FIRST TIME HEARING | One More Light - Linkin Park (REACTION) *TEARS* 

Listening to this song now after the death of my 12 yr old grandson back in January just breaks my heart, my spirit. His passing bent my soul. Believe me I see that empty chair everyday. My deepest sympathies to everyone that has lost someone

I mean, this dude performed his own tribute song. And i still can‘t listen to this song without breaking down in tears. Chaz death… its different. It just hits different.

Mike wrote this song about a woman they all knew from the label who died of cancer. When Chester sang it for Chris Cornell It became his song because of all the emotion he put into it! And after Chester died it became his song and the whole worlds!

Ah man, I was neglected heavily as a kid. Had to go to the hospital multiple times (my teeth rotted out of my mouth because no one would clean them when I was a baby for example) and man this one girl. This one girl, through elementary school and high school showed me so much care that a 30 year old man I still stand here today, I thank her for just existing. She lost her battle to leukemia, but she won her fight for my heart and my life. Will continue living for her.

Chester had one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. I needed this today, my dog who was everything to me for the last 15yrs passed away 2days ago

I’ve always loved this song but it’s hitting hard today as we just lost one of my sons best friends to suicide a week ago and my son himself struggles and has attempted it himself in the past. A hard reminder that tomorrow is not always promised. Love to you brother!

My son showed this to me when they released it. We both sat in his room just sobbing. This is a gut wrenching song. Chester, was an impeccable human being and impacted millions of people. He is greatly missed. 😢😢😢😢😢😢 lost my brother to su1cide and I'm the one who found him. This song rips me to shreds. sending love, Rick. "Who cares when someone's time runs out, if a moment is all we are"

My precious husband laid his head down after thanking me for loving him all those years, and that’s when love becomes agony. I’m So sorry about your dad. Thank you for your channel, we can come here and say I love all of you sharing this pain. RIP Chester, you’re still amazing! Gods armor is made of those good memories.

Listened to this song after I lost my best friend to cancer a little over a year ago I cried then and even now it still brings me to tears.

I cried long with you. My son died two years ago tomorrow. Thank you for being here so I can watch this today! RIP Chester!

This song came out at the time when I got a divorce. The part that would always get me was "the reminders, pull the floor from your feet". This whole song makes me cry. And, the best way to honor your dads is to continue being an awesome kind person. Use what they taught you so you can teach the next generation of kids.

There’s never a time I hear this song that I don’t completely break down. Sending love your way ❤

A lot of us just need a hug bc we haven't had one in forever. RIP Chester. Gone but not forgotten.

This is the best reaction I’ve seen for this song. I’m so sorry for the loss of your father. I just lost mine in April. This song is so powerful! RIP Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington💔

dude. It's nice to see a genuine reaction and it's so heartfelt. I hope you are doing as well as you can be with the loss of your dad. Beautiful video (I'm sitting here crying along with you)

❤ Rip Chester ❤️ What he went through as a child is what I work in. Love to you all & never feel alone or afraid to speak out, about anything ❤

Chester and Linkin Park's music helped me through so much 💩 as a teenager. Chester was the light in our darkness. He is greatly missed 😭 Rest in Peace ❤❤

I can feel your pain, man. I was only 11 when Chester died, and since that day I feel like some part of me have just died. Like I have lost my soulmate(not in romantic way, but in friend way) I miss him so much. I freakings swear, that if heaven does really exist somewhere out there, the first person I want to see and hug is Chester. Rest in peace buddy [*]

the world is a happier place with you in it, god bless ❤

This is some true reaction that I was searching for. Not too much of speaking, and genuinely connects with the lyrics, sings with it. And listens it twice. The "reaction" says it all. Good quality, sir. The reward of life is death. That shit makes me tear up.

Linkin Park has always been my fav band. I even have Chesters flames tatted on my left arm. My dad an I used to rock out in the garage while listening to LP, while working on our project car. Few years ago. My dad ate a bullet. I can't listen to LP the same anymore. This song makes me cry like an effing baby!

