Linkin Park is
an American rock band from Agoura Hills, California. The band's current lineup comprises vocalist/rhythm
guitarist/keyboardist Mike Shinoda, lead guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave Farrell, DJ/turntablist Joe Hahn and drummer Rob Bourdon, all of whom are founding members. Vocalists
Mark Wakefield and Chester
Bennington are
former members of the band. Categorized as alternative rock, Linkin Park's earlier music spanned a fusion
of heavy
metal and
hip hop, while they later transitioned into more electronica- and pop-influenced music.
Formed in
1996, Linkin Park rose to international fame with their debut studio album, Hybrid Theory(2000), which became certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA). Released during the peak of the nu metal scene, the album's singles' heavy airplay on MTV
led the singles "One Step Closer",
"Crawling" and "In the End" all to chart highly on the Mainstream
Rock chart;
the latter crossed over to the pop chart. Their second album, Meteora(2003), continued the band's success. The band
explored experimental sounds on their third album, Minutes to Midnight (2007). By the end of the decade,
Linkin Park was among the most successful and popular rock acts.
"What
I've Done" is a song by American rock band Linkin Park. It was released as the first single from their third studio album, Minutes to Midnight(2007), and is the sixth track. The song is
composed in the key of G minor. The song was released as a radio single on April 1,
2007, as a digital download on April 2, and as a CD single on April 30. The live version of
"What I've Done" from Road to Revolution: Live at Milton Keynes was nominated for Best Hard Rock
Performance at the 52nd
Grammy Awards,
but did not win. It also serves as the main theme of the 2007 science fiction film Transformers and also appears on Transformers:
The Album (2007).
Being certified five times platinum by the RIAA, it is the band's most commercially successful single
in terms of pure sales, and reached number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100.
"What
I've Done" was featured in the video game Guitar
Hero World Tour.
In January 2011, it was released in a Linkin Park DLC pack for Rock Band 3. The song is also a B-side to the UK single of "Iridescent". An instrumental version of the song is
currently used by Sky UK as background music for their
interactive services.
In this farewell
There's no blood, there's no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth of a thousand lies
So let mercy come and wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty
So let mercy come and wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
What I've done
(Na-na, na, na)
(Na-na, na, na)
Forgiving what I've
done
(Na-na, na, na)
(Na-na, na, na)
(Na-na, na, na)
(Na-na, na).
