Mike Shinoda is his own person now, own songs, own sound. Chester will always be so proud for him that he continued and is making amazing music, but we all need to let it go. Stop comparing him to Chester or saying that it would sound better with him in it. I get it, we are still mourning, but we need to build Mike up, not keep him at a constant stage of no levity. So comment something happy or something about HIS music, support him. Anyway, the song is amazing just as expected 💕
YES. I hate seeing RIP Chester comments over and over on everything to do with LP, including the guys' birthday posts. Besides that being completely tactless, I think people forget that Linkin Park wasn't just Chester. _If we can't let go, we'll never say goodbye..._
To be honest it’s like Chester’s gone now it’s all for themselves now in cut linkin park out in everyone defend themselves now sorry mike but I’m a guy that thinks u should keep something with the boys
@@michaeljames1337 i mean, he did already explain his points on these things. Watch his interviews and catch up, he already made it clear that he is not abandoning his bandmates.
I never comment on RUclips, but needed to say this. Mike, your Post-Traumatic album is one of the few examples of grief in modern day media that delves deep into all the raw, confusing, contradictory, painful, angry parts of grief that can't be made tidy, can't be tied into a neat little bow for consumption. And I love it so much for it. NGL, this addition to the album made me sob, but in a way that's necessary. I've come back to different tracks in the darkest times after my wife's sudden passing at 30, and even though I know neither of us (or anyone really) can fully comprehend what grief means to each individual, sometimes just hearing that others are facing it head on is comforting. It makes the seemingly unbearable easier to bear. Thank you for what you do.
Noah you dumbass Mike was the composer, lyricist and a musician in most of Chesters songs even if you discount his vocal talent. So saying he's not a legend is the same as saying Chester isn't
I lost my brother to suicide in December. I was following Mike and his post traumatic work since the beginning. But, I was just an outsider, now, I’m a member of the shitty club that knows the hurt too. Thank you Mike for sharing your story and journey with us through your beautiful music. Seeing your strength despite the pain you have experienced gives me hope that I can survive this too.

I hope things work out for you better in the future
Not sure why I felt compelled to write this, but here goes: On 2/25/2008, Linkin Park came to Lexington, KY for their Minutes to Midnight tour. It was a special day for me because Linkin Park was performing in my state on my birthday and I was chosen to participate in the band meet & greet before the show. I walked into the room where the tables were set up and immediately thanked them for taking time to come to Kentucky to perform, just like I had rehearsed. Chester looked at me and said that the band was happy to come. I then spent what seemed like 5 awkward minutes staring wide-eyed and silent at my favorite band while they passed around my copy of Hybrid Theory to sign. On the way out, I excitedly blurted some comment about them coming to Louisville when the YUM Center was finished. Chester’s passing and the way that it came about touched a great many people. A lot became known about Chester’s private life. For me, it changed the way I listened to Linkin Park forever. I felt guilty that I could listen and relate to some of the themes in the band’s music, despite that my parents had a healthy marriage and friends that I could depend on for support. This past week I recognized that out of all the people I had met who had died, Chester might have been the closest to me, which is so nonsensical and paradoxical. But music isn’t really sensical. There is a bond that is made by sharing music with another person that is so powerful. A wise man told me that you can tell what kind of person someone is by with whom they spend their time. Well, I still listen to music an average of 5 hours a day, probably more time than I spend with most. Maybe you felt something similar when you think about Chester. But what I really wanted to tell you is that music is important. It’s more than something that drives me while I’m lifting weights. The connection that music makes is a real connection. The connection may be real, but so is pain, the struggle, and the shame we feel when we don’t meet expectations. But I believe that for the people music touches, the message and the connection is more powerful than that pain. My hope is that music continues to tell people that they’re not alone, and that there is something worth fighting for. Peace and love to all of you.
@@swiftlymurmurs nu, the like button on the actual video isn't very specific, it is a superset of feelings such as "oh i like this song", "i fucking love this song", "a song from my favorite artist, deserves a like no matter what" and many more. my button is for one such specific feeling :D
"A message spelled out in a language That only those who've been there Been there can read" That's my understanding of what post traumatic even is. Of course meaning is somewhat personal, but if you've been there you can relate. This is why music can be so inspiring when it's written from the inside.
Yeah, I put it as my background music while checking other things on my tabs and the words really hit me, tears tracking down my cheeks once I fully realized what they lyrics were.
