I could not listen to LP so long time bcs I was sad that Chester was gone.. but after listening this song I am feeling so hurt inside again and I appreciate his work, talent, voice.. he was amazing and he would never be forgetten, he lives in our hearts and minds.. I consider this song one of the best, I am not native speaker but after reading lyrics of this song I was hurt deep again and I can feel real emotions goes out from me because of real emotions goes out from Chester, on my opinion this song is one of the best from Linkin Park.. I am little bit depressed of listening to song again and again but I have to listen again and again...
13 days before Chester passed away he gave this performance He’s surrounded by people who love him, adore him, idolize him. Yet when we look in his eyes, There’s nothing, it’s cold, empty, shallow. His soul has left his body, He feels alone when surrounded, Trying to express how much we miss you is impossible Chester, You mean(t) the world to us and always will You saved millions of people with your words year after year It’s just so sad we couldn’t save you The lyrics of this song perfectly describe what we’d say to you ‘Who cares if one more light goes out in a sky of a million stars’ We do Chester, all of us All millions of us do We miss you Till we see you again Love Always Your Fans 🧡
If we could turn back time and get him help, I'm sure there are a lot of people who would offer him words of encouragement and save him from himself or at least try. As a man living with bipolar I understand his feelings of suicide because I've lived with them my entire life but am now on a journey to help others and in doing so #makeChesterproud
stef vastmans glad you had to add the “hung himself.” Ya know cause we NEED to know how he died. Like seriously I wish people would just be respectful and say he passed away, there’s no point in telling people how he died
Crazy Linkin Park fan In the end, I didn’t say anything that isn’t true, so that’s 1. Secondly, Chester was a legend and wd will always honour him Mentioning his way of passing doesn’t damage that honour in any way
This is beautiful. And the fact that his son looks just like him. God be with this man forever. Until we all meet again!!! Shine bright Chester. We will never forget u.
Yes!! I say the same thing. I wonder how it would be if we us his fans would of saved him. I’m beyond hurt the month he died I also died not only because of his death but because I lost my baby. It’s a horrible month I will for ever listen to linkin park ❤️
I also wish I could go back in time to save him. He was absolutely amazing and had the most beautiful voice. I still cry when I hear him sing and see his gorgeous face not to mention his beautiful children and bandmates 💖💓💓💓😘
I wonder if singing sad songs over and over again had a terrible impact on his psyche.. Rock/metal musicians generally don't make very positive sounding music.. It's all mostly about having a rough childhood, having an ex who betrayed you, being molested, being bullied in high school.. Like you're always taken back to those dark days, reliving the trauma.. Even though you'd like to forget and move on.
@@Hanibul_Lecktor that's not a blank look. It's absolute hopelessness and sorrow. It's the emptiness of depression. The feelings he had were so heavy and overwhelming.
0:37 that look in his eyes is haunting. I think here he'd already made his decision and knew he was going to take his life soon. He wanted to be surrounded by his fans 1 final time. You could see him taking the moments in, knowing that would be the last. Absolutely heartbreaking 😭
@Ivan Renard i very much disagree with this comment. While nobody can 100% be for sure, there is no way he just decided on a wim. Especially considering the day he chose to do it. As someone who also has gone through depression and who thought about ending it, I definitely was processing how I would do it for multiple days. You don't just get drunk and make a decision to hang yourself (Which is also the same way Chris did it). I find your comment very ignorant.
@Ivan Renard actually suicides are rarely a spontaneous act. It is often meticulously planned down to the last detail. I have no doubt Chester knew what he was going to do, that is why I believe he was drinking. He was a great man who helped millions with his songs, sadly his demons became too strong but he is still helping millions to this day. Many people are alive today because of him & we thank him everyday 🫶
As a person struggling with depression, PTSD and anxiety , I am under a treatment, going to therapy, pills , AA , etc... We don't plan the day we will do it , it just happens in a moment of a really bad impulse and a really bad crisis , the thought is always inside our head , but sometimes it's stronger than other times , believe me , I tried already 2 times and also once almost had a heart attack (I didn't want to die this day) there is always a struggle and we have good and bad days , if you add alcohol and substances abuse the risk of suicide greatly increases
But during the oml release, he was quite unhappy with the response of fans. You know that right? No one knew the intense problem he was in until he gave up.
