Being a lady whos been abused by a partner, this song sums all the feelings i went through. You put upna wall to orotect what little dignatity you have left. The fear of what comes next will haunt me forever. Being turned into something you aint then questioning who am i? I hurt deeply even now, i was destroyed totally and im haunted by what happened even now
YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE THE MOST ABOUT YOUR REACTIONS, IS WHEN YOU GET INTO IT YOU SCRATCH YOUR HEAD!! I GET INTO IT MORE, AND IT'S JUST WHAT I NEED TO SMILE!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING A TECHNIQUE TO GO YELL IT OUT. THE WAY NEGATIVE ENERGY EATS YOUR SOUL IS SO UNREAL. NOT GONNA LIE THIS IS A STRUGGLE I AM TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF. YOU MAKE ME SMILE EVERY TIME I WATCH ANYTHING YOU DO, NOT JUST MUSICAL REACTIONS, AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW PRICELESS IT IS TO ME WHEN I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO PULL UP OUT OF MY OWN HEAD!! KEEP ON SCRATCHING THAT HEAD AND SPREADING YOUR POSITIVE ENERGY!! I AM TRULY GRATEFUL FOR FINDING YOU HERE, AND I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU IMPACT THOSE OF US WHO NEED LIGHT IN OUR LIVES!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND I PRAY A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR AHEAD FOR ALL OF US, & I HAVE FAITH THAT NO MATTER WHAT COMES OUR WAT YOU WILL BE A LIGHT TO BE A GUIDE IF IT GETS DARK!! GOD 🙏 BLESS YOU!!
This song came before Numb. Crawling was on their first album, Numb was on the second. React to their song "Faint" for a different uptempo Linkin Park. Fantastic stuff!
Damn I never realized that and I've been listening to those songs for over a decade lol. Bro you got some good ears and recognition skills. I still love the songs nothing can ruin it for me but your reaction was spot on good job bro.
Most of LP songs are based on Round-Chords frame. That's why most songs fit into 4-bar music. That's why they could put the verse lines into Chorus, That’s why LP is a little bit poppy and trendy. And that’s why LP’s Hybrid Theory was so successful.
Chester was abused as a kid."against my will I stand beside my own reflection" as Chester walks next to the girl under going sexual abuse along depressions. this song is related to that, along other depressing things
Proud Tennessee Girl Trump 2Q2Q It doesn’t matter who wrote the song! This video is about Sexual abuse! I can relate because these words are MY life! EVERY SINGLE WORD I could relate too! If you watch the video again, watch the girl and how that guy comes in the room several times. When Chester was looking at his reflection, he was looking at himself through that girl and what was happening to her. He wasn’t as depressed as he seemed? He isn’t here because of suicide! Seriously!?
It's OK if they sound alike they both touch chords in people that are in pain heartache insecurities... I can relate to both those songs so well! Rest in peace Chester rest in peace you are truly missed!!!!!!😥💔💯
Some hurt is just too much to take... I've been suicidal since I was 10, I'm 35 now. Now I'm able to take my anger, frustration, and depression and take it out on video games instead of hurting myself plus I listen to angry rock and angry heavy metal plus foriegn rock and metal
You should listen to the live version from their one more light tour, Chester did it acoustic and to me that’s my favorite version after his passing, tells a story you can feel slightly better
Linkin’ Park, and other metal, is my stress/anger music. Hybrid Theory, Reanimation and Meteora got me through a very hostile divorce and custody battle (DV related).