Amen, Mike. I heard your song "Nothing Makes Sense Anymore" for the first time and thought I knew what you were saying. It wasn't until my husband died in October that I really understood them. Because it was exactly how I felt. I listened to it everyday for nearly 2 weeks after. I wish I did not underetand those words so completely.
Cheryl Adkins the hard truth is only once you ve lost someone you know what is like. I find that post traumatic describes inner feelings and even though someone says “I understand”, you know they don’t quite understand. Only once you be been there. Embrace your present and future. Those that love you, whether you see them or not, want you happy.
Cheryl Adkins sorry for your loss! I am glad Mike was able to help you through it with his music (in some way). Stay strong. The pain won’t ever fully go away, but it will become more manageable. :(
This is an ode to Chester. Mike relates how he listened to Chester and it was something like he never heard before. And even if they wrote the lyrics and composed the songs with Chester he never really understood how deep those lyrics and feelings actually went for Chester. And when Chester opened about his past with him Mike said in an interview that he was so shocked by the experiences Chester went through that it gave him a ew perspective. So Mike here talks about how he thought he was talking about himself in his lyrics and songs trying to relate it but he finally understands now how much these songs meant to Chester and so many countless other people who went though pain and trauma so deep that this was their only way out. Seeing this song from that perspective gives it a totally new meaning.
I had to deal with a lot of loss last year and I feel into a bad circulation of negative energy and actions. It took me a while to get out of it. Mike's music was what helped me get through the bas times and find myself. I thank him for his heart-spoken words... And there is no way to describe his music other than raw emotion.
I know how that felt. Post Traumatic dropped as a very long term relationship crumbled to nothing around me. Mike really helped me make it through some dark times, same as Linkin Park always had before. These new songs are incredible too.
I really have to say, even though I know it won't be seen. I lost my Dad in November of 2017, and it was sudden. I was home, and I witnessed the whole thing through my own eyes. I was lost for a long time, and didn't know how to cope. At all. But as I listened to Post Traumatic, I felt every word of every song. From songs like Nothing Makes Sense Anymore to this song... and to this day they still manage to make me feel so much. With my mental health on the constant fence, I really wish I didn't know what the words meant, but I always will now. Please, keep up the great music. You've helped me, and so many others so much through difficult times, and we'll be here for you through yours. Much love to you, Mike.
2018-2020 for me was a S#@t storm. I lost 5 loved ones, two friends, 3 family members and two of those deaths where suicide. I've been broken for so long, i kind of lost myself but I hear you, discovery of this album saved me. Something awoke in me, i just keep on going, I'm still tackled by grief sometimes but i remember i can play Mike's music sing/cry along sometimes very badly singing [slight chuckle]. I'm so sorry for your loss and i hope you're doing better now.
2nd verse is exactly how I felt about linkin park songs when I first started to listen to them and after read about the band and stories of how they became LP, It's awesome and something special that I'll never be. Love this song👍
The track describes my 10year journey with LP's music.. where I eventually got to know the real pain and darkness behind every LP lyrics and tune. Chaz was there.. in the darkness slurring out messages for us soldiers to keep going.
This was the light I was waiting for..Incredible work..I wish I could buy the album..Explains all of the "Post Traumatic" lyrics..Hitting hard..😢 #makechesterproud
'' A message spelled out in a language, that only those who've been there, been there can read. '' This means the Linkin Park song lyrics could be relatable only to those who were depressed. Mike was not depressed so he couldn't understand Chester that's what the legend Mike is saying here.
I think he means that he understands what he was writing now that he sees how chester went through it all. "I thought that they were written for me" suggests he wrote them for himself and realized chester related more than anyone just my theory though
Mike is talking about an album called "Three" by a group called Phantogram. Mike said he loved that album and felt like he understood it, until he had a conversation with the songwriter and learned it was about the death of her sister, and he listened to it again with new ears after that and understood it completely differently. "Even when it's not about you..."
This is how I feel about Post Traumatic. It is Brilliant and raw, but I do wish I couldn't relate to it. But with my father passing away recently to cancer, some of the songs and verses, are like a mirror to my own feelings. However, I do thank you for creating this wonder of sound. It helped me cope with it, to give it a place. With my personal feelings that go with the album, I don't know if I'll love an album more than this. I hope it helped you give a place to your feelings as well. Chester & Maarten, rest in piece.
