"Sometimes solutions aren't so simple.. Sometimes goodbye's the only way" I'm crying...

In November 2014 I stood with my 17 year old son and watched LP play this song live. 3 months later he was diagnosed with leukaemia, and 8 months after that he died in my arms aged 18. I had this song played at his funeral. Sometimes goodbye's the only way. Miss you son. Miss you Chester.

I’m here reading the comments and it’s so special how people still remembering him after all this time. Rest in peace, Chester. You still rock

15 years and I’m still here. Nobody let this song fade!

Heaven just got a lot louder.

A thousand suns will set for you, Chester

Who's watching in 2024 ? I leave my comment here so that when someone I know happens to leave a "like" I will be notified and reminded that I must listen to these works of art

Jan 2024 who's here?

This song is 10 times harder to listen to now...Rip

'Sometimes solutions aren't so simple Sometimes goodbye's the only way' R.I.P. Chester Bennington

If you're hurting...I feel you. You're not alone. Ever.

This song is underrated

"A man only dies when he is forgotten" -Kamina

this linkin park song is sooo underrated. Can't understand why

Happy Birthday Chester. It's been 7 years without you.

A father, a husband, a friend, a musician, a role model, a legend, now A SHADOW OF THE DAY. NO ONE SCEAM LIKE YOU ANYMORE 😢RIP Chester

First time the death of an artist touch me like that...

I'm here because I can't shake the sadness at Chester's passing. His voice has comforted me so many times.

"Sometimes goodbye's the only way." Those lyrics hit so hard after Chester died that I couldn't listen to this song for a long time. But this has and will always be my #1 Linkin Park song. I'm glad I've been able to listen to it again. ❣

Du hast so vielen Menschen aus der Seele gesprochen. Du warst ein Guter auf dieser Welt. Wir vermissen Dich Chester!

My daughter was born to this song 9 years ago.She was an emergency c section and in the OR they were playing the radio and this song came on.I literally heard her first cries to this song..RIP Chester Bennington 🌹

"Sometimes goodbye's the only way" . RIP Chester.

Unfortunately, I (58 years old) have only just discovered Linkin Park. When my kids used to listen to Linkin Park, I guess I wasn't ready for it. Linkin Park touches my heart and soul. RIP Chester.😭

These lyrics are so important to remember. A new day will come. Don't make a permanent decision about a temporary problem. I am very much struggling with this.

4 years later, JULY 20th, 2021. MY heart still cannot handle this loss. Rock in Peace Chester.

The sun will set for you, Chester. 🕊

38 years old and i'm crying listening again to this song after years... Linkin Park is music therapy ❤

He made these songs for us... while he was suffering from his own demons. Thank you for everything chester, you deserve to be free.

The fact that a lot of people my age got introduced to Linkin Park when we were children and still listen to them to this day speaks volumes. It's gonna be hard listening to his voice now knowing he's gone

Rest in Peace Chester Bennington, you will be missed.

“Your friends all plead for you to stay.” This hit different for anyone else

I was just 24 when "Shadow of the Day" came out in 2007, and it's a song that will forever hold a special place in my heart. That year, my older brother tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident. He was always the one I looked up to, the person who guided me through life's ups and downs. The lyrics of this song resonated with me during those dark days, as I struggled to come to terms with my brother's sudden departure. The line "Sometimes solutions aren't so simple, sometimes goodbye's the only way" hit especially hard. I found solace in Chester's voice and the raw emotion he conveyed, giving a voice to the pain I was feeling inside. Now, whenever I listen to "Shadow of the Day," it serves as a reminder of my brother's love, his laughter, and the way he lived his life to the fullest. It's been more than a decade, but the song still brings a tear to my eye, while also providing me with a sense of comfort. I'm grateful to Linkin Park for creating a song that has helped me through the most challenging time of my life, and I know there are countless others who have found solace in their music as well. Rest in peace, my beloved brother, and to Chester Bennington, two beautiful souls gone too soon. Your memories and your music will live on forever.

A true tragedy, and loss for us all. A bit of everyone's childhood has died too. Rest in peace you amazing man, Chester Bennington.

crying my eyes out. RIP Chester. You saved so many with your music. I wish it could have saved you too.

This Song is one of the most beautiful songs Linkin Park had ever written and nowadays 6 years after the loss of Chester this song is even sadder Chester you are missed

You are still remembered in 2024 Chester:) now and forever 😢

The way I think about it... Chester never died, he simply became music. Thank you Chester. The power of your words will always live on.

