4:30 unfortunately he didn't heal. In case you didn't know he committed suicide in 2017. He was and still is an inspiration for a whole generation including mine. Rest in Peace Chester
I work in Torrance California near where Chester resides. I live 30 miles away so I never had a chance to meet him but plenty of my coworkers and friends have. Heard he was really humble. Watching And listening to him in this music video is Erie. My best friend met him just a few months before tragedy struck (just outside 24hr fitness in PCH Torrance. A gym I go to after work). May he Rest In Peace. #legend
It's really refreshing to see someone enjoy this song the first time, since a lot of people actually grew up with the song and wish we could re-experience it for the first time again.
The amount of times I would go hoarse belting their music out never knowing that at so many times their music was helping me Chester was fighting his own mental health demons. RIP man 🙏🏻😔😢💙
The lead singer wrote this about the sexual abuse he suffered as a child and it constantly being part of u no matter how far u run. R.I.P Chester Bennington we should have truly listened to your words.
And that's also why they used a woman as an example because at that time it wasn't okay to talk about male problems and be accepted. Which was also a struggle for him and most others. This band saves lives. It's sad chester took his but they saved lives. Great people are not guaranteed a pass or life without struggle. Chester proves that. Everyone's human. RIP chester. Thanks for the memories.
That makes so much sense bc the lady was obviously portraying being abused and then he said he is “looking in the mirror” and she is his reflection showing that she was him in a sense
Aye. I found this song for the first time in 2008, right when I began my journey of healing from a childhood of sexual abuse. At the time I didn't know Chester's story, but so many of his songs reached right down into the very depth of my heart and soul and touched the hurting wounded places in ways that only a fellow survivor would understand. I knew instinctively long before I knew his story that he had been in the places I had been and experienced those things. There is no other way to write about it in such a way if you haven't been there. Here it is 2022, almost 15 years since that journey started and I can say and testify, that healing IS possible. It's not an easy road and yes it will always be apart of me, but the damage it did has been lessened and in some places put to rest.
Its not that his perception is that wounds dont heal, its a song about victims of abuse. Their perspective a lot of the times is that there is nothing they can do about the abuse that they face, or that the marks on them are part of the process of helping their abuser get better. "Against my will I stand beside my own reflection. It's haunting how I can't seem to find my self again, these walls are closing in." Victims of abuse can lose a sense of self and their world revolves around their abuser and what will make them happy(make them not hit you for a few more hours). "crawling in my skin(discomfort at the situation) these wounds they will not heal(cant get away from the situation, the wounds will come back again), fear is how I fall(get knocked down and stay there out of fear) confusing what is real(losing yourself in the situation).
You can also view this song from the perspective of depressions. Crawling in my skin (being in your mind the whole time) These wounds they will not heal (depression never really goes away) Fear is how I fall (fear is what brings you down, the fear of what you might do, the fear that you'll affect others by doing/becoming something you shouldnt) Confusing what is real ( Not sure what im thinking is real or not) Thesres something inside me that pulls beneath the surface, consuming, confusing (Depression is fatigueing, and its always there, in the background) This lack in self control i fear is never ending, controlling, how i cant seem to find myself again, my walls are closing in (i cant control my mind anymore, this will go on forever, and i cant seem to be myself anymore, depression is taking its tall on me) Ive felt this way before, so insecure!!!! Discomfort endlessly has pulled itsself upon me, distracting, reacting (Depression never really leaves you, its always there, ready to strike) Against my will I stand beside my own reflection, its haunting , how i cant seem, to find myslef again, my walls are closing in, ive felt this way before, so insecure!!!! (Not wanting to be who you are, you can't seem to figure out what is happening to you, but you know it's wrong, depression striking all the time and taking it's tall on you)
His lyrics are so deep around depression and anxiety, it's hard now that we realise these weren't just lyrics for him bit real pain he was struggling with =( never be afraid to reach for help people, and never forget to check in on your friends, and I mean legit check in, not just say, "you good" and leave it at that, but actually show serious interest in thier well being and life, make sure they never feel alone. RIP Chester
I'll never regret watching that first Transformers movie cause it introduced me to Linkin Park which introduced me to a whole new genre as well. But Linkin Park being the main group that got me & so many others so interested says so much about their impact to the music industry..
