I came to the off-topic cafe today to talk about some feels I'm having right now, but then I saw this post and since it's related I'm just posting here. I found out about Chester about 45 minutes after the news stories were posted online. Linkin Park has been one of my favorite groups for over 10 years now, and I always felt really connected to their music. I like how it evolved with me, first as an angsty teenager and then later as they mellowed out. Out of the various Pandora stations I have, I listen to my Linkin Park one the most. I'm listening to it right now. But when Heavy came on just a few songs ago it really hit me. I've heard the song dozens of times at least, but this specific time it just overwhelmed me. People ask how he could do it, or why, but it's not hard to understand if you really listen to his songs. I'm sure a lot of people can understand. Linkin Park is easy to connect with, especially for people that have those kinds of feeling. People that are depressed, or anxious, or just don't feel like they are good enough.
Normally at this point I'd apologize for killing the mood, but given the topic of the thread i don't feel that it's necessary.
