Linkin Park - One More Light REACTION!!

[@DaP84]

Yeah, coincidence. Mike and others wrote it about an old friend of the band at the Warner label, who worked with them and helped them a lot earlier in Linkin Park's career. She had recently passed from cancer. Chester geard the song and thought it was the most beautiful and sad song he'd ever heard. He even had trouble singing it in the studio. Highly recommend you to react to the Jimmy Kimmel live version of this song (if you haven't done it already). They tributed it to Chris Cornell who just passed the day before this performance. SO much emotion!

[@rinderknorpelmuhle1790]

It's actually been years and I'm still having trouble listening to the song and not being sad.

[@isabellafrancine2729]

Me too...

[@tylerdulak9030]

That "I do" haunting scream in the background with those quick montage clips gets me every time. And on Jimmy Kimmel when he sang it in tribute to Chris Cornell and fully screamed it, it's just powerful.

[@marchiolip]

You NEED to react to the live performance on Jimmy Kimmel Show, a tribute to Chris Cornell. It's just beautiful. It's perfect.

[@kylie-chan]

this one brings the tears usually the jimmy kimmel one does everytime for sure

[@Bishaps]

Absolutely agreed, this perfomance is unstoppable chills

[@LanaKratos]

definely

[@kimmers_r6]

God that scream goes straight to your bones.

[@micahcoupaud6067]

A moment of silence for Chester Bennington

[@igorhashimoto2569]

That "scream" you mentioned actually sounds like: this is my last scream and its blurry because i have no strenght anymore and have no more effect... that was the only "scream" in the entire album and he did it only once live on Chris Cornell tribute, you should check it

[@Nem01]

Chester, it's 21.06.2024 soon it will be seven years since we lost you and the world is going crazy. We miss you, brother.

[@ancatdal]

Oh, the cruel irony of this song. I think the lyrics are mostly Mike, and was written about someone at the label who passed away from cancer. They were supposed to come out and play their single Heavy at the Jimmy Kimmel show the day after Chris Cornell passed away, but instead came out and played One More Light in honour of him. It's a painful performance. Then two months later, on Chris' birthday, Chester passed, and the song for fans became about him. The band did talk about how they wrote this song to be a comfort to those who have lost someone dear, but then found themselves in that position.

[@kylie-chan]

want an even more heart breaking one check out "looking for an answer" played by mike at the celebration of life show for chester

[@jenBuruato]

😪😞🤍🤍🤍🕊🕊🕊

[@jessica.cash36]

While the band used it, along with the footage of the last time he performed it in London I believe- it was actually written by a close friend who they worked with who was fighting terminal cancer. She did pass away and that’s when they did all the vocals and tracked the music. I don’t think they realized how strong of a sentiment it would become to not only to themselves, but to their friend’s loved ones, and of course for Chris. Hearing that scream that is far back in the mix on the album live the day after they were told of Chris’ death just guts you

[@jenBuruato]

In an interview Mike said Chester took the death of his good friend Chris Cornell very hard besides we know Chester was very vocal about his depression his whole life after the abuse he endured for years from age 7 to 14 and he never told and he had said he just couldn't get past it....if you take that into account and listen to the lyrics of so many songs going way back had dark meaning. Crawling...Waiting For the End, Numb, Given Up, Lost, Heavy, so many more, Mike said years ago some of the songs were geared towards Chesters struggles and I believe this is why Chester had so much emotion because it was real pain and those screams were gut wrenching....he was definitely trying to live his life and we all wish he was still here. Rest in peace Chester we love you and miss you and it has been 6 years and it feels like yesterday.

[@lilseed503]

An know this song is a song for us an any one goin threw what he had to fight every day !!! He wanted us to feel happy while he was the last light as his time ran out ... bruh he was tellin us to shine bright as hes fading !!!!!!!

[@karentony3397]

Yep, no words. Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️

[@MrJocky82]

It's almost too hard to watch, to see him sing that, it is unbelievable what was to come. God Bless him. And I hope wherever he is, he's at peace.

[@sriver004]

This song is coincidence, but as we know clearly Chester was in a bad way leading up to his passing. So I think this song was both for their lost friend and also for Chris Cornell, but also maybe for himself. We can't know that's what it was for sure, but the songs he wrote in this album, Nobody Can Save Me, Heavy(in part), and Sharp Edges for sure make me think his mind was...going there. Even though he had lyrics of hope in there, he was struggling. His live performance of this song when Chris Cornell died on Jimmy Kimmel Live is heart wrenching. A beautiful song, one I couldn't hear for a long time after he passed.

[@FaiRoxYourWorld1]

Nobody Can Save Me was actually written by Mike in the perspective of Chester, like trying to gently tell him that he (Chester) is the only one who can save himself. But yeah, still makes it obvious he wasn't in a great mental place at the time.

[@Nem01]

Chester was always very open about his state of mind and his dark thoughts. At the end when he made the decision to do it he was at peace with himself. That's why he was laughing with his family in his last video. It is a strange thing but when you have come to terms with the fact that you're going to end yourself you fall in a sense of peace and balance with yourself because you know you won't suffer any longer.

[@kristimarriner7673]

I still can’t watch Chester’s last performance of this song. It was definitely his goodbye, imo. Absolutely heartbreaking 😔 RIP Chester❤️‍🩹🖤❤️‍🩹

[@Nem01]

I think so too. Miss him so much.

[@ThisisStephennn]

Underrated

[@MUSiC-world-20986]

Very deep song. I can't help, but cry Chester, you shine your own light up above in the sky. We'll never forget you, brother. You helped us through so many dark times, you ignited a hope in all of Us. You let us go away from pain, anxiety & depression. Even though, you died from depression, we'll never EVER forget you. Rest in Peace, bro. You deserve to be remembered

[@lilseed503]

Bruhhh he loved us his fans ... he loved his wife an kids .... but when ur that deep into depression bruh he really felt like he couldnt be here any more so he had to leave !!! R.i.p chester bruh this whole album he was sayin its to late !!! No one can save him know

[@lilseed503]

Bruh know do you understand this intire album how u where confused in the first songs .... bruh this album was ment to be cuz he was telling us good bye an we can't save him know

[@elizabethomosura7586]

I certainly cannot listen to this without shedding any tears. I love you, Ches❤

[@igorhashimoto2569]

Man, thank you, thank you and thank you for this and all other LP reactions. You've been amazing. I've seen all others vids and you are the most honest and perfectly said thoughts ever

[@rambowbizz]

Hard to hate this one.

[@121finalfantasy]

Anybody else struggling to come to terms with Chesters death ? Honestly these song have saved my life more times than I can count and now he's gone I can't describe it that light I looked for in the sky that symbolised hope is no longer there

[@rena919]

Right there with you. I cried like I was grieving a friend for a while after he passed. To this day, it's still difficult to listen to LP. Growing up with their music during difficult times just made it hit so much harder.

[@world4497]

4:40 I guess you noticed that very faint scream too? I never thought it was in the original

[@vladpuscasu8787]

This one gets me every time.😭 The video even more so.

[@Jadezgvrtk]

Everyone can related with this song but if you are a LP fan, this hurts more.

[@redd1567]

There's also the Recharged album to check out too.

[@TopazCentuallas]

[@realcoopr3]
