don't have to fake for or be strong for. And I pray that you've got someone in your personal life that can be that shoulder to lean on, to scream at, whatever. Just don't hold it in... P.S. Thank you for sharing this, even though you didn't have to. Us fans are grateful. Truly. I pray you find peace in whatever you do.
A brand new start. And now this song hits harder than ever. Now I know how Mike felt. It's so raw. No wonder it took them seven years and can't believe what they're going through still now
It's funny...songs have different meanings to the people who are listening to them. My best friend who was my partner in a 2man car (we were COPS in Richmond, CA.) was killed while responding to help another Officer. He was declared brain dead within hours....but they had to keep him alive to harvest his organs. He saved many lives but none more important than the lives he saved in his death. During that time.. when they kept him alive I went to the hospital to say goodbye several times because he wasn't completely gone until that day when they took his heart. That was the final goodbye...it's been almost ten years and I still miss him. The only thing that heals is time but you never forget. I still miss BAM and his contagious smile.
I think this song struck a chord with me in a similar way. I lost a friend five years ago and I still find myself saying goodbye. I think it's because when you love someone, you love them in so many ways that it makes sense to have to bid each reason farewell.
i get you.. it's been almost 7 years since my mom died and time heals but you will never forget someone you loved despite that i keep saying goodbye to her, so this song makes me cry 'cause is all true
Amen couldn't of said what you just said any better. Hugs and prayers. I lost my father 6 yrs ago and my step mom who was my other mom for 30 yrs took her life 2 yrs ago. Everyone told me oh stop crying over it they are gone. I have started to pick up the pieces for my teenage son and myself because We have to but I will never forget and I will love and miss them till I go to be with them. TY for your words
Mmm. You have to think too he wrote a lot of Linkin park songs that were sad and depressing as well. I feel for him. Feeling like he might have some deep depression, even before Chester died. Really hope he makes it through
I was not ready to cry today... Was listening to some iconic LP songs after their comeback. But TH-cam decided to show me this again..... We still love you, Chester! 😭
This is such a powerful track, it's got grief, anger, selfishness, love and the fact that you never get closure when you lose someone you love. Love you grandma!
Mike definitely poured his heart out with this song. Linkin Park will be back and stronger than ever. In Mike we Trust. In Chester we Remember and NEVER!! Forget.
This song just reminds you of everyone you lost and makes you sadder. I miss chester, my mum, my brother in law, my gran, my aunt, my sister in law . I saw way to many funerals in a space of 1 ish year. I love that song but it's a reminder everytime I hear it.
i don't think anyone can understand what losing a close and personal friend is like, i know i don't, but you can really hear the pain mike went through after chester' passing i've been that way. But nothing soothed or made the pain go away. we're all here with you mike. its a nice, painful track to listen to.
Less than a month before Chester, on my 17th birthday, my pawpaw killed himself. I may not know what it's like to lose a close friend, but I know something similar.
It sounds like you're torn between anger, frustration, grief and listlessness. I can't imagine what you must've gone though, Mike. Your whole life's work really was in the balance. I myself felt like I couldn't breathe. We love you Mike. May God bless you. And Chester.
My brother died one month ago in a car crash. he was 23. It wasn't his fault, the street was full of snow and ice. Since that day I try every day tp say goodbye and let him go. And every time I fail. And I never knew how to describe that feeling. - Five years ago my dad died of cancer. And 8 months ago Chester saved me when he sang one more light. And now Mike is there, describing exactly what I feel - 'Sometimes you don't say goodbye once, you say goodbye over and over again' - I am so sorry for your loss. I wish all the band members the best and I want them to know that each and every one of us is standing behind them. But I also want to thank Linkin Park, for saving me once again. You make my world so much better. And I am not the only one who thinks like that. Stay strong.
istnichtso _ man, you get all my respect to be able here expressing your loss!! I simply can't imagine that as I still have my parents and bro alive... God bless you alike on your way to go yet until your time comes too.. LP will rise from ashes, Mike is the mastermind, like he always was! Bye
The second half of the second chorus really struck me as it’s been five months since my estranged father died. Trying to produce a documentary while dealing with “What if’s?” puts an emotional strain on me. Mike is giving me words to describe my own grief. Linkin Park has always been there when I needed emotional support while I felt so alone. It was difficult enough to lose Chester, and to have the opportunity to reconcile with my estranged father taken away months later just compounded my grief. I hope we all resolve to keep moving forward. Live our lives how we want to live them. Make Chester Proud!
@istnichtso _ Hugs. Sorry for your loss. You are not alone. Much love as you work through your grief. "Darkness may come. Believe and you will find your way..."
Mortality is beyond my understanding.Now u exist , the next second u don't. All that u ever were , gone for good or for bad who knows.Life is as strange as it can be.
Wow this is real music. Music that comes from passion and is driven by emotion. Alot of the stuff i hear now is like what i had for breakfast or im out in da club yeah. This albym so far has been so heartfelt and it seams like he is growing in confidence each song that comes out. You should be proud of yourself Mike xx
While I totally agree with you, I gotta say sometimes I enjoy the songs about food, lol! Don't be dissing my food ;) But, yeah, this is very passionate, but it's saddening where it's coming from. Good music either way, though
Heidi Baltom i can agree, this is real music what Mike is making now and before this while in Linkin park it is all just really good music and what music should be like.
