I cant believe he wont ever sing again, i'm actually struggling to watch and listen to their music. I've always dismissed people being upset over celebrities passing but i was quite clearly too quick to judge. It's such a shame, it's so so sad. RIP Chester *edit* I'm sorry Sofia. When I clicked this video I thought it was an LP video. You did a great job here - well done :)
I know what you mean. I can't listen to any of his music without sobbing. I felt the same about people (not family and friends) mourning people's deaths that they didn't even know... and now I'm here, crying for three days because it felt like a part of who I am and what his music did to me also died. So heartbreaking.
I can totally relate... I don't know how many times I've downloaded and deleted his songs because it's just too much to take in right now. I cannot hear him sing without breaking into tears. And the lyrics make it worse now...
heard him in an interview talk about how that scream of his actually comes from his diaphragm, not his throat and how that's how he's able to do it time after time and not screw himself up. so wise, passionate, gorgeous, loving, talented...tortured, hurting.... he was crying out for help but because he had a 'i'm ok' face on, we just saw it as more great music!! i know mental distress personally so i know how you can hide behind a fake face....how you can be fine - like here - one minute and ending it weeks later....but MAN, part of me wants to think it was all just a horrible accident... like maybe he was 'trying it out' to see what Chris must've been thinking and experiencing and somehow, he slipped and it was over..... i know it's not realistic but it's hope I need to have..... RIP Chester. You're finally free from all the heaviness of this world and we're all the better for you having been in it!
Me too. His pain is palpable 😢 What's worse for me, is not only in this song, but this whole album, he's literally giving the answers to his OWN questions, but he just was not able to apply them to himself, to his own demons, struggles, pain, ect... 🥺😖😓 it's heartbreaking 💔
When Chester left us I cried for 3 days straight. He was someone I idolised, I went through a lot of things when I was a kid and I saw Chester as someone who had also been a survivor. I always thought, If he can survive, I can too. When he left it crushed my soul.. I feel like if the pain was too much for someone as strong as him, will I ever be free of it? I still cry about this all the time. The world was a better place with you in it Chester ❤
singing some of his songs saved my life....i think when i heard the news i sat in the bathroom a few hours trying to find news that its some joke....had to sit there and cry for what seemed like hours....still hurts to hear him sing the real sad songs.
Christie C yes. When I first heard it I was stand offish. Then I knew as a aging male I know what kind of music they was trying to make. Sorry for now is nothing more than a song that mike wrote for his kids. And that’s fine. It’s great. Talking to myself is about the only callback to oldschool lp
As someone suffering with severe social anxiety disorder this song touches so many feelings and has helped me avoid panic attacks so where ever you are now Chester I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Because of this song I can actually go to work without fear, and finally be a normal person...
8bitkefka THANK U, I really thought it was just me... Heavy says everything about my social anxiety, everything is so heavy... and it feel like Is just me (and it shouldn’t be) and that it’s my fault but other people have more problems ("I know I’m not the center of the universe") ... This song represents me.
He's just so unbelievable. Dude had a niece that cheered that went to my high school, so he'd come to some of my basketball games to see her. He was the nicest, most joy filled person. Only saw a bit because I was playing but anyone who approached him at any time of the game, all smiles and pics/autographs, then back to the game like nothing happened, he loved his fans. Saw him doing HIS OWN shopping at the frys nearby in Gilbert. Humble, kind and an unbelievable talent and human being. Truly a loss... rest easy Chester
His death would've hit me so much more personal had I been in your shoes, hell I don't know it might have killed you on the inside...... did you go to his funeral or anything like that
Crystal B. Ive been acting the same way. I cant seem to shake it. No other music seems to come close to the quality of theirs. Especially the live versions of their songs. No one comes close to sounding that amazing live. My fiance' thinks i need help. And that im obsessing. But its just so unfair. Such a legend. Sofia sounds incredible in this song. This version is by far the best. Im not a fan of the one on the album with kiarra or whoever. It has a weird beat to it. Sounds remixy. I wish this could be put onto an album so the few people in the world who've not seen it yet could hear this version.
Every time I hear him say "How you guys doing?" It makes me tear up. He sounded so happy, as one with depression does when they're masking their pain... It's painful to think what lurked below the smile, was what would take him. Anyone who's been there, knows. I'm lucky to be a survivor. Chester and many others are to thank. I wish someone could have been able to save him, as he saved me.
