"Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there " This line get's me every damn time. It is a sentence to live by. He's not dead. He's in our hearts where he'll live on for eternity 💝
The battle with mental illnesses also resonates with this one. Just because other people can't see the dark holes in our souls when they look at the happy/normal mask we provide to the world doesn't mean the hurt and struggles aren't inside those who suffer. It has a deeper meaning, just like "Heavy".
You and I both, brother. From when they were still HYBRID THEORY all the way up until we lost him. It will always destroy me that he didnt see any other way.
depression and all alike are worse then any nightmare i ever had. sometimes you think you got it under control just to get a punch out of nowhere and i agree this song gets me every time but it also gives me the power to move on and fight again
The irony of him helping so many people through their darkest moments, caring so much about others, and then,.. It's just painful, but also so wonderful. And it reminds me to those other words of his: "When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed And don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest" Well, there are so many reasons for him to be missed.
All of that emotion is such an honest response. The sadness I think, comes from the message in the chorus, that he cares for the lives of others but was unable to afford himself that love. I've lost far too many people in this manner, have survived it myself and this hits so close to home. Glad you took the time to react to this one. Sorry for the ramble.
I just want to say that,while I don't know what Chester was going through, people with severe depression dont necessarily hate themselves (though it is often the case), sometimes its simply a matter of pain and mental anguish, or loss of meaning and enjoyment. RIP Chester, I cried again watching this. He was a truly special person as well as a once-in-a-lifetime musician.
Couple of things I take issue with in your comment: 1) you have ZERO reason to apologise for ANYTHING beyond your control, so never beat yourself up over losing someone in such a manner. I'm sure you did all you could to talk them down. 2) You apologised for rambling when you didn't ramble. You were concise, succint, and got the message you wanted to get out there, out there. It's an authentic heartfelt message, and no matter how many inner demons you fought before typing it into words, you're a stronger, better person for overcoming them.
It's because Chest wasn't able to manage his own decision making process. Depression is our avatar telling us that it's hard being the character we want to play.
It's such a bizarre, modern human experience missing someone you've never met. He ended his life on my 30th birthday and it will forever be the most impactful celebrity death on me. Like many others here, Linkin Park help me through some hard times growing up. They also helped highlight some good times... Thanks for this heartfelt reaction.
Just Like with His Lyrics He so often Hit what one was Feeling so precisly . . . I felt Seen by someone I never Met and WHO Had No Idea I even exist, when many I Talk too do Not seam to hear a Word I say
This was a one two punch for me, because immediately before this we lost Chris Cornell. When I found out it sat me down like Id had a brick dropped on me and I cried hard.
I wish it does cause I ask that same question especially when you can connect it to your own personal story. I lost my wife so for me I can never hear this song and not get something in my eye
Gets me every time 😢. I miss him so terribly much. It really hits home. I sometimes sob still over the loss. Just so heart-wrenching 💔. I lost my Dad in the same year that he passed and my fiancé passed away only 2 years ago. It's been a hard and sad journey, but this song helps as much as it hurts.
Chester said "the worst person for him to be left alone with, was himself." Him losing his battle to the "demons" that haunted him throughout his life is still hard.
I agree and unfortunately many people deal with this issue and the devil takes advantage of our weaknesses, with the ultimate goal of destroying our soul.
I don't know how many people know this, but the Linkin Park logo at 9:17 used to be a full hexagon when Chester was still alive, now that he is dead one of the 6 lines has fallen, that just makes me cry and sends shivers down my spine, RIP Chester
Bit of random trivia but in the game Runescape 3 there's a Wisp called Chester, and when you examine it it says "It flickers, flickers..." which I thought was really lovely
To my dad in heaven: Hey dad, I miss you more then ever. You left us in August of 2019 and four years later I miss you more then ever. You were not the ideal father figure yet you knew it and still acknowledged the mistakes of not being there and to this day I respect that. I never held any remorse against you because you were still my dad and it shook me to my core when you left us. You were so much more important to us kids than you could imagine. I will never judge your decisions in the life you lived and choices you made because nobody is perfect. I will never forget you Dad and just know I love you beyond what any words can describe 🖤🙏🏼
I’m pretty sure every linkin park fan cries when listening this song for the first time, that’s why when Lost came out and listen to Chester voice once again was such a beautiful experience
I cry whenever I hear the song. Sometimes it varies on how quickly it fucks me up but every time I hear this song it fucks me up regardless... It never fails
As i heared the news... i cried. Chester was the Leadsinger of the most loved band of my youth and it broke me ... i always wanted to see Linkin Park live ... Now im 28 years and i still cry over the loss ... R.I.P. Chester always missing you
Linkin Park connected with me and my daughter. She had bought us tickets to see them in Charlotte NC. This CD came with the tickets. We were 3 weeks away from seeing them live when we lost him. Still gets me today.
The raw emotion in your reaction mirrors the raw emotion that Chester sang with in so many songs that we all treasure. He was truly 1 of 1, irreplaceable.
Yeah I've seen that video twice and can't do it again. Seeing how much pain he's in and knowing it was only 2 months before he died is just... pfff... It sucks. Incredible performance but it's brutal to experience knowing what we know now.
At 4:49, the video shows Chester cuddling with the children. That's my country, Thailand. At that time the southern part of Thailand was destroyed by the tsunami in 2004. People's homes were destroyed along with the tsunami and many people died a lot When Chester found out about this Chester and his friends immediately rushed to help. Chester and his friends helped donate and also opened for donations to collect money to build a new house and place for the children and many other victims Chester also used his own money to buy new books for the children because of the books the children had. All that were kept in the school were destroyed. In this disaster, some children not only lost their homes, but the poor children also lost all of their parents, which made those children orphans. But since then, this problem has been resolved. The children and People are healed. This is why I love Chester and Linkin Park so much and I will never forget it.❤
The part that always cracks me is that fading "I do" during the guitar melody after the second chorus and at the same time the short clips that rush through at a very hugh speed. It seems like Chester sees his life and fovorite moments flashing before his eyes in his last moments while he is slowly fading away like the "I do".
