The booklet for the limited edition version of ''Minutes To Midnight'' revealed that the song remained largely unchanged throughout the album sessions, stating "''The final version of this track is virtually the same as the first demo of the song. Very little changed between the first incarnation of the music, and the final version that appears on the album. The lyrics, however, were one place where the most work took place. The chorus of this song, working-titled “Fear,” went through over 30 lyric variations before arriving at this version.''"  
In a March 2007 article promoting the album, Brad said about the untitled song still going by two working titles "When My Time Comes" or "Leave Out All The Rest", ''"It's a really moody, almost electronic-based song. Lyrically, I can definitively say this is our strongest record, and in particular, this song I really connect to personally. I think it’s a really touching song.''"<ref>[https://www.reuters.com/article/music-linkin-dc/clock-strikes-midnight-for-linkin-park-album-idUSN0644354620070307 Reuters: Clock strikes "Midnight" for Linkin Park album], March 6, 2007</ref> The April 2007 issue of a French magazine published a track by track of ''Minutes To Midnight'' on which Chester said, ''"Mike wrote the main melody, the song itself is quite pop, but I think the fans will love it."''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070526181938/http://lprussia.com/index.php?page=dedication&id=articles&this_id=m2mtracklist-fr LPRussia.com ~ Первый о Linkin Park ~ wap.LPRussia.com], April 22, 2007</ref> Some publications noted the song has a Ministry sound to it and Rob was asked if it was sampled, to which he answered, ''"No, that's a completely original song. I don't know if anyone in the band listens to that much Ministry. I think it's more of a coincidence that it sounds like that. But I've heard other people comment on that too, saying it sounds like Ministry."''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070824105029/http://www.livedaily.com/news/12493.html LiveDaily Interview: Rob Bourdon of Linkin Park &gt;&gt; Tour dates and concert ticket info  &gt;&gt; LiveDaily], July 19, 2007</ref><ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070822211639/http://lptimes.com/news2007/july/news07192007.html The Linkin Park Times - Interviews &amp; Articles], July 19, 2007</ref>

Chester Bennington, in an issue of Kerrang!, talked about some of the meaning behind "Leave Out All The Rest", saying "''We knew this was going to be a single from the very beginning, so we worked really hard on making sure it had some great lyrics. I'm singing 'Pretending someone else can save me from myself' during it because it's supposed to feel like an apology letter, as though I'm moving on but I want people to remember the good things and not the bad things.

At the end of the ''Minutes To Midnight'' recording sessions, Linkin Park invited composer David Campbell back, who they previously worked with on ''[[Meteora]]'', to add string arrangements to six songs, four of which made the album outright - "Leave Out All The Rest", "[[Shadow Of The Day]]", "[[Hands Held High]]", "[[The Little Things Give You Away]]", bonus track "[[No Roads Left]]", and outtake "[[Blackbirds]]". David Campbell, Mike, and Brad wrote the string arrangements, with David conducting the violin, viola, cello, and bass performances which are highlighted on the album's DVD.

==Demo==
Linkin Park released a demo for "Leave Out All The Rest" on the ''[[LP Underground 9: Demos]]'' album in November 2009, titled "Fear." Mike said about the demo, ''"The evolution from "fear" to LOATR was a pretty standard evolution, for us.  Most of our songs start as one thing, then change as we work on them, until they sound right. Not that Fear is bad, it's just undercooked (to me). But there's a beauty in that undercooked-ness that we wanted you guys to hear. Nobody ever gets to hear it but us, usually."''<ref>[http://blackchester.de/files/LPU9TranscriptMike.txt LPU9TranscriptMike], December 09, 2009</ref>


A demo version of the song, called "Fear", would later be released on the ''[[LP Underground 9: Demos|LP Underground 9.0: Demos]]'' CD. About this version, Mike said, ''"The evolution from "fear" to LOATR was a pretty standard evolution, for us. Most of our songs start as one thing, then change as we work on them, until they sound right.  Not that Fear is bad, it's just undercooked (to me). But there's a beauty in that undercooked-ness that we wanted you guys to hear.  Nobody ever gets to hear it but us, usually usually."''<ref>[http://blackchester.de/files/LPU9TranscriptMike.txt LPU9TranscriptMike], December 09, 2009</ref>
"Fear" is structured in the same way as "Leave Out All The Rest", with mostly gibberish and "scat" lyrics in the verses. The melody is the same as the final version of the song, but the demo just skips the second verse and chorus and goes straight from the first chorus to the bridge. Mike is on vocals for the entire duration of the song.