I never noticed that similarity between the songs before but i think it's neat. You should definitely check out the song from the inside by linkin park
First of all RIP Chester Bennington 😔 This song is said to have a special meaning to Chester especially, since its lyrical content is based on his own life experiences. And due to such, he reportedly got emotional when he was called upon to perform “Crawling” live. While listening to Linkin Park’s “Crawling”, it becomes obvious that the narrator is dealing with a serious situation. The lyrics read as if he is inflicted with some sort of internal dilemma. And this dilemma ultimately results in “too much pressure”, ‘confusion’, ‘insecurity’ and other unfavorable conditions. But what exactly serves as the source of these issues is open to the interpretation. This song manifests that nasty feeling that something is crawling under your skin. Much of the lyric delivered by Chester Bennington deals with the side effects of taking methamphetamines - a drug he used throughout his teens. The anxiety, hallucinations and a feeling of things crawling under his skin. The song, though, can apply to anyone feeling uncomfortable and helpless. In the video, the girl (played by Katelyn Rosaasen) is physically abused by her father. At the beginning, we can see all her bruises. Many of the lyrics demonstrate how hard it is to break the cycle of abuse ("These wounds, they will not heal" and "It's haunting, how I can't seem to find myself again, my walls are closing in"), and how self-confidence is crushed. The blue crystal background closes in on her at the beginning of the first chorus - this shows an emotional shell that she has built around her. The thick make-up is like a mask, trying to hide what's going on inside. The septum ring is designed to link with Chester's lip ring. When the girl walks away from her boyfriend, it's because she's too scared to get close to people. This is also true for the high school bathroom scene. When Chester sings, "Against my will I stand beside my own reflection," he and Katelyn are looking at each other. She looks like she wants to get out of the shell she's in. She also sees painful memories from her past in the crystal. When the second chorus starts, the crystal begins to break and chunks of it are flying about - this is her shell falling down. It represents her father's departure, as does her smiling at the end with the roses in the vase. She's not wearing the thick make-up because she doesn't feel like she needs the protection of a mask - she's got nothing to hide from.
There is a slowed down version to this song with just piano and Chester's singing (live) that is just beautiful. I think it does use the same chord progressions as Numb... which I don't mind, because it's like "variation on a theme" (as my piano teacher called it)... but I love both these songs and also love your reaction to both. :) Edit: btw I love your mouth drumming that is awesome. I can't do that. Lol
That's very interesting. The two songs Crawling and Numb, do have somewhat identical cadences. 😂 I never really realized that until just now. Doesn't change anything though. I still love all of these songs. Chester's legendary vocals/voice. I still miss him and his influence so much.😢
Jackson browne, the load out/stay. ruclips.net/video/scsJZ67ssDY/видео.html you wont regret hearing it. Like 8 minutes long. And it's a cover of a 60's song that's like 2:30
The music of Linkin Park helped me so much growing up because I was a bisexual goth punk metalhead growing up after Columbine so I was attacked on a daily basis by my peers and the school administration so I was a total outcast so songs like this helped me persevere the persecution and survive
React to Giving Up he has a very famous 13 second scream in that song. Numb came after Crawling. Listen to the entire video of Giving Up live version is amazing.
For years he thought he was flawed The demon cut deep with it's claws Slashing away all he held dear Exposing raw fear He believes what the voices say With his emotions they play Assuring him he is to blame Exposing his pride to the flame He fights to sane His tears now leave his face stained He does not see the beauty within Love to him s a game he will never win If he only could see through his tears He would see others with the same fears He will see he is not alone out there He will find find someone who cares By Mike Lewis 8/22/19
A lot of their music sounds alike, it's almost trademarky to me😂yeah I said that. Another band that does that is Incubus. Not that their music is the same but has that same feel and similarities so we know exactly who it is when the beat drops😛
You are so right about the "white folks", "black folks" argument, I would much rather be called a white boy than a European American. lol I mean my family came here from Europe in the 1600's so its been a while lol :)
I need you to do more Linkin Park reactions. I would love for you to do a reaction to any of the following: Faint, Somewhere I Belong, Papercut, Breaking the Habit, Lying From You, and Shadow of the Day. Any LP song is good but these are all some of the ones that speak to me the most. I have more obviously but these are a few of the ones that mean a lot to me.