I’m a metal head and this literally put my hairs on end . Really beautiful piece of music . He had such a powerful voice which feels so genuine and real . Like he means and feels every word. Very few singers/ vocalists do this and capture you. I know people say all sentimental things when someone has gone but I really rate Linkin Park as pioneers of modern music . Fusing several genres despite the backlash from the metal elitists or the pop or rap lovers saying ah why does he scream ..... you know the drill .. they really are and he was unique . Live they were amazing and such an energy. It truly is sad that we lose special things like this to the way music is now being made and how popularism is taking a generic grasp of the younger generations . I’m happy to have been a teen when these guys came around and experienced the whole nu metal scene if that’s however people want to brand it . It truly was a sad day for music when he decided to end it. I find music so cathartic and it always makes me feel better I struggle now though to feel positive from his music knowing that he was baring that much that even though he shared it with people he still couldn’t carry that weight . I have bouts of extreme depression and music is the outlet that helps me release it in a positive way . I’m lucky I get what I do from it . I can’t help but think how terrible things must have been for people like Chester to only have one solution to their problem . It must be hell to actually feel that death is the only way out of it . Iv had 3 friends commit suicide one being my best friend in the army . I think it shows how bad mental health problems are in young men and I hope if anyone out there has any issues that they do not do what Chester felt he had to do . If your having a shit time there’s always more worth staying alive for I think if you just see the devastation he left behind to his family friends and fans alone that that was worth fighting for . Anyone who suffers anything reach out to people man the best thing I ever did was speak with a total stranger . If I hadn’t I wouldn’t be here today either . Anyone struggling just reach out and don’t carry the burden alone . There’s always someone who cares about you and always someone else you will hurt by not being here ! No matter how you feel inside it’s not a bad world and I would be there for anyone going through anything, anyone out there if your alone and just need to talk just hit me up I don’t care where your from or anything I am all ears and I would help anyone . Don’t forget to check in on people guys . Think when was the last time you actually asked people around you - how are you ? Like no really how are you ? It’s s busy world these days and we forget that sometimes there are people struggling in silence and something so little as asking someone are they ok could lead to making their life bareable and cared about no matter how they feel inside . Peace out guys hope whoever reads this feels something positive and does something positive after doing so 👊🏼👌🏼✌🏻❤️
Hello. How are you my friend? I don't know you name yet, but I hope you're doing well. I'm Alfie, I like Linkin Park's music too. I'm sorry for what happened to your friends. Life gives us the most unexpected things sometimes, whether it's good or bad, happy or sad. I wish you the best gifts life would offer, love, success, contentment. Have a great day ♥️
Heidi Pye sometimes we get caught up in all of life’s BS that we even forget that the person you are writing to is a human. Nice to see some positive stuff on here 💪🏼❤️
I heard the news yesterday and immediately thought of this video. its so devastating that this beautiful soul didn't see another way of escaping his demons. rest in peace Chester
What breaks me the most of this song is Chester's scream at 2:25, because I can feel myself screaming the same words inside - every time. Thank you for everything Chester, you will always be missed and never forgotten
You could take it either a bad way or a good way like if I just let go of these burdens I would be free but I think that specific line was about how he could just end it and he would be free of all of it but that's not the case. He never gave his life to the lord so he won't be in a better place. #ChesterWillBeMissed
No, your not alone i found that also very heavy when he didn't die, i thought his songs were like this because of a theme or something because Chester was so happy he was smiling, but really he wasn't. these words affected me DEEP
"How're you guys doing?" Nobody asked him how he was doing.. yet he still sang this song. The lyrics are the answer to how Chester's doing. And we never really realized it.. We are so sorry Chester.. You were too good to/for us.
We didn't know him personally. Stop making it look like its sorta fans fault cos it's not. If his family and friends couldn't realize that he was in so much pain, how could we. It's just very tragic and I feel for Chester and his family. Wish he could have found a way through it but now I know he's at peace.