This explains my relationship with Linkin park perfectly. I'm sorry it took me 20 years to understand, but you guys saved my life. I backed off because the sound changed after Meteora (I was 17 and the first in my small rural home town to obtain it). I think even I kept following I still would not have heard Chester or yourself. Just as your song emphasises on. When you know, you know. You don't get enough credit Mike. Chester took the spotlight and that because he was meant too. You were there to keep him here the best you could and you were the only person that could do that. Thankyou for everything. No band will ever mean more to me than LP. Yous are true pioneers of real life music. And you sound disguised the lyrics because that's how good it sounded.
After watching Mike’s latest interview with Howard Stern, this song hits me in the gut each time, after hearing what Mike told about Chester. The song is absolutely brilliant. Mike is so talented!!!
This song is the story of how I fell in love with Linkin Park. It grew from "I fucking love Numb, best song on the planet" to a full-blown love for the group and a deep appreciation for their style and message. Inevitably I learned about Chester, and it became so much more. #LinkinPark4Life #PostTraumatic
Amazing talent!! At first it’s difficult to not expect Chester. But then I realized this is about Mike and Chester and it’s its own thing and so heartbreaking and beautiful!’ Thank so much for singing for us Mike!!
His talent and emotion bleeds through to the core, also how Mike Shinoda has used this album as an outlet speaks volumes of his enlightenment. I am a huge fan, going through depression and listening to music like this I know that I’m not alone.
If legend = 100 level Mike = Boss of the game. You are the only boss who requires Wisdom, Justice and love in order for us to win. And the outcome ?is spreading love after all.
Mike, your performance is beyond praise. I like a lot of your songs simply because you perform them. This rarely happens to me. With all my heart I wish you success and happiness.
This is such a painful experience for Mike Shinoda, and he bared it for the whole world to see. I cannot stop crying for him because I know he is still carrying that pain inside and I know it is inconsolable. I have lost a best friend recently and all this hits me very deeply. I wish a hug could fix all that's wrong in the world.
Amazing! Everything you do is AMAZING. Mike you're an absolute GENIUS. Cheers for give us the most beautiful gift, your talent, voice and music. Love u, Mike🔥👏👏👏🎵👍.
So totally awesome. Mike is Mike and not Chester. We can still love Chester but Mike is Mike and he is loved too. Great music Mike. Rock on forever. Bonnie H..Battle Creek, Michigan. ✌🎶🎤❤❤❤✌🎶🎸🎶
The lyrics hit hard. Linkin Park has been my favourite band for as far as I can remember (where'd you go and in the end are literally the earliest memories I have and I'm 15 BTW). Having said that, fortunately I haven't had too much sadness in my life and so I may not relate to LP's lyrics as much as someone who has. But looking back on the songs after the loss, my thoughts and feelings are exactly what's written in this song in the sense that I see LP's lyrics in a new light with new meaning. It's like I'm able to understand Chester better. I feel this song and you Mike.
We have a similar style. I like that. At work I'm always singing and rapping. 😂 At home, nothing. I just lie down in silence and go to sleep. Wake up and watch RUclips videos. Keep up it up, Mike. You're doing good, brethren.
Mike will always be an inspiration to me. The heart and soul just fucking gets me. I sing along and it feels like a huge weight is lifted.. but i sometimes wonder where exactly is his soul in this... he makes me feel so much.
This album is getting better and better. Thank you, Mike. You are just the best singer I know. Which path you may choose I will help you as a part of your community. 🇬🇪
This is probably more emotion in it then Over Again and Prove you wrong. There something about this song just shows complete destruction for not seeing through the lyrics. Stay strong Mike!!
Thank you for your music and sharing your talent with the world. Your music touches my soul and I feel like it speaks to the darker parts and the lighter parts of me.
This song is about sarah barthles aka 1/2 of phantogram. So when I read the background story of this song she immediatley popped into my mind. Her sister commited suicide I think in 2015 and phantogram released their album three a year later (one of my favourites of 2016) which has quite the same theme as post traumatic.
