Shadow Of The Day [Official Music Video] - Linkin Park 

In November 2014 I stood with my 17 year old son and watched LP play this song live. 3 months later he was diagnosed with leukaemia, and 8 months after that he died in my arms aged 18. I had this song played at his funeral. Sometimes goodbye's the only way. Miss you son. Miss you Chester.

"Sometimes solutions aren't so simple.. Sometimes goodbye's the only way" I'm crying...

I’m here reading the comments and it’s so special how people still remembering him after all this time. Rest in peace, Chester. You still rock

15 years and I’m still here. Nobody let this song fade!

Heaven just got a lot louder.

'Sometimes solutions aren't so simple Sometimes goodbye's the only way' R.I.P. Chester Bennington

“Your friends all plead for you to stay.” This hit different for anyone else

Happy Birthday Chester. It's been 7 years without you.

A thousand suns will set for you, Chester

This song is 10 times harder to listen to now...Rip

Unfortunately, I (58 years old) have only just discovered Linkin Park. When my kids used to listen to Linkin Park, I guess I wasn't ready for it. Linkin Park touches my heart and soul. RIP Chester.😭

He made these songs for us... while he was suffering from his own demons. Thank you for everything chester, you deserve to be free.

A true tragedy, and loss for us all. A bit of everyone's childhood has died too. Rest in peace you amazing man, Chester Bennington.

"A man only dies when he is forgotten" -Kamina

This song is underrated

38 years old and i'm crying listening again to this song after years... Linkin Park is music therapy ❤

First time the death of an artist touch me like that...

this linkin park song is sooo underrated. Can't understand why

I was just 24 when "Shadow of the Day" came out in 2007, and it's a song that will forever hold a special place in my heart. That year, my older brother tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident. He was always the one I looked up to, the person who guided me through life's ups and downs. The lyrics of this song resonated with me during those dark days, as I struggled to come to terms with my brother's sudden departure. The line "Sometimes solutions aren't so simple, sometimes goodbye's the only way" hit especially hard. I found solace in Chester's voice and the raw emotion he conveyed, giving a voice to the pain I was feeling inside. Now, whenever I listen to "Shadow of the Day," it serves as a reminder of my brother's love, his laughter, and the way he lived his life to the fullest. It's been more than a decade, but the song still brings a tear to my eye, while also providing me with a sense of comfort. I'm grateful to Linkin Park for creating a song that has helped me through the most challenging time of my life, and I know there are countless others who have found solace in their music as well. Rest in peace, my beloved brother, and to Chester Bennington, two beautiful souls gone too soon. Your memories and your music will live on forever.

Du hast so vielen Menschen aus der Seele gesprochen. Du warst ein Guter auf dieser Welt. Wir vermissen Dich Chester!

The fact that a lot of people my age got introduced to Linkin Park when we were children and still listen to them to this day speaks volumes. It's gonna be hard listening to his voice now knowing he's gone

The sun will set for you, Chester. 🕊

You are still remembered in 2024 Chester:) now and forever 😢

This Song is one of the most beautiful songs Linkin Park had ever written and nowadays 6 years after the loss of Chester this song is even sadder Chester you are missed

4 years later, JULY 20th, 2021. MY heart still cannot handle this loss. Rock in Peace Chester.

Rest in Peace Chester Bennington, you will be missed.

March 20, 1976 - March 20, 2023. You would have been 47 years old today. Rest in peace from where you stand, Chester the legend. We will never forget you. 🙏😓

"Sometimes goodbye is the only way" Nobody prepared us to say goodbye. Chester, We will never forget you.

"Sometimes goodbye's the only way" . RIP Chester.

The way I think about it... Chester never died, he simply became music. Thank you Chester. The power of your words will always live on.

"Sometimes solutions aren't so simple" How deep is this phrase

I'm 28 years old now but Chester saved me all through high school. will never forget the impact his music had on my life. RIP love xx

I'm here because I can't shake the sadness at Chester's passing. His voice has comforted me so many times.

I cant listen to this and not cry. This song helped me come to terms with my divorce which was such a dark time for me. Thank you Linkin Park...Chester I guarantee you are more missed than you ever thought possible.

GREAT singer and GREAT HUMAN BEING.

"The sun will set for you" give me energy to keep fighting against depresion that I have ... To have optimistic paradigm that I will stay alive ...

"Sometimes goodbye's the only way", Rest in Peace Chester :(

ONE OF MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS EVER MADE

I remember listening this song everyday after coming from school, I also performed this song on the farewell day of my school. Rest In Peace Chester. Love from India🇮🇳

Never realised this song was about his first suicide attempt, the lyrics hit all the more harder now that’s he’s no longer with us.

The lyrics are so intense today. RIP Chester.