Mike Shinoda said "Leave Out All The Rest" is one of his favorite videos Linkin Park have done.<ref>[https://twitter.com/mikeshinoda/status/964541090404605953 Mike Shinoda on Twitter: &quot;My other favorites were probably “Waiting For The End” and “Leave Out All The Rest,” directed by @joehahnLP ❤️🤙🏽🔥&quot; .], February 16, 2018</ref>
Linkin Park received numerous treatments for "Leave Out All The Rest" but didn't connect to any of them until they received an e-mail from Joe Hahn with his own treatment. They loved it because it was different from everything he'd done with the band. The video depicts a day in the life of Linkin Park as if they all lived in a futuristic artificial habitat that's making its way across the galaxy. Joe explained, ''"We're explorers in space, just like when we go on tour. We're leaving our home life behind, and I guess it kind of ties into 'Leave Out All the Rest,' in that we have to leave things behind in order to do something better."'' Shooting took place in mid-March 2008 in front of a green screen in a warehouse in Van Nuys, California.<ref name="MTV"/> The band worked with visual design studio Giantsteps to produce the original imagery for the video. Ryan Thompson, creative director & co-founder, said, ''"Our tenth project for director and music producer Joe Hahn loosely construes the social and technical challenges of NuMetal stardom against the backdrop of deep space, in this popular video inspired by the film Sunshine. Our original designs of an immersive data-space and approaching sun play prominent roles amidst many other graphic effects. The video (and of course single) have proven immensely popular."''<ref>[https://www.giantsteps.us/portfolio/linkin-park/ Linkin Park, &quot;Leave Out All The Rest&quot; Joe Hahn | Radical Media - Giantsteps | A Brand of Vision]</ref> Mike Shinoda later said this is one of his favorite videos Linkin Park have done.<ref>[https://twitter.com/mikeshinoda/status/964541090404605953 Mike Shinoda on Twitter: &quot;My other favorites were probably “Waiting For The End” and “Leave Out All The Rest,” directed by @joehahnLP ❤️🤙🏽🔥&quot; .], February 16, 2018</ref>
 
The release date was announced on May 30, 2008 via Linkin Park's MySpace page, ''"Linkin Park's next single off Minutes to Midnight will be "Leave Out All The Rest." The band recently shot a video for the song, which was directed by Joe Hahn, and will premiere Monday, June 2! Be sure to check out all your favorite video channels on Monday to see the new video. It's out of this world!"'' However, the video was published by MTV Nederland on the same day and made its way across the internet.<ref>[https://www.lpassociation.com/forum/threads/leave-out-all-the-rest-video-premiere.27914/ Leave Out All the Rest Video Premiere | LP Association Forums], May 30, 2008</ref> Due to the continued success of "[[Given Up]]" in Germany, Warner Bros. Records postponed the release in the country.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puHrDpSf_RM Linkin Park - Leave Out All The Rest Live in München - YouTube], August 04, 2009</ref>
 
A couple days after the official release, Mike revealed this was going to be the last single from ''Minutes To Midnight'' and asked fans to help them promote it.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080707142359/http://forums.linkinpark.com/showpost.php?p=366917&postcount=1 OFFICIAL LINKIN PARK MESSAGE BOARD - View Single Post - Leave Out All The Rest -- Last Single], June 04, 2008</ref> LPUnderground members were asked to record a video introducing the new single in their native language and submit it until June 25. A license form for the videos was available for download on the fan club's website along with further details and instructions.

