《变形金刚真人版》片尾曲what i've done

"What I've Done" is a song by the American rock band Linkin Park, and the first single from their third studio album, Minutes to Midnight. The song was released as a radio single on April 1, 2007, as a digital download on April 2, and as a CD single on April 30.

Chester Bennington described the track in a March 2007 interview with MTV:

“ Joe [Hahn] came up to Mike and me and asked us to take the whole idea of Minutes to Midnight and apply that to how the band has changed. So, in a way, it's us saying goodbye to how we used to be...The lyrics in the first verse are 'In this farewell, there's no blood, there's no alibi,' and right away, you'll notice that the band sounds different: The drums are much more raw, the guitars are more raw and the vocals aren't tripled. It's just us out there ... and that's how Rick Rubin wanted it.[1] ”

The single and video appeared in the iTunes Store shortly after midnight EST on April 2, 2007. It became available the day after on iTunes in the UK and Australia. On April 2, the song was featured streaming on the front page of their official website, with the video being added to the site shortly thereafter.

The song starts out with a piano riff, before adding a hip hop-inspired drum line, and then introducing a raw-sounding guitar riff. When the song is played live at Linkin Park's concerts, Mike Shinoda plays the piano intro and the guitar after that. This song differs from most of Linkin Park's previously released songs (except "Breaking the Habit") in that it features almost no lead vocals from vocalist Mike Shinoda, save for a brief "na na na" refrain at the end and contributing harmonies throughout. "What I've Done" was the last song written for Minutes to Midnight.[2] The song also has a downbeat exactly once every second, consistent throughout its entirety

Rolling Stone magazine's David Fricke noted the "balled-fist guilt" of the song.[3]
