The song that, due to Chester, will no longer be played by Linkin Park

The song published in 2017 has a melancholy letter that many believed concern the singer, something new denied by Mike Shinoda

One of the greatest mistakes in a part of the fans of Linkin Park It is to propagate that the text of the latest album with Chester Benningon, Another light (2017), showed signs of what would happen to the singer. He took his life in July of that year, two months after the album release.

The error lies in something simple: Bennington has just participated in the compositions is credited as the author of only two of the 10 working songs, “Heavy” AND “Halfway”. Most of the creation of another light were under the responsibility of co-consumption and the multi-instrumentalist Mike Shinodawith especially the guitarist Brad Delson and external collaborators. And, according to Shinoda Reports, the texts do not even concern Chester.

However, the misleading perception remained. And reaches the point that the current formation of the group has cut the song “Another light”who appoints the 2017 album of their shows. The melancholy song will never be played, according to Mike Shinoda.

In an interview with The Guardian (through the Igor Miranda website), the artist said he would be “strange” to perform his live and other tracks fall into the same category. In this regard, he said:

“[Compusemos originalmente ‘One More Light’] For a woman of the label we worked with, who died. After the death of Chester, the world thought it was on him. And this makes it too sad to touch it. “

The true origin of “One More Light” from Linkin Park

The employee of the label in question was Amy ZaretExecutive of Warner Bros recorded deceased in 2015 due to cancer. Its composition is attributed to Shinoda in collaboration with For example white. In an interview with Kerrang!, At the moment, he said:

“We had a friend who had worked for the record label for a long time and who had been with us for many years. He started with the radio promotion and basically took us to the local radio in the Midwest in the United States. It was promoted. At a certain point, I heard that he had cancer-and he suddenly died. We were dead. We knew we had to write on what happened. It is more important than doing with the people you love and you remember They.”

Homage resigned to Chester Bennington

Three months after the death of Chester Benningon – and five after the album Another light After leaving – The song was published as a promotional single. The idea was to pay homage to the singer. In a statement, Shinoda said at the moment:

“‘Another light’ It was composed of the intention to send love to those who lost someone. Now we meet on the other side. In memories, works of art, video and images, fans around the world have connected to this song seeing it as a declaration of love and support for the band and the memory of our dear friend, Chester. We are immensely grateful. “
