I hope that if a song is heard on its own in the world, it is something I am proud of and that it takes root in the listener and becomes part of the energy that connects us. It was a pleasure to select the songs from 'Papercuts'. Each track in this collection is both a singular moment in our timeline and an evolving story that is both ours and yours,” explains Mike Shinoda.
