It hit me the hardest out of all tributes an everything. jeez. He sounds eternal.. wow, will we never hear his voice again? I'm going through everything to hold on
I like Mike's material, but he is still known as a rock musician. Rock musicians don't like rap that much. And hip hop fans don't like rock music that much. Sad, but true.
I agree on this. This song is the truth some people don't wanna listen to. But, to be honest, this song reveals the true nature of what's going on in the real world.
The first interlude, with Chester, is the only time any song, any piece of music, has genuinely brought me to tears with beauty. From the first note, it is breathtaking. People always talk about him singing like an angel, and it is true. But this... is different.
first song that really made me think, made me find something to stand for. "with hands held high into the sky so blue, as the ocean opens up to swallow you" never been more moved by raw emotion in a lyric. rip chester, voice of a legend and that he is, and all i can hope is that he's somewhere better than this.
Turn my mic up louder I got to say something Lightweights stepping aside, When we come in Feel it in your chest The syllables get pumping People on the street They panic and start running Words on loose leaf Sheet complete coming I jump on my mind I summon the rhyme I'm dumping Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in Sick of the dark ways We march to the drumming Jump when they tell us They want to see jumping Fuck that, I want to See some fist pumping Risk something Take back what's yours Say something that you know They might attack you for 'Cause I'm sick of being treated Like I had before Like it's stupid standing for What I'm standing for Like this war is really just A different brand of war Like it doesn't cater the rich And an abandon the poor Like they understand you In the back of the jet When you can't put gas in your tank These fuckers are laughing their way To the bank and cashing their check Asking you to have compassion and to have some respect For a leader so nervous In an obvious way Stuttering and mumbling For nightly news to replay And the rest of the world Watching at the end of the day In the living room laughing Like what did he say? Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen In my living room watching But I am not laughing 'Cause when it gets tense I know what might happen The world is cold The bold men take action Have to react Or get blown into fractions Ten years old is something to see Another kid my age drugged under a jeep Taken and bound and found later under a tree I wonder if he thought the "next one could be me" Do you see? The soldiers they're out today That brush the dust from bulletproof vests away It's ironic At times like this you pray But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads Inside your markets, your shops, your clothes My dad, he's got a lot of fear I know But enough pride inside not to let that show My brother had a book he would hold with pride A little red cover with a broken spine In the back he hand wrote a quote inside When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die Meanwhile, the leader just talks away Stuttering and mumbling For nightly news to replay And the rest of the world Watching at the end of the day Both scared and angry Like what did he say? Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen With hands held high Into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up To swallow you With hands held high Into a sky so blue The ocean opens up To swallow you. With hands held high Into a sky so blue The ocean opens up To swallow you. With hands held high Into a sky so blue The ocean opens up To swallow you. With hands held high Into a sky so blue The ocean opens up To swallow you. With hands held high Into a sky so blue The ocean opens up To swallow you
fuck. this song always has been my fav I don't even lie. sometimes you got sick of listening to one band all the time so you deleted some of the songs in your tracks but I never did with this song. because when mike rap it was like a prayer and Chester Aamen it. like the best song . the best duet. the best duo. fuck this is hurt. forever heart broken
Linkin Park has changed their style quite a bit between Hybrid Theory/Meteora and Minutes to Midnight. Regardless, the change still sounds great.. for the most part. This song especially, though, is amazing. The meaning behind the words and song in general are not only very, very true.. but with hope, this can be used as a sort of anthem to open the eyes of the world.

This part means the most to me "When the rich rage war, It's the poor that die" Its very true. Favorite song. Will listen to as long as I can live. Means alot to me. Many people. Different reasons. Not much else to say. By that I mean so many things, so hard to choose.
I've listened to this song a thousand times, and it will be a thousand times more... So what is happening with today's music? Can any artist of today's mainstream music make such a beautiful masterpiece like this? I don't think so.
It's awesome hearing Phoenix sing with Mike and Chester :D and of course all 6 of the guys make music heaven to me. Nice job squashing the clips together!
its funny that this song was originally written for the war in Iraq during the bush administration but now it somehow applies to trump almost 20 years later. weird how that works.
