I don't want them to release all of it now. There will come a day when there is nothing left. No more first hearing of Chester's voice. I can't. Give it to me slowly and let me still have those fleeting moments of feeling like he's still here. 🥺
I feel you man 😔 originally I heard Mike said they weren't gonna release this song any time soon, probably was gonna save it for an anniversary album, but I think he was probably thinking he wouldn't be around or something by then, idk. Cause 20 years of One More Light would be.... 2037 😅
Seeing him smile breaks my heart too. Its not the song that made me cry but to watch them record this in the studio and see them work together again, its like he never left,like linkin park is still together putting out new music. Even after 7 years I'm still heartbroken over his death. My opportunity to meet him and the band was taken from me 10 days before the show because thats when he did it. I cry so hard when I watch their videos because I missed out on giving them hugs and thanking them, especially Chester
Friendly Fire (quite a lovely song, BTW) is being released on a best of LP compilation in April called Papercuts that will include a couple of songs that haven't been released previously... including QWERTY, which is FINALLY getting an official release.
This was a recording for the one more light album in 2017, but it didn't make it. It is similar to songs like "halfway right" or "Sharp edges" which were on the album.
It feels to me like a continuation of Talking To Myself almost, which is the song before Battle Symphony, so it would stand to reason that may have been where this was intended to sit.
Seeing Chester smile literally made me break down and sob when i watched this video yesterday. I didnt ever think I would feel the loss of someone i never knew so deeply. I miss him so much 😢 Much love from Arizona 💜💜
This song made me cry so freaking much Chester voice was coming from heaven and still hearing his voice is a magical feeling that i can't even explain with words
I feel it's a song that reflects on the connection between Chester's fans & how hurt he felt after social media trashed the"One More Light" album. He took the negative comments really personally, fired back at the haters, and realized "we went too far" in a general sense. We all did... Looking back, fans shouldn't have been so harsh on the band over OML. 😞 RIP Chester
I AM NOT CRYING....YOU ARE! Damn I miss him in music and his vocals were, and still are, unmatched. Not even that awesome kid on Tik Tok can do Chester, better than Chester. Rest in Eternal Peace Chester.
I am literally bawling my head off, listening to this! The song totally fits what’s going on in my life right now! Funny how shit works like that with them? I miss him and them so much! But I’m so grateful they’re taking us on this journey with them as they unpack all of this and bleed it out for us and with us as well! We’re all still dealing in our own grief, loss and love! I’m just so grateful that they had cameras on them thank you guys and thank you Alex! You were the first person I thought of when I heard this song!
There are 3 moments that destroyed my heart... The starting, when Chester enters the room and all the other members smiles.. when Mike and Chester had a punch to punch... And when they had a reunion before the concert with huge smiles... Love you guys.. very much ❤❤
We miss you Chester. Greetings from Germany. We realize at this Moment, that Linkin Park was the best Band when i was a Teenager. I'm now over 40 and i miss this Band. They were more than The Rolling Stones and more than Nirvana. IT was the Spirit of my youth .. great song
You can always tell when Mike Shinoda has produced the music because everything is always so crisp and beautiful. You can hear everything from the sound effects to the guitars and every single hit on the drum kit… but nothing is ever highlighted more than Chester’s voice. Mike is more than a musical genius, he’s a human. He understands the sort of reaction that people have to Chester’s voice and his lyrics and all he ever does is help to add strength and power to it without ever covering it. Thank you guys for another song to remember Chester by.
Thank you and Love you Alex you're a good person and hope for the best for you. The song is really beautiful I miss chester so much. Linkin park is my favorite band of all time and their legacy will live forever❤
Man, I fully understand the "comforting pain" feeling - I am beyond grateful that I still get to hear stuff from the band, and yet it physically hurts. 💔And you're right about the perfection of a production this is, I'd be curious to know how involved Mike was in it. Thank you for this!
I agree Alex but for me it's not just seeing him smiling, it's actually seeing him that breaks my heart. I've been a Linkin Park fan since they came out so when Mike released Lost I got teary but the 1st time I watched this video & saw Chester, that was it I cried. RIP Chester, you may be gone but you will never be forgotten!
I wear a #makechesterproud bracelet everyday and I named my cat Chester after CB!! He touched my life sooo much, his music and voice spoke to me!! 😢and still speak to me!!! He will never be forgotten!!
