I think they said in an interview, they didn't release the song back then because it would have been on the same album as numb, and they seemed too similar
Yeah, Mike stated that they had finished the song, but they ended up with 14 songs but had set their minds to only having 13 songs on the album. They also felt that the song was too similar to both structure wise and melodically to Numb, so not only having it not only on the same album but also would've been right next to each other on the album so they axed it. It ended up getting lost and forgotten on a hardrive in a drawer somewhere until they found it looking for material to release with the 20th anniversary album
when this and "Fighting Myself" first got released, and we got to hear Chester's voice on a new track, it was almost like he was back for a a few minutes.
4:57 the layering of Chester’s vocals had me literally sobbing the first time I listened. I’m not a very emotional person, I rarely show too much emotion but when it comes to Linkin Park, they’re such an integral part of my life, Chester’s voice hits home every time and having an unreleased song 6 years after his passing is incredible. Most of the other artists I listen to are country but Linkin Park will always be my favorite band and artists. Their blend of different elements in unmatched, and how they do it in a rock band formation is musical perfection.
@@bro2917 100% agreed, that incredible note at the 3:25 mark of Rolling In The Deep when he says “pay me back and reap just what you sow” just shows his insane range of vocal skills and the high pitch next couple of lines before he goes back to his regular singing voice. I love Chester man, always gonna be my favorite vocalist of all time
So glad I got to see these guys live at least once, co-headlining with Incubus. They closed the gig at Jones Beach Amphitheatre. (look it up) It's outdoors and it was raining during a hot summer night, and lightning was hitting the Atlantic Ocean in the background. They just kept playing and doing pyrotechnics during the show. We were all wet, and nobody cared. It' was magical. Chester sounds EXACTLY the same live as he does in the studio, it's wild. RIP legend. I wish I could have whispered something in your ear to make you not make that decision to end you own life, but I suppose that's wishful thinking. You helped more people than you'll ever know.
One of my favorite bands ever. After Chester left us, it’s hard for me to listen to any of their discography without me breaking down. This song especially. I can keep it together until “But I’m tired.” I love and miss him so much.
"I'm lost in these memories, Living behind my own illusion, Lost all my dignity, Living inside my own confusion" I feel that deep inside myself, I am the same when im alone too much free time for the brain to betray me... i function better with someone around me because alone its like the demons take over if that makes sense? I'm so sad i was too young to go to LP concerts as a kid, ill never have that chance, miss Chester!
This song was released when I was in my deepest and darkest depression of my life. I didn't know if I would live to see the end of the year. Chester and Linkin Park once again were there when I needed them most. They put words to my pain and gave voice to what I was going through, they made me feel less alone. Even from beyond, Chester helped me to keep pushing forward. 🧡
This song hit different. Losing Chester and Linkin Park was so hard for me because I listend to them for 20 years. And than when it finally got better this song came out and hit right in the feels again.
Your reactions are truly the best here on YT, no fake crying, just pure honesty. Would like to see more LP reactions on here, a few of my favs are Shadow of the Day, Hands Held High, Final Masquerade, Breaking the Habit and Burning in the Skies. Greetings from Germany 🤙🏼
I think so too, I love her reactions, they're just so honest and pure. I love your songchoices, mine would be Nobody Can Save Me, Sharp Edges, Powerless, Lost In The Echo, Robot Boy, Waiting For The End, From The Inside, Leave Out All The Rest and Across The Line. Also greetings from Germany! 🤙🏼
Speaking as a chronic depression sufferer who is currently doing okay for once, I think Linkin Parks music has always hit home for me because I've always related to that suffering. I don't know exactly what Chester went through, but I know from their work that we've dealt with a lot of the same feelings. I never know when I'm going to spiral and be struggling not to jump off a cliff. Living life fantasizing about putting a gun to my head is my normal. But right now I'm thankfully allowing myself to believe I can change. I think that shadow will always haunt me, but my hope is to put as much distance between us as I can. Rest in peace to Chester. I hope he's no longer battling those demons.