"Against my will I stand beside my own reflection" Possibly the best lyrics in the song and overall from the band. It just hits so hard the meaning and feeling behind it.
It really makes you think. I watched an interview with Chester that took place, not too long before the suicide, and he said something that really made me go "Fuck" He said something along the lines of "I cannot be alone with my own thoughts inside my head. Its not healthy for me." You can seriously see that in some of these songs.
That song was recorded over 20yrs ago now...he would have been in a different frame of mind... especially because he was just starting out at that time. From all the interviews I watched...at the very beginning Chester was a recovering Ice-addict and Mike Shinoda and the other band members got him off using.
I read that Chester was a victim of child abuse, but dunno is that real.. there's so many other factors that leads to mental suffering like anxiety, depression etc, some people are just wired differently. But LP just hits so differently that all other bands, thanks to legends
Chester is facing the girl while singing "Against my will I stand beside my own reflection", as if she was his reflection. Chester was, in fact, abused as a child. So this girl is most likely representing Chester himself.
@@GriffinPilgrim yes , when I was younger I never listen the lyrics cause english was not my main language , just enjoying the rock but now it's feel so much more lol , the song was so fired when I know it's mean
Mike Shinoda, of Linkin Park, is still out here making music on his own. His music is fire. Still killing it, even though he’s on his own. His newest single “Fine” is fantastic. I’d recommend that one. Him alone showcases what he brought to the table that was Linkin Park. Super good stuff.
Chester the singer led a life of anguish after being sexually abused as a young little boy. Sadly the thing that made him an amazing artist is what killed him. I miss him and wish someone could have helped.
Mike Shinoda is a phenomenal lyricist/rapper with tons of musical talent. Chester is was & always will be a great artist making us feel what he feels. R.I.P.
I Brought back the milk hahahaha you made me laugh with the rookie mistake. Alot of my friends are hiphop heads and this is the exact thing they always fuck up with when I hit them with some classics, especially in the car. "Aye let me put the volume up" "Ight, your choice" "Whaddyu mean my choice?" And then boom, t hits 😂😂🤷🏻♂️
@@hwafans the same for me. That song will make me cry, for 2 reasons, one obviously is because of Chester and the other is because of Chris Cornel, because linkin park sang it live a day after his death to honor him.. This music is too painful
"I'm confused." You have to be paying attention to the whole video to get the end. The girl at the end looking in the mirror starts the video in the same place, but crying, covered in in heavy makeup. Visually, it's implied that an older man is sexually abusing her. We see him come in, then he gets dressed and walk out. She goes to school. She's got the piercings and the makeup and black clothing. She's made an identity that's off-putting. She doesn't want anyone to get close. The people close to her have betrayed her and you can't risk that. At the same time, their rejection hurts. She's crawling around in her skin, her disguise, her armor. She can't bear to live as herself, but the persona she puts on helps. At the same time, the thing that protects her feelings keep her from healing from the trauma. When you wear a mask for so long, you start to forget what's underneath. You start to believe it. You begin confusing the mask for the reality underneath. The video/song doesn't go into how she overcomes it, but we see the mirrors she uses to craft this persona shatter towards the end. She doesn't need the mask. We see all the heavy mascara and eyeliner running down the drain after she washes it out. The nose ring, which for her was part of the mask, is gone. She can look in the mirror of reality instead of the warped perception of herself she used to have and see her real self and find peace.
I couldn't agree more with how you broke this down, but I must say I'm sick and tired of everyone making it out to be that goth styles and such are used as a mask to hide. Some of us just enjoy the way piercings and dark makeup and clothing looks. Society is annoying like that.
@@killinglonliness88 absolutely. There are people for whom it's just who they are. Others put it on to fit in or as protection. The same is true for trendy clothes, urbanwear, liking a popular sports team, etc.