The live version of that part will mess you up even more. Not sure if you've seen it or not, but live on jimmy Kemmel.. He practically breaks down after that part.
during the live concert in UK, I think around June 2017, he screams that part super loud, while standing in the crowd. It's skin-tingling chilling but also heart-racingly awesome!
I don't think I'll ever get over losing Chester. The dude screamed his soul out for all of us who couldn’t, but no one really listened. I’m one of the ones still shining because of people like him. I miss him so damn much 😔🥺
Chester was very open about his struggles with Depression and he wrote so many songs about it. He connected with people on a very personal level and he loved doing that, you can see it in all of his fan contact videos. But he's also the perfect example of how being larger than life and such a cool dude wasn't enough. How being so loved by everyone didn't even matter...because in his own mind, he never deserved any of it. What a crazy thing depression is...get help if you feel like that. "She thinks, I'm iron man that I don't feel pain WelI, I don't understand why joy must be feigned I'm so fortunate yet filled with self hate But the mirror shows me an ingrate" Peter Steele
Chester is an example that no how famous and rich you are, suicidal thoughts can effect anyone. Please know that you are never alone in anything. There are people that know what you are dealing with and can help you heal. The most difficult thing is to ask for it. Rest in Peace Chester. Gone, but never forgotten.
@@xix9182what he’s saying is that if someone dies who you lived with you will have one more chair than you need because that’s probably the chair that that person was sitting on every time
it can also signify that we can have "one more chair" for a person to sit beside us and talk. U can say its a theme of a home where u can have one more chair for ur son or ur loved one to sit and speak his/her heart out
When this song came out, I had the exact same reaction. A grown-ass middle-aged man listening to a Linkin Park song with tears rolling down his face. RIP Chester.
You aren't alone. You aren't the only one crying right now. It's an amazing video, and I commend you for doing your reaction live. It's a really tough song to listen too, especially knowing what he went through. Much admiration for you, and RIP Chester and Chris...
I was at the last live show he performed with Linkin Park. Which was exactly two weeks before he passed away. I have had his portrait tattooed on me as tribute and in memory to him. I've been shocked by celebrity/musician/actor deaths before and since. But I've always been able to carry on my day. Except with Chester. It left me lost for words and I couldn't stop thinking about it and him.
I feel the same way about his death and i cannot find an explanation for it.... their songs have a second meaning to me since his death..... they once helped me through my tough days but now they remind me of his scarred soul every time i hear them. I never knew this song...... but it hit very hard....
I cried when i heard on the media that he passed. I connect so much with Linkin Park when i was still in high school, listening to them on the radio while screaming along when my parents aren't home. RIP Chester 🥹
Love the reaction ! It's so pure, honest and powerful.. This song hits harder than ever .. it was already a beautiful/sad/hard song when the album came... and after 20th of July it was waaay harder. The video is a LOVE letter to the band, to Chester and to us, the fans to pay tribute
Hearing the news of Chester passing was truly heartbreaking 😪 I've listened to them since HT back in 2000 and it genuinely broke me knowing he died... This song sums up his struggles and the video of him amongst the fans, gets me everytime. As a vocalist, he's untouchable and he'll always live on with all us LP fans and his family/friends... 🙏🙏🙏
It breaks me when Chester comes out of the locker, jumping with a crazy face. He was so happy and making others feel the same. LP forever in my heart. Thanks for the video! (Saludos desde Argentina!).
I don’t know why, but whenever I feel the need to reconnect with myself, I listen to this song. When I need compassion, it’s the one I turn to-and I cry every time. Chester was more than just the singer of a band. I wish we could have saved him, but no one can save someone who doesn’t want to be saved. I hope he has found peace now. LOVE YOU, CHESTER - 2024!
Such a sweet and innocent beautiful reaction. I am 55 and I have shed tears over this song numerous times. It hits hard and deep. Well done for getting through this. And never be ashamed of crying......💔💔💔
Never a moment this video doesn't get me in tears. I am 37 and Linkin Park was such a huge part of my upbringing. Coming home from school listening to their albums every day. We lost a true light in this world. He lives on through his music and we miss him everyday. Thanks for sharing this honest reaction.
When Chester hugs that fan at 4:58, it gets me to tear up every single time. What an incredible moment, just the emotion. It really shows how much he meant to people and how much he still means to people. Chester was truly an amazing person
I watched with you, and damn it, I cried too. I don't care how many times I've heard it before, it still gets to me. I'm battling depression and anxiety as well. It's like I'm stuck in this relentless cycle of negativity. I'm broke, life's a mess, family issues, money problems, it's all pilling up.
Thank for uploading such a vulnerable reaction. This is a beautiful song, he was a beautiful man and his loss is still felt heavily by us all to this day and your reaction encapsulates this perfectly. Sending you a big ol' hug!
I'm 16 almost 17 and i still listen to his music and everytime this song gets me to cry. I appreciate you for your reaction and that you get emotional. May you be blest.❤ Can we all remember Chester Bennington and say R.I.P. Pls
I commend you for getting thru such a really emotional song. All fans of Linkin Park cried watching and listening to this. Chester had such an impact on my mental health journey thru his lyrics and songwriting. RIP CHESTER!
Just now finding your channel through my recommendations, and so far I have been enjoying the videos! As an LP fan, this song hits way too hard every time I hear it, and I can't help but tear up. RIP Chester, forever a legend, and he will always be missed.
What I find hard is to see him with such a big smile on his face in the band footage. It almost hurts to see him seem so happy, knowing how he left this world. And I once tried to play this song for someone, because I knew how beautiful it was. But they couldn’t listen to it. They lost a sibling to cancer and it was too much.
I agree with you but that is all an act when it comes to Chester and others suffering through severe depression I do the same thing with my depression I hide it well because nobody gives a damn about me or anybody else in my situation
Yes, I agree, that’s why I used the word seem. He smiled and appeared to be happy, but deep down that clearly wasn’t the case. And I’m sorry you feel that way, and unfortunately I can relate. Sometimes it seems like nobody ultimately cares, not even people who are paid to help those in that situation. I’ve had the feeling that most people out there only care so much, and in the end it’s not enough.
