This song holds so much meaning to me. It helped me get through some dark days back when I was 15 and 16. I'll be 27 in 2 months.
greyonyx08 Same here
Xx_The Man_xX That's cool. Fort Minor was so slept on unfortunately.
@@greyonyx08 worse, Dead By Sunrise, Chester's spinoff
Now your almost 30 lol
i too remember those times now. just listened to it again today, it's been years. honestly luckily i got through where i am at now ten years later.
The most insightful and underrated song Mike Shinoda has EVER made.
100% agree
agree. I'm absolutely shocked how true Mike tells the story here
I’ve listened to this album and all it’s songs since it’s release. It’s 2023, l still appreciate the magnitude of the songs, the depths and emotions. Now l’m older and l can appreciate them
more now and understand why l loved them back then. Since l was standing in line at the store in anxious wait to then buying it at release, loving it all the way through and listening on repeat endlessly. Now years later, All l can do or say is turn it up, tell my friends and appreciate it dearly for all the memories.
Sincerely a loyal fan
You have friends you can talk about it, I envy you 😅😅
I couldn’t afford the LE album when it first released. So I didn’t discover this track until like 2013. Don’t get me wrong, I love every track on this album. But as someone who struggles with mental health and addiction, this one hits me the hardest…
@@IamSaralinka Sorry to hear about your struggles. As someone whom battled similarly in those struggles. I gotta say Keep that chin up. Unfortunately it takes work and feels like a constant fight at times but l assure, Life gets better 💪
The great thing is when you listen to it like 10-20 years ago and you rediscover it. But now it sounds even better because my English wasn't that good back then. You can clearly tell that this is the mind behind Linkin Park. Just genius timeless music.
@@robertmusil1107 But it still remains the same, 15-20years later. Thank you for responding.
I wish Mike would make another Fort Minor Album. Seriously, every song on this album is golden, there isn't one bad song on the entire album. I would even argue that this is one of the greatest hip hop albums to date, definetly the most underrated though.
"Not a thing is forgotten, not a thing is forgiven"
so true
yes :)
damn
That hit me on a whole different level.
Wow. Mike Shinoda is a generational talent. What a Beautiful song. Sounds like something that could have been on Meteora if Chester was on the vocals.
I think this song represents how we all feel when change sets in and the loneliness and confusion settles into our thoughts and just festers there
"Someone please explain to me,what happend to the way we always said we'd be."
Too true.
Fort Minor is so damn good, they came out new and trashed music charts for the entire year with The Rising Tied. As a testament to how good their music is, here I am, still listening to it 7 years later.
Me too ;)
Robert's will do the best he can. Thank you.
@@jameswrobertsjr3793 it's 2023 and I still listening every day
Epic bridge at 2:49 ("Can somebody please just explain to me..." how could they come up with such crazy music)
Restoring Memories!
Peace!
I love the way Mike flows in this song. Really slow, but still at a tempo acceptable in a rap song. He flows it in a way where each line stands out, and each line truly deserves too. I love this song, it's so close to home and Mike writes in such a beautiful tone thats univerally interpretational and relatable. Mike has such a huge influence over my writing and his music has done so much for me mentally...Thankyou Mike...Thankyou.
I found this song when I was 15 years old back in 2013.
I'm glad I found this song back then. it has helped me realize how people are these days and how true this song really is.
Me tooo, i was 15 years old when i listened for the firs tome, but it was 2008. Since this day i become in a fort minor fan, i really love Mike's songs and linkin park is My favorite band ever
@@Francois77469 the same thing for me, too
2023, anyone? Because this album deserves to live forever.
2024 and still a masterpiece
@@theodorelouis7545 Absolutely 💯
"The Hard Way"
Come with me
Let me walk you through the world that I currently stay in
You can take a look around and tell me if I'm mistaken
You can meet and talk to everybody that I live with
Maybe you can tell me why everybody's so distant
Is it me or maybe, when I look around daily
I don't even know the people I can put my trust in lately
People that I used to hang with now they're acting’ so different
I'm still the same person why doesn't anybody listen
Can somebody please just explain to me
What happened to the way that we always said we’d be
Right now I dunno why I push through the pain that I got through
And I'm losin’ hope
[chorus]
Deafening voices
That frequency inside my head that says
I'm going at it the hard way I focus
Get everything inside out of my brain that claims
I'm going at it the hard way
Come with me
Let me walk you through the world that I currently live in
Not a thing is forgotten, not a thing is forgiven
Nobody can hold their own underneath the weight but
Nobody can take the blame for their own mistakes so
What do you do when somebody lets you down
And you wanna say something but you can’t 'cause they're not around
Inside you think they know the extent of the pain
But they won’t even admit that they were the one to blame
Can somebody please just explain to me
What happened to the way that we always said we’d be
'cause right now I dunno why I push through the pain that I got through
And I'm losin’ hope
[chorus]
Voices (voices) in my head (in my head)
Can somebody please just explain to me
What happened to the way that we always said we’d be
Right now I dunno why I push through the pain that I got through
And I'm losin’ hope, give me one reason not to
[chorus]
Thank you
Thanks a lot
the song of my life
dang
Me ✌🏼
haha that's it :D
You're not alone ma friend😏
Strings, pianos, guitar, and really complicated drum work. Man, those weird drums on this track are so insane and catchy at the same time. Also, Kenna...man his voice, no autotune there. He has some meditative vocals. Cmon Mike, make an album with him, please.
