linkin park has been one of, if not my favourite artists’ as a whole since i practically had braincells, so these reactions mean so much to me as a fan of not just chester himself; but the art and legacy of that incredible band as a whole.
i’d recommend you to react to phoebe bridgers’ song “motion sickness” too. when you talked about how to actually ‘break the habit’, and said you have to kinda surrender yourself to that pain: i couldn’t help but think of a lyric from the outro of that song of hers: “i wanna know what would happen, if i surrender to the sound”
AND P.S:
this channel is amazing too!! i love your content with my whole heart. i could say… my heart supports it - pun (of course) intended. your empathetic and sensitive reactions bring a light into my grey everydays, taylor! i support the heart, i support your heart. channels like yours are such in need of, in dark times like these. you really are a beacon of light for highlighting the importance of music that advocates for feeling the pain and persevering in spite that, through catharsis. it’s not easy, but also… it shouldn’t be, and we can find light in that struggle. your work is major in the help of that.
Hi there! Would love to see you react to “To be a man mega remix” by Dax. Such an impactful song and one that helps men know they aren’t alone. Thanks!
I’m having trouble healing unseen wounds. Feeling like being in a hydraulic press. It’s so hard to feel love and trust when I have been taken so much abuse mentally
Your new little guy is a cutie. Definitely, if you can, do live performances. You for sure need to watch the One More Light ( Not the Memorial Concert ) concert. Some of the songs that are really driving, like Crawling, are even more awesome.
Can you please react to “Cemetery Drive” by My Chemical Romance?
this is why Linkin Park should have ended as a name with Chester suicide. I’m not against Emily, i just don’t think it’s cool to keep going (with the same name) without someone so influential. My favorite band of all time is Queen and I had the same measure for them, after Freddie died the remaining 3 did the live tribute and recorded a song. After that John Deacon said, i’m done, i’m out, and tRoger and Brian kept going with Queen which to me was also wrong…
The lyrics to all their songs took on a whole new meaning after Chester died…
pleasse listen to “alone in a room” by asking alexandria
super deep song and SLAYSSS
HI. Really appreciating all the great work. Good health to one and all… Please can you do review on a song by Birdie - A Team. Salaam (PEACE)
I bet 3 libras is any day now. So amped.
Two suggestions:
“Hate Me” Blue October
“Bother” Stone Sour (Corey Taylor’s other band before Slipknot)
look at KAMELOT - Liar Liar ft. Alissa White-Gluz for your next video
Hello, I looked at you, you are cool. Listen to Russian music, there are rappers, but don’t listen to the shaman. Promotions to you!
This is my all time favourite song, it was also Chester’s favourite song, and the ony one in the album that doesn’t have a heavy guitar in it so it stands out.
What you said about memories triggering and blocking your brain i felt it. I never considered the first line of the song that way. I recently broke up with my girlfriend. When i’m not thinking about it it feels fine, but when you think about a single moment, for just a second, it’s like a slippery slide, you get sucked into a downward spiral of memories that make it worse and you can’t stop. It’s actually terrifying.
I was in my early 20’s when this song came out. It was 2 o’clock in the morning, I was in my car, deciding how I wanted to give up. I had chosen, just didn’t know how to do it. As I sat deciding on the how, this song came on, and the loneliness and emptiness I felt washed away in Chester singing all the pain and anguish I felt inside. He, quite literally, saved my life that night. It broke me a lot when he gave up. Here, the person who gave me hope again had lost it, what hope did I have. It took a long time to get over that. I saw them live once in 2012ish, and was the most emotional, beautiful concert I’ve ever been to. Thank you LP
I love this, Chester’s songs really related to some of my bad days
Lately I feel like I am balancing on a a pole on the edge of an abyss. Last summer I went through a deep depression that nearly was the end of me. It takes so much every day just to try and keep my head up. And I constantly feel like any little bad thing could tip me over into the darkness. Its exhausting
My lowest point was in August when I was shopping for a rope, and I was going to find a place to end my life. My girlfriend, bless her soul, managed to intervene at the last moment. Sometimes I wonder why she’s still in my life. I put her through so much pain.
I’ve always really related to this song a lot. Linkin Park are my favorite group, they have always been there for me even when I had nothing. I hope that I can break my habit somedday. This neverending spiral of shame and self loathing that seems to run my life lately, is not what I want for the future.
I am going to therapy, but truth be told, I am finding it hard to really open up there. Right now I’m trying group therapy. And I find myself frustrated at the idea of doing the same excercises over and over, and having to hear other people’s struggles and trying to relate to that.
Might be a bit of an asshole for saying this, but I honestly can’t be bothered. When getting up every morning is a struggle I can’t really find the fucks to give about other people’s problems.
Thanks for the reaction. And for caring.
Please do “Twist” by Korn next!
I have a recommendation for a heartfelt song with lyrics going deep about battling depression. Changed My Mind by E-Dubble
