Song of the Moment XLIX: Linkin Park’s “Somewhere I Belong”

Last month, I decided to listen to only 1 favorite band on Spotify indefinitely: Linkin Park. And this week I will listen to all their albums chronologically.

Tonight, while I was at my favorite spot Satchmi, I listened to the entirety of Linkin Park’s magnum opus Hybrid Theory and several tracks of the remix album Reanimation. I finished the latter while I was on my way home. After coming home, I started listening to the 2nd studio album Meteora, and after “Somewhere I Belong” I had to pause and write this post. Why? The song’s chorus screams what I’m feeling right now.

I wanna heal, I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long
(Erase all the pain ’til it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

Song of the Moment XXX: Foo Fighters’ “Normal”

As I’m typing this, it’s 11pm and I’m having a short break from photocopying service reports. I know… that sounds boring. But at least it pays the bills. My Mother slash boss told me I could continue photocopying tomorrow, but I wanted to finish the task tonight.

Anyway, I opened my Spotify, checked my liked songs, pressed the shuffle button, and then the play button. What’s the 1st song I hear? A Foo Fighters deep cut, “Normal”. The ballad can be found in one of the Foos’ Foo Files EPs, “00020225”, and its lyrics – especially the chorus – are some of the most profound lines about longing for someone and turning things around.

Will you come out tonight?
Will you back down, will you put up a fight?
Turn me around and make everything right
Make me normal from now on

Foo Fighters’ “Normal”

Speaking of longing, now I’m reminded of someone. (I’m not going to mention who.) I changed my mind about listening on shuffle; now I just want to listen to “Normal” on repeat tonight.

Foo Fighters’ “Normal”, from the Foo Files EP “00020225”.

That is all.

Song of the Moment XXIX: Linkin Park’s “One More Light”

Today was a productive day for me. I sent some repair proposals, ordered some materials needed for tomorrow, and went to the bank. And tonight I feel tired and in a mellow mood. What is my Song of the Moment this time? It’s “One More Light”, the last single of Linkin Park with vocalist Chester Bennington.

I don’t think I have mentioned this in The Diary, but Linkin Park is one of my top 5 favorite bands ever and Chester Bennington is one of my top 3 singers ever. Linkin Park’s songs have been an integral part of my teenage years (and beyond that) and they give me catharsis and comfort. “One More Light” is no exception.

If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In the sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone’s time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do

Rest in peace, Chester. We miss you.