Ben Briffa His voice really developed from the Hybrid Theory days to One More Light. It was so much more melodic and expressive on his later stuff. He could croon and scream, much like his dearly departed friend Chris Cornell.
in one interview Mike said that Heavy souds more like a pop song when your hear it, but when they do it live it would soud more like a rock song, listening to how Chester kinda screamed at the bridge... it's true
I'm holding on, Why is everything so heavy? Dear Chester,if we only knew 😭😭😭 R.I.P. Chester, Bennington,may your angelic voice forever shake the heavens and our hearts. You will be forever remembered.
oh wtf. i am stupid. of course i heard of them i actually love 'em quite much BUT i am so stupid and didnt think that they are OF linkin park XDD wtf. ._. sry
Being a Christian (the follower of Christ): - calls upon the name of THE LORD: Psalms 145:18 , Psalms 55:16 , Isaiah 55:6 - coming to repentance, Luke 5:32 - going through new birth (baptized by the SPIRIT and by the water), 1 Corinthians 12:13 , John 3:7 - coming out from Babylon (the city life), Revelation 18:4 - analysing their own life and life in general, 2 Corinthians 13:5 - have their Inner mans eyes and ears open: Mark 8:18 , 2 Chronicles 7:15 , Matthew 13:16 - Judges - judges - judges, themselves and life in general in: John 7:24 - seeks out 1st the KINGDOM OF GOD: Matthew 6:33 - have no worries nor thoughts about what they shall eat or wear: Matthew 6:31 , Luke 12:22 , Matthew 6:25 , Luke 12:29 - is not a friend with the world, but exposes the wicked: Ephesians 5:11 , Psalms 26:5 , James 4:4 - goes through the persecution: Luke 6:22 , Matthew 5:44 ,John 15:18 , 1 John 3:13
I'm so sad for the loss of this man and his amazing talent. I wish people would realize how much the world misses them when the feel they have no other option than to take their own life. I'm crushed.
Ever since they released "One More Light", I've never once complained about the album, the genres LP were going with. I defended LP, literally fought with some dumbasses calling LP "sell-outs". Chester left his soul, his heart, and his life in "One More Light, yall just sitting there hating on it. Hope yall feel good now that Chester's gone.
Linkin Park was always in the spot for changing their music style, and not doing the same thing they do when they first start... Watching this tells me they were on the right track. I can tell Chester was enjoying singing this. He felt it... right under his skin. That's music. RIP Chester
My heart breaks when I hear and see him sing this song. - The pain he must have been hiding in these moments-and the pain that he went through in his life- " if id just let go id be set free" is the line that sticks with me the most- because he did let go. :( RIP Chester. If anyone feels like they cannot hold on any longer- there is help out there.
I don't like my mind right now Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary Wish that I could slow things down I wanna let go but there's comfort in the panic And I drive myself crazy Thinking everything's about me Yeah, I drive myself crazy 'Cause I can’t escape the gravity I'm holding on Why is everything so heavy? Holding on So much more than I can carry I keep dragging around what's bringing me down If I just let go, I'd be set free Holding on Why is everything so heavy? You say that I'm paranoid But I'm pretty sure the world is out to get me It's not like I make the choice To let my mind stay so fucking messy I know I'm not the center of the universe But you keep spinning 'round me just the same I know I'm not the center of the universe But you keep spinning 'round me just the same I'm holding on Why is everything so heavy? Holding on So much more than I can carry I keep dragging around what's bringing me down If I just let go, I'd be set free Holding on Why is everything so heavy? I know I'm not the center of the universe But you keep spinning 'round me just the same I know I'm not the center of the universe But you keep spinning 'round me just the same And I drive myself crazy Thinking everything’s about me Holding on Why is everything so heavy? Holding on So much more than I can carry I keep dragging around what's bringing me down If I just let go, I'd be set free Holding on Why is everything so heavy? Why is everything so heavy? Why is everything so heavy?
what a great song for the pain of anxiety and depression. The way a person loses their personal ability to feel peace..every day is a battle to not have demons of our past and horrible pains scream in our heads. The weight of expectations of others..but also of ourselves when we realise how much we are struggling and feel the weight of awareness of our scars and wounds. fighting to break free of it to join you all in a comfort of our own skin..but going insane from trying to reach you. so we hold on.
I remember all the backlash about this song, but now it's one of his most revered performances. Missing you and your future music while cherishing what we have left.
RIP Chester. You were my first band crush and my first inspiration to stand up and fave tomorrow. Thank you for filling my younger days with your talented voice. May your soul be at a place without pain.
Joseph Hernandez When the album came out, it felt so different vibe wise. Even the vibe of their live shows felt different. Like something was off, but I never suspected that he was hurting on the inside 😔.
