Ariyah - I'll See You Smiling (Chester Bennington Tribute) 

I'm certain that all the pain he has suffered here on earth, God has made up for it in happiness and love 10 folds. This is without even counting or mentioning all the great things he's done and all the positive ways he's touched and changed many ppls lives 😊 He's doin alright. Don't you worry ❤️

@@ARIYAH yeah, your right dude.

💋💕

Please don't ever lose heart. Depression is brutal. It is a very real and vicious illness and don't ever let anyone take that away from you. Chester was a beautiful soul that touched millions of people across the globe and we will forever cherish his memory and WILL see him smiling someday  Please remember that you are not alone, and there are so many ppl who value you very much so do speak to someone if you feel hopeless or can’t see a way forward. Remember that there are so many ppl that love you and want to be there for you, but you need to talk to them and always remember my words “HAD I KNOWN.. I would have stood in your doorway and held you tight and begged you to stay” Keep that head held high. Stay strong. You are beautiful and your life is valuable.

I can't wait either. I printed out a picture of him and it's in a frame and he'slooking at me with his grin on his face!!! ❤️😉😀 I miss him

@@ARIYAH HAD I KNOWN... READING THAT!!! WOW! I IMAGINED MYSELF A LOT OF TIMES STANDING IN THAT DOORWAY!!! 💔💔💔😭😭😭

KC may you never need to be in that position again. If you ever feel that way please hear my words speaking to you, pick up your phone and call someone who loves you immediately and tell them exactly what is happening. You are too special and too important to give up like that. "You are a star wrapped in skin, the light you are seeking has always been within"~Rumi 🙏🏼❤️ Ps. Keep that awesome picture of Chez grinning at you as a reminder that he needs you to take care of yourself xx

@@ARIYAH I felt what Chester went through on that day at that moment. I want to tell you more, but... You know! There will be a lot of Chester's pictures printed out ❤️🙂

❤️❤️

Losing someone we love very deeply remains with us for the rest of our lives. We carry their memory in our hearts forever and through these memories, they live on. Always live on, and honour that memory xx A

amen. its always weird to discuss because every time i had an opportunity to finally meet him and thank him for all he does, unknowingly, something always came up, and now its, well, later. but what he did will always stay with us, and I agree, we have to keep going.

❤️

Thank you darling. I appreciate your beautiful words 💋

Exactly. Lost a best friend that I have never met. I loved Chester so much and I think that everyone in comments did. My words, I love the deep lyrics 💔 This is going to be played at my funeral. I hope y'all having a great time and not as hard as Chaz 💔.

​@@ARIYAHMy favourite song❤❤❤

Beside CHRIS CORNELL😪

Oh Kirsteen, I'm truly so sorry for your loss and for having gone through such a traumatic experience. I cannot begin to imagine how hard that must have been for you and how hard it must still be from everything you've written. I hope that God will bless you with an eternal peace that replaces all your sorrows and turns your pain into happiness. Losing someone we love has the capacity to cripple us. Bless you for for finding the strength. Thank you for your appreciation of my tribute song and for your beautiful words. It's messages like these that light up my life and keep me making music for you all. Always be safe. All my love, A

@@ARIYAH Thank you xx

Kirsteen I know how hard each and every day is but you find it n your self to get through the day and I think you are one of the most strong and courageous person I’ve ever come across in my life you are the most strongest person I know and you always put others before yourself god gives you the strength to get through each day knowing that the lord loves you and is always there for you. I hope you no that am here for you day and night there was a reason that we met god will show you in time but plz remember that I’m always there for you and I love you as a big sister.stay strong ❤xxx

Thank you so much I’m so glad that God put you in my life and he has blessed me in doing so. I haven’t known you long but I feel that I’ve known you all my life. You’re so special to me and I’m not sure if you know how special you really are. You are so strong too and I know you don’t believe me but you really are. I can listen to this song and not feel down because I have you my wee sis. Love you always xxxxx❤❤❤❤❤

God bless you and mend your broken heart. Don't forget that time heals all 🙏🏼❤️

@@ARIYAH thank you for being so observant and kind. I lost myself when my dad died, I grieve him everyday and I know I will until the day I die. It was so long ago& yet it was just yesterday! The world needs more kindness these days &also to know that they matter . May God bless you and everyone else that's struggling these days. 🙏💯🇺🇸

