Linkin Park - In The End MV REACTION

For me, especially for Hybrid Theory, I get to enjoy the music videos BECAUSE I know the lyrics already; To me, the MV comes AFTER knowing the lyrics, it's how I always do it. Even if I'm 'watching' a YT playlist on my second monitor, if it plays a song that I don't know and I like it, I pull up the lyrics and listen to the song. If I really like it, then it gets added to my 'New Music' playlist and I listen to it until I KNOW the lyrics. Once I've got them pretty much memorized then I can go back and enjoy the MV.

I know I’m a little late to this. Just joined today. I hope you get to read this. Been a long time listener of LP, started back in 2001 as a teen, love all their albums. In The End was meant to be more of a pop song, but has a depth to it. Anyways the lyrics were not good on this version you showed, I hope you went back to read the lyrics on Spotify. This song in my opining is about time and death, sorta teaching you a lesson that no matter what time is fleeting and we’re all going to experience the end of our lives, (“I tried so hard and got so far” - we all try so hard to be happy and good people. “I had to fall, to lose it all”- he had to hit rock bottom to lose all the important things in his life, but in the end it doesn’t matter because our ending is the same - we die. Also the Bridge part sung by Chester “I put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go” “For all this, there’s only one thing you should know” he is talking to what he believes is God or a creator, he wants to basically tell “God” that he trusted him and pushed to be a good person but there was still pain and hardship and screw you (“one thing you should know”) because it didn’t change the outcome he’s still going to die and it doesn’t matter. Just my opinion.

A slow down version of "In The End" has been used in some movies trailers and one Magic: The Gathering ad.

I know you like Chester’s voice and if you think you can feel his emotions now, I implore you to watch him perform live. Idk you might cry tears

You’re correct in a sense that music videos can have more to do with visuals than the music. Especially in the cases of people like Wonho (Open Mind and Want) but I think they add some in other places. In my opinion Lit by Lay is the best music video ever made, but only because of the visuals. The music is kinda mid, but you can directly link shit like Freak On A Leash to it’s music video, which just shows great directing, it’s an art in and of itself, and art is what you make of it. And I’m still praying on your downfall. So, good luck.

Charge that laptop and do your reaction to the rest of the album. Waaaaaaah! LOL Peace, Teddy!
