To think of all the times I spent crying while listening to this song, contemplating suicide when I was younger and now feeling totally different, at peace and much older...I feel so old but I'm glad that I'm still alive today. Love this song.
was the same myself. always wanted to die in december so this could b played at my cremation. those feelings have gone but im not nieve to believe they r gone for good. im just a lot more humble now. glad u r still here.
A voice that can never be replaced💔 RIP Chester. Thank you for your meaningful lyrics, that got a lot of us out of dark times. Wish we could've done more for you, wish you could've seen yourself through our eyes. Rest easy.
RaelenThePedobear666 One of my co-workers said it's crazy how accurate I can sound like Chester (screaming voice) I can't really sound like soft voice Chester though
This song has always wrapped me in some type of comfort. Alone, weird, depressed, outcasted. And somehow this song brings me to my peace. R.I.P. Chester you touched many lives out there and gave us comfort.
I used to listen to this song each time I went through an insanely depressed time where I seriously considered ending my life. The song made the idea of suicide even more appealing because of how sad of a song it is. Hearing the recent news of Chesters passing, I am not surprised at all that the guy writing/singing this song is gone as the result of suicide. You can usually relate to someones pain when you're sad, whether you know them or not. I think this song makes that pretty clear. Rest in peace man.
I’m glad you chose life. Everyone is worthy of life. Way back in high school I had a friend who took her own life. She was schizophrenic and was too scared to reach out for help from friends and professionals. Ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
It's funny, I listen to this almost every December, including the last... Yet, that feels just like yesterday, and December will be around the corner sooner than we think... it's crazy where the year goes... EDIT: And it's going to be much harder to listen to this December... #RIPChesterBennington
Since Chester's passing, I haven't cried at all and now I've been listening to "Heavy" and "My December " and going through some Linkin Park songs, I've basically started grieving and crying for him today. I can't imagine this world without the great Chester Bennington. His voice got me through some dark days in my earlier years and I owe it to him and Linkin Park. Rest easy and fly high Ches. I ❤️ U and your fans ❤️ U.
Chester, I'll never know how many demons you carried on your shoulders, and I'll never know what kind of a toll that took on your mental state, and for how long. Even though you lost the battle, you are still one of the greatest and most influential vocalists I've known. Yours and Linkin Park's music did so many things and saved me from so many hard, and extremely trying times. As a person who has and still goes through this same battle of depression and has contemplated suicide myself, even self harming, just know that your music impacted my life in ways that truly helped save my life. Thank you for all that you've done for me, and thank you for leaving this world the greatest gift you could offer, your voice. Much love to you, and rest in piece.
Your words are mines. It's so hard knowing he's gone but even now I'm still battling my demons and depression and his songs and voice give me a little hope.
This song brings me back to my last semester in college when i had to drop out after suffering a brain injury on December 22nd 1999. My lifes been rough since and ive almost taken my life but something inside me tells me im here and was saved for a reason. Thanks for making a great and powerful song, R.I.P Chester i pray n hope your in a better place brotha...
Reminds me of when I was 14 and pissed at life and this song was the only thing that put me to sleep. I wish I could give my 14 year old self a hug, how wonderful and innocent she was. She just wanted to fit in.
Am I the only person who is happier in the winter and more depressed in the summer??? The winter is the only time I am truly happy. I love this song a lot, it describes my emotions at this difficult time myself and my family are going through, this band is helping me get through one of the worst things in life and I am grateful.
Damn cuzzy, sorry for the loss. This song can hit home in so many areas, but for you my friend, I couldn't imagine. Smile she's outta this crazy mess we call world
+Ronny Xavier I will show my kids Linkin Park,Pokemon,YuGiOh and all the good old stuff when I will have some in the future... they need to know how great it was
This song I dedicated to my mother who passed away on December 9 2001 when I was 12 years old. after this song and in the end it always reminds me of her and these 2 songs made Linkin Park my favorite band all through out my teens. when I got the news of chester passing away it almost hit me as just as hard as he helped me get through the dark times and kept me from committing suicide when I was depressed. to you Chester Bennington, I will always love you and you are my hero. I want to thank you for everything you have done as your doing has helped millions of people like me and I hope you found the peace you were looking for and may you rest in piece. you will never be forgotten and you will always have a place in my heart next to my mother. RIP Linda Martin RIP Chester Bennington. Much Love
Not even December and I’m still hear listening to this song for the past 10 years.. and still alone wishing I can just have somewhere to go to and someone to go home to😔 song is amazing how well it fits my life still.