Real reaction from a real person dealing with with real emotions can’t ask for much more. Much love my dude

I'm sorry for your loss dude. I think we all listen to this song for different reasons but the same reasons if that makes sense. Thankyou for your analysis and kind words and paying homage to Chester ❤

Lost my dog to cancer and had to put him down, this song was on repeat and got me through the hardest days

We all loved chester I will never forget the times when it was super hard and chesters songs kept me going rip Chester I wish I met you in person

We ALL are human and our souls NEED to connect. It’s in our DNA. And this song seems to connect us all. It speaks to us all. It gives us hope. Like a life buoy emerging from the fog as we swim from our sinking ship. It touched your soul as it did us all. That guy was something special 🖤🌹

I loved to see this reaction man. We all love you dude, you and your beautiful soul. Receive a warm hug from Mexico. Stay strong man.

I’m a huge Metallica fan and nearly everytime they play fade to black live James starts by reminding every one in the audience that they are not alone.

well, i lost my best friend 2 years ago now. this song really makes me cry, this song makes me remember him so much.

Hey Rick. Just wanna tell ya that I dig your videos, man. This one in particular. This amazing song has reached so many of us. It has healed, helped, and inspired. Eventhough we have all felt loss, this is a reminder that we should not take our lives for granted. We are all meant for greater things. Most importantly, our lights are meant to shine. Chester was one man who knew our pain. He showed it through his. God bless you all who are here. May your lights shine on. And god bless you Rick. Thank you.

So sorry about your father. Music can really bring out the emotion, but can also solidify the memories. If you haven't listened to Conway Twitty's That's My Job, it is an awesome tribute to fathers.

I lost my dad over 30 yrs ago and I still grieve I was 10 when he passed

RIP Chester Bennington also RIP to you dad Rick. Please do more Linkin Park. They have so many amazing songs

Your reaction was beautiful. My grandma passed away the other day and she was barely recognisable from when I first knew her. I love your real raw reaction man. Love the support you show back (and this is my first vid). Your message of a loved one was aimed for me by god, Amen brother and stay blessed ❤️

I’ve listened to Linkin Park since they first started. They are probably my favorite band. It’s hard for me to listen to them since Chester left the world but every so often I get into them and get lost in their music. This song makes me cry every time I hear it.

This song brings me to tears everytime. We miss you Chester 😢❤

The whole world absolutely wants you back, Chester!

Thanks for your kindness.

My dad left this world 2 months ago...this song broke me...and thats okay

Im so sorry u had to go thru that. God will be with you. Just keep ur head up. Im cryin with you. ❤

I’ve never heard this song, it’s beautiful! ❤️

You had me choked up before the song even started. God bless you sir.

Aye man the fact that u still shed tears even when holding it back just shows how extraordinary your love for your father is.

You are a real one BROTHER, real talk.

I'm so sorry for your losses, thank you for sharing your grief with us, and all your love 💔❤️

This is a first time listen for me. Its just beautifull. RIP Chester....I reaaly hope you are now, finaly at peace.💔🙏🎶

Just lost my Granny a week ago and this song hits home so hard. It broke my heart. Much love to you brother! Peace and blessings upon you. Keep doing what you're doing.

This is my 5th time crying to this song and it was nice to shed a tear with you! Blessings to you!

Because you don't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there. That's a beautiful metaphor for mental illness and depression an anxiety

This song saved me from committing suicide, especially last year. I have attempted to do it around 6 times in 4 months. I'm sorry for everyone that lost someone they care for and I know that times can get real hard. Just keep on going with your life because it is what they would've wanted for you. RIP Chester.

Today is my best friend’s birthday, he died 10 years ago to suicide. He would be 23 today. Thank you for making my day a bit better. This song is so heart wrenching to me but it’s also like a warm hug.

My 2 sons lost their Dad to suicide when they were only in their 20's😢 it was devastating. I hear this song + it breaks my heart. Chester was hurting so much + gave us his goodbye😢

We're all brother/sisters and feel what we feel as humans being...

Hello everyone if you are going through something know you are not alone. As someone that deals with depression, and thinks of the end on a daily please don't give up talk to a friend or family. Do not let this world win you are more precious than you know. RIP Chester and all that have lost the battle to this world.