Some of the best drum programming ever
Mike's beats are recognizable for sure. Not overly complicated but he understands grooves or whatever the technical terms are
Thank you Mike, for this timeless masterpiece album.
my favorite song from the album
aww, so much memories...
"What do you do when somebody lets you down
And you wanna say something but you can’t 'cause they're not around
Inside you think they know the extent of the pain
But they won’t even admit that they were the one to blame"
Exactly what I'm going through. It's one of the worst things a person can do to you.
I just don't understand Mike.
I've never seen anyone with this kind of skill in all parts of music and art, it's just amazing.
2021 e ainda ouvindo essa obra de arte!!!
Why this isn’t on Spotify? Please this song helps me a lot
One of the best Fort Minor songs…and it’s not even on iTunes.
Why?
It came out on the Limited Edition album cd.
My guess is they want to keep it limited; as it’s in my opinion the best song on the album. They wanted to keep the purity of the song where you had to look for it.
Just my thoughts.
It sucks you can’t download this song or the limited album anywhere
Yup. I always have to come to RUclips to listen to it as it isn't on standard streaming services 🥺 I'm just glad it is on RUclips at least
@@emiliocedeno369can you Name few? My memory is a bit sketchy
TIA
Now it should be
2021 thats songs is a masterpiece
Memorizing the day we lost and forgetting once again... never forget just that one thing... chester is always proud of you mike... dont forget Fort Minor...
The memories keep flooding in...
Time is a funny constant.
"The sad moment when you realize how alone you actually are. No one ever message you on Facebook first or texts you first or anything. So it gets to the point where you don't want to put in the effort with people who don't put in any effort for you, so you end up spending your life at home, never going anywhere."
You okay man?
Start doing things alone , you don't need to be in others company to have fun.
@@futjakot9075 He's right
U never need anyone, as long as u have yourself you've got everyone u need
i hope you're doing good now.
The moment when you forgott how and about what you should talk in a conversation because you don't know how to interact with people anymore.
Great track. One of the few hip-hop instrumentals that's not a 4 4 beat.
is it 6/4
@@musaa.7973 3/4 or 6/8
@@steves6094 thanks alot, funny people still commenting on a bonus song 16 yrs old. testament to mike shinodas genius
What??
6/8, he really made those drums bang in That 6/8 pocket
I WANT THIS ON SPOTIFYYYYY
Just on soundcloud
for real🤞
It's on there now
The piano chord sounded quite similar to "What i've done."
Mike shinoda is the producer of most of the music they make.
@@dspock umm Fort Minor is his own project
this songs reflects the reality and how things change when we grow up. lots of childhood friends we dont talk to anymore.
A lot of memories about this track. I used to listen this in my school when i was in 8th or 9th grade or playing Lineage 2 on this. Now i am in University on 2nd grade man time flies..(
The hard way is more rewarding than the easy way.
Everything prefers the past of least resistance
Wish this was the case, always. I can be up 6 days at a time every week. I begin to see and hear things. Think people breaking into the house, or that there are conspiracies against me. Really it’s me going into psychosis
@@yeshuadot630 Bipolar Disorder is a bitch, right?
yeshua dot hope you are better now.
Tell that to all of Pay to Win in the video games now
UGH !
Still love this song..
This song is timeless
I just want to say that this song is probably one of the most meaningful songs in my library. I listened to it a lot one winter when I discovered it. At the time my life had taken a huge turn for the worse: I was living with my best friend whom I felt was growing more distant from me every day (and which deeply troubled me bc I loved him like a brother, still does now that we don't speak anymore), my girlfriend and I had just gone through a rough breakup, my parents had disowned me and we weren't on talking terms, and I felt like everybody hated me. Things fell apart and I had a huge fight with my friend, which rekindled my relationships with my parents and my girlfriend. I used to think of myself being mike, and him being the one i was talking about im the lyrics. But today i realize I was the one that was described in the lyrics, and I was wrong. And honestly to this day this song still makes me think of him, and to this day I still miss him and wish things would have gone differently. This song hits me deeper than any other, thank you Mike for the wonderful music, and sorry it took so long to write this comment!
How you doing now?
@@CODMWX you know it's funny, life's turned way around these days. I actually reached out and made amends with the friend I was talking about shortly after this post bc this song got me thinking about it. 2 years and we're back to being close friends again. 3 years and it's like nothing ever changed except the bond is stronger now. Life's got a funny way of working out like that
@@thepunkredjay7963 I am happy for you man, was asking becouse I am in kinda a bad position now in life :/
@@CODMWX you know, I definitely know the feeling. Used to vibe to this song that one winter, couldn't listen to it for years after bc it brought me back so many painful memories of people I lost, stupid things I did, and moments where if I had just been a bit more sensible then I could have changed everything.
