Erik Jensen I think Mike has likely written many bad songs. But then he rewrites them over and over until they are great songs. Greatness isn't something that falls from the sky for the fortunate to catch. It is chiseled and carved from solid rock by those who see the greatness inside.
Gaming With Ryan Lyrics weren’t bad on that at all, he was explaining how he tried going places but people won’t leave him the fk alone about Chesters death asking stupid ass questions or the same question over and over!! He wrote the album at different times all while coping with the death of one of his best friends and co workers!!!
Your rapping and singing are phenomenal Mike. You can hear how Chesters singing voice influenced Mikes singing voice on this track. Chesters spirit is all over this album my friend. We love and support you Mike!
Vernon Salisbury I thought I was the only one who felt Chester's influence in this track. The melody hit it right where Mike wanted it to hit and neither of us are disappointed.
You can see in LPTV episodes how Mike often directed Chester's vocals in the demo/recording process. We're now hearing Mike attempt to render it himself instead of getting someone else to sing it. I notice it really clearly in the Boris sock puppets in the other video - he makes the 'mouth' do these big open wide gestures for 'belted' lines that in reality he just sings in a slightly different key, in an understated way, but you can imagine how Chester would belt them if Mike were directing him.
We love Mike,Chester.and whole family, and I will always miss Chazzy♥ Mike is making him so mother fkin proud, every track is so different. Has it's own story and absolute no genre sounds. Supporting him and each other we make him proud n sing along !!
This energy and spirit is the reason why Linkin Park was/is my most favorite band, and now Mike Shinoda my most favorite singer in the world (besides Chester, forever) Damn... i feel so much clearer, calmer and more emotional than before
Very very true. Couldnt have said it any better, you just cant compare linkin park to other banda because lp is just sooo deep, with them i started learning english, they are the reason i like rock, i used to put headphones on my moms tummy lol when she was pregnant with my little sister (she is now 16) she has been literally listening to lp all her life, and just like me and u she agrees chester forever and mike is just awesome, his lyrics his voice....just deep, emotional and just awesome
no, YOU couldn't even say it better, that's totally the same feeling in another way i feel Linkin Park got me through very bad times over my life (like 7 or 8 years, and i am 20 xD) Mike is another part of linkin park and in a strange view another part of my life; Chester is dead, so my past, and that's why mike sing for my present and future now and that is something which makes me happy in a very own special way ^~^
Adrionik13 amen to that my bro...btw..im just 16..linkin park has also helped me through my tough times...now that chester is gone mike's music has filled the void which chesters death had left
Well said, I agree ! Last night, I went to see Mike in concert and he was awesome! His talent, his energy on stage, his authentic smile, he was having fun and he was so nice! ❣️
They should all come back together for this one, it's classic LP, and life just has to go on for them all, heartbreaking as it will always be. Suicide breaks everyone 😢
Sue Condon *blinks* I thought it was all in my head. I seriously heard Chester in this. Hate making comparisons. Especially when one is trying to move forward. Mike has that in him he just needs to know it. I feel he is just starting to tap into that part he never knew was there.
This is a time when we all need to come together as a fan base, and as human beings mourning the loss of a beautiful human who couldn't see any hope left 😢😢😓😔😔✊
just started listening to mike shinoda, and i'm like "thats a good song" than the next song "thats a good song" than the next one "thats a good song" and when i typed this i was like "mhmm wow most of his songs are really good, how are they not hits or something?"
Damn. This album is amazing! Realize that Mike did all the artwork, production and songwriting by him self! A true artist who is capable to keep the balance between Hip Hop, Pop and Alternative on this amazing piece of work. Been a fan for 10 years straight and still going.
Anyone else get major A Thousand Suns vibes from this song? I can literally hear Chester on the chorus, and the sonic elements and that synth bridge are soo ATS.