This acoustic performance was such a beautiful and sad rendition when I first heard it with my mom after Chester's passing. She had been a lifelong Linkin Park fan with me ever since she bought me hybrid theory when I was a kid. Unfortunately she took her own life last year and I can't help but to attribute the lyrics to hear mental anguish And suffering she and Chester endured before their untimely passing. Hopefully things are a little less heavy up in heaven ❤️
Goose Bumps!!!!!! Man this is a perfect performance, sad this man is gone to soon. Sofia you did your thing!! Held your own standing next to a heavyweight vocalist. Salute
I just lost my 93 year old grandma. I have problems with expressing emotions to the point that people hated me for not crying as much when grandma died, they think I was being heartless. This song helped me unload and breakdown. I fcking love you, Chester. You are still a blessing to the human race. God bless you.
"How ya guys doing? " It really hurts, really really... How are you doing, Chester? Are you rocking in the heaven? Are you happy now? Please stay happy, we miss you a lot ❤
chester will always live in our hearts, his songs will keep being played this entire 21st century, because there will be no one like chester that had made songs like this deep and artistic and unique, music has its own genetic DNA
I LISTEN TO THESE SONG'S ALMOST EVERYDAY. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CHESTER. BUT YOU'VE MADE ME THINK ABOUT ALOT OF THINGS. AND I THINK OF THE PEOPLE THE I WENT TO REHAB WITH. THAT I KNOW THEY COULDN'T GET THREW THEIR DEPRESSION. I MISS THEM ALOT. YOUR SONG'S HELP ME GET THREW MY DEPRESSION SOMETIMES. THEY HAVE SO MUCH MEANING. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH. R. I. P. CHESTER. I LOVE YA ❤️
“One less light” is more like it. We miss you so much Chester. I speak for everyone here. You were loved and cherished. Such a magnificent talent gone way way too soon…
2023 and I'm mourning Chester so badly.....he was so beautiful inside and out and the world was better with him in it ... forever heartbroken over this man I never got to meet ....I envy every single person that knew him...🥺💔💔💔
Chester is incredible. So sad I never got to see them live. Thank you linkin park. I will always be a fan. Been through tough times and I’ve always found sanity through listening to LP. Thank you all so very much.
Thank you Chester. Thank you Sofia. I didn't even know this guy personally but after all the hardships his songs have gotten me through since I was in middle school over ten years ago - it feels like I lost a friend.
Chester's voice is just so revealing. It inspires me, bringing confidence and emotions I always seem to forget I had. Didn't know you, but you held me together in the worst of situations, man. From 14 and still keeping me there @ 31.
RIP Chester. Such a big loss to music and to his family. I find myself watching various LP clips just feeling sad, even though it's been a long time. I'll never forget.
Only people who understands depression and being so alone can understand his pain, hearing him singing I can feel his pain...we love you rest in peace Chester beddington ❤
Thank you Sofia for joining us for this. Loved how it turned out. -LP
Linkin Park why not full band? ;)
You guys sound amazing ❤
Linkin Park yo it's the real LP
I love this song so much 👍😄
Linkin Park i luv dis song but when are others going to come now it's too much heavy
It's 2022, and i still get emotional everytime i hear Chester's voice.
Fills me with emotion as well, cuts me up gutted that Chester as gone rest easy brother
Hard not to ....😩
Always
Such a beautiful soul he had
Same
I still can't hear this song without crying. He is so very missed.
Me too!
Me to
I feel you. Depression is a mother fucker. You do exactly what he did. Act like everything is copacetic. When deep down you're fucking drowning.
I keep dragging around what’s bringing me down, if I just let go I’d be set free” love that part!
Same miss
I cant believe he wont ever sing again, i'm actually struggling to watch and listen to their music. I've always dismissed people being upset over celebrities passing but i was quite clearly too quick to judge. It's such a shame, it's so so sad.
RIP Chester
*edit* I'm sorry Sofia. When I clicked this video I thought it was an LP video. You did a great job here - well done :)
I know what you mean. I can't listen to any of his music without sobbing.

Articulate Design ASMR im so sad as well. It hits too close to home....
Way to go pal!
Same I can't listen to their songs anymore , it just makes me so sad , LP was my favorite band ever
I can totally relate... I don't know how many times I've downloaded and deleted his songs because it's just too much to take in right now. I cannot hear him sing without breaking into tears. And the lyrics make it worse now...
2:25 OMG I'll miss this voice so much. Chester is a Legend.
Goosebumps... too sad 😭💔
That part gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.
alu kopf yeah me too

2023 and I still get chills from the pain in his voice!!!
