To this day, I have never heard a song pattern this complex. Snares on the halves, and don't even get me started with the kicks. This was truly the best expirement LP ever created and it paid off. The Piano breakdown still makes me cry everytime, it's just too perfect.
After "Crawling", "The Catalyst" has always been my favorite song of Linkin Park. Growing up this band was a staple to my daily soundtrack, especially when my only other escapes were reading or painting. I was a loner and so my only constant companions were my books and music. After some years I stopped listening to Linkin Park, my musical tastes expanded, I started listening to other musicians and genres that took up space and today that makes me sad. I feel like my heart is being squeezed by a cold hand. I still can't believe Chester Bennington is no longer with us but I hope and pray he's finally at peace. And I hope all the love and peace and resignation take over his family, wife, and children and eventually don't begrudge him for taking this fatal and final step to get rid of that horrifying, fanged demon that depression is. It's not that he didn't love them or they didn't mean anything to him, it's just that sadly, this horrible mind cancer was too aggressive to live with and not all the talent, money, fame, fans, and love of everyone around him could make it bearable to live with. It's so tragic and it really hurts me to the deepest point in my soul that some people find death the only possible cure to their pain. But I grew up with a suicidal parent, and after a lifetime of studying and researching and talking to them, I see that as heartbreaking as suicide is for those of us who stay behind, sometimes, if we really love our loved ones, we must understand that for them not allowing that horrible illness to keep constantly gnaw at their mind and distort their life is when they will finally be at peace. I hope that his kids love him and keep loving him even more now, and that they will hopefully someday understand that dad wasn't selfish, just a sensitive soul that life had thrown too much at him and just had to go.
AjaOfVeelox: You wrote a beautiful obituary--it's almost a song, it could become one. . ."a sensitive soul that life had thrown too much at, so he just had to go." I too had a suicidal parent, and after many years, am still conflicted about it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
first of I feel your pain I always loved linkinpark and I will always will but for chester to commit suicide is doughtful I heard he was after this big pedophile organization and they had to assassinate him otherwise why would he go to his friend s house to kill him self
@@bahaishtar4815, so what you are saying is that he was trying to capture/stop this pedophilia ring? Would make sense since he was sexually abused as a child and would to stop these sick gangs of freaks from hurting and scaring other children in the process. Smh, that's sad; when somebody finally wants to get up and do something they get killed for it. Just like exposing Illuminati. R.I.P Chester. You will be missed.
I am always amazed by how chester and shinoda created an almost perfect mix with their voices and ways of singing. each of them is a great singer and artist in its own right, but the combination of both of them is the true essence of linkin park in my eyes
I still remember when Linkin Park first released this track, fans had no idea what to make of it. At first, it seemed universally hated but over time it slowly gained a strange sense of respect. Now that Chester's gone, its hard to gauge how the general fanbase feels about it, but I know I've grown to appreciate it more than ever before. Such a unique album.
I remember where I was. On the phone with a new girlfriend for the radio debut. She loved it. I absolutely hated it. Now its possibly my favorite 6 minutes of music ever mastered. The payoff is insane.
Where oceans bleed into the sky... This has always been my favorite LP song. I hate that everyone is dying. It's hard to mourn for so many people. Chester was so important in the music of our generation. I've learned from losing my grandfather you don't know just how important someone is until they are gone. Chester is one of those people. I never was a huge fan and got to know the member or even watch for concerts, but I did listen to the music. And my god we lost a good one.
What’s your opinion on the meaning of “Where oceans bleed into the sky”? I took it to describe the evaporation that comes from the radiation of nuclear war. The line creates imagery that really adds to the apocalyptic vibe of the entire song. Soooo beautiful and sooo sad.
This song still gives me goosebumps when I hear it. It was so spot on in its message and it warned us of the disasters that could arise from us continuing to damage our world. At least that's the message I got from it. That album as a whole was probably my favourite LP album because they took a risk and experimented with styles they didn't normally use and it came together beautifully. Makes me miss the legendary Chester more than ever because his voice was just out of this world. Rest In Power Legend.