We were teenagers when they put out a Hybrid Theory… On a second album…One of my friends their biggest fan… Called Gun, loved to share phones so we can listen together all the way through the day. And those were sad years here after bombarding… No money, for albums, no money for going out… But we bought that album hey… Then that Gun died in traffic accident… he was 17And he was really in love with them… They just given us more to remember, album by album next… I wish he could hear them…They brought us up, they make our life beautiful, parties, hanging around city… Bus rides… And we always had this LIFE SOUNDTRACK ON. RIP GUN RIP CHESTER ❤
It always makes me mad when people say that committing sv!cide is selfish. It completely diminishes what person was going thru and those of us who struggle with it every single day. I'm glad they've been releasing previously unheard Linkin Park songs like "Lost". It keeps his memory and legacy alive while still doing what Chester always advocated for: good mental health and loving yourself for who you are. On another note, Mike Shinoda just released a track that I think you'll really like. RIP Chester, we miss you.❤❤
I agree. My boss committed suicide and a super religious coworker said how coward he was and he's in hell. I can't pretend to know the pain these people are in and I don't see it as being selfish or a coward at all
@ASLLover666 unfortunately anxiety and depression is hard to explain unless the person is going thru it themselves. Everyone deals with it differently as well so it's not some same blanket of symptoms that we all have.
My dad bought me Hybrid Theory the day it came out in 2000. I bought every Linkin Park album on release thereafter. They were my favorite band along with Blink182. Their music really helped me with depression, and when Chester died it really hit hard. Watching the video to One More Light for the first time just crushed me. All the memories of the past 17 years coming flooding back all at once. I'm glad you enjoyed it and felt moved by it.
For us long time lp fans, this song and the mv particularly hits really hard. We've been fans for so long we've developed a personal connection with Chester even though we've never met him in person ever. So when he died it felt like a piece of me died.
One of my absolute favorites. This sits among the very few that I call my anchor songs, a list of go-tos that help keep me alive. It reminds me that if I'm going to hold life as something precious, then that must also include my own. RIP Chester. I do.
Chester and LP were perfectly able to articulate how it feels to be the person who has been through some terrible things in life but tries to spend all their time supporting everyone they love. It's hard for people to see through that positive exterior to the torment inside and the fact that for many people, not hurting and disappointing those people that they love is the only thing keeping them around. Sometimes it's important for people to hear that their life has meaning beyond just that.
My read of Chester from the lyrics, to the way he performed them, the way he interacted with the crowds, and the path of his life... It seems to me that he truly cared. Cared so much that it was constantly tearing him up inside. That's something that a lot of us can increasingly identify with, given what we see around us. But I'm going to do my best to keep One More Light lit up for Chester.
I grew up with this band. They got me through so much with their talent, love for music, and true connection to their fans. This man is still greatly missed every day. You truely don't know what someone is going through.....be the best you can be before they are no longer there.
Everytime I see him hugging the girl I burst out in tears. I've never been to a Linkin Park concert it is probably one of my biggest regrets in my whole life. I just know Chester rests in piece now and I only wish to see him when I am gone, too. Beautiful reaction.
I came across this song, and just reflecting back on that moment, when I had tickets to their show in Tampa, Fl and all ready to go when the news broke. Reflection to all those muscians' actors, who passed away. music will live on but the notion of those who passed away will always be in the minds of many who reflect on certain moments in their life.
You can tell he was a light to millions of people covered in darkness. Rip, I hope you know how much you and your music have impacted people for the better!
Powerful reaction. This is one of the most heartwarming songs in their catalog. It hits so much harder nowadays. We lost a great one in Chester. Wishing your channel continued success.
You should react to the live version of this song which was tribute to Chester’s friend Chris Cornell after his passing. There’s one “I do” towards the end of that song which is greater than a lot of today’s singer’s whole career ! ❤
This song is like he knew and just crushes me. Mental issues are fogged because the people behind them are usually really incredibly people and keep it to themselves. 😢
The first time I've heard the Song back then in May'17 it was one of the best ballades I've heard so far. It was so touching my soul and it still does and every time when it comes to the line "in the kitchen, one more chair, than you need..." 😔it still hurts inside of me, especially when you've lost someone....no matter how long it's been. Those Persons you won't forget... Long story short, it's still my fav "quiet" Linkin Park Song after "My December". Thanks for you reaction!
Not just a beautiful song and video but a beautiful and powerful reaction too, which powerfully illustrates that you, unlike so many others who make these videos, react genuinely from the heart. Take good care of yourself.
Brings me to tear's whenever I listen to it. We will always miss you Chester. We all have our Demons and I hope everyone finds their help and peace, myself included. Really happy for Mike and them now that it looks like they are having fun again and not in a "Dark Place" themselves. I am sure Chester is looking down and smiling and wanting us to love everyone like he asked us to do.
It's 16th day of March 2024 but still Listening to Linkin Park songs will always be a mood too many lives has been motivated by their songs, thank you Chester. We love you and always be missing you.
I fight with depression every day. I feel like giving up. I have autism. I never fit with my family believe don't fit in with them . Try stay strong working and make living working and pay bill. I feel like give up been fight depression my whole life. Went i was kids i was abuse and raped and feel like nobody like me at all. I feel like every day and people my job don't understand how i feel. I am always keeping it in. Always listen Chester and mike music. Pray for god help me with my depression. I have lost 4 my friend from cancer and my other friends numbers 5 that commit suicide. Cry and want to see videos talk above Chester. Try be strong it sad Went peoples pass away. Please pray for me depression getting to much for me. 😢❤
We're one in a million. But that's what makes us special. We're the only one out of a million. And so was Chester. I hope I get to see him on the other side some day. If you want another underrated Linkin Park song, that pairs nicely with this one, try "roads untravelled".
Linkin Park were so important to me growing up. They came out when I was just a young teen. And they, along with another band, probably saved my life back then. I only got to see them once live, but it was a special moment. It was Download Festival 2014 and they played ‘Hybrid Theory’ start to finish - I was there as a man in his late-20’s with one of my best friends who I went through those rough teenage years with. I’m glad I took that chance, because only a few years later Chester was gone 😢 That devastated me because I always found Chester, and his struggles, so relatable (just like thousands of others worldwide). He’s a huge miss.
