This song differs from most of Linkin Park's songs from previous albums in that it features almost no lead vocals from vocalist Shinoda, with the exception of a brief 'na na na' refrain at the end. When the song is played live at Linkin Park's concerts, Mike Shinoda plays the piano intro and the guitar after that. It starts out with a short 3-second guitar part and then a piano motif, before adding a hip hop-inspired drum line, and then introducing a raw-sounding guitar riff. The song is composed in the key of G minor. Problems playing this file? See media help.
