Linkin Park

Recently i bought Linkin Park latest album. "Minutes to Midnight"
Out of 12 tracks... i could say 80% of their songs are definately great.
And yes!!! They are in my MP3.

Well... this also means that i'd rate 4/5 to their album "Minutes to Midnight"

But i'll just introduce 2 of their songs which i find it quite interesting.

"For Greater Hearings/Feelings, do blast it with your speakers or put on Earpiece"

Leave out all the rest

Lyrics

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
'Cause no one else cared.

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here?

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest, leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shed but I'm me

I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed.

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest, leave out all the rest.

Forgetting all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come
And save me from myself
I can't be who you are
(I can't be who you are)

=================================================

Well, i personally quote out a few parts of their lyrics which i find it quite meaningful to share.

"What am I leaving, When I'm done here?
So if you're asking me, I want you to know.

When my time comes, Forget the wrong that I've done. Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed and don't resent me.

When you're feeling empty, keep me in your memory and leave out all the rest, leave out all the rest.

Don't be afraid, I've taken my beating, I've shed, but I'm me.
I'm strong on the surface, Not all the way through.
I've never been perfect But neither have you."

After hearing and learning the lyrics... i then realised that this song actually meant like leaving down a will* to tell your love ones to help leave behind some reasons to miss you, and if they're feeling empty, just keep you in their memory.

Shadow of the day

Lyrics

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

Pink cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

=================================================

For this "Shadow of the day" i personally find it another way round of the first one i've introduced. Its from this part:

Pink cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

Which made me felt as if, you're telling the person who had left us that, friends all had pleaded for you to stay, thou beginnings aren't so simple, but sometimes goodbye's the only way. "The sun will set for you and the shadow of the day will embrace the world in grey(shows to me that you'll always be remembered or missed)"

Extra Bonus from me...

Hands held high

"Hands held high" is one song which i only find 2 "F" words been read out.

Do check it out.

All the above 3 songs i've introduced... Were songs that i believed most listeners would most likely prefer to "Feel" when the Music flows. It consist of "Rock, Pop, Smooth" Genre feels.

Comparing their latest album with the past, it seems this one's more on the pessimistic side of life, or should i say, more onto the humane side, rather then hating the world...

Last but not least, did you remember to blast your speaker or put on earpiece to hear it?

Trust me, It sounds very different with a normal speaker compared to an Earpiece.
(By the way, i'm using an iPod earpiece.)

After listening to all, It sure feels great for me... How about you?