So here we have 6th anniversary of this very emotional album, very groundbreaking both for us and for mike, i guess it helped to get together after losing Chester. Listening to it daily makes me appreciate that we have such a humble man Mike is ❤
15 years later... I'm still saying goodbye over and over and over again to him... Time heals... but it doesn't fade the love, passion, and hate... It just changes to tolerable... Yes, 15 years later. I miss my husband sometimes. Suicide sucks.
Can't stop saying goodbye Mike, every song, every time, every anniversary... I can't imagine how hard this day must be for you, because this is too hard for me.
Now I'm wondering if those were either Mike's vocals that sound close to Chester's, or if those are Chester's vocals from a demo or other song, just edited for this song. That would be really interesting.
Damn Mike, this is a beautiful tribute. This whole album has me spouting out emotional releases all over the place. I hope you can find a new normal. You guys were and are my heros.
2021, still admiring how brave they all must have been at that time. The band helped me so much throughout my teenage years and Mike's songs echoed in me so hard.
I know Mike will never stop making music because it’s his passion and this is the only way he can express everything he feels. This song is just a perfect example. He goes through so much pain but that boosts his creativity. Without his pain and empathy there would have never been LP. I feel like if Mike was the one who left us, Chester wouldn’t have been able to go on without him. Mike is a real hero for staying strong and a true inspiration for following his dreams. He knows that without music he wont be able to deal with the hole that Chester left in his heart. So I wish I could tell him to continue making songs if that’s the only thing that keeps him going through his sorrow, even if it’s hard to sing and keep going when your friend is gone forever ❤️
Amara Winchester that hit me in my feels music is a passion that will never die. Even if he doesn't see this I want to say that I'm so inspired by mike. He makes me feel when I really don't want to. Some of us can't understand. But we feel how raw the music is. How true and I think for some it hurts us. On a deeper level than we can process. Even us, just fans. How must he feel. I appreciate that you still feed our need mike it rocks me to my core that you're able to continue. We love you. Edit:comma after "us"
I agree. I've always thought of Mike as the glue that kept LP together, but maybe I'm wrong. If Mike had died, I think Chester would be in such tremendous pain that the same result would have happened. I love the fuck out of both of them and it sucks that it comes to this. =[
I've always thought of Chester as the glue that stuck Linkin Park together, and now that he's gone I'm scared Linkin Park will never make another song... :(
Amara Winchester Mike is very essential to LP because he's kind of the one behind a lot of the music & the beats, production stuff, as well as writing. If you're saying Chester wouldn't have been able to go on making music because he couldn't do it without Mike, I personally think he could absolutely still go on (if his mental health allowed him to or that wasn't a part of the equation). Chester was a once in a generation talent. He had a voice unmatched by anyone in his ability to sing in such a beautiful, soft, velvet-like voice. & yet he could also rip off some of the most unbelievable screams. (In "Given Up" he unleashes a scream that lasts for 17 seconds!) He also has an inbetween sound that's kind of a guttural singing voice. He could write some outstanding lyrics. And he also has a bit of musical talent as well. I mean, really, after 17 years seeing Mike do his thing constantly, Chester probably learned a TON and would be just fine continuing to make music. Anyway, my point is Mike & Chester are BOTH equally the glue that is LP. Because no matter which one of them were to pass on or move on, LP would never be the same without those 2 together. But they are both more than capable of carrying on with LP or a legacy of their own, should they choose to do so.

Here after bands comeback. The man must be so proud of himself
Same here :)
The way this is filmed really depicts how erratic his mind must have been after Chester’s passing. Feel better Mike 😢
it was the night of the HollyWood Bowl show
I really agree with you. When it changed to a negative colors, I was like ¿what? but then I understood and in a few seconds later I was like "Take it all out, Mike."
This song is so emotional and I'm glad you did this to honor your best friend. We love you as your fans. Please keep the light going.....
I think this was filmed after the show, but he filmed it like this do depict that specific evening.
HeLi0nPrlmE He filmed this before the Hollywood Bowl show and a day after that.
This is one of the most aggresive and personal rap song that Mike has ever done for a long time
The last one is even more so, but I'm kinda glad he's finally addressed the HT worshippers...
True, Mike really gave underground/oldschool feels to it like good old time FM
What's HT?
HT = Hybrid Theory, FM = Fort Minor
So basically the people who say Hybrid Theory was Linkin Park's peak and they had no merit past that
2024, he revived his lifes work, he did it. Love you mike!

Es facil decirlo cuando no lo conoces (en persona como mike ) es dificil decirle adiós a un amigo

Yeah
Jakes Potgieter agree with you
One of the most emotional pieces of art and music I have ever seen. Push the master of his crafts into a corner and he comes out blazing.
This is literally the best definition of what Mike does.
This should be in a fuckin dictionary
:-;
you seen the music ?