This is so good but you must hear “Live Not Survive” or “Winding Road” by SLT 🤘🔥
Me too. His pain is palpable 😢
What's worse for me, is not only in this song, but this whole album, he's literally giving the answers to his OWN questions, but he just was not able to apply them to himself, to his own demons, struggles, pain, ect... 🥺😖😓 it's heartbreaking 💔
I'm crying so much. I miss Chester.
so do I. We all miss him
Me too very very much 😔😢💔

It's not nailing it when it's a genuine cry.......those who suffer like he did know this as the truth.
LEGEND
agreed! he was amazing singer
I still can't stop watching videos of Chester and listening to Linkin Park on a daily basis... it's hard to think about how he really is gone 😢

There’s no one ..
I suffer of that and i cant help it to myself. I have depression and anxiety. Is hard it wont even let me have a relationship is hard.
People will only care once its too late

Heidi Pye sometimes we get caught up in all of life’s BS that we even forget that the person you are writing to is a human. Nice to see some positive stuff on here 💪🏼❤️
Chester's voice always give me goosebumps. RIP idol ❤️❤️.. It's 2023 and i'm still here.
This is so good but you must hear “Live Not Survive” or “Winding Road” by SLT 🤘
I heard the news yesterday and immediately thought of this video. its so devastating that this beautiful soul didn't see another way of escaping his demons. rest in peace Chester
The 2:25 moment. Now we can't hear this kind of voice.
Damn that was my favorite part. #RIP
Right? I’m still not over his death. Every time I hear him I still want to cry.
Literally as soon as I heard it, I busted into tears deadass
Someone will show up
That right there... The pain, the angst- the burning sensation of feeling something no one can understand.
What breaks me the most of this song is Chester's scream at 2:25, because I can feel myself screaming the same words inside - every time.
Thank you for everything Chester, you will always be missed and never forgotten
I'll never get used to hearing his voice and thinking "He's not here anymore". =/
Tactavious Same 😢
Tactavious hurt so bad
After reading this comment, I started crying. I think about him everyday and everytime I hear his voice it just makes me wanna cry
He will always be in our hearts
Same man , same 😓
"If I just let go I'll be set free".
I'm I the only one that finds those 8 words so "heavy"?
RIP Chester
You could take it either a bad way or a good way like if I just let go of these burdens I would be free but I think that specific line was about how he could just end it and he would be free of all of it but that's not the case. He never gave his life to the lord so he won't be in a better place. #ChesterWillBeMissed
No, your not alone i found that also very heavy when he didn't die, i thought his songs were like this because of a theme or something because Chester was so happy he was smiling, but really he wasn't. these words affected me DEEP
Blalalalaal
No hun, you're not the only one
NO
I miss him so much. Every second, every minute, every hour, everyday and every year. Greatest voice ever
When we get to heaven this is the voice of angels and we’ll all be blessed for eternity ❤❤❤❤ miss you Chester 😢
"How're you guys doing?"
Nobody asked him how he was doing.. yet he still sang this song. The lyrics are the answer to how Chester's doing.
And we never really realized it..
We are so sorry Chester.. You were too good to/for us.
what could his audenice do rush the stage
We didn't know him personally. Stop making it look like its sorta fans fault cos it's not. If his family and friends couldn't realize that he was in so much pain, how could we. It's just very tragic and I feel for Chester and his family. Wish he could have found a way through it but now I know he's at peace.
2:25-2:31 what an amazing voice we've lost... Rip Chester
You're so lucky to have met him ❤️
RIP Chester
So beautiful but so sad. An iconic voice never to be forgotten. RIP Chester. Sleep well.
Ben Briffa His voice really developed from the Hybrid Theory days to One More Light. It was so much more melodic and expressive on his later stuff. He could croon and scream, much like his dearly departed friend Chris Cornell.
My heart is broken :(
Rip Chester from #Malaysia
September 2024 and I miss Chester so much..Every time I hear him my tear up and I get goosebumps..
same....RIP brother >3
in one interview Mike said that Heavy souds more like a pop song when your hear it, but when they do it live it would soud more like a rock song, listening to how Chester kinda screamed at the bridge... it's true
CHO JASON It's funny because most music is pop. Pop derived from popular. Pop is not a bad thing lol
MIkes reaction on teen's reaction
When u can relate to the lyrics and start to burst into tears
His message is clear in this song_ everything was indeed so heavy for him.
R.I.P Chester :(
He missed you, he sings very well.
