So here is the backstory. Mike Shinoda, founder (and resident rapper) of the band wrote this song for a member of Linkin Park's sound team dying from cancer, and this would end up being the title track for their (at the time) most recent album "One More Light". Chester Bennington, who battled depression and suicidal thoughts his entire life, was the lead vocalist of Linkin Park. When Chris Cornell, his best friend and lead vocalist of Soundgarden, committed suicide, Chester sung this song in dedication to him while on tour for One More Light. Not too long after, Chester committed suicide himself.   So in essence, it has become a tribute to 3 people. The voice you hear singing the song is indeed Chester. The music video was made as a tribute to him and released post mortem, as the final Linkin Park music video featuring the voice of Chester until the band later released unreleased songs and demos from the past. The logo you see at the end was the logo they introduced in 2017, featuring the typical Linkin Park lettering within a hexagon, with each side representing a member of the band. But they removed the upper left side for this video, representing the fact that Chester was gone.

The world was crushed on Chester’s death.

1 man can save millions, but millions can't save 1 man..✌️

Song takes on new meaning after Chester, the lead singer, took his own life shortly after. Breaking the Habit and Numb are good intros to the band.

Chester Bennington
Sang like an angel..
Screamed like a demon 😢

R.I.P there'll never be another

Okay so backstory: this song was written for a friend of the band who died of cancer, in the middle of writing chester bennington (lead singer)’s good friend committed suicide. Then the next year chester committed suicide on that friend’s birthday (chris cornel, another musician)

Not having listened to linkin park before is wild 🫨

Please don't feel bad for not knowing anything about them, that's absolutely okay!
Linkin Park is a band that's really emotionally importat to a lot of people. They have always made lyrics that many people could really relate to, and lead singer Chester Bennington had an incredibly emotionally authentic and expressive voice. For many people, listening to Linkin Park really felt like you had someone with you who understood you.
Chester passed after this song was made, but the band dedicated the music video to him. He's the one you see singing there, and who is featured heavily in all the video they used to make this.
Linkin Park have made both heavier and softer music, in many different genres or mixes of genres; this is among their softest snd more pop songs. If you want to try something on the other end of the spectrum, I'd suggest something like "Given Up" or "Faint".
If you want to see them live, there is a great performance of "Given Up" at Clarkston 2007, and of "Faint" at Rock am Ring 2007.
If you would like to hear something still quite soft, but different from this, I'd suggest one of my personal favourites, which is "Waiting For The End".
And of course, you should see if you don't recognise their megahits"In The End" and "Numb".

Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song, hope to see you react to more Linkin Park ❤

knowing theres people out there that have never once heard the breathtaking music that is linkin park really makes me sad.
i think every person on earth should hear them at least once.

In the kitchen, one more chair than you need. A universal truth, we have all been there 😢

The parts of Chester hugging a fan who starts crying after and when Chester and Mike fist bump always get to me.

As a Gen X dude, I would recommend you listen to their music. They helped my generation through our hard times. Maybe their words can guide the next generation.

As soon as I heard his voice I choked up. RIP

Like many others in my generation, there are times that putting on Linkin Park in my headphones saved me.  Chesters voice, with zero exaggeration, saved my life.

In that last scene, when he blows a kiss to the audience, that was his goodbye to his fans.😢
There's a video that shows that full performance of this song. I said goodbye to them for the longest time before singing while Mike kept playing the intro over and over on the piano. He was the only one who knew that was his last performance. He was the only one that cared.

Man it’s been 8 years and I still miss Chester

they are one if the greates musician of all time, if you talk about the history of music, you have to mention them, they are legends

Please react to the song "So Far Away" by Avenged Sevenfold, This song was written in honor of the drummer of Avenged Sevenfold (The Rev) who passed away in 2009

Chester was a 1 in a million artist and human, the impact he had on the world and music is impossible to place in a paragraph. I highly recommend looking into the bands history and story and hear the songs that brought up a entire generation

This is not meant to be offensive by any means, but for fans of linkin park this song hits on a totally different level knowing the backstory of this song. RIP Chester you will forever be missed!