I'm the same. Weird sense of relief thinking about it. We're both still here though, for our own reasons. Keep up the strength! All the best to you! Keep up the resistance!
I will never know myself until i do this on my own And i will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed I will never be anything 'til i break away from me I will break away, i'll find myself today Yes, keep finding yourself
I feel that the reason it's so hard for you to put into words, is exactly the reason this art exists. I've always felt certain music (like this) puts what we FEEL in front of us. Its not always reason, or easily articulated...its just how we "feel". They put music to what we can't express in simple words.
Nice reaction. It's funny you say it's very similar to Numb, because that's the reason it wasn't included on the album according to Mike Shinoda in multiple interviews. It's awesome that the band released it (and a few other songs as well) so that we can have a last bit of that amazing old school Linkin Park sound that so many of us love. More Linkin Park reactions (anything by them, it's all solid) would be welcome, as well as Mike Shinoda's new single "Already Over" (which sounds like it could easily have been a Linkin Park release).
1:39 For me, his voice fills the giant void in my heart. It hits perfectly, dead on, everytime... Like a guarantee he will reach you where you're needing to be reached. Deep down to your core. I'm grateful I grew up with Linkin Park during those vulnerable teenage years. 🙏
If you notice in the animation, the girl is trying to save a fox that is trapped on a mountain peak, and when the girl finally gets to where the fox is supposed to be, the ground where she was standing turns dark with the silhouette of the fox, as if she was dead.
"I try to keep this pain inside, but I will never be alright." Always messes me up. It's a chronic illness. It won't go away. We have to struggle with it, every day, forever. Yes there are happy and fun moments, and good coping mechanisms that help us survive and fight. But there's no cure. And anyone who loses the fight still deserves the utmost respect for having the strength to fight for as long as they could. Rest in peace Chester.
When I heard this. I thought. Awesome, a new LP song with Chester.. So cool. But when the moment came and he started to sing, it just hit so differently than I expected. I can listen to there old music just fine. But for some reason a new song with him just hit so differently than I thought. His voice just made me shiver right away, I did not expect it to hit in that way.. And the fact it was so unexpected make it so much more. And the moment he sings. " I am tired " there is a break in his voice, its like its pulled out. its just. Amazing song. and I can't put words on it, but what ever I am feeling, I really did not think I would feel listening to this song when I heard it the first time. An other things after hearing it many times now. When the " I tried to keep this pain inside, but I will never be alright " Looking back there are many of the things he sung where people say, well he was telling us. But those lines are not like that, it was more a. He feared this, and it turned out to be true. Suffering from chronical mental illness is something you fight your entire life, and the best you can do is fight so it does not effect others. But you know inside you will never get to be alright. All the things others live for, is something you can never have, and there is not anything you can do about it. When you live it, that thought is the most heavy thing you carry. No matter what, your life will always be that, I will never be alright. Nothing can change it, no amount of love, wealth, power. I can have everything I ever desired, and I will still not be alright. Linkin Park always meant a lot to me, I was a teenager when they made it big. And they made so many amazing songs. And the influence they had on music is almost unrivaled, so many modern bands was and is influences by LP.. I do have an emotional favorite song though. I have "some" tattoos, and I have designed them myself, with the old Norse way of being used to tell my own story with them. So I do not have things from songs, or poems, or pictures whatever. Other than one thing. LP have a song called " This is my December " Not one of there most known, but I listened to it a lot. And I have in my tattoo the " This is my December " as a ode to LP. the only connection I have to any lyrics or band, so it means something. It also made sense because I am born in December, so it still tells that story. plus other connections to December. But for that reason I would say that is the most important LP song for me, can't say if its my favorite.
One More Light was always such a hard listen for me after the fact, but this one hits even more close to home for me. Hard not to tear up to this but it has become one of my favorite LP songs. RIP Chester 💔
THIS SONG is about the betrayal he underwent by that older friend who abused and wrecked him. The abandonedment by his mother and his father not being there for him. My word the anguish in his voice is almost too much. HOW COULD THE WORLD HAVE FAILED THIS PERSON SO HORRIBLY. I would rather had there never been the toxic childhood of this man and no LP with Chester still here as just a normal person than what WAS and him gone. For all his brilliance & talent he was a scared little boy just looking for a place to belong and be happy. Sadly He never found it in this broken world. Hope hes at peace now with God who takes away all pain.