I was 16 when Linkin Park first came onto the scene and public consciousness, and I remember where I was on my drive to work when I heard on the radio that he was gone.
Listened to this song over and over last year. I was in a really dark place then, and had all sorts of shit constantly running through my mind. Still have my dark days to this day, listening to this song really helped me back then, and still does. Its an absolutely stunning song from one of the greatest singers in rock ever.
I sang it word for word and this is just one of the bands I listen to Growing up and it reminds me of my childhood so much and it makes me cry because their music was amazing
Props to you for making this awesome video. Seeing you get upset in front of your 252 thousand subscribers takes a lot and shows your character. Thanks for sharing and hello from Toronto, Ontario
I first heard this song on the year anniversary of my gran's passing and it made me weep. The line "in the kitchen, one more chair than you need" just fucking broke me thinking of how I'd never see her at the table when she came for dinner on Sundays. It also makes me think of her because it his words sound like words that she'd have said. This and Nana by Mc Lars are two songs that will always make me think of her.
One of my favorite memories of Linkin Park was when I saw them in concert after dropping Meteora. He did a Parkour Backflip off of a speaker. He had so much energy. It was an amazing concert. He is so missed. Also, when I think of this song I think of the memorial concert and every fan singing the song without anyone on the stage.
I've watched your reaction to this numerous times, always ends in tears. I'm a 54 year old man and this song still hurts me. RIP Chester, we lost you way to soon.
The progression of Chester and the band was so amazing to watch, I really thought when they came out with this he was finally beginning to heal, and to lose this light was devastating. We have to remind people of the message... thanks for being real.
Such a raw reaction. I love how you feel Chester even in his passing the same as I do. He was speaking out when noone could hear him. We have to be better for all the people in out lives to be the light jn the darkness.
I lost my sister in 2024 to drug addiction and mental illness. This song really does put In to words how I felt about it!! Can I help you not to hurt anymore, just sums up so much!!! Tha k you Cheter for the great music and messages!!! We will carry you onward forever!!!!!! We all must love one another in the end we are all we have!!! Love you all!!!!
Chester is an absolute angel!! He is an absolute gift to humanity! He is the greatest musical artist in human history... Man i miss you brother... You saved my freggin' life 2-3X at least.. So many ppl love you... And we'll ALL be with you in the next life bc there is no such thing as hell...I love you Chester!! TY for sharing this video and your vulnerability...
Thank you so much for watching the video, much love to you all.
Depression is a disease , fuck depression , RIP Chester
Tus lagrimas son mis lagrimas
I don't watch this one much anymore, it hits too hard and hurts too much.
here is a verry verry good band cover HYBRID THEORY - ONE MORE LIGHT LIVE @ ALTICE ARENA 2023
the live version soon after chris cornell had died is even more heartbreaking. chester cracks emotionally at the end, like hes about to cry.
Hugs to every Linkin Park Fan. we still miss Chester to this day.
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you
Hug back from me bro frfr.
thank you bro
I'm still crying
I'm a 45 year old man and not ashamed to admit this song makes me cry like a baby every time. RIP Chester, you will be forever missed.
38 here balling like a baby. No shame bro
I'm 53 male and this makes me cry always
No shame in that. I am 59
I am 60 and yeah Chester was apart of the soul of millions
Just shows how much you care with words that mean something to you. Brings back memories that no one can understand. Head high mate.
One man can save millions, But millions cannot save one man. - Chester Bennington
It's quite nasty to be the prophet of your own demise :[
He didn't want to be saved.
unfortunately so it was for him...
@@-o-dq7nd yes he did
@@-o-dq7ndhe did
"Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there "
This line get's me every damn time. It is a sentence to live by.
He's not dead. He's in our hearts where he'll live on for eternity 💝
The battle with mental illnesses also resonates with this one.
Just because other people can't see the dark holes in our souls when they look at the happy/normal mask we provide to the world doesn't mean the hurt and struggles aren't inside those who suffer.
It has a deeper meaning, just like "Heavy".
Se la vie' that's how we roll...
It's the fact he looks directly in to the camera for that line. Like it's trying to tell you, "It's here, but you can't see it.". Damn.
I am a 46 year old man and this song gets me every time.
I grow up with Linkin park
We all loved Chester and it still wasn’t enough to save him.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
You and I both, brother. From when they were still HYBRID THEORY all the way up until we lost him. It will always destroy me that he didnt see any other way.
depression and all alike are worse then any nightmare i ever had. sometimes you think you got it under control just to get a punch out of nowhere and i agree this song gets me every time but it also gives me the power to move on and fight again
Every. Single. Time. 😥Their later catalog was such a cry for help and we all saw it and couldn't stop the demons from winning.
I am 17 and love lp forever
The irony of him helping so many people through their darkest moments, caring so much about others, and then,..
It's just painful, but also so wonderful. And it reminds me to those other words of his:
"When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest"
Well, there are so many reasons for him to be missed.
Leave Out All the Rest
-Minutes to Midnight
And so many reasons to keep him in our memory.
well said mate
All of that emotion is such an honest response. The sadness I think, comes from the message in the chorus, that he cares for the lives of others but was unable to afford himself that love. I've lost far too many people in this manner, have survived it myself and this hits so close to home. Glad you took the time to react to this one. Sorry for the ramble.
I just want to say that,while I don't know what Chester was going through, people with severe depression dont necessarily hate themselves (though it is often the case), sometimes its simply a matter of pain and mental anguish, or loss of meaning and enjoyment. RIP Chester, I cried again watching this. He was a truly special person as well as a once-in-a-lifetime musician.
We didn't deserve this beautiful Angel he was taken from us way to early 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yes I know, my point was simply that he didn't afford himself the same care that he freely gave to others.@@MaddSpazz2000
Couple of things I take issue with in your comment:
1) you have ZERO reason to apologise for ANYTHING beyond your control, so never beat yourself up over losing someone in such a manner. I'm sure you did all you could to talk them down.
