i am not ok... not at all | Vocal Coach Reaction to NEW Linkin Park "Lost"

The overwhelming feelings with this one… 😭😭😭 RIP Chester. I am so thankful to get to hear this song and at the same time it hurts anew…

A man who saved millions, but millions couldn't save him ... RIP a true legend and a saviour Chester Bennington!! Lost but NEVER forgotten

Chester was the voice of pain. He was the vocal embodiment of despair and loss. He gave us all a voice in times when we needed it, and ultimately lost his fight - but he saved the rest of us. He was a martyr of a generation.

It's impossible to watch without crying. RIP Chester. Your voice is always alive

I don't think it is posible to keep it together if Chester and Linkin Park meant something to you like it has for many of us. Thank you for sharing. Please stay safe everyone.

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.

We could make an ocean with the tears fallen for Chester. He was one of a kind. No one will ever get close to match him.

the reason this sounds like an older linkin park song is because it was, this was a song that was made to be on the meteora album (2003) but was ultimately cut from the album because of its similarities with Numb. So they released it now as part of the 20 year anniversary of the album. The nostalgia from the instruments, the vocals, the song structure, all of it hits like a truck, and it will be a long time before I can listen to this song without tearing up

"But I'm tired..." This hit me right between the eyes because this is exactly how I feel even though I try to be strong. Every time I hear Chester sing that words, it almost sounds like he himself is close to tears and that I can understand because it always brings me to tears.

Chester and Linkin Park gave a voice to a generation that felt voiceless. Someone stated "one man saved millions, but millions couldn't save the one man." Hearing this new song is a gift you think you lost. Brings a smile until you realize it's probably the last one from them.

"But I'm tired" hit me so hard too. I was choking up from the first note and sobbing by the end. It feels like he's reaching out to us from beyond the grave, confessing how he felt for so long before passing on.

Let's be honest here, he had one of the best, if not the best voice of all time. We were all lucky to hear him

It's weird. I didnt think I would get emotional the first time I heard it, because those feelings dont really shoot out like that from Crawling, Breaking the Habit and so on. The meaning and emotion I get from a song, USUALLY happens after I can digest it more fully, but as soon as I heard his voice, it just hit me. The context of something new, made it all so real again. He is gone. And I miss him. Suffering from depression myself, its so easy to get into the mindset of someone else suffering from it. The words mean so much, and they hit so hard.

Don’t apologize we are all feeling it right now.

This hit me like a sledgehammer. Tears rolling down my face. Lyrics so raw and honest. I truly understand his pain as both a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and a recovering alcoholic. I miss you Chester. Just broken right now 😢

The first song I ever remember hearing was Breaking The Habit on the radio when I was about 3-4 (born in 2000). My mom had their CDs and I honestly don't remember a day without listening to Linkin Park. I basically only listened to Linkin Park until I was about 13. This band was so engrained into me that, to me, losing Chester was like losing a family member. Lost has been so refreshing.

As a 90s kid this just hits in ya in the heart and can't help but get emotional

We got the breakdown. Both of them. And it's fine. You do a lovely breakdown of technique, but the emotional breakdown shows how much you love music and how much emotion Linkin Park put in that music. And that IS why I'm here. You make sure YOU are ok.

I was crying with you the entire time, Linkin Park was my childhood. I never imagined I’d hear his voice again in any new music. Hearing Chester’s voice again and remembering that he’s gone has been super hard, but I’m so grateful that he still lives on through his music. Huge props to Linkin Park for releasing this song and thank you for such a raw reaction to this song. Sending you virtual hugs ❤️❤️

The fact that this song is back from the Meteora album but they decided not to ship the album with this song is bittersweet. We get the emotions of listening to it now in the wake of his passing, but it's also easy to see looking back the amount of hurt and distress in his lyrics and singing style. He will never be forgotten, as Linkin Park was single-handedly responsible for the raising and shaping of practically an entire generation, and their reach touched hundreds of millions worldwide. We all miss him, and the only recourse we get is the fact that they still have songs to release, and we still have Mike to carry on the legacy and history a little bit. We love and miss you, Chester. Your pain has helped so many, and it always will.
