Tarja - 'Numb' (Linkin Park cover, live video)

[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
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)

[Chester Bennington:]
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

[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause 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

[Chester Bennington:]
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

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 do
Is be more like me and be less like you

[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

Η Tarja Turunen (ή Tarja Soile Susanna Turunen Cabuli όπως είναι το πλήρες ονοματεπώνυμό της) έγινε γνωστή λόγω της παρουσίας της στους Nightwish, στους οποίους ήταν μέλος (τραγουδίστρια) από το 1996 έως και το 2005.

Μετά το "διαζύγιό" της με τους Φινλανδούς metallers ασχολείται κυρίως με την προσωπική της καριέρα έχοντας κυκλοφορήσει εννέα full length albums, τέσσερα EPs, πέντε live albums, μπόλικα singles και δύο συλλογές.

"Ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένος δίσκος είναι και το νέο της πόνημα. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Rocking Heels: Live at Metal Church", αποτελείται κατά βάση από διασκευές και αναμένεται τον επόμενο μήνα, με το δελτίο τύπου να (μας) δίνει τις λεπτομέρειες...

“Rocking Heels: Live at Metal Church” is the document of a very special concert in the idyllic setting of Wacken Church. It will be released on August 11th, 2023 on earMUSIC and is the first release of the live series “Rocking Heels”.

It will be available as a Ltd. 2LP Vinyl Edition, CD Digipak in LP-replica design and on Digital. In front of just 300 handpicked fans, this onetime-only event opened the Wacken Open Air Festival in 2016.

Tarja presents unique arrangements of rock and heavy metal classics by her favourite artists including “Numb” by Linkin Park, In Flames “Alias”, Metallica’s “The Unforgiven”, songs by Joe Satriani and Slipknot as well as a Nightwish song and Tarja originals.

Tarja's evocative voice, an intimate group of musicians and the sacred setting of Wacken Metal Church combine to transform this cover of In Flames' "Alias" into a hymn to our shared humanity and spirit, despite our differences and appearances.