2) You apologised for rambling when you didn't ramble. You were concise, succint, and got the message you wanted to get out there, out there. It's an authentic heartfelt message, and no matter how many inner demons you fought before typing it into words, you're a stronger, better person for overcoming them.
It's because Chest wasn't able to manage his own decision making process. Depression is our avatar telling us that it's hard being the character we want to play.
It's such a bizarre, modern human experience missing someone you've never met. He ended his life on my 30th birthday and it will forever be the most impactful celebrity death on me. Like many others here, Linkin Park help me through some hard times growing up. They also helped highlight some good times... Thanks for this heartfelt reaction.
Just Like with His Lyrics He so often Hit what one was Feeling so precisly . . . I felt Seen by someone I never Met and WHO Had No Idea I even exist, when many I Talk too do Not seam to hear a Word I say
I think those of us that connected with his music will miss him like a lost friend. RIP Chester
on the day right after my birthday. so i can relate!! he was like a brother, a soulmate to me...
This was a one two punch for me, because immediately before this we lost Chris Cornell. When I found out it sat me down like Id had a brick dropped on me and I cried hard.
It's almost 7 years since and I still can't listen to this song without crying. Will it ever get easier???
Same 😭🥺
It wont . But you will get stronger :)
It will not.
I wish it does cause I ask that same question especially when you can connect it to your own personal story. I lost my wife so for me I can never hear this song and not get something in my eye
I wish I could say it gets easier, but it doesn’t. But that’s ok, it’s good to let it all out to this song. It’s raw beautiful emotion.
thank you for not shying away because of some tears.
been 7 years, and i still can not lissten to this song without some tears.
anyone els in 2024 ?
Of course we are!
And still miss chester,too💔
Gets me every time 😢. I miss him so terribly much. It really hits home. I sometimes sob still over the loss. Just so heart-wrenching 💔. I lost my Dad in the same year that he passed and my fiancé passed away only 2 years ago. It's been a hard and sad journey, but this song helps as much as it hurts.
i just watched the video for one more light with her for the first time. i cound not bring myself to do it all those years. i'm a fucking mess rn.
@@ktinaval sad to hear...
This Song always hits deep to my heart. Always makes me cry, just how Chester delivered those lines in this song. ❤️
Chester said "the worst person for him to be left alone with, was himself." Him losing his battle to the "demons" that haunted him throughout his life is still hard.
Chris Cornell’s passing just made it worse for him rip Both Great Vocalists
I think that’s true for so many of us with depression. Like David Foster Wallace says, “The mind is a terrible master.”
Chris and Chester was working on a project just like avichi.... It's preety fucked up world we live in ..
I agree and unfortunately many people deal with this issue and the devil takes advantage of our weaknesses, with the ultimate goal of destroying our soul.
@stoneyp3748 sure thing detective.
I don't know how many people know this, but the Linkin Park logo at 9:17 used to be a full hexagon when Chester was still alive, now that he is dead one of the 6 lines has fallen, that just makes me cry and sends shivers down my spine, RIP Chester
I didn’t realize that ❤
Bit of random trivia but in the game Runescape 3 there's a Wisp called Chester, and when you examine it it says "It flickers, flickers..." which I thought was really lovely
Many Jagex devs grew up listening to Linkin park, so losing him hurt them like the rest of us. it is a small but wonderful memorial
There's a Runescape 3? Thought it was just Old school/Classic and Modern
@@RVFFICA modern runscape is called Runescape 3
this is so precious
@@RVFFICA classic of 2001 was rs 1, 07/oldschool was rs2, evolution of combat in 2013 was the start of what is considered rs3

To my dad in heaven: Hey dad, I miss you more then ever. You left us in August of 2019 and four years later I miss you more then ever. You were not the ideal father figure yet you knew it and still acknowledged the mistakes of not being there and to this day I respect that. I never held any remorse against you because you were still my dad and it shook me to my core when you left us. You were so much more important to us kids than you could imagine. I will never judge your decisions in the life you lived and choices you made because nobody is perfect. I will never forget you Dad and just know I love you beyond what any words can describe 🖤🙏🏼
I’m pretty sure every linkin park fan cries when listening this song for the first time, that’s why when Lost came out and listen to Chester voice once again was such a beautiful experience
I cry whenever I hear the song. Sometimes it varies on how quickly it fucks me up but every time I hear this song it fucks me up regardless... It never fails
The first time I heard Lost...and just for those brief moments...its like we had him back again...hell of a day that was.
I cry like little baby whenever I hear that song. I grew up with Linkin Park and death of Chester Bennington is something I will never deal with..
Just thinking about this song is making me tear up right now...not even hit play on this video yet!
The first time? Every time lol.
"One More Light" ALWAYS makes me cry. This song is timeless.
As i heared the news... i cried. Chester was the Leadsinger of the most loved band of my youth and it broke me ... i always wanted to see Linkin Park live ...
Now im 28 years and i still cry over the loss ... R.I.P. Chester always missing you
Same..
Same here. Was the first thing I heard when I woke up that day. Was in tears almost the whole day even at work.
Linkin Park connected with me and my daughter. She had bought us tickets to see them in Charlotte NC. This CD came with the tickets. We were 3 weeks away from seeing them live when we lost him. Still gets me today.
Yeah im right there with you i wish i could have seen them in concert
@@billy_the_kid But the beauty in all of this, despite the loss, is that you and your daughter are still connected :)
The raw emotion in your reaction mirrors the raw emotion that Chester sang with in so many songs that we all treasure. He was truly 1 of 1, irreplaceable.
The Jimmy Kimmel show they did, where they played this song, dedicated to Chris Cornell, was even more emotional than the official video.
Yeah I've seen that video twice and can't do it again. Seeing how much pain he's in and knowing it was only 2 months before he died is just... pfff... It sucks. Incredible performance but it's brutal to experience knowing what we know now.
When he belts out the scream and when he forgets the lines because he's breaking down is rough. Such a genuine moment.
Oh, I can’t even talk about Chris C.
