I grew up privileged enough to hear all of Linkin Park's music, but not enough to be given a chance to hear Mike Shinoda's earlier work. It's 2022 and I somehow decided to visit what I've missed my entire life as a young lad and this track just hits a part of my soul that makes me feel things. Hard to describe. Just hearing the voices upon voices of "just like that" gives me goosebumps.

[@Captain_Forty]

I'd love to hear this song all over again but 12 years later and i'm still playing it.

[@Phoenix-Neo]

My favorite Fort Minor song. Gets me right in the feels..

[@MaSTeRgUnS22]

Listening to this in 2020 is straight up sobering. Listen closely to all of the lyrics and think about everything going on in the world right now. Never has this song been more fitting to the times!!

[@benjaminkester3827]

[@Chris24_]

fort minor was something i REEEEEEEEAAALLLLY wish would have continued, they made one album, and received widespread critical acclaim as well as one of the biggest hits of the year. Fort minor really showed just what mike shinoda is made of, and he is one of the most talented/artistic people in the music industry. This is my favourite song off the album, can't believe it's been 10 years already.

[@styledchain]

They have a new album called "We Major" it just came out, look it up

[@Chris24_]

Dylan Betancourt wait bro, i think your mistaken, isn't that the mixtape they put in 2005?

[@styledchain]

I will always miss Linkin Park but I’ll always have this big part of their music

[@654Crossman]

I'll never forget the first time I heard this song. I was copying songs onto a CD for a vacation. I downloaded this album and took it with me. I never heard it till then, but I remember hearing this song as our flight got in the air. I remember seeing all the lights and buildings and thinking how many people are looking at us, desperate to understand what they're doing with their lives. I been on the other side since then and I always look up when I see a plane. It gives me reason to look up, every so often.

[@ddrz09]

It's these moments in our lives

[@654Crossman]

​@@ddrz09so true. Some days I still wish I was a pilot in one of said jets but then I remember that some of those pilots would give anything to be a young guy with options, again. This world is funny, like that. It feels like Hell to me, but there's a better off person that would kill to be where I'm at. It doesn't make sense to me but that's because I'm not them. Bottom line is, most people are tired of feeling so lost, destroyed, distraught, defeated, discouraged, and absolutely dehumanized. Best time of my navy career was letting homeless guys show me their talent with my guitar, only to tell me they hate their lives. Pops in my head, every time I say the same exact words.

[@mt2oo8]

Raymomd Silva Mike Shinoda is well known, but if he walked around on Boulevard only a few people would know who he is. Sad. He deserves the fame

[@myname9252]

+Raymomd Silva Here in this low iq country where Rhianna is worshipped more than god,people don't know what good music is. Listen to all the shit now that becomes a hit,compare that to about 26 years ago,if a stupid song came out,that band never made it. Now,everyone thinks it's awesome. The declination of our society,now with a loud mouth billionaire running as president,the downfall is close to it;s peak.Sorry im ranting.

[@lockandreload]

Raymomd Silva He's not "crazy" famous because he's only released one solo album, and he did it under the Fort Minor name to keep a low profile. Plus he seems like he doesn't get involved in the red carpet, Hollywood scene or anything like that. Also he's basically the de facto leader of Linkin Park...producer, vocals, guitar and keyboards, plus I'm pretty sure he writes most of the music, but he's a nice guy so the entire band gets credit. So that takes up most of his time since they are always touring. But I wish he'd make another hip-hop album though, he's crazy talented and underrated, plus he knows how to pick good collaborators like Black Thought.