Yes, but she is him. She is Chester. The man coming in the room is the drug(s)/addiction. That's why he looks at himself in the mirror... to the line " Against my will I stand beside my own reflection...it's haunting" She is him..his bruised soul... confused soul... with the blackness of addiction running thru her...him. Hence, the black water finally out of her.. her pores...her crying.. her wounds...free from the abuse of the drug. It goes down the drain. At least that's how I see it :)
I think it’s about Chester. When he stares at his own reflection he sees her in the mirror. This song is about the wounds that won’t heal - he was unfortunately molested
You guys are both wrong... the only involvement by any "her" is that there is a woman in the video. It's easy to find... Chester has spoken many times about being abused by an "older male friend" between the ages of 7 and 13. Video takes the artistic license route as far as the woman is concerned. Having said, this song is more about his own personal feelings regarding his relationship with drugs and alcohol (which, to be fair, were clearly related to, if not a direct result of- not only the sexual abuse, but also the bullying and beatings he took in school), and the difficulty of dealing with surface problems (drugs n drink) when there are larger problems (unaddressed and undealt-with abuse and bullying that lead to massive loss of self-confidence and self-worth) lurking in the background, as well as the unshakable feeling that it was all somehow his own fault. I guess I win the internet for longest sentance... sheesh.
@@craigmoen1430 That's what I love about their music. The songs were written with clear meaning and intention, but they leave the lyrics just impersonal enough that a lot of people can relate to them, even if they're not going through exactly what Chester did. I suppose that's the sign of any great writer.
After he passed away. Everything clicked. He helped so many people suffering from depression an other things, we related to the music so much, we didn't stop to think, just how much he was feeling the same things we were. He helped us defeat our monsters, and sadly, lost the battle with his own in the end.
I loved this song. This is from the album “Hybrid Theory”, which was my first ever CD. Unfortunately my mom broke the CD, saying that it was music of the Devil. I could listen to the whole album to this day over and over!
I've always loved how deep their lyrics are. It was the one thing that got me through some tough shit growing up. And even now as an adult. I hate that Chester is gone now. RIP you amazing man!
I was in my 30s when this came out. Had just left an abusive marriage. This got me through hours and hours of trauma work about being abused. Sadly, Chester didn’t come out of his pain. RIP Chester.
I love that you are vibing with this song so much. makes my heart happy. CHester is such an incredible talent and taken far too early. miss hearing new songs with him on it
I remember where I was the first time I heard this song. Had to wait for the debut on the rock station. 9pm, had just gotten out of my high school job and blasted it in the parking lot. My favorite LP song to this day.
onyx0fire I’d prefer ATS but I’m not a huge fan of both of them. ATS is like the only linkin park album I don’t like. 1. Hybrid Theory 2. Meteora 3. One more light 4. MTM 5. Hunting party 6. Living things 7. ATS I don’t count remix albums
I did a purely piano version of this song for my chorus senior night solo, it was shortly after Chester had passed away and this song always meant a lot to me and it helped me through some shit in life and i wanted to honor him and trying to move on from like the shit I had been through and try to grow. It ended up being my best performance through high school and it happened right before my last lacrosse game in my high school’s uniform so adding that just made this song have an even more special place in my heart. I miss the hell out of Chester. I hope he’s resting easy
I liked ur reaction to this it’s amazing how u can boost our moods up even though we are listening to crawling thank u bro ! Love the vibes and energy ur giving off!
Hey, man! I listen to linkin park since I was a teenage, and you're making me see the lyrics in a different way, their songs is getting a new meaning to me, thanks to you! You're awesome!! 🤟
I wish I had friends like you. You seem like a very insightful person. I just recently found your channel and I can't stop watching these reactions. Good stuff
Tool: Jambi Disturbed: 10,000 Fists Apocaliptica: I Don't Care ft. Guy from three days grace Metallica: the unforgiven 2 or 3 Yeah. Those are some good ones
Dutch fan here, love how u interprete the lyrics from the get go, I grew up a Linkin Park fan and only now realize how Chester expressed himself. Your videos show how much you love music in general, keep up the good work!
