FIRST TIME listening to LINKIN PARK - "One More Light" EMOTIONAL REACTION

[@cpehansen21]

I've always taken this as Chester's last instruction to us as fans: care for every light, it's our responsibility to care even when no one else does

[@philipkalin1928]

Yeah, thats soooo true! Since he is gone, the LP Army isnt just a big fanbase anymore… its like we all are one big family. There is so much love and carring for each other, in every comment section, under ever LP video. Chaz would be proud…

[@RyansMom4Ever]

My 15 year old son was a huge Linkin Park; when he died by suicide in 2005, Chester and Linkin Park saved my life many times. I would listen to their music and scream the lyrics, hoping that the anguish I felt would lessen. Thank you to Chester and Linkin Park for saving this bereaved mother's life with your music.

This music video was made after Chester died, it was made from thousands of fan videos that the band asked to be submitted to create this video, all made out of love from the fans for him. It is a perfect tribute to his legacy and how much he meant to so many people even though he will never know this...

[@chrisklema9992]

This video is a brilliant tribute to Chester and I'm bawling through every frame, but you also owe it to yourself to see their live version that they tributed to Chris Cornel. Its even more emotional than you could imagine, being shortly after the passing of Chester's friend and prior to his own passing. RIP Chester, Chris and all the beautiful souls that left us too soon. Let us all try to be the positivity that helps keep other lights from going out.

[@Love_Hope_Faith]

THANKYOU SO✝️😭💔😭 Beautifully Said

[@LobbeWOW]

Not gonna lie, first time i heard this track i only made it through the first chorus and had to step away, came back to it a few days later and listened to the rest of it. It's a beautiful bitter sweet song, and if you aren't ready for it then it'll knock you down, but also pick right back up on your feet. Very therapeutic too.

[@creg7215]

I don't think I'm ever going to be able to listen to this song without crying. I saw him in concert a few weeks before he passed, it was the best day of my life. It really is true what people say, he helped them through their darkest times. I will forever be grateful for this band, I don't think I'd still be here without them. R.I.P Chester, we love you ❤

Yet we couldnt do the same for him. Rest easy Chester, I hope you found your peace. You will always be in our hearts

[@theironicmuffin6635]

My son is called Chester and my first was always going to be called that even before Chesters passing, he has inspired me throughout my life since I can remember! My first boy was born on the 21st of july which is the day after his anniversary but I'm from the UK and the time difference would of made his death on the 21st in the UK. He was even 8 days late which is my favourite number and the first number my son ever said was 8, he couldn't stop saying it! To anyone else out there who is struggling please reach out, it doesn't matter who you reach out to but please get the help you need! No one should ever fight mental health alone, we have to stick together like how linkin parks song bought their amazing fan base behind them

[@ShawnsLoop]

For yourself, you have to watch the live version of this song that Chester sang on Jimmy Kimmel. While the song was originally about losing a friend to cancer, Chester dedicated the song to Chris Cornell when he committed suicide. Chester and Chris were incredibly close and the loss hit him extremely hard. And sadly, Chester committed suicide only a month later, in the exact same manner that Chris had. A tragic loss for their families, and for the world at large. But the live performance is raw. Chester breaks down part way through. But the big difference is the second bridge. On the studio version, or the version you reacted too, the scream of "I DO!!!!" is low in the mix. Most people don't even notice it. But in the live version, Chester belts it, screaming at the top of his lungs, and the pain and anger and longing in his voice for his lost friend, shatters my heart every time I hear it. It's probably the most moving musical moment I've ever seen in all my years. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJfYq3mIqKpnp7c

[@nefilimlean9087]

The video of the live recital where he dedicates it to his best friend Chris Cornel, may he also rest in passing, is so emotional because he sings it completely from the heart. I've known Linkin Park practically since their first album. I think the first song with which I felt identified was "A Place for My Head"

[@Werewolf914]

I grew up on Linkin Park pretty much since I was a baby, and around the time I was 12 and starting to get depressed not really wanting to live anymore I remember listening to Linkin Park and for whatever reason I hadn't paid much attention to the lyrics before but I remember watching lyric videos one day and just feeling like I wasn't alone like I wasn't some kind of freak for not wanting to keep on going and with every song they'd give me the hope to go on knowing if they can keep on fighting then just maybe so could I?

[@HeloWarLord]

The live version is the best, him screaming "I DO" with so much passion. Chester is/was absolutely phenomenal. They are my band I listen to regularly.

[@danielleelizaharpz]

As someone who has been a fan of Linkin Park since the very beginning this video makes me smile and cry all at the same time xo I smile because of how much I love Chester and the joy he brought me but then I’m shattered all over again reminded he’s not with us . I will forever do what I can to make Chester proud .. we can always take care of our people and ourselves ! Forever will be a proud linkin park fan and keep Chester’s legacy alive xo

[@Meselyn]

The day Chester died I was inconsolable. Just didn’t know what to do with myself. So I retreated into the music on my phone, and I put it on shuffle. And this song came on about 3 or 4 songs in. And I finally lost it and started bawling my eyes out like I hadn’t done since family members funerals. This song is incredible

[@jasonthomsenvo8957]

Really appreciate your honesty and true emotions in your video. I’ve heard this song so many times and it hits me in different ways depending on my mood. I, too, have lost loved ones at this time of the year and I feel the same way- it feels like I am being heard. RIP Chester.

