My friend just disappeared and everyone was wondering where he went for a year. And so 1 year later I'm at an airport ready to go to my grandparents house for the summer i get in my seat i look to see who ill be with for the next 6 hours and i see him. He looked at me like NOTHING happened. When i asked him where he went. He said: "I lost my friend." Then i remembered his dog was his LIFE...his dog had ran away and he found it 2 states away with a girl caring for it till it died. Needles to say. He married that woman (not because if the dog) and he now has 2 kids, and a dog. Every thursday...he listens to this song...the day Shoddy died. If you read this whole thing i praise you! Just thought i should share this

This brings tears to my eyes everytime. I hope my fiancee loves heaven

My mom passed from cancer when I was 16. I’m now 25 and this song still makes me cry like the first time I heard it. I wish you could just come back home.

*The fact is you never realize what you've got until it's gone*

Makes me think of my friends and family who have passed on. This song is genius .

I started listening to Fort Minor in middle school when I was in a new state, a new home, a new school. They got me through really dark times. Now I'm an adult, I've hit rock bottom again, and they're lifting me back up the same way they did when I was starting middle school.

Lost my dad a few months back, I never realized how much I actually loved that man. He was literally my only friend. It hurts so much. I just feel lost, but im stress free. It’s the worst feeling because I just wanna tell him how it’s been. Went from daily calls to nothing. I know he loved me I can feel it, now I feel and experience these things with my baby, I can’t help but think. Did he feel amazing when I looked at him? Love you dad Happy Heavenly Father’s Day

I’m in the US Air Force and my wife showed me this song and it just breaks my heart in so many ways. between the moving and deployments.. I just want to say I am so thankful to have such an amazing partner to always stay with me through all the hard years and those to come. I love you always my angel. I’ll be home soon..

Bring this music to the new era in 2016.

Promised my grandpa I'd sing with him in his churches choir, never got to. Everytime I sing this song it goes to him. Rest easy grandpa

it's been eleven f*cking years and still good.

My wife played this to me right before I was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's disease because my personality had changed so much. I hadn't heard it in years and broke down in tears because it made so much sense how she felt about me.

I was already crying, but then I read these comments & omg. 😢😭 I'm legit sobbing right now, I love you guys. Grief is so hard & it never gets easier

This song hits deep. The beat and lyrics are perfect.

My Mom died May 12, 2010 a month after my 13th birthday. She was buried May 18th when which is also her birthday.. I remember crying as they put her in the ground and thinking "What a birthday gift, I'm burying you Mom." I have night terrors about it til this day I'll be 27 next month. Songs like this have been a main to key to helping me make it this far, even after that I been thru nothing but hell. But I refuse to give up on heaven.

I miss Linkin Park. RIP lead singer Chester Charles Bennington. A lot of their songs remind me of myself and what I've done.

This song brings out the feels ..

Lost my mom to suicide 3 months ago & I always remembered this song from years ago while we were driving up north ... sitting in the passenger seat watching her sing this song 💔 I miss you ma❤

Whenever I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown I just come and listen to this song because it has a soothing tone to it in my opinion. I love that it helps to ease the pain.

This song is beautifully written and hits hard. I know a lot of people can relate to this song because of past relationships, but I relate to this with actual family members, even friends. Family and friends that I used to be really close to more than anything. Life and living situations forcing us to grow apart, or words that were said out of anger that tore us apart. I miss them every day.

I moved away from Las Vegas when I was 6 with my sister but we had to leave my brother behind. When we got to our new house miles away I turned on the radio and this song played... the words have been burned into my mind for 9 years... I love you Kiko.

Who the hell are people to say who and where they should express their feelings to? If someone wants to randomly share their story to the whole world through this beautiful song: LET THEM!

This is the most depressing comment section, I hope everyone who is having a hard time in their life at the moment will see good times again. But for now just sit back and enjoy the beauty of this song.

Who's here in 2024?

this comment section is so depressing

I remember loving this song as a kid, I couldn't relate to the lyrics, I just heard this song and liked it. Me and my old neighbors used to sit around in our front yards, a lot of times we'd sing along to random songs on the radio, or we'd play American idol and take turns singing songs while 3 of them would sit out and be the judges. We all happened to like this song so it came up a lot around that time. So this song makes me think of them. They eventually all moved away, and my family moved out of that neighborhood too. My family only ended up maintaining regular contact with 1 of those neighbors since then, who ended up moving across the country. I ended up re-connecting with another neighbor through discord, nearly 10 years later, through a friend of a friend who also knew them. The rest I haven't seen or heard from for about 10 years now. Being around those neighbors every day in my childhood, they were a significant part of my life. They're the reason I found so much of the music I like, the movies and shows I liked, they helped me with art and story writing, they're the reason I know all sorts of video game cheats and star wars lore and all kinds of other stuff my child self thought was amazing. We were all just barely too young for our own cell phones/email, and social media didn't really take off like that yet (and we were also too young for that anyway) so we couldn't really exchange contact info like that before most of them moved. So we just ended up never seeing or hearing from those friends ever again

The chorus is about my bed and I

walked into my sister's empty room at 4:30 in the morning playing this song and letting the tears roll down. don't know where she is. the last few years have been so difficult. never have I related so much to this song except for now. "please come back home."