"Leave Out All The Rest" was a key part of setlists in the ''Minutes To Midnight'' era. During live performances, Phoenix contributed electric guitar instead of bass, a first for him. Mike said he does it to cover the low end sound on the song live, so it doesn't require live bass. The song debuted on the ''Minutes To Midnight'' European Tour, where it was sandwiched between "[[From The Inside]]" and "[[Numb]]" in the middle of the set. When the band introduced rotating sets, "Leave Out All The Rest" was only featured in Set C. At the second night in [http://lplive.net/shows/db/2007/20071015 Melbourne, Australia], Chester broke his wrist during the beginning of "[[Papercut]]", so after the band performed "Leave Out All The Rest", Chester went to get it check out backstage. While he did so, the band performed a short instrumental jam after the song. The song experienced the same generosity in 2008, with it only being part of Set R of the three new sets on the first ''Minutes To Midnight'' European Tour. The song finally got more attention on the second ''Minutes To Midnight'' European Tour of 2008, where it was featured in all three setlists: it's typical position in Set X, mid-set after "[[Points Of Authority]]" in Set Y, and late-set after "[[Crawling]]" in Set Z. The song retained these positions for the rest of the year.

The song was initially not part of the setlists at the beginning of the ''[[A Thousand Suns]]'' touring cycle. After reading a thread on LPLive about the lack of changing setlists on the tour, the band added "[[Lying From You]]" and "Leave Out All The Rest" into the setlists unrehearsed, replacing "Papercut" and "[[The Messenger]]" respectively. This first began mid-tour in [[Live:20101027|Köln, Germany]], and alternated every other show. This was the first time that the song had been featured in the encore. The song made it into Set B on the ''A Thousand Suns'' Australian Tour, where it segued out of the extended outro of "Numb", but was replaced by "[[Burning In The Skies]]" at the second performance of Set B. "Leave Out All The Rest" was performed only once in 2011, at the show in [[Live:20110125|Detroit, Michigan]] on the ''A Thousand Suns'' North American Tour.
 
The song returned in 2012, on the ''[[Living Things]]'' touring cycle, but in a new light. It was the first part of the newly introduced "[[LOATR/SOTD/Iridescent]]" medley, which was performed in the same spot in the setlists (after "[[Breaking The Habit]]") throughout the entire touring cycle. At the 7th LPU Summit in [[Live:20121107|Cape Town, South Africa]], a potential rehearsal setlist was found, which featured the studio version of "Leave Out All The Rest", however, the song was not played in that form. At the band's [[Live:20140111|Concert For The Philipinnes]] event in early 2014, The Filharmonic from the show "Sing Off" joined the band for the "[[Iridescent]]" portion of the medley. A different medley was performed in March 2014, at the band's honoring at the [[Live:20140321|UCLA Evening of Environmental Excellence]] - instead of featuring "Iridescent" at the end, the band took the Ballad Medley and replaced that portion of the song with "What I've Done".

The Ballad Medley remained as part of the setlists on ''[[The Hunting Party]]'' touring cycle, always being played after the Experience Version of "[[Castle Of Glass]]". On ''The Hunting Party'' European Tour at the end of the year, as well as the shortlived ''The Hunting Party'' North American Tour in 2015, Aaron Pauley from Of Mice & Men began joining the band for the "Iridescent" portion of the Ballad Medley near the end of the European Tour, beginning in [[Live:20141122|Manchester, England]].

The full band version of "Leave Out All The Rest" finally returned on the ''[[One More Light]]'' Tour, where the band performed a new version of the song. Dubbed the 2017 Version, it began with a piano intro with Mike singing the chorus, leading into a full band jam with Brad performing a new guitar part that mirrored the chorus melody. During the final chorus, the guitar followed the vocal melodies, and Chester would repeat "leave out all the rest" three times before the final verse of the song. It was always performed after the piano version of "Crawling." When the band performed the song at the [[Live:20171027|Hollywood Bowl]] tribute show, the 2017 Version was performed with Gavin Rossdale from Bush and a live orchestra.