Mari S it sorta is, I remember something very similar in the Art of War
Mike Shinoda - We are not ready to loose you too. Please stay strong and always stay with us. We love you, my dear friend.
I will be completely crushed like as if a crowd stomped on me and its a Neverending train. I will never forgive myself. InshAllah (May God wills) that Mike, Brad, Dave, Rob, Mark and Kyle and all the other people suffering to stay strong and never ever give up
Yeah so true. Mike stay super strong we need you
*Lose*

Never ready. Wasnt ready for Chester, never will be ready for Mike ❤️

The loss of Chester was the first time I saw my husband of 7 years acknowledge grief.
In 2020 I lost my mother to Suicide. The grief was deep.
I found this song in 2021 and shared it with my husband. We talked about the lyrics...
In February of 2022 my husband was in an accident and didn't survive...
This song.
Thank you Mike. Grief needs to be heard... Over and over and over again.
Hey, it's been a year and I just wanted to check in. How are you doing nowadays? I'm so, so sorry for your losses and I send you all the love and strength to keep going even when you wouldn't find a reason to!💜
Omg I'm so sorry for your loss so sad😢😢
How are you now ? Tell us news from you pls 🫶🏼 send you much love from France
How are you
Soryy for your losses.
Seeing this and seeing the videos of recent tours make me feel so happy that Mike is smiling on the stage
this one. this song hit me the hardest. there's a sense of closure that I never got after Chester died but this song for some reason is really helping me with that
i wish i could feel the same but i can’t. we’ll never get this closure and it’s sad.
I agree, though. the sense of closure i'm feeling is no where near where I should be, but it's definitely a start
Totally agree with you :(
100% feel the same way.
It hit me so hard as well. One of my best friends died less than two months before Chester. This song describes my grief so well. Every time I feel like I've finally let her go and said goodbye, it only lasts a short while and I keep having to say goodbye to her over and over and over and ...
I've got the song on repeat and I'm crying my eyes out as I sing along: Sometimes... Sometimes you don't say goodbye once...
Death is weird man. One minute, someone's there and you're like "ah, no rush in seeing them now, they'll be there tomorrow", but then the next day, they're just... gone. I always wanted to see Linking Park live, and especially Chester. He was my role model growing up. I always figured I'd see them (him) perform one day, and they've been in my country a couple of times, but there was always something that got in the way. Usually money. If I'd known, I'd have made room, but now, that possibility is just completely gone. I won't ever get to see Chester sing live. No one will. His friends won't ever get to hang out with him and his family will never get to hug him anymore. So many things people will never get to do anymore because of one heartbreaking moment. Makes you think man...
I get you, really. I guess a month before his death (don't remember exactly) there was this festival here in my country where Linkin Park was performing. My friend told me to go and man I had the fucking money and you why I didn't go? Because it was gonna be on a day I would work and I was worried about what my boss would say if I asked someone to replace me because of a show. And, as my friend who worked with me was going, she already requested the available person in the place so I would have to find another one and I knew it was gonna be hard. In the time it seemed ok. It seemed I was missing an opportunity but I couldn't imagine it would be the last one. I regret this soooo much. So much.
I live with guilt for the last few months i live close to my grandparents and since i moved a few towns away i stopped by to visit then pops got sick and was told he would have to live in a way that would be to much of a burden and a waybhe didn't want to live so he chose to go peacefully. And it's been hard on me knowing i could have visitied more. But on the words of the late chester. You don't know what got until it's gone.
I wish every human reads this comment!!
i always wanted to see him live too. There was an opportunity for me to go see them but I had no money and no one would take me, I am devastated too
💯 I never saw them either, for the exact same reason. I always said I’d catch them next time, and now I can’t and it crushes my soul. That’s my silver lining to Chester’s death - I won’t pass on an opportunity to see an artist now.
I was not ready for this...I'm broken
One piece fan✌️and I think I have seen you somewhere 😂
Damn right
You have to make a theory in this video 😁
I'm ready for anything Linkin park make and i'll always support them
Me to Chester was my life i looked up to him but all we can do is remember for the amazing artist and writer and who gave linking park there through voice
Shinoda and Bennington, my absolute favorite duo ever. We all feel for Chester's passing, and yet, just imagine what a close friend must feel like by don't seeing that coming.
I don't think they were that close like that. More like bros with a working relationship.
@@OMAR-vq3yb right
@@OMAR-vq3yb Mike said he spent more time with Chester than with anyone else in his adult life aside from his wife; they would often hang out even outside the band; were involved with each other's side projects; always rode together even when the band split and traveled in multiple vehicles; constantly praised each other in interviews; called each other their best friend publicly on multiple occasions; and their families are very close too.
What makes you say they weren't friends? Because that sounds like a close friendship to me...
@@OMAR-vq3yb That is why he wrote this, right? OMAR the idiot.
then you are CLEARLY F*CKING STUPID IF YOU ACTUALLY THINK THAT@@OMAR-vq3yb
Such a powerful song. Beautifully done. We love you Mike!
Oh yes, I agree with you. I love your covers man!
You should make a cover of this song man .... ❤❤❤❤
Cole Rolland a guitar cover bro , need it ., #lovelp
i love this song and as a survivor of suicide and of self cutting, I get the message more than ever before.
