Numb - Linkin Park | Rob Landes Violin Cover (with loop pedal)

Chester Bennington of Linkin Park took his own life last week, so I learned "Numb" to acknowledge his struggles with depression as well as to pay my respects to the band and the many fans he touched throughout his life. As I listened Linkin Park perform this song, it took me back to my high school days when I experienced my own periods of depression, and it reminded me that no matter how successful we are, we all deal with different issues in our life, and it's ok to reach out and get help. We're not alone. RIP Chester Bennington. I used a loop pedal to record this live in studio after a performance at Rock Canyon Studios in Provo, Utah.

Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control 'Cause everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow Every step that I take is another mistake to you Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow And every second I waste is more than I can take! I've become so numb, I can't feel you there Become so tired, so much more aware By becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you And I know I may end up failing too But I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you I've become so numb, I can't feel you there Become so tired, so much more aware By becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you I've become so numb, I can't feel you there I'm tired of being what you want me to be I've become so numb, I can't feel you there I'm tired of being what you want me to be Written by Brad Delson, Chester Charles Bennington, Dave Farrell, Joseph Hahn, Mike Shinoda,
