Linkin Park: Shadow Of The Day -[OFFICIAL Music Video]

Song structure and background information
The song opens with a reverse/edited keyboard loop, as mentioned in the booklet. Like some of their other songs such Breaking the Habit and Faint, this song uses samples of live string ensemble recordings. The samples come in before the second verse starts. Distorted guitar elements are only played after the second chorus. The lead is an 8-bar phrase which is later raised an octave. The end of the song, which is an intrumental piece, leads into the start of What I've Done It is the second-longest track on the album and features no vocals from Mike Shinoda. The song is a ballad and is sung in a more subdued and somber tone than lead singer Chester Bennington usually sings. The song details the difficulty of leaving home.

The song has been noted by several critics and fans to bear a similarity to U2's "With or Without You".