This song reminds me soo much of Linkin Park's Lost In The Echo. The tone, the music and lyrics tugging at the heart strings. Both songs talk about being "lost in memories", and "lost in the echos".
I like the way you dissected this song. Your words were very to the point and made so much sense. I see such a comparison between Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington as far as they were both vocalizing their depression which very unfortunately led to both of their suicides. I will always miss them but they live on in their music 🎶 forever. RIP Ch ris and Chester. Thank you foryour professional input on this great song ❤
Info for you: This Song was Recorded for Meteora, but Numb and Lost weak the same Emotions so they decide to Release Numb and delete Lost from the Album. 24 years Later Mike decide to release the song years after Chesters passing.........
I bought this album months ago, I had too.. I was a teenager back in the LP days, early 2000's... Hearing his voice again, is like travelling to the past.
Mike Shinoda wrote most of Linkin Park's lyrics. People keep missing pointing this out and always just give Chester all the credit because of his voice and emotion.
So much this. It's frustrating how people will talk about how moving the lyrics are, and then act like Chester was the only one in the band that mattered. And they think all the songs are about his depression.
Because they WERE!!!!! AND HE DID Any band he ended up in would have been huge. Without Chester Linkin Park wouldn't have gotten ANYWEHERE!!!!!@@PenneySounds
@@Theorcman2008 Yet Grey Daze never took off, while Xero got signed before Chester joined. Not to mention "The Rising Tied" outsold "Out of Ashes" by a wide margin. Chester brought something amazing to the band. But Mike is why the music was good.
when i first heard this song it struck a nerve in me. it brought me back to when i saw them at 12 years old and them being my favorite band. Chester got me through so much stuff in my life. I have their logo tattooed on me and it will always hold the deepest meaning behind all of my tattoos
Chester had been expressing his pain for a long, long, time. It's ironic though, his music has helped so many people choose the latter. He's a legend in a lot of different ways... He's my MVP.
When i heard they were releasing this song. It took me a long time to actually listen to the whole song. Cause once i heard chesters voice i stopped it and broke down, i couldnt finish it without crying, then one day when i was driving it was on the radio, i couldnt find the strength to change the channel and had to pull iver just to cry listening to it. Linkin park got me through very dark times and it was a major blow when he passed cause it was only 6 months after my grandma had passed so i felt like i was losing everyone and everything that i held close. Its 2024 and its still not any easier to hear his voice knwoing hes not around anymore and ill never be able to tell him how much his music saved me from myself.
First time I heard this song, I didn't even make it halfway through. I was tearing up and said to a friend, "Holy crap... this is a cry for help." Not a big fan of anime art style, but I think they did a really good job on it.
You got it right. It does sound a lot like Numb and has the Meteora signature. Reason why it wasnt included in that album. Also this was recorded and fully mastered almost 20 years ago and Mike confirmed in an interview that he hasnt remastered or retouched anything major. Thats something extraordinary. The way it sounds, feels like yesterday.
When this was first released I hadn't heard anything about the recording, I'd kind of dropped off keeping up with music news so had no scope that this was even a possible thing. I heard the song with no warning, no build up, no preamble or explanation, it just happened and it was like hearing a ghost, it shook me to my core, It felt like the first time I heard you know you're right by Nirvana, it was a deep, visceral emotion.
Mike Shinoda said they never released this due to the fact the album already had Numb on it and this had too many similarities to that and thus would have been overshadowed. They believed it would have made the album watered down with all the same song structure. I'm just glad they pulled it from the archives for us 20 years later in a time when the world needed a light of hope, Chester and Mike delivered again.
When I hear the words “…but I’m tired” idk just the way Chester B. Sounds always hits hard for me. It’s difficult not getting emotional upon hearing this.