The thing is that it doesn’t matter in the end and even the people that are best to us can’t suppress the sadness inside us. Even people that live a „fulfilled“ life end up killing themselves because they just can’t take it. If ur about to end itself just think about the pain ur feeling and what u are doing is gonna end up hurting the people close to you and they might even feel the same as u in the end so just don’t.
He is very down to earth man,,depression is really a disease that can kill your light slowly,,everyday we fight this battle trying to fight for our life every second,,
It’s difficult for me to even go one minute without getting goosebumps listening to this song, but when Chester screams at 3:05, That’s when I really start to bawl into tears. The pain in his eyes really tell the story. R.I.P Chester, you will never be forgotten. 😭💔🕊️
@@XimaX-NL I think it’s to comfort him to show him his fans love him and want to help Him probably wrong but his fans cared and loved this man may he Rest In Peace
So sad that for 3 days after I couldn't sleep and pretty much stayed up on LP chat room Every 5th or 7th comment was a fan saying that LP (And other rock/metal bands) saved their lives.. some recalled how they attempted suicide... 1 in particular hurt like hell. A girl recalled how her parents were going out for the night and she decided to hang herself.. later her dad realised he left his wallet at home and drive back with his wife to fetch it.. only to find their daughter hanging in the lounge. She hadn't been there long at all and they apparently were able to save her. Another said how she'd slit het wrists but her boyfriend found her..Another had said how she'd downed a box of pills...all those people are still here because eventually someone realised that they needed help and music was their salvation... I wish Chester Could be seen those comments. Maybe it would be made a difference.. Maybe not. But at least he would then have known how special he was
Weird story: I was in therapy battling a lot of trauma and pain for about 5 years before this. When I would explain my own mental health to my close friends (I hid my mental anguish pretty well), I used to quote Chester. He had once said that his mind was like a bad neighborhood, you can’t be left alone in there for too long because it became dangerous. Despite my own journey through trauma, rape, self hatred, abuse, blah blah blah…the only time I ever cried in therapy was the day Chester died. I was so sad that he had supported me thru every step of my journey with his music, but in his final moments I couldn’t return the favor. He died all alone. After saving countless people’s lives, no one should have to end like that. RIP Chester - you meant more than you knew.
I often wonder why it is that the person who desperately tries to heal others is usually the person whose wounded himself. The man was an angel and I’m so sad he’s gone.
When a person is so desperate to help others they face an unimaginable amount of pressure to be stronger than they are able to be. Imagine being told constantly that you are the reason someone is alive because of your music all while suffering in silence yourself. Chester took on the responsibility for so many and this is something we, as fans, often overlook. Everyone is susceptible to depression and the stigma of mental health still exists today. Look at how fans reacted to people like Britney Spears when she broke. We have got to start realizing these are people and not just entertainers.
What a fucking unnecessary comment. Maybe he was referring to the fact that you could see all the pain just seeping out. "The eyes are the mirror of the soul" just become more and more reasonable by the day.
I am a big old school guy. But every time I watch this I cry like a Baby and am not ashamed to admit it. What a wonderful Talent taken far to soon. Still feel it every time I hear him sing. RIP Chester the world is I worse place without you. 😞
Randomfools He Knew That He Wanted To Commit SuiCide??😢😢😢 But Why Man He Does Not have Any Diesase Or Anything Man....Man This Guy Is Really Brave To Face Death
Consider that at this point, Chris Cornell has died and he'd already sang it before in memory of him. My bet is that after that, singing this song was never the same for him. Probably painful every time.
