Hits me hard: New LINKIN PARK Song "Lost"

[@fabiyeah]

I heard an interview of Mike Shinoda about Lost and they discarded the song for the Meteora LP because they thought it was too similar to Numb... man, it's hard to believe that Linkin Park's "not good enough songs" would easily be the number 1 hit of 99,99% of rock bands

[@Diego105r]

I don't know how it's similar to numb but Mike is a musician, he probably knows better 😅. I'd say, for me it's similar to breaking the habit on emotional layer.

[@MandatoryFruit]

It actually feels super unique to me. Like Meteora style vocals, but the production makes me think of A Thousand Suns or Living Things. A more modern take on classic Nu Metal. Just shows how ahead of their time LP was I guess.

[@fabiyeah]

@@MandatoryFruit i have the same impression, i think that maybe they used the original vocals and instruments recording but the final production and details were introduced recently...

[@Diego105r]

@@MandatoryFruit Yeahh, it's like they thought "the're not ready for this yet" and forget about the track with next album haha

[@TeamTeddy666]

@@fabiyeah Mike said in the same interview you watched (I think) that they had even gotten as far as mixing and mastering the song back when they were still choosing the songs for the album, so I doubt they introduced much/any new sounds recently

[@jesusjimenez6755]

2:16 The way Chester delivers the lines "but im tired, i will always be afraid" especially the "but im tired" part breaks my heart. It literally sounds like he's crying his voice breaks a little. What makes it more heartbreaking is how relatable it is on a personal level. Take care of yourselves everyone! I will too!

I thought the same thing, it honestly sounds like he was about to breakdown and cry as he sang, it really is a tough listen, but it's also nice to hear his voice in something new, it's like this bittersweet feeling, and it really does tug at your emotions and heart strings, Chester was my inspiration to sing as well and it's so hard to listen to this, you can hear the pain in his voice.

[@patrickchuvala]

I think I know a way to put how we're all feeling. Hearing this song nearly 6 years after Chester passed... it's like when you lose someone you love and you would do anything just to hear their voice one more time.. this is that. This is that one last call to that person. You don't get to say what you want to say but you get to hear them (him) one last time and it hits deep.

My best friend committed suicide December 8th 2022. He was a talanted singer, and my very first guitar student. Now im lost in this memories and this song is just remembered me listening my friends old song. Its heartbreaking to hear singer you liked and used to imitate sing again even though, he is no longer with you.

[@alucardzutain6062]

Screams like the Devil, sings like an Angel. RIP Chester Bennington ♥♥♥♥♥

[@Valentina-Tina]

In addition to having an exceptional voice, Chester also lived his songs in his thoughts, and his singing is filled with strong emotions. No matter how well someone imitates his voice technically, that emotion is missing.

[@YatiAcharya]

Is this what having a time machine feels like? As soon as I listened to it I wanted to scream it all. And I will. Linkin Park has been such a huge influence on the way so many of us sing ❤️

[@MsCleverable]

As a lot of commenters have said, this feels supernatural and different to hearing any other deceased artist. His death hit me like a truck and I still bawl listening to LP. But this was like he just reached up and touched us again. I miss him so badly. #stillhurts #ripchester

[@marchrismcg]

Absolutely right best vocalist ever. In the best band ever. Chester evokes feelings like no other artist

[@jkh3959]

It just hurts me so much that he took his own life. I am actually fine with never hearing any new material from Chester and just want him to live. Yes he is/was the voice of a generation but at the end of the day he was also just a regular guy on this earth who was hurt so much that he didn’t want to live and that just breaks me. No person should be in such a dark place

[@realswobby]

I'm sure he also didn't enjoy much being treated like someone special, always put on a pedestal which is ofc understandable but also unavoidable, I mean fans love him, they will always praise him but I'm sure he just wanted to be treated like a normal person too. Since we know how horribly he felt about himself, being treated like a semi-god had to feel unnatural as well.

[@TheParaxore]

His pain was so palpable in his vocals that others instantly could connect with their music on a deep level.

[@drcarriemills8772]

Lincoln Park songs is the only reason I survived those years.

It's ironic in a way that the song is called lost because for 20 years its been a hidden demo, almost a lost song and it's just unfortunate he isn't here to see it released and unfortunately as we now listen to it we can't help but remember how he passed so the line "I'll never be alright" really is so emotional

Every vocalist has their own sound. No two people sound exactly alike. But Chester was one of a kind. Just in a different stratosphere compared to every other vocalist I've heard. Granted I'm not a big music junkie, and I'm absolutely biased. But I think it's undeniable how special this man was.

[@socialbutterfly4146]

That’s exactly how I react every time I hear his voice, signing. It just soothes my soul. It’s like no other. Never will be another Chester or Linkin Park. He is so sorely missed💔😩

[@LPdedicated]

I've been a fan since I was 12 (I'm 33 now) and to be honest I couldn't bring myself to listen to it, because I knew it would be a lot, so watching it with you in a sense made it easier. It's absolutely beautiful. His voice was unreal. Other than the sing/scream technique he also mastered to sound like he was crying in the most vulnerable parts of songs while still staying on pitch. I remember Don Gilmore, their producer on Meteora saying that he had "two or three voices inside his voice, and it's the strangest thing in the world". I met him twice (such a sweetheart and he even remembered me!) and even when he talked normally, there was something soft yet sharp and weirdly... loud about it. The most beautiful description of his singing (and talking) voice was from a fellow fan was he imagined this is what mer-people or sirens sound like above land. Ethereal and captivating.

[@shakeval]

"Broken promises they made, and how blindly I believed" makes me think about how the US government lied to everyone and sent me to Fallujah. I'm a Disabled Vet and was in a dark place til I came across the old LP songs I use to get down to so much. They helped put music back into my life and allowed me to make the best of my newest song "Leaking" on here which is dedicated to Chester and Cornell(lyric video). I would love it if any of you could give it a listen. It would mean a lot. Thank you LP for all you've done for me and everyone else here. Much love!

Minutes to Midnight was my first album and the others followed soon after. Back then I was a million miles away from realizing why this music was speaking to me so much, but I certainly knew that it did. Linkin Park was my first connection with the music world. Only gradually I realized that this intimate moment of listening and feeling is exactly what all this buzz and big stages are all about.

[@228-n6f]

It’s both nostalgically refreshing and emotionally powerful at the same time that was worth the wait and “feels.” In my opinion, one of the things Chester should be remember is he was the Ian Gillian of his generation not in terms of sounds, but in terms of trajectory. With Deep Purple and Linkin Park, neither were original members, but both of them took it to another level and they were briefly vocalists of other bands that everybody knows as well with Black Sabbath and Stone Temple Pilots respectively. Ian done one album with Sabbath on Born Again (so underrated), and Chester done one EP with High Rise.