My life is almost the same as Chester because in my life no one understands me. I am alone and full of suffering. Even though Chester is dead, Chester is still in my heart and always accompanies me every day and forever. And Chester is also always in the universe and above the stars
This is the only song from Linkin Park, that to this day. I cannot finish/listen to. When it comes on, i have to turn it off or switch the stations. Its too relatable for me and I just can't take it or talk about it
Yeah, that's a very touching song, and the video fits surprisingly well. Beautiful and sobering. I did have to chuckle a bit over you giving yourself a Picard facepalm. Few reactors would do that!
A "live in Texas" edit version was released a while ago, it's the closest thing to how this song would have sounded like live. I recommend that you react to that video.
If every other songs didn't make it clear the kind of things he was dealing with this one should. Yes tragically beautiful. Thats exactly why they didn't release this originally because it sounded to much alike, so this one got cut.
I love the music I cried cause I feel so lost cause I lost a good friend of mine who passed away in 2021 and Chester and his music will ALWAYS be in my heart forever man
Even before chesters passing, LP was hard to listen to cuz theyre the real shit imo. The actual thoughts and genuine feelings every song conveys is unmatched by most bands even nowadays. Now of course after chesters passing its a double edged sword, theres the sadness of both the meaning of each song and that chesters gone; along with to me what feels like comfort in hearing his voice again as if your catching up with an old friend or family member. To tell you the truth i was underwhelmed on my first listen cuz we all knew what to expect, but the meaning and feeling greatens every time for me. The day will never come when LP isnt a timeless classic that nearly everybody can relate to in some way
It's really hard for me to listen to this song. Being a huge Linkin park fan, that listened to this music my entire childhood, and early life. Some combination of the song musically is really nostalgic, along with the powerful lyrics, and the recent loss of Chester, I baby cried the first few times I heard it.
Watch chesters interviews ,poor guy was in so much pain and a world of hurt,the only way he could let go was his music,so badly missed,i hope you are suffering no more chester ❤️
try reacting to Linkin Park - from the inside in live, when Chester screams his voice is so rough, and when he changes to normal his voice is so clear and smooth, that's what makes his voice so beautiful, that's what amazes me ❤
I really love your Linkin Park reactions! As a big LP fan, I recommend you to react to QWERTY (Summer Sonic Tokyo 2006) and Faint (Live at Rock Am Ring 2007).
In case you're curious. The music video is AI generated by using clips from actual clips from other sources. For example their Live in Texas performance but also some of their music videos such as Breaking The Habit. The video also uses clips from anime animation called White Rabbit and some other stuff as well.
This song was recorded in 2002-2003 for the Meteora album but was left off because it sounded too similar to Numb. When this song first released for the Meteora 20 year anniversary album, i made the controversial opinion that Lost was better than Numb. I also admit that I'm unsure if i would think the same had it originally released with Meteora/Numb.
'Numb', yes, agreed. And I would add 'Crawling' to that sentiment. Don't worry. EVERY Human has brain-fart moments every once in a while. Don't beat yourself up about it. It's fine, nobody got hurt. Happy New Year. :)
"Lost" and "Numb" were created at the same time, but were too similar sounding per Mike Shinoda that they decided to just go with "Numb" for the Meteora album. That's why you keep comparing them to one another because they are very similar sounding and were created in the same vein of musical thinking and lyrical writing at that point in the band's career. That's why "Lost" sounds like it could've been off that album.
hi I love the reactions you make in the comment, the analysis honestly continues, it’s great you should watch the singer loic nottet, he is a Belgian singer who sings in English (on million eyes) and in French (on mr mme)
Please react to Lovebites with their song A Frozen Serenade the live version. Lovebites is an all female heavy metal band from Japan who sing in English. Lovebites won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band.
You have to react to some Eluveitie! Some great choices from an older lineup, The Call of the Mountains, Inis Mona, King...then try Rebirth from a newer lineup. Then spin off bands like Cellar Darling and Lyrre! 😁

that part of "but i'm tired..." man, that chills
I feel when he said that that he was just tired of living and of life.