Jen Woolf I'm so sorry about the loss of your father Jen and the pain you are still going through. Losing a parent is one of the most difficult losses we have to face in life along with the pain of losing a child. Death is unfortunately inconsolable. There are never any words of wisdom anyone can say to you that can ease the pain. The only way through it time really and the will to carry on. Your father was obviously a wonderful man and raised you to be a beautiful loving woman. Please remember that he worked hard everyday to make sure you are happy, and it would pain him right now to look down from heaven and find you in pain. It is very important for him to see you happy every single day so don't break his heart by being sad. Trust in God's judgment as hard as it is to understand it and thank him that you were blessed with such a wonderful parent, rather than a. Ralph one for a long time. Make your father proud by being happy and making the best out of the life he would have wanted for you. He will always be immortal as his picture is imprinted in your heart and in the memories which you will keep alive every time you speak of him. Don't think that by releasing yourself of that pain, that you will ever be letting him go or would loving him any less. Love and miss him in a way that you can remember him without letting the sadness take over you. It will always pinch a little but you need to be able to be strong enough to think of him without being heartbroken. That's the best kind of love and best you can do for him since he pains every time he sees you in pain. That's definitely not what he would have wished for you. Pls remember that. I think you are right about today's world. It's beginning to lack kindness and compassion and fighting to move forward has become a daily battle for most ppl but do remember that there are still plenty of wonderful ppl in the world who do so much good even if it's done in secret. Had the world been completely rid of good ppl, it would have ended by now trust me. There is so much goodness around you. Just surround yourself with positive, kind, loving and non-judgmental ppl and they will lift you up with them. Let go of the drama, release yourself of pain and make the best out of this little time you have been blessed with to enjoy a journey which you have been specifically chosen to experience. You're going to be great :-) I wish you all the happiness in the world 🙏🏼❤️

No one in this world deserves pain my darling. We pray that he is in a much happier place right now ❤️🙏🏼

🙏🏼💋

Love you xxx

amazingnothingness I'm truly sorry you're hurting. Chester's loss was definitely felt by the entire world and created a massive movement bringing awareness on a very important topic everyone has been completely oblivious to; depression kills; and and for the first time, the world started to listen, and to truly understand that mental illness is a real illness. Chester did this, and is still saving so many lives every day. He is not gone. He lives amongst us everyday in spirit.

Unfortunately, that is incorrect. Mental health is still being ignored. Not too many psychiatrists in the Pittsburgh area and not too many therapists that really give a damn. If people are walking in circles suffering, it’s because they are ashamed to talk to their loved ones or family members for fear of being judged or told to tighten your boot straps and toughen up. It’s still being treated as a stigma.

amazingnothingness , I'm not saying the system is perfect, far from actually and yes we do have a long way to go. But you stating that it is not improving is also not at all correct. Awareness and acceptance is much greater now and more importantly, many ppl are now taking mental health as a serious illness, and there was a very big movement after the passing of Chez. We still have milestones to cover obviously and I agree that there is still a massive stigma against mental health issues, but we are also progressing in many ways if even slightly; people's perceptions, government funding, in some countries companies take their employees mental health seriously, coping methods and medicine.. I'm sorry you're not finding the help you need where you are. I wish there was some sort of comfort I can give you. Depression is an illness and not a state of mind as many would try to tell you to "be more positive" or yes, "toughen up". My best advice as I've said to another commentator on this song is to get into real hard core exercising. It really does help. Even fun exercising like Zumba and dancing. After that, just when the depression starts to lift a little and you're out of the "core of the storm" start pushing yourself to slowly go and see friends again and most importantly, you must keep yourself busy. Find any hobby. Or even create one as silly as collecting stamps and going on a hunt for them or anything else that might excite you and really keep you busy so you don't have free time to think. It's hard, but there are ways to manipulate it. Eating habits are also very important. Focusing on cutting out all simple carbs and sugar products. Sleep patterns are also very important, getting enough sleep and more importantly, sleeping and waking up at similar times every day. Although I know everything I say may sound "blah" to you, I really hope you find your way and the strength and will to defeat this. Your life is so important no matter what yourself tries to tell you. Give my advice a shot. What have you got to lose? ❤️ A

@@amazingnothingness you are right about it still being ignored. When you tell somebody about the way your feeling, just watch their faces... The look goes from wtf are you saying, disgusted, unbelievable, get your shit together, go see somebody to WTF, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!!! DEPRESSION IS JUST LIKE CANCER... IT KILLS FROM THE INSIDE AND SOMETIMES THERE IS NO CURE! 😢😢😢