So many people had so many negative reactions to their last album because it wasn't the Linkin Park they had grown to know. As someone who has struggled with clinical depression and suicidal thoughts most of my life. . . this album is a coping mechanism. I am not alone. He was the voice of a broken generation
I understand why people didn't like it. I found most of the songs underwhelming on first listen. This song was different, though. While the others (except Good Goodbye) had to grow on me, this one hit the first listen and I felt every ounce of pain in Chester's voice. Even if he didn't write this particular song, you can tell how much the lyrics resonate with him and how sincere it all is. Chester was more than a legendary rock icon, he was one of the best voices in music and he and the band never sacrificed their integrity. They changed their sound, even when people hated it, because it was what they wanted to do. A Thousand Suns is easily their best album and any corporate exec would tell them they were crazy for making such a shift. I'd dealt with celebrity deaths before, but Chester was the first one where I felt like I lost a part of myself. I was a little late to the party, only hearing them for the first time when Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock came out, but their music helped me through the darkest times in my life, times where I wanted to end it all. I know this has become a wall of text, but I get passionate when talking about Linkin Park. I can't believe it's five years this year since we lost him.
I loved the album, played it constantly. Had tickets to Manchester that got cancelled but luckily got tickets to the last ever gig. I miss Chester and Linkin Park so much 😢 💔
Truly a person that will never be able to be replaced. It's 3am and I'm in tears on how much I clinged to their music. And how their music gave me a safe space and a home. To say sad or devastated I am is an understatement. The last scream chester let out hit close to home. Being a person of battling depression and suicide attempts. It made me feel like I'm not alone. Chester. It's not the world was too much for you. It's that the world wasn't ready for you. You have touched so many people and left a huge impact on what we call life. Thank you for being a friend I never got to meet.
I couldn't have said it better. As a suffering man from depression and anxiety everyday and who's survived 4 suicide attempts and constantly thinks about suicide, this man and his band has saved my life in more ways than imagined. I owe him my life. Chester, R.I.P brother. I'll join you soon enough 😭😭
Oh I miss him so much, he helped so many with his voice. Look at how much he loved his fans, they’re literally rubbing his arms and shoulders with sincere emotion and he lets them without pulling away at all …. RIP, forever you will be remembered Chester
The way he was holding that guys hands and looking at all of his fans. It was like he was saying goodbye. He was saying I hope you can forgive me. Chester Bennington you literally saved millions. Hell you saved billions. But we couldn’t save you. You’ll always have a place in my heart. Your music still helps me get through tough times. RIP man
I thought exactly the same. If I was that guy that held his hand, dealing with what I do myself now....not sure I could take it after him leaving us. Hope that him and the fans that spent this song with him are doing ok, I would not be.
So sad. He was such a kind soul. He was loved by so so many and admired by millions. But that couldn’t change how he felt inside his own brain. Such a tragic loss.
Depression is an ugly, ugly and dark disease of the mind. It clouds the light in your soul, so all you see is darkness and all you feel is pain. I am so sad to see it take another life.
@@etol417 Depression brought me down to depths I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. I turned to alcohol to avoid the pain but it only made the darkness and hopelessness worse. It almost took my life. If it wasn't for the support of my family I would not be here. That misery I suffered is undoubtedly worse than any physical pain.
Being in a bad place atm myself, this song breaks me every time I listen to it but still have it on repeat, you've saved me many times, just really sad u couldn't save urself. RIP Chester xxxx
Hang on in there. Just don't give up. I've been through the hell of severe and chronic clinical depression and many times felt there was no hope. But now I'm in a better place. So I'm just saying to you: I am so sorry that you are hurting right now. Please be kind to yourself. Give yourself all the space and the time that you need. Don't give up, always believe in Hope and that things *can* get better and tomorrow is another day. Where there is life there is hope. Life is precious. X
Hey Sarah. Reach out to someone because lots of people care about Chester that didn’t even know him personally. Someone surely will listen to you. There’s a million stars but here each of them, including yourself, we care if that light stays or goes.