Honestly though, I feel that all the way through
Just hearing the pain and sadness in his lyrics now really gives you chills. It was like his cry for help.
It was his battle symphony
I think they said in an interview, they didn't release the song back then because it would have been on the same album as numb, and they seemed too similar
,It was for Meteora Álbum
@@AntonioGarcez yeah that's what im saying, numb was on meteora

Yes that’s 100% true but listening to it u really feel that your reading Chester diary almost miss him so much 😢
Ironically, I prefer this over numb
when this and "Fighting Myself" first got released, and we got to hear Chester's voice on a new track, it was almost like he was back for a a few minutes.
I was so sad and so happy at the same time. Sad because I know he's still gone but happy for hearing him in a new song again.

I feel like I wrote this comment
Country is terrible.
So glad I got to see these guys live at least once, co-headlining with Incubus. They closed the gig at Jones Beach Amphitheatre.

RIP legend. I wish I could have whispered something in your ear to make you not make that decision to end you own life, but I suppose that's wishful thinking. You helped more people than you'll ever know.
saw the same tour, was one of the best concerts ive been to
One of my favorite bands ever. After Chester left us, it’s hard for me to listen to any of their discography without me breaking down. This song especially. I can keep it together until “But I’m tired.” I love and miss him so much.
Me too I grew up on them and when this song dropped I was at work and I had to hide out in the bathroom because I couldn't stop crying, I miss Chester
For real
Only death of a celebrity that made me cry 😔
Just the emotion you can hear in his voice when he says "but I'm tired..."... I tear up every time.
"I'm lost in these memories, Living behind my own illusion, Lost all my dignity, Living inside my own confusion" I feel that deep inside myself, I am the same when im alone too much free time for the brain to betray me... i function better with someone around me because alone its like the demons take over if that makes sense?

So much this. It's frustrating how people will talk about how moving the lyrics are, and then act like Chester was the only one in the band that mattered. And they think all the songs are about his depression.
Because they WERE!!!!! AND HE DID Any band he ended up in would have been huge. Without Chester Linkin Park wouldn't have gotten ANYWEHERE!!!!!@@PenneySounds
@@Theorcman2008 Yet Grey Daze never took off, while Xero got signed before Chester joined. Not to mention "The Rising Tied" outsold "Out of Ashes" by a wide margin.
Chester brought something amazing to the band. But Mike is why the music was good.
@@PenneySounds Mike and Brad, and to an extent Joe are really integral to the sound of the band for sure.
@@McSireson Mike alone is like 50% of the band's sound, minimum. Often more, depending on the song. And like 80% of the lyrics.
Sad but in reality it was a great tribute to him 😢, it’s a really great and special song!
Nice 🌹
when i first heard this song it struck a nerve in me. it brought me back to when i saw them at 12 years old and them being my favorite band. Chester got me through so much stuff in my life. I have their logo tattooed on me and it will always hold the deepest meaning behind all of my tattoos
Chester had been expressing his pain for a long, long, time. It's ironic though, his music has helped so many people choose the latter. He's a legend in a lot of different ways... He's my MVP.
When i heard they were releasing this song. It took me a long time to actually listen to the whole song. Cause once i heard chesters voice i stopped it and broke down, i couldnt finish it without crying, then one day when i was driving it was on the radio, i couldnt find the strength to change the channel and had to pull iver just to cry listening to it. Linkin park got me through very dark times and it was a major blow when he passed cause it was only 6 months after my grandma had passed so i felt like i was losing everyone and everything that i held close. Its 2024 and its still not any easier to hear his voice knwoing hes not around anymore and ill never be able to tell him how much his music saved me from myself.
Their song "heavy" came out on my birthday, and it was a song that spoke to me personally
First time I heard this song, I didn't even make it halfway through. I was tearing up and said to a friend, "Holy crap... this is a cry for help."
Not a big fan of anime art style, but I think they did a really good job on it.
