What is there even to say when another light goes out from this world? This list of some of my favorite Linkin Park songs is a tribute to Chester Bennington, who touched many lives through his music over the years of his life. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us, Chester.

12. Numb

This, of course, is one of the many highly popular songs that come to mind when one thinks of Linkin Park. It was probably the one that captured my attention and turned it over to Linkin Park's music throughout the years.

Favorite Lyrics: Can't you see that you're smothering me / Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control

11. Somewhere I Belong

I believe that this song is widely relatable. Everyone is just looking for the place they fit into the puzzle.

Favorite Lyrics: I wanna heal / I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong

10. What I've Done


Favorite Lyrics: I'll face myself / To cross out what I've become

9. New Divide

Favorite Lyrics: As time began to blur / Like a startling sign / That fate had finally found me

8. In Pieces

This song so well describes a relationship that I've been involved in. It just spoke to me in ways that no other song ever could.

Favorite Lyrics: There's truth in your lies / Doubt in your faith / All I've got is what you didn't take

7. Talking to Myself

Favorite Lyrics: All the walls that you keep building / All this time that I spent chasing / All the ways that I keep losing you / The truth is, you turn into someone else / You keep running like the sky is falling

6. Sharp Edges


Favorite Lyrics: Sharp edges have consequences, now / Every scar is a story I can tell

5. Iridescent

Favorite Lyrics: Remember all the sadness and frustration / And let it go. Let it go

4. Heavy

Favorite Lyrics: I know I'm not the center of the universe / But you keep spinning round me just the same

3. Roads Untraveled


Favorite Lyrics: Give up your heart left broken / And let that mistake pass on

2. One More Light

Favorite Lyrics: Who cares if one more light goes out / Well I do

1. Leave Out All the Rest

I used to fall asleep every night listening to this song. It has been my all-time favorite for quite some time now.

Favorite Lyrics: Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learn to hide so well / Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself

If you or anyone you know is considering suicide, please don't hesitate to reach out for help. Your life matters. Be here to live it.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
