Music truly possesses the power to heal.
Recently, Cristina Settanni was driving down the 408 expressway in Orlando, Florida when she saw a man sitting on the overpass, overlooking the edge. In a moment of pure charity and kindness, she stopped her car and went to join the man to ensure he was alright.
Her first instinct to comfort the obviously pain-stricken man? Recite a particularly resonating lyric from Linkin Park song, “One More Light.”
“Who cares if one more light goes out? / I do.”
“I don’t know if it clicked with him, but he just cried,” Settanni told an ABC reporter.
A police officer arrived soon after Settanni approached the man and removed him from danger. He has since been moved to a mental institution to receive care.
Chester Bennington, the lead singer of Linkin Park, tragically took his own life in 2017. Since then “One More Light” — which is the title track of Linkin Park’s final album — has served as a memento to Bennington’s legacy. He would undoubtedly be proud that his music is still helping people find peace.