I listen to this song every time i think about my best friend shawn, he left in the middle of my freshman year, my first friend at my new school, he helped me through all the painful times i had that year, filled will bullying and no even my parents caring, he left and moved following love, we rarely talk anymore, last i heard he was engaged and about to be married, the guy i looked to as an older sibling, ill never get back.

man, lots of memories flood back in when I listen to this tune. bit bittersweet for me.

Finally found the song. So many things i wanna say but.. The song speaks for itself.

I am truly sorry for your loss Mike! *hugs*

gets me crying everytime this

To anyone reading. If you have a person who is your friend, but never has the time or decency to respond or make plans when you yourself has to. That's not a friend. If your gut is telling you to let them go, it may be time. I nearly teared up hearing this. Mike is absolutely right. It's pretty messed up that people literally ignore others because of such petty things.

Five years old when I herd this song..... eleven years later and it's still my favorite.

Im 24 years old battling drug addiction, which I've been yearning to recover from... Hearing this song for the first time since my childhood really touched my heart. Wow

My brother joined the military a few years back basically to change and try to figure life out.. only to come back not talking about his experiences while the family has to see him suffer from PTSD. This song reminds me of him and how it felt so long till he came home. He’s had a rough life growing up, and even now. Man, this song...

Man this song reminds me of my father. He's not gone but. I don't know what I'd do without him.

There's something so unique in Holly's voice, it really makes the song.

After all these years of loyalty and heartache, ive finally made it to the 3rd verse. I wish you the best and that you learn to be better...thank you for setting me free.

Running through my old playlist and it's nice. Really been missing the good times when me and my friends would go out to the woods to camp and smoke a bowl or two. Those were simpler times

i respect mike so much. he lives on and makes music like this that keeps other people going when they are going through something.

Where'd you go Chester?

This song reminds me of my brother that passed away less than a year ago. He was charismatic, funny, happy, someone you could go to, to just get things off your mind, or someone you could go play video games, music, or on someones nerves. He was always there for me and my other 3 brothers and 2 sisters.Never said no to hanging out with us and spending time with family and friends. There is so much more I wanted to do with him, so much I have left unsaid to him.... I miss him so, and it seems like its been forever that he has been home, to a place where he used to live, to a place where we used to barbecue burgers and ribs, and used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile. Now I find myself filling my time, with anything to keep him off my mind, and its a little fucked up that the family and I are stuck here tired of sitting, waiting, and hating making these excuses why he is not around, and feeling so useless... It seems its true all along you don't know what you have until its gone. Where d you go? I miss you so, seems like its been forever that you've been gone. Please come back home little homie. Safe travels where ever you are in this universe, know that you are loved dearly! And we all miss you more than you could even imagine. KZfaq, if you have someone that you haven't said " I love you, I miss you, Lets go hang out" ANYTHING in a while. Do it before its to late, even if its someone one you don't like. It could be the last time you would see or hear from them, and they could use knowing that they are loved or thought about when they are not close. Rest In Peace Taz.

Lost my Dad in Feb 2015 and my grandparents in 2007 and 2011 and this song hits it right on the head and does seem like forever since they passed on too

This is the real hip hop

This song got me through my dad being deployed, my parents divorce, almost all my friends leaving me behind, and now pretty much all of high school. doubt ill ever stop listening to fm and lp. it feels like they are the only people who can describe how i feel.

This is one of many songs that remind me of my brother who is now a marine and lives his own life at 23, and it reminds me so deeply of when he said to me "that he no longer needed us."

Still listening in 2024 and I always will

I do urban exploration as a hobby and I have been in a some abandoned places and have come across sentimental things such as postcards and even birthday and greetings cards etc that have been left behind to rot and deteriorate. This song reminds me of those finds. It makes me kinda emotional to think that these things were left behind to rot. It makes me wonder where the inhabitants went and why they left these sentimental things behind

DAMN! The Summer of 2006 was the Summer of my life! I remember listening to this song nearly everyday, because the Summer of 2006 was nothing but Sweet Memories! My favorite Summer ever!

I just got recommended this again after all these years. Thank you KZfaq. I was ten when this came out and I'm 19 now

Damn I haven't heard this song since high school in the mid 2000s.

I hope this song never fades out for people to forget..... Please I hope you are holding on okay❤️

I only discovered this song and I'm am simply amazed how perfect this song is !