I just wanna let you all know, Chester is my idol and has been my entire life. Linkin Park were by my side and their music helped me through so much and such heavy trauma (no details here). I miss Chester so much, and I'm still going through so much and THEY STILL HELP EVEN NOW!!! They are the best musicians in the WORLD
Seeing this almost feels like Chester is just hidden from the world, not dead. I couldn’t handle this music when it came how. I teared up so much that my bf was worried. LP is always there when you most need them, even when you don’t know you actually do 🖤
I’ll never forgive myself for not going to the live concert. They visited my country only once when I was like 15 or 16, they played with depeche mode then. I got to see Depeche mode years later, but I won’t ever get to see Linkin Park live and it literally pains my insides😢 I cry a little every time I get to listen to some new tracks with Chester’s voice😢❤ My no 1 since Hybrid Theory
Hearing Chester's voice again is a pain we don't want to feel but need to feel. The raw emotion and power that Chester put into everything he sang, resonates within the soul. As painful as it is to hear Chester again and as confusing as it is for my brain to see him in another video. Seeing and hearing Chester again reminds me every time to just keep pushing no matter how hard life gets. He reminds me that life is fragile and should be cherished. R.I.P Chester you're forever loved and remembered.
😭😭😢 Chester and Linkin Park opened up my eyes to the music I listen to today, and I am forever grateful for them. They continue pulling my heart strings, releasing new/ old music that Chester was a part of. This hit me in the feels, and I will be listening to this on repeat forever.
This opened some fresh wounds from me and my girlfriend having to put down our 17 year old cat 4 days ago. Linkin Park is still one of my favorite bands and hearing Chester's voice is both painful and comforting at the same time. R.I.P CHESTER
You put it perfectly! Linkin Park songs are amazing, and they are so powerful. But you can have your first listen and be impressed. 5 listens in and it's 25 times better. They are geniuses!
That was a great reaction video Alex, you did Chester proud. That song was amazing, and I could see you moving and grooving. Thanks for posting this. Take care Alex. 😊
Its so surreal to me seeing him singing like this. Just like it has been recorded a short time back not years... Saw Mike Shinoda back in 2019 on his tour in Germany performing the album he wrote to cope with the death of his best friend and seeing them singing together in this song breaks my heart a bit. Beautiful song. Nice to see and hear him again.
I understand the brain craziness, with Chester. I do the same when it comes to Static X. I miss Chester and Wayne so much that when I hear their voice in old recordings in new songs, it brings me to a comfort zone!!! Makes me happy and feel like they're always going to be here.
It's amazing how music and one person can touch so many people. If only Chester knew how many lives he saved that maybe he would have saved his. R.I.P. CHESTER
I BAWLED when I watched that video. Chester is one of the only celebs that I ever really felt sad when they passed, and I spent DAYS listening to One More Light after the news broke.
It's akin to being asked about life with a best friend who passed away seven years ago. It evokes a mix of pain and cherished memories, leaving you torn between gratitude for the inquiry and frustration at the resurgence of old wounds.
Think about how fucking successful they became. Everyone knows the name Linkin Park and at least one of their songs, and here 7 years after Chester's death, they still have 10's of millions, if not 100's of millions of fans world wide. The new song dropped a day ago and it already have over 1 million views and on Spotify they have 40 million people listening to them monthly. Tell me any other band besides Queen, that 7 years after they stopped are still so relevant and still drops new music, that millions of fans flock to the second it's up. I fucking love Linkin Park, they will always be the best band of the 21st century. Of course I got tears in my eyes listening to this so, we fucking miss you so much Chester.
Of all the music artists that we've lost over the years, Chester is the one who I don't think I'll ever get over losing, I cried when we lost ones like MJ, Prince, Chris Cornell, Whitney Houston, etc., but Chester's death hit me the hardest of all. Hearing his voice and seeing him after all these years both hurts and makes me happy, because of how much he and the rest of the band saved me, and many others as well, I just wish we could've done the same for him. R.I.P. Chester, we all miss you deeply, and hope to see you again one day.
It's a powerful thing when someone can save lives from beyond the grave. I wish he could have saved himself in that moment but he'll never be forgotten and his story will forever help to save those who embrace his message. Chester, I love what you've done for me and millions like me. I will leave out all the rest. You are perfect in my eyes. We all miss you dearly.