The 2017 version of "Leave Out All The Rest" became a staple of the ''[[From Zero]]'' World Tour set, opening Act 4 of the set. The song was played with the intro sample from "Iridescent" preceding it. Like "Points Of Authority", Mike takes over lead vocals during the verses.

"Leave Out All The Rest" is the third song on Linkin Park's third studio album, Minutes To Midnight. The track was released as the fifth and final single from the album on July 14, 2008. The song also appeared on the Twilight soundtrack, and during the end credits of the movie.

Background

In a March 2007 article promoting the album, Brad said about the untitled song still going by two working titles "When My Time Comes" or "Leave Out All The Rest", "It's a really moody, almost electronic-based song. Lyrically, I can definitively say this is our strongest record, and in particular, this song I really connect to personally. I think it’s a really touching song."[2] The April 2007 issue of a French magazine published a track by track of Minutes To Midnight on which Chester said, "Mike wrote the main melody, the song itself is quite pop, but I think the fans will love it."[3] Some publications noted the song has a Ministry sound to it and Rob was asked if it was sampled, to which he answered, "No, that's a completely original song. I don't know if anyone in the band listens to that much Ministry. I think it's more of a coincidence that it sounds like that. But I've heard other people comment on that too, saying it sounds like Ministry."[4][5]

The booklet for the limited edition version of Minutes To Midnight revealed that the song remained largely unchanged throughout the album sessions, stating "The final version of this track is virtually the same as the first demo of the song. Very little changed between the first incarnation of the music, and the final version that appears on the album. The lyrics, however, were one place where the most work took place. The chorus of this song, working-titled “Fear,” went through over 30 lyric variations before arriving at this version."

Chester Bennington, in an issue of Kerrang!, talked about some of the meaning behind "Leave Out All The Rest", saying "We knew this was going to be a single from the very beginning, so we worked really hard on making sure it had some great lyrics. I'm singing 'Pretending someone else can save me from myself' during it because it's supposed to feel like an apology letter, as though I'm moving on but I want people to remember the good things and not the bad things. A lot of the song is about humility."[6][7] Mike Shinoda mentioned how he had grown attached to the song throughout the writing sessions for Minutes To Midnight, and Rick Rubin mentioned how he, like Bennington, knew that it would become a single.[8] In the Making Of Minutes To Midnight DVD, the band is shown considering "Leave Out All The Rest", or simply just "All The Rest", for the album's title.[9]

At the end of the Minutes To Midnight recording sessions, Linkin Park invited composer David Campbell back, who they previously worked with on Meteora, to add string arrangements to six songs, four of which made the album outright - "Leave Out All The Rest", "Shadow Of The Day", "Hands Held High", "The Little Things Give You Away", bonus track "No Roads Left", and outtake "Blackbirds". David Campbell, Mike, and Brad wrote the string arrangements, with David conducting the violin, viola, cello, and bass performances which are highlighted on the album's DVD.

Demo

Linkin Park released a demo for "Leave Out All The Rest" on the LP Underground 9: Demos album in November 2009, titled "Fear." Mike said about the demo, "The evolution from "fear" to LOATR was a pretty standard evolution, for us. Most of our songs start as one thing, then change as we work on them, until they sound right. Not that Fear is bad, it's just undercooked (to me). But there's a beauty in that undercooked-ness that we wanted you guys to hear. Nobody ever gets to hear it but us, usually."[10]

"Fear" is structured in the same way as "Leave Out All The Rest", with mostly gibberish and "scat" lyrics in the verses. The melody is the same as the final version of the song, but the demo just skips the second verse and chorus and goes straight from the first chorus to the bridge. Mike is on vocals for the entire duration of the song.

Remix

On the Japanese version of the "Leave Out All The Rest" single, a remix done by Mike Shinoda is included, officially titled on the CD as "L.O.A.T.R. (M. Shinoda Remix)." Parts of this remix were used as the introduction to LPTV episodes in 2009.