How did I just find you?! This channel is 🔥🔥! I've been to LP concerts 6x, was singing along watching your reactions 🤣 PRICELESS! Gotta chexk more..I'm already binging on this channel..2hrs now🤩😎✨🔥
Omg I just found you and I love this! You do it almost every time. You "I'm gonna turn it up" Me "you really don't wanna do that lol" I love this please don't stop these!!
My first time watching your channel was POD-“Youth of the Nation” then I came to this video- I immediately subscribed! Even though you said you were confused, I really liked that you tried to understand what the song was about… thank you for honoring the lead singer Chester- RIP ❤
Back when I still did drugs, I thought the song was about addiction. Now that I know it's about someone abusing a child, and knowing Chester was abused, this song is much harder to listen to.
Their band name is the name of a secret military place in Canada I think where they do experiments on children (apparently)...... Connect the dots people 😉
It's actually still about drugs specially his drinking habits due to his abuse. Most times drug addiction is a secondary reaction to either trauma or social isolation (a form of trauma).
So I have watched a few of your videos today and I like how you react to music that is outside your norm. You have a deep appreciation for music of all kinds. Good music is good music. So it's your love for music that has made me click the subscribe
ruclips.net/video/6_RRIP8O5Jg/видео.html please do this Lincoln park live one step closer!!! Chester ALWAYS SOUNDS BETTER LIVE!!!!! He screams like a demon and sings like an angel!!! Imma spam the shit outta yal until u play it🤣🤣🤣🤣 spam it up!!!
Thank you for posting these videos. It’s now almost level 10 (Oct) of Jumanji lol... but this brought some laughs and smiles into my home. I’m a new mom trying to figure out this hell we are all enduring, so I am very grateful for finding you! Keep making us all smile, and God bless! :) And to Chester of Linkin Park... RIP :(
“The little things give you away”, it’s about Hurricane Katrina, and indifference. It will make any person feel. It’s a must listen for lyrical truth. As well as “Hands Held High”, which is about how we as a nation can often plainly see and feel a blatant lack of care and attention from those in power. “Turn my Mic up louder I got to say something, lightweights steppin aside when we come in...”
I gotta tell you... as a dude that writes song lyrics? "Against my will I stand beside my own reflection" is one of my favorite lines of ALL TIME! Its the kinda thing I WISH I would have thought to put on paper!
I freaking love the F note to F# note in the first two chords of the chorus in this song. I don't know how it does it, but it adds a sort of inevitable hopelessness to the sound.
This song like especially its beat or tune is legendary come on,and just try listening to the chorus deeply its just a masterpiece,the chorus literally makes me feel ALIVE Rip Chester 💖
As someone who always sought out the approval of others, I have always related to this song. It's crushing living your life by how others dictate it. They want you to act a certain way, so you do, they want you to draw a specific thing so you do, they want you to dress in the style they want you in and you do it because you don't want to be a dissapointment to them. And we keep doing it until we lose sight of who we really are. I always thought LP covered a lot of teen anxieties and social pressures in their music. This one I think means that you put up an act until you don't even know who you are anymore..

TearsOfLA Really well said.
You can also view this song from the perspective of depressions.
Crawling in my skin (being in your mind the whole time)
These wounds they will not heal (depression never really goes away)
Fear is how I fall (fear is what brings you down, the fear of what you might do, the fear that you'll affect others by doing/becoming something you shouldnt)
Confusing what is real ( Not sure what im thinking is real or not)
Thesres something inside me that pulls beneath the surface, consuming, confusing (Depression is fatigueing, and its always there, in the background)
This lack in self control i fear is never ending, controlling, how i cant seem to find myself again, my walls are closing in (i cant control my mind anymore, this will go on forever, and i cant seem to be myself anymore, depression is taking its tall on me)
Ive felt this way before, so insecure!!!!
