Linkin Park, a super rock group that has not released a new song in 4 years, returns to the music scene. Its new studio album "Minutes To Midnight", which has been eagerly awaited by music fans around the world, was launched in May. The album's first new single "What I've Done" was also simultaneously broadcast around the world on April 3.
As the name of the album, "Minutes To Midnight", the creation behind it is particularly thought-provoking. What it wants to express is actually the concept of "Doomsday Clock". The "Doomsday Clock" is one of the most famous symbols of the atomic age. Every movement of its hands symbolizes a step closer to war or peace. The "Doomsday Clock" was established and managed by the American magazine "Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists". Its midnight hour symbolizes world disaster or the end of the world; the distance between the time pointed by the clock hands and midnight symbolizes the risk of the world facing a devastating disaster. And "Midnight" represents the time of death. At present, after 18 adjustments, under the influence of nuclear weapons, abnormal weather, and environmental pollution, the world is only five minutes away from destruction at midnight.
As the much-anticipated first single of the new album, the music video of "What I've Done" uses a montage technique to illustrate the events that have occurred on the earth in the past half century and are enough to affect all humans, animals, and plants. Major events concerning the right to exist are recorded, including: political chaos, unnecessary wars and killings caused by ethnic conflicts, the collapse of natural ecology caused by lack of awareness of environmental protection, the melting of century-old glaciers, the endangered species of polar bears and other precious creatures, and the challenges faced by mankind at the end of the century. Feeling anxious and restless, resorting to extreme means such as taking drugs to temporarily escape reality, etc.
Band member Mike said that the style of this song will be completely different from the past. Lead singer Chester also said in a previous interview: "This song represents the change of our band. It can be said that it is a change from the past. We say goodbye.
"It is reported that the MV was directed and filmed by band member Mr. Hahn, and the filming location was in California.
