Tribal People React to NUMB - LINKIN PARK Official Music Video

[@jckingsley]

RIP Chester. Gone too soon. One of the most amazing vocalists of our generation.

[@PenneySounds]

I should point out that the person who wrote the lyrics is not Chester, but Mike, the one playing piano in the video. He's the lyricist of the band, and he writes with an incredible level of emotional intelligence. He's also a painter, and he put that part of himself into the video as well.

I'm pretty sure this song is about chester's childhood, chester had a lot of input on much of the early work.

[@PenneySounds]

@@Darbokst Chester actually said in interviews that he was pretty mentally checked out during the production of the first two albums. He was still using a lot of substances at the time. Mike said last year that Numb was an expression of how he had felt in a relationship at one point. Usually the way they would write a song is Mike would come up with a first draft, and then he would take it to Chester and they would talk about what the words made them feel. Mike would have written it about a specific situation in his life, and then Chester would hear it and it would make him think about some completely different situation in his life that elicited the same feeling, and then they would toss ideas back and forth about how to fine-tune the words so that they focus on describing the feeling rather than the situation, so that any other person who hears it can take that feeling and apply it to whatever situation they connect it to. The idea of this kind of songwriting was to make the words relatable to whoever hears them. Unfortunately what it's done is give people room to retroactively interpret every song as being Chester talking about his depression, even though it was Mike who was expressing himself through those words.

[@ShaggyRogers1]

@@PenneySounds The sad fact is that the sad backstory is true for basically every member of the band, and also true for MANY musicians and artists as a whole. That level of creativity rarely originates from a position of happiness, but as an outlet of expression. Highly talented artists that don't have a "history" are rarer than 4 leaf clovers.

[@PenneySounds]

@@ShaggyRogers1 I don't think Mike has ever indicated that he personally has any more history of emotional trauma than the average person. I think he's just very empathetic and very emotionally intelligent, and able to express his feelings in a way that resonates with a lot of people.

[@Irisnietnodiggg99]

Mashoque's reaction was so on point! You can watch him literally FEEL the song and the meaning behind it. Beautiful. Thank you 🤍

[@adorablespore]

This made me tear up. Especially Mashoque's empathy for the girl in the video (who I once was) just.. it's something special, and proves again how music and emotions know no boundaries.

[@zaimahbegum-diamond1660]

Me too

[@Bearyboo87]

It's always fascinating to me how little these folks need in the way of information to grasp the heart of a song. Mashoque needed basically 0 prompting and understood completely the depth of isolation and despair Chester was trying to convey. And he's not wrong you can definitely save a person with even the most offhandedly kind remark. I would know I'd given up, I was going to off myself on that weekend when I got home and I was feeling pretty good. So good indeed a little bastard that ran around on the bus, I played with him had him doing "pull ups" on the hand holding bars telling him how strong he must be yadda yadda. I don't even remember the girl's name she was watching me and laughed then said "Your going to be a great dad one day!" I was stunned that one kind comment kept me alive that weekend and for years if I'm honest. I am a dad of 3 boys now and I still keep it close to my heart and thank God for that little boy and that kind girl every now and then.

[@mariamerigold]

I've just cried my eyes out to this video. I grew up listening to this song, but today was the first time I took notice of the video and the lyrics. I relate a lot with that girl in the video and Mashoque Ali Halepoto in particular really touched my heart with his reactions towards the girl. I could see him feel what she was feeling and it was incredible to know that even people from different traditions, different backgrounds and different parts of the world are capable of feeling a shared deep emotion and understanding when it comes to trauma. As a person who's own parents devalued my trauma, this is really heart warming. Thank you ❤

[@leanderdato4764]

same. (I'm still crying)

[@samuelsontraining]

Oof. Maria, what a clear and honest comment you wrote. Astute observation. I felt he was feeling her pain as he was watching. I never saw the video but I bought the cd album so seeing the videos in retrospect decades later makes it all the more fresh. 💔 Rwy'n dymuno heddwch a hapusrwydd ichi

[@reed5823]

I'm so impressed by how much they both understand what Chester wanted to convey with his song. He was severely depressed and showed his feelings through his music. I was particularly surprised when one of them said that the song was a cry for help ("he was screaming to wake up people")

[@PenneySounds]

Chester didn't write the song though

[@kotaniyumiko]

@@PenneySounds doesn't matter, his voice and singing ability is what makes this song come to life

[@PenneySounds]

@@kotaniyumiko Chester's performances were amazing, but it's really unfair to gloss over the person who wrote the song and composed the music.

[@dalehammers4425]

The man in the lighter shirt grasped the meaning and concept of the song so strongly, he fully understood her disconnect with the world around her.