2:25 this part gave me chills
Same. It is just perfection.
goose bumps
The whole song gave me chills
Metoo
out of this world
I miss him so much ! I miss Linkin Park
I'm holding on,
Why is everything so heavy?
Dear Chester,if we only knew 😭😭😭
R.I.P. Chester, Bennington,may your angelic voice forever shake the heavens and our hearts.
You will be forever remembered.

I'm so sad for the loss of this man and his amazing talent. I wish people would realize how much the world misses them when the feel they have no other option than to take their own life. I'm crushed.
This breaks my heart
Nelly Same here :(
Chester was always and is now forever an angel doing everything possible to help others who struggle with the same issues he did. Thank you, Chester 💔
Ever since they released "One More Light", I've never once complained about the album, the genres LP were going with. I defended LP, literally fought with some dumbasses calling LP "sell-outs". Chester left his soul, his heart, and his life in "One More Light, yall just sitting there hating on it. Hope yall feel good now that Chester's gone.
Rest in peace Chester its like a everything slows down without you. Every songs make a sense.
Omg i cried at the first note...cried like a baby ...chester we miss u... #RIPSIR
Still so sad
Astra same here
@Astra, I'm grown man, and this is first band my step father and I connected with, so as soon as I saw I heard it, I too cried
So heavy to accept the fact that Chester now is gone forever....good bye Chester, so sad..
I feel like One More Light is one of their more emotional albums. Or at least for me. And it's such a relatable one aswell❤
@@Book_lover-z9x imo it was his way of saying goodbye
2:25 ...this moment gives me goosebumps
I can't believe he's gone😭
Denise Aguilera i still cant believe it either.
Denise Aguilera still can't
I still cant believe im never going to meet my childhood hero. This guy got me through a ton of hard times.
Unreal song. Love this..
Can't believe how much I miss this man. And to say I never met/ never knew him. The connection is weird. Gone but not forgotten. Impossible to forget
Damn he was so fucking talented. So sad he's gone.
Linkin Park was always in the spot for changing their music style, and not doing the same thing they do when they first start...
Watching this tells me they were on the right track. I can tell Chester was enjoying singing this. He felt it... right under his skin. That's music.
RIP Chester
My heart breaks when I hear and see him sing this song. - The pain he must have been hiding in these moments-and the pain that he went through in his life- " if id just let go id be set free" is the line that sticks with me the most- because he did let go. :( RIP Chester. If anyone feels like they cannot hold on any longer- there is help out there.
I don't like my mind right now
Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary
Wish that I could slow things down
I wanna let go but there's comfort in the panic
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
Yeah, I drive myself crazy
'Cause I can’t escape the gravity
I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
You say that I'm paranoid
But I'm pretty sure the world is out to get me
It's not like I make the choice
To let my mind stay so fucking messy
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything’s about me
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Why is everything so heavy?
Why is everything so heavy?
Thank you!
thx u
what a great song for the pain of anxiety and depression. The way a person loses their personal ability to feel peace..every day is a battle to not have demons of our past and horrible pains scream in our heads. The weight of expectations of others..but also of ourselves when we realise how much we are struggling and feel the weight of awareness of our scars and wounds. fighting to break free of it to join you all in a comfort of our own skin..but going insane from trying to reach you. so we hold on.
Damn. This is a good way of putting it all into words.
Yes. This, exactly.
Exactly, every word is right it all tells the truth
Perfectly explained.Thank you.
I remember all the backlash about this song, but now it's one of his most revered performances. Missing you and your future music while cherishing what we have left.
RIP Chester. You were my first band crush and my first inspiration to stand up and fave tomorrow. Thank you for filling my younger days with your talented voice. May your soul be at a place without pain.
I felt with this album it was about listening...something felt so different like there was a call out for an understanding
Joseph Hernandez When the album came out, it felt so different vibe wise. Even the vibe of their live shows felt different. Like something was off, but I never suspected that he was hurting on the inside 😔.
This acoustic performance was such a beautiful and sad rendition when I first heard it with my mom after Chester's passing. She had been a lifelong Linkin Park fan with me ever since she bought me hybrid theory when I was a kid. Unfortunately she took her own life last year and I can't help but to attribute the lyrics to hear mental anguish And suffering she and Chester endured before their untimely passing. Hopefully things are a little less heavy up in heaven ❤️
there budy
ik im late but stay strong and sorry for your loss
one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard,honestly
Chester was such a great friend when we went to greenway high school I miss him everyday and can't believe he is gone
This is giving me chills. It's my 3rd consecutive listen.