My daughter was born to this song 9 years ago.She was an emergency c section and in the OR they were playing the radio and this song came on.I literally heard her first cries to this song..RIP Chester Bennington 🌹

I've grown tired of the endless cycle of suffering, this song puts things so perfectly for us battling our demons. Some of us ultimately pull the trigger when we've had enough. I fear that my time is now. It's bittersweet with a sprinkle of melancholy happiness; finality to this endless suffering. By no longer breathing, I can finally breathe. Sometimes goodbye is the only way.

The one song I add to every playlist I ever make. Any genre, any era, any mood.

There is a very dark shadow over the day today for millions of people. RIP Chester.

And so suddenly we realise that perhaps Chester was struggling for years and perhaps these lyrics were too close to home. The sun didn't have to set for you Chester, but in doing so you've made so many speak out about their battles. Thank you for your music and your life. The lessons you've given are invaluable.

Two decades later still hits like it's the first time listening.. Iconic, legendary, one in a million. Thank you Chester!

June 2024, whos all here? Sometimes i listen to LP to take me back to my childhood, when life was simple. When i didnt understand the magnitude of the lyrics in their songs. Im 27 now and life just seems to be so hard but still fighting the good fight.

crying my eyes out. RIP Chester. You saved so many with your music. I wish it could have saved you too.

It's been 4 years. Gone but not forgotten. We miss you Chester.

If anybody from Linkin Park reads this comment, I just want to let y’all know that your music will never die. You guys helped shape a lot of lives my own included, I’ve been listening to you guys since I was a baby. It’s been nearly 6 years since Chester left us, and despite all of the hardship and tragedy everyone went through, your guys’ music was there, being listened to, helping everyone through tough times. He may have left us all alone down here, but I’m sure he’s happy up there wherever he is, because he left behind one hell of a legacy. Thank you for your time and I hope everyone is doing okay.

Life is cruel. Crying out from your soul and no body can hear.

I think it is crazy about how many people came to this song again, I wonder how many people came to this song just to cry their face out just like me listening to this song over and over again. I love Linkin Park and I love everyone that loves them as much as I do. Omg I can barley see the keyboard right now I'm crying too much. Rip Chester I love you and you will always remain in my heart.

Even though the sun has set for you, your voice carries on, through us and through the legacy you've left behind. Rest in peace my friend...

This song won an award.

I am a guy in my early 40s and not ashamed to say I have shed a tear knowing this beautiful talented man is not with us anymore 😢 Too many men in this world don’t talk about their dark demons which is extremely sad!! Every time I hear Shadow of the day it gives me inspiration to push forward as life is so precious. Chester may you Rest In Peace fine man and hope your singing your heart out ❤️ I miss you dearly mate 😘

Goodbye Chester 😩. Thank you so much for making my childhood awesome

I listened to this song about 15 years ago and am still coming back to it today.

Chester had the best vocal ability any artist could ever have period.

The message this video is trying to conceive is that all around us is constant violence and dangers of real life, gang crimes, police brutality, animal cruelty, race wars, etc., and the fact that Chester is shown walking through it all without so much of a single blink of an eye comes to show how all of us have grown so used to this everyday lifestyle that we are all living in, that we simply walk by it all without a single spark of sympathy come up in our minds. People are always quick to blame society for all the world's problems, but what most of us don't realize, is that we ARE society. There's nobody else to blame but ourselves..

RIP......THE SUN WILL SET FOR YOU

15 years ago, still hurts. damn. Rest in peace Chester🥀

Somehow this isn't the first Linkin Park music video that takes place during the middle of a riot

I’m in 5th grade, I wake up for school and turn on VH1 and hear this new song, see the video. I don’t understand. I’m 24 now and waking up for work, I search for this song and watch the video to relate and to comfort myself.

I've never felt like this before, chester is not just artist. He's a hero.

Thank you Chester, your not forgotten

1 man saved a million lives, but 1 million couldn't save 1. RIP Chester. We love you hope you have found peace

You're gone for 2 years now.. Thank you for making my childhood, thank you for helping me through my dark times, thank you for your unbelievable voice. I miss you so much, Chester. 💔 20.03.1976 - forever.