It's a totally strange feeling listening to this, because I relate to it sooooo hard. I'm relating to a song about relating to songs! Because so many Linkin Park songs have inspired the same feeling for me. One more light, easier to run, breaking the habit, given up, numb, castle of glass, one step closer, somewhere I belong... the list could go on. They're songs that saved me from suicide so many times, helped me claw myself out of that dark place. Heck, Leave out all the rest was the song I requested to be played at my funeral when I wrote my suicide note. I've been in my darkest place yet, these last couple weeks. To the point that I lost all sense of direction, watched my hopes and dreams crushed in front of me. I thought that was it, I thought I couldn't take the hell I'm living any more. But you're saving my life every day because of these beautiful songs I can relate to. I'm so happy you're here, Mike. And I'm so happy that I can be here to listen to every new song you release. You've inspired me to keep living my life, and dedicate it to writing my own poems about the mental health issues I myself am facing, in the hopes that I can inspire people like my two heroes. And while I'm writing my own stuff, I've come to realise just how hard it is to get those emotions out, and yet how rewarding it is to have them on 'paper.' I can't even begin to consider the amount of heartache that you're going through. I hope to one day be able to buy a ticket to see you live. It's one of the only life ambitions I have left now. You're amazing, and I'm blessed to have known yours and Chester's voices when I have been so low. Thank you for that
Mike, I love how you share your thoughts with us all. Thank you. Myself and my family lost 15 close family and extended loved the ones within 2yr period. It takes time. ❤️ Will always have love for you. Your talent and your friendliness to others: Be kind to yourself, spend time with your loved ones xx
I never thought they were written for me. I see writing on the walls written by others, and it speaks through all of us due to transmitters and receivers.
Dear Mike, I am so glad that you have found a way to put your inner most feelings and all that you need to get out into your music & Share it with all of us! I personally want you to know that I until listening to the whole 18 tracks, didn't have a very good coping mechanism for the pain and suffering either. But, Mike it's like your music, ryms,voice are really helpful to me. You are very appreciated. I hope that you and the rest of LP can continue to do the healing process and find some happiness. Thank you, much love brother man ☆~{~~ Lulu
Wow it took me about half way through the song to realize what this was actually saying and understanding what mike is saying is actually really deep and eye opening. So powerful
I believe that he wrote about lp songs that they were so sad and Mike would never expect that Chester would do it. Don't say I'm wrong it is just an opinion. Thank you mr. Shinoda for your strength and beautiful music we love you🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is excellent it is nostalgic and makes you dwell into space with the electronics at the end. Im not really sure the meaning but it sounds like others suffer similar fates and if you don't know better you'll end up like them too.
OMG this is so relatable to me as someone with dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder). I wish i didn't know what the words meant when the others said them or understand the meaning behind the stories/images/screams they show me. Its like another language and i see the entire process of this education on my husbands face when he hears and see's what they've survived. Its devastating. Thank you for yet another masterpiece Mike. I know your meaning is probably so very different than what i take from this song, but like everything on your last EP, its relatable. Its grief, its anger, its soul breaking shock and despair to know what others have lived. Thanks for sharing your talent.

Mike, your Post-Traumatic album is one of the few examples of grief in modern day media that delves deep into all the raw, confusing, contradictory, painful, angry parts of grief that can't be made tidy, can't be tied into a neat little bow for consumption. And I love it so much for it. NGL, this addition to the album made me sob, but in a way that's necessary.
I've come back to different tracks in the darkest times after my wife's sudden passing at 30, and even though I know neither of us (or anyone really) can fully comprehend what grief means to each individual, sometimes just hearing that others are facing it head on is comforting. It makes the seemingly unbearable easier to bear.

@Gaming With Ryan Maybe you should do a little bit of research buddy, that's not true.
@Gaming With Ryan Nobody's trying to "replace" anyone. Even if they do get a new singer, they're not replacing Chester, they're adding a member.
@Gaming With Ryan No, you moron, no single person IS Linkin Park. It's a BAND. A band is comprised of multiple people, genius.
Why is everyone fighting about Mike shinoda "replacing" Chester even though he didnt replace anybody

WOW MIKE YOU'RE STILL DROPPING FIRE SONGS IN 2019
Barely have begun infact..
- "IOU"
the song is from his 2018 album though
He still is now in 2023 too
God this is deeper then people are realizing thanks Mike
You've got that right.. holy
100% right....goddamn.
Most people felt the same actually, its crazy even Mike couldnt fully comprehend the meaning behind chesters lyrics
@@bqfilms I wonder if it's because Chester was abused as a child and that's maybe where the lyrics came from. That's my interpretation.
Yeah, I put it as my background music while checking other things on my tabs and the words really hit me, tears tracking down my cheeks once I fully realized what they lyrics were.
