LINKIN PARK - Breaking the Habit - (Acoustic cover) by Jonathan Young

[@CalebHyles]

This is one of the most impactful covers you've ever made, Jon. Paints the whole song in an entirely new light.

[@cozykitten9690]

Caleb Hyles I agree, it gives the song a whole new meaning, and at the same time it underlines the lyrics perfectly.

[@Lunalocket]

It touched me too I wish i could sing in this exact way so that i can properly express to people too how difficult it is living with addiction.

[@davidparkes7741]

Caleb Hyles Agreed 100%.

[@babylyn3094]

It so sad.. You should do your own version of this Caleb :)

[@LyviannaXIV]

Both of you each performed a great cover. I love your tributes to Chester so much

[@Mogyee95]

I was skeptic when I saw the title, because this song is one of the most powerful tracks from Linkin Park, especially from Chester. It has a huge meaning behind the lines, there is a whole story, a broken, hopeless story that slowly killed a beautiful soul. I've always thought that no one can ever sing it like Chester, and no one ever should, because it's his song, his stroy, his pain. And I was kind of right, no one will ever sing the way he did, but it is alright. The original was strong, it hurt hurt hurt on so many levels, the way Chester was screaming and barely even breathing through the lines, the way he sang faster and faster with every word represented his angry and hopeless depression, the fight he couldn't win against his own broken soul, and those true feelings made this song legendary. Your version is totally different, and thank God it is. It is calmer, it has strength in it on so many levels, it has the determination and hope of a person who decided to get up and turn into the light again. It doesn't have the pain the song carried with Chester, but it has the will of fight, and it was everything. Thank you very much for this beautiful masterpiece. This is how his memory should go on. This is how we heal.

[@JRJLPU]

Mogyee95 Well written!

[@infinite5imal]

Mogyee95 I'm not kidding, I was not crying until I read yout comment

[@7neochan]

Mogyee95 couldn't have said it better myself, I would literally scream/sing this in my room during my darkest times as a teen, it really pulled me through it, my heart goes out to the wonderful man who wrote this, Rest In Peace Chester, we'll manage on our own now!

[@t-kicker26]

Mogyee95 Like the commenters above me, I didn't start crying until I read this. Safe to say, my sentiments exactly

[@kageyamatobio1863]

Mogyee95 this is so true. My heart's still sore from his death, i cant help but feel like i took Chester for granted when he was with us. It didnt even cross my mind that he might not have been okay. I continued to hurt myself when he was singing and his words were curing my sickness, but I kept hurting myself. I feel like a dirty scumbag who's betrayed him. But maybe this is how we should heal.

[@greenshadow622]

3 years later, I'm still listening to this song, and I will find it hard to believe that Chester's really gone. Such an amazing cover of such an amazing song.

[@capibaradeluxe9193]

There are at least 622 other green shadows? Impresive.

[@jaredhammonds8255]

[@ECopas]

It breaks my heart listening back to Linkin Park - Chester was literally screaming for help the entire time

[@worldwarwitt2760]

It was like all of Chester's songs were one long cry for help.

[@sereneprincess4940]

We’re coming up on 5 years, & I still get a little choked up when I drive across the same spot in the road where I was when I heard the news. I don’t know when/if there will come a time when his music won’t hurt to hear.

[@kristinabali7341]

Today it's 4 years since Chester left this land of the living but he'll always live in our hearts 🖤 This cover is a beautiful tribute to him...

[@antheathetiefling8581]

Its videos like this that make me wish that KZbin had a love button. This is simply awesome.

[@pietandersen6120]

Luci Harvey Yes but love should be a serious thing, so you only get one "love" for every ten videos you like.

Every cover I'm hearing recently of all of the Linkin Park songs, each one is moving, and meaningful. But yours, similarly to Caleb's, is truly bringing tears to the eyes. Changing the song in such a way to bring on a whole new tone and meaning that perfectly embodies the reasons for the covers. Thank you for this, it is truly perfect.

