Mike Shinoda was invited by Electronic Arts to compose the music in Medal of Honor: Warfighter to "add depth and emotion" to the game. Strings in the album booklet, is more than likely the other song. "Castle Of Glass", being the only song on the album for which Shinoda is credited for Shinoda wound up composing the strings for the other song. Owen Pallett, who worked on " I'll Be Gone", was initially going to work on two songs off Living Things, but ended up only having time for one.
they can be felt on so many different levels." And it was a really interesting twist I think a lot of our lyrics can be taken from multiple perspectives, depending on what you want the song to be about. I'm thinking like 'Yeah, if you zoom in, I'm this little broken part of this castle that no one knows about, and I may seem like flawed and not important, but when you back up and look at the big picture, you're part of this really beautiful thing that keeps you together. And here I am, envisioning this big, beautiful glass castle on a hill, and, like, unicorns. When Mike was talking about the lyrics, at one point he had said, 'You know, it's kind of like finding yourself as this broken part of this big machine, and feeling like you're not part of that, or trying to find your place in the bigger scheme of things.' And that can mean a solider coming home from war, and trying to fit back into society, or a person getting out of prison, or whatever.
is really mostly narrative and it’s kind of the story of the families and the soldiers that this game is based on." Ĭhester Bennington talked about the song, and how different the ways in which he and Shinoda had interpreted the lyrics, saying " You can look at a song like 'CASTLE OF GLASS,' which for me, has one of the most interesting opposing points of view. And this song is an example of that the lyrics can have multiple meanings, be it a soldier’s story an individual at home, dealing with a personal relationship. Shinoda also cited "Castle Of Glass" as an example of Living Things's more personal themes, stating " This album tends to be a little more of a personal record, compared to the last record, which I guess I would say was a little more political. He wasn't saying it was better or worse, just that it's different." Shinoda's vocal on the first verse and chorus, however, came from his demo." Mike explained, "Rick told us while we were in the studio this time, he is positive no other band writes the way we do. So yeah, so it became the next, when we started recording the album, this is one of the first songs that we started working on." īillbaord said, "And "Castle of Glass" began as a folk song with a Johnny Cash rhythm that, as the band added parts, took on more of an indie rock edge with futuristic samples. I played it for Brad but I didn't really play for the other guys in the band and I don't think I played it for Rick Rubin either. It's gonna be kinda starting the next record.' So I put it away. but I remember thinking 'okay, this is great but it doesn't fit on A Thousand Suns. Some of the words were a little bit different. " Cause I don't think I've said that before, but it was one of those things where I'd written the demo and it was very similar to what ended up being the actual final song. He says it is one of the last things to come from the A Thousand Suns sessions. Pretty much everything through the first chorus remained unchanged from the initial demo version of the song to the final album released track as revealed by Mike Shinoda. A digital EP was released on Main Europe. The physical single was released on Febru after being pushed back several times. The single was released on Novemwith proceeds going to the Help for Heroes campaign. " The Catalyst" was used for the 2010 Medal Of Honor game, and " Lies Greed Misery" was also used for Medal Of Honor: Warfighter. The track was used during the promotion of Danger Close Game's Medal of Honor: Warfighter, which is the third song the band has contributed to the franchise. "Castle Of Glass" is the sixth track off of Linkin Park's fifth studio album, Living Things, and the third single to be released from it.