May 2024, I, like so many others, wish your light had never gone out. Your music has always helped me for as long as I can remember and as I start to really feel the weight of decades worth of pleasing everyone I can so they don’t leave, making no end of mistakes and now I’m just tired. What I would give to have one more song from this genius.
The girl at 1:33 screaming 'You're Amazinngggggg!' from the bottom of her heart, thank you. You did your part. Everyone please learn to open-heartedly compliment each other, and make Chester really proud!
20.07 was happy birthday best friends Chester’s- Chris Cornell whose was commit suicide. It was last show front concert’s in North America. All band was in vacation after this concert. Also, Chester knew that will be last show.
@@Sandra-pc7do I think you read it wrong... Buddha was just saying "You are not alone, never give up" which is a good thing to say because when you're depressed you often feel like it's only you that are depressed and no one else. The weather does actually affect our mood, the sun is really doing great things to us, giving us vitamins that we need. Trust me, I used to hate everyone who said that, but they are just trying to help you. You will be okay, eventually, but you need to fight through it first, cause when you fight through it you will learn to accept it and it will be much easier to deal with. Stay strong!
I have a deep connection to that song. The chorus says that noone really cares for you cause there are a million stars next to yours in the sky and all of them will fade away in just one second of history. I used this lines as my last words, before jumping of a bridge. I was seventheen then and when I survived I had a pretty hard time. I could not walk from the injuries I suffered doing that self inflicted trauma, but by now I can walk again. Coming back to this song after this most horrible year of my young life, it is not a symbol for death and saying goodbye anymore as it was for Chester. No, it is a song of life and the fight. For all those people suffered so much like I did and still do. This song gives so many things back. Dignity in the eyes of the society, a voice who didn't have any words left. Now it is the voice of all this billion stars united. I like that imagination pretty well. If you won't to share your story as well, just comment under mine. It is just an offer, you don't need to take it. But Linkin Park was my voice for so long, my ventil to turn to. Maybe I can do something like this just for one person, what this man did for thousands...
I’ve been right there where you were. When I woke up in the hospital after a drug induced coma, I was SO angry with God that he didn’t take me! That was many, many years ago, but I still struggle with the depression and that I should be dead. No one truly knows what someone’s going through, even if they experienced some of those same feelings and emotions. I guess what I’ve learned through all of this is that everything really does happen for a reason and that we need to be present for all of it! Love and prayers, my fellow warrior! We’ve got this!
@@rebeccachrist2080 I am very very glad you are still with us. Even though from the distance all stars look alike, very few will see, that the law of nature is a different one. Some stars are older than the others, some are bigger, some are colder from the inside, some are bright enough to illuminate their entire galaxy. No matter what kind of star you are, your star is still unique and it would be a shame to have it vanished from the night sky, which would never be whole again.
@@rebeccachrist2080 Thank you for yours! You are welcome. I don't like people, who say as a young person, you can't connect with people who are much older than you. I think both sides should take the opportunity to exchange life experience, both sides will have completely different angles on a similiar situation, they both been through. As an autistic person I always tend to bound with people who I think are "measure enough" to understand my difference I did not asked for. But of course every person has more than one character trait and I'd love to hear more about you (of course, with only so much detail you feel you are comfortable to share with a stranger on the internet)
@@saraoverkamping8143 I completely understand and agreeI am a former elementary school teacher, and I worked with special needs children. I had some that were autistic, different levels, so I was able to determine my son has it. He’s highly functioning, or Asperger’s syndrome, but he had his share of challenges in school. It’s a constant struggle, but it’s all worth it! We can all learn so much if we start really listening to each other and stop trying to outdo each other! ❤️🙏
His eyes look like he had already made the commitment. What a unique, amazing talented and intelligent man. I feel privileged to listen to his music xxx
I watch this frequently despite it breaking my heart every time. If only someone could’ve saved him from himself … just a beautiful person and genius musician ❤
Was there at this concert. Was an epic evening, was so sad we lost him. Was so strange to be unware that this was to be his last. I will never forget that night and how it gave me shivers down my spine. Grew up on LP and still to this day love them. RIP Chester.