@@KC-fl1ek 🤗 that is exactly how they look at us. There is a good quote out now. "I would rather hear about your struggle than your obituary"

Thank you so much for your beautiful words and I apologise for my late reply. I'm really happy that you found your way and that you're feeling better, happier. I think of depression like the monster hiding under your bed and you never know when it's going to sneak out to try and get you, so you always have that subconscious fear that one day it might because you know that it's always lingering. It's important that you take steps every single day to make sure it can never come out and get you ever again. I always tell my ppl, "cardio cardio cardio", to boost that serotonin. I wish you all the best. Always be safe and happy. 💞 A

@@ARIYAH aww, you don't need to apologize, it is okay. In fact, I am glad that you did reply late cuz I had to listen to this song again. It is beatiful and touching. Thank you for the sweet wishes. We will get better, stronger and be healed over time. I hope you the same bestest wishes. Take care

Still

Hope you're OK Hakan. Please stay strong and always remember that the voice of depression is not you. It will never be you. It's an enemy trying to bring you down and you will never let anything in this world defeat you. Thank you for your beautiful words 🙏🏼❤️

@@ARIYAH Thanks for asking, that's so sweet of you ❤️ I'm bipolar and having a pretty bad depression right now. I've been bipolar for 25 years (I'm 34) so I'm aware that the darkness will go away eventually, but the disorder never will and that's bringing me down. I got my diagnosis when I was 29 so I wasn't medicated the first 20 years, my only medicine was Chester and that's why I'm here watching this. He has probably saved my life 40-50 times through the years, and he will probably do it this time as well. So once again, thank you for honoring my hero ❤️

@@Rudan23 Hi Hakan, thank you for your message and honesty. Did anyone ever tell you that bipolarity is a form of genius? It is your mind working at a super sonic speed; faster than any average person. The key to bipolarity is to keep your mind busy, so busy that you use up that excess energy and don't go to the extreme other polar, depression. Find a lot of mental hobbies, work, passions and do them. Keep the energy in your mind in check. It's kind of like someone with a high physical energy running everyday to balance out that excess. Also, in your position, exercise is a live or die situation. Cardio. Please try to find a form of cardio that you enjoy and do it every single day for an hour at least. Dancing, running, tennis, football.. anything. Try it for just one week and let me know if it changes anything for you. The key to any mental struggles is healthy eating, healthy sleeping and cardio. Get that heart working and get those endorphins pumping. And put that special mind to good use. Find your genius. I hope this helps and I truly hope that the darkness lifts now and forever. Once you know how to manage bipolarity, you master managing it forever. All the best my darling. Keep your chin up and your head held high. You're gonna be great. Love, A❤️

@@ARIYAH No, that one I hadn't heard before! But yeah, mine brain was truly amazing once upon a time but after all unmedicated hypomanias (I'm type 2) and depressions my brain is clearly not that amazing anymore. You are totally right about working out and everything else you wrote, but Bipolar ain't my only diagnosis since I also dealing with Asperger, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Morbus Crohn. Unfortunately all of them in combination leaves no energy to workout, at least not as long as I have a work to manage aswell. I have searched for that magical balance for all of my life but no matter how hard I try, I always end up in a mental breakdown. This time was a personal record with almost 3 years without any serve depression (not saying that I've been well those years) but in the end I find myself in completely darkness once again. All those failures and disappointments makes it really hard to find the motivation to get up and try once again. That hopeless feeling have almost become a depression of it's own, that sticks with me even in my hypomanic episodes. So yeah, I'm here and I'm trying my best but I'm also really close to that edge where I just give up. Thanks for your uplifting words! I appreciate it ❤️

