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.
-
I know it’s a cover, but Johnny Cash’s version of “Hurt” gets me every time.
-
Agree with Chester being the most tragic, but the song should've been Heavy or One More Light😢
-
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.
-
Thanks to Chester's suicide, listening to ANY of the Linkin Park songs is a challenge when you finally realize what the lyrics were about.
-
“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.
-
honorable mention: You know you’re right by Nirvana. Kurt Cobain’s last recorded song and just listen closely to the lyrics
-
As someone who still battles with depression, Numb still hits differently.
-
Freddie, Michael, Chester… They may have died, but their music and spirit still lives on. LEGENDS NEVER DIE. ❤
-
Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell were the hardest goodbyes i have ever face and my deepest regret was never being able to see them live or in person.
-
The story behind Eric Clapton's "Tear In Heaven" makes it an impossible listen for me.
-
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.
-
"The Show Must Go On"... Hearing of Freddie Mercury's death was a huge punch to the solar plexus... That man had the most iconic voice in music and he died way, way too young.
-
Mac Miller - self care ( “ like September I fall “) , Tupac - so many tears, Johnny cash “ hurt”
-
Chester's death is the only celebrity death I ever cried over and actually mourned. Words can't describe what their music meant to me.
-
My youngest son took his own life in 2018. Shortly after his funeral I started my car and Leave Out All the Rest was just starting on the radio and it just felt like something my son would say to all of us he left behind. To this day I get tears when I hear it.
-
When I think of Skynyrd’s last concert: “If I leave here tomorrow will you still remember me?” is chilling to contemplate.
-
"So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself, and I Didn't know I was lost" (Avicii)
-
"Beautiful Boy" with John Lennon anticipating seeing his son grow up.
