"Wake" is the first song on Linkin Park's third studio album, Minutes To Midnight. It serves as an intro to the album as a whole.
Background
The booklet for the limited edition version of Minutes To Midnight contained information about each track on the album. About "Wake", it said "This short song was created near the end of the album writing process. Since a great deal of the gear they were experimenting with was from the 70’s and 80’s, the band thought the drop of a turntable needle onto vinyl was the best way to start the album. The dualmeaning of the word “wake” seemed an appropriate introduction to the record."
The April 2007 issue of a French magazine published a track by track of Minutes To Midnight on which Chester said, "This track required almost no involvement from Rick Rubin. The whole band composed this opening instrumental. We have never done this kind of work together."[1]
When asked why Linkin Park didn't make "Wake" a full song, Mike said, "I wrote it specifically as an album opener, that's why. Because of we were trying to think of an album opener, like what's the right tone to start the record. Rick and I had a bunch of different discussions. I made a bunch of different demos to start the record with. I don't remember which demos or beats I would have used; some of them may have been released as LPU tracks, I have no idea. I know that Wake was written specifically to be an intro though. He gave me these references like, King Crimson was one, and there might have been a Neil Young song, and as we were trying to figure it out, he was like "have you heard this song?" to see if one inspires you to get the right thing."[2]
