"to reach the truth that lies across this new divide"
"to reach the truth
that lies across this new divide"
~ the feel of the performance ~
A pulsing 2011 Red Square (Moscow, Russia) concert crowd becomes part of the powerful delivery by Linkin Park featuring their hard hitting rock song "New Divide" ~ full of edgy guitar, drum, and passionate front-man energy ~ surreal feel ~ like going on a journey ~ !!!
~ i dig the power rock edge and positivity ~
~ leaning into the wind of life ~
~ facing down our angels and demons ~
~ facing down our angels and demons ~
~ forging forward upon the path our soles alone must tread !!!
~ lyrical poetica ~
The lyrical theme feels a companion anthem to Linkin Park's 2007 soulful hit "What I've Done". Moving beyond the past, making amends, stride forward across the divide and chasm we created ourselves or by circumstances... no difference... we shall cross this great divide ?!!!
~ audiofile notes ~
This specific performance brings out what I love about this song more than any of the other performance or productions. I'd enjoy hearing other sound mastering on other formats ~ vinyl, CD, lossless ~ because there is a dynamic range and tonal quality that could be missed or muddied unless a Zen Master Sound Engineer in the specific medium brings it to life. The power edge of the rock seems to get lost in amplification instead of dynamic range way too often. Either way my ears hear "my version of the song" easiest in this mix. For example, the official video's audio mix just does not capture it for me. Often it's all in the sound engineers hands... and our ears quirky preferences ?
"New Divide"
by Linkin Park
I remember black skies
The lightning all around me
I remember each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect this space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
There was nothing inside
The memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
Between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Across this new divide
In every loss in every lie
In every truth that you deny
And each regret and each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect this space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