[@goldosprey]

I know right? Its an extremely fitting tribute cover. It sounds like this should have been played at his funeral.

[@Nikhil89457]

[@shimmyking4]

normally i tend to avoid acoustic covers of songs, especially when the original is a lot more fast paced, and i'm not saying this as a detriment to Jonathan it's just they were never really a thing for me. i finally listened to this on a whim because i needed something to listen to i believe that i now thoroughly regret not listening to this sooner

[@RicardoD957]

Don't regret sir, you're here now.

[@bravekingshishio]

Bless you, man. And bless Chester; Linkin Park was a huge part in getting so many, myself included, through their liwest points. He got so much hate and flak he did not deserve. Thank you for such a great tribute. Going acoustic added a whole new raw edge. Chester would be proud to inspire someone so talented.

[@XxDavhieVanityFanXx]

Christian Jules exactly!

[@dermenschnr5221]

Don't get me wrong. Chester was a very good singer and i had a past with him myself but the the most "hate" (nowadays everything is called hate. No criticism exist just hate....) he recieved was deseverd.

[@jackson1165]

why freaking bless him he committed suicide he ain't going to heaven that's a huge sin

[@guywithabeard9389]

Stfu. He did this hes not going to heaven he did that hes not going to heaven! Everybody sins no matter what it is! You dont know what was in his mind when he died! So dont judge and say hes not going to heaven! Hes in a better place now thats all that matters

[@risingfalcon]

@LegoLeggo_rblx you answered your own question. we should ask for him to be blessed *because* he committed suicide, and pray for the repose of his soul. God is merciful, and judgmental people like yourself who give religion a bad name need to remember that and reconsider your way of thinking.

[@chelseaj3170]

You have honoured Chester and your voice is a gift

[@PentagramsinNightSky666]

Honestly so genuinely beautiful. The original catches the chaos of emotions, the panic he feels in what he’s about to do. This version sounds so... content. Sounds like they accepted their fate and they’re just content with what’s going to happen. Honestly gives completely new meaning to the original song. One shows the chaos and one shows the calm before the storm. I love it. Either way, brought me to tears. 10/10.

[@myorrin1018]

Well. This wrecked me. Catch ya again when I'm not attempting to sing along through tears on the twelfth replay. Thanks.

[@chazhartwayne6493]

I've been waiting for this. Beautiful tribute Jonathan. Chester would be proud.

[@ExatedWarrior]

Beautifully done. The greatness of the original was that it spoke Chester's true struggle and emotions. It was personal and was something only he could convey and no one else could. Instead of trying to mimic the struggle in the song you sung it your own way. It sounds like you're mourning a loss than trying to overcome a struggle which is what is truly comming from the heart when you sing it. To you it is not the struggle that went on to the end of Chester's life, it's the echo of an inspiration to you that has now passed. You made this version your own and it's stands better for it.

[@JosephUsher]

It's just a song.

[@tripleoo0]

No song is just a song. Everyone has a story.

[@enwarrior8163]

TK481 I agree. I always think that music and songs allow us to convey emotion in a much more powerful way than talking does.

[@TheHated0ne]

+Joseph Usher you can say that about everything "it's just depression" "it's just a book" "it's just pain" "it's just food" but that's not true. It's not just a song. It's way more.

[@kylegamble5269]

[@aduts1177]

Who reported my comment?truth is hard to consume,huh?

[@wahhbajack]

I cannot get through any cover or any song of theirs without crying anymore. When I listened to them in middle and high school I was just some edgy kid who thought my life sucked. Now, just as I got back into them as someone with GAD and depression, their lyrics really meant something to me now that he's gone, the lyrics speak to me on a whole new level. Cause when someone who helps us through so much loses his battle, what do we do...?

[@TrueDiesil]

We keep fighting, because that is what he would have wanted of us. Stay strong. You can do it.

[@1ADonut]

TrueDiesil Chester hated black people.

