That idea is expressed clearly in ' Heavy,' the duet between Bennington and Kiiara having a key meaning for the record. It's about realizing you're not alone, no matter who you are. One More Light isn't about saving yourself on your own, however. The chorus comes in even darker, Bennington saying that he is beyond anyone's help: " But nobody can save me now / I'm holding up a light / I'm chasing up the darkness inside." The ending shifts tone with a single word, Bennington now stating that " only I can save me now," meaning the only person left to help him is himself. The very first lyrics on the record are " I'm dancing with my demons / I'm hanging off the edge / Storm clouds gather beneath me" as Bennington explains that he has been pushed to the very edge. Everything about it has a generally positive tone to it: the gentle affected vocal intro, the sweet guitar work by Brad Delson, the wavering synths, and Chester Bennington's melodies all have a happy tone to them, but when you look at the lyrics, you can see the opposite is true about the song. That idea is exactly how One More Light begins, the upbeat tone of ' Nobody Can Save Me' being largely deceiving. When you are drowning in an abyss of sadness, often times what you will do is mask your sorrow with unwavering optimism. Instead of defending or opposing the sound, I'll provide a question, so you can answer yourself: at what point does genre equate to quality? That is to say, when does the style of music deem how good or bad a song is? What is really important in a song? Once you've answered these questions, be prepared to tackle a whole world of sounds that is available to you. Since the release of the album's lead single, the band has been receiving a lot of flack for the poppier approach to the new music. With the help of some of music's best writers, Linkin Park reminds us that we are all human in One More Light.īefore discussing the impact of the record's message, the sound has to be addressed. On their new record, they focussed on the lyrics which were born out of conversations they had with each other about life.
This band has faced it all, been through thick and thin, and don't want us all falling down to the places they did. That's where Linkin Park comes in with their new album. It can be hard, however, to say the thousands of thoughts in your mind when you have so few words to explain them with. Sometimes the best way to heal ourselves when we find ourselves drowning is to have a conversation. At some point, they envelop us, and take us to places where all the light is gone. We are so wrapped up in the world and the problems that others face that we forget about our own, leaving them to grow and fester as we continue to neglect them.