Gracias por tu reacción. Disfruto mucho estas reacciones. Saludos desde Venezuela.
You got it right. It does sound a lot like Numb and has the Meteora signature.
Reason why it wasnt included in that album.
Also this was recorded and fully mastered almost 20 years ago and Mike confirmed in an interview that he hasnt remastered or retouched anything major. Thats something extraordinary. The way it sounds, feels like yesterday.
When this was first released I hadn't heard anything about the recording, I'd kind of dropped off keeping up with music news so had no scope that this was even a possible thing. I heard the song with no warning, no build up, no preamble or explanation, it just happened and it was like hearing a ghost, it shook me to my core, It felt like the first time I heard you know you're right by Nirvana, it was a deep, visceral emotion.
hell yeah ray reacting to linkin park is always a good time, also bitter sweet, we miss you chester, thanks for your videos ray
Mike Shinoda said they never released this due to the fact the album already had Numb on it and this had too many similarities to that and thus would have been overshadowed. They believed it would have made the album watered down with all the same song structure.
I'm just glad they pulled it from the archives for us 20 years later in a time when the world needed a light of hope, Chester and Mike delivered again.
When I hear the words “…but I’m tired” idk just the way Chester B. Sounds always hits hard for me. It’s difficult not getting emotional upon hearing this.
My life is almost the same as Chester because in my life no one understands me. I am alone and full of suffering. Even though Chester is dead, Chester is still in my heart and always accompanies me every day and forever.
And Chester is also always in the universe and above the stars
This is the only song from Linkin Park, that to this day. I cannot finish/listen to. When it comes on, i have to turn it off or switch the stations. Its too relatable for me and I just can't take it or talk about it
RIP Chester. We love you so much ❤
Yeah, that's a very touching song, and the video fits surprisingly well. Beautiful and sobering.
I did have to chuckle a bit over you giving yourself a Picard facepalm. Few reactors would do that!
5 years later we still get new song from chester from linkin park,grey daze and featured songs.
A "live in Texas" edit version was released a while ago, it's the closest thing to how this song would have sounded like live. I recommend that you react to that video.
Every time i see and listen to that track with my heart i start crying like a baby....and i am 53 yrs old :( RIP Chester
If every other songs didn't make it clear the kind of things he was dealing with this one should. Yes tragically beautiful.
Thats exactly why they didn't release this originally because it sounded to much alike, so this one got cut.
I love the music I cried cause I feel so lost cause I lost a good friend of mine who passed away in 2021 and Chester and his music will ALWAYS be in my heart forever man
I have always some trouble hearing this song. I always gets very emotional.
BEAUTIFUL GIRL CONGRATS.
This song had me crying like a baby first time I heard it
RIP legend Chester :( This song hit rly hard .
Found one of my new favourite music reactors, amazing Vids!😅
Even before chesters passing, LP was hard to listen to cuz theyre the real shit imo. The actual thoughts and genuine feelings every song conveys is unmatched by most bands even nowadays. Now of course after chesters passing its a double edged sword, theres the sadness of both the meaning of each song and that chesters gone; along with to me what feels like comfort in hearing his voice again as if your catching up with an old friend or family member. To tell you the truth i was underwhelmed on my first listen cuz we all knew what to expect, but the meaning and feeling greatens every time for me. The day will never come when LP isnt a timeless classic that nearly everybody can relate to in some way
this wasn't released for that very reason, cause it was so close to numb, so it got cut from the album.
we are blessed they gave it to us anyway
It's really hard for me to listen to this song. Being a huge Linkin park fan, that listened to this music my entire childhood, and early life.
Some combination of the song musically is really nostalgic, along with the powerful lyrics, and the recent loss of Chester, I baby cried the first few times I heard it.
Chester Is Unique. His voice Is Unique. His charisma, beauty. Chester Is the perfection. Eternally❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Watch chesters interviews ,poor guy was in so much pain and a world of hurt,the only way he could let go was his music,so badly missed,i hope you are suffering no more chester ❤️
"Friendly Fire" 🥹
The lyrics are so descriptive of his any many peoples troubles. It’s a shame he couldn’t hang in and continue to be an example of making it through.
