Song Information: This soundtrack is beyond praise. It’s one of the most perfect songs that was ever made. With the soothing and soulful music in spite of being a rock metal, makes us attracted to this song from the very first time we hear it. Numb is one of those musical pieces that talks about the feelings of an introvert teenager who has been outcast and ignored by everyone around her. Well this is a feeling everyone at some point has encountered specially during the time of puberty. That’s why the number is so endearing to the masses specially to the teens. The song is also enchanting because of Chester’s intensely powerful and sturdy vocals. His enigmatic voice has a very insanely dulcet yet strong tonal quality and that’s why the melancholic expressions and the angry outburst, both have been beautifully brought out to us by his voice. He sings the verses in a very gentle and smooth manner and shows the strength of his voice in the chorus.
