I’m a Linkin Park Fan
Linkin Park is a truly unique band. They are not just Rock, Rap, or Electronica band. They compromise of a veritable mixture of different styles and stylists in music, this makes them a hybrid in the type of music they play and their fan-base too. I am true lover of Linkin Park
Linkin Park’s origin began in 1996 when rapper guitarist Brad Delson and the in famouis Mike Shinoda started a band called Xero. Other members of the band were Mark Wakefield the vocalist, Joseph Hahn the DJ, Rob Bourdon the drummer, and “Phoenix” Farrell the bassist. Xero made a four track demo tape including: Fuse, Stick N’ Move, Rhinestone, and Reading My Eyes.
When Mark Wakefield left the band, they changed their name to Hybrid Theory. Later “Phoenix” chose to leave the band to tour with another band, called “The Snax”. The rest of the gang continued to play together primarily for fun. They later, signed with Zomba Music an occasion that came about
when they played at The Whiskey Club in Los Angeles. The final addition to the band came in the form of Chester Bennington.
Crawling
Magical Chester, in our humble opinion, was absolutely the missing catalyst. His extra-ordinary voice lets him deliver the lyrics at a gentle yet aggressive pace. He can hit pitch notes like no other. Chester humbly even blames this on “years of singing” and “scar tissue”. I absolutely love him.
His arrival completed the Band. Thus in 1999 Carousel, And One, Technique, Step up, High Voltage & Part of me was born as a six track EP, to tremendous applause.
Some legal wrangling made it necessary to change the band’s name. True to their “hybrid’ spirit Linkin Park was chosen. Members drove by Lincoln Park regularly so why not use a similar sounding, unique name. Chester has been recorded to say he wanted a name which was unique, “where the music could define the name rather than the name define the music”. Phoneix pulled a mythical rebirth and rejoined the band fulfilling his destiny. New demos were made and the chase for a record label was on. Warner Records were lucky to hear the music, like it and sign up Linkin Park. A massive page in their history was written.
One Step Closer
Linkin Park released their debut album, Hybrid Theory In October 2000,. Hits like One Step Closer, Crawling, and In the End were born. Hybrid Theory eventually received 8x platinum. Hybrid Theory does not follow a trend set up by a lot of other bands in that it doesn’t contain any curses or swear words. This was because the band wanted to write lyrics honestly and they thought that unnecessary swearing words take away attention from the music. They wanted something that the public could listen to over and over again and enjoy repeatedly. At it’s completion they felt they had achieved this feat with Hybrid Theory.
After Hybrid Theory was released, Linkin Park’s fame permitted them to tour all over the world. They toured with bands like POD, 3 Doors Down, and System of a Down.
In the End
July of 2002, saw LP release the Hybrid Theory Remix album, Reanimation. These remixes included talent from rappers like Black Thought and 20 tracks were cut.
In March of 2003, LP released their 2nd year album, Meteora. This album includes hits like Somewhere I Belong, Numb,, and Faint. Included on Meteora and Reanimation were ground breaking extras. They contained enhanced portions. These parts of the discs included videos and other extra ‘goodies” fans could view on their PC. The band wanted to use technology and let the
fans to see the process of making albums. This helped them share all the “Blood, Sweat and Tears,” they put into making the albums.
What I’ve Done
Linkin Park has won numerous awards including an award at the VMAs. Their popularity has grown world-wide. They are now truly international with a multitude of fans. From their hybrid genres to their non offensive swear-free lyrics, to their use of turntables and samples, Linkin Park covers
a truly versatile ground and provides an entertaining and unique performance

My Fav is:
“Crawling”
[Chorus:]
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
There’s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming/confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling/I can’t seem
[Bridge:]
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take)
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure
[Chorus]
Discomfort,endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting/reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It’s haunting how I can’t seem…
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]

I am not a hard rock person, just like some strong music with loads of guitar and mind blowing lyrics. Leave alone the amazing music, which in itself is a combo of various kinds, the lyrics of Linkin Park makes you think. I love this…. A song to make you realize life…. how rare. It’s no love song. No story telling. Just pure, sensational song, that sings of life and its realities.
I love CRAWLING… its feels like the music crawls into me … and makes me shiver. There is not much to sing (fewer words), and the song is complete. The words ‘crawling in my skin … the wounds will never heal’ so true … so real.
Every song (video) that I have posted has something unique about it. Something , that you’ll find only in these tracks, originality and pain.
Thank you NGS and Seema ji for your appreciation.

One Step Closer
I cannot take this anymore
I’m saying everything I’ve said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you’ll say
But you’ll find that out anyway
Just like before…
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I’m one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I find the answers aren’t so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Chorus
Shut up when I’m talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up (2x)
I’m about to break!
Chorus

Numb
I’m tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don’t know what you’re expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
[Chorus]
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I’m becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can’t you see that you’re smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
[Chorus]
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I’m becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
[Chorus]
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I’m becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
[Chorus]
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
I’m tired of being what you want me to be
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
I’m tired of being what you want me to be

What I’ve done lyrics
In this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no alibi
Coz I’ve drawn regret
From the truth
Of thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away
[chorus]
What I’ve done
I face myself
To cross-out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done
Put to rest
What you’ve thought of me
Well I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty
So let mercy come
And wash away
[chorus]
What I’ve done
I face myself
To cross-out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done
For what I’ve done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
Im forgiving what I’ve done
I face myself
To cross-out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done
What I’ve done
What I’ve done
Forgiving what I’ve done

In The End lyrics
(It starts with)
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I’ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I’ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