Im back again. Another lonely december. Im surrounded by people but yet, im still alone. Gone are the days when I wake up to my little 4 year old baby boy waking me up by jumping on the bed and crawling on top of me. How can the woman I once loved so much, take everything from me. I dont care about cars, or houses, nor shoes or clothes. I just want to spend some time with my son... This is my december.. 2017... Dont slave away to your job... Dont pledge loyalty to a fake flag ruled by deciving lairs and hipocrates. Dont cherrish material things. Dont get caught up in crazy church dogmas. Free yourselfs and spend time with your loved ones. You truly dont know what you have until you loose them. Nothing can replace the care and love of family. Make sure you fall in love with someone not because of their looks or money, but because of understanding and real love. Lust is not love and to true love is beyond lust. Some people just dont appreciate what they have. Now my ex hates her new man because hes an ass hole. But fuck that... All i want is my son and nothing more. Guys, go Mgtow.
Thank you for your words. I hope that since then that you have found some piece of happiness, really. I read your advice and it hit me hard, like f0ckin really hard. Stay strong, stay you.
@@gmoney7784 Thanks for the kind words. I wish you well, im hanging in there. Life has many twist and turns. Im now fighting for custody of my boy. My ex and her man where cought in a dui and the child was left alone with no babysitter and hes only 6. Im fighting for custody and i pretty much have it in the bag. Take care and thank you for the kind words.
#MyDecember2016 Last year I proposed that every year we all meet here on this video in December. So how's everyone? :D How was your year, and what are some things that you learned this year that might be worth sharing?
Viratx Doodle so you were that guy. :D I'm fine, and this year has mainly been good for me. Something i learned in 2016 was that everyone's time is limited, this realisation is pretty scary and eye-opening.
i look through these comments and i see people like me, hurt and depressed. i would be glad to meet every single one of you, i can see you are good people, kind and innocent. i feel alone, but LP brought me in touch with people who i can relate with. if someone needs to speak with someone you can post a comment. and keep listening to the good music. i love you all. (i dont know if my english is good, im still learning so excuse my mistakes)
GoRdirty30jd hello. thanks, i really enjoy learning english but i have a bad teacher so im not sure how correct i speak. i just know i can make myself understood
As an arizonan just like chester this song is special. There is nothing more beautiful than feeling that breeze starting in november and to feel the clean cool air in your lungs. As im going through a break up, nothing fits more than hearing him express how much he loves winter, but is willing to give it all up just for a special girl to take away his hear break.
Listened to this when I was a kid. 28 and still listening. Always and forever. RIP Chester. We love you. Your music made a difference in all our lives.
I'm crying as I write this to you, but I hope you're at peace now..we all love and will miss you so much. I'm so sorry we couldn't help you when you were hurting..but we will continue to love you and will always remember you. Sincerely, someone you saved..
Rest In Peace Chester. Years of my childhood were spent listening to your voice. I started my day on the elementary school bus listening to Hybrid Theory on my portable CD player. It gave me the strength to get through the day. I listened to your music before bed.. I fell asleep listening to your voice. I wore several players out listening to Hybrid Theory. It was my soundtrack to everything for years. I felt the rage and suffering being expressed in your voice.. listening to you express those emotions through music was the only outlet I had for my own frustration and anger. Although you could not find the cure for your own suffering you helped appease the suffering of so many through music.. This is my heartfelt thank you for what you contributed to the world.
Ken LI I did the exact same thing! Hybrid theory was my anthem at 13, I drew the album cover soldier on my arm and touched it up every night while singing with Chester's pained lyrics on my diskman ... nothing helped me more to evacuate the loneliness and pain I felt that no one else understood. Chester feels more like a friend, I feel like I've lost a close friend and it hurts so much
R.I.P Chester!!! This song got me through some hard times and i wish it couldve done the same for you. Ill never forget seeing you guys at live 8 in Philly '05.. Hope you are at peace and not suffering with the demons anymore. See you on the other side brotha...
