Lyrics:
Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored?
Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?
We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep
There are things that we can have, but can't keep
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
The reminders, pull the floor from your feet
In the kitchen, one more chair than you need, oh
And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair
Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do (I do)
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Well I do

I can almost hear Chester singing through these children. This is probably the best non LP rendition of the song I've heard.

[valdemirsilva]

See this Chester? They are honoring you down here!

[subhankur]

It's not just a song, it's an anthem for the people who are struggling from depression. Probably the best tribute one can give to Chester

[michaeltutnichts-zursache]

This is the most emotional cover of a song that means so much to me ❤️

My very best friend, a 34 year old mother of a little baby who got married a year ago, suffered from depression. One evening in summer 21, she called me and told me that she's contemplating suicide. We talked for hours on the phone. I was telling her how much she means to me and her family. We talked about her cute little daughter and how much she would need her right now. How wonderful it will be when her daughter learns to talk or has her very first day at school. And just to tell her how worthy she is, I mentioned "One More Light". She loved it and called it her new favourite song. I just wanted to tell her how much I care.

On the very next day, I visited her at the psychiatric hospital. We took a picknick and she cried even more. I was holding her in my arms and comforted her with all of my love and empathy. We talked about a strategy to feel better, and I wanted her to agree that I contact her husband and family. But she denied.

I was struggeling about this, but in the end I agreed, hoping to have her full confidence. I told her that she could call me anytime, I would be there immediately. I begged to do so, to be honest.

After all, she seemed to be calm and strong enough to face the nearest future. She even called me some days later to tell me that she's allowed to leave the hospital in order to see her family and to start an out-patient therapy. She said that she's quite fine.

A few days later, she took her life on the 20th of july, just as Chester.

Her little girl was eight months old then. She did not live to see even her first wedding day. I never felt this guilty before and I miss her so much.

Who cares if one more light goes out in a sky of a million stars?

Well, I do.

To all of you, out there in the world weird web: this song ist about worthyness. It is telling you how wonderful and unique everyone is and that others care about you. Sometimes life is hard, but there are people who love and support you -every single person. Don't disappoint them and make them cry. Do not waste your life. I'm not telling you about a light on the end of a tunnel cause I do not know which tunnel your going through, but about all the people around you that care. Speak to them. Give them a chance. A suicide will NEVER solve a problem. You're not gonna say to yourself that your're feeling better now after passing away. You're just gone, leaving tears and pain and perplexity for those who care. And believe me, there are many people that care. Give them a chance and don't follow Chester. We love you!

[alyssajulaton]

It wasn’t until the middle of the song that I realized that this wasn’t a song of mourning, but a song pleading for people struggling with suicide to stay.

[beartner]

This song is so beautiful. Chester sang everything that trully was on his mind. Music is the cry of souls, if some use it just for entertainment they dont know what it is for real

[Music-tjhu]

I was one of these children in this video I loved singing this it really helped get over the loss of my brother

[LPMAN]

Chester may be gone, but his voice and soul lives through us all.
Linkin Park Forever!

[pitou]

It's one of the most beautiful and sad songs I've ever heard 😞
Chester sang who cares if one more light goes out, but we say: all people in the world who have a good music understanding cares if your light goes out so stay with us! R. I. P Chester

[courtneyg]

A choir member... gone.
She will always be in our hearts.
Megan, 1995 - 2019
💖💖🕊💖💖
We'll miss you Megan xxx

[melissagatzemeier]

Who's listening to this song in 2024

[nscan]

I often watch this with tears in my eyes. I lost my eldest boy to suicide just three years ago and not a moment goes by that I don’t miss him. His light went out far too early but I feel him close to me in the reminders in the house, even if we have one more chair than we need. Anniversaries and birthdays will always be the hardest and that empty chair is saved for him with a photo to mark his place. I will miss him always. Please if you need help reach out, there is always someone who will be there for you and will help you.
If you are in Australia there are always resources such as beyond blue and lifeline if you feel too alone to go elsewhere. I will always say a prayer for you and keep you in my heart, you just have to ask.

[palashk]

This song is truly a gift from Chester to the people who are struggling to live their life.... And this version of the song is too beautiful and powerful at the same time.

[dominikfischer]

Just one word is needed to describe this whole choir:
Beautiful

[charlotteannthairs]

I just lost my cousin in a really bad car accident. She just celebrated her 53rd birthday the day before. She lived for one week prior to the crash and passed away in surgery. I miss her everyday and it doesn’t feel the same not hearing her voice and seeing her every week. This song really means soo much because she impacted so many peoples lives, and now she is no longer with us.

Thank you for sharing this song, it really spoke to me and was what I needed to hear today

[itshsquad]

“Well I did...”
This song really broke me when I heard it on the radio a few days after my best friend committed suicide two years ago, and it still does, every time I listen to it

[alninsea]

Lyrics:

Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored?
Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?
We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep
There are things that we can have, but can't keep

If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do

The reminders pull the floor from your feet
In the kitchen, one more chair than you need oh
And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair
Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there
If they say

Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do

If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Well I do

You can see the pain on the older kids' faces. They felt this loss and pain. All of them made us feel this loss and pain. It doesn't matter that we're only here for a flicker; you, they, we matter. If anyone scrolling through needs a listening ear, feel free to reach out. You and I can chat until you're feeling safe again. <3
