Linkin Park han presentado una de las demos de su icónico single de ‘Hybrid Theory‘, ‘In The End‘. Una escucha fascinante.
Antes del lanzamiento de la caja especial para conmemorar el vigésimo aniversario del álbum, la banda nos está dando una muestra de lo que podemos encontrar en esta gran retrospectiva.
Lo que es más evidente de inmediato en términos de cómo esta demo se diferencia de lo terminado son los versos de Mike Shinoda.
En una entrevista con Linkin Park Web, Mike explicó cómo se escribió In The End: “Se me ocurrió el piano y la música y la letra del coro. Luego a Brad se le ocurrió la guitarra en el verso y trabajamos en la línea de bajo y la composición. A partir de ahí, creo que todos en la banda comenzaron a contribuir y agregar sus partes y criticar las partes de los demás. Y justo antes de que fuéramos al estudio para grabarlo, eliminamos el ritmo que había escrito originalmente para el verso, e hicimos que Rob hiciera uno nuevo, que es el que grabamos“.
Y la letra:
It starts with one…
One, then multiplies ’til you can taste the sun
And burned by the sky you try to take it from
But if it falls, there’s no place to run
Crumbling down, it’s so unreal
They’re dealing you in to determine your end
And sending you back again, to places you’ve been
And bending your will ’til it breaks you, within
And still, they fill their eyes
With the twilight through the skylight
And the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness
As I write this on a pad with the way I feel
Hear the screaming in my dreaming
As it’s seeming that you’ve played your part
Like you’re heartless, take apart this
In the darkness, but I know that I’ve tried so hard
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
I’ve looked down the line
And what’s there is not what ought to be
Held back by the battles they fought for me
Calling me to be part of their property
And now, I see that I get no chance
I get no break
Fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes
And as the tightrope within slowly starts to thin
I can only hope that they close their eyes
To the twilight through the skylight
And the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness
As I write this on a pad to the way I feel
Hear the screaming in my dreaming
As it’s seeming that you’ve played your part
Like you’re heartless, take apart this
In the darkness, but I know that I tried so hard
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
I’ve put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go
For all this, there’s only one thing you should know
I’ve put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go
For all this, there’s only one thing you should know
I’ve put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go
For all this, there’s only one thing you should know
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