Gaming With Ryan in my opinion. If you don't agree that's fine. But there isn't one lp album that I think is better than post traumatic, and I love every lp album
It's a fact we can't keep up most of our promises we can just try to but life playes it's dice pretty well now i feel disappointed and this song heals me but rember i did do everything i could
It hurts me so much and I feel an empty void inside because it feels like Chesters voice should be on this, but it is missing. So I just think of his voice while listening and pretending that it's there
Along with Ghosts, this is my favorite. I don't even know what genre are your music's, but that doesn't matter because like Linkin Park, it was not a pop, nu metal or any other kind of band for me. It was THE band, my favorite one that i stil love, and that's what matter. I am a big fan of Linkin Park and your fan too, so thank you for keep doing this amazing job in music, Mike.
this song truly displays how good of a singer Mike is. Surely his range isn't that wide but he maximizes his vocal abilities well. I'm proud of him for stepping it up with each album he releases whether it'd be with LP, FM, or by himself. I believe that Chester really pushed him to be better or to even try singing on some of their songs and now, he's grown so much confidence in his singing. Absolutely love this song and it's my favorite off of PT.
Now that's what's called true devotion.....you don't just leave your band alone if someone important ( chester) is absent.... You try to fill his place....make the band shine brighter....that's how you respect the great and in the process... Become great yourself.... #respectformike
I cant believe it's already been 2 years since this came out, seems like yesterday I was frozen in shock about Chester. I'm just glad mike fought on and is still doing his thing even if it's a bit different from in the past
this song is more relatable than most songs. back then I thought I knew who I was or what I wanted in life, but you'll have to break yourself down in order to truly see what you are made of I was certain from my decisions that I was right but my decisions were wrong, you can never be right until you know what you did wrong.
Idc idc Mike shinoda is S tier artist his music is so good and impactful and I absolutely love how he messes around the instrumentals and keeps it spicy and different. I love this man and his music
That mantle of LP and Chester is still very much alive. You are an amazing artist and the pain and growth is very clear in all your releases. Keep doing you.
I'm stuck in a loop with this one...........it's hitting home every single time....it's so magical...the line especially "And I've tried but it never was up to me". That voice work. Mike, you are the best. I am glad I saw you alive.
There's a top notch feeling to Mike latest releases that tells me he's gonna stick around for a long time in the biz. The more, the merrier. Couldn't love them anymore. 💕💕
One of my favorite songs in Post Traumatic album. Thank you very much Mike for the sentimental effort that you have made producing and recording this album. Each chord, each effect, each word, is a memory and a scream to break the chains that bind you to those memories, to Chester and what his loss meant to you and to all of us. Step by step Mike. This album is a great leap and each song a heartbeat to all of us. All my strength and courage to you Mike. We are all by your side.
I just love your simple majestic voice man. So much emotion in your voice! I guess this is the closest to getting a Fort Minor sequel album but I'm ok with that. Brilliant stuff.
It takes a lot of guts to do what Mike is doing and I admire him continuing to do what he loves. People can give me as much sh*t as they want but Mike always has been and always will be my favorite artist.
I love this! Also, this one has probably the most LP'ish vibe from the album. (Not counting Running from my shadow, because that only has the structure)
Thank you for continuing to be the soundtrack of our lives, despite the hardships. We love you brother! Your music is a must in this world of darkness.
I used to think that I knew who I was Never saw it coming unglued I used to think that I knew who I was Now it’s time to see if it’s true ……………. True words, Mike :(
Best songs from the album in my opinion: Watching as I fall, nothing makes sense anymore, this song, lift off, running from my shadow, and can’t hear you now But all of them are good.
This is so beautiful! I'm speechless seriously Mike's vocals and Chester's vocals are, were and forever will be in sync. But I am so proud of Mike, he will succeed in every way at the end.
By far my favourite track on the Album.... The emotion is very raw in the lyrics, it's something I can relate to. "I used to think that I know what I want never saw it coming unglued I used to think that I know what I want now it's time to see if it's true I had so much certainty 'Til that moment I lost control"
Listened to you guys on the radio back in my college days, never did buy many albums in general. This stuff is awesome though. You just might have something going for you.
Who else is so happy that Post Traumatic is finally released 😊😊😊
Me!!!