A person who lost so many grandparents, I feel you dawg... RIP to our relatives, and hope the best of future for u bro

I’m terribly sorry for your loss, this was a great reaction and I can tell you genuinely liked the song and really are going through a rough time with the loss of your father. I lost my older brother almost 3 years ago and all I can say to you is it gets better. I was 21 when I lost my brother and it was devastating to my family, for the longest time everything felt numb and like life just was on pause but slowly things have been getting better and I’ve come more to terms with the loss of my brother and I hope you come to terms with the loss of your father. God loves you and your family.

Thank you for reacting and keeping the spirit of Linkin Park in peoples hearts and minds. From a die hard Linkin Park fan I thank you. Much love to you.

You’re a strong man. I admire you showing strength through heartache.❤

The fact that they made this song for Chris Cornell and then Chester takes his life a year later on the anniversary is tragically meta

RIP Chester.

Thanks for the beautiful words Rick. I have battled depression most of my life from childhood trauma. I have been listening to Linkin park from the beginning. I was shocked when I heard of Chester's death. His music and voice was a big influence and inspiration to keep moving forward and I have something to live for. Again thanks for the beautiful words man. LOVE FROM CANADA 🇨🇦

Great reaction mate. Linkin park have another great song which has a lot of meaning called Leave Out All The Rest. If you have time check it out.

Yeah.. thank u bro!!!!

never be forgotten..we miss you Chester ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Damn subbing even before the video starts. Good on you for making a difference in some peoples' lives man. Shit's hard out here. Keep doing your thing. RIP Chester.

It is a hard song to get though. I lost both my parents (while trying to revive), a miscarriage (bless my ex..the mother), many friends. Sometimes those lights going out feel like life is now darkness. But we have to see those other lights and carry on.

Beautiful reaction

I lost my mom 5 yrs ago to lung cancer and I think about her everyday and this song is one that I dedicated to her while I spread her ashes 💔it gets easier but they're never forgotten 💔

Wow, that‘s the first video of you I ever watched. The love you are spreading is Beautiful, wish you much love and a blessed life🙏🏼

It’s even more emotional when you hear this on the day he died. 7-20-17 will be a day we will never forget

Check Chris Cornell and Chester singing together!

I lost my fiancée and unborn daughter (drunk driver) over 25 years ago. I was still young and didn’t know how to cope other than by numbing myself with drugs/alcohol. I made the decision to go back to college and finish my degree and halfway through found out my mom had terminal stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She died last December. During that time, my dad’s health also rapidly declined. He had 3 surgeries including a lung resection and a kidney removal and was also diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in his lungs, kidney and it spread to his spinal column. Keep in mind, that they lived with me. My dad just passed a week ago two days after I visited him in the hospice facility he was in. I had just started getting through the grief of losing the 3 most important females in my life and now I’ve lost my father figure. How am I supposed to recover from that? The trauma of grief is overwhelming 😭😭😭

I lost my brother 13 years ago, and it has never gotten easier. My family has all seemed to have moved on except me. This is the first time i ever heard this song.

Thank you for your response! Yep tears every time I hear this. Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️

I absolutely love your channel! You are one of the most honest and inspirational person on RU-vid! Much love to you and your message! Thank you. We need more people like you.❤❤❤

I am a suicide survivor who managed to "save" their bestfriend through my experience with it . . . .the song is so tender and empathetic, my favorit even if it gets me to cry many of the times . . . .it is so hurt, so beautiful, so comforting and weirdly hopeful . . . .linkin park really has this quality of comfort through knowing you are not alone . . . They transformed their own struggles into a lighthouse of understanding and encouragement for so many others who struggle

This song released at a real tough time in my life. It is definitely a special one to me.

One of Linkin Parks best, if you like Linkin Park so far please try Given Up.

In real life, he ACTUALLY crawled off his stretcher to help more wounded soldiers. Then he got shot in his arm by a sniper. THEN crawled all the way back to friendly lines.