ALEX!!!!! Just THANK YOU!!!! Thank you for making this video!! I really didn't expect it!! Like I didn't expect LP to release yet another song after Chesters passing, as my kids said "Is that really Chester" it is so surreal to actually SEE HIM SING THE SONG! A hole new level from 'Lost' but so happy they realised it!!!❤ like I am that you realised this!! And I as always agree with so much your saying, it helps makes me feel like om not alone in this experience, that some one I don't know private, feels the same.way as I so❤ So thank you again for doing this! Means a lot to me!!!
Honestly, when One More Light was released, it faced a lot of backlash from fans. I remember seeing comments criticizing it everywhere. The entire band was under fire. Now, with the tragic loss of the person who helped so many of us through his music, suddenly everyone is expressing love for tracks like "Friendly Fire." It's disappointing to witness. Nonetheless, I wish the band strength during this difficult time. Thank you for the incredible music that has meant so much to me for the past 24 years, and counting. Meeting Mike at his show in Bangkok was a highlight for me, and I hope to have the chance to meet the rest of the band someday.
I miss Chester so so soo much. I'm new to your channel, but not to LP. They've been part of my life since 2001-02. I enjoy hearing Chester, but one day... there won't be anymore "new" songs. I'll cherish the music that we have though. I already fell in love with this one.
Fantastic reaction, Alex! I love, and completely agree with, every take you had for this video. It is gut wrenching and painful, yet comforting and uplifting, to hear Chester and Linkin Park again. This song and its lyrics could not be more appropriate for my life right now. LP has been with me when I have needed them the most, and I am eternally grateful for that.
every time i listen to LP its friking hurts to the bottom of my heart!! ive have been listening LP since teenager, and still 20+ years later brings me back to to my childhood. Chester for ever 😪
He's here, but he's not here. Going through that about my grandfather right now. He passed on the 10th from RSV and other complications. My grandmother and I are still feeling in that no-mans-land. That One More Light "empty chair" line.
My brother took his life in 2020 when he was 30yrs old. Linkin Parks album One More Light was how we helped his kids find words to deal with his death.
Seeing him smile made tear up… what made me BAWL WAS WATCHING THE FIST BUMP BETWEEN CHESTER & MIKE! Something I’d seen them do at least a dozen times live it just made me ache inside and out!
I like to think he died so some of us don't, and when we start to forget that he sends us this, even thou it is new it feels old and the memories come back like a flood. This is such a blissful experience, to be alive and still experience he who is not. If we only trully die when forgotten, may he live forever.
When I saw they released a new song, I immediately started crying Whilst listening to it, I was sobbing When I saw Chester in the premiere of the music video, I started again I miss him And Linkin Park‘s music literally saved my life, it’s too good to be true But we have it and we need it sometimes
2:38 I know exactly what you mean, for a brief moment it felt like he was still alive and that feeling was just liberating. Suddenly you realize that a small part of him will live on in all of us. It's incredibly great that Linkin Park makes this clear to us. In an ocean of darkness a small spark is the light of hope, we all carry this spark within us. light up the darkness
Chester, Layne, Chris, Shannon, Andy, Scott, Kurt, Mark, the list is endless of Lead Singers that have unfortunately left us entirely too soon. As a 57 year old man, outside of Chester, these guys were my peers and bands I gravitated towards through the 90s. This music and these musicians were my "Camelot" so to speak, and could there have been a "cooler" bunch of guys leading the way? To me they were like a bunch of Dark Angels roaming the planet. Unfortunately most of them have left us but I'll say this..... when my demons come calling, and another sunrise doesn't feel possible, I'll ALWAYS have their music to pull me through like it has so many times before. Chester was like the "little brother" to Chris which influenced me to listen to LP more. My point is, these "Dark Angels" which many dismiss and label as "depressing drug addicts" were so much more to so many. They are greatly missed, especially this 57 year old man.
My brain still goes into the moment thinking he's still alive as well😢 he is still alive through his music and that's what's so beautiful he'll never die❤
My heart xo so glad to see your beautiful face and another Linkin Park reaction xo these heal my soul ❤ thanks for coming back Alex xo I missed these so much
Chester is never dead. He will always be here through his music!!! (I go through this state you mentioned too, where i realise he is not here anymore) But he is. Always
My guy...I just came across a newer metal band called Plush...all female. They opened for Disturbed last night and they won me and the ENTIRE crowd over, and I think you will love them! Check out their cover of Barracuda they just released, to catch the hype on the vocalist. I also recommend you check out their singles Hurt as well as Left Behind...just mind blowingly good and as good live in concert! They deserve to be MAJOR STARS!