Please hang in there Christa, those that you would leave behind will not ever get over your loss. Be strong
Mike I can hear the heartbreak in your voice. Trust me, we're all heartbroken too. But all of us support you and are here for you.
Yeah man :-)
Emotional song, thanks Mike!
Yes, well done.
omg my favorite channel for years ♥ ♥
I'm so happy for you. You stayed strong, now the band's back and your wide smile is back. So proud of you, hope you are proud of yourself too.
It's sad that no one ever approaches Mike in the way of "it must be hard...your FRIEND is gone".... It's always "what's the band gonna do?"
quit making him say goodbye maybe. that shit hurts every time. he said what he said.
vitreoushumor it hurts to say goodbye to those close to you
Is it just me or you can hear Chester's voice echoing at the end... gives me the chills.
Yep, I agree too
ME. I'M NOT OKAY. I'M CONFUSED.
yep, its chester's voice..
It's definitely chester's voice
It's him
I still say goodbye over and over again since 1 year now...Still miss him so much!
Great song Mike!
Maggy7187 yesterday was the hardest day since he passed
oh yes :(
😭😭😭😭😭💔
I miss Chester too... 😢When I'm listening Mike's album, I burst into tears. He put his heart into it. Thank you, Mike for your work. We're with you trying to cope with the grief. ❤
Love u
I'm back here after a few years❤️
same
yeah, same here ❤️
The great synchronization
same
Yeap
"And every step I took, I looked and wasn't any closer."
Damn. That line hits me hard. Referencing One Step Closer. Powerful touch.
@@nicholasberry8456 bruh what? it's clearly a reference to one step closer. Mike references a lot LP's old songs in his newer songs
@@zack8865 I think that's what they said lol
Zackary Syam interestingly enough the concepts in both songs and the reference actually conflict with another rather than being parallel
Creepy. I was reading this comment as he sang that line
Grief is so complicated, I never know where I stand. Thank you for the words Mike.
I am sorry for what caused your loss and grief, and you hit the nail right on the head. Mike put the emotions into these songs of his grief. And so true grief is so complicated
is the worst.. just imagine how hard the pain of some LP fans are now but I can't imagine Mike's one, I want to hug him
andrineslife love you mike shinoda i come frome 🇹🇭
Check DPARK. They make a remix of. This song. !!!!!
Grief is when you put your hand all the way to the bottom of the pringles tin and feel nothing.
I know this feeling too well
MIKE SHINODA !!
M - Multitalented I - Inspiring K - Kind-Hearted E - Eminence
S - Simple H - Hard worker I - Icon N - Noble O - Optimist D - Down-to-earth A - Awesome
We love you and we are always with you.
It’s been years since Chester passed, and I have avoided listening to anything new until now
I just wasn’t ready to hear anything without Chester, or to hear the band moving on
This song is perfect
Listen to Mike , he's amazing ❤️
You should listen to the rest of the album if you haven't already.
I would recommend Chester earlier band gray daze it is like cheater is saying goodbye for now
@@matthewjennings9704 😭
well,mike had some solo song of his own even during chester´s live,see his project fort minor 2005 album rising tied
At some points during the song I was really hearing Chester's voice along with yours, Mike. This song brought me to tears, I really miss him. It really breaks me every time I think about what he must have been going through and the fact that my favorite band won't ever be the same. But we have to keep going, it's all that we can do now. Know that you can always reach out and we will all always be here for you. And whenever you decide to put out more content, we will be right by your side supporting you. Stay strong, Mike we love you.
same :(
Hinata Uzumaki uchiha There is a a subtle voice in the background that is reminiscent of Chester’s
Same, think that may have been the idea
Evelyn Perez so beautifull 😢❤️
Evelyn Perez It's because it is Chester. He took a sample of 'Final Masquerade' and added it to the part where he harmonizes. I'll look for the interview link. Good ear on you. ☺❤
Just a master songwriter going through a dark time. Love you Mike!
Branson Evans please tell me how to carry all this sad of chester's death .
Hobi Najjar Hey Hobi! There is no one way to deal, friend. Find hobbies, reach out to friends, make sure you’re doing what you can to make yourself healthy and happy.
If you’re going through a hard time make sure you reach out! People care, sometimes you just have to ask.
It sounds like Chester is singing with u.
You're not alone. Be strong, Mike!
Flor. Eme ikr, especially at the end...
They added prerecorded unused vocals that Chester did. Makes you wonder if this song was supposed to be different and mike changed it when Chester died.
Cody Smith actually Mike has stated several times through Twitter that he did all the backing vocals and was bringing his inner Chester.
Chelsey Young oh, that’s just what I heard. Thanks for clearing it up though that’s awesome
Yes that was eerie -I could audibly hear Chester’s tenor in the background. 🌠
Post Traumatic helped me get through Chester's death. I wasn't friends with Chester but I cannot fathom losing someone so loved. Mike didn't have to share his pain but he did and made it into something beautiful. Chester deserved nothing less.
A lifelong friend of mine took his own life unexpectedly. These songs hit deep. Shock and grief have no instructional manual. This album helps, though.
