The song that most makes me tear up is from a game. I like to get Immersed in characters I play as. Be it a roleplay or game character. 1 of the games I got really deep into is Armored Core 4. And the very last mission was especially emotional for me as I had to do something I would have never imagined, nor wanted to do. As I fought the unthinkable fight, it was nothing but raw emotion for me as the music played on. The song Fall - Into the Grace (Seed a Barren Earth) still gives me goosebumps and tears as I remember what all Joshua taught me. And even though I fought on, there was nothing but loss in that battle no matter the outcome. Everything lost in an instant that felt like forever. It both haunts me and pushes me forward. A reminder that no matter what we do, all our efforts will 1 day be undone. Its about the moment and leaving an impression. All castles are bound to crumble. Whats remembered is all that ever remains

Fail. There's a lot of stretching being done to make these connections and I'm not here for it. Except for that One More Light by Linkin Park for me is a direct reference to addressing how depression may lead someone to feeling like people don't care about them when people actually do, and the fact that it came out so near both Chester's and Chris Cornell's deaths from depression makes it a more seemingly direct reference. That's really the only suggestion I could come up with that would have made this list better for me. There are so many tragic musician deaths whose songs could fit that these just seem too random and a stretch. But to each his own

There are several songs of Linkin Park that make me cry, i love all their songs but the one song that made me cry a lot besides One More Light was Shadow of The Day. The day Chester died the radio Dj was playing a lot of their songs on the radio so when this song was about to play the Dj said and now the Arizona sun sets for Chester and i just started bawling my eyes out. Linkin Park has been my favorite band my whole life and they still are, no one can replace them. I still consider it unbelievable that i got to see and meet them twice in 1 year, was the best birthday gift ever.

Kinda shocked to see Floating in the Forth on here as an honorable mention. Love Frightened Rabbit and it's a shame how blantantly obvious all the signs were there and he took his life in the exact same manner as the song suggests. Scott had such unbelievably raw and realistic lyrics of heartbreaks that you can't just get over. The accent can take some getting used to, but I honestly feel like they were one of the greatest indie rock bands from the late 2000s/early 2010s. I definitely recommend listening to Midnight Organ Fight, but all their records are great imo.

The song that comes to my mind is Nights That Won’t Happen by Purple Mountains. It’s a song that ruminates on what happens after death, asking whether you remain present in the physical realm, or if you’re truly gone and nothing exists for you. It’s a morose song to begin with, and just a couple months after it was released David Berman, the man who wrote it, sadly took his own life. The song goes from being a morbid hypothetical, to feeling like staring into a void where there once was a person. It breaks my heart every time.

Queen’s Who Wants to Live Forever’ breaks my heart every time I hear it. Not only because of Freddie Mercury’s death, but because Queen was my mom’s favorite band, and she loved that song. I played it for her in hospice. Also, Pretty Noose’ by Soundgarden is difficult to listen to after Chris’ death for obvious reasons. And pretty much just about any song from Joy Division’s Closer’ cuts deep, because Ian basically chronicled all of the thoughts going through his mind leading up to his suicide.

'Hey Jealousy' - Gin Blossoms.
The Song outlines songwriter Doug Hopkins desire to get back with his ex-girlfriend, who had left him because of his drinking and cheating. He was later fired from the band for his drinking before the album it was on was released. When the single eventually became successful and he was given a gold record for it, he hung it up for two weeks before taking it down and then destroying it. Nine days later he purchased a pistol. The next day he took his own life.

For not only being a Linkin Park diehard fan does this get a like, but for using Chester as the clipart brings me joy. I've missed Chester since the day he passed. I lost two of my closest friends to suicide after Chester passed ( all three of us considered ourselves LPU Soldiers) and I found both of them. Not a day goes by I don't think of Chester and my two best friends. I sure as shit haven't been the same since

I still tear up everytime I hear 'Like A Stone'. Audioslave was how I learned about Chris Cornell. And his loss still hurts. Audioslave and the Foo Fighters were the soundtrack to my high school years, so when Chris Cornell passed. Just even when Taylor Hawkins passed in 2022 I teared up. But like Chris Cornell. The last time I watched the music video for Like A Stone i was fully crying.

Freebird is what a drunken, stoned, all night jam session of And Your Bird Can Sing morphed into by daylight. The slide, the melody, the lyrics and the basic point of the songs match close enough to be derivative. It's undeniable that one is inspired by the other, and we know which one came first. Also, Freebird is the only Beatle-ish Skynyrd song. Everything else is country rock.

I actually wasn't surprised at all when Bennington took his life because of how sad his lyrics often were. I had always hoped I was misreading them but when it happened, I sort of called it. While I didn't care for most of their catalog after Minutes. the guy was incredibly talented by as they say, sometimes it's difficult to see your own talent or good.

The Show Must Go On always hit me hard in multiple ways. Not only because Freddie kept his AIDS diagnosis under wraps, but because of my own journey as an AuDHD person dealing with PTSD and multiple addictions and having to mask so much of my pain as I go through life.
He always wrote such relatable songs that resonated with me. May he rest in peace.

Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda both wrote the lyrics for the linkin park songs. I know it gets lost cause of how the lyrics take a whole new meaning now that Chester is gone. But that band is my favorite of all time, without them I’m not here. Love you Chester lucky to have met you and take pic with you at lpu meet and greet. 320

Ozzy Osbourne - Ordinary Man
He knows his time is coming soon and jokes about not knowing how he's still alive. But it feels like personal a goodbye song from the Prince of Darkness. Even tho it makes me sad when I listen to it, it also makes me appreciate the legacy he's leaving behind for us and future generations.

Honestly, there's so many Linkin Park songs that could be on this list. One More Light came out only a few months before Chester passed away, and it had the lyrics Who cares if one more light goes out Well I do.
The whole song was so emotional that people sang along with it. We will never forget you Chester.

In all honesty, LINKIN PARK probably saved so many teenagers in my generation due to the lyrics. He helped a lot of of us with stress and finding our own. But looking at the songs now he was telling us he was depressed and we just couldn’t see it. He saved so many of us but couldn’t save himself.

Hurt by Johnny Cash was very depressing due to the singers failing health and all the fancy things used in the music video showed that no matter how successful we are, our lives will end at some point. The sad look on June Carter-Cash's face always made me think that she knew the end was near for a legend.

Garth Brooks would finish concerts by singing If Tomorrow Never Comes. It is a pledge of undying love, fidelity and the promise that his wife would always know that he loved her. Alas, that marriage did not last. It makes me cry when I remember that those beautiful words, ended up being only words.

Britney Spears' EVERYTIME. For so long everyone thought it was a song about Justin Timberlake. It wasn't until recently, with her autobiography that the real message of the song came out.
Listening to it now, with it's new context, is very very different to when I listened to it before.

Actually Given Up would've been a better fit for the list, than Leave Out All The Rest. Given Up was when a lot of us fans were really worried about him. We got scared for him. After Mike heard it, he got really scared for his friend/brother and camped out at Chaz's house for two weeks.