I lost my mom to a 4 year battle with Cancer. In the process i lost my brother to a hit and run... This song keeps reminding me i need to keep being a rock and push. But sometimes i dont know if i can.

Damn it! You hit a part of my heart that I'm struggling with right now. Thank you! Love!

Sorry for your loss man, I saw my grandfather passed on the floor of my house, I’ve been where you are man and it stings like hell! Especially since you feel like you could have done something and maybe he would still be here today. I wish you were still here Grandpa, I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you needed me.💔

Chester is one I'll never get over , this band was the closest thing to therapy as a depressed kid in a world that doesn't believe in mental health. R.I.P Chester Bennington.

I’ve learned to be open about my mental health as the years pass because it has gotten harder and everyday I battle with myself. There’s been many times I’ve been borderline just ready to call it quits but my daughter really is the only person keeping me here bcuz I can’t handle thinking the pain I’d cause her and her not feeling like she doesn’t have her mom to have her back. I don’t want her growing up with the pain I carry so I can’t be the one that causes it. This really is a battle.

I appreciate you ! 💚💚💚

If you pay deep attention they actually at the 6:44 in the background pay tribute to Chester's epic screem!

Rip chester i still cry to this day after hearing ab his death

A man/woman knows when it's ok cry.❤

This caused me to subscribe. Thank you for your reaction. Im sorry, I am emotional, thank you for not being ashamed of showing your emotions.

This is 1 of my favourite songs. I lost my mum 3 years ago, then my precious daughter and now my brother recently. I can't listen to this song without crying, it's so beautiful. Thank you for not being afraid to show your emotion and cry, it's hard to watch you cry, but also makes me feel that it's OK for me to hurt, be angry and cry. Much love to you ❤

Chester your light will burn 4ever R.I.P.

R.i.p Chester Linkin park aways help me through my depression I have not been the same since my father past

you are a lovely human being. Peace.

I do, too. ❤

Very cool guy! Greetings from Germany, you are not alone.

The story behind this song is so sad. Its about his good friend Chris Cornell who died by suicide by hanging. Then Chester wrote this song for him, only to then take his own life by suicide by hanging 2 months later after Chris' death. Truly heartbreaking

I’m a fire paramedic. This song brings up some bad memories… but it helps me get out the repressed emotions hiding away

Thank you for you positive words! Stay strong. Your dad obviously raised someone with a good heart and that's where he will always be.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN AND CAN TOTALLY RELATE: LOST BOTH PARENTS, A GRANDCHILD, TWO CHILDREN TO MURDER. A BROTHER, BUT ONE LEARNS TO CHOKE DOWN THE GOLF BALL OF PAIN IN ONES THROAT, LOOK TO FATHER FOR STRENGTH AND ONE DAY YOU'LL GET YOUR BREATH BACK AND YOU CAN BREATH AGAIN, AND WALK ON BY TAKING ONE STEP AT A TIME. MAY FATHERS ARM BE PUT AROUND YOUR SHOULDER, LIFT YOU CHIN WHEN ITS DROOPING DOWN, HIS ANGELS SURROUNDING YOU, HIS STRENGTH SUSTAIN YOU, GUARD YOU, GUIDE YOU, AND HEAL YOUR TREMENDOUSLY BROKEN HEART. WE DO HEAL, OUR HEARTS WILL MEND, IT MAY BE A BIT SCARRED BUT ALL IN ALL, IT TURNS TO COURAGE TO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH KNOWING YOU " WILL " SEE THEM AGAIN IN THE HERE AFTER, TO NEVER BE PARTED FROM THEM AGAIN. KEEP THE FAITH BROTHER. IT'LL GET EASIER TO BARE, YOU ARE JUST NOW STARTING YOUR PATH TO HEALING. KEEP THEIR MEMORY ALIVE AND THEY SHALL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU, ALWAYS, THEIR WORDS, THEIR LAUGHTER, THEIR PERSONALITY, WHAT THEY WOULD SAY IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES AND YOU WILL LAUGH AGAIN. FATHER BLESS YOU. TAKE CARE!

Good video man. No shame with those tears. We here with you