I literally thought the same. When I hear that song it is like they transmitting me how fucked up the world is in real and we all need to open our eyes. I mean we all know there are good and bad things but this highlights more that we need to see what is going on in our environment actually.
I was seven when I first listened to this song and to Linkin Park. 10 years later I still love them and I listen to them almost everyday. I'm sure I'm still listening in 10 more years
LP has been on my mind every day since Chester died :( Fell in love with their music all over again and this song is one of my favourites for sure.......amoungst many ...true
My thoughts: The song makes me think we need Gods mercy for all our sins..Oww how many sins are made in this thousands of years by billion of people..ow how Great is Your Mercy through Jesus, thanks for this awesome song LP
Being awesome is about how you feel about yourself not what others think about you because if you live life caring about what others think my friend to be honest you are a slave of humanity
@@loganscott5992 the answer is neither teach people how to use guns right. And there will be no more issues. The reason people lack discipline is in it's own saying, nobody is teaching discipline. Everyone is thinking of either fight or flight, those are not the only options. Aren't we supposed to be sentient and past being bound only to animalistic urges? If people want to live in the past or take steps backwards in evolution, doesn't that mean they go extinct? So that explains why they are dying off. So much for their desperate temper tantrum screaming of survival of the fittest. A return is not the same as going backwards. If you talk genetics, then it could have been: it was carried all this time, or something similar came in, or something else. Those are not regression of genes. A regression of genes, however, is usually not good. Anyways there are other options. Like teaching responsibility and discipline. Sometimes it's not them, but the trainers, teachers, etc. If people mistrain or not train, what do you expect?
2020. The catalyst explains how lonley i am i my mum and died when i.was 16 i have no girl no wife and kids i survived somehow...😥😥😥 chester miss you linkin park god bless us broken lonley ones
God bless us everyone we are a broken people living under loaded gun. So true we need God to be with us because of these evil people who are trying to oppress us just because they think that their gods
Thank yo so much Linkin Park for the songs you gave us. Everytime I listen you am in a different world. Chester, you will always be missed. The lines lift me up... let me go has a different meaning now that you are gone. RIP Chester 😭😓
My god, everytime i start to listen Linkin Park's songs, i find new masterpieces and i can't be more in love with this. Chester, you were so much for this fucking world. We didn't deserve you❤
And when I close my eyes tonight two symphonies of blinding light I fought the world of you and I where oceans bleed into the sky.. this song will be played at my funeral soon can't wait to meet Chester
This song gives me haunting vibes about life today, especially the first part. RIP to all victims of mass shootings, including the 19 innocent kids and 2 teachers who lost their lives for no reason in Uvalde. 💔
For those who follow the Truth, accept Jesus is Lord & repent... We have received His mercy and it is awesome 💜 It’s so hard when we allow the things of this world to cloud the Eternal Truth.
This song makes me think of the sinking of the titanic. If you have ever been on the ocean at night, the stars reflecting off water, the oceans and sky become one. And hoping for god to save them, freezing memories, help, lift me up, no, nevermind, let me go. I will transcend. My new vampire life awaits.
cameron deener It makes me sad, because they have some generally great games. Not to pretentious with the story line, decent combat, pretty good graphics, yet they're over shadowed by CoD and Battlefield :^(
Honestly, this is for me the most epic Linkin Park song. It gets me so hyped everytime I listen to it.
this is one of the most creative groups that I have ever listened to in the last few years as I have such respect for their music....
wrg
Me too! That‘s awesome!!!
True
This song is stuck in my mind
My 7 year old daughter sings it constantly and then we gotta just blast it. This group was just THAT good it's amazing and sad at the same time
To this day, I have never heard a song pattern this complex. Snares on the halves, and don't even get me started with the kicks. This was truly the best expirement LP ever created and it paid off. The Piano breakdown still makes me cry everytime, it's just too perfect.
Add to it the turn table and it's a modern masterpiece
The wicked end avenged sevenfold and that's one very many
I agree the album is good but it is by no means the best experirmental album ever
Tell me about the kicks
Genshin impact has crazy orchestra music. Reminds me of how innovative Linkin park was tho!

