One song from them that you really should listen to is “One More Light”. I can not listen to that song with out balling my eyes out. It reminds me that there will always be at least one person that cares. That it isn’t all hopeless. I truly miss Chester. He helped so many people.
If you want to get real emotional. Do LOST. It was an unreleased track in meteora project they finally released for its 20th anniversary. Listening to the song after his death puts you in chills
I hear what you 2 are saying and I love this channel, but to play devil’s advocate, Chester lost his war with PTSD and succumbed to suicide, so how much did it really matter. He was a guiding light to people like me and millions of others who suffered, but at the end of the day even this vocal phenom, who had such a positive way to channel his pain into something beautiful, couldn’t persevere, so how could someone like me that is ugly to the core get beyond my demons?

I know this isnt the intended message of the song but to me personally when this song came out my journey from suicide to faith was playing out. The ‘I tried so hard and didn’t even matter’ was me trying so hard to be relevant, to try hard to be something and in the end I felt nothing was going to lose it all…then the lyrics ‘I put my trust in you’ is my step of faith towards God and ‘you wouldn’t even recognize me anymore’ is my own transformation from who I was. Keep going people, this song still sings to us all.

I use to listen this song on repeat when I was 13-14. I had been struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts since 11. I had yet to tell anyone. It helped me feel like I wasn’t alone.
Heavy from Chester/LP last album.
First of all - have enjoyed the reaction, thank you! I think that 99% of people understand lyrics strictly how they means (so in this case - i’ve tried so hard and got again a failiure) - but you are discussing this from the totally opposite side. But this is the main strength of this video - I’ve just learned again that we all shoud love the process and not to be so focused on the target, because it may change in time and be completly different than we expected and as a result - we may miss the moment when we have reached it. Greetings from Poland!
Totally relatable !..
Hello, could you do a react to ‘One More Light’ by Linkin Park, please?
Bullying trauma is a hard demon to live with. A lot of us don’t survive this in the end. Love and miss you, Chester, you were so loved.