Discomfort endlessly has pulled itsself upon me, distracting, reacting (Depression never really leaves you, its always there, ready to strike)
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection, its haunting , how i cant seem, to find myslef again, my walls are closing in, ive felt this way before, so insecure!!!!
(Not wanting to be who you are, you can't seem to figure out what is happening to you, but you know it's wrong, depression striking all the time and taking it's tall on you)
And fun fact: this is the only song Chester Bennington will never talk about because it hurts him so much

She doesn't need the mask. We see all the heavy mascara and eyeliner running down the drain after she washes it out. The nose ring, which for her was part of the mask, is gone. She can look in the mirror of reality instead of the warped perception of herself she used to have and see her real self and find peace.
I couldn't agree more with how you broke this down, but I must say I'm sick and tired of everyone making it out to be that goth styles and such are used as a mask to hide. Some of us just enjoy the way piercings and dark makeup and clothing looks. Society is annoying like that.
@@killinglonliness88 absolutely. There are people for whom it's just who they are. Others put it on to fit in or as protection. The same is true for trendy clothes, urbanwear, liking a popular sports team, etc.
At 2:29 that lady looks like a version of Ghislane Maxwell
Well said ❤
Yes, but she is him. She is Chester. The man coming in the room is the drug(s)/addiction. That's why he looks at himself in the mirror... to the line " Against my will I stand beside my own reflection...it's haunting" She is him..his bruised soul... confused soul... with the blackness of addiction running thru her...him. Hence, the black water finally out of her.. her pores...her crying.. her wounds...free from the abuse of the drug. It goes down the drain. At least that's how I see it :)
3:45 , the first time anyone ever cha cha'd to this song.
I still love LP but it's a little harder to listen to them now. Hearing the lyrics and knowing what happened to Chester 💯
Same bruh. Same.
Opposite for me, knowing he felt every word makes it if anything even more powerful.
Same thing
Same bruh
I was just thinking that, as I sing along with tears in my eyes!
RIP Chester. One of the greatest voices in rock history. One of my all-time jams. 🔥🔥
I'd love to see you react to classic deftones songs, I really wonder how you'd feel about them lol
It smells sour like funky
I get chills everytime listening to this
The song is based on her fear to leave. Shes experiences domestic violence and then in the end leaves and is free.
Great song choice, great reaction
I think it’s about Chester. When he stares at his own reflection he sees her in the mirror. This song is about the wounds that won’t heal - he was unfortunately molested
You guys are both wrong... the only involvement by any "her" is that there is a woman in the video. It's easy to find... Chester has spoken many times about being abused by an "older male friend" between the ages of 7 and 13. Video takes the artistic license route as far as the woman is concerned.
Having said, this song is more about his own personal feelings regarding his relationship with drugs and alcohol (which, to be fair, were clearly related to, if not a direct result of- not only the sexual abuse, but also the bullying and beatings he took in school), and the difficulty of dealing with surface problems (drugs n drink) when there are larger problems (unaddressed and undealt-with abuse and bullying that lead to massive loss of self-confidence and self-worth) lurking in the background, as well as the unshakable feeling that it was all somehow his own fault.
I guess I win the internet for longest sentance... sheesh.
@@craigmoen1430 That's what I love about their music. The songs were written with clear meaning and intention, but they leave the lyrics just impersonal enough that a lot of people can relate to them, even if they're not going through exactly what Chester did. I suppose that's the sign of any great writer.
Chester Benningtons wounds never did heal 😭 rest in peace
After he passed away. Everything clicked. He helped so many people suffering from depression an other things, we related to the music so much, we didn't stop to think, just how much he was feeling the same things we were. He helped us defeat our monsters, and sadly, lost the battle with his own in the end.
I swear, I LOVE your reactions. They’re so genuine! Makes me smile! Keep on doing what you’re doing!
When they come for me, The catalyst, wretches and kings
Yess, these ☝️
This song take me waaaaaaaaaaay back in time 🔥👌🏻
I love how you're a true musician. Always open to new styles and genres. The best LayedBak!