[@TrueDiesil]

Official Squad Channel sources? I can't find anything. So as far as I know, Chester was a fantastic person who dealt with an extreme mental war, and positively influenced a generation, and countless others. If you're being a troll, it's incredibly disrespectful and you should re-evaluate your life choices, cause it's just sad.

[@TrueDiesil]

[@zackmarkham4240]

I was recently reminded of one of my old friends. The one friend I couldn't help. The one friend I lost to suicide. I can usually tell when my friends are depressed. I couldn't tell with her. My friends just, without me saying anything, would come to me with suicidal thoughts, I'd always talk them down. She didn't come to me. The morning after the last day of Sophomore year, 2008. I woke to a text of her smiling face saying 'I always loved you'. I immediately called her, her mom answered, she did the unthinkable just a few minutes after that text. Her mom and dad were out on a date at the time. I found out I was the last person she ever contacted. I guess I subconsciously pushed that memory down deeper and deeper. Turns out, this was her favorite song. Maybe it was a sign? I don't know. I had a BUNCH of friends who were never suicidal or even depressed who loved this song and even had Linkin Park as their favorite band forever. I think I've played this song on youtube and my phone about 50 times since that memory was dredged up this past Monday(currently end of Wednesday). I reached out to the person who wrote a note to a youtuber, who read it aloud on his community stream Monday night. He had a similar experience. I related mine to him and the other one I have that relates to the OTHER part of his in his letter. We're friends now and I thanked him for bringing up a part of my history I don't know why I'd ever want to forget. Now, I thank you for reinforcing my vehemently strong personal push through depression, suicidal thoughts, and my efforts to help those around me. I'm no professional, but I've always been a shoulder and supporter for friends. Thank you!

[@amberlee.nycole.perrine8150]

I am so sorry about your friend. I know that she is in a better place now. She is smiling at you from up there and she still loves you. Just know that she isn't in pain anymore.

[@zackmarkham4240]

@@amberlee.nycole.perrine8150 I know. I miss her, but she's free now. Thank you. I recently had another loss in my life, July 5th of last year. Well, July 4th, but no one knew until the morning of the 5th. My 12 year old niece had committed suicide. My family won't be celebrating our nation's Independence Day as normal, if at all, for a while. In the last 10 years it's just been blow, after blow, after blow. But, good things have come, too. Finally getting a pet I've always wanted, a Leopard gecko. Getting over my ex, finding 'me' without someone in my life, accepting my bisexual side, getting my first boyfriend, and coming out to my family. Adopting a leopard gecko from a couple friends, and currently going through work to raise him back to health. But along the way, I've lost my father, an uncle, my sister-in-law, and one of my nieces. Life comes with ups and downs, some downs worse than others. But, I have stayed positive. Living for those I've lost before their time.

[@VariaSweetGuardian]

I'm so sorry to hear that dude, If ever need someone to talk to, I'd be more than happy to talk. I have friends who have told me that because of me and a couple of their other friends, they won't kill themselves.

I LOVE this cover. This is a perfect example of something i realized recently as i started listening to more Linkin Park songs: the faster songs are usually heavier than the slower/more emotional ones. Songs like this, Bleed it out, and One step closer hide the heavy meaning behind the fast paced intensity of the song itself and to hear that be brought to the forefront of the song...it's incredible

[@torelethain3848]

[@davidbare1749]

Allie Marie - I may be nine months late, but your story is the same as mine. When I first heard the song in high school, it was an anthem for the general crappiness that everyone feels as a teenager.

[@kristofgriffin384]

I was expecting a metal cover of this song, but I was incredibly surprised by this cover. While I don't consider it as good as the original, you took the song on a different direction that doesn't stray away from its real meaning. Call me a hipster, but I love Nickelback's music, particularly songs like: "Far Away"; "If Everyone Cared"; "When We Stand Together". The "country"-style music helps to give the songs more meaning, and sound more powerful. It wouldn't have been as powerful if they used hard rock. It's the same here. Your voice is also amazing; it sounds like a man crying/screaming for help from the deepest pits of the abyss, while being torn apart by the demons he created. I will always the love original more, but this version did something different with it and still kept the meaning and soul of the song. Rest in Peace, Chester Bennington.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

[@aeriox9916]

Black Cypher the irony is that as far as I remember when I read some info about them in the past (I might be wrong ofc) - their band name originally WAS Lincoln Park, due to where it all began, but they had to change it (I believe due to trademark reasons or another band with the same name) and so Linkin Park came to life

[@MrKaffeGrums]

Their original name was Hybrid Theory, just as their full album. I don't know the reasoning behind changing the name, but they did it around the same time Hybrid Theory was released.