Tears are running down my face as I'm watching this video. 😥 Can't believe that already almost 6 years have passed since he's gone. Chester was such an awesome human being and in our memories and through his music he will live on forever. ❤
It still hurts to watch this honestly... I still can't bring myself to really listen to this album again yet, it hurts too much. Hell I've only recently been able to get through Minutes to Midnight again, literally anything more recent than that just hurts
it's amazing to see how softly the crowd touch him. hold his hand his arm his shoulder. i fucking miss him and its bad to know, that he never will do such great music with his band. I would have loved to go to a Linkin Park concert, but I was too young to go to a concert alone.
Same here :,( I was born in ‘03 and I’ve been listening since ‘07 but my parents never listened to LP, by the time I was old enough to go alone and afford a ticket,Chester was gone :,((
I ain't gonna lie and I'm an old hippie but...... I would have' snuck out, lol Did many times at 13 and never once did I regret it, or the consequences. Do Not Do This guys and gals............. But dang, I saw tons of greats, cheap. Don't feel too bad, I'm missing the Foo, and Taylor.
Look at his sad eyes! It tells it all! 😢😢😢😢 Four days past and I am still crying a river! Never knew that I would love this man this much. I feel like he is my family. Rest in peace Chester. Thanks for everything you have done for us. Your music has inspired and helped so many of us to get through hard times. You have saved many people's lives. You will be greatly missed. When I have kids I will show them your music and your incredible screaming and tell them how great and talented you are! 💖💖💖 With LOVE
Mayuree Yansoongnern absolutely deserves some tears. LP saves me in my youth years. I exactly knew what you have said. my next baby boy will be named Chester 🙂 in memory of him.
Mayuree Yansoongnern There's sadness in his eyes and also defiance. That "I do" line, him smiling and holding everyone's hands, that was him celebrating life. He cared. Rest in peace, Chester.
He didn't suicide, call me a conspirator but I truly believe in the theory that child-traffic mafia that he, Cornell and others were fighting against actually killed him. -He didn't left a letter, which could make him 1% of suicides -A empty bottle of strong alcohol but no alcohol or drugs in his blood. -Signs of someone else in the room but absolutely no fingerprints in the room (no one touches anything ever?) -Hanged in the exact same position and manner of Chris Cornell's (he had access to police files in order to perform a copycat???)
JohnnyBrannon You're probably right, I just cant get over the fact that he's gone... it feels so unreal, it's like he was part of my family, my eyes get watery every time I listen to his music now.
I’ve been soo upset 😭 watching this as not only is it 13 days before he could no longer go on but you can see how broken he is inside and struggling soo much and he’s actually crying 😭 💔💔💔 Chester and his beautiful voice and the lyrics of this song have helped me soo much in really dark times and yet millions couldn’t save one Chester 💔💔💔💔😭😭😭 Rest in Peace Chester and your Legacy will never die and will live on forever 💯💯🙏🙏💜💜
And people moan that people recording videos at concerts ruins it well this proves that wrong, that they create memories that will last a lifetime and to be able to watch moments like this is beautiful
It's almost like he feels guilty when he looks in the fans eyes so he had to squint most all the way through the whole song... it's ok Chester, I'm not good and goodbyes either 💔
people were just trying to capture this happy moment for themselves, while he was trying to reach out to everyone when he was feeling bad. while you sang just the lyrics, he felt everything
Dios mío Chester Mi sueño era verte cantar en vivo, nunca lo podré hacer y... Es imolsible no llorar viendo esto, el carisma que tiene es súper Cariñoso con sus fans, yo sé que tenías motivos para Suicidarte, pero porque ahora, ya se lo de Chris pero tú tenías un montón de Almas como la mia que te veían como lo mejor de lo mejor, ahora lo único que siento es un Vacío Enorme como todo fan de Linkin Park, pero en especial de vos Cheter Querido, han pasado 5 años ya y parece que fue ayer cuando todos cantaban tus canciones en los recitales. Estes dónde estés, Te Amamos Chester Beninngton 🙏🏼🇦🇷
In just 2 months it will be 6 years and this man's words still make me tear up and get chills. His pain was so real but masked for his fans. If only someone would have heard his pleas for help. RIP Chester you will forever be missed and loved.