It's the kind of pain that reminds you you're still alive to feel anything at all, and that brings with it a sense of relief and hope because it means you are not too far gone to come back again. On the topic of new music Tom MacDonald has been releasing new videos as well. The one he dropped this morning, "The Machine," is worth checking out.

I don't want them to release all of it now. There will come a day when there is nothing left. No more first hearing of Chester's voice. I can't. Give it to me slowly and let me still have those fleeting moments of feeling like he's still here. 🥺

100% this!!
100% this
WELLL SAID MANNNNN
Agree!!
"Seeing him smile breaks my heart". Me too Alex.....
Miss you Chester
Honestly same
Watching on Chesters birthday today
@@sandramckee2604 Yeah I've been watching quite a few today too.
"Linkin park songs saves lives".
At least they saved mine.
I hope you are doing okay now
Its saved mine many times
same brotha.Saved me too
Glad you are still with us!
@@Droghan thanks i appreciate you
Didn't think I would ever cry again at 31 years old hearing some new music from the Master himself, RIP Chester, thank you for everything.
Gosh, same here, this song combined with this video hits hard
Same...
Listen to Lorna Shore, the Pain Remains Trilogy and get back to me, I break down crying half the time I listen to it.
I will listen to it right now!
@@jasonnielsen5976
I’m 31 as well and this song hits just as deep as it their songs first did when I was 13. #MakeChesterProud
Alex Is back for LP❤.
Chester is a gift for humanity, thanks for everything Linkin Park ❤
Exactly 😢
Word!!!
Seeing him smile breaks my heart too. Its not the song that made me cry but to watch them record this in the studio and see them work together again, its like he never left,like linkin park is still together putting out new music. Even after 7 years I'm still heartbroken over his death. My opportunity to meet him and the band was taken from me 10 days before the show because thats when he did it. I cry so hard when I watch their videos because I missed out on giving them hugs and thanking them, especially Chester
He was taken by Hollywood not himself wake up
Friendly Fire (quite a lovely song, BTW) is being released on a best of LP compilation in April called Papercuts that will include a couple of songs that haven't been released previously... including QWERTY, which is FINALLY getting an official release.
Hell yeah, Qwerty is a awesome song, can't wait!!
Good to know! Thanks x
As a huge Linkin Park fan I was not ready for this song either. It's so heartbreaking. 😭😭
Thanks for this reaction. Your channel is amazing.
His voice soothes my soul. Love this new song! R.I.P. Chester B. And thank you for getting me through CANCER! ❤ you always 😢.
Thank you for not making me wait for your reaction! 😭 😭 😭 😭
This was a recording for the one more light album in 2017, but it didn't make it. It is similar to songs like "halfway right" or "Sharp edges" which were on the album.
and the last chorus in the beginning sounds similar to Battle Symphony as well.
it's also better than most of the album lollllllll
It feels to me like a continuation of Talking To Myself almost, which is the song before Battle Symphony, so it would stand to reason that may have been where this was intended to sit.
Alex honestly I cried 4 times today 😢😢😢I miss him so much rest in peace Chester
Right there with you! How can you mourn someone so deeply you’ve never met. Chester is that for me.
@@KWCardDesignexactly I never met him and honestly I regret not getting the chance to see him live
@@samirahassan2079 same here!!!
Seeing Chester smile literally made me break down and sob when i watched this video yesterday. I didnt ever think I would feel the loss of someone i never knew so deeply. I miss him so much 😢

“But when Linkin Park drops a new song, all burn out goes away”. I think we all can relate to this 🤟🏻
Feeling shattered wasn’t something I was expecting to feel today
Same fr fr
Same
I am literally bawling my head off, listening to this! The song totally fits what’s going on in my life right now! Funny how shit works like that with them? I miss him and them so much!

We love linkin park we love chester ❤
i love and hate this feeling of knowing that he isn´t around with us but he left so many precious messages.... love you chester
There are 3 moments that destroyed my heart... The starting, when Chester enters the room and all the other members smiles.. when Mike and Chester had a punch to punch... And when they had a reunion before the concert with huge smiles... Love you guys.. very much ❤❤
Made my heart smile and break at the same time 🖤
And when Chester walked into the room and everyone lit up, Oh My God ❤
We miss you Chester. Greetings from Germany. We realize at this Moment, that Linkin Park was the best Band when i was a Teenager. I'm now over 40 and i miss this Band. They were more than The Rolling Stones and more than Nirvana. IT was the Spirit of my youth .. great song

Of course the production is so crisp, Mike Shinoda is a genius and one of the best producers in music
I literally was crying all morning. I hope Chester can see the impact that he's had on so many people's lives.