This song represented molestation an the most personal for Chester Bennington (blond) lead singer. He never got over his molestation . This was written for Chester by Mike Shinoda. It isnt the same. You need to listen better to lyrics anyway. an the other songs on the album. The words matter. Chester had multi levels to his vocals. #ripchesterb Scream singing. It never goes away the subject of this video. Personal experience. Yes, LP did rap/rock. Until 3rd album. They started it really. This 2000 dude. This song was off first album Hybrid Theory. Numb off second album Meteora. Search.
I get what you are saying but I am too scared to watch your videos from now on. LP is too sacred for me. I always return to them when I need to gather myself up. Loved the video.
Some people LOVE Linkin Park. Besides "Numb" nothing else impresses me that it's that interesting. Similarly, I've noticed their melodies seem rather cookie-cutter written. It might be lame quoting a movie, but in the movie "Eddie and the Cruisers" I totally agreed with Eddie's thoughts about (good) music; "words and music" (melodies). To me, you can't have one without the other. Well, you can have instrumentals, but if all music were instrumentals, then it would get pretty boring real fast. And words without melodies is just poetry. There's another aspect to music, it has to have soul (not referring to the genre of music). A belief or passion that lies behind the words and melodies. To me, Linkin Park is just intensity, but not passion. It's words, but not creative melodies. Basically, they made one hit song (with everything; passion, words, etc), and the rest of their career is playing off the wave of that one hit. To me, Linkin Park is just a one hit wonder.
Chester really made you feel what he was saying. One of my favorite LP tracks!
Is the end
Man he sung like an angel! Now he's singing with the Angel's! RIP Chester! Thanks man. Love it so much!
Being a lady whos been abused by a partner, this song sums all the feelings i went through. You put upna wall to orotect what little dignatity you have left. The fear of what comes next will haunt me forever. Being turned into something you aint then questioning who am i? I hurt deeply even now, i was destroyed totally and im haunted by what happened even now
This band actually helped me immensely out of my depression when I was younger. It's so sad how he helped so many strangers and he was so lost😭
Actually This Song was from their First LP. Numb came out a few years later
YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE THE MOST ABOUT YOUR REACTIONS, IS WHEN YOU GET INTO IT YOU SCRATCH YOUR HEAD!!
I GET INTO IT MORE, AND IT'S JUST WHAT I NEED TO SMILE!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING A TECHNIQUE TO GO YELL IT OUT. THE WAY NEGATIVE ENERGY EATS YOUR SOUL IS SO UNREAL.
NOT GONNA LIE THIS IS A STRUGGLE I AM TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF.
YOU MAKE ME SMILE EVERY TIME I WATCH ANYTHING YOU DO, NOT JUST MUSICAL REACTIONS, AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW PRICELESS IT IS TO ME WHEN I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO PULL UP OUT OF MY
OWN HEAD!!
KEEP ON SCRATCHING THAT HEAD AND SPREADING YOUR POSITIVE ENERGY!!
I AM TRULY GRATEFUL FOR FINDING YOU HERE, AND I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU IMPACT THOSE OF US WHO NEED LIGHT IN OUR LIVES!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND I PRAY A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR AHEAD FOR ALL OF US, & I HAVE FAITH THAT NO MATTER WHAT COMES OUR WAT YOU WILL BE A LIGHT TO BE A GUIDE
IF IT GETS DARK!!
GOD 🙏 BLESS YOU!!
This song came before Numb. Crawling was on their first album, Numb was on the second. React to their song "Faint" for a different uptempo Linkin Park. Fantastic stuff!
Or Breaking the Habit
@@peterworth9403 Cant go wrong with that either
This is my youngest grandson, Austin's favorite band. I hear Linkin Park all the time around here!
I love this song! In my top 10 for sure!!! LP got me through some low times in my life. Thanks for another great reaction MRM!!
Damn I never realized that and I've been listening to those songs for over a decade lol. Bro you got some good ears and recognition skills. I still love the songs nothing can ruin it for me but your reaction was spot on good job bro.

That's why they could put the verse lines into Chorus,
That’s why LP is a little bit poppy and trendy.
And that’s why LP’s Hybrid Theory was so successful.
