Mike Shinoda Announces Three New Songs Releasing Jan 25th, Possible EP Title "Post Traumatic"

Can anyone hazard a guess as to what time the release will be?

 

I'm guessing anytime after 12 PM (PST).

You're right. I forgot that 'Looking For An Answer' will be worked as a Linkin Park song, but I'm expecting songs along the same line.

 

I'm going with 10 AM PST. No real reason just a hunch...

 

Its on now.....youtube channel Mike Shinoda!!!!

 

Music is now on mikeshinoda.com !!!!

 

Place to Start

I don't have a leg to stand on.
Spinning like whirlwind, nothing to land on.
Came so far never thought I'd be done now.
Stuck in a holding pattern, waiting to come down.
Oh.

Get somebody else to find me.
Can I put the past behind me?
Do I even have a decision?
Feel like I'm living in a story already written.
Am I part of the vision made by somebody else?
And pointing fingers at villains but I'm the villain myself
And am I out of conviction, with no wind in the sail.
I'm too focused on the end and simply ready to fail.

Cause I'm tired of the fear that I can't control this.
Tired of feeling like every next step's hopeless.
I'm tired of being scared what I built might break apart.
I don't wanna know the end, all I want is a place to start.
Oh, oh. oh.
I don't wanna know the end, all I want is a place to start.
Oh, oh. oh.

 

Its on the standard streaming platforms now too!

Starting the EP now. Place to Start is great!

Not sure if you call it a rap but that fast verse is amazing.

I would say that condolences part feels weird.

 

Guys, Over Again hurts me bad!

 

Can anyone write what people say at the end of Place to Start?

 

Over Again is amazing! Very well written. The lyrics are so sad man but its nice to hear Mike's true thoughts!

 

All 3 songs are fantastic, you get a real scene of the pain Mike has gone through from the passing of Chester.

I wonder when / if Looking For An Answer will be released, i did think it may have been on this EP

 

Over Again.

Sometimes... Sometimes you don't say "Goodbye." once.
You say "Goodbye." over and over and over again.
Over and over and over again.
Sometimes... Sometimes you don't say "Goodbye." once.
You say "Goodbye." over and over and over again.
Over and over and over

It was a month since he passed, maybe less.
And no one knew what to do we were such a mess.
We were texting, we're calling, we were checking in.
We said, "We ought to play a show in honor of our friend."
Well, now that show is finally here, it's tonight.
Supposed to go to the bowl, get on stage, dim the lights.
With our friends and our family, in his name celebrate.
There's no way I'll be ready to get back up on that stage

Can't remember if I canceled any show
But I think about what I'm supposed to do when I don't know.
Cuz I think if I'm not doing it the same way as before.
And it makes me wanna puke my fucking guts out on the floor.
We rehearsed it for a month, I'm not worried about the set.
I'd get tackled by the grief at times I would least expect.
I know what I should be doing when I'm singing
but instead we'll playing through a song and I'll remember in my head

Sometimes... Sometimes you don't say "Goodbye." once.
You say "Goodbye." over and over and over again.
Over and over and over again.
Sometimes... Sometimes you don't say "Goodbye." once.
You say "Goodbye." over and over and over again.
Over and over and over again.

What they saying? I'm not raw? What the fuck you take me for?
All a sudden you hear what I said a hundred ways before?
I've been pushed, I've been trapped, drug myself through hell and back.
I've fallen flat and had the balls to start it all again from scratch.
How do you feel? How you doin? How'd the show go?
Am I insane to say that the truth is that "I don't know"?
My body aches, it's set spitting, "this is all wrong"
I almost lost it in the middle of a couple songs.
And everybody that I talk to is like
"Wow, it must be really hard to figure what to do now."
Well, thank you genius, you think it'd be a challenge?
Only my life's work, hanging in the fucking balance.
And all I wanted was to get a little bit of closure.
And every step I took, I looked, it wasn't any closer.
Cuz sometimes when you say "Goodbye"
You say it over, and over, and over, and over.

Sometimes... Sometimes you don't say "Goodbye." once.
You say "Goodbye." over and over and over again.
Over and over and over again.
(Woah. Woah)
Sometimes... Sometimes you don't say "Goodbye." once.
You say "Goodbye." over and over and over again.
Over and over and over again.

Over and over and over again.
Over and over and over again.
Over and over and over again.
Over and over and over again.
Over and over and over again.
Over and over and over again.

 

I like the "over and over again" loop in Over Again. It seems like a mental loop in which Mike's stuck.

 

Watching As I Fall is great but probably my least favorite.

Over Again is definitely my favorite! Straight music and straight fire!

 

Pretty much this. Such a great role model.
