Linkin Park Singer Chester Bennington On In Pieces "I Got Divorced Recently And That Was Very Difficult. I Also Got Remarried So There Was A Big Contrast In My Life. For A While I Couldn't Be Completely Happy With The New Life I Was Starting And I Couldn't End The Last One. This Is A Song About All Of That." 2.THE LITTLE THINGS YOU GIVE AWAY
This Song Deals With The Aftermath Of Hurricane Katrina And Its Effect On The City Of New Orleans. The Band Finished This Song After Visiting New Orleans After The Hurricane Hit. Thanks Bronte - Wrexham Wales This Is One Of The Few Linkin Park Songs With A Guitar Solo. Thanks Jake - Albuquerque NM Guitarist Brad Delson In Kerrang! Magazine "This Is Our Favorite Song On The Record. It's The Biggest Statement That We've Ever Made. Nothing Could Go After It As Everything Would Get Eclipsed By It That's Why It's At The End." Singer Mike Shinoda In The Same Kerrang! Interview "Brad Has Always Avoided Solos Because He Doesn't Like To Show Off. But When He Played That Solo Though It Was One Of The Most Emotional Moments We've Recorded. It Says What The Lyrics Are Saying Without Any Words." 3. BLEED IT OUT Linkin Park Singer Mike Shinoda In Kerrang! Magazine "I Wrote The Lyrics To This About 100 Times. It's Always Frustrating As A Lyricist To Come In With A New Version That You Spent Hours On And Have The Band Tell You That It's Not There Yet. In One Case They Listened To My Lyrics For 30 Seconds And Told Me To Start Over Again. That Was Pretty Hard. It Felt Like I Was Bringing In The Lyrics Getting Punched In The Face And Then Going Back To The Drawing Board. When It Finally Came Together I Said To The Band 'I Don't Think Anyone But Us Could Have Made A Song Like This'. It's A F--King Bizarre Death-Party-Rap-Hoedown!" 4.WHAT I'VE DONE In This Song Chester Bennington Sings About Things We've Done That We Regret - How We Want To Forget It All And Move On. According To Bennington The Theme Of The Song Is "admitting To Your Faults Of The Past And Kind Of Accepting It And Moving On And Trying To Become Something Better." The Album Title Minutes To Midnight Refers To Military Terms Of Nuclear Warfare Otherwise Known As The Doomsday Clock. It Is A Political Statement But Could Also Indicate The Pressure The Band Was Under To Finish The Album. Thanks Steven - Anderson CA For Above 2 Rick Rubin Produced This Track And Stripped Linkin Park's Sound Down To Give Them A More Raw Feel. Rubin Did Something Similar In His Work With Johnny Cash And Neil Diamond. Thanks Bertrand - Paris France Mike Shinoda In Kerrang! Magazine "On The Other Albums Brad Delson And I Started Every Song Together Separately . But This Was The Only Song That We Wrote Together And Was The Last One We Finished. We Wanted A Song That Encapsulated The Feel Of The Whole Record And I Think This Is That Song. You're Going To Get Something Different Out Of Every Time You Listen To It." This Debuted At #1 On The Modern Rock Tracks Chart April 12th 2007. "What I've Done" Was The Third Song In This Tally's 19-Year Existence To Begin Its Chart Life At #1. The Other Two Were R.E.M.'s "What's The Frequency Kenneth?" And Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Dani California." The Album Minutes To Midnight Went To #1 In 28 Of The Countries In Which It Was Released.