IamWhoIAm MeantToBe MEEEEEEEE
MEEE
Me! 🖤
THE NATION Seriously don't beg and lie 🙄 If you want us to watch your video, sure okay but as if anyone would believe that.
Do you ever make a bad song?... every song on this album is hitting the feels rn... thanks pal... much respect...

this highkey reminds me of 'i'll be gone' which makes it 10000x times nostalgic and emotional
same nostalgic feeling when first listened to 'World's on fire'. the first verse reminded me to "Until It Breaks" when Brad's singing
stumpclub I was looking for this comment haha
Your rapping and singing are phenomenal Mike. You can hear how Chesters singing voice influenced Mikes singing voice on this track. Chesters spirit is all over this album my friend. We love and support you Mike!

Lucy Blades
I see it now. Nice observation tho. 😯
I came here to comment this, but then you already said it!
Vernon Salisbury actually Mike was helping Chester out on how he should sing some of his songs so yeah I also I caught that observation
Definitely a Living Things vibe with this one. Love it.
Reminds me of Burn It Down in some parts
weedwak reminds me of Lost In The Echo
Reminds me of Burning In The Skies + Lost In The Echo + I'll Be Gone. SO many ATS and LT vibes in this one. Definitely my favorite
Good goodbye mixed intro by the way :)
Exactly
This album deserves an award!
Nithyapriya Rajkumar I was thinking the same!!!!
IKR
The intro sounds like a LPU song. Like something from 2012- 2014. I love it.
More like a song from the LIVING THINGS album
Blobfish Productions Absolutely x
That's what I noticed too imediatly, but I think the whole song has that vibe. It's so awesome! :O
Is it only me, I hear Good Goodbye intro?
the intro reminded me of "A Light that Never Comes" but the Chester Lives version
That voice! This must be the most melodic version of Mike's voice ever featured in a song. I fell in love with it, wow
"I use to think that I knew who I was, now it's time to see if it's true" Words are gold in your hands, Mike.
The instrumental really reminds me of "I'll Be Gone" from Linkin Park's 'Living Things' album. Anybody else agree or is just me?
Aamir Syed it’s like a mixture of Good Goodbye and Powerless for me
Fernando Carrillo yes very much sounds really familiar which gives me goosebumps
Yes I can here to
I got a robot boy vibe towards the end
I hear Powerless, I'll be gone and Burning in the skies :)
I never thought Post Traumatic would turn out to be so 🔥🔥👌 Mike’s killing it!
DH Shawon he doesnt do anything half-assed man
This album will mark my whole summer
Marks my whole year if you're asking me
Teodora Stojšić and my winter here hahah (i'm from Brazil)
This album relates to each and every one of us LP fans. Love you Mike and Linkin Park! #MissYouChester 💙
I’m so sad Today I lost my grandfather and Mike Shinoda Sir, your songs helppppppppp me...... they save meeee.... You’re are a real hero.... RESPECT
Chester we miss you buddy.
Mark Chavez we will miss linkin park too
We love Mike,Chester.and whole family, and I will always miss Chazzy♥ Mike is making him so mother fkin proud, every track is so different. Has it's own story and absolute no genre sounds. Supporting him and each other we make him proud n sing along !!