Damn. What a fucking bummer. We may joke and take the piss out of Linkin Park nowadays, whether for the new sound or laughing at how we were angsty little shits back when we listened to them everyday, but they really meant a lot. A little bit of a story, I was at this shoot. I didn't work on it, I wasn't an extra, I had nothing to do with it, I just was fortunate enough to be able to visit the set. I was back then, real young, like before highschool young. And LP were the first band I had ever really fallen in love with, enough to follow and learn about. The first band I got made fun of for loving. The first band I stood up for. And I can remember meeting Chester there and talking with him, not just for a couple minutes, but for like 30-40 while they were setting up and taking a break. And maybe it wasn't really a back and forth, me some young dumb kid, but I remember how happy Chester was to stay and talk with me, to answer any questions and just tell me things. Where was this guy I looked up to and respected massively, and he was. happy to talk to me for however long I needed. He had the time and he gave it to me. And then a few months later I was lucky enough to see them and I got close enough to the stage so that during one point in the set he saw me and came over and waved to say hey. He remembered me. One more fan in tens of thousands, and he remembered. This sounds like I'm trying to make myself out as special, that's not what this is, this is me saying how cool Chester was. A dude who remembered you and wanted to talk to fans and turn them from fans to friends. I just got lucky. I'm sure there are tons of others with similar stories, that seemed like the sort of guy he was, a genuine person. I may not listen to them anymore, I'm sure many people don't who used to love them, they were a certain sound for a certain time. But goddamn were they an important sound for us at that time. A sound that said you weren't alone in this shitty situation. So maybe, for us who grew up with them reinventing and playing an important part in the sound of early 2000's, the new stuff isn't great, but maybe that's because it's not for us. Perhaps their reinventions were for the kids who came after us, the kids who needed their own version of the stuff we had, not with angsty vocals and guitars, but with pop and such. And for those kids, maybe those new albums are as important as Hybrid and Meteora were for us. I mean shit, if Stormzy has respect for them, that's gotta mean their new sound is doing something right. This has all gone on longer then I meant it to when I started writing it, but I guess in writing it I'm realizing how important they really were for me, even after all this time - hell, I should have already know the way me and friends were drunkenly get hyped when these old bangers came on in a club. I guess this is all just to say, thank you Chester, thank you for making Linkin Park such an important part of our lives. I'll miss you man

I came back for the memories. This song it's just a master piece.

For me , Chester never died, because all we are part of him and he is part of us.

This is one the most underrated LP-Songs ever. Its just great.

This song hurts more now. It was never an easy song for me to hear, but knowing that Chester is gone makes it hurt worse. RIP Chester. I hope heaven is good to you.

I listened to Linkin Park all the time, especially in my hard times, I lost my cat 2019, I known her my whole life and this song would play in my head all day

We don't search for old songs... We search for old memories.

sometimes solutions aren't so simple, sometimes goodbye is the only way :( rest in peace, dear chester

Hey chester I know you can't read this but I'm going to tell you that I love you, you saved me when I was lonely, when nobody support me, It's been 5 years since you gone and I miss you, I miss Linkin Park, I miss listen your songs, I miss everything of you, I really do. I hope you can get what you deserved wherever you go. I Love you Chester Thank you for everything

This solo guitar gives me goosebumps feels like I'm in heaven

Once you know what this song is about it hits 10 times harder. His first attempt, sadly it wasn't his last. Miss you Chester, RIP 🕊

Random person that is reading this, I hope you have a wonderful life. We may never meet again but we will always be together when we listen to Linkin Park Copied

"Sometimes Goodbye's the only way" 💔 You will forever be missed.

It was today ...❣️

This song feels like you know you are about to die, and you are at peace with it, having accepted the bittersweet nature of existence

This song was released the year my brother was diagnosed with cancer. For 14 years he battled and this song always resonated with me. We said goodbye to my brother this year. This song says it all

"Sometimes goodbye is the only way... and the sun will set for you." Lyrics are so intense. Rest in peace Chester Bennington. Thank you for all the beautiful songs.

Minutes to midnight one of my favorite CDs from Chester, Bennington and Linkin park

OMG, 15 years ago Im 16year, now im 31 But This song still like yesterday.. ❤️🎧 Miss you Chester🥀

" Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple. Sometimes GOODBYE'S the only way"

You got me through the darkest times, I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you...

I could listen to this every single day of my life and never get tired of it

This song used to play on the radio when I was a kid. One day, they stopped playing it. I found this song again after a decade, right on my 18th birthday. It hits way different now... 😓

I had cancer at 18. I’m 21 cancer free now. I didn’t really understand the meaning of this song until I came out of those hard times. Have a great day everyone ❤️ rip Chester

I have deleted many songs in my phone. But I always keep the Linkin Park's song. RIP Chester Bennington.

Recuerdo cuando era niño escuchaba esta música, era un vicio, mi inglés masticado lo hacía posible... y ahora la vuelvo a escuchar en PLENO 2023, Y SINCERAMENTE CREO QUE LA MÚSICA DE ESTE TIPO ERA TAN ESPECIAL, FUE ESPECIAL PARA TODOS EN SU MOMENTO, TANTO ASI QUE CUALQUIERA QUE CONOCIÓ LA BANDA LLORA AHORA AL SABER QUE CHESTER NUNCA MÁS VOLVERÁ A CANTARLA, COMO YO AHORA, UN 04/02/2023. "Sometimes goodbye's the only way"

Linkin Park saved my life.

today should have been chester’s 44th birthday. we all wish he was still here physically, but we are left with his memory and legacy, which will continue forever.

"your fans all plead for you to stay" his could have been the motivation for him to stay.. R.I.P LEGEND BENNINGTON

The sun will set for you Chester Bennington ❤

Chester saved me from something he couldnt save himself from❤r.i.p Chester Bennington❤