The scream 😭
Yeh that show is so good but hard to watch
At 4:49, the video shows Chester cuddling with the children. That's my country, Thailand. At that time the southern part of Thailand was destroyed by the tsunami in 2004. People's homes were destroyed along with the tsunami and many people died a lot When Chester found out about this Chester and his friends immediately rushed to help. Chester and his friends helped donate and also opened for donations to collect money to build a new house and place for the children and many other victims
Chester also used his own money to buy new books for the children because of the books the children had. All that were kept in the school were destroyed.
In this disaster, some children not only lost their homes, but the poor children also lost all of their parents, which made those children orphans. But since then, this problem has been resolved. The children and People are healed.
This is why I love Chester and Linkin Park so much and I will never forget it.❤
:(
Oh wow 😢.
Such a beautiful soul 😔
The part that always cracks me is that fading "I do" during the guitar melody after the second chorus and at the same time the short clips that rush through at a very hugh speed. It seems like Chester sees his life and fovorite moments flashing before his eyes in his last moments while he is slowly fading away like the "I do".
The live version of that part will mess you up even more. Not sure if you've seen it or not, but live on jimmy Kemmel.. He practically breaks down after that part.
@@Ranganation the same scream is in the official song, just mixed very muffled so it seems to be an ambient synth rather than Chesters scream
during the live concert in UK, I think around June 2017, he screams that part super loud, while standing in the crowd. It's skin-tingling chilling but also heart-racingly awesome!
Same. The editing in the video is stunning. That scene is incredible.
I don't think I'll ever get over losing Chester. The dude screamed his soul out for all of us who couldn’t, but no one really listened. I’m one of the ones still shining because of people like him. I miss him so damn much 😔🥺
Chester was very open about his struggles with Depression and he wrote so many songs about it. He connected with people on a very personal level and he loved doing that, you can see it in all of his fan contact videos. But he's also the perfect example of how being larger than life and such a cool dude wasn't enough. How being so loved by everyone didn't even matter...because in his own mind, he never deserved any of it. What a crazy thing depression is...get help if you feel like that.
"She thinks, I'm iron man that I don't feel pain
WelI, I don't understand why joy must be feigned
I'm so fortunate yet filled with self hate
But the mirror shows me an ingrate"
Peter Steele
Chester is an example that no how famous and rich you are, suicidal thoughts can effect anyone. Please know that you are never alone in anything. There are people that know what you are dealing with and can help you heal. The most difficult thing is to ask for it. Rest in Peace Chester. Gone, but never forgotten.
The second verse with the „in the kitchen one more chair than you need“ gets me everytime…
Sory bro i dont really get what it meant because im not that good in english can u plz explain it to me plz
@@xix9182what he’s saying is that if someone dies who you lived with you will have one more chair than you need because that’s probably the chair that that person was sitting on every time
Excellent explanation. I feel like there's a lot of nuance too, but you did a great job.
it can also signify that we can have "one more chair" for a person to sit beside us and talk. U can say its a theme of a home where u can have one more chair for ur son or ur loved one to sit and speak his/her heart out
@@Drilon10 Thanks for the explanation bud. This verse will choke me more now. :') I hope you're doing well friend, LP forever. 🕊️
My son died two years ago tomorrow. Thank you for being here so I can watch this and cry with you today! RIP Chester!
It's ok to cry, we all are. This song hits so hard. He is missed 😢
When this song came out, I had the exact same reaction. A grown-ass middle-aged man listening to a Linkin Park song with tears rolling down his face. RIP Chester.
You aren't alone. You aren't the only one crying right now. It's an amazing video, and I commend you for doing your reaction live. It's a really tough song to listen too, especially knowing what he went through. Much admiration for you, and RIP Chester and Chris...
I did the same thing that Chester did I also hung myself for him he was successful for me I chickened out I still do it but I need someone to help me
Ray...you have to know that this was the most meaningful and beautiful reaction that you have ever done
Chester ✨
Sings like an angel
Screams like a demon
Rip king 🕊️
I was at the last live show he performed with Linkin Park. Which was exactly two weeks before he passed away.
I have had his portrait tattooed on me as tribute and in memory to him.
I've been shocked by celebrity/musician/actor deaths before and since. But I've always been able to carry on my day. Except with Chester. It left me lost for words and I couldn't stop thinking about it and him.
Never got to see them live :(
I feel the same way about his death and i cannot find an explanation for it.... their songs have a second meaning to me since his death..... they once helped me through my tough days but now they remind me of his scarred soul every time i hear them.
I never knew this song...... but it hit very hard....
I was there too. Birmingham. It was my dream to see Linkin Park
I cried when i heard on the media that he passed. I connect so much with Linkin Park when i was still in high school, listening to them on the radio while screaming along when my parents aren't home. RIP Chester 🥹
Love the reaction ! It's so pure, honest and powerful..
This song hits harder than ever .. it was already a beautiful/sad/hard song when the album came... and after 20th of July it was waaay harder. The video is a LOVE letter to the band, to Chester and to us, the fans to pay tribute
Hearing the news of Chester passing was truly heartbreaking 😪 I've listened to them since HT back in 2000 and it genuinely broke me knowing he died... This song sums up his struggles and the video of him amongst the fans, gets me everytime. As a vocalist, he's untouchable and he'll always live on with all us LP fans and his family/friends... 🙏🙏🙏
His nearly silent scream of I do just hits the deepest part of the soul. So absolutely gut wrenching
Yeah... This song, especially the video, hits us all about like that. Thank you for the reaction and your comments.
It breaks me when Chester comes out of the locker, jumping with a crazy face. He was so happy and making others feel the same. LP forever in my heart. Thanks for the video! (Saludos desde Argentina!).
I don’t know why, but whenever I feel the need to reconnect with myself, I listen to this song. When I need compassion, it’s the one I turn to-and I cry every time. Chester was more than just the singer of a band. I wish we could have saved him, but no one can save someone who doesn’t want to be saved. I hope he has found peace now.
LOVE YOU, CHESTER - 2024!
Such a sweet and innocent beautiful reaction. I am 55 and I have shed tears over this song numerous times.
It hits hard and deep. Well done for getting through this. And never be ashamed of crying......💔💔💔
I’m a LP fan to Infinity and Beyond. Who still here celebrating Chester’s life forever in 2024?