It's 2020 this man is a legend, this song and its lyrics are harrowing Depression and mental illness are serious and should be taken so.. Not stigmatised as it is 💔
The thing is calling depression a mental illness is what makes people not talk about it. I don’t believe it’s a mental illness. I know cuz I suffer from manic depression. I don’t talk about it and just keep everything inside. My family knows but that’s it. You couldn’t tell if you met me. I put on a smile and make jokes and pretend I’m ok. Things happen to you as a child that cause this to happen. I wasn’t born broken, but things in my life broke me and triggered something in me. There are legitimate mental illnesses like schizophrenia, dementia, split personalities. I don’t believe things like depression, anxiety, addiction, add/adhd, and things should be called a illness. It isn’t helping people, we don’t want to be called sick and be treated differently. If it wasn’t labeled a mental illness I think my people would search for help.
You helped me Chester. You helped me being still alive and fighting. Thank you for everything. You gave us strengh with your work and we love you! We miss you a lot
the way he holds his fans, holding their hands and care for them even while he sings. he truly cared for his fans. if i were him, i would be telling them to please stop and hug them one by one instead. he was such a sweet man, and his fans were sweet too.
I can never get over his death, it hurts even today and tears come to my eyes so quickly. I have never been so hurt by someones' death, except for maybe family and I just accepted it but I can't accept Chester's death unless he knows that we all love him so much.
Famous or Not. I have depression and anxiety. If I had people touching like that I would flip my lid. I u had any idea what he was going though people might understand
they were supporting him as gentlely as they could. i mean how many of them would ever imagine being this close to him, and instead of like most crowds where they molest the crap out of the artist in front of them, these fans were holding him, holding his hand, gently rubbing his arm and back as he held on to several of their hands throughout the song. I think he was singing to them specifically...and to himself.
The pain in Chester’s eyes is heart breaking, depression is a insidious fucking beast that destroys everything in its path and takes away so many beautiful souls. Your music is beautiful Chester and will live on to help many and we totally understand and love you bro 🥇🥇🥇🤟🤟
Jessica Farina yes I agree I got this feelings he decided that this was his last show he looks extremely sad to me. It's as if he was saying goodbye look at the long time he was holding that guys hand up. Chester you are missed!
Absolutely!! Chester was the best and this song reminds me of relatives and friends and Chester that we have all lost! Waaayyy too many heartless and lost souls out there!
As a 41 year old man this makes me cry. Its so sad the amount of people that loved him. Maybe he looked at the crowd as fans and didnt realize everyone in the audience loved him. Idk..... sad. RIP
We will never be able to go through this again. It's crazy, I'm still sad and I feel like part of my adolescence is gone. Despite everything, I continue to listen to Linkin Park every day. Thank you Chester.
I wish that someone could have saved him. I WISH. It's unbearable knowing he was in so much pain and must have felt so alone and empty inside. It's so sad that even the love of his millions of fans could not save him. I wish he was still alive. It's just so, so wrong that he's gone. It's hard to believe. It seems somehow like a terrible mistake. He should still be here with us. Dear Chester. You were / are loved. What a beautiful soul xxxx
