RogueSoul Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Linkin Park has debuted their brand new single "Heavy" (feat. Kiiara)! You may have all been glued to your screens waiting for the next clip, but looks like we've gotten what we've been waiting for! According to this listing of availability of radio singles, a new Linkin Park song called 'Heavy' will be available for airplay by February 21, 2017 - two weeks from today! There's no telling if we will hear the single for the first time on February 21 or before, but now we have a timeframe. EDIT 2/8: According to this Facebook post by Warner Music Thailand, 'Heavy' will be released on February 17. If you check our our comprehensive Linkinpedia page for the band's seventh album, you can see that 'Heavy' is a known working title from the album sessions. It can be seen on the band's working title board as early as April 2016. This original picture from Joe's Instagram on April 28, 2016 shows a number of working titles, including 'Heavy'. Linkin Park has been pretty busy lately prepping for their new single. Rumor is that both yesterday and today are scheduled for filming a music video for a song reportedly featuring pop artist Kiiara. We can't tell if 'Heavy' features Kiiara yet, but we'll soon find out. The band has slowly but surely been releasing teasers for their new music via their website, with two of the supposed eight being released so far. The URLs for the videos seem to slowly be spelling something out - so far we have 'On,' so it looks like that won't be spelling out the single title. The band was at their rehearsal space yesterday, presumably getting ready to perform the new song for upcoming promotional performances within the next month. If you're getting antsy for the first taste of the single, it seems we might have already gotten one. If you listen closely around the :40 second mark of the first promotional clip ("Piano") the band posted on their website, you can hear Mike sing "Holding on, why is everything so heavy?" above the piano chords. Is that clip from "Heavy," or is it something else? 2/13 EDIT: Linkin Park has just released lyrics for "Heavy" on Genius.com. I don’t like my mind right nowStacking up problems that are so unnecessaryWish that I could slow things downI wanna let go but there’s comfort in the panicAnd I drive myself crazyThinking everything's about meYeah I drive myself crazyCause I can’t escape the gravity I'm holding onWhy is everything so heavyHolding onSo much more than I can carryI keep dragging around what's bringing me downIf I just let go, I'd be set freeHolding onWhy is everything so heavy You say that I'm paranoidBut I’m pretty sure the world is out to get meIt’s not like I make the choiceTo let my mind stay so fucking messyI know I'm not the center of the universeBut you keep spinning round me just the sameI know I'm not the center of the universeBut you keep spinning round me just the same I'm holding onWhy is everything so heavyHolding onSo much more than I can carryI keep dragging around what's bringing me downIf I just let go, I'd be set freeHolding onWhy is everything so heavy I know I'm not the center of the universeBut you keep spinning round me just the sameI know I'm not the center of the universeBut you keep spinning round me just the sameAnd I drive myself crazyThinking everything’s about me I'm holding onWhy is everything so heavyHolding onSo much more than I can carryI keep dragging around what's bringing me downIf I just let go, I'd be set freeHolding onWhy is everything so heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamArtz Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Oh shit Think we all see the irony in the title though Edit: Two weeks from today, Dylan. Edited February 7, 2017 by Negan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 So maybe that piano clip that includes the line "why is everything so heavy?" is part of the chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catalyst619 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Makes sense with the piano clip, Mike singing about things "being so heavy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark403 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Though it doesn't say that this is the song with Kiiara... So it must be a different one. Is it possible that we can hear 2 new songs in February? And where is the 3rd clip from linkinpark.com? This time yesterday the 2nd was already available to watch if I'm not mistaken...

RickLPL Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 What about the song with Kiiara though? I'm really confused now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 What about the song with Kiiara though? I'm really confused now Also the "You'll hear it on Valentine's Day" tweet from the other radio guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickLPL Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Maybe this is also false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZLP-Benningstrong Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hope this one has rapping, Kiiara and Chester delivering a powerful chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSoul Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Haven't had to say this in awhile, but all you 2000 guests viewing the thread right now, feel free to sign up and join the discussion - we'd love to hear your thoughts on it all Thinking the Kiiara single might be a secondary single like Until It's Gone or LIES GREED MISERY. First single gets the album promo going, then the second single comes in and keeps it rolling when the video is ready. Maybe the song does have Kiiara on it, as well, and it's just not revealed yet.

AdamArtz Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 If Kiiara and Chester are harmonizing - powerful af Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smarky Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I'll take a single release two weeks from now. So, do you guys think they're spelling out the album title with the urls? Yea.. I am guessing so, considering that in the 2nd video they appear to be talking about the album as a whole and not anything to do with a single.

kiq fLP Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I know is a lot earlier to say something, but in the board that contained some demo names, there was one called "Heavy". It fits with the possible lyrics and would be a name a little bit ironic to use, since the previous release were their heaviest to date and this album seems to be a softer one. I KNEW IT! Just have to wait now lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalyst619 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Has it ever happened where 2 music videos for an album were shot so quickly after the other? Seems really odd to me that they would film a 2nd video for another song before even releasing the promo single. Very confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
