What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart Watch it count down to the end of the day Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
LINKIN PARK POWERLESS PIANO FULL
In this 'Making of', the footage shown is of Chester miming to a sped-up version of the track, and effect used so that when the film is slowed down, the track sounds normal as does the singer, but with an added dramatic effect.Īlso shown is Mike Shinoda jokingly claiming that Angelina Jolie was doing his make-up, but "her agent would kill us if we showed her", and footage of "Crawling" being performed by Bryson Jones and the 'Sweethearts of the Rodeo All-Star Band', full audio of which is also available on the DVD.įootage from this 'Making of' was used in the video for Points Of Authority, included in the same DVD. It begins with footage of a bat hanging off the windscreen wipers of the band's tour bus, with band members, specifically Joe Hahn making reference to the bats from the In the End video.īrad describes his custom headphones as his jack into the Matrix and why he needs to wear them on stage. On Linkin Park's Frat Party at the Pankake Festival DVD one of the special features is 'The Making of In the End'. However, Joe Hahn is shown using a MIDI pad to emulate the piano loop at the end. However, there is no evidence to support the design of Linkin Park's whale was a tribute to the game, and appears to be coincidental.Īlthough there is a keyboard loop in this song, the video does not show Mike, who is a pianist in the group, or anyone else playing a keyboard in any scene of the video. Many fans of the Legend of Zelda video games have noted similarities between the whale in the video and the 'Wind Fish' character from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. The reasoning behind its inclusion is still unknown. He has been quoted as saying "It's not like I pulled it out of my ass it made sense to me." about it. The whale in the video was Joe Hahn's idea. This fact has never been officially confirmed by the band or their record label.Ī strange-looking whale can be seen flying around the large statue during most of the video, specifically at the end of the video. Some fansites of Linkin Park have claimed that Dave Farrell injured his foot during the making of the video when he jumped off one of the platforms, but still continued filming until the end. The rest of the band (Delson, Farrell, Hahn & Bourdon) appear only during Chester's chorus and during the outro when the camera focus is near to the tower. During the rain, the statues on the tower begin to move. Near the end of the video, the skies turn dark and it begins to rain, and the band performs in the downpour until the end of the song, where the rain stops and the camera pans away from the tower, showing the wasteland where Shinoda had rapped in is now a lush Greenland. This platform is in front of a door in the shape of a trapezium. During the time Mike raps his verses, Chester stands atop a platform with gargoyles on the edges. The portions where Mike Shinoda raps first take place in a wasteland with thorny vines sprouting out of the ground, surrounding him and shattering into dust (first verse) and then grass and plants sprouting up around him (second verse). The tower itself is in the shape of a woman and appears to be the left-out portion of the cover of Hybrid Theory EP. The band performs atop a giant statue, which has a 'winged soldier' on top of it, which is similar looking to the 'winged soldier' on the cover artwork of Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory album. The music video takes place in a fantasy setting and uses massive CGI animation. Reanimation ( 2002) features a hip hop-style remix of this song, titled " Enth E Nd". It is considered symbolic of an ending relationship. This song is mainly based on one person's failure. It is widely regarded as their most famous song and the one which best describes their musical style (a melodic interplay between Chester Bennington's singing and Mike Shinoda's rapping). "In the End" is their highest charting single in most countries.
The original demo version of this song was labeled "Untitled" (which may or may not have been an actual title) and contained various different rap verses by Shinoda. It was originally written as a poem by the lead vocalist, Chester Bennington, with Christian Petersen, and was later established as a sufficient song for the album. It is the eighth track from their debut album Hybrid Theory ( 2000).
