[@lisaanderson2900]

I don't want them to release all of it now. There will come a day when there is nothing left. No more first hearing of Chester's voice. I can't. Give it to me slowly and let me still have those fleeting moments of feeling like he's still here. 🥺

[@plaguedoctor4519]

I feel you man 😔 originally I heard Mike said they weren't gonna release this song any time soon, probably was gonna save it for an anniversary album, but I think he was probably thinking he wouldn't be around or something by then, idk. Cause 20 years of One More Light would be.... 2037 😅

Hell yeah, Qwerty is a awesome song, can't wait!!

[@juliahill7732]

Good to know! Thanks x

[@allid6327]

Seeing him smile breaks my heart too. Its not the song that made me cry but to watch them record this in the studio and see them work together again, its like he never left,like linkin park is still together putting out new music. Even after 7 years I'm still heartbroken over his death. My opportunity to meet him and the band was taken from me 10 days before the show because thats when he did it. I cry so hard when I watch their videos because I missed out on giving them hugs and thanking them, especially Chester

[@tiboschruers2400]

This was a recording for the one more light album in 2017, but it didn't make it. It is similar to songs like "halfway right" or "Sharp edges" which were on the album.

[@Rusli1659LPSoldier]

and the last chorus in the beginning sounds similar to Battle Symphony as well.

[@americaisakillingname4416]

it's also better than most of the album lollllllll

[@sebastianjennings1159]

It feels to me like a continuation of Talking To Myself almost, which is the song before Battle Symphony, so it would stand to reason that may have been where this was intended to sit.

[@kimmers_r6]

I am literally bawling my head off, listening to this! The song totally fits what’s going on in my life right now! Funny how shit works like that with them? I miss him and them so much! But I’m so grateful they’re taking us on this journey with them as they unpack all of this and bleed it out for us and with us as well! We’re all still dealing in our own grief, loss and love! I’m just so grateful that they had cameras on them thank you guys and thank you Alex! You were the first person I thought of when I heard this song!

[@MySeptember13]

Man, I fully understand the "comforting pain" feeling - I am beyond grateful that I still get to hear stuff from the band, and yet it physically hurts. 💔And you're right about the perfection of a production this is, I'd be curious to know how involved Mike was in it. Thank you for this!

[@theearthrexden]

Of course the production is so crisp, Mike Shinoda is a genius and one of the best producers in music

[@Kellew78]

Made my heart smile and break at the same time 🖤 And when Chester walked into the room and everyone lit up, Oh My God ❤

[@mcbat94]

There are 3 moments that destroyed my heart... The starting, when Chester enters the room and all the other members smiles.. when Mike and Chester had a punch to punch... And when they had a reunion before the concert with huge smiles... Love you guys.. very much ❤❤

[@noamfogel7067]

Thank you and Love you Alex you're a good person and hope for the best for you. The song is really beautiful I miss chester so much. Linkin park is my favorite band of all time and their legacy will live forever❤

[@CaptainS0305]

You can always tell when Mike Shinoda has produced the music because everything is always so crisp and beautiful. You can hear everything from the sound effects to the guitars and every single hit on the drum kit… but nothing is ever highlighted more than Chester’s voice. Mike is more than a musical genius, he’s a human. He understands the sort of reaction that people have to Chester’s voice and his lyrics and all he ever does is help to add strength and power to it without ever covering it. Thank you guys for another song to remember Chester by.

Like I didn't expect LP to release yet another song after Chesters passing, as my kids said "Is that really Chester" it is so surreal to actually SEE HIM SING THE SONG! A hole new level from 'Lost' but so happy they realised it!!!❤ like I am that you realised this!! And I as always agree with so much your saying, it helps makes me feel like om not alone in this experience, that some one I don't know private, feels the same.way as I so❤ So thank you again for doing this! Means a lot to me!!!

[@tracytenlen9919]

So good to see you!! We miss you! ❤️

[@TheSilentTruth]

Hearing Chester's voice again is a pain we don't want to feel but need to feel. The raw emotion and power that Chester put into everything he sang, resonates within the soul. As painful as it is to hear Chester again and as confusing as it is for my brain to see him in another video. Seeing and hearing Chester again reminds me every time to just keep pushing no matter how hard life gets. He reminds me that life is fragile and should be cherished. R.I.P Chester you're forever loved and remembered.

