Shadow Of The Day

I've listed to most of Linkin Park's popular songs; What I've Done, Numb, In The End ... But of all of their songs that have gone mainstream recently, I have to say Shadow of the Day is probably my favorite.
As with most of Linkin Park's songs, I love the drum beat in this song. All of the melodies and harmonies on this track really work for the mood the band was going for, which is very powerful; this song can be very meaningful to a lot of people. The lyrics in this song are absolutely heartbreaking, but in a good way. It's just one of those songs that you listen to and it completely upsets you, because it's so true ... but then you feel better after listening to it. You feel inspired and awakened.
I don't know. Maybe that's just me.
If this song doesn't inspire you, maybe the music video will. I find it extremelly hard to watch, so be warned; this isn't a feel-good music video. But, in the same strange was that the song seems to inspire at least me, the music video does the same.
Just a great track. Way to go, Linkin Park, for putting out another stellar single.

Shadow Of The Day
Linkin Park

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren’t so simple
Sometimes goodbye’s the only way, oh

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in gray
And the sun will set for you...

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, oh

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in gray
And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in gray
And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in gray
And the sun will set for you