[@brendaconry1402]

Their reactions here encapsulate everything I love about the people you have found for this project. Their understanding and empathy are beyond the level of many people. Dear souls. I imagine this song had a significant effect on you, too, as an engineer turned artist. Sometimes it goes the other way, too. My best friend growing up, was very creative and went to university to study art (with her parents' approval 🙂). She also enjoyed playing with numbers and took a trigonometry course "just for fun." She loved it as well. She ended up getting a degree in civil engineering. She found she could use her creativity and sense for design both in her work and her play. Teaching values and morals is important, as Mashoque says, but letting kids be their true selves is the best option. They can surprise you. Thank you for another great video.

[@Gunnahan]

6:35 ish. he says "kuddos to her" for her cutting herself the word "numb" in her arm.. what a different way to react to someone harming themselves in that way.. in our society she would be be shunned for such an action. so impressive on multiple levels.. he verbalizes his RESPECT for the person with so much power ans selfcontrol to be able to do that painful act. one of the reasons i love this channel.. because there is such a rich new world of looking at things through the "tribals" eyes.. and i dont romanticize, here. thanks again for one of your astounding vidos...

[@TRYBALS]

I always want the participant to represent their cultures more than their personal thoughts. He should've mentioned that this isn't how normally it is here and it's just my personal thought. Not being negative or anything but I just want this channel to represent how things are viewed from this side of the world.

[@Gunnahan]

@@TRYBALS we are all individuals weaved into our societies.. i simply admired the different emotional viewpoint and understanding of the self-harm depicted. and as i understand it is a cultural trait to view self-harm for a "greater good" as a strength and not a weakness.. 🙂

[@zzzz7217]

[@asukaknightmare8904]

He said that while not knowing the exact implications of it. It may have been worded differently if he did, since showing "respect" for such an act could be misunderstood as encouraging the act itself. The same way "shunning" it is not disrespect towards the person, but the wish to direct them to more productive ways of coping and betterment.

[@DrRhyhm]

Yeah but the reason he said it because he didn't know cutting yourself means being suicidal. Which may be apparent to us westerners but I guess not there.

[@Dookie-j7q]

My Golden Uncles. Precious you are. Men of wise hearts.

[@TheTripledz]

I see Mashoque got the meaning pretty quickly.. deep amount of emotional intelligence

[@H0useH0ldH4cker]

Crazy how right before Chester starts singing, the guy says "Look how perfectly God has created everything in this world." I'm not even close to religious, but damn that stood out. Rip Chester

[@JACorvin]

I’m so glad these gentlemen liked Linkin Park. They’re among my favorite bands.

[@suemukwa]

Mashoque expresses such a deep level of understanding of human nature, and isn't afraid to be vulnerable even as a man. I appreciate so much his wisdom and (the one with the turban). In my own life, I have experienced a lot of pain, and it's refreshing to see Trybals reactions bc what is shared here, is the way we should be in life, it transcends distance and culture, but their connection to each other and themselves has not been lost. I love your channel. It's such a breath of fresh air. Wishing you all good health and many blessings.

[@bradness33]

I used to be so closed minded to this stuff but I think it's so awesome to get the different perspectives of other people and cultures and it's a breath of fresh air to be honest, well done TRYBALS.

[@rob3942]

Wow i wish there were more people like you good wise kind folk in the world. Your humanity is inspiring. Bless you all

[@ancatdal]

Thank you for sharing this reaction to a wonderful song ❤ It was heartwarming to hear these sweet men speak with such acceptance and compassion.

[@Achanqaray87]

1:11 ❤ And also the words by Mashoque at the end... This was a lovely reaction to one of my favourite songs.

[@drunkrockerreaction2377]

I just have to say, I've seen many of these videos, really enjoyed them, rarely comment, if I ever have. I really like these people in your videos, so many of us hold the same views. Wish this world could be one 😪 Much love and respect 🙏 to all of you!

[@MadameCasper]

I love both of these men reacting. I've been watching a long time & 1 man I have known since the beginning but 1 is newer. Both have refreshing views and seem very kind. I wish the best for you. ❤

[@MadameCasper]

Oh and ❤ to you too, the man presenting this is great for giving us this window into their lives and showing them parts of ours

[@croatoansounds]

Really interesting hearing their interpretations just based on the visuals, super cool!

[@YY-rf9wk]

chester would have loved this❤

[@doreenbierens]

I hope that he saw this and it brought a smile to his face.

[@M4ttNet]

Wow, it's amazing how plugged in they were to the meaning of the video and the music even before understanding any lyrics. Music truly is a universal language and these struggles are universal across all cultures.

[@serpenticide_555]

I can't even get people that speak the same language as me to discuss lyrics in depth like this lol

[@fatdydnkn]

The one comment was amazing that the girl is alone and disconnected and that we should be grateful that we have friends and family. This shows how powerful music can be. No matter if you are from Europe, USA or some small tribal village, we all know what matters

[@ShankatsuForte]

LP is my favorite band so I'm super excited to see this :D

[@EvansFanily]

Damn these men are so thoughtful

[@silverbullet501]

Thank you guys so much it is one of my favorite songs 😲

[@ReflectionTool637]

"the world is just there for the circus". Wise words. We are all human, we are all the same. Be kind and try to help others is the best way to live. If you need help, reach out .....