Never a moment this video doesn't get me in tears. I am 37 and Linkin Park was such a huge part of my upbringing. Coming home from school listening to their albums every day. We lost a true light in this world. He lives on through his music and we miss him everyday. Thanks for sharing this honest reaction.
Chris Cornel and him have a great history and a beautiful friendship. They perform together a few times too. Wonderful artists
When Chester hugs that fan at 4:58, it gets me to tear up every single time. What an incredible moment, just the emotion. It really shows how much he meant to people and how much he still means to people. Chester was truly an amazing person
I watched with you, and damn it, I cried too. I don't care how many times I've heard it before, it still gets to me. I'm battling depression and anxiety as well. It's like I'm stuck in this relentless cycle of negativity. I'm broke, life's a mess, family issues, money problems, it's all pilling up.
Thank for uploading such a vulnerable reaction. This is a beautiful song, he was a beautiful man and his loss is still felt heavily by us all to this day and your reaction encapsulates this perfectly. Sending you a big ol' hug!
I'm 16 almost 17 and i still listen to his music and everytime this song gets me to cry. I appreciate you for your reaction and that you get emotional. May you be blest.❤ Can we all remember Chester Bennington and say R.I.P. Pls
I commend you for getting thru such a really emotional song. All fans of Linkin Park cried watching and listening to this. Chester had such an impact on my mental health journey thru his lyrics and songwriting. RIP CHESTER!
Just now finding your channel through my recommendations, and so far I have been enjoying the videos! As an LP fan, this song hits way too hard every time I hear it, and I can't help but tear up. RIP Chester, forever a legend, and he will always be missed.
What I find hard is to see him with such a big smile on his face in the band footage. It almost hurts to see him seem so happy, knowing how he left this world. And I once tried to play this song for someone, because I knew how beautiful it was. But they couldn’t listen to it. They lost a sibling to cancer and it was too much.
I agree with you but that is all an act when it comes to Chester and others suffering through severe depression I do the same thing with my depression I hide it well because nobody gives a damn about me or anybody else in my situation
Yes, I agree, that’s why I used the word seem. He smiled and appeared to be happy, but deep down that clearly wasn’t the case. And I’m sorry you feel that way, and unfortunately I can relate. Sometimes it seems like nobody ultimately cares, not even people who are paid to help those in that situation. I’ve had the feeling that most people out there only care so much, and in the end it’s not enough.
We were teenagers when they put out a Hybrid Theory… On a second album…One of my friends their biggest fan… Called Gun, loved to share phones so we can listen together all the way through the day. And those were sad years here after bombarding… No money, for albums, no money for going out… But we bought that album hey… Then that Gun died in traffic accident… he was 17And he was really in love with them… They just given us more to remember, album by album next… I wish he could hear them…They brought us up, they make our life beautiful, parties, hanging around city… Bus rides… And we always had this LIFE SOUNDTRACK ON. RIP GUN RIP CHESTER ❤
It always makes me mad when people say that committing sv!cide is selfish. It completely diminishes what person was going thru and those of us who struggle with it every single day. I'm glad they've been releasing previously unheard Linkin Park songs like "Lost". It keeps his memory and legacy alive while still doing what Chester always advocated for: good mental health and loving yourself for who you are.
On another note, Mike Shinoda just released a track that I think you'll really like.
RIP Chester, we miss you.❤❤
I agree. My boss committed suicide and a super religious coworker said how coward he was and he's in hell. I can't pretend to know the pain these people are in and I don't see it as being selfish or a coward at all
@@jessmcafee2557 we all have our own demons we have to battle with on a daily basis. Unfortunately there are those of us who lose those battles.😔
agreed but i can never explain it to people in words that they'll understand
@ASLLover666 unfortunately anxiety and depression is hard to explain unless the person is going thru it themselves. Everyone deals with it differently as well so it's not some same blanket of symptoms that we all have.
@@briansgamesandanime very true. i just wish everyone understood
My dad bought me Hybrid Theory the day it came out in 2000. I bought every Linkin Park album on release thereafter. They were my favorite band along with Blink182. Their music really helped me with depression, and when Chester died it really hit hard. Watching the video to One More Light for the first time just crushed me. All the memories of the past 17 years coming flooding back all at once. I'm glad you enjoyed it and felt moved by it.
For us long time lp fans, this song and the mv particularly hits really hard. We've been fans for so long we've developed a personal connection with Chester even though we've never met him in person ever. So when he died it felt like a piece of me died.
A feeling of emptiness engulfs my soul every time I complete watching this music video...
One of my absolute favorites. This sits among the very few that I call my anchor songs, a list of go-tos that help keep me alive. It reminds me that if I'm going to hold life as something precious, then that must also include my own. RIP Chester. I do.
He saved millions of people but millions of people can't save him! RIP legend!
Chester and LP were perfectly able to articulate how it feels to be the person who has been through some terrible things in life but tries to spend all their time supporting everyone they love. It's hard for people to see through that positive exterior to the torment inside and the fact that for many people, not hurting and disappointing those people that they love is the only thing keeping them around. Sometimes it's important for people to hear that their life has meaning beyond just that.
My read of Chester from the lyrics, to the way he performed them, the way he interacted with the crowds, and the path of his life... It seems to me that he truly cared. Cared so much that it was constantly tearing him up inside. That's something that a lot of us can increasingly identify with, given what we see around us. But I'm going to do my best to keep One More Light lit up for Chester.
Thank you for this heartfelt, emotional reaction Rachael.
I grew up with this band. They got me through so much with their talent, love for music, and true connection to their fans. This man is still greatly missed every day. You truely don't know what someone is going through.....be the best you can be before they are no longer there.
“Um…..Dang……Um……..Uh [deep sigh]” Not only was that the most perfect way to respond, it was THE ONLY WAY. Love the channel!!!
Everytime I see him hugging the girl I burst out in tears. I've never been to a Linkin Park concert it is probably one of my biggest regrets in my whole life. I just know Chester rests in piece now and I only wish to see him when I am gone, too. Beautiful reaction.