RIP......THE SUN WILL SET FOR YOU

this is heartbreaking

"The sun will set for you" give me energy to keep fighting against depresion that I have ... To have optimistic paradigm that I will stay alive ...

ONE OF MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS EVER MADE

I think it is crazy about how many people came to this song again, I wonder how many people came to this song just to cry their face out just like me listening to this song over and over again. I love Linkin Park and I love everyone that loves them as much as I do. Omg I can barley see the keyboard right now I'm crying too much. Rip Chester I love you and you will always remain in my heart.

This is another unique song from Linkin Park and it should have more views too. Chester put his soul in all their songs. Him and his band mates were meant to make great music for all us music lovers and depressed people.

If anybody from Linkin Park reads this comment, I just want to let y’all know that your music will never die. You guys helped shape a lot of lives my own included, I’ve been listening to you guys since I was a baby. It’s been nearly 6 years since Chester left us, and despite all of the hardship and tragedy everyone went through, your guys’ music was there, being listened to, helping everyone through tough times. He may have left us all alone down here, but I’m sure he’s happy up there wherever he is, because he left behind one hell of a legacy. Thank you for your time and I hope everyone is doing okay.

This song hurts more now. It was never an easy song for me to hear, but knowing that Chester is gone makes it hurt worse. RIP Chester. I hope heaven is good to you.

"Sometimes goodbye's the only way", Rest in Peace Chester :(

"Sometimes solutions aren't so simple" How deep is this phrase

Two decades later still hits like it's the first time listening.. Iconic, legendary, one in a million. Thank you Chester!

Even though the sun has set for you, your voice carries on, through us and through the legacy you've left behind. Rest in peace my friend...

I cant listen to this and not cry. This song helped me come to terms with my divorce which was such a dark time for me. Thank you Linkin Park...Chester I guarantee you are more missed than you ever thought possible.

I've grown tired of the endless cycle of suffering, this song puts things so perfectly for us battling our demons. Some of us ultimately pull the trigger when we've had enough. I fear that my time is now. It's bittersweet with a sprinkle of melancholy happiness; finality to this endless suffering. By no longer breathing, I can finally breathe. Sometimes goodbye is the only way.

I'm 28 years old now but Chester saved me all through high school. will never forget the impact his music had on my life. RIP love xx

There is a very dark shadow over the day today for millions of people. RIP Chester.

Goodbye Chester 😩. Thank you so much for making my childhood awesome

GREAT singer and GREAT HUMAN BEING.

March 20, 1976 - March 20, 2023. You would have been 47 years old today. Rest in peace from where you stand, Chester the legend. We will never forget you. 🙏😓

You got me through the darkest times, I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you...

This is one the most underrated LP-Songs ever. Its just great.

3:24 🤟

I remember listening this song everyday after coming from school, I also performed this song on the farewell day of my school. Rest In Peace Chester. Love from India🇮🇳

I've never felt like this before, chester is not just artist. He's a hero.

sometimes solutions aren't so simple, sometimes goodbye is the only way :( rest in peace, dear chester

R.I.P. Chester Bennington

The lyrics are so intense today. RIP Chester.

Wherever you are now Chester may you feel peace bro. 😞RIP

15 years ago, still hurts. damn. Rest in peace Chester🥀

The one song I add to every playlist I ever make. Any genre, any era, any mood.

And so suddenly we realise that perhaps Chester was struggling for years and perhaps these lyrics were too close to home. The sun didn't have to set for you Chester, but in doing so you've made so many speak out about their battles. Thank you for your music and your life. The lessons you've given are invaluable.

"Sometimes Goodbye's the only way" 💔 You will forever be missed.

I listened to this song about 15 years ago and am still coming back to it today.

Life is cruel. Crying out from your soul and no body can hear.