Coming back to this for Chester. ❤️ You were like a good friend I would listen to growing up. RIP Friend. You were one of the few highlights I had growing up. This hits so hard on the inside. 😢
This song has told me that not everyone has the good life. What Chester Bennington says in this song is that he would give up everything to have someone care about him. Others think differently. So many people choose to run away, if the family care or not, it depends on how that person interprits what goes on at home. So many choose run, be thankful that you still have family there for you, always and forever.
yup, for some reason many love to complain about their fucked up childhoods and/or about how their parents ruined their life...I'm not judging, there was a time where also I used to blame them for my misfortunes and I even ran away for a couple of weeks, but that's just wrong (and kind of childish btw)
Matt Evans as I've said, I'm not judging because I've done the same thing. and yeah, I don't know what you've been through, same way as you don't know what I've been through...but if I had kept on blaming my family for not being there for me while shit was happening to me, I'd just be finding lame excuses for not growing some balls and move on...I just wanted to emphasise that it's not really their fault and that we shouldn't blame them, I didn't mean to offend anyone...stay cool Matt =)
@ kiley fugel problem is this song is largely about the crippling effects of depression and how alienated it makes one feel. Even in a room full of people that love you a severely depressed person can feel completely alone, hated, unloved and the most worthless piece of trash. even if it couldn't be farther from the truth.
This is a rough one all things considered now that chester left us this year, but I always listen to it every year and I always will.. Rest in peace chester
Remembering listening to this song over and over during my dark teenage days...one of the best song ever..LP songs helped a lot people through their dark time...RIP Chester...Hope you find peace wherever you are....
Oh my heart.... when I was younger I would listen to Linken Park... jam to their voices and instruments... I paused them for a while.... now that Chester is gone... knowing we will never hear another musical note.... a hymn. . . I can't stop listening. . .
I lost my dad in 2021. Holidays haven't been the same without him, and last year and this year I've just listened to this song on loop and cried. I miss him every day.
Rip Chester. I didn't know you personally. But, your lyrics and voice through out the years brought me peace within myself emotionally. And I thank you for that. I wish I knew you personally. Because, your voice and how you did your work was and still is amazing. You brought a lot of voices for a lot of people that couldn't express themselves. Your fans were and still are a reflection of you. We all love you. Fly high♡
I always listen to this song when the first snow fall hits each year, covering the trees. It just makes me feel so at peace and thankful for everything I have in my life. I miss Chester everyday ❤ Linkin Park will always be my favorite band!
One year ago, I was left in a bitter cold and unyielding state.. by the loss of a man who spoke directly to my soul. Today is my December, and I will never stop missing him. I will always feel like a piece of me is missing. R.I.P Chester.
Such a good song, it's a favourite of mine from Linkin Park. I miss Chester and honestly the music won't be the same without him. I'm happy to have seen him perform live once, he was a awesome singer. Linkin Park's music made me think and helped me in the past. Anyway hope the rest of you are having a decent December, stay safe and peace be with you all.
I still can't believe that he is gone. I cried when I found out about his suicide and cry when I hear his music. Linkin Park brings me back to my high school days when I would listen to "My December" on repeat mode, sulking in my depression. Life is mysterious, an enigma. What is the point of all this?
It's currently December. It's night time. Just hit midnight. I feel depressed and I've been crying since I came to bed. But I feel at peace when I listen to this.
My dad died December 31st 2016.... This speaks in volumes to me for a number of reasons. I’d give it all away just to see my dad one more time. Anything. I was a huge fan of LP. Chester’s voice alone.. and the lyrics got me through the roughest of times growing up. I carry a lot of demons. Knowing someone else shares that nefarious dread, and can still make people smile with stay with me forever. It is my strength. Thank you Chester. -someone you saved
I will be nothing right now without chester his voice Because he’s helping me trough a lot of pain and i can thank him enough i love you soooo much chester it’s a damn shame that YOU have to leave this planet We all miss you ❤️😔R.I.P Chester Bennington😔❤️
RIP Chester. Your voice and the songs of LP were there for me when I needed them. This particular song struck a chord with me when I first heard it and every so often I come back to it when I need a bit of emotional catharsis. You may be gone but you will not be forgotten. Condolences to his family, band mates, friends, and fans.