Its a rough one for sure. But thank you for your reaction. It is always a light to our days. *hugs*
I came across this song, and just reflecting back on that moment, when I had tickets to their show in Tampa, Fl and all ready to go when the news broke. Reflection to all those muscians' actors, who passed away. music will live on but the notion of those who passed away will always be in the minds of many who reflect on certain moments in their life.
I was crying with you... thanks for sharing, for the heartfelt and just... true reaction video. Much love :)
You can tell he was a light to millions of people covered in darkness. Rip, I hope you know how much you and your music have impacted people for the better!
Powerful reaction. This is one of the most heartwarming songs in their catalog. It hits so much harder nowadays. We lost a great one in Chester. Wishing your channel continued success.
every single fan cried like babies the day this video came out.
the day it came out, I couldn't even open it, just couldn't
You should react to the live version of this song which was tribute to Chester’s friend Chris Cornell after his passing. There’s one “I do” towards the end of that song which is greater than a lot of today’s singer’s whole career ! ❤
also listen to Mike Shinoda performing it live
Linkin park supporting in my bad time ❤ i love Linkin park
Yes, I cry every time too. Yet another reason why I love you. Respect and love... 🫂
This song is like he knew and just crushes me. Mental issues are fogged because the people behind them are usually really incredibly people and keep it to themselves. 😢
The first time I've heard the Song back then in May'17 it was one of the best ballades I've heard so far. It was so touching my soul and it still does and every time when it comes to the line "in the kitchen, one more chair, than you need..." 😔it still hurts inside of me, especially when you've lost someone....no matter how long it's been. Those Persons you won't forget... Long story short, it's still my fav "quiet" Linkin Park Song after "My December".
Thanks for you reaction!
So many of us grew up with LP and we all cared when his light went out. We still do.
Not just a beautiful song and video but a beautiful and powerful reaction too, which powerfully illustrates that you, unlike so many others who make these videos, react genuinely from the heart. Take good care of yourself.
Brings me to tear's whenever I listen to it. We will always miss you Chester. We all have our Demons and I hope everyone finds their help and peace, myself included. Really happy for Mike and them now that it looks like they are having fun again and not in a "Dark Place" themselves. I am sure Chester is looking down and smiling and wanting us to love everyone like he asked us to do.
RIP Chester :( All LP song hit rly hard right now ....
It's 16th day of March 2024 but still Listening to Linkin Park songs will always be a mood too many lives has been motivated by their songs, thank you Chester. We love you and always be missing you.

Hi I have autism too and also fighting with depression. ❤
Please stay with us guys... The world needs you more than you think! Love yourself more than everything
We're one in a million. But that's what makes us special. We're the only one out of a million. And so was Chester. I hope I get to see him on the other side some day.
If you want another underrated Linkin Park song, that pairs nicely with this one, try "roads untravelled".
Linkin Park were so important to me growing up. They came out when I was just a young teen. And they, along with another band, probably saved my life back then. I only got to see them once live, but it was a special moment. It was Download Festival 2014 and they played ‘Hybrid Theory’ start to finish - I was there as a man in his late-20’s with one of my best friends who I went through those rough teenage years with. I’m glad I took that chance, because only a few years later Chester was gone 😢 That devastated me because I always found Chester, and his struggles, so relatable (just like thousands of others worldwide). He’s a huge miss.
I was 16 when Linkin Park first came onto the scene and public consciousness, and I remember where I was on my drive to work when I heard on the radio that he was gone.
Listened to this song over and over last year. I was in a really dark place then, and had all sorts of shit constantly running through my mind. Still have my dark days to this day, listening to this song really helped me back then, and still does. Its an absolutely stunning song from one of the greatest singers in rock ever.
I sang it word for word and this is just one of the bands I listen to Growing up and it reminds me of my childhood so much and it makes me cry because their music was amazing
Props to you for making this awesome video. Seeing you get upset in front of your 252 thousand subscribers takes a lot and shows your character.
Thanks for sharing and hello from Toronto, Ontario
Sad this think I'm now older than Chester will ever be. What a star. Brighter than most in the sky of a million stars.
It was so so genuine of you shedding tears for our beloved Chester ❤❤
You have a beautiful Heart dear ❤❤
iam 39 old men and for the last 7 years i heared this song always a tear drop down.
I first heard this song on the year anniversary of my gran's passing and it made me weep. The line "in the kitchen, one more chair than you need" just fucking broke me thinking of how I'd never see her at the table when she came for dinner on Sundays. It also makes me think of her because it his words sound like words that she'd have said.
This and Nana by Mc Lars are two songs that will always make me think of her.
One of my favorite memories of Linkin Park was when I saw them in concert after dropping Meteora. He did a Parkour Backflip off of a speaker. He had so much energy. It was an amazing concert. He is so missed. Also, when I think of this song I think of the memorial concert and every fan singing the song without anyone on the stage.
The actual physical pain this just made me feel was so overwhelming.. Such a massive part of my passion for music was Chester. I have no words.
I've watched your reaction to this numerous times, always ends in tears. I'm a 54 year old man and this song still hurts me.
RIP Chester, we lost you way to soon.
The progression of Chester and the band was so amazing to watch, I really thought when they came out with this he was finally beginning to heal, and to lose this light was devastating. We have to remind people of the message... thanks for being real.
Such a raw reaction. I love how you feel Chester even in his passing the same as I do. He was speaking out when noone could hear him. We have to be better for all the people in out lives to be the light jn the darkness.
He may not have been able to save his life, but he saved ours!!!!!!
I lost my sister in 2024 to drug addiction and mental illness. This song really does put In to words how I felt about it!! Can I help you not to hurt anymore, just sums up so much!!! Tha k you Cheter for the great music and messages!!! We will carry you onward forever!!!!!! We all must love one another in the end we are all we have!!! Love you all!!!!
Chester is an absolute angel!! He is an absolute gift to humanity! He is the greatest musical artist in human history... Man i miss you brother... You saved my freggin' life 2-3X at least.. So many ppl love you... And we'll ALL be with you in the next life bc there is no such thing as hell...I love you Chester!!
TY for sharing this video and your vulnerability...
You does have a pure heart my dear ❤ really appreciate the soft heart you have
God bless 🙏🏻❤❤❤