I loved this song. This is from the album “Hybrid Theory”, which was my first ever CD. Unfortunately my mom broke the CD, saying that it was music of the Devil. I could listen to the whole album to this day over and over!
I just recently came across your channel but your cool af and I love the reactions keep up the great work my guy🔥🔥
I've always loved how deep their lyrics are. It was the one thing that got me through some tough shit growing up. And even now as an adult. I hate that Chester is gone now. RIP you amazing man!
I was in my 30s when this came out. Had just left an abusive marriage. This got me through hours and hours of trauma work about being abused. Sadly, Chester didn’t come out of his pain. RIP Chester.
I've literally been browsing through all your reactions. This is my favorite!
I'm broke so I can't do patreon but I trust layedbak's community to request some fire stuff 🔥
Instant watch when this pops out on my notification
I love that you are vibing with this song so much. makes my heart happy. CHester is such an incredible talent and taken far too early. miss hearing new songs with him on it
I’m just binging on your videos like...these rock songs are taking me waaay back!
4:30
Your reactions are cool, liking the videos
But do a bit of background research on Chester Bennington
He was struggling his whole life
RIP
You should listen to:
Linkin Park: Waiting in the End
Linkin Park: What I've Done
Mike Shinoda: Over Again
Thank you for doing these videos. As great as they are... they remind me how much I'll miss hearing Chester.
I remember where I was the first time I heard this song. Had to wait for the debut on the rock station. 9pm, had just gotten out of my high school job and blasted it in the parking lot. My favorite LP song to this day.
“FR/GT10”- Linkin Park Reanimation
mathai moua I hate that album. But I love Linkin Park
Mumble rap Sucks Trump 2020 I still think Hybrid Theory overall is better. But Reanimation is still really good in my opinion.
onyx0fire oh I honestly can’t stand it. But I respect your opinion
Mumble rap Sucks Trump 2020 thanks lol. How do you feel about Living Things vs ATS
onyx0fire I’d prefer ATS but I’m not a huge fan of both of them. ATS is like the only linkin park album I don’t like.
1. Hybrid Theory
2. Meteora
3. One more light
4. MTM
5. Hunting party
6. Living things
7. ATS
I don’t count remix albums
I did a purely piano version of this song for my chorus senior night solo, it was shortly after Chester had passed away and this song always meant a lot to me and it helped me through some shit in life and i wanted to honor him and trying to move on from like the shit I had been through and try to grow. It ended up being my best performance through high school and it happened right before my last lacrosse game in my high school’s uniform so adding that just made this song have an even more special place in my heart. I miss the hell out of Chester. I hope he’s resting easy
I liked ur reaction to this it’s amazing how u can boost our moods up even though we are listening to crawling thank u bro ! Love the vibes and energy ur giving off!
This was a dope video! Keep it up bro. We need more like that
Hey, man!

Thank you for this! You just took me back to high school💗💨
Love the energy mate! Keep up the reactions :)
React to Busta rhymes - we made it ft. Linkin park !!

The perfect combo of 2 genres
OML
The Messenger and Waiting for the end by Linkin Park , PLEASE !!!!!

Dutch fan here, love how u interprete the lyrics from the get go, I grew up a Linkin Park fan and only now realize how Chester expressed himself. Your videos show how much you love music in general, keep up the good work!
Ps. Love your channel keep doing what your doing hun love the self love and positivity that you bring...
How did I just find you?! This channel is 🔥🔥! I've been to LP concerts 6x, was singing along watching your reactions 🤣 PRICELESS! Gotta chexk more..I'm already binging on this channel..2hrs now🤩😎✨🔥
Omg I just found you and I love this! You do it almost every time.
You "I'm gonna turn it up"
Me "you really don't wanna do that lol"
I love this please don't stop these!!
Listen to
Come a little closer - Cage The Elephant
Or ain’t no rest for the wicked lol their best song IMO
@@Logan-gb7uy dude I hadn't heard that in a while now I gotta go take a listen lol
Lol
Cold cold cold is still my favorite from them
Social Cues is also a banger
It makes me so sad that we’re never gonna hear anything else from Chester. He touched me😍
Back here on a new account man re watching, I love the respect you show people no matter the criticism you have.