@@braddivens5179 I feel you, when I heard Mike sing this, my friend also took his life, and brought feelings I haven't felt in a long time when I heard him sing this. R.I.P 2 all the Best friends out there!
When Chester died I just graduated high school and the friends I grew up with. Most of em went there own way and never contact Me. My teacher warned me that when you graduate high school barely any of your friends will be around. So I was alone. But I relied on Chester’s music and then he died I felt alone all over again. I felt sad for him and still miss him. With deceased people in all honesty we don’t move on, we just function. I tried to solve my loneliness with a crush but after years later she accused me that my ocd and intrusive thoughts are just for attention, she would ghost me later and I was back to not being with. I did find friends but that crush situation bothered me. When she ghosted me I was thinking what would’ve Chester said to me if he was here.
This is the same room where he recorded a lot of songs with Chester including waiting for the end and A light that never comes.
This makes me cry.
The feelings come over and over again.
me too
1:54 Damn... I remember that room from LP vlogs. That's where Mike would record songs from A Thousand Suns (I believe) and forward, producing and mixing Chesters vocals in the same exact room... Fuck man. That's so hard to do. To sing the song about him, specifically the chorus "You say goodbye over, and over, and over again." In the same room where you made history with him. Fuck. Mike is just such a veteran. If I ever met him, I would just hug him. I would praise him so much for all he's been through, and still conquered. What a warrior
This man must have gone through so much shit, chester was like family for him as well..
Sid X Official Search " LPTV "
actually it is a Mike's home studio in Mike's house, so...
That makes it that much harder on him
TrinityRourke true!!! I couldn't have said it better.
My 22 year old son, Nick lived and loved Linkin Park. I was all in. Love you too. He took his life in the worst way when he drove out to a remote area and put a pistol to his head. We, me and his siblings found him 3 days later. It was Christmas eve. It was raining for 2 days. It don't rain in Arizona. That day will never be forgotten in my mind and long after I am gone, my children will remember this day. Stay strong, look for pain in those you love and don't ignore it...but sometimes you do t have a decision in their decision to end it. Much love to you all. And peace be to you that are in our shoes.
Sorry for your loss. 😢
I am sorry for your loss sir and may he rest in peace. Best wishes to you and your family.
Sorry for your loss. All the best for you and your family from Germany. Together we are strong 🙏🏼
So sorry for your loss...
So sorry for your loss but some time's music and prayers can help heal us even though it's hard hope your doing well keep safe
The attention to detail: He's wearing the same clothes that he wore at the hollywood bowl during the first verse. I bet you it is not a coincidence.
Check Mike twitter about that. He said that he did the first part of the song in the day of the show.
First part of the song, not the music video. It could have been another outfit in the video, but he chose to use the same outfit, because of that.
he was filming video and recording the songs simultaneously, so yeah it probably was filmed the same day
He wrote the song that night. verse one before the show. verse two after it.
Jskid666 he said tonight is the night of the show.
I can feel the aggression and pain in this rap.
Finally we see what Mike feels... so raw and so emotional...
The fact is that we all will never ever stop grieving. Mike is right. But we must acknowledge this means we will carry Chester with us forever too. And there is some beauty in that too. We love you Mike.
Kimura This EP is Mike's work outside of LP,Like his Fort Minor Stuff
there's some beauty in this pain :'(
True words. In the past six months I must have cried about a hundred times. It doesn't matter if if was a post about the guys or coming across a video of them.
Thank you Jennifer. I feel your pain! We will all be here for each other. You are not alone.
I’m glad you’re doing better, Mike
Mike.
You are incredible.
I just have no words
You are magic.
Magic Mike.
@@lilianalamela5820 Magic Shinoda
Si
Those are words.
Strong words, I felt your grief while listening to this masterpiece. Stay strong, We'll always be with you.
Honestly, I have no words. Wow... 👏I’m speechless. Thousand of emotions. And really a lot to think about.
this song is amazing! but your screen name...OMG....LOL
Becca Lauren Becca Lauren if you mean the name of my TH-cam account, it exists since 2012 (maybe even earlier) and I’ve never changed the nickname. Just random nickname, no more :)
no matter how often I listen to this... I still feel the pain
ikr...every time it hits as hard as it did on the first listen.
Because it's real.Its REAL.
Mike, I remember attending the concert at the Hollywood Bowl and seeing you perform. I saw the amount of emotion that you put into that show and while it was great, the amount of emotion in these songs are greater. Thanks for staying strong. #FuckDepression
I just want mike to remember...
'we all fall down, we live somehow, we learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger'.
We're with you, Mike.
Forever.
LP = ❤️
TheSoulStirrer Sharp edges :')
TheSoulStirrer Love that song
I love that song. It has so much meaning to it. When I read this comment, it brought a couple tears to my eyes
Sometimes its, What doesnt kill us, makes us wish we were dead tho..
Nahyan Khan no mate.
It's an extract from Linkin Park 's song sharp edges
I know you have crossed your line... You may never read this. We'll never stop missing Chester. But know that all of us love you just as much, Mike. You have done amazing things in the last 3 years. Chester would be proud, I like to think.