It is nice that you went acoustic to this song. It gave me so much feels from hearing it. It fits the situation and it really feels that you wanted to show your respect to Linkin Park and I am grateful for that. I am an avid fan of Linkin Park and thank you for playing this song. You are awesome as always, I hope you continue creating videos~

[@JosephUsher]

Jenine Palisoc What are "feels"?

[@222stephie]

The emotions came after seeing this. It was such a lovely tribute and touching cover. R.I.P. Chester :'(

[@kurtpereira9857]

There’s only one word to describe this, and it’s beautiful 😢

[@unclebozo9845]

I really want to hear you do "The Messenger", one of Linkin Park's most underrated songs ever.

[@IatepotatOS]

As somebody who uses that song as my mantra in life I 100% agree. If this cover is able to make me cry then The Messenger might just break me down completely

[@CatLuvr69]

Wow.. One of my favorite Linkin Park songs. Never thought it sound so good as an acoustic but you did really good on this. Like one of the other commenters on here said, you took this song and made it your own with this cover.

[@Intr0vertical]

Please do a cover of Infinite's theme from Sonic Forces or Vs Villainous Form from Xenoverse 2!

[@godofedge2865]

Rip.....

[@Sierra-ms5ud]

Three years... God, it feels like longer. I remember when I first found out; I was just hanging out with my brother and playing some video games and all of a sudden my mom started crying uncontrollably. She'd found a news article online about how Chester was gone, and at first I thought it was just some joke being played by journalists. I still wish that was the case... It was a long time before anyone in my house listened to Linkin Park, almost a year and a half. And at first it was hard, finding the songs that wouldn't make me cry; but over time it's gotten easier. There's only a handful now that do it, Numb, Leave Out All The Rest, and Breaking The Habit are the main ones. And almost every time I listen to a cover or the original of this, I have to hold back the tears. Jonathan did an amazing job with this, I say along the entire time, even when tears started flowing, and I'm glad, because it personally shows how well of a job he did putting the right emotions into the song. Chester would be proud, I firmly believe that. Rest In Piece, Chester

Memories consume like opening the wound I'm picking me apart again You all assume I'm safe here in my room Unless I try to start again I don't want to be the one the battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate And say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I know it's not alright So I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight Clutching my cure I tightly lock the door I try to catch my breath again I hurt much more than any time before I have no options left again I don't want to be the one the battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate And say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight I'll paint it on the walls 'Cause I'm the one at fault I'll never fight again And this is how it ends I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream But now I have some clarity to show you what I mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate And say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight I'm breaking the habit (tonight)

[@BrisMetalChic29]

Damn dust in my eyes! Such raw emotion,. Thank you Jonathan. Long time LP fan, it’s just so hard to listen to any of their songs now, but I do because they helped me through so much, if only we could’ve helped him back.

[@cozzykoto2760]

CRIES!!! MY CHILDHOOD. RIP CHESTER WE WILL MISS YOU!!

[@themondrage]

Great. For a long time I haven't heard the right covers for this song. The overwhelming majority of singers, bands etc. just sing this one without understanding what it is really about and how deep it is. Thank you, Jonathan.

[@dramaends]

I cant breathe! Oh god this is great. Please, anyone who reads this, if you are in that place, reach out. Find someone to talk to. Get help. You are NOT alone.

[@robbywilson1083]

Between this and Caleb's cover of Numb i am in TEARS. They are both so beautiful! Good work both of you!

