(Linkin Park - Heavy (2017))
How do you feel when you are trapped in your own mind?
How do you feel when you can't stop time?
Do you feel like you are struggling with yourself?
Three questions that the following song raised for me...
A song released by the band we all know Linkin Park with a big boost in the band's success in the 2000s, where they become one with the world through their songs. A mix of emotions and excitement in each of their songs.
These three questions came to me and were presented while listening to the song "Heavy”. Το “Heavy” of Linkin Park released on February 17, 2017, from the album “One More Light” (May 19, 2017) released three months after it was released as a single.
The track is the first on the album and features his vocals. Chester Charles Bennington όπου τον συνοδεύει στα φωνητικά η Kiiara (Singer, Songwriter).
The song refers to inner struggle, anxiety, and the feeling that things are "weighing" more than they should. When you get lost in your mind and trapped in your chaotic thoughts, the Chester had exactly that feeling, and that is why the lyrics were written before the music in several places, as an expression of personal feelings.
I don’t like my mind right now
Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary
Wish that I could slow things down
Do these lyrics remind you of my questions?
Maybe...
This particular piece was a "mirror" of ChesterAs he had stated, he struggled daily with his thoughts, describing his mind as a "bad neighborhood" where he would not want to walk. He had helped many people with his songs, his lyrics, and based on this particular song, he expresses everything that every person around us receives "inside."
For the “Heavy” A video clip has been created starring them. Chester and Kiiara face their "double" versions. The Chester joins a support group and eventually finds comfort in KiiaraWith a message that perfectly combines lyrics and emotion, it is a representation of emotional support and coping with personal burdens.
Why is everything so heavy?