Thank you and Love you Alex you're a good person and hope for the best for you.
The song is really beautiful I miss chester so much.
Linkin park is my favorite band of all time and their legacy will live forever❤

One of my favourite LP tracks despite it only being out a few days. It's catchy, full of emotion, and the video is beautiful
😭😭😢 Chester and Linkin Park opened up my eyes to the music I listen to today, and I am forever grateful for them. They continue pulling my heart strings, releasing new/ old music that Chester was a part of. This hit me in the feels, and I will be listening to this on repeat forever.
This opened some fresh wounds from me and my girlfriend having to put down our 17 year old cat 4 days ago. Linkin Park is still one of my favorite bands and hearing Chester's voice is both painful and comforting at the same time. R.I.P CHESTER
Great! now I'm going into a doctor's appointment with tears in my eyes.
"Music is Power"
Great to see you back Alex. Your music reactions are what got me started with reaction channels.
This song is amazing, and makes me super sad every single time I listen to it... Miss you chester.
You put it perfectly! Linkin Park songs are amazing, and they are so powerful. But you can have your first listen and be impressed. 5 listens in and it's 25 times better. They are geniuses!
listening to chester's voice like this feels like a warm hug...
That was a great reaction video Alex, you did Chester proud. That song was amazing, and I could see you moving and grooving. Thanks for posting this. Take care Alex. 😊

It's amazing how music and one person can touch so many people. If only Chester knew how many lives he saved that maybe he would have saved his. R.I.P. CHESTER
What really breaks my heart is the band's faces as they sit there listening to their friend. That hit hard.
I BAWLED when I watched that video. Chester is one of the only celebs that I ever really felt sad when they passed, and I spent DAYS listening to One More Light after the news broke.
It's akin to being asked about life with a best friend who passed away seven years ago. It evokes a mix of pain and cherished memories, leaving you torn between gratitude for the inquiry and frustration at the resurgence of old wounds.
I miss him so much 😢😢😢😢
Think about how fucking successful they became. Everyone knows the name Linkin Park and at least one of their songs, and here 7 years after Chester's death, they still have 10's of millions, if not 100's of millions of fans world wide. The new song dropped a day ago and it already have over 1 million views and on Spotify they have 40 million people listening to them monthly. Tell me any other band besides Queen, that 7 years after they stopped are still so relevant and still drops new music, that millions of fans flock to the second it's up. I fucking love Linkin Park, they will always be the best band of the 21st century. Of course I got tears in my eyes listening to this so, we fucking miss you so much Chester.
Am always ready to hear new material with Chester, thank you linkin park.
Of all the music artists that we've lost over the years, Chester is the one who I don't think I'll ever get over losing, I cried when we lost ones like MJ, Prince, Chris Cornell, Whitney Houston, etc., but Chester's death hit me the hardest of all. Hearing his voice and seeing him after all these years both hurts and makes me happy, because of how much he and the rest of the band saved me, and many others as well, I just wish we could've done the same for him.
R.I.P. Chester, we all miss you deeply, and hope to see you again one day.
And I'm crushed all-over again. Rest in peace Chester
Chester changed so many people’s lives! I absolutely miss Chester. His voice got me through a lot of dark times in my life. Long live Chester!!
New music in 2024 gotta love it
Linkin Park are by far the BEST band we have. Chester will forever be missed dearly 😢😢😢😢😢😢
It's a powerful thing when someone can save lives from beyond the grave. I wish he could have saved himself in that moment but he'll never be forgotten and his story will forever help to save those who embrace his message. Chester, I love what you've done for me and millions like me. I will leave out all the rest. You are perfect in my eyes. We all miss you dearly.
Welcome back. Rip Chester
Chester always had a perfect voice for all their song.s. i love friendly fire. 😎🎶🔥🙏
These words & this song HIT HOME
linkin park has this special ability just bypass all of your emotional and mental defenses and cut deep especially with chesters voice
Rest in Peace legend Chester, hearing his voice is and was always great to hear. 💜💜💜💜

every time i listen to LP its friking hurts to the bottom of my heart!! ive have been listening LP since teenager, and still 20+ years later brings me back to to my childhood. Chester for ever 😪
He's here, but he's not here. Going through that about my grandfather right now. He passed on the 10th from RSV and other complications. My grandmother and I are still feeling in that no-mans-land. That One More Light "empty chair" line.