Indian fans where you at!!!
Let's give our hero the push he deserves!! 🙌
yoooooooooooo
always with MIke ... till eternity
We are here!!!!!🙋🙋🙋🙋♥
Mike man u never know how deep u r 🖤 be strong be strong be strong that's wht chester want to say 🌟🌈
here. with Mike
Amen, Mike. I heard your song "Nothing Makes Sense Anymore" for the first time and thought I knew what you were saying. It wasn't until my husband died in October that I really understood them. Because it was exactly how I felt. I listened to it everyday for nearly 2 weeks after. I wish I did not underetand those words so completely.
Cheryl Adkins the hard truth is only once you ve lost someone you know what is like. I find that post traumatic describes inner feelings and even though someone says “I understand”, you know they don’t quite understand. Only once you be been there. Embrace your present and future. Those that love you, whether you see them or not, want you happy.
Cheryl Adkins sorry for your loss!
I am glad Mike was able to help you through it with his music (in some way). Stay strong. The pain won’t ever fully go away, but it will become more manageable. :(
Stay strong, dear!
I'm very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your husband, may he rest in peace.
Stay strong, Cheryl. Sorry for you loss. ))
This is an ode to Chester. Mike relates how he listened to Chester and it was something like he never heard before. And even if they wrote the lyrics and composed the songs with Chester he never really understood how deep those lyrics and feelings actually went for Chester. And when Chester opened about his past with him Mike said in an interview that he was so shocked by the experiences Chester went through that it gave him a ew perspective. So Mike here talks about how he thought he was talking about himself in his lyrics and songs trying to relate it but he finally understands now how much these songs meant to Chester and so many countless other people who went though pain and trauma so deep that this was their only way out. Seeing this song from that perspective gives it a totally new meaning.
"Even when it's not about you..."
I had to deal with a lot of loss last year and I feel into a bad circulation of negative energy and actions. It took me a while to get out of it. Mike's music was what helped me get through the bas times and find myself. I thank him for his heart-spoken words...
And there is no way to describe his music other than raw emotion.
I'm sorry to hear that. Hope things are looking up 🙂
I know how that felt. Post Traumatic dropped as a very long term relationship crumbled to nothing around me. Mike really helped me make it through some dark times, same as Linkin Park always had before. These new songs are incredible too.
i feel you
@@wthpatadise thanks for the support! as well as every one else. It means a lot (^-^;)
Dude honestly his music has been a huge reason why I'm still around.
the lyrics change from "wondered about the stories inside" to "now i know the stories inside" and we can understand how difficult that journey is.
Hearing more new music from you makes me sooo happy !!
Few months old if you found the leaks around RUclips. I thought it was hinted at an extended release but I guess these two tracks are it.
Listen to Foreword
Agreed! :D
I really have to say, even though I know it won't be seen.
I lost my Dad in November of 2017, and it was sudden. I was home, and I witnessed the whole thing through my own eyes. I was lost for a long time, and didn't know how to cope. At all.
But as I listened to Post Traumatic, I felt every word of every song. From songs like Nothing Makes Sense Anymore to this song... and to this day they still manage to make me feel so much. With my mental health on the constant fence, I really wish I didn't know what the words meant, but I always will now.
Please, keep up the great music. You've helped me, and so many others so much through difficult times, and we'll be here for you through yours.
Much love to you, Mike.
Stay strong and much love from Swiss.
Stay strong and love to you
2018-2020 for me was a S#@t storm. I lost 5 loved ones, two friends, 3 family members and two of those deaths where suicide. I've been broken for so long, i kind of lost myself but I hear you, discovery of this album saved me.
Something awoke in me, i just keep on going, I'm still tackled by grief sometimes but i remember i can play Mike's music sing/cry along sometimes very badly singing [slight chuckle]. I'm so sorry for your loss and i hope you're doing better now.
"Who cares if one more light goes out? Who cares if someone's time runs out?"
I wish we could have been there for Chester. #RestinPeaceChester
We were, but he couldn't see it anymore. 😢
Mike Is ALIVE FOR A PURPOSE.
2nd verse is exactly how I felt about linkin park songs when I first started to listen to them and after read about the band and stories of how they became LP, It's awesome and something special that I'll never be. Love this song👍
How can someone be so original and have his own thing?????? Real talent; no copying and not sounding like any other musician ✊🏻 🙌🏻👊🏻👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻
The track describes my 10year journey with LP's music.. where I eventually got to know the real pain and darkness behind every LP lyrics and tune. Chaz was there.. in the darkness slurring out messages for us soldiers to keep going.