I saw this early this morning and got chills...outside a great song and it's so nice to see video footage of chester

[@sktechcorner]

Honestly, when One More Light was released, it faced a lot of backlash from fans. I remember seeing comments criticizing it everywhere. The entire band was under fire. Now, with the tragic loss of the person who helped so many of us through his music, suddenly everyone is expressing love for tracks like "Friendly Fire." It's disappointing to witness. Nonetheless, I wish the band strength during this difficult time. Thank you for the incredible music that has meant so much to me for the past 24 years, and counting. Meeting Mike at his show in Bangkok was a highlight for me, and I hope to have the chance to meet the rest of the band someday.

[@KrawallTusse]

Its so surreal to me seeing him singing like this. Just like it has been recorded a short time back not years... Saw Mike Shinoda back in 2019 on his tour in Germany performing the album he wrote to cope with the death of his best friend and seeing them singing together in this song breaks my heart a bit. Beautiful song. Nice to see and hear him again.

[@BenRadUK]

So good to have you back on this mate, and what a way to return. I respect your venture into other content, but your connection with music is unparalleled and we all feel it with you. Thanks for being an inspiration!

[@VicHD]

I feel it's a song that reflects on the connection between Chester's fans & how hurt he felt after social media trashed the"One More Light" album. He took the negative comments really personally, fired back at the haters, and realized "we went too far" in a general sense. We all did... Looking back, fans shouldn't have been so harsh on the band over OML. 😞 RIP Chester

[@coreyz.2800]

It's the kind of pain that reminds you you're still alive to feel anything at all, and that brings with it a sense of relief and hope because it means you are not too far gone to come back again. On the topic of new music Tom MacDonald has been releasing new videos as well. The one he dropped this morning, "The Machine," is worth checking out.

[@Phone-dg8yo]

What really breaks my heart is the band's faces as they sit there listening to their friend. That hit hard.

[@sandracunha5777]

Seeing this almost feels like Chester is just hidden from the world, not dead. I couldn’t handle this music when it came how. I teared up so much that my bf was worried. LP is always there when you most need them, even when you don’t know you actually do 🖤

It's akin to being asked about life with a best friend who passed away seven years ago. It evokes a mix of pain and cherished memories, leaving you torn between gratitude for the inquiry and frustration at the resurgence of old wounds.

Fantastic reaction, Alex! I love, and completely agree with, every take you had for this video. It is gut wrenching and painful, yet comforting and uplifting, to hear Chester and Linkin Park again. This song and its lyrics could not be more appropriate for my life right now. LP has been with me when I have needed them the most, and I am eternally grateful for that.

[@danielavieten-peltzer3295]

The song is so beautiful and when I saw the video for it the first time I had to cry, it's still heartbreaking that it's not there anymore 💔😭 miss you Chester 🖤

[@MechaEvol]

I like to think he died so some of us don't, and when we start to forget that he sends us this, even thou it is new it feels old and the memories come back like a flood. This is such a blissful experience, to be alive and still experience he who is not. If we only trully die when forgotten, may he live forever.

[@naynay3710]

"A comforting type of pain." I totally get that. Listening and watching this video by Linkin Park felt exactly like that. It was wonderful to see, and Chester DID seem like he was still here. The video is so real and so "now" looking, that I had to remind myself that this was footage from years ago. It just doesn't LOOK that old, though, and the song doesn't seem dated in the least bit. I just am so happy that the guys decided to release THIS video as the official video for the song. To see the guys all working, creating together in it was incredible. I don't agree with you, Alex, about having them release everything now, though. I love that we get something now and then from them. Like @lisaanderson2900 said, there will come a day when there is nothing left, we've been given all there is to give. I'd rather keep looking forward to more. Wonderful gifts that Chester and the guys can sprinkle us with and give us joy.

This opened some fresh wounds from me and my girlfriend having to put down our 17 year old cat 4 days ago. Linkin Park is still one of my favorite bands and hearing Chester's voice is both painful and comforting at the same time. R.I.P CHESTER