Mike you beauty..... Just killing..... Like you have done soo far....... Chester would be proud😍😍😍😍😍😍💥💥💥💥💥
Karthik Vs
Chester is proud😊😊
This energy and spirit is the reason why Linkin Park was/is my most favorite band, and now Mike Shinoda my most favorite singer in the world (besides Chester, forever)
Damn... i feel so much clearer, calmer and more emotional than before
Very very true. Couldnt have said it any better, you just cant compare linkin park to other banda because lp is just sooo deep, with them i started learning english, they are the reason i like rock, i used to put headphones on my moms tummy lol when she was pregnant with my little sister (she is now 16) she has been literally listening to lp all her life, and just like me and u she agrees chester forever and mike is just awesome, his lyrics his voice....just deep, emotional and just awesome
no, YOU couldn't even say it better, that's totally the same feeling in another way i feel
Linkin Park got me through very bad times over my life (like 7 or 8 years, and i am 20 xD)
Mike is another part of linkin park and in a strange view another part of my life; Chester is dead, so my past, and that's why mike sing for my present and future now and that is something which makes me happy in a very own special way ^~^
Adrionik13 amen to that my bro...btw..im just 16..linkin park has also helped me through my tough times...now that chester is gone mike's music has filled the void which chesters death had left
Well said, I agree ! Last night, I went to see Mike in concert and he was awesome! His talent, his energy on stage, his authentic smile, he was having fun and he was so nice! ❣️
Sorry LP is dead forevee #RIPLINKINPARK(1996-2017) gone forever but never forgotten
Instant love ❤💔 I can hear Chester in this, it's so LP. LOVE this, thank you Mike xx
Sue Condon same.i also heard Chester for some reason.whoahh
They should all come back together for this one, it's classic LP, and life just has to go on for them all, heartbreaking as it will always be. Suicide breaks everyone 😢
Sue Condon yeah...😣😭
Sue Condon *blinks* I thought it was all in my head. I seriously heard Chester in this. Hate making comparisons. Especially when one is trying to move forward. Mike has that in him he just needs to know it. I feel he is just starting to tap into that part he never knew was there.

lol
Never bored or annoyed by his style shinoda is a true amazing person and am very profoundly glad of his career it has inspired me
Damn. This album is amazing! Realize that Mike did all the artwork, production and songwriting by him self! A true artist who is capable to keep the balance between Hip Hop, Pop and Alternative on this amazing piece of work.
Been a fan for 10 years straight and still going.

My new favorite album!!! ... On top of my other faves, which are all LP albums, LOL.
Elizabeth Joseph Same.
Lol...That's not true but its dope...
Probably tops every lp album. Never thought I would say that
Gaming With Ryan in my opinion. If you don't agree that's fine. But there isn't one lp album that I think is better than post traumatic, and I love every lp album
Gaming With Ryan I hope they continue and they said they will
Do you ever hear a song so good you can't wrap your head around the fact that song is real?
Im so happy he keeps continuing with his amazing music.
This is the best album , I've ever heard!!! 😍😍.So many emotions!!
I second that. so raw
310th like is mine
Idk why but one tear fell down from my eye
You're a genius, Mike
Every second of this song is perfection!
It's a fact we can't keep up most of our promises we can just try to but life playes it's dice pretty well now i feel disappointed and this song heals me but rember i did do everything i could
Mike just loves this chord progression....
For me, this is ALREADY the best album of the year
Good for you, Mike
Mike Genioda
Yeahhh! Ele é um *génio*
Anther brilliant song .. lyrics are touching 💕
This album has been helping me process the worst truth I've recieved. So, thank you for sharing these raw feelings with us all.
This new album is pretty damn good imo
The instrumental for this track sound like a mix between About You, Crossing a Line and Nothing Makes Sense Anymore
giving me lp vibes
It hurts me so much and I feel an empty void inside because it feels like Chesters voice should be on this, but it is missing. So I just think of his voice while listening and pretending that it's there
This hits hard to home because there are a lot of promises I know that I cant keep and that i dont keep.
Along with Ghosts, this is my favorite. I don't even know what genre are your music's, but that doesn't matter because like Linkin Park, it was not a pop, nu metal or any other kind of band for me.

Mike how do you still find things to rap about you are great man!
"Eu não tenho pior inimigo
do que o medo do que ainda é desconhecido" entendemos você Mike.
Mike, you're doing it! THIS is what your fans NEED! You have no idea how important it is that you're producing this music.
true
@@leenaylor3478 Definitely true, is important
No i want him to RAP, I want him to go lit 🔥🔥
This is the soul of chester speaking through mike's voice 💔
Forgive us chester we let you down til' you gave up 💔
YAS MIKE PROUD OF U
My japanese guy is killin' it. 💕💕
lol details XD
THIS ONE IS MY FAVOURITE 😭
Couldn’t wait any longer for your album to come out! It’s great! Haven’t heard something this beautiful in years!
This album is fucking good and well produced! Mike could go beyond our expectations that were already high! Holy shit!