I'm listening to this every day of December, it's a tradition and I don't listen to this song apart from when it's December. It's the same with Valentines day.
When this song came out,I was in a difficult situation. I would cry myself to sleep while listening to this song on my Walkman. How I contemplated whether to run away from home or to just completely let go of life. And now I am listening to this and crying again for different reason. Chester is gone and it hurts so fucking bad,never knew it could hurt this bad. I love Linkin Park,every single one them in this band. Without one of them,it won't be the same. Whatever happens to Linkin Park after this,I will stand behind them. Chester will forever be missed and I hope Mike,Brad,Joe,Rob and Dave will continue making music,just like when Chester was around and in honour of Chester 💔
Here again.
Just like you the reader.
In the middle of a pandemic when there's no hope.
This is our December.
Give it all away ❤️
Human beings deserve Corona. They have Invited this.
I propose every year in December, we all meet here on this video. Who's in?
Way ahead of you, talk to you a year from now.
+Viratx Doodle see you in a year.
me too
+Viratx Doodle see you in a year
No one forget. I need this. See you all then.
To think of all the times I spent crying while listening to this song, contemplating suicide when I was younger and now feeling totally different, at peace and much older...I feel so old but I'm glad that I'm still alive today. Love this song.
Glad you're still here to enjoy this song with us.
Woah...same here
was the same myself. always wanted to die in december so this could b played at my cremation. those feelings have gone but im not nieve to believe they r gone for good. im just a lot more humble now. glad u r still here.
Yeah wow same, but it's always gets better in the end
Marcus Mariota Nope, sorry. I don't feel suicidal today and I'm doing amazing in life. Nice try though ;)
A voice that can never be replaced💔 RIP Chester. Thank you for your meaningful lyrics, that got a lot of us out of dark times. Wish we could've done more for you, wish you could've seen yourself through our eyes. Rest easy.
I feel this song so much plus I was born on December 3 93 no lie
+RaelenThePedobear666 you must be very proud of yourself.
RaelenThePedobear666 One of my co-workers said it's crazy how accurate I can sound like Chester (screaming voice) I can't really sound like soft voice Chester though
Well said ma’am
Tracey beautiful well said my thoughts exactly...
This song has always wrapped me in some type of comfort. Alone, weird, depressed, outcasted. And somehow this song brings me to my peace. R.I.P. Chester you touched many lives out there and gave us comfort.
I feel you 💗
I used to listen to this song each time I went through an insanely depressed time where I seriously considered ending my life.

I'm glad you never did it. I hope you're able to stay happy or positive (enough) to stick around. Good luck, friend.
I wish I could take my own pain away. All these people it's practically making me crazy. If I weren't for my music. I'd be dead already.
I understand. The song has that sad and depressing feel to it.
I’m glad you chose life. Everyone is worthy of life. Way back in high school I had a friend who took her own life. She was schizophrenic and was too scared to reach out for help from friends and professionals. Ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Beautiful comment. I hope that your doing much better.
It's funny, I listen to this almost every December, including the last... Yet, that feels just like yesterday, and December will be around the corner sooner than we think... it's crazy where the year goes...

Still to go, December 2021

Caspar Hauser Rest in peace Chester 😭😭😭😭

goodbye Chester! Thanks for everything!
So since it's December again, I'd like to welcome you to another a month long listening session
Its a hymn for all of my melancholic thoughts, hymn of my youth! Love you Chester!
Coming back to this for Chester. ❤️ You were like a good friend I would listen to growing up. RIP Friend. You were one of the few highlights I had growing up. This hits so hard on the inside. 😢
This song has so much meaning
Listening to this song in October as well as the rest of the year!!! One of my fav LP songs!! 👍
RIP Chester your pain made beautiful music and help me and so many others threw alot of tough times. Im literally broken over this.
this is one of my favorite LP songs ever! it shows the softer side of the band
rest in peace Chester Bennington. this song will forever be my favorite. thank you for giving us your music.
I just heard the news, this was the first song I wanted to go to.
DeadlySickness same here. it's heartbreaking.