My first time watching your channel was POD-“Youth of the Nation” then I came to this video- I immediately subscribed! Even though you said you were confused, I really liked that you tried to understand what the song was about… thank you for honoring the lead singer Chester- RIP ❤
Back when I still did drugs, I thought the song was about addiction. Now that I know it's about someone abusing a child, and knowing Chester was abused, this song is much harder to listen to.
That’s the beauty of their music, it can mean so much even if it’s based on something so specific. It’s amazing, Rest In Peace Chester.
Their band name is the name of a secret military place in Canada I think where they do experiments on children (apparently)...... Connect the dots people 😉
It's actually still about drugs specially his drinking habits due to his abuse. Most times drug addiction is a secondary reaction to either trauma or social isolation (a form of trauma).
Maybe the 50th reaction he'll drop the "first time reacting to rock music"
Vyziks subscribe you’ll love it I promise
@@slayjonez5697 been subscribed longer than you lol
So I have watched a few of your videos today and I like how you react to music that is outside your norm. You have a deep appreciation for music of all kinds. Good music is good music. So it's your love for music that has made me click the subscribe
I love your reactions!! 🖤
I'll never forget the first time I listened to Hybrid Theory from start to finish, what a perfect album
Long Live Chester the King of 2000's rock
your honestly the best reaction Chanel
Love the videos man keep it up
"One step closer"

React to “Somewhere I Belong” by Linkin Park.
I had the same reaction the first time I listened to this song. Love it!!! RIP Chester.. you're missed! 😭
Thank you for posting these videos. It’s now almost level 10 (Oct) of Jumanji lol... but this brought some laughs and smiles into my home. I’m a new mom trying to figure out this hell we are all enduring, so I am very grateful for finding you! Keep making us all smile, and God bless! :)
And to Chester of Linkin Park... RIP :(
Linkin Park - From the Inside
Linkin Park - What I’ve Done
Two of my absolute favorite LP songs of all time.
I listen to From The Inside all the damn time
Hahaha his face at 1:42. He wasn't ready 😂
It's 20.38 here in the UK, you have just set the tone for my evening after a tough day in the world of a substance misuse recovery worker! Thank you
Wooooow! That was dope reaction man!!!
Dude you’d love “Wretches and Kings” by Linkin Park
“The little things give you away”, it’s about Hurricane Katrina, and indifference. It will make any person feel. It’s a must listen for lyrical truth.
As well as “Hands Held High”, which is about how we as a nation can often plainly see and feel a blatant lack of care and attention from those in power.
“Turn my Mic up louder I got to say something, lightweights steppin aside when we come in...”
I gotta tell you... as a dude that writes song lyrics?
"Against my will I stand beside my own reflection" is one of my favorite lines of ALL TIME! Its the kinda thing I WISH I would have thought to put on paper!
I freaking love the F note to F# note in the first two chords of the chorus in this song. I don't know how it does it, but it adds a sort of inevitable hopelessness to the sound.
We will know LB has really given in to the metal when he's no longer afraid of turning it up, but just embraces it when the drop hits.
Layedbak: 86th reaction to rock music
Title: FIRST REACTION TO ROCK MUSIC
This song like especially its beat or tune is legendary come on,and just try listening to the chorus deeply its just a masterpiece,the chorus literally makes me feel ALIVE
Rip Chester 💖
Because you like LP I subbed 😃 one of my All time Fav bands. RIP Chester a true talent!
As someone who always sought out the approval of others, I have always related to this song. It's crushing living your life by how others dictate it. They want you to act a certain way, so you do, they want you to draw a specific thing so you do, they want you to dress in the style they want you in and you do it because you don't want to be a dissapointment to them. And we keep doing it until we lose sight of who we really are.
I always thought LP covered a lot of teen anxieties and social pressures in their music. This one I think means that you put up an act until you don't even know who you are anymore..
