One of my favourite songs on Linkin Parks most recent album 'The Hunting Party,' is the song 'Final Masquerade'. And it was a month or so ago that they released an acoustic version of this song, which I absolutely love. I still like the original the best, but this stripped back version is so beautiful, with incredible harmonies that you mightn't have noticed in their other songs. They are a truly incredible band, because, let's be honest, if a metal band can produce tear-triggering acoustic pieces, they have talent.
With the acoustic guitar and the piano to accompany the voices of Chester Bennington and Dave Farrell... it's just a perfect song. It is such a sad song, lyrics bringing up such vivid imagery, it's as if they are painting a picture with their music. For example:

"The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday,
With shadows floating over, the scars begin to fade."
It's just so poetic and I am really nerd-ing out now, because I love words so much! Anyway, this is a perfect song to listen to if you can't get to sleep (I just realised that I tend to put up a lot of songs that are good late-night listening. Well, insomnia does allow you to come up with decent music playlists, I guess). So, it's one of those songs that if you are unable to sleep, you can sit in the darkness and look out of your window. That should be a music genre I think: 'looking-out-the-window-music.'
Hope you like this version of 'Final Masquerade'
