The American rock band Linkin Park has released this Friday their unpublished song 'Lost'. As announced at the beginning of the week, it is a "never heard before" song and it comes just a few weeks before their second album, 'Meteora' (with hits like 'Faint' and 'Numb'), celebrates its twentieth anniversary on March 25.
The truth is that this theme was composed in 2003 on the occasion of the release of the album 'Meteora'. But, finally, it was not included in the tracklist. The band has wanted to take this song out of the drawer and has done it in the most special way, with the voice of the former leader of the band, Chester Bennington, who died in 2017 at the age of 41.
The band already shared the first seconds of this unpublished song with Bennington's voice on Monday. Also, a few days ago, the band replaced their social profile picture with a stylized version of the 'Meteora' cover. Then he launched a link in the posts, which take up the aesthetics of old PCs, leading to a screen inviting to download the Numb.exe file, a single taken from 'Meteora'.
As Californians have explained on their social networks, this song was born with the aim of remembering one of the band's first albums on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. The album published in 2003 was a success in the music industry, with which they sold more than 15 million copies worldwide. "Finding 'Lost' was like finding a favorite photo that you forgot you had taken, as if it were waiting for the right moment to reveal itself," said Mike Shinoda, one of the musicians who created the band.