I can relate to this song
Say it for the hundredth time but "But I'm tired" will haunt me forever
I've been thinking about the same thing for a long time, I'm from Finland, and I don't understand everything. But I've thought about it a lot lol
Breaking the Habit, From the Inside
"We've come full circle. I'm a ding dong." lmao
Linkin Park - Waiting For The End (Live In Moscow 2011) it's Very Beautiful Performance
damn shes beyond gorgeous i got not words @-@
try reacting to Linkin Park - from the inside in live, when Chester screams his voice is so rough, and when he changes to normal his voice is so clear and smooth, that's what makes his voice so beautiful, that's what amazes me ❤
This song was recorded way back when Meteora was, it's not a recent song, jic. It was supposed to be on the album instead of Numb. ^^
I really love your Linkin Park reactions! As a big LP fan, I recommend you to react to QWERTY (Summer Sonic Tokyo 2006) and Faint (Live at Rock Am Ring 2007).
Chester Bennington one of the greatest singer vocalist... sings like an angel screams like a beast...
In case you're curious. The music video is AI generated by using clips from actual clips from other sources. For example their Live in Texas performance but also some of their music videos such as Breaking The Habit. The video also uses clips from anime animation called White Rabbit and some other stuff as well.
Thanks Chester ,,,,u knew me
I have the same issues as chester and when he says illusions it means the alternate really we make and hide behind.
BEST
LP
SONG
EVER
This song was recorded in 2002-2003 for the Meteora album but was left off because it sounded too similar to Numb.
When this song first released for the Meteora 20 year anniversary album, i made the controversial opinion that Lost was better than Numb. I also admit that I'm unsure if i would think the same had it originally released with Meteora/Numb.
'Numb', yes, agreed. And I would add 'Crawling' to that sentiment.
Don't worry. EVERY Human has brain-fart moments every once in a while. Don't beat yourself up about it. It's fine, nobody got hurt.
Happy New Year. :)
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL REACTOR ON RUclips ❤
How the hell did nearly every song he release be a cry for help and yet no one listened
i was bawling when i first heard this song and still have a hard time while listening
Miss you Chester ❤😢
I am lost too, Happy New Years Friends 🥰😘
"Lost" and "Numb" were created at the same time, but were too similar sounding per Mike Shinoda that they decided to just go with "Numb" for the Meteora album. That's why you keep comparing them to one another because they are very similar sounding and were created in the same vein of musical thinking and lyrical writing at that point in the band's career. That's why "Lost" sounds like it could've been off that album.
Still gutted we will never get to hear the great man sing this live 😢
I miss him.
Hope his family is doing alright ❤
It's similarity to Numb is why it was left off the meteora album.
I have ptsd, know they pain hes singing about,wish i could have been ther for him.
Please react to "Mezmer" by "Pinkly Smooth"
"Pinkly Smooth" is a band created by The Rev and Synyster Gates, before Avenged Sevenfold even existed
Not sure if it has been said, but there's a video comparing all the animation to previous work (live, BTS, and videos) and originals.
next "she couldn't" its so good
hi I love the reactions you make in the comment, the analysis honestly continues, it’s great
you should watch the singer loic nottet, he is a Belgian singer who sings in English (on million eyes) and in French (on mr mme)
Please react to Lovebites with their song A Frozen Serenade the live version. Lovebites is an all female heavy metal band from Japan who sing in English. Lovebites won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods award for best new band.
i love your brain fart when trying to remember Numb. that was funny
You have to react to some Eluveitie! Some great choices from an older lineup, The Call of the Mountains, Inis Mona, King...then try Rebirth from a newer lineup. Then spin off bands like Cellar Darling and Lyrre! 😁
So related😢
Eyo...this girl can sing.
This track was originally meant to be on the Meteora album but was put to one side as sounded to similar to another, can you guess which track?
Nice react 💗