This song has told me that not everyone has the good life. What Chester Bennington says in this song is that he would give up everything to have someone care about him. Others think differently. So many people choose to run away, if the family care or not, it depends on how that person interprits what goes on at home. So many choose run, be thankful that you still have family there for you, always and forever.
yup, for some reason many love to complain about their fucked up childhoods and/or about how their parents ruined their life...I'm not judging, there was a time where also I used to blame them for my misfortunes and I even ran away for a couple of weeks, but that's just wrong (and kind of childish btw)
Filipe Figueiredo you calm it is childish but you don't know what I've been truth. Or even what I'm going truth
Matt Evans as I've said, I'm not judging because I've done the same thing. and yeah, I don't know what you've been through, same way as you don't know what I've been through...but if I had kept on blaming my family for not being there for me while shit was happening to me, I'd just be finding lame excuses for not growing some balls and move on...I just wanted to emphasise that it's not really their fault and that we shouldn't blame them, I didn't mean to offend anyone...stay cool Matt =)
@ kiley fugel problem is this song is largely about the crippling effects of depression and how alienated it makes one feel. Even in a room full of people that love you a severely depressed person can feel completely alone, hated, unloved and the most worthless piece of trash. even if it couldn't be farther from the truth.
drylooped We all have different opinions on the matter, so you are technically right.
This is a rough one all things considered now that chester left us this year, but I always listen to it every year and I always will.. Rest in peace chester
A sad song for a sad day. RIP Chester Bennington.
This is all I need
December 2019
Chester will always be missed
This is the *perfect* song to *listen* to on a *cold* day when you’re *realizing* what truly *matters*
Remembering listening to this song over and over during my dark teenage days...one of the best song ever..LP songs helped a lot people through their dark time...RIP Chester...Hope you find peace wherever you are....
RIP Chester. You will be missed. Thank You for giving a voice to all the emotions.
And... I'm suicidal again, but Chester would want us all to stay strong.
COME BACK CHESTER! :(
Dear god gives us back our Chester and we'll give you justin bieber, Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus. We just want our Chester back
CrazyComicGuy 64 he can have Justin Timberlake too I like his music but he no Chester
CrazyComicGuy 64 God take Lil pump and all these talentless wastes and give Chester back😓😭
He’s gone. I wish he’s alive
No one can change your place
December 2017.
This December feels so empty knowing the man who made this month so special is no more.
December 2018.
The memory still lives on.
Listening to this in December this year won't be the same...RIP
This is my december...love chester's voice
This is our December. We will miss You Chester.
Oh my heart.... when I was younger I would listen to Linken Park... jam to their voices and instruments... I paused them for a while.... now that Chester is gone... knowing we will never hear another musical note.... a hymn. . . I can't stop listening. . .
I lost my dad in 2021. Holidays haven't been the same without him, and last year and this year I've just listened to this song on loop and cried. I miss him every day.
😔🤗
2015 and still listening
Who wouldn't still listen to this? Lol I know I am.
Jackie Williams me too :')
2017 and forever.... RIP Chester Bennington....
2024

Polybius Sinneslöschen HELL YEAHH. One time Chester doesn't scream. lol.
Polybius Sinneslöschen he'll no, this a calm, sad, song. Shut up and enjoy it
Eric Perry hahahahalol
Hell yeah!
Me
Rip Chester. I didn't know you personally. But, your lyrics and voice through out the years brought me peace within myself emotionally. And I thank you for that. I wish I knew you personally. Because, your voice and how you did your work was and still is amazing. You brought a lot of voices for a lot of people that couldn't express themselves. Your fans were and still are a reflection of you. We all love you. Fly high♡
Linkin Park is one of the most underrated bands of alltime
They deserve more critical praise and love than what they get now
It's December again... Brings back memories
December 2019??
Still missing him 💔💔
I always listen to this song when the first snow fall hits each year, covering the trees. It just makes me feel so at peace and thankful for everything I have in my life. I miss Chester everyday ❤ Linkin Park will always be my favorite band!
raise your hands if you're here cuz you already missed Chazzy :'(
myra dinar 🙏😇
RIP Chester. Too soon mate.
One of my favorites. RIP Chester.
One year ago, I was left in a bitter cold and unyielding state.. by the loss of a man who spoke directly to my soul. Today is my December, and I will never stop missing him. I will always feel like a piece of me is missing. R.I.P Chester.