Wow ! I never knew both songs were that close to being virtually the same. You really opened my eyes. Great observation.
Chester was abused as a kid."against my will I stand beside my own reflection" as Chester walks next to the girl under going sexual abuse along depressions. this song is related to that, along other depressing things
Mike wrote this song... not Chester! He wasn't as depressed as the music made him sound!! Food for thought!
Mike was (hopefully is) the driving force behind so much of LP. Such an underrated musician.
Proud Tennessee Girl Trump 2Q2Q It doesn’t matter who wrote the song! This video is about Sexual abuse! I can relate because these words are MY life! EVERY SINGLE WORD I could relate too! If you watch the video again, watch the girl and how that guy comes in the room several times.

Seriously!?
Loved your reaction when Chester started singing. I never realised before how similar this is to Numb until you pointed it out.
He is so amazing, and I struggle his choice to end his pain.
We need to remember him for his amazing soul.
Saw Linkin Park in concert. The energy they brought to the stage was incredible. Especially Chester. R.I.P. Chester💔You are greatly missed😓😓💔
It's OK if they sound alike they both touch chords in people that are in pain heartache insecurities... I can relate to both those songs so well! Rest in peace Chester rest in peace you are truly missed!!!!!!😥💔💯
We all can. We went thru pain and turmoil in the past. This song made me release pain by singing it and screaming like he did. Awesome
Crawling came before numb.
love the fact that your strate forward and not afraid to be blunt
Some hurt is just too much to take... I've been suicidal since I was 10, I'm 35 now. Now I'm able to take my anger, frustration, and depression and take it out on video games instead of hurting myself plus I listen to angry rock and angry heavy metal plus foriegn rock and metal
Every great once in a while, when I can't take it anymore, I'll blare music while I'm in the shower and sob out my stress. So refreshing.
I really enjoy LP..my older sons wore this out as teenagers in the early 2000s, so I developed a love for the band also..LOL
Hey, man, pretty sick beatboxing! That's AWESOME! :)
I liked this song but I think my wife really liked it more than I did. My wife used to listen to Linkin Park all the time. She really enjoyed it.
Love this song 💚 My son got me into Linkin Park 👍 a powerful video and message👍👍👍
You should listen to the live version from their one more light tour, Chester did it acoustic and to me that’s my favorite version after his passing, tells a story you can feel slightly better
Also Hybrid Theory is the best LP album
I agree with you.
Linkin’ Park, and other metal, is my stress/anger music. Hybrid Theory, Reanimation and Meteora got me through a very hostile divorce and custody battle (DV related).
Love LP. Man he sure had an awesome singing style & voice.
I never noticed that similarity between the songs before but i think it's neat. You should definitely check out the song from the inside by linkin park

My my my! This is my life!
Wow I never noticed that before. You have a good ear for music
Crawling was first,for me they are not the same .....LP are the best and Chester is Legend .
That's very interesting. The two songs Crawling and Numb, do have somewhat identical cadences. 😂 I never really realized that until just now. Doesn't change anything though. I still love all of these songs. Chester's legendary vocals/voice. I still miss him and his influence so much.😢
Hybrid Theory, a great album and this is my favorite song of that one 😎👍
Jackson browne, the load out/stay. ruclips.net/video/scsJZ67ssDY/видео.html you wont regret hearing it. Like 8 minutes long. And it's a cover of a 60's song that's like 2:30
Yes that's one part of the song that you were saying, it does sounds like numb
Luv Linkin Park
Chester was a musical genius and IMO the voice of LP. His band Dead By Sunrise was great too. RIP Chester. The world lost a good one.
Good reaction. Great powerful vocals in this song. Yea, this and Numb do sound similar
You could hear Chester's pain in these songs. His suicide was so tragic. Chester RIP.
They spoke about pain. One of my favorite bands.
Mike from LP has a lot of new music out he is the guy who raps on most songs here .
RIP Chester.