[@Mothianna]

That was really, really beautiful, Jon. Thank you very much for everything you're doing for us. R.I.P. Chester.

[@VasilizaxXx]

I felt my heart litteraly break as I sat down to listen to this. I love your voice and to combine this version of this song with how you performed it... You're great man, this was great. Thank you for making this.

[@joaovitorrossi6149]

Fullmetal Alchemist "Riraito"/"Rewrite"

[@lonewolf202]

joao vitor rossi FMA brothers , that would be a fascinating covee

[@shawn5344]

This is quite honestly the best cover i’ve ever heard! I’m not one to really care for covers of classics but this, is amazingly and done in with soul! Not many people can cover such a classic like this. I’ve tried my hand at covering My December, Papercut and With You. I sound rather “ok” without studio equipment, but this...takes the cake and the heart in the lyrics, is very impactful! Bravo! Shared to facebook and sent to a few a friends that need to hear this song!

[@karolinaaa6661]

oh God, this is awesome...

[@articmayoman]

This is prob the best cover I have ever heard + the best tribute

[@blackgod4305]

R.I.P Chester...

[@TrevorT6]

Omg this is fantastic. Good move making it acoustic.Powerful stuff man

[@Mmannk]

Once again, you continue to amaze us with your covers. This song shed an entirely new light on the lyrics for me, and it means much more to me now (it already meant a lot). I'm also just going to say this: the fact that he didn't add anything other than the song (sound-wise) is such a simple, small gesture that added another pang of feels to it

[@benwright5827]

I'd love the chord progression of this.

[@HumbleWolves]

Ben Wright Makes two of us.

[@Swishyhead]

And the layered harmony in the second verse!

[@GingerNinja0424]

I would too. I think the timing is standard, but I haven't gained the ear to tell yet

[@ritvikpandey2609]

I think its starting from Bm

[@jmeister7482]

R.I.P. Chester of Linkin Park. You will be Missed

[@DarkForce0017]

Absolutely loved this cover you did, Jon! It brought tears to my eyes with how beautiful it is, and how much emotion is packed into every word. Even now, I'm still greatly saddened by the passing of Chester Bennington. I hope his soul has found the peace it deserves...😥

[@biocronics]

Me: This seems like a good thing to watch whilst working Also me: Stuck here with my jaw dropped. This is amazing

[@heavymetalgent]

This cover is something that needs to be heard by all. The picture you have painted, Jonathan, just by merely singing an playing an iconic song in a different way opens the message of the song wide open for those who don't understand. Thank you.

[@DiwatWard]

You just got a new subscriber.

[@DragonLike-vs9rb]

Now I'm sad

[@andycasady1537]

5 year anniversary few days late but holy crap. still a banger

[@bigron929]

this song... this cover... this just speaks to me in a vary powerful way that hurts but gives hope at the same time

[@nofx1443]

Beautiful tribute for the legend Chester .. Rest In Peace

[@PeterWhittam]

Dude has to make Breaking Benjamin covers. Voice goes perfectly.

[@magosexplorator8145]

beautiful tribute to a beautiful man who effected countless people with his music. thank you

[@nicholasnogales465]

When playing both The Last of Us 1 and 2. I kept hearing this version Breaking the Habit from Linkin Park and Nothing Else Matters from Metallica. I don’t care about how much people hate the second game I still love them both.

[@SlytherinReader]

Chester effected so many lives with his music. Ty for covering so many of their songs.

[@anmlnrd12]

I fell for Linkin Park thanks to Chester. Linkin Park was the only band me and my whole family could agree we liked, I had a cat I named "Linkin" and the fact that Chester was also from Arizona gave me some hope that I could make it some day as well. I'm gonna miss him

[@tag6690]

A beautiful tribute! Is there enny tabs or chord for your cover? I would really like to learned to play this cover...

[@cheesecakelover3540]

I feel like crying omg..

[@evilmandrake]

I may never get over this. Such a powerful cover that really helped me through the loss of one of the greatest singers.
