Choosing a favorite song was rather difficult. Since I could not think of just one song to pick, I decided to just choose my favorite band, Linkin Park, then my favorite album of their's, Meteora, then I picked my favorite song on the album, Numb. Below are the lyrics to the song.
"I'm tired of being what you want me to be feeling so faithless lost under the surface I don't know what you're expecting of me put under the pressure of walking in your shoes [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]I've become so numb I can't feel you there become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming this all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you can't you see that you're smothering meholding too tightly afraid to lose controlcause 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 I'm becoming this all I want to do is be more like meand 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 I'm becoming this all I want to dois be more like me and be less like you I've become so numb I can't feel you there Is everything what you want me to beI've become so numbI can't feel you thereIs everything what you want me to be"
For the cultural impact, I looked at what the band has done culturally. Linkin Park has been involved in a lot of different charitable acts. They helped raise money for hurricane charley victims in 2004, and hurricane katrina victims in 2005. They have donated over $75,000 to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation in March, 2004. They helped relief efforts for the 2004 tsunami victims by staging several charity concerts and setting up a fund called "Music for Relief." They performed at Live 8, which was a series of charitable benefit concerts set up to raise global awareness.