This was the light I was waiting for..Incredible work..I wish I could buy the album..Explains all of the "Post Traumatic" lyrics..Hitting hard..😢 #makechesterproud
I feel like it explains LP lyrics, the ones chester helped out with. Those weren't written for mike
@@envyLP333 That too I guess.. Especially Numb and Crawling..
@@rudranshtripathi8647 this song is NOT about chester tho.
I think about the meteora and HT. When someone want change the lyrics, the essence of the music.
Me too from India. And love LP !
That last part is so incredible deep
"I wish i didn't know what the words meant"
But man, so happy that LP is back
Even darkness must pass
'' A message spelled out in a language, that only those who've been there, been there can read. ''
This means the Linkin Park song lyrics could be relatable only to those who were depressed. Mike was not depressed so he couldn't understand Chester that's what the legend Mike is saying here.
Mike wrote the lyrics to the linkin park songs though
I think he means that he understands what he was writing now that he sees how chester went through it all. "I thought that they were written for me" suggests he wrote them for himself and realized chester related more than anyone just my theory though
Mike is talking about an album called "Three" by a group called Phantogram. Mike said he loved that album and felt like he understood it, until he had a conversation with the songwriter and learned it was about the death of her sister, and he listened to it again with new ears after that and understood it completely differently.
"Even when it's not about you..."
@@Chaotic_evil_duck nah. Mike wasn't the only one writing the lyrics for their songs.
@@nikitosha1000 he wasn't the only one but he was the primary songwriter
Mike Shinoda a talent amongst many. I love linken park, but your talent has always been apparent.
This is how I feel about Post Traumatic. It is Brilliant and raw, but I do wish I couldn't relate to it.
But with my father passing away recently to cancer, some of the songs and verses, are like a mirror to my own feelings.
However, I do thank you for creating this wonder of sound. It helped me cope with it, to give it a place.
With my personal feelings that go with the album, I don't know if I'll love an album more than this.
I hope it helped you give a place to your feelings as well.
Chester & Maarten, rest in piece.
This explains my relationship with Linkin park perfectly.
I'm sorry it took me 20 years to understand, but you guys saved my life.
I backed off because the sound changed after Meteora (I was 17 and the first in my small rural home town to obtain it).
I think even I kept following I still would not have heard Chester or yourself.
Just as your song emphasises on.
When you know, you know.
You don't get enough credit Mike. Chester took the spotlight and that because he was meant too. You were there to keep him here the best you could and you were the only person that could do that.
Thankyou for everything.
No band will ever mean more to me than LP.
Yous are true pioneers of real life music. And you sound disguised the lyrics because that's how good it sounded.
"The words were never written for me"
🔥🔥
After watching Mike’s latest interview with Howard Stern, this song hits me in the gut each time, after hearing what Mike told about Chester. The song is absolutely brilliant. Mike is so talented!!!
Mike Shinoda is awesome - he should definitely be in the top music charts
He wrote a message in a language that only who's been there can read
YOU ARE A GENIUS
This song is the story of how I fell in love with Linkin Park. It grew from "I fucking love Numb, best song on the planet" to a full-blown love for the group and a deep appreciation for their style and message. Inevitably I learned about Chester, and it became so much more. #LinkinPark4Life #PostTraumatic
this song takes my breath away
Oh Mike... this album is such a masterpiece!! I'm so proud of the artist you've become.
Amazing talent!! At first it’s difficult to not expect Chester. But then I realized this is about Mike and Chester and it’s its own thing and so heartbreaking and beautiful!’ Thank so much for singing for us Mike!!
His talent and emotion bleeds through to the core, also how Mike Shinoda has used this album as an outlet speaks volumes of his enlightenment. I am a huge fan, going through depression and listening to music like this I know that I’m not alone.
If legend = 100 level
Mike = Boss of the game.
You are the only boss who requires Wisdom, Justice and love in order for us to win. And the outcome ?is spreading love after all.
Love listening to mike's diary
Mike, your performance is beyond praise. I like a lot of your songs simply because you perform them. This rarely happens to me. With all my heart I wish you success and happiness.