The intro to the song was redone in an 8-bit style and released as a ringtone in support of 8-Bit Rebellion!.

Music Video

Linkin Park received numerous treatments for "Leave Out All The Rest" but didn't connect to any of them until they received an e-mail from Joe Hahn with his own treatment. They loved it because it was different from everything he'd done with the band. The video depicts a day in the life of Linkin Park as if they all lived in a futuristic artificial habitat that's making its way across the galaxy. Joe explained, "We're explorers in space, just like when we go on tour. We're leaving our home life behind, and I guess it kind of ties into 'Leave Out All the Rest,' in that we have to leave things behind in order to do something better." Shooting took place in mid-March 2008 in front of a green screen in a warehouse in Van Nuys, California.[8] The band worked with visual design studio Giantsteps to produce the original imagery for the video. Ryan Thompson, creative director & co-founder, said, "Our tenth project for director and music producer Joe Hahn loosely construes the social and technical challenges of NuMetal stardom against the backdrop of deep space, in this popular video inspired by the film Sunshine. Our original designs of an immersive data-space and approaching sun play prominent roles amidst many other graphic effects. The video (and of course single) have proven immensely popular."[11] Mike Shinoda later said this is one of his favorite videos Linkin Park have done.[12]

The release date was announced on May 30, 2008 via Linkin Park's MySpace page, "Linkin Park's next single off Minutes to Midnight will be "Leave Out All The Rest." The band recently shot a video for the song, which was directed by Joe Hahn, and will premiere Monday, June 2! Be sure to check out all your favorite video channels on Monday to see the new video. It's out of this world!" However, the video was published by MTV Nederland on the same day and made its way across the internet.[13] Due to the continued success of "Given Up" in Germany, Warner Bros. Records postponed the release in the country.[14]

A couple days after the official release, Mike revealed this was going to be the last single from Minutes To Midnight and asked fans to help them promote it.[15] LPUnderground members were asked to record a video introducing the new single in their native language and submit it until June 25. A license form for the videos was available for download on the fan club's website along with further details and instructions. The videos were included in the Linkin Park Network widget just before the making of "Leave Out All The Rest" video.[16]

Linkin Park

"Leave Out All The Rest" was a key part of setlists in the Minutes To Midnight era. During live performances, Phoenix contributed electric guitar instead of bass, a first for him. Mike said he does it to cover the low end sound on the song live, so it doesn't require live bass. The song debuted on the Minutes To Midnight European Tour, where it was sandwiched between "From The Inside" and "Numb" in the middle of the set. When the band introduced rotating sets, "Leave Out All The Rest" was only featured in Set C. At the second night in Melbourne, Australia, Chester broke his wrist during the beginning of "Papercut", so after the band performed "Leave Out All The Rest", Chester went to get it check out backstage. While he did so, the band performed a short instrumental jam after the song. The song experienced the same generosity in 2008, with it only being part of Set R of the three new sets on the first Minutes To Midnight European Tour. The song finally got more attention on the second Minutes To Midnight European Tour of 2008, where it was featured in all three setlists: it's typical position in Set X, mid-set after "Points Of Authority" in Set Y, and late-set after "Crawling" in Set Z. The song retained these positions for the rest of the year.

The song was initially not part of the setlists at the beginning of the A Thousand Suns touring cycle. After reading a thread on LPLive about the lack of changing setlists on the tour, the band added "Lying From You" and "Leave Out All The Rest" into the setlists unrehearsed, replacing "Papercut" and "The Messenger" respectively. This first began mid-tour in Köln, Germany, and alternated every other show. This was the first time that the song had been featured in the encore. The song made it into Set B on the A Thousand Suns Australian Tour, where it segued out of the extended outro of "Numb", but was replaced by "Burning In The Skies" at the second performance of Set B. "Leave Out All The Rest" was performed only once in 2011, at the show in Detroit, Michigan on the A Thousand Suns North American Tour.