In mather of fact BreakDownReviews, I thank them for my life, ive had alot of downs.. And Linkin Park gave me, and alot of others strenght. You can't say it's rubbish, cause.. admit it.. Haven't you thought that ur alive cause of ONE person, and one person alone? LP helped me alot.. Now with my girlfriend i live today. And i hope linkin park keeps on making beautiful music, thouse guys are really inspiring to keep going.
So. much. passion. Best live show I've ever seen from anybody. Just wow. It hits you right in the heart. You can tell the amount of passion they put into this song.
I don't like alot of Linkin Parks newer sons but what they stand for is something I can relate to, this song is a masterpiece, keep doing what your doing and maybe one day the whole world can listen to your message and wake up
I dont remember if i've already commented on this vid, but i literally fell in love with this live version of Hands Held High...I LOVE this song...and everyday I listen to it i'm about to cry... thanks LP.
To describe this in one word is impossible. Incredible, Fantastic, Beautiful, Deep, Amazing, Awesome, Epic. Just to say a few single words that can be used to describe it.
This song is great and doesn't have that much recognition on here or anywhere, for that matter. Mike really kills it in this song. "When the rich wage war its the poor who die." I don't think I'll be forgetting that line anytime soon.

Chester sounds like an angel.
He's now a angel
x2 Just #prayforchester
He's our angel
He is
The "Amen " in the first like a angel voice
He's an angel now, Rest in Peace Chester
it was computer edited sounds so
@@PROJECTJoza100 , r u ok dude ? , i think u listen to him not for a long time , it's ok
Wait? Is it Chester singing "amen?" It sounds just...wow... my jaw just dropped to the floor. Amazing.
Damn this hits super hard three years later.
It hit me the hardest out of all tributes an everything. jeez. He sounds eternal.. wow, will we never hear his voice again? I'm going through everything to hold on
it was heavily computer edited
I literally feel from the sky. This is like--- couldnt they have experimented this stuff out? Hell..and now he is no more
Όντως και εγώ το κατάλαβα, είναι ξεχωριστή εδώ η φωνή του. Είναι Αγγελική!!!
Masterpiece by mike...
I dont understand why he is so underrated???
hoping he will have a great solo career. post traumatic is wonderful
I like Mike's material, but he is still known as a rock musician. Rock musicians don't like rap that much. And hip hop fans don't like rock music that much. Sad, but true.
This is much better than the studio version. Amen.
No cap
WTF???
Brad on the Piano
Phoenix on Guitar (and Vocals at the end)
IT'S AMAZING!!!
LP Rocks :)
Hay veces que brad iba a al piano cuando mike cantaba
That ending is giving me goosebumps (when Phoenix, Mike Shinoda and Chester are singing together)
chester's amen is the best thing ive ever heard. :') and mike's lyrics r just incredible! i just cant.
True words guy...
TheIgorMC But wrong word "guy" :))
Mihnea Becea Sorry but I'm italian xD
I agree on this. This song is the truth some people don't wanna listen to. But, to be honest, this song reveals the true nature of what's going on in the real world.
The angel is no more R.I.P. Chester
No the angel just joined the Other Angels too look out and over the remaning People .
The harmony at the end is awesome.
you're right. that was just beautiful, wow.
***** I wish it was in the normal version as well...
Ryan Strait it is in the normal version. Only difference is that it is sung by Mike
Ludvig Burman i think that's what he meant, though - he (and i) wanted the other voices in there, too.
The harmony between chester and mike was incredible, especially live
This is amazing performance and the choir of angels singing "AMEN" is beautiful!!!! OHH sorry its Chester singing amen :-D :-*
1:27 - Still gives me a goosebump til today
the sad thing is that this is timeless
I didn’t realize how much I missed Chester until I watched this and started sobbing. Rest In Peace.
I get goosebumps every time Chester sings 'amen'
Chesters part sounds like a angel😍
Risk something say something you know they'll attack you for.
Amen
The first interlude, with Chester, is the only time any song, any piece of music, has genuinely brought me to tears with beauty.
From the first note, it is breathtaking. People always talk about him singing like an angel, and it is true. But this... is different.
The most beautiful "'Amen'' ever sang.
