C. Bennington & M. Shinoda (of Linkin Park) ft. Hydroponikz - "Hardly Breathe" (HQ, 4 min)

[@7Ronaldo7Impression]

Chester's vocals are actually from the song ''Rock and Roll Could Never Hip Hop Like This Part 2'' by Handsome Boy Modelling School. Chester and Mike appeared on it, and Chester's vocals were put on this Hydroponikz song. Someone also created a track titled ''Spell It Out'', claiming it was by Fort Minor, however the vocals are from that same track.

[@DieForSomeFun]

Yes my dude get some recognition for the original song. Its such a fun track

[@psukhopompos]

The beat is also taken from that song

[@akashrana241]

I haven't listened to this song in years. The last time I was here was when I was fighting the flashbacks of my childhood abuse. I heard Chester and I always felt better. He went through sexual abuse and so did I so I didn't feel so alone. I wish I would have know that years later he would be gone. How would the kid me have reacted? How am I able to deal with it now? I am a strong person but the pain is almost unbearable. R.I.P Chester and thank you.

[@ddky2691]

now RIP LP

[@rowenchaos]

ddk y2 I still lose my shit over his death..

[@ddky2691]

Rowen Strife yes absolutely true mike said he will continue LP but i imagine how difficult it would be to continue without chester

[@serenagoddi3782]

I can relate. You're not alone.

[@kimmyfreak200]

there was obvious pain in his vocals i find a lot of his music hard to listen to especially now. Sex abuse is murder of the soul it damages but doesn't destroy the strong people. When we suffer a lot we become more empathetic for others and this compassion can overwhelm and cause major depression i totally relate to this sensitivity from horrible trauma. Music is my one escape. I force myself everyday to watch ridiculous videos or a movie sometimes youtubers can be hilarious but laughter is good medicine. Its a life long struggle dealing with this. I went through almost a 10 year rough patch where I was detached and numb and i did things I feel guilty over major neglect of others i should have been there for then I didn't come out of my room for years or go anywhere or talk to anyone. Its difficult for people like us to make new friends just being different at all and most can't handle it it scares them. I try not to let it ruin my life whats left of it and my daily joy however small it is the demons in my past belong there in the shadows they deserve no more light or recognition.

[@danielalien]

Of course it isn't the original track, and ive explained that many many times, but it doesn't mean it's fake:p It's what the olden days would be called sampling and covering.. Hydroponikz merely took out a part he liked from RAR(CNHHLT)Pt. 2 and made it longer and rapped over it. People need to stop throwing the "fake"-word everywhere.. It's not an official linkin park track, and not on chesters side project, but it will never be fake. I know it's not LP, but only Mike and Chester.. calm down...

It's not a Linkin Park song. The best Ava Chester's vocals are from Rock & Roll (Could Never Hip-Hop Like This) by Handsome Boy Modeling School. The editing and first verse are by Hydroponikz with no input from the band. It's fan made.

Now I can hardly breathe, get rid of these memories, И теперь мне тяжело дышать, не могу избавиться от этих воспоминаний, Continually haunting me, Бесконечно преследующих меня. Cant change who I've come to be, Не могу стать тем, кем был раньше. The darkness only ends as soon as you open your eyes, Только тьма кончается, как только ты открываешь глаза. And you hope to realize that hope is cloaked in disguise, Ты внушаешь себе, что надежда спряталась за маской. Again I look you in the eyes and all I see is a blur, Я снова смотрю в твои глаза, и снова не вижу в них блеска, But when I look in the mirror I can see who you were. Но в зеркале я вижу твое истинное отражение. Nothing I can say or do, Что бы я ни сказал и ни сделал, Will take away what I've been through, Не отменит того, через что я прошел. What you were is what I've come to be, Я стал тем, кем ты была. Nothing you can say to me, Что бы ты мне ни сказала, Will take away these memories, Не сотрёт эти воспоминания. What you were is what I've come to be! Я стал тем, кем ты была. The sky opens wide, to swallow me again, Небо уже готово снова поглотить меня, Once I am inside, I'm lost and can't pretend, Мгновение - и я уже там, я не могу притворяться, я потерян. These pictures in my mind, are not a part of me, А эти образы у меня в голове не часть меня, These memories hold me tight, До тех пор, пока эти воспоминания не отпустят меня, Till I can hardly breathe Я не смогу вздохнуть с облегчением. I can hardly breathe (breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe...) [x2] Едва дышу (дышу, дышу, дышу, дышу) [2x] I can hardly stop the memories.. Едва ли способен перекрыть поток воспоминаний... Nothing I can say or do, Что бы я ни сказал и ни сделал, Will take away what I've been through, Не отменит того, через что я прошел. What you were is what I've come to be, Я стал тем, кем ты была. Nothing you can say to me, Что бы ты мне ни сказала, Will take away these memories, Не сотрёт эти воспоминания. What you were is what I've come to be! Я стал тем, кем ты была. Now I can hardly breathe, И теперь я едва дышу, Get rid of these memories, Пытаясь избавиться от этих воспоминаний, Continually haunting me, Бесконечно преследующих меня. Can't change who I've come to be [x4] Не могу стать прежним собой. [4x] I can hardly breathe... Едва дышу, (I can hardly stop the memories...) (Едва ли способен перекрыть поток воспоминаний...) Now I can hardly breathe, change who I've come to be. Теперь я едва дышу, помоги мне стать тем, кем я был раньше. Nothing I can say or do, Что бы я ни сказал и ни сделал, Will take away what I've been through, Не отменит того, через что я прошел. What you were is what I've come to be, Я стал тем, кем ты была. Nothing you can say to me, Что бы ты мне ни сказала, Will take away these memories, Не сотрёт эти воспоминания. What you were is what I've come to be Я стал тем, кем ты была