I think most people would agree that their best song is One Step Closer, (I know not everyone agrees, hence the word "MOST")
A lot of their music is similar .. I like I know it's them by their beats and melody .
The music of Linkin Park helped me so much growing up because I was a bisexual goth punk metalhead growing up after Columbine so I was attacked on a daily basis by my peers and the school administration so I was a total outcast so songs like this helped me persevere the persecution and survive
I used to listen to this on repeat while I hid in the school bathroom
Sounds like you likely had a hard experience in school. It also sounds like this music helped you get through it. I hope it got better for you.
Why
Sounds like numb because are the same progression, also in the end.
React to Giving Up he has a very famous 13 second scream in that song. Numb came after Crawling. Listen to the entire video of Giving Up live version is amazing.
There's a remix if this song in their album "Reanimation" titled as "Krwlng".... It's ever more beautiful
Their best song
For years he thought he was flawed
The demon cut deep with it's claws
Slashing away all he held dear
Exposing raw fear
He believes what the voices say
With his emotions they play
Assuring him he is to blame
Exposing his pride to the flame
He fights to sane
His tears now leave his face stained
He does not see the beauty within
Love to him s a game he will never win
If he only could see through his tears
He would see others with the same fears
He will see he is not alone out there
He will find find someone who cares

Crawling came first
Good review: As a big Linkin Park fan, I've never even realized this, I just enjoyed the music
so insecuuuurrreeee

Slaves and Bulldozers by Soundgarden.

And darn this time difference.......
si senorita Nicole!👍👍👍Italy here
Morning Finland is here. Yes i agree w/you
Chester will be missed forever!
Not a song I would "pay" for but I would listen to it! 👍

Shadow of the day that's a song you might want to listen to
Breaking the habit and New Divide are other great linkin park songs
Omg he is right. It does sound like NUMB. OMG
Linkin Park Faint. If you want another gym song or Linkin Park Catalyst
The sng structure is jst similar!!
If you've never heard it you should listen to One Tin Soldier by Coven. It is an anti war song from 60's or 70's. It will make you think
Love likin park rip cheaster
LP - Breaking the Habit! 100% of meteora is amazing. This is Hybrid Theory. Also great
I get what you are saying but I am too scared to watch your videos from now on. LP is too sacred for me. I always return to them when I need to gather myself up.
Loved the video.
Should check out Chris Webby's new track "Flawed", changes things up a bit and gets back to Storytelling.
Some people LOVE Linkin Park. Besides "Numb" nothing else impresses me that it's that interesting. Similarly, I've noticed their melodies seem rather cookie-cutter written.

If you really want to listen to a song like you've never heard...Vladimir Vysotsky - Fastidious horses
Confuuuuuuuuuuusing, confuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusiiiinnngggg whattttttt issss reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllll
Reaction to Linkin Park-Waiting for the End! A good song and an unusual clip.
8:14, 8:29
A lot of modern pop music uses the exact same Melody lol. It's an industry thing.
You should react to "Kenji" by Fort Minor
It is Mike Shinoda (of Linkin Park)'s hip-hop project and has an interesting theme around his ancestry.
Dam I missed it lol now I'm watching it
Almost the exact same chord progression as numb
Can you do Toy Soldiers by Martika? Or Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me by George Micheal (featuring Elton John)? Or Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton?
Linkin Park - Nobody’s Listening please! That’s a work out song and way different.
Hmmm never heard this before and I am unsure about it. Interesting
I would like to suggest Black Sabbath - Children of the Sea. thanks for the reaction man
try gangstagrass, long hard times to come.
Yeah tbh all music has the same sounds now, hard to make new rifts or beats with so many people making so much music for so long
In these Kind of Songs i need To See lyrics. Btw you have To See dry comedy bar:iam not Black... FUNNY 😂
Janet Devlin covers the song numb please check it out thanks and enjoy ☘️🙏☘️
I think it's time you checked out Cat Stevens he's a great musician with many great songs
You should react to Tyler Childers- Charleston Girl
Please react to linkin park somewhere I belong please
