"We try not to follow a pattern too much. Still in the interview to Linkin Park Web, Mike explained how the song came together: I actually see how good of a song it is, it was just hard for me to see it at the time." Now he says "In The End" is a good song that stands the test of time. But, you know, now I love 'In The End' and I think it's such a great song. And that's cool, it gives me a new appreciation for the songs. More often than not, something that I like, very few other people like, and something that those people like is something that I kind of like, or don't like at all. It also gave me a good lesson, as an artist, that I don't necessarily have to only make music, in my band, that I want to listen to. How wrong could I have possibly been? I basically decided at that point I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, so I leave that to other people who are actually talented at somehow picking songs that people are going to like the most. I was never a fan of 'In The End' and I didn't even want it to be on the record, honestly. I learnt that after making Hybrid Theory. "I don't really participate in picking singles. However, Chester Bennington revealed to VMusic on Augthat he didn't like the song at first: The song almost doesn’t know if it wants to be optimistic or pessimistic – the beginning is a little dark, but you can’t tell (lyrically) if it resolves or not. I think I was reacting to the things we as a band had gone through in the beginning. In 2001, Mike talked to ShoutWeb about the lyrics “I tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end, it doesn’t even matter.”: And then, the very next day, I played him the beginnings of what I wrote on that song, which included the piano and the chorus, and Rob said it was exactly what he had been thinking and he had never even told me he had been thinking it." I know that Rob (our drummer) likes “In the End” a lot though he says that one day he was thinking how much he wanted a song that was really true about some aspect of life. "I like “ Papercut” because it has a lot of energy and generally sums up our style pretty well. In an interview with the fan site Linkin Park Web, Mike's answer to what's his favorite Linkin Park song was, The second photo shows all the lyrics and song notes as we wrote" We didn’t have a table & chairs in the room, so I just sat on the floor and worked. The first guy to hear it was Rob, who told me (I'm paraphrasing) that this was "exactly the kind of song he wanted us to write."" He added on Instagram, "I had switched from Cubase to ProTools at this point, and was making beats with my MPC 2000 (on the floor). I had no idea what time of day it was I just slept when I was tired, and worked on this song until it took shape. I remember putting this together in our rehearsal studio on Hollywood and Vine, working overnight in a room with no windows. "These were the original verse lyrics that I wrote for this song, and the original melody in the bridge.
Ī demo version of the song was released on the LP Underground Eleven CD.
He noticed they had songs with non-lyrical titles and thought it might be a good idea to change a couple of them so that sparked the decision a bit later. Brian Gardner mastered/sequenced Hybrid Theory on July 6th.
"Untitled" was a name the band liked, but decided to change after R&B and Neo Soul singer D'Angelo released a single called "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" in early 2000. It's about how it's important to create music for people you love, are inspired by, and those who equally find inspiration from the band's music, because that's all that truly counts. Mike's notes from the CD said the song was inspired by the period before the band signed to Zomba when they were promised many things by shady people who prey on young bands.
The first demo of "In The End", called "Untitled (It Doesn't Matter)", was recorded towards the end of May 1999 and included in a demo CD with " Part Of Me" and " Flower". It was described by Chester as a "pure pop song" while Mike said it is one of Linkin Park's poppiest songs. It's popularity as made it one of the most recognizable songs of the decade, in part thanks to the infectious key intro and the flowing tradeoffs between Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington in the verses. It was released as the fourth and final single from the album on October 9, 2001, and also became one of their most successful. "In The End" is the eighth song from the album Hybrid Theory.