R.I.P Chester. such a phenomenal and life changing band. i'm sorry

Damn. What a fucking bummer. We may joke and take the piss out of Linkin Park nowadays, whether for the new sound or laughing at how we were angsty little shits back when we listened to them everyday, but they really meant a lot. A little bit of a story, I was at this shoot. I didn't work on it, I wasn't an extra, I had nothing to do with it, I just was fortunate enough to be able to visit the set. I was back then, real young, like before highschool young. And LP were the first band I had ever really fallen in love with, enough to follow and learn about. The first band I got made fun of for loving. The first band I stood up for. And I can remember meeting Chester there and talking with him, not just for a couple minutes, but for like 30-40 while they were setting up and taking a break. And maybe it wasn't really a back and forth, me some young dumb kid, but I remember how happy Chester was to stay and talk with me, to answer any questions and just tell me things. Where was this guy I looked up to and respected massively, and he was. happy to talk to me for however long I needed. He had the time and he gave it to me. And then a few months later I was lucky enough to see them and I got close enough to the stage so that during one point in the set he saw me and came over and waved to say hey. He remembered me. One more fan in tens of thousands, and he remembered. This sounds like I'm trying to make myself out as special, that's not what this is, this is me saying how cool Chester was. A dude who remembered you and wanted to talk to fans and turn them from fans to friends. I just got lucky. I'm sure there are tons of others with similar stories, that seemed like the sort of guy he was, a genuine person. I may not listen to them anymore, I'm sure many people don't who used to love them, they were a certain sound for a certain time. But goddamn were they an important sound for us at that time. A sound that said you weren't alone in this shitty situation. So maybe, for us who grew up with them reinventing and playing an important part in the sound of early 2000's, the new stuff isn't great, but maybe that's because it's not for us. Perhaps their reinventions were for the kids who came after us, the kids who needed their own version of the stuff we had, not with angsty vocals and guitars, but with pop and such. And for those kids, maybe those new albums are as important as Hybrid and Meteora were for us. I mean shit, if Stormzy has respect for them, that's gotta mean their new sound is doing something right. This has all gone on longer then I meant it to when I started writing it, but I guess in writing it I'm realizing how important they really were for me, even after all this time - hell, I should have already know the way me and friends were drunkenly get hyped when these old bangers came on in a club. I guess this is all just to say, thank you Chester, thank you for making Linkin Park such an important part of our lives. I'll miss you man

I could listen to this every single day of my life and never get tired of it

Never realised this song was about his first suicide attempt, the lyrics hit all the more harder now that’s he’s no longer with us.

"Sometimes goodbye is the only way... and the sun will set for you." Lyrics are so intense. Rest in peace Chester Bennington. Thank you for all the beautiful songs.

Their greatest song in my opinion.

A Typical Chester Bennington Day

Chester had the best vocal ability any artist could ever have period.

I hate your eternal sun has set for you Chester may you have found Cornell and happiness...your music saved me through divorce, depression, drug recovery, battling cancer 7 years so I will see you soon but Im glad for the music you left..I wasn't prepaird for you to leave first

RIP Chester. Don't be ashamed to feel down, talk about it, get help, fight it as hard as you can before it's too late.

Hey Chester, thank you for uplifting a generation from sadness and depression. We love you and miss you! I hope you have found eternal peace and comfort because you deserve it man! ❤

Chester saved me from something he couldnt save himself from❤r.i.p Chester Bennington❤

" Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple. Sometimes GOODBYE'S the only way"

childhood memories... omg

Sometimes goodbye is the only way 😢 Love you Chester. Gone but not forgotten ❤

This song is so underrated... One of my favorites

It's been 4 years. Gone but not forgotten. We miss you Chester.

The message this video is trying to conceive is that all around us is constant violence and dangers of real life, gang crimes, police brutality, animal cruelty, race wars, etc., and the fact that Chester is shown walking through it all without so much of a single blink of an eye comes to show how all of us have grown so used to this everyday lifestyle that we are all living in, that we simply walk by it all without a single spark of sympathy come up in our minds. People are always quick to blame society for all the world's problems, but what most of us don't realize, is that we ARE society. There's nobody else to blame but ourselves..

He is my favorite personality ever

hits diffrent on this horrible times...rip chester

" In 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" RIP Chester Bennington.

Chester, you broke my heart. The sun has set for you, dear. We will keep you in our hearts forever.

Я сквозь слезы пишу это.. Честер... Просто спасибо тебе что ты был с нами рядом. Ты сделал так много для нас! Ты навсегда в моем разбитом сердце... Завтра 6 лет как тебя нет с нами Честер... Я верю, что ты счастлив знать что мы любим тебя... ❤

Minutes to midnight one of my favorite CDs from Chester, Bennington and Linkin park

i'm crying

Hey chester I know you can't read this but I'm going to tell you that I love you, you saved me when I was lonely, when nobody support me, It's been 5 years since you gone and I miss you, I miss Linkin Park, I miss listen your songs, I miss everything of you, I really do. I hope you can get what you deserved wherever you go. I Love you Chester Thank you for everything

1 man saved a million lives, but 1 million couldn't save 1. RIP Chester. We love you hope you have found peace

Thank you Chester, your not forgotten

RIP Chester, the sun has set for you, but you will never be forgotten. Enjoy the peace you have now, I'm so sorry you felt like you had nobody there. PLEASE talk to someone, anyone if you have depression problems. As a person with clinical depression and Spina Bifida just having someone there to listen is more powerful than any advice in the world.