[@RussellLambeth]

The people reacting to these videos do so in such a quick and insightful way...I absolutely love watching them react to some of these videos.

[@templegoddessjourneys]

I can see how much these men love these bands. I am so happy that they got to hear them.

[@Vvv-TLO]

I just came across ur channel today & I simply love it.. all of u are amazing.. I’ve watched 20 videos so far.. Much love❤

[@bendavies8857]

Linkin Park is a great band to get reactions from, their songs have such emotional charge and it’s great to see it pierce the barrier of language. Breaking the Habit or New Divide would both be good songs to do reactions to and I’d love to see Cha Cha’s reactions he has great insight and wisdom from his years. Great work as always keep it up!

[@Marbledesertmedia]

These men are so insightful.

[@sarahdixon1943]

I love watching your channel.

[@pchygrl17]

Fantastic reaction!!!! I love the band Linkin Park too 😊

[@renoops1120]

There is such a genuine quality to these people as they react to our wild western world. I really love how they seek out the positivity and spiritual aspect of our music and artists from a world apart. ❤

[@pscheidt]

Best reaction video on the channel. Maybe the best on the Internet.

[@jonothanclevenger3482]

"You can the whole humanity by saving one human" Awesome =>

[@кяуртіс]

These two gentlemen I always love their reactions so to the point and in depth.

[@PenneySounds]

I'm always loved the level of international appeal that Linkin Park have. I don't think many American musicians resonate quite as strongly beyond culture and language barriers the way they do.

[@skmky01]

I love watching people react to Linkin Park songs for the first time. They always seem to appreciate the music and meaning of the songs. ❤

[@marieneu264]

So much amazing insight!

[@kylec1411]

You should show them the band One ok Rock from japan. Two songs: We are (live) / Stand out, Fit in. Both very touching songs.

[@bigsarge2085]

Always an interesting song.

[@GodWearsGucci]

Such a sad sad loss 😞

[@Quake120]

Every time I watch this channel, I am blown away at just how insightful these guys are despite not being able to understand the lyrics. It reminds me of this quote from Above&Beyond ABGT250 We come from all corners of this blue planet, We come in all colors, shapes, and sizes, We believe in many different things, So it might be all too easy to think we are more divided than we actually are, With your heart and mind open, you'll realize we share much more than what divides us Just go and find that place

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thank you.

[@jeremys.9905]

I wish I could take Mashoque to a live concert. He seems to want to experience the spectacle. Anything… Tool or Iron Maiden would be pretty intense. I can’t imagine the sensory overload

[@DumaVadamee109]

Im surprized you guys havent done a reaction to sarah mclanahans angle song, its got some of the most powerful volcals of a melody, and is stil la tear jerker.

[@mdh6977]

just wanted to highlight the human experience... i think most people want to belong, while still being able to be an individual

[@coollakshman]

Listening to this band makes me want to jump in a mosh pit and go crazy! Btw seriously you need to reacto to end up dead by Nick Thurl

[@charmainlareau6452]

I think is very sweet they are worried about the girl

[@Artaimus]

I felt amused at how Muharam first said the girl is in love with a boy but upon being told the cutting is a symptom of suicidal thoughts completely changed what he was saying and 100% understood what the song was about at that point.

[@tristanpierson]

Love this channel! Would you react to ice hockey, its our national sport here in Canada and is very popular in america and europe id love to see how they react since they've probably never heard of it before

[@MadameCasper]

They should watch Linkin Park One More Light. Great meaning.

Sleep well legend. Chester forever. 🖤

[@Marnee4191]

On a side note: If many children say they want to be doctors or engineers, it's not an innate desire, it's just reflecting what the parents say. And it's really disgusting to me that so man parents push their kids into those fields that don't have an aptitude for it (and also that there are many cultures that are 100% okay with kids cheating to get their degrees). These are VERY IMPORTANT occupations where we want people who are truly qualified, not those pushed into it by their parents, despite not having the aptitude for it. And those without the aptitude cheat their way to a degree and/or are incompetent in their jobs. You are a VERY immoral person if you push your child to a degree such as this when they are not cut out for it.

[@shadowdarknos]

Seeing them react to Chesters last song would go hard.

Does anyone know what language they are speaking in these videos?

[@sunshineeddy6849]

It’s been too long for me to remember which video it was, or which languages he mentioned, but he explained once that multiple languages are used. I think he has to speak to them in two different languages, depending which one each can understand but not necessarily speak, and then I think each of them speaks in a language that Adnan can understand but not necessarily speak. None of that is helpful for you and I’m not at all sure if it’s very accurate except I do remember for sure that it’s more than one language being spoken, depending on the individual. So the channel page About section says that all participants are from Sindh, Pakistan. All languages would be languages used there.