@@Rudan23 Hi Hakan, thank you for your message. You're brain is still amazing and will always be amazing. It may be going through challenges, but that does not make it any less amazing. Remember to practice self love. Don't talk down to yourself. When the whole world is hard you, don't add to the problem by being hard on yourself. How do you expect others to be kind to you if you can't even be kind to yourself? Look, you need to understand and accept that this is your journey in life and these are a set of challenges put in your way, that you have to fight through. Why? Because there is a lesson in everything, and the sooner you understand the lesson, the easier it all becomes. And until you find that lesson and understand it, you will be stuck in the same spnning wheel of pain and questions forever. And unfortunately you're being faced with very very difficult challenges, no one can deny this, but this is your life story and you need to accept it and love it and love yourself for it, keep fighting and persevering every single day, because you're a hero and that's what hero's are made of. It's ok to feel exhausted sometimes. Life is hard so cut yourself a break. Even hero's break sometimes, but what makes them different is their refusal to stay down, and I can see a fighter in you; someone who no matter how many times life throws cabbages at, will get back up and try again. Does that not make you a warrior? Walking around wearing your battle scars with pride? Fighting that fight every single day and refusing to give up? That's you my friend. So start seeing yourself for the beautiful person that you are, because you are beautiful in all your pain and all your complexities. It's ok to lose hope sometimes, we all do. Life was never meant to be easy, but it's also a privilege to be alive that so many other dont have; a privilege so many others pray for every single day when you come to think of it. Just one more day they begg. Time. They just need more time. I know that life gets really heavy sometimes and weighs you down where you feel like you can't get up or be motivated to do anything. But hope is the most important element in life. In fact, there is no life with out hope. Once you change your perspective and begin to accept your challenges as a part of who you are and work with them instead of through them as though they were a problem, things will get easier. Life is a mind set. Look at Stephen Hawking, it was perspective that kept him alive. Try to exercise. It really does help. Cut all stimulants and depressants like drugs and alcohol even caffeine. Keep yourself in the most balanced state at all times, no ups and no down. Healthy food and healthy sleep. It really makes a difference. I hope you find the light that illuminates your path and wish you healing. I pray that things get better for you really soon. All my love, A ❤️

Sujeet Vishwakarma The first step to solving any problem is acknowledging it is actually there and you have already done that, and you are truly a hero for being brave enough to admit and talk about it. Anxiety is a tragic illness and it is more debilitating than anyone could ever imagine, but there is help out there. Don't lose hope. Please speak to your doctor. There are many ways they can help you overcome your pain and I hope to see you smiling again very soon. ❤️

Ariyah Official Music I will

James Meeker you are beautiful. Thank you 🙏🏼

Beautiful words Phoenix ❤️

Thank you darling ❤️

But fortunately life still goes on for the ones who are left behind, and we all need to learn how to love and laugh again after we lose someone. The memory of this person will live in our hearts and minds forever and laughing again doesn't mean that they have been forgotten just as dying with them doesn't mean you love them more either. It's ok to miss someone you've lost very dearly, it's ok that it continues to hurt, and it's ok to move on and find happiness. We must give ourselves the permission to go on.

Im sorry I missed your message Spirit Soldier. Thank you for your beautiul words and for your support on the song. It means the world to me. Please dont ever feel that ending your life will make anything better. Although it doesn't seem like it when you are in the worst of your depression, but your life is SO valuable. When hope feels very small, always remember that you were put here on this earth for a reason and although you might not know what this reason is right now, I promise you, one day it will all make sense, and even if it doesn't, it shouldn't even matter. You are so beautiful and much stronger than to throw yourself away. Life is a journey not many get a chance to experience. You were chosen out of all these millions of little sperms to come to this planet and to do you. So do you. Hold your head high, believe in yourself, take a deep breath and go out there and be the beautiful you that you are. Let all the bad experiences go fuck themselves because you are unbeatable and you are indistructable. Take care of yourself Soldier and keep fighting your battle until the end. Make Chester proud.

@@ARIYAH I'll try. Thanks. ❤

❤️❤️

Thank God you didn't have to. That's a very big burden to carry. Depression is a difficult disease to handle. Pray that all those who suffer to find their way through it and that one day soon we find a cure 🙏🏼😊❤️

@@ARIYAH thank you very much for your words, I appreciate it. I will remember him and educate myself in order to help others. Much peace to you. 🙏

Gloria E. That's the spirit 😊 Peace and love back to you beautiful soul ❤️🙏🏼

Thank you for your support ❤ Don't give up on life. It will never give up on you no matter how tough things can get 🙏🏻

@@ARIYAH ARIYAH Thank you for understande me. I was on koncert L.P. and it will forever stay in my memory. Forever.

@David-gv1fm It's hard to lose people who we love, even if it's someone who's an idol who we don't really know. But death is a part of life unfortunately that we need to find a way to accept, and the memory of the ones we love, will always live on in our hearts.

You're stronger than you will ever imagine. Don't ever doubt yourself no matter how hard life gets and how strong the pain takes over. You are titanium. Nothing will ever break you.

Help, I can't figure how to make this work

Thank you for your support on the song. The chords are pretty straight forward.

@@ARIYAH yes there. A piano to this
