Song

"A Line In The Sand" is a song written by American rock band Linkin Park. The song was originally recorded by the band for their sixth studio album, The Hunting Party, where it appears as the twelfth and final track on the album. Produced by Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson, the track is also the longest studio album song released by the band.

Composition

[edit]

In an interview, Mike Shinoda stated this song "encapsulates what the band is about." He also stated this was one of his favourite songs off The Hunting Party.

Background

[edit]

The lyrics are about Linkin Park standing up to the world and doing want. Because of this, they challenged the length of the song, as well as their skills as musicians, especially drummer Rob Bourdon, and guitarist, Brad Delson.

Reception

[edit]

In a track-by-track review by Billboard, the song was given a positive response and explained as "So returns the warped sonar synth effect heard on hits like 'Numb', and while it arrives in the opening seconds amid a rush of heavy guitars, 'Until It's Gone' quickly turns into a philosophical electro-rock mood piece. The buildup of blips in the bridge hints at a coming bass drop, but then the guitars kick back in, and Bennington belts out his clichéd lyrics for the middle schoolers in the cheap seats who don't know any better."[1]

Music video

[edit]

A lyric video to accompany the track was premiered on YouTube on May 5, 2014.[2] Directed by Austin Saya, the three-minute video was shot in Los Angeles, California.[3] An official music video was then released on June 11, 2014, directed by Joe Hahn.[4] The video was premiered on the band's official Facebook page, and is now uploaded on their official YouTube channel.[5] The video received a nomination at MTV Video Music Awards 2014 in the category for "Best Rock Video".
