Day 5️⃣3️⃣ 

Back to May 19, 2017.

"One More Light" is a deeply emotional song by Linkin Park. The song was written in response to the death of a friend of the band, Amy Zaret. It touches on themes of loss, grief, and the fragile nature of life. Unlike the band’s earlier, heavier nu-metal sound, "One More Light" is more of a soft, melancholic ballad, reflecting a more introspective and personal side of Linkin Park.

The song gained even more significance following the tragic death of the band's lead singer, Chester Bennington, in July 2017. It became a tribute to him, resonating with fans worldwide for its heartfelt lyrics and message of coping with the loss of loved ones. The chorus poignantly asks, "Who cares if one more light goes out? Well, I do."

"One More Light" became an anthem for those mourning, and it highlighted the band's evolution in sound, focusing on more electronic and pop elements compared to their earlier work.