This one and Ren's "Suicide" have done a lot of heavy lifting for me and my mortality. They are among a handful of anchors that have kept me from taking my final steps. But, the first 'one song' from LP that got me was "Iridescent" off of A Thousand Suns. I'd been listening to them from their first break out, but never quite got it until my own depression came on. On that note, you should also check out Mike's solo piece "What The Words Meant", written in the aftermath of Chester's passing

But I have lost both of my parents to cancer... and I can relate to the lyric about empty seats around the table... it does hit hard. And... there haven't been many famous people who I've cried/mourned the loss of... Robin Williams... Chester Bennington. Two souls who have left the world worse off with their departure. I tear up every time I hear this song. Absolutely beautiful... RIP Chester. We miss you brother.

Just 3 days before 2024, the first Brazilian KZbinr I've followed for 13 years passed away in the exact same way as Chester, after a massive cancelation campaign against him. He was also a huge Linkin Park fan and was involved in anti-suicide mental health campaigns. His passing is even more heartbreaking because of this context. I just can't listen to this song anymore without crying my eyes out. It feels like in this battle, depression is winning big time.

[@b3p15]

i’ve come to notice that most people don’t notice a small, but very important line in this song. when he says, “In the kitchen. One more chair than you need”, to me at least, hints that while someone is setting the table for their family, they go based off of instinct and set up a seat for someone who has presumably ended their own life. hence the one more chair than you need

[@alexst-laurent25]

For me, other than "One More Light," I would say "Not Alone" and "The Messenger" are quite remarkable songs that hold every reason to be replayed and appreciated each time. "A Place For My Head" and "Easier to Run" I find are so symmetrical to certain obstacles, only thing I can say is that I'm glad those songs exist

[@matthewgoodA1206]

Knowing how touching and beautiful this song is, I tried to play it for someone once. But they actually couldn’t listen to it. They turned it off. Because they lost a sibling to cancer. And it hit their heart too hard.

Chester Bennington’s and Tim Bergling (Avicii)’s death affected me sm. The saddest part is, in the same year too, not even a year apart. They were both struggling sm. They were the only thing getting me through when I was 12 until now. My best friend committed suicide at 13 (I was still 12) and I was struggling majorly ever since. The only reason I didn’t jump off a bridge when I ran away for 5 hours was because an Avicii song came on, specifically ‘Hey Brother’ and the one that came out after that was ‘Somewhere I Belong’ by Linkin Park.

[@Mike_H76]

You are loved Lilly! This came out 10 years after my big brother took his life and the song had me pouring... again 2 years ago when a best friend for 30+ years took her life, yet I went almost immediately to this song.

For me, the song was "Numb"! Our hopes, dreams and ambitions are so centered around the people whose opinions are so valued about ourselves : our parents!!! As children, we view these people almost god-like, and we spend a lifetime trying to prove our lives and self-worth meets their standards and approval. Yet, so often, our parents have had their own failings in life, and those failures get pushed into our goals in life. They try to live vicariously through what is suppose to be our youth, and we end up failing to meet each others' expectations!!! Our dreams should be our dreams, and our parents' dreams should be their.

[@DBLCreations]

I'm just happy that this "taboo" around mental health/depression is now more open and much more negotiable then ever before. I've been through a lot in the past 15yrs. From having leukemia, losing my friends, relationship, work because of my disease, to being diagnosed with Graft Versus Host Disease and ending up in a wheelchair, living with pain 24/7. And honestly, it was hard but i was doing fine because my mom was always there for me. Yes, "was." She passed away 5yrs. ago after only 1yr. of retirement. She was diagnosed with cervical cancer stage 4. And i was always asking myself, what was it all for? My mom being hurt because of my illness. She took care of me and left everything aside for that. Me and my mom, we enjoyed the holidays, especially Christmas. Last year, i decided that it will be the last year i will be having a Christmas tree. It's just not the same anymore. I'm alone anyway now. I'm happy that my sister sometimes comes by. And i'm very lucky that she helps me out with my food. After my mom passed in October of 2018. A little bit more than a year. Covid came around and of course, in the summer of 2021, i was diagnosed with Covid-19. They induced me in to a coma, which i stayed in for about 2 weeks. While in coma, doctors saw that i had something on one of my hearts valve's. Which last year, they did an urgent open-heart surgery for. Anyway, music has always been my drive to keep going. It's not easy. Every day is different. But i try. I love this song a lot. I know my comment is a bit all over but my English isn't the best. Thanks for your reaction!

Even if you haven’t lost someone to suicide this song still hits hard. For the people you know are struggling that you want to be there for (and know you can’t always be there with them). And for those you’ve lost for different reasons. Anyone who has passed on, this song still has a lot of meaning as a tribute to them, especially once you get to the chorus and second verse. I lost my mom in May due to some health issues. The first time I heard this song after that, it hit me 10x harder than it ever had. Even though she wasn’t lost to suicide, I still felt it was a good tribute to her and I incorporated it into the little slideshow of pictures and memories that we shared with our friends and family that week. I love you and miss you Mom.

The song wasn't about suicide, but was something Mike wrote in memory of a friend of the band who worked at their record label for basically the whole time they were with the label, but she unexpectedly died after a very short battle with cancer. Mike felt compelled to write a song about mourning loss. Brad was actually at her funeral while Mike was writing the song. They even played the song for the other employees at the label and left everyone in tears. The song didn't become associated with suicide specifically until Chris Cornell's death. The band was supposed to play Heavy on stage that day, but they decided to play One More Light instead when they heard that Cornell died. Chester was close with him, nd he was barely able to hold his composure through the song. And then on Cornell's birthday, suicide took Chester too. So the song was about death in general, inspired by a death by illness, but later events made it seem retroactively like a song about suicide.
