If they play Unshatter it would be the first album played fully live plus its b-sides since Meteora

What if it was an old OML demo?

 

As soon as I had the chance to listen to it, from the harmonic progression a melody immediately came to mind, a primordial demo shared by the band in 2015 in the OML pre-sessions - LINK BELOW

 

I don't know if it's a pure coincidence (harmonic progression, notes and tempo) or if the piece has actually been reworked.

 

The fact is that we are faced with the first piece of this new era that, in the metrics, presents "cut" bars just like it happens with almost all the pieces of that period.

Perhaps it could be a track recorded as a demo at the time and revised over the years.

 

The demo is District 108.

Obviously it's just food for thought.

It does sound strikingly similar, the progression mostly, i would say that it could be a OML demo, but the only way we could confirm it is by asking Mike

Sure!

I kindly ask you to listen carefully the first 20/30 seconds of that video, focusing on both keys parts (the high notes). It's the same notes progression you can listen allora on the live version (around 1:10 min of the video I share you below) 

 

Compare the first 30 seconds of the studio video with the keys parts in background at 1:10 circa

Great song but if all those synths were mixed higher this would be a 10/10, it's why I like the live version even more. The mixing this era has been a bit puzzling. Too many songs have way too many elements buried in the mix, stuff that would make the song stand out so much more. Over Each Other is the biggest perpetrator of this tbh, it has so much cool stuff but it's all so buried in the mix that it ends up sounding kinda generic compared to the live version. Even the scratches at the end of Overflow are straight up inaudible compared to when they play it live.

Mike very rarely ever talks about lyrics of a song publicly; the fact he posted that on Twitter is an indication at least in his mind he thought of Chester when writing it or thought of him at some point in that process. He seems a little defensive about "I don't want to say what it is about" for the moment.

[MMM]

After week of listening (including leak XD) I think that LetYouFade is my favourite FZ song beside Overflow. Interestingly, both of them are the most experimental. Considering that FZ is a comeback album and mainly uses the safest route, I see a bright future with more crazy songs like this two.

this is kinda crazy tbh, they're very specific numbers too so I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if this was intentional

I have seen that some people think that the song is about Chester. At first, I thought that too, but now that I've thought more about it, it's most likely not about him. I have 2 ways of interpreting what the song is truly about:

 

1. The song is about not letting the memories of loved ones and those you care about (like friends and family) go away and to remember those memories of them long after their deaths.

 

2. The song is about a friend that hasn't been gone from your life for so long, yet, you still keep the memories you had with them with you, despite that friend not being a part of your life for so long.

 

There can definitely be more ways to interpret what the meaning of the song is, but those are the 2 interpretations I have come up with for what the meaning of the song is.

Linkin Park's lyrics are always like that. You can come up with many interpretations for every song, for every individual and different experiences. Which could also be an issue as well, since some songs have lyrics so ambiguous that it takes some time for you to feel a real connection.

Out of all From Zero tracks, the lyrics to this one hit home better than any other. I personally can relate this song to multiple people in my life all with different situations and the lyrics would make perfect sense. You can say it was about Chester and it would make sense. You can say it was about a friend or a family member, alive or dead, and it would still work.

Both your interpretations don't exclude Chester tho. The song can be about Chester, it's not really important if it really is in the songwriters minds.