I've adored this song for years, even going back to high school thinking that I could relate to it despite never going through it. All these years later, I still listen to it, only now I feel the meaning much more personally. I've had so many relationships, both romantic and friendships, end with someone saying they had to go away for some reason or another, only to never return despite how long I waited. It never gets easier to make that determination, to pull the trigger and finally let go. You always want to think that tomorrow will be the day that they'll come back and you can go back to how things were. Sometimes though, the only way to move on with your life is to let them go. Feeling for anyone else who's in that boat, either now or in the past. Just remember, it gets better in time.

This song is for my mom and dad it as been 16 years that i havent seen them :(

i just cried. i just fucking cried.

Makes me think of my ex-wife. The song is good, but the memories of all the cheating and lies come back to haunt me. I hate the song for how it makes me feel, but at the same time love it because it's just that powerful of a song. Probably one of the best songs Fort Minor ever made because of that fact alone.

I had a girlfriend a long time ago, she asked me to drive her somewhere but I couldn't cuz I had things to do, so she walked there. the next day my best friend told me she got ran over. I always listen to this song to remind me of her, I love it but it makes me sad because I think it was my fault that she died.

Every time I hear this song I instantly get really emotional.. I miss my older brother :/ I wish he can just come back home.. this December will be 15 years that he has been gone.. it gets harder and harder for me.. I am so glad he gave me something when I was little now I can’t sleep without it. I can’t go anywhere with out it. He does visit me in my dreams.. I just wish I had one more last hug from him.. RIP Big Bro 😔

I am listening to this on the eve of me going abroad to study in college. I just ended it with the girl I loved (things didn't seem to work out). To be honest this song is both aggravating and soothing to my feelings right now. I wonder if there is anyone out there who knows what I'm going through, and what I'm about to go through..

I cry when I hear this song. My cousin died from Leukemia a few years back and when I hear this song it reminds me of her.

before Holly Brook changed her name to Skylar Grey

So nostalgic!!! Makes me tear up every time!

That song ... fantastic

I'm 41. Been listening to this for years. One of the best sad songs ever.

Anos 2005 , 2006 , ouvi muito esse som na MTV quando voltava da escola , tempo bom 🇧🇷🇧🇷

I remember playing this song On Demand over and over when I was a kid. The video being all hazy and sad, and just enjoying this and not having any idea what it’s really about. Now grown - it hits too close to home and brings back memories. I don’t know if they’re good or not, but they’re content memories.

every male in my family has been in the military war or no dark ages as well this song means a lot to my family because we alwas think of the service.nastalgia or hope we come home? I cant be the only one.

Lucky for you guys the native English can listen to this song without thinking what the lyrics is. Well even tho I don't all the meaning of this song. Still enjoy the rap and the rhytme :D

It takes me to my childhood vibes. Back to the first time I heard this on the TV, it was best time ever

This hurts my missing heart to the one who took it and abused it, I never knew why I still have feelings for them, but I still miss you I really hope I can find the words to tell you how much I love and hate you for what you have done to me but I thank you. Because you made me stronger than I could have ever imagined.

Song makes me think of people in the Military, it's sad. Salute to all the soldiers that are fighting or have died in war.

I’ve done a lot to hurt the mother of my child but the plain fact is I’ll always want her to be back living with me. It is now too late, I’ve filled her with too much resentment and now she’s lost what’s kept her with me. I’ll always love her though.

If you are lucky....You are the luckiest if the person you love,decide to love you back

This song makes me think of my uncle who passed away a couple years ago. Still stings a bit to this day

I heard this song on a radio today after so much time... Had to find it on yt 💙 the nostalgia hits super hard

Hits home every time. 💘

This is a wonderful song

I cant stop crying and thinking of the family's that are reunited when a family member comes home from the milltary...

Hope everyone is doing ok❤️

I often forget how much I like this song from Mike Shinoda and Skylar Grey. Just come across it every now and then and it gets me right in the feels

Listening after 10 years. Nostalgic memories incoming. Such a wonderful beat, and chorus.

How i feel about my grandma she died at 72 from falling. RIP Linda Collins 1943 - 2015

i'd like to see other songs like this. Mike's a great person and a great rapper.

its kind of comforting to see other people that are still mourning. i miss you dad

I love this song so much

Descobri essa música hoje, que letra, arrepiou. Muito boa!

Love this song

This song is amazing. I forgot about it. Thank you for sharing this ❤

Love this song forever~thank you

Illenium mix

Love this song

I heard this song on in the living room just now, It’s been so long since I’ve heard this but it’s still just as good as I remembered it.

Amazing I’m glad I remembered

I know this sounds funny, but this song makes me miss when I was a kid. All my siblings were together, I missed still being in school and seeing my friends, and the comfort during that time. I hate that everything has changed. This song used to play a lot during my childhood, and is one of the many ones that still make me cry.

This reminds me of my best friend me and her knew each other well then one day we had a fight and she just left but I wish she was my friend again it's lonely w/o her

Love this song ❤️❤️

Always beautiful ❤️❤️