2 years on... this version still gives me goosbumps
Goose Bumps!!!!!! Man this is a perfect performance, sad this man is gone to soon. Sofia you did your thing!! Held your own standing next to a heavyweight vocalist. Salute
I just lost my 93 year old grandma. I have problems with expressing emotions to the point that people hated me for not crying as much when grandma died, they think I was being heartless. This song helped me unload and breakdown. I fcking love you, Chester. You are still a blessing to the human race. God bless you.
Sorry for your loss
"How ya guys doing? "
It really hurts, really really...
How are you doing, Chester?
Are you rocking in the heaven?
Are you happy now? Please stay happy, we miss you a lot ❤
chester will always live in our hearts, his songs will keep being played this entire 21st century, because there will be no one like chester that had made songs like this deep and artistic and unique, music has its own genetic DNA
He has such a beautiful voice! He doesn’t need much to perform acapella. I will continue to play his music forever. 🙏💕
Wow, I am very surprised! I didn't expect that.. So good Sofia, congrats!
Sadam yep, me too :D Linkin Park!
Sadam Coo? Ty tutaj? xD
P
Your brilliant Sofia, I'm glad we had the opportunity to see you perform with Chester.
Chester you are still being missed and done know how you held on for so long ....
I LISTEN TO THESE SONG'S ALMOST EVERYDAY. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CHESTER. BUT YOU'VE MADE ME THINK ABOUT ALOT OF THINGS. AND I THINK OF THE PEOPLE THE I WENT TO REHAB WITH. THAT I KNOW THEY COULDN'T GET THREW THEIR DEPRESSION. I MISS THEM ALOT. YOUR SONG'S HELP ME GET THREW MY DEPRESSION SOMETIMES. THEY HAVE SO MUCH MEANING. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH. R. I. P. CHESTER. I LOVE YA ❤️
Chester is the center of my universe , nothing feels heavy around him.
RIP Chester
Why am I still crying every time I listen to this? 😭it's been 4 yrs Chester. We miss you!
Rip Chester, thank you to his family and to his wife and kids. He has forever changed the outlook on depression and why you should ask for help.
I don't know why, but tears fell down my eyes. Hearing Chester's voice gave me goosebumps
That voice was and is so wonderful. He had so much damn talent
“One less light” is more like it. We miss you so much Chester. I speak for everyone here. You were loved and cherished. Such a magnificent talent gone way way too soon…
Who cares if one more light goes out? We do….
🥰🥰🥰
One more light. One more.
Still watch this video every week without fail....rip chester never forgotten 🙏
2023 and I'm mourning Chester so badly.....he was so beautiful inside and out and the world was better with him in it ... forever heartbroken over this man I never got to meet ....I envy every single person that knew him...🥺💔💔💔
Chester is incredible. So sad I never got to see them live. Thank you linkin park. I will always be a fan. Been through tough times and I’ve always found sanity through listening to LP. Thank you all so very much.
Chester screams ♥
I miss him
Y u leave us dear chester. It hurts so much. Losing such a talented artist. Rip chester u always be remembered. Legend. #linkinparklives.
Thank you Chester. Thank you Sofia.
I didn't even know this guy personally but after all the hardships his songs have gotten me through
since I was in middle school over ten years ago - it feels like I lost a friend.
Chester's voice is just so revealing. It inspires me, bringing confidence and emotions I always seem to forget I had. Didn't know you, but you held me together in the worst of situations, man. From 14 and still keeping me there @ 31.
“How u guys doin?“ :(
I'm not crying, you are
#whyistheairsospicy
Man this shit hits hard R.I.P Chester such a powerful voice
RIP Chester. Such a big loss to music and to his family. I find myself watching various LP clips just feeling sad, even though it's been a long time. I'll never forget.
Only people who understands depression and being so alone can understand his pain, hearing him singing I can feel his pain...we love you rest in peace Chester beddington ❤
I was crying before the song even started. Just hearing Chester's voice gave me instant chills
This is so good but you must hear “Live Not Survive” or “Winding Road” by SLT 🤘
Your voice left to our hearts. Wishing you to be come back ONCE more. May the almighty father keep you safe. We love you Chester
This song still hurts my heart. I miss Chester every single time I hear it. 😭 But I mostly feel so sad for his family and friends. ❤ RIP Chester
