I'm sure we can't step away like nothing happens when we find out that one of those whom we've used to listen to his music passes away, especially if we've grown up with their music. I personally felt broken for a while when I found that Chester Bennington committed a suicide because his music was closer to me than my own family or any friends at that time..
Here's my favourite one from them which means more than words can say.
I like this song...I actually rather like the version that features Jay-Z also, but the original is more my style. I agree with my brother, great teen-angst anthem.
I assume Chester Bennington was in the group? I didn't know he died, let along took his own life. I wonder why - It's a rather final solution I guess.
Thanks for sharing this one. A great track, powerful and quite clearly means a lot to you. I'm pleased you shared it.

Indeed. And I feel pretty honoured that I got to grow up with his music.
Yeah, he was part of the Linkin Park band, but he was suffering a lot from depressions and after he committed the suicide back in 20th July 2017 I paid more attention to the hidden messages from his songs and made me feel really bad that this man was screaming his pain and suffering through his songs for so long and nobody really noticed that, but only when it was too late..
There's so many in the same situation I think, not all famous, but some. Look at Anthony Bourdain for instance.
Last October two of my friends, husband and wife, blew their heads off together...They were depressed, had money issues. I've lost many military mates to PTSD in the same way...It always makes me angry with them that they didn't aske for help. Anyway, we deal with it and hope that we are more able to reach out should it be us in that situation. As I said, suicide is a very final option, there's no coming back from it.
I'm sad to hear that and yeah, it's definitely a huge problem more people are confronting with, and it's way more painful when you see some you knew doing it instead of asking for some help and letting you be there for them when needed. It personally gives me a strange mood making me feel like more or less I contributed to their decision, and it's hard to live with such pressure on your shoulders. That's why I try with each passing day to work more on myself and be a better version of myself..
This is smart...being the best version of ourselves, as often as possible, is all a person can ask of themselves I think.
Thank you :)
Definitely a theme song of the time for teen angst.
For sure!
ENGAGEtokens.I never seriously got into the Grunge movement. Not that I didn't listen, and love some of the the music, this one included. In truth I had found the blues and they took all my passion.
"I just want to be more like me and less like you." Pretty telling line.
I'm not really into blues but I do enjoy it when I get to hear this genre. But yeah, music is one of the things that make us different :)
Music also makes us the same! Funny how that works.
Haha, yeah, that's right!
Amazing person and artist. I love his songs too. Funny, it took me a long time to realize how some of them described my life. I guess I just didn't see it that way back then. "In the end" subtitles family time, but certainly not just mine.
Oh yeah! We are so used to love the songs before we even understand them.
I liked that kind of reminded me of Seattle days long ago.