This song captures the the essence of the process of grief for those of us that have been and are currently going through it.
You just summed it up perfectly ❤
Let's get these songs trending
Karan im hearing them all day
Please.
On it 👍👍
I never even knew this was out.I will be buying it tonight
+darren4mc lol

Ahhh everybody needs to see this comment, boost, boost
And so the Memes started again!
Holy shit. This is super raw. Ripped straight from the gut. Let's fucking go Mike. Do Chester proud.
Mike?
Minutes to Midnight was the first album I bought when I was a kid.
Thank you for giving me a chance to see you guys live.
I had tickets to the Connecticut tour & I’ve been lost since I lost the first band that gave me hope.
Thank you so much for not letting the band die.
-lifelong fan.
"Am I insane to say the truth is that I dont know" I love this because everybody expects a black and white world of "are you ok?" "Yes/no" but life doesnt work like that
Chester must be so proud of him
LOVE Shinoda!
Mike is wearing the same clothes that he used in the concert in honor of Chester.
Daniel Quintero I imagine it was filmed on the evening on the concert cuz he’s talking about it in the song as well
Yeah, I feel that it was shot and recorded at that time but its been kept away until a time he's ready to release it
It musta been before the concert. Look how thin he is :(
The lyrics say it, was written the day of the concert
Daniel Quintero it's clothes lol.
It gives me goosebumps.
10% luck 20% skill 15% concentrated power of will 5% pleasure 50% pain and a 100% reason to remember the name !!! ✯Mike Shinoda✯
BLEO it also a song of Linkin Park
i know ! :)) i woud like to show him people from past 10 years ago still here!! we were young guys listen his songs on the street somewehere in the middle of nowhere in Czech Republic and we loved it.. When they made Linkin Park song Numb in Prag in our Country we though oooh fuck Linkin Park clip from Prag?! AMAZING :))) he needs support now thats why we are here !!! he is not alone !
Yes dude. We are all old fans. And still here for New song .. . The first song I ever listen is "given up".when I was 11 or 12 years old . We are all here to support them again..
+Undesirable THINGS "Remember The Name" is a Fort Minor song, Mike Shinoda's Hip-Hop side project and not a Linkin Park song.
BLEO
To mě vždycky potěší, když potkám českýho LP fanouška :-)
This Mike was so overwhelmed with grief, sadness and anger.
I'm so happy I saw you in a recent concert and times have changed, old wounds have healed, and you were so happy you are back to what you love, we love you Mike and thanks for everything
I wanna hug you Mike ... we miss him so much buddy :'(
It's been over 3 years and I'm still in shock. Rest in peace Chester 🙏🏽
18 days until it's been 3 years
Still hits hard.
5 yrs now
This hit me real hard. Its so pure. I miss you Chester..
FantasyLeila me to
There are many songs about grief, and then there’s this one. I’ve never heard this before and it describes just how many people feel when they encounter the loss of someone close. Incredible.
Jesus, Mike... Powerful... Real... More than anyone could ever ask for... How you really feel is much more important than the things you have to say over and over... I hope you know that you have fans you don't have to fake for or be strong for. And I pray that you've got someone in your personal life that can be that shoulder to lean on, to scream at, whatever. Just don't hold it in... P.S. Thank you for sharing this, even though you didn't have to. Us fans are grateful. Truly. I pray you find peace in whatever you do.
One Of The Most Underrated Rapper 😭😭😭😭
vardaan kumar Very much agreed 🎶
Agree 😭😭😭😭😭
This man will never realize how talented he truly is.
Best song on TH-cam. I will play it over and over and over again
MR. N00B0DY I see what you did there. To you, I'll say goodbye once.
Samuel Amador good one
A brand new start. And now this song hits harder than ever. Now I know how Mike felt. It's so raw. No wonder it took them seven years and can't believe what they're going through still now
It's funny...songs have different meanings to the people who are listening to them. My best friend who was my partner in a 2man car (we were COPS in Richmond, CA.) was killed while responding to help another Officer. He was declared brain dead within hours....but they had to keep him alive to harvest his organs. He saved many lives but none more important than the lives he saved in his death. During that time.. when they kept him alive I went to the hospital to say goodbye several times because he wasn't completely gone until that day when they took his heart. That was the final goodbye...it's been almost ten years and I still miss him. The only thing that heals is time but you never forget. I still miss BAM and his contagious smile.
I think this song struck a chord with me in a similar way. I lost a friend five years ago and I still find myself saying goodbye. I think it's because when you love someone, you love them in so many ways that it makes sense to have to bid each reason farewell.
i get you.. it's been almost 7 years since my mom died and time heals but you will never forget someone you loved despite that i keep saying goodbye to her, so this song makes me cry 'cause is all true
poor guy
1339/0311 ❤💔💓
Amen couldn't of said what you just said any better. Hugs and prayers. I lost my father 6 yrs ago and my step mom who was my other mom for 30 yrs took her life 2 yrs ago. Everyone told me oh stop crying over it they are gone. I have started to pick up the pieces for my teenage son and myself because We have to but I will never forget and I will love and miss them till I go to be with them. TY for your words
Oh Mike. It made me cry.. raw and so beautiful. Miss Chester so fucking much. Its not any easier...