The song returned in 2012, on the Living Things touring cycle, but in a new light. It was the first part of the newly introduced "LOATR/SOTD/Iridescent" medley, which was performed in the same spot in the setlists (after "Breaking The Habit") throughout the entire touring cycle. At the 7th LPU Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, a potential rehearsal setlist was found, which featured the studio version of "Leave Out All The Rest", however, the song was not played in that form. At the band's Concert For The Philipinnes event in early 2014, The Filharmonic from the show "Sing Off" joined the band for the "Iridescent" portion of the medley. A different medley was performed in March 2014, at the band's honoring at the UCLA Evening of Environmental Excellence - instead of featuring "Iridescent" at the end, the band took the Ballad Medley and replaced that portion of the song with "What I've Done".

The Ballad Medley remained as part of the setlists on The Hunting Party touring cycle, always being played after the Experience Version of "Castle Of Glass". On The Hunting Party European Tour at the end of the year, as well as the shortlived The Hunting Party North American Tour in 2015, Aaron Pauley from Of Mice & Men began joining the band for the "Iridescent" portion of the Ballad Medley near the end of the European Tour, beginning in Manchester, England.

The full band version of "Leave Out All The Rest" finally returned on the One More Light Tour, where the band performed a new version of the song. Dubbed the 2017 Version, it began with a piano intro with Mike singing the chorus, leading into a full band jam with Brad performing a new guitar part that mirrored the chorus melody. During the final chorus, the guitar followed the vocal melodies, and Chester would repeat "leave out all the rest" three times before the final verse of the song. It was always performed after the piano version of "Crawling." When the band performed the song at the Hollywood Bowl tribute show, the 2017 Version was performed with Gavin Rossdale from Bush and a live orchestra.

The 2017 version of "Leave Out All The Rest" became a staple of the From Zero World Tour set, opening Act 4 of the set. The song was played with the intro sample from "Iridescent" preceding it. Like "Points Of Authority", Mike takes over lead vocals during the verses.

Lyrics

Album Version

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here
So if you're asking me I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So if you're asking me I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting / All the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending / Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting / All the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending / Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

Fear

Looked in the ocean
Looked in the sea
Found her often
Watching for me
Left the door open
Left the door wide
As she often
Kept it inside

And if you're badder than fact phone z
Phend it back to me
Sitting front pitter badder than b
Even badder than phint to phone badder
Than the patter in friends
Who gutter the prat
The friday on the patter you plumped
You're getting thrown even badder than bomb
Don't trust
And if you don't then you're fighting for what

We're fighting for a place
We can call home
Looking for a way
Not to be alone

Fighting for a place
We can call home
Looking for a way
Not to be alone
Not to be alone

Do na na
Da na na na na na na na
Do na na
Da na na na na na na na
Do na na
Da na na na na na na na
Do na na
Da na na na na na na na
Do na na na na na

We're fighting for a place
We can call home
Looking for a way
Not to be alone

Fighting for a place
We can call home
Looking for a way
Not to be alone
Not to be alone

Cover Versions

American pop rock band Boyce Avenue recorded an acoustic version of "Leave Out All The Rest" for their Acoustic Sessions, Vol. 1 EP which was released in 2008. The track is exclusive to the iTunes version of the EP.[20]

Boston-based alternative rock band Major Moment released a cover of "Leave Out All The Rest" on July 20, 2018 as a tribute to Chester Bennington. The track was mastered and engineered by Adam Ayan, who also mastered Linkin Park's Live In Texas. All the proceeds from the single were donated to 320 Changes Direction, a charity founded by Chester’s wife Talinda to spread awareness about mental health and depression.[21] Vocalist Andrey Borzykin said, "Being a lifelong fan of Linkin Park, I wanted to pay a tribute to Chester, who was and still is my inspiration, my role model as a vocalist, performer, and a kind person. His voice has been with me through some dark moments in life, heartbreaks, failures, but also helped me to find that one person who I consider a perfect woman and who I love endlessly. I had an instant vision of how this song should go, I wanted to add some more dynamics to it and perform this song in the most respectful way possible."[22]