Linkin park is emotion, and i love them so much, and yes i miss chester too❤
My brother took his life in 2020 when he was 30yrs old. Linkin Parks album One More Light was how we helped his kids find words to deal with his death.
Seeing him smile made tear up… what made me BAWL WAS WATCHING THE FIST BUMP BETWEEN CHESTER & MIKE! Something I’d seen them do at least a dozen times live it just made me ache inside and out!
You're not alone there's a major part of my brain that refuses to believe he's gone. I miss him every day 😢
I missed this channel. Welcome back, pls stay 🙏🏻
I like to think he died so some of us don't, and when we start to forget that he sends us this, even thou it is new it feels old and the memories come back like a flood. This is such a blissful experience, to be alive and still experience he who is not. If we only trully die when forgotten, may he live forever.
I still struggle to listen to Linkin Park without getting upset. RIP Chester ❤
This song was trhown to my timeline earlier randomly and it hit me so, so hard. I cried. For Chester and also for friendships I lost to friendly fire.
When I saw they released a new song, I immediately started crying
Whilst listening to it, I was sobbing
When I saw Chester in the premiere of the music video, I started again
I miss him
And Linkin Park‘s music literally saved my life, it’s too good to be true
But we have it and we need it sometimes
2:38 I know exactly what you mean, for a brief moment it felt like he was still alive and that feeling was just liberating.
Suddenly you realize that a small part of him will live on in all of us. It's incredibly great that Linkin Park makes this clear to us.
In an ocean of darkness a small spark is the light of hope, we all carry this spark within us.
light up the darkness
It's nice to see u back. Keep it coming❤❤❤❤
Chester, Layne, Chris, Shannon, Andy, Scott, Kurt, Mark, the list is endless of Lead Singers that have unfortunately left us entirely too soon. As a 57 year old man, outside of Chester, these guys were my peers and bands I gravitated towards through the 90s. This music and these musicians were my "Camelot" so to speak, and could there have been a "cooler" bunch of guys leading the way? To me they were like a bunch of Dark Angels roaming the planet. Unfortunately most of them have left us but I'll say this..... when my demons come calling, and another sunrise doesn't feel possible, I'll ALWAYS have their music to pull me through like it has so many times before. Chester was like the "little brother" to Chris which influenced me to listen to LP more. My point is, these "Dark Angels" which many dismiss and label as "depressing drug addicts" were so much more to so many. They are greatly missed, especially this 57 year old man.
I was SO PROUD that I didn't cry......then the end hit and I was like UH OHHHHHHHH and been teary ever since. Miss Chester so friggin much!
My brain still goes into the moment thinking he's still alive as well😢 he is still alive through his music and that's what's so beautiful he'll never die❤
My heart xo so glad to see your beautiful face and another Linkin Park reaction xo these heal my soul ❤ thanks for coming back Alex xo I missed these so much
It took me months to finally listen to this this is the second time hearing it . I just wasn't ready...
Chester is never dead. He will always be here through his music!!! (I go through this state you mentioned too, where i realise he is not here anymore) But he is. Always
I'm just crying...after all those years ...
I saw this early this morning and got chills...outside a great song and it's so nice to see video footage of chester
Nobody will ever be better then them together forever ❤
So good to see you!! We miss you! ❤️
Just hearing his voice brings me to tears.
Watching that and seeing Chester, my heart was broken thinking about how much they must miss him, knowing how much I do. ahhh
My guy...I just came across a newer metal band called Plush...all female. They opened for Disturbed last night and they won me and the ENTIRE crowd over, and I think you will love them! Check out their cover of Barracuda they just released, to catch the hype on the vocalist. I also recommend you check out their singles Hurt as well as Left Behind...just mind blowingly good and as good live in concert! They deserve to be MAJOR STARS!
...´cause this music right here can save lives!...
saved me for 7 times🖤
Such an angelic voice and the smiles the crew was sharing are so touching. This is just what we all needed, but as always brings up such emotion.
It's the kind of pain that reminds you you're still alive to feel anything at all, and that brings with it a sense of relief and hope because it means you are not too far gone to come back again.
On the topic of new music Tom MacDonald has been releasing new videos as well. The one he dropped this morning, "The Machine," is worth checking out.