Chester was a tortured Angel. Evidenced by him singing Amen.
first song that really made me think, made me find something to stand for. "with hands held high into the sky so blue, as the ocean opens up to swallow you" never been more moved by raw emotion in a lyric. rip chester, voice of a legend and that he is, and all i can hope is that he's somewhere better than this.
OMG. He's such a beast at rapping, isn't he? Im still working and training on it LOL
yeap indeed. the beat is just perfect for the lyrics and the flow on it is perfect
Linkin Park is a part of my life, I LOVE rock. But this right here.... Wow 🙏 this always gets to me..
Man.... Chester’s voice, beautiful. Right when he sung Amen, I was in tears. I miss Chester so much.
Turn my mic up louder
I got to say something
Lightweights stepping aside,
When we come in
Feel it in your chest
The syllables get pumping
People on the street
They panic and start running
Words on loose leaf
Sheet complete coming
I jump on my mind
I summon the rhyme I'm dumping
Healing the blind
I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways
We march to the drumming
Jump when they tell us
They want to see jumping
Fuck that, I want to
See some fist pumping
Risk something
Take back what's yours
Say something that you know
They might attack you for
'Cause I'm sick of being treated
Like I had before
Like it's stupid standing for
What I'm standing for
Like this war is really just
A different brand of war
Like it doesn't cater the rich
And an abandon the poor
Like they understand you
In the back of the jet
When you can't put gas in your tank
These fuckers are laughing their way
To the bank and cashing their check
Asking you to have compassion and to have some respect
For a leader so nervous
In an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling
For nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world
Watching at the end of the day
In the living room laughing
Like what did he say?
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
In my living room watching
But I am not laughing
'Cause when it gets tense
I know what might happen
The world is cold
The bold men take action
Have to react
Or get blown into fractions
Ten years old is something to see
Another kid my age drugged under a jeep
Taken and bound and found later under a tree
I wonder if he thought the "next one could be me"
Do you see?
The soldiers they're out today
That brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
It's ironic
At times like this you pray
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads
Inside your markets, your shops, your clothes
My dad, he's got a lot of fear I know
But enough pride inside not to let that show
My brother had a book he would hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine
In the back he hand wrote a quote inside
When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die
Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling
For nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world
Watching at the end of the day
Both scared and angry
Like what did he say?
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
With hands held high
Into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up
To swallow you
With hands held high
Into a sky so blue
The ocean opens up
To swallow you.
With hands held high
Into a sky so blue
The ocean opens up
To swallow you.
With hands held high
Into a sky so blue
The ocean opens up
To swallow you.
With hands held high
Into a sky so blue
The ocean opens up
To swallow you.
With hands held high
Into a sky so blue
The ocean opens up
To swallow you
You're an angel now ♥♥♥
#RIPChester
Love
when the rich wage war is the poor who die.
one of the times that Dave Farrel plays the guitar
Chester's voice is just so... no words will ever be good enough to describe it.
Esa voz de un ángel al decir AMEEEEEEN ,AMEEEEEEN AMEEEEEEEN,AMEEEEEEEEN.Descansa en paz CHESTER BENNINGTON ❤💔😭😭👼👼🙏🙏
It's sad that I will (probably) never experience LP's live performance.
Why not? :(
Karin Åberg he's dead :'(
Who's dead?
Chester 😓😔😕
Wtf, Nihal said "he's dead" 6 months ago. It hasn't even been 3 months though??
fuck. this song always has been my fav I don't even lie. sometimes you got sick of listening to one band all the time so you deleted some of the songs in your tracks but I never did with this song. because when mike rap it was like a prayer and Chester Aamen it. like the best song . the best duet. the best duo. fuck this is hurt. forever heart broken
Chester....wow
One of my favorites of LP
Holy shit!!!! Brad plays the keyboard? Never seen that before! Amazing song. I got goosebumps a few times :) LP FOR LIFE!
I wish they made this the studio version or added it as an addition track. RIP Chester. Such a beautiful voice.
Linkin Park has changed their style quite a bit between Hybrid Theory/Meteora and Minutes to Midnight.

this might be the best performance of Hands Held High. so beautiful.
Chester's "amen"...