Please be strong .... love u Mike. xx
Mmm. You have to think too he wrote a lot of Linkin park songs that were sad and depressing as well. I feel for him. Feeling like he might have some deep depression, even before Chester died. Really hope he makes it through
Just...
Felps vc por aqui, essa música é maravilhosa
pensei em vc por um segundo enquanto escutava essa música bem agr..
Eae felpo
Fellllllpsss
Felps sdds do Chester ;-;
I was not ready to cry today...
Was listening to some iconic LP songs after their comeback.
But TH-cam decided to show me this again.....
We still love you, Chester! 😭
Please Mike, hold on. I know it's gonna be ok. I don't know how, but it will. Please God help
Mari Khorsheva ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mari Khorsheva lo
You have no idea how I want to hug you tight right now and tell you that everything will be just fine.
Valeria 'Lux' Favoccia same
This should be trending
It is trending
RƏAT9 Your right
This is such a powerful track, it's got grief, anger, selfishness, love and the fact that you never get closure when you lose someone you love. Love you grandma!
Stay strong...Mike💕
I don't know why but I cry and feel worry about you Mike
The video describe how much anger he has inside him, amazing song, with a real personal experience video
Mike definitely poured his heart out with this song. Linkin Park will be back and stronger than ever. In Mike we Trust. In Chester we Remember and NEVER!! Forget.
For those that have suffered loss, hurting in pain, souls crying out for help. This song's for you! We love ya Mike
This song just reminds you of everyone you lost and makes you sadder. I miss chester, my mum, my brother in law, my gran, my aunt, my sister in law . I saw way to many funerals in a space of 1 ish year. I love that song but it's a reminder everytime I hear it.
i don't think anyone can understand what losing a close and personal friend is like, i know i don't, but you can really hear the pain mike went through after chester' passing i've been that way. But nothing soothed or made the pain go away. we're all here with you mike. its a nice, painful track to listen to.
Less than a month before Chester, on my 17th birthday, my pawpaw killed himself. I may not know what it's like to lose a close friend, but I know something similar.
Bit harsh!
@@anthc140 yupp
I lost my grandfather 3 months after Chester passed to suicide. So yeah I can relate
I do. Its the worst possible feeling I have ever gone through.
Who's still coming back to this album time and time again?
Indeed
Over and over and over again
Every day.
Everyday bro
Absolutely
"It's good to see you again!"
It sounds like you're torn between anger, frustration, grief and listlessness. I can't imagine what you must've gone though, Mike. Your whole life's work really was in the balance. I myself felt like I couldn't breathe. We love you Mike. May God bless you. And Chester.
Bulbul Shakib oh yeah hi!
My brother died one month ago in a car crash. he was 23. It wasn't his fault, the street was full of snow and ice. Since that day I try every day tp say goodbye and let him go. And every time I fail. And I never knew how to describe that feeling. - Five years ago my dad died of cancer. And 8 months ago Chester saved me when he sang one more light. And now Mike is there, describing exactly what I feel - 'Sometimes you don't say goodbye once, you say goodbye over and over again' -
I am so sorry for your loss. I wish all the band members the best and I want them to know that each and every one of us is standing behind them.
But I also want to thank Linkin Park, for saving me once again. You make my world so much better. And I am not the only one who thinks like that. Stay strong.
istnichtso _ man, you get all my respect to be able here expressing your loss!! I simply can't imagine that as I still have my parents and bro alive... God bless you alike on your way to go yet until your time comes too.. LP will rise from ashes, Mike is the mastermind, like he always was! Bye
The second half of the second chorus really struck me as it’s been five months since my estranged father died. Trying to produce a documentary while dealing with “What if’s?” puts an emotional strain on me. Mike is giving me words to describe my own grief.
Linkin Park has always been there when I needed emotional support while I felt so alone. It was difficult enough to lose Chester, and to have the opportunity to reconcile with my estranged father taken away months later just compounded my grief.
I hope we all resolve to keep moving forward. Live our lives how we want to live them. Make Chester Proud!
@istnichtso _ Hugs. Sorry for your loss. You are not alone. Much love as you work through your grief. "Darkness may come. Believe and you will find your way..."
Mortality is beyond my understanding.Now u exist , the next second u don't. All that u ever were , gone for good or for bad who knows.Life is as strange as it can be.
Wow this is real music. Music that comes from passion and is driven by emotion. Alot of the stuff i hear now is like what i had for breakfast or im out in da club yeah. This albym so far has been so heartfelt and it seams like he is growing in confidence each song that comes out. You should be proud of yourself Mike xx
Heidi Baltom Your second sentence explains it all, such a powerful statement, thanks for saying that!
While I totally agree with you, I gotta say sometimes I enjoy the songs about food, lol! Don't be dissing my food ;)
But, yeah, this is very passionate, but it's saddening where it's coming from. Good music either way, though
Heidi Baltom i can agree, this is real music what Mike is making now and before this while in Linkin park it is all just really good music and what music should be like.
this music is crap i'm going back to the 80s
Still miss you chester,
Thank you for such a great time!!!!