I cant believe it's already been 2 years since this came out, seems like yesterday I was frozen in shock about Chester. I'm just glad mike fought on and is still doing his thing even if it's a bit different from in the past
awesome , you need to make a dope video like old days .
So good no video is needed!
Jaxon C. Videos are needed to reach wider range of audience .
Binna chester video sohni ni bannani ...... Kalla audio vadiya ah
Jaspreet Singh he probably isn't looking for a wider audience
You need to start using your imagination. Lay off Mike.
Hell yeah let’s go mike!!!!
THANK YOU MIKE FOR THIS
this song is more relatable than most songs.
back then I thought I knew who I was or what I wanted in life, but you'll have to break yourself down in order to truly see what you are made of
I was certain from my decisions that I was right but my decisions were wrong, you can never be right until you know what you did wrong.
Idc idc Mike shinoda is S tier artist his music is so good and impactful and I absolutely love how he messes around the instrumentals and keeps it spicy and different. I love this man and his music
this song gives me chills

We are all by your side.
Yesssss!!!!! Can't wait for tomorrow!!! Freaking good album
I just love your simple majestic voice man. So much emotion in your voice! I guess this is the closest to getting a Fort Minor sequel album but I'm ok with that. Brilliant stuff.
@Mike Shinoda Gonna support you through all your adventures, ups and downs. We as fans gotchu brother!
The highlight of my day always.
Luo Xiang Same. Especially since I’ve been sick. 🤮
It takes a lot of guts to do what Mike is doing and I admire him continuing to do what he loves. People can give me as much sh*t as they want but Mike always has been and always will be my favorite artist.
Love you Shinoda. Everyone SHOULD concentrate on Your Voice anyway
I love this! Also, this one has probably the most LP'ish vibe from the album. (Not counting Running from my shadow, because that only has the structure)
Thank you for continuing to be the soundtrack of our lives, despite the hardships. We love you brother! Your music is a must in this world of darkness.
Love this song! Mikes lyrics are raw and real, reminds me of Chester and him jamming out sick lyrics with all of LP!
Lyrics of post traumatic is just beauty.. listening to this album on loop and nothing else feels better😭♥️ you're the best mike♥️ lots of love💯
Some real old school LP vibes on this one. INSANE!
Living Things Vibes!!!
This song is the best!
Sensação de paz. Acho que é isso que o Mike quer passar nessas músicas.
"I had so much certainty, till that moment I lost control"
I used to think that I knew who I was
Never saw it coming unglued
I used to think that I knew who I was
Now it’s time to see if it’s true …………….
True words, Mike :(
Best songs from the album in my opinion:
Watching as I fall, nothing makes sense anymore, this song, lift off, running from my shadow, and can’t hear you now
But all of them are good.

I'm in love with this song, I'm so proud of you ❤️
Little things give you away.
I still can't believe this album speaks so much for me.
Bittersweet album, I love it but every single song makes tears running down my cheeks. Stay strong Mike, we're all here for you #MakeChesterProud
I heard Chester too. It's probably Mike channeling him through his amazing talent almost like he approves what Mike is doing.
Mike. You are killing it man. Please don't stop. We love your music man! Thanks so much for putting it out.
Simply amazing!
Mike for real i cant even listen to anything else but this album. Its amazing
I would listen to it as I still gutted for the lost of Chester but tonight I have listened and it's a wonderful album thank you Mike ❤️
Great album so far...This is the 11th song I've heard from the album
Absolutely amazing, your voice is shining Mike! Chester will be so proud of you
LOVE IT! every song i listen to i feel little more whole inside. Thank You Mike! We LOVE the whole LP Family.
Goosebumps. So deep. This guys is simply awesome
Listened to you guys on the radio back in my college days, never did buy many albums in general. This stuff is awesome though. You just might have something going for you.
All of your songs are amazing.God bless you Mike.
this is my favourite album and this is my favourite song from the album, closely followed by crossing a line
we all love you mike
I can’t stop listening to this ♥️
This is the best song !! I love you Mike ❤