Mike, thank you for this new masterpiece! We love you! You are a true genius and legend! Thank you for everything!
*Mike, Plz have a tour in INDIA* ...

CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳😍
Damn I never been this early to anything
You are not alone today
Right?
Too
@@tanderose you forget to put "me"...? 👀
I'm JUST 6 days later :')
This is such a painful experience for Mike Shinoda, and he bared it for the whole world to see. I cannot stop crying for him because I know he is still carrying that pain inside and I know it is inconsolable. I have lost a best friend recently and all this hits me very deeply. I wish a hug could fix all that's wrong in the world.
I did not see this one comming, best surprise ever ❤
Amazing song!!! Mike Shinoda for President!
No!!! He's too intelligent. Bless!
Amazing! Everything you do is AMAZING. Mike you're an absolute GENIUS. Cheers for give us the most beautiful gift, your talent, voice and music. Love u, Mike🔥👏👏👏🎵👍.
So totally awesome. Mike is Mike and not Chester. We can still love Chester but Mike is Mike and he is loved too. Great music Mike. Rock on forever.
Bonnie H..Battle Creek, Michigan. ✌🎶🎤❤❤❤✌🎶🎸🎶
*LOVE FROM BRAZIL, MIKE!* ❤🇧🇷❤
YES!!! I bought the Deluxe Vinyl but never had a way to get the songs on my computer / devices. Just bought them on iTunes. Thank you, Mike!!!
The lyrics hit hard. Linkin Park has been my favourite band for as far as I can remember (where'd you go and in the end are literally the earliest memories I have and I'm 15 BTW). Having said that, fortunately I haven't had too much sadness in my life and so I may not relate to LP's lyrics as much as someone who has. But looking back on the songs after the loss, my thoughts and feelings are exactly what's written in this song in the sense that I see LP's lyrics in a new light with new meaning. It's like I'm able to understand Chester better. I feel this song and you Mike.
We have a similar style. I like that.
At work I'm always singing and rapping. 😂
At home, nothing. I just lie down in silence and go to sleep. Wake up and watch RUclips videos.
Keep up it up, Mike. You're doing good, brethren.
We really need a new album Mike.
Please!! 🙏🙏❤️
Mike will always be an inspiration to me. The heart and soul just fucking gets me. I sing along and it feels like a huge weight is lifted.. but i sometimes wonder where exactly is his soul in this... he makes me feel so much.
This is just so beautiful💙
*Destroys replay button for day after day*
STAY STRONG MIKE! WE LOVE YOU!
This one is great. But my favourite is either Promises I can’t keep or Nothing makes sense anymore.
This album is getting better and better. Thank you, Mike. You are just the best singer I know. Which path you may choose I will help you as a part of your community.
🇬🇪
How have i only just discovered you have been droping songs! So so glad to see you making more music.
This is probably more emotion in it then Over Again and Prove you wrong. There something about this song just shows complete destruction for not seeing through the lyrics. Stay strong Mike!!
Thank you for your music and sharing your talent with the world. Your music touches my soul and I feel like it speaks to the darker parts and the lighter parts of me.
These 110 folks which disliked this perfection don't know what does real music mean...
This song is about sarah barthles aka 1/2 of phantogram. So when I read the background story of this song she immediatley popped into my mind. Her sister commited suicide I think in 2015 and phantogram released their album three a year later (one of my favourites of 2016) which has quite the same theme as post traumatic.
I have the limited edition vinyl with these two bonus songs. I’m glad that they’re up online. Thank you, Mike. I am proud of you. 🙂
It's a totally strange feeling listening to this, because I relate to it sooooo hard. I'm relating to a song about relating to songs!
Because so many Linkin Park songs have inspired the same feeling for me. One more light, easier to run, breaking the habit, given up, numb, castle of glass, one step closer, somewhere I belong... the list could go on. They're songs that saved me from suicide so many times, helped me claw myself out of that dark place. Heck, Leave out all the rest was the song I requested to be played at my funeral when I wrote my suicide note.
I've been in my darkest place yet, these last couple weeks. To the point that I lost all sense of direction, watched my hopes and dreams crushed in front of me. I thought that was it, I thought I couldn't take the hell I'm living any more. But you're saving my life every day because of these beautiful songs I can relate to.
I'm so happy you're here, Mike. And I'm so happy that I can be here to listen to every new song you release. You've inspired me to keep living my life, and dedicate it to writing my own poems about the mental health issues I myself am facing, in the hopes that I can inspire people like my two heroes.