So here we have 6th anniversary of this very emotional album, very groundbreaking both for us and for mike, i guess it helped to get together after losing Chester. Listening to it daily makes me appreciate that we have such a humble man Mike is ❤
MIKE SHINODA IS A RESILIENT CREATIVE GENIUS, LOVE & RESPECT, RIP CHESTER!
I'm half expecting Chester to do backup vocals.
I think he included Chester’s voice at 1:51, I may be wrong tho. Powerful song never the less
... yeah...... yeah
Knoedler he didn't use chesters. However he did state he was channeling his inner Chester on Facebook!
Max Miller oh thanks! I wasn’t sure, thanks!
AwpWilliams same 😢😭😭
15 years later... I'm still saying goodbye over and over and over again to him...
Time heals... but it doesn't fade the love, passion, and hate... It just changes to tolerable... Yes, 15 years later. I miss my husband sometimes. Suicide sucks.
I would like to give you a hug, dear... My dad suicided 23 years back. Time doesn't heal
"time won't heal this damage anymore"
~LP - Faint
It really does
I would hug you both, so tight!
I want to hug you 😭
Can't stop saying goodbye Mike, every song, every time, every anniversary... I can't imagine how hard this day must be for you, because this is too hard for me.
Can't stop my tears. I miss him too! A big virtual hug to you, Mike. Love from Malaysia. :"|
udasan same
*and i keep replaying this song over and over again*
so true
Same!
I can hear Chester's voice at 3:36
Stefano 98 didnt hear that the first time. Thanks for pointing that out
Now I'm wondering if those were either Mike's vocals that sound close to Chester's, or if those are Chester's vocals from a demo or other song, just edited for this song. That would be really interesting.
I cant say if its Mike's voice or Chester's. Hard to know.
It's Mike Voice. Our brains are accustomed to the back vocals of Linkin Park which most of time. Is Mike voice
:D
Thanks for all Mike, you made it
It sounds like Chester doing the back up singing at 3:34... chilling...
It does
Scary, and very saddening...
It does. Wow, pinpointing that spot gave me goosebumps :(
First time I heard it and think like you but that is a high pitch of mike.
he probably have lots of chester's recordings.
Sometimes, sometimes this song doesn't make me cry once
It makes me cry over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
same brother.
Same!
Lost a best friend this week. This song really hits deep.
I’m listening to it, on the verge of throwing up man
Damn Mike, this is a beautiful tribute. This whole album has me spouting out emotional releases all over the place. I hope you can find a new normal. You guys were and are my heros.
2021, still admiring how brave they all must have been at that time. The band helped me so much throughout my teenage years and Mike's songs echoed in me so hard.
I know Mike will never stop making music because it’s his passion and this is the only way he can express everything he feels. This song is just a perfect example. He goes through so much pain but that boosts his creativity. Without his pain and empathy there would have never been LP. I feel like if Mike was the one who left us, Chester wouldn’t have been able to go on without him. Mike is a real hero for staying strong and a true inspiration for following his dreams. He knows that without music he wont be able to deal with the hole that Chester left in his heart. So I wish I could tell him to continue making songs if that’s the only thing that keeps him going through his sorrow, even if it’s hard to sing and keep going when your friend is gone forever ❤️
Amara Winchester that hit me in my feels music is a passion that will never die. Even if he doesn't see this I want to say that I'm so inspired by mike. He makes me feel when I really don't want to. Some of us can't understand. But we feel how raw the music is. How true and I think for some it hurts us. On a deeper level than we can process. Even us, just fans. How must he feel. I appreciate that you still feed our need mike it rocks me to my core that you're able to continue. We love you.
Edit:comma after "us"
I agree. I've always thought of Mike as the glue that kept LP together, but maybe I'm wrong. If Mike had died, I think Chester would be in such tremendous pain that the same result would have happened. I love the fuck out of both of them and it sucks that it comes to this. =[
I've always thought of Chester as the glue that stuck Linkin Park together, and now that he's gone I'm scared Linkin Park will never make another song... :(
Amara Winchester Mike is very essential to LP because he's kind of the one behind a lot of the music & the beats, production stuff, as well as writing. If you're saying Chester wouldn't have been able to go on making music because he couldn't do it without Mike, I personally think he could absolutely still go on (if his mental health allowed him to or that wasn't a part of the equation). Chester was a once in a generation talent. He had a voice unmatched by anyone in his ability to sing in such a beautiful, soft, velvet-like voice. & yet he could also rip off some of the most unbelievable screams. (In "Given Up" he unleashes a scream that lasts for 17 seconds!) He also has an inbetween sound that's kind of a guttural singing voice. He could write some outstanding lyrics. And he also has a bit of musical talent as well. I mean, really, after 17 years seeing Mike do his thing constantly, Chester probably learned a TON and would be just fine continuing to make music. Anyway, my point is Mike & Chester are BOTH equally the glue that is LP. Because no matter which one of them were to pass on or move on, LP would never be the same without those 2 together.
But they are both more than capable of carrying on with LP or a legacy of their own, should they choose to do so.