This is my fav linkin park song it’s so good
U are fucking stupid, I guess. We are broken people, living on an loaded gun, what else do u need?
After 'New Divide', the 'Catalyst' has been my favourite since I started listening to Linkin Park and the songs keep getting better.
You do know that Chester is gone right?
@@mrdemon6120 Does this matter with this dude comment?
Also In the end is epic

I love Wretches and Kings for some reason. I don’t even know why.
@@sharkyj1796 I would say it’s when you look out in the ochean and the part where you stop seeing out the water just joins the sky
Maybe They were implying The Firmament?
Lift me up let me go is just beautiful
Always gives me chills down my whole body
Heard that part as I was driving one late night - I agree, beautiful.
I always hold my breath when that part finally comes
yes this sentence means everything since the death of chester
Yeah tha final thing worth waiting

Man i miss chester hes songs helped me when my depression was on a gd one and still his songs help me to this day rip Chester
R.I.P Chester.
He died speaking the truth. The ones that have our eyes opened know. ❤
I was seven when I first listened to this song and to Linkin Park. 10 years later I still love them and I listen to them almost everyday.
I'm sure I'm still listening in 10 more years
I thought it was weird of me to be vibing to linkin park while in the car at around 6, damn.
Glad I'm not as weird as I thought!
@@Resetium Or we are just both weird
@@roggenmischbrot good point, could be everyone around me and everyone around you is weird.
Though at some point, the roles flip.
LP has been on my mind every day since Chester died :( Fell in love with their music all over again and this song is one of my favourites for sure.......amoungst many ...true
They used this song for the ending of Medal of Honor
Walker White and also the trailer
Thats how I first heard lp...
Same. First heard this in the Medal of Honor trailer.
It wasnt Castle Of Glass that they used in Medal Of Honor?
@@darkguy347 this was used in medal of honor. Castile of glass was used in warfighter
My thoughts: The song makes me think we need Gods mercy for all our sins..Oww how many sins are made in this thousands of years by billion of people..ow how Great is Your Mercy through Jesus, thanks for this awesome song LP
I get chills when Chester's part comes in.... Hot damn
what an incredible musical selection; this group moves me to the core of my soul....
God bless us everyone we're a broken people living under loaded gun
Nobody Special is aw some
Welcome to the United States. Where we would rather train our teachers in gunshot wound compression than regulate firearms.

Out of all their songs, this is the one that makes me cry the most
Lift me up. Let me go. - Chester
Rip😭❤
Lately I'm listening more Linkin Park... Last months. Back to my teenage ❤️
Rest in peace Chester Bennington
In the first verse, when chester starts singing "and when i close my eyes tonight." I get goosebumps cause i can feel that passion in his voice
Chester was the essence of Linkin park, rest in peace Chester.✝️☦🙏
Chester, you Never failed the world.. We failed you!
Thank yo so much Linkin Park for the songs you gave us. Everytime I listen you am in a different world. Chester, you will always be missed. The lines lift me up... let me go has a different meaning now that you are gone. RIP Chester 😭😓

This is the greatest song that Linkin Park ever did. A lot of their music has unfortunately become a meme, but this is *spectacular.*
The song was great to the ending to Medal of Honor. #RIPChesterBennington
I could listen to their songs all day! Which I do😊
This song fits this year...
Every year since 2020.

2:40 - 3:10 best tune I ever had heard
One of my new favourites for sure, I love LP ❤
Its been 7-8 years since i last listened to this song
This is the only full (long) version on RUclips. The official Linkin Park channel doesn't even have it uploaded.
Been looking for this for a while. Glad I finally found it
Well now God took you up there.. Rest in peace :(
He’s got such an amazing vocal range. Miss you everyday😭
OLD is GOLD
I miss Chester so much! He was awesome! 😭
The music video is awesome.
Lp always in our blood lots of love n respect
This song is gold
This song gives me haunting vibes about life today, especially the first part. RIP to all victims of mass shootings, including the 19 innocent kids and 2 teachers who lost their lives for no reason in Uvalde. 💔
An absolute gun song. Forever LP❤❤❤
Epic lyrics n song love Linkin Park and upsetting when I listen, but listening honors Chester's memory. RIP

May we never forget the fallen American soldiers. They will forever live among us through my memory alone if that's what it takes

Goddamnit I miss him so much. Fuck.

Well Chester did leave us with a bang. Thanks man rest in peace.
I was only 5 when this came out and this was also my few first linkin park song I had listened to ❤️
Honestly I wanted this full version in the official video 😭
Me too
We really are the broken people who living under the loaded guns.
The end song after playing medal of honor❤️ an amazing game
Lift me uuuuuppppp let me gooooooooooooo
Why hasnt no one done this song for a call of duty ending? That would be epic
cameron deener
Because Medal of Honor already did it.
Ah, okay. I really haven't played Medal of Honor so didn't really know.
cameron deener
It makes me sad, because they have some generally great games. Not to pretentious with the story line, decent combat, pretty good graphics, yet they're over shadowed by CoD and Battlefield :^(
I know, ArmA's a pretty good combat sim ,decent graphics and all that, but also sad that alot of more people play CoD or Battlefield than ArmA
As competitive shooters go, CS:GO is at the top. Rainbow Six Siege is the best counter-terrorism simulator.
02.08.2020 Happy Birthday "The Catalyst" 10 years old
Amazing seeing this live when they finally reunited as a band again was very touching
Lyrically beautiful...
I listen to all kinds of music to be inspired cause im a musician. Im taking from what my GOD has invested in people
How's that going?
RIP Chester..never shall you be broken again.. Amen