And while I'm writing my own stuff, I've come to realise just how hard it is to get those emotions out, and yet how rewarding it is to have them on 'paper.' I can't even begin to consider the amount of heartache that you're going through.
I hope to one day be able to buy a ticket to see you live. It's one of the only life ambitions I have left now. You're amazing, and I'm blessed to have known yours and Chester's voices when I have been so low. Thank you for that
Thank you for your post. Exactly how I too feel. Hugs
hope you're still here, there's a lot wrong in the world, but that can't stop us from making some rights along the way. keep living your best life
Love you Mike, we will never forget Chester.... RIP you beautiful soul ❤️❤️❤️
Mike, I love how you share your thoughts with us all. Thank you.
Myself and my family lost 15 close family and extended loved the ones within 2yr period.
It takes time. ❤️
Will always have love for you. Your talent and your friendliness to others:
Be kind to yourself, spend time with your loved ones xx
Love this record. I know the real ending of the album is "Can't Hear You Now", but I like to think this is the secret hidden track beyond it.
The best! Mike You're LEGEND! We gonna be always there for you!
I never thought they were written for me. I see writing on the walls written by others, and it speaks through all of us due to transmitters and receivers.
Why tf would y'all dislike it!?!? ;______;
And of course.. MIKEY YOU'RE A LEGEND!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
Kinda get the feeling of Nothing makes sense Anymore with this one and is definitely not complaining about that🙌🏼
Voz muito boa, já dá pra reassumir o LP!
I don’t think this guy realises his impact. He is a legend still so fucking humble.
Dear Mike,
I am so glad that you have found a way to put your inner most feelings and all that you need to get out into your music & Share it with all of us!
I personally want you to know that I until listening to the whole 18 tracks, didn't have a very good coping mechanism for the pain and suffering either.
But, Mike it's like your music, ryms,voice are really helpful to me.
You are very appreciated.
I hope that you and the rest of LP can continue to do the healing process and find some happiness.
Thank you, much love brother man ☆~{~~ Lulu
Wow it took me about half way through the song to realize what this was actually saying and understanding what mike is saying is actually really deep and eye opening. So powerful
We love u men s2
Mike: #1 legend rapper hands down! No one can ever beat Mike to the top.
Your music is very deep and I enjoy that
I believe that he wrote about lp songs that they were so sad and Mike would never expect that Chester would do it. Don't say I'm wrong it is just an opinion. Thank you mr. Shinoda for your strength and beautiful music we love you🙏🙏🙏🙏
You're amazing Mike. Keep doing what you're doing. :)
As usual, I have lost count how many times I have fallen in love with Michael's voice again. Legend! 😍💯
Wonderful music. Keep up the amazing work Mike! Stay strong xoxo
Yes, PLEASE! Stay strong, and keep up the good work Mike! 😃 ❤️
This is excellent it is nostalgic and makes you dwell into space with the electronics at the end. Im not really sure the meaning but it sounds like others suffer similar fates and if you don't know better you'll end up like them too.
Amazing work! Keep it up Mike!👌
This is what I thought and felt when Chester passed away ....I suddenly realized what all of his song were about.
Probably I should cover it!
Fascinating as always
Ants In My Head yeah man! Do what makes you happy :)
Grate idea, love your covers so much:)
you are a genius!
@@SirBrocahontas That's for sure the part of my motto! Thanks bro! :)
@@ТопМомент-х6т Thanks a million for support! :)
Holy Sh!t Mr. Shinoda, I'm not even finished listening to this for the first time, it's playing as I write. You're cutting deep. *hug*
Is this him writing about chesters lyrics ?...
I think so too
I think the real story behind it makes it a whole lot sadder when you think of it.
OMG this is so relatable to me as someone with dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder). I wish i didn't know what the words meant when the others said them or understand the meaning behind the stories/images/screams they show me. Its like another language and i see the entire process of this education on my husbands face when he hears and see's what they've survived. Its devastating. Thank you for yet another masterpiece Mike. I know your meaning is probably so very different than what i take from this song, but like everything on your last EP, its relatable. Its grief, its anger, its soul breaking shock and despair to know what others have lived. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Isso ai Mike a voz dele está ficando boa até
That's How An Emotion Bleeds ❤️
nice mike good legend music
This is such a deep song 😭❤️