Dec 1st 2017
First December without Chester Bennington
R.I.P T_T
I'm listening to this TODAY.... in a world without Chester... what else can i say
Hello December. This song is a beautiful gift from Chester.
Such a good song, it's a favourite of mine from Linkin Park. I miss Chester and honestly the music won't be the same without him. I'm happy to have seen him perform live once, he was a awesome singer. Linkin Park's music made me think and helped me in the past.
Anyway hope the rest of you are having a decent December, stay safe and peace be with you all.
I still can't believe that he is gone. I cried when I found out about his suicide and cry when I hear his music. Linkin Park brings me back to my high school days when I would listen to "My December" on repeat mode, sulking in my depression. Life is mysterious, an enigma. What is the point of all this?
listening to this in July cause I'm a savage
me too haha
I'm listening to this in September😂
Christmas in July anyone?
lol
Savage life!
RIP Chester! One of a kind voice, one of a kind human. He is for sure missed
It doesn't get better than this song. No other song is like this. RIP Chester
This is my December... Christmas will never be the same again without my best friend.
I remember listening to this in 1999 as a kid. Still has kind of before-millenium nostalgia in it.
That Is really strange seeming that this wasn't out in 1999
2001....you're right mate
***** Haha, thought so ;)
N7 it was 2001 when the special edition came out I take it?
N7 btw happy December m8
This song gets me through the hard times. Couldn't be any more dead on with how I feel.
All the lyrics you wrote and sang we felt all the pain you had. Thank you Chester RIP
It's currently December. It's night time. Just hit midnight. I feel depressed and I've been crying since I came to bed. But I feel at peace when I listen to this.
Who listens to this even when its not December?
me
I am.
Me too
Always....
Striker29 September 2017 rn so yeah lmao
happy december guys!
Star-Lord happy December
Happy December to you too
My dad died December 31st 2016.... This speaks in volumes to me for a number of reasons. I’d give it all away just to see my dad one more time. Anything. I was a huge fan of LP. Chester’s voice alone.. and the lyrics got me through the roughest of times growing up. I carry a lot of demons. Knowing someone else shares that nefarious dread, and can still make people smile with stay with me forever. It is my strength. Thank you Chester.
-someone you saved
my mom passed away last December 18 ,I made a slide show video in her honor, using this beautiful yet dark song, this is my December!
thank you !
So sorry
Stoney Garza so sorry for your loss man, stay strong, God with us. May she rest in peace. 🙏🙏
😢
I will be nothing right now without chester his voice
Because he’s helping me trough a lot of pain and i can thank him enough i love you soooo much chester it’s a damn shame that YOU have to leave this planet
We all miss you
❤️😔R.I.P Chester Bennington😔❤️
When I heard the news today I just had to listen to this song. RIP Chester..
RIP Chester. Your voice and the songs of LP were there for me when I needed them. This particular song struck a chord with me when I first heard it and every so often I come back to it when I need a bit of emotional catharsis. You may be gone but you will not be forgotten. Condolences to his family, band mates, friends, and fans.
This will always be my favorite Linkin Park song. ❄️
I'm listening to this every day of December, it's a tradition and I don't listen to this song apart from when it's December. It's the same with Valentines day.
same here :P It's a great thing to do
I only listen to it on my birthday as a tradition.
fair enough :)
Aj Kawczynski LOOOK OUT!!! we have a badass over here!!!! haha
Have you heard the remix in the album Reanimation? It's a tough choice to decide in which is the better version!
This song gets me in my feelings!💔😭💯,2019 & still listening to it. R.I.P Chester Bennington, My Number One Artist Forever.
When this song came out,I was in a difficult situation. I would cry myself to sleep while listening to this song on my Walkman. How I contemplated whether to run away from home or to just completely let go of life. And now I am listening to this and crying again for different reason. Chester is gone and it hurts so fucking bad,never knew it could hurt this bad. I love Linkin Park,every single one them in this band. Without one of them,it won't be the same. Whatever happens to Linkin Park after this,I will stand behind them. Chester will forever be missed and I hope Mike,Brad,Joe,Rob and Dave will continue making music,just like when Chester was around and in honour of Chester 💔