I like this song
#R.I.P. Chester 😢💔
I bet Jesus is smiling watching this
Still one of the best LP songs!
So emotional :'/ !!
RESPECT & AMEN...!!!
could watch this all day and never get bored

I think its with breaking the habit the most emotional song that exists
2021 angel voice. Miss u
We'll miss you Chester... R.I.P.
This song sounds perfect! Well, it would be nice if the whole band could sing "amen" or AT LEAST the crowd!!!
3 May 2020 I m still listening
This part means the most to me
"When the rich rage war, It's the poor that die"
Its very true. Favorite song. Will listen to as long as I can live. Means alot to me. Many people. Different reasons. Not much else to say. By that I mean so many things, so hard to choose.
Can u feel those goosebumps!
Words cannot describe the level of amazing this song is at.
@OrionWong1 phoenix, chester and mike..... just beatiful
I've listened to this song a thousand times, and it will be a thousand times more...
So what is happening with today's music? Can any artist of today's mainstream music make such a beautiful masterpiece like this? I don't think so.
It's awesome hearing Phoenix sing with Mike and Chester :D and of course all 6 of the guys make music heaven to me. Nice job squashing the clips together!
Wow.... Chester has such a heavenly angelic voice.. Really beautiful
not an angle's voice... but angels many angels singing to this beautiful song
theres a 3rd singer at the end. i take it thats phoenix, he sounded pretty good.
Yeah! You think right! Even thought, Phoenix is doing backing vocals on H.H.H., and also on THE LITTLE THINGS GIVE YOU AWAY
Glad to have found this. My favourite version now.
Goosebumps
It's amazing how Linkin Park can still remain awesome Live. I mean, this song is just awesome, and even better live.
I love so much Mike's lyrics.
its funny that this song was originally written for the war in Iraq during the bush administration but now it somehow applies to trump almost 20 years later. weird how that works.
OMG this has to be one of the best live performances in all the history of music, almost every song by LP sound better live
Even rocks would cry on song like this one.... Amen Linkin Park you guys are the best
Exactly! I didnt expect it...and it sent chills down my spine!
Imagine watching this live there.. oohhhhhh 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
In mather of fact BreakDownReviews, I thank them for my life, ive had alot of downs.. And Linkin Park gave me, and alot of others strenght. You can't say it's rubbish, cause.. admit it.. Haven't you thought that ur alive cause of ONE person, and one person alone? LP helped me alot.. Now with my girlfriend i live today. And i hope linkin park keeps on making beautiful music, thouse guys are really inspiring to keep going.

When I hear this song I burst out into tears. Amazing song, maybe even the best simply cause it has so much meaning.
Amen
I love it when chester begans to sing amen, between the verses. What an amazing performance!
I don't like alot of Linkin Parks newer sons but what they stand for is something I can relate to, this song is a masterpiece, keep doing what your doing and maybe one day the whole world can listen to your message and wake up
my heart hurts, because it sounds so beautiful
cant choose by 2 of them live or orginal
I choose live

Chester,,, He used to sing with his heart out
And our hearts melted right their 😔
Lost him so early
this is probably one of the most touching songs ive ever heard
I dont remember if i've already commented on this vid, but i literally fell in love with this live version of Hands Held High...I LOVE this song...and everyday I listen to it i'm about to cry... thanks LP.
1 word sums this up an it's.EPIC 😎
'Amen' gives me goosebumps!! :/
One of the best Linkin Park's songs...I love it!!!
so powerful, so right.. so beautiful... one of the best song ever
Chester's "amen" ..wow..
This song is still so relatable and heart breaking.
To describe this in one word is impossible. Incredible, Fantastic, Beautiful, Deep, Amazing, Awesome, Epic. Just to say a few single words that can be used to describe it.
great idea/concept dude.
This song is great and doesn't have that much recognition on here or anywhere, for that matter. Mike really kills it in this song. "When the rich wage war its the poor who die." I don't think I'll be forgetting that line anytime soon.
I wanna hug the 6 of them after this wonderful song....amazing...
This is the best song by the band so far!!
awesome song it pretty much shows that everything and everyone in our family and friends are worth figthing for
This tears my heart apart
when chester's vocals came in, that sent a shiver down my spine!