Things seemed so bleak back then, like everything id ever built just fell apart in front of me, years upon years of work just gone in the wind. I vibed so hard to that last line "I'm losing hope, give me one reason not to". But you gotta keep your head up, things look up eventually. That winter ended and it took years to set everything straight again, but I did it. It took me a long time to set everything straight but I'm stronger for it .
And you know what? I wouldn't change a thing. Its that experience that shapes me to be who I am now, a stronger person, a better person, and someone who is working to make their own music now to hopefully help out every soul out there that was as lost as I was. Keep your chin up, I believe in you. I believe we can all make it through, we just have to weather our storms and face the trials life throws at us.
@@CODMWX and to quote another song Mike and LP did, "May your love never end, and If you need a friend, theres a seat here alongside me"
2016 and still listening
Same
2017 ✌️
2018
2018 still here with Fort Minor, amazing tracks
Stay strong Mike,fans are with YOU
What did happen to the way we said we'd be....stole the words right out of my mouth!
I cherish my children and the music they bring to my ears
Rock songs are usually the types of songs that can touch me heart so much to the point where I cry listening. But this is one of the few rap songs that is able to touch my heart the way rock does. As I listen I think about the people that I thought I knew, thought I could trust. It feels so sad how people can switch up on you. Thank you for this song.
One of his best songs along with bloc party and 100 degrees !
Favorite song still
I'll never quit listening to this amazing song ❤❤❤❤
Man if only I had a drum set here. Ocdp.... zidljian cymbals.... maple cusyom vintage snare! 5b or 7a drum sticks! 👍. Mike Shinoda. Sincerely thanks .man to man. Respect
I met your project today. I really like what you do. In general, I'm a fan of heavy music, but I love your voice and I like the atmospheric and magical music that you do. Now I'm drawing and I'm very pleased to relax with your music. Thank you!
I hear you Mike. I do.
Bawled my damn eyes out.
why is that?
same
I'm not even talking about lyrics, or music (those too though) but the syllables and beat line up so well, just perfect.
an ode to my life
These lyrics are powerful and insightful.
Most relatable song I've heard
Me too
Happy New Years everyone ! Still listening entering 2K22 🎆🎊🎉🎇🥳🎈
i dont knoe why m.shinoda left this project...it was super awesome..There are some pretty good songs
"pretty good songs" is an understatement.
He never left his project, but LP comes first, same goes for Chester and DBS
+Meine Namen It's a break and when he feels like he got something, he'll publish it (eg Welcome)
And now Chester is dead... 😭😭😭
@@tessmarie2933 and that hits very badly.
I think this is my favorite Fort minor song
2018 and still here 🤘
Im still listening 🎉
want me to be honest? This the best song I've ever heard.
gotta love fort minor
I was absolutely obsessed with Linkin Park in junior high which was around the same time this album came out. Been a while since I revisited but I can still somehow remember the lyrics to a lot of these songs. Still excellent.
Same. It helps that both Chester and Mike are brilliant at enunciating so clearly when they sing/rap.
Amazing band. Wish them the best. I also want Mike to record another album with Styles of Beyond. The Rising Tied is one of the best hip hop albums ever for me. And Mike's voice and rapping... The best sound ever.
This song is so perfect for former friends who you had a close bond with only for them to turn their backs and stab yours.
Life always loves to introduce a little chaos when you thought you could catch a brea.
One of the best tracks by Fort Minor...love it.
Great song. Definitely has another meaning, that you don't find in many songs anymore.
Definitely!
Mike shinona make more songs like this please
come on spotify!
One of the greatest song I've ever heard
Amo demais ❤️
Holy shit i used to listen to this a lot back when i was depressed and suicidal. Brings back memories
This album is delicious. Absolutely delicious.
Nostalgia hurts

I have no fucking clue why this song alone isn't on Spotify but seeing it's still here is good enough honestly

Mike + Eminem = Epic collab of the 21st century
still here in 2020
I remember trying to download a song from limewire that I thought was a Linkin Park song but turned out to be this... I ended up loving it but couldn’t find the real song name (I even tried using spotify)... Now, 8 years later I decide to search up the song again and I finally find it!!
old but gold
2019 memories 😚😚
back in the limewire days, i downloaded this under "rare linkin park mix" and it was only a year or two ago that I found out it was Fort Minor, because searching up that ish was a mission and a half. lmao dope music, deeper meanings...
I have been listening to this hidden gem since I was 7. Now I'm 19, and the words mean just as much as they did then as they do now.
Love you Mike.
2021 and still jamming. Reminds me when I started college/university 9 years ago and would bump this as I would walk around the city with my Nike hoody. This album makes me feel calm and makes me take an introspective look into my life. Crazy to think this came out in 05.
2023 Hell Yeah!
Why is this not on Spotify??? :(((
Not on itunes either smh
Not on Google Play either :(
same, i cant find this on spotify
Its a bonus track.
@Remage please do!
Why can't we have more of this music be mainstream. Meaningful music to vibe to... Still here in 2024. Great song.
Awesome album!!!
my god this man has got me through so much shit, mike for life his songs really relate to me and do mean something and have had such an impact in my life..
