Xero - Fuse

I have a bunch of remixes collected over the years from old LP fan websites. I just found them and thought to share them since they were one of the first remixes done by some well known fans nowadays. There were no stems at that time. Hope you'll like them.

This one is stated Alternative. I am not sure if its fan made or not. So, if anyone knows anything about it, please let me know. :) 



Linkin Park -  Part Of Me (Alternate)

NOTE: This is Version 2 of an earlier recreation I did.

“Deftest” was an early Xero demo written by Mike Shinoda and Mark Wakefield around the same time as “Dialate”, before the band was formed. It was first mentioned by Mike on Twitch on October 15, 2020. He was questioned about it on October 20, to which he said, "LPLive is now trying to get locked on to Deftest as the new Pictureboard. Pictureboard is a pay off. Other demos, not so much. If you were to hear that, you would not be... I strongly suggest you don't start putting your attention on Deftest. That is not a thing to do. Pictureboard, you hear it, "Wow that's cool, I'm so glad we were so focused on that song." No I never said Pictureboard was a bad song. It has Chester on it. Deftest, Mark and I did like a four track cassette version of it and it sounds like s***. You guys don't want that, trust me. It's D-E-F-T-E-S-T by the way, not D-E-A-F, because Mark was a big fan of the Deftones. And we were just testing out ideas. So you can tell just right away, from the name itself, that it is not a grail. This is not an incredible f***ing thing. Trust me on this."

The full song remains unreleased to this day, but a snippet of the song was played by Dave Garrett (former bassist of Karma and Relative Degree, in which Relative Degree is the band that Mark Wakefield, Brad Delson, and Rob Bourdon were in before Xero was formed by Mark and Mike Shinoda, in which both Brad and Rob joined them thereafter) during his interview with LPLive.

This is what Dave said about “Deftest”: “I remember Mark bringing it back to me being like “Dude, I gotta gotta show you something” and I got to hear Dialate and Deftest for the first time and just like, you know, mind blown. It was freaking everything we ever would want. And back then it was definitely more separated when you think of the verse versus the chorus and what was rap versus rock. I think Linkin Park did a really good job of merging the two more. But man, it sounded… you know? Even though it was really raw. It was just like a little 4-track or whatever. I still listen to some of that stuff today and it just gives me the chills. That is the Deftest that I guess everybody’s been… I didn’t realize that had been a big deal.”

Xero - Deftest (Xero Demo) [Full Song Mockup]

“Alive on Purpose” is a cinematic, emotionally charged conscious rap about the wheel of life - from first breath to final ash. It asks: What do we really achieve, and what does it mean to live?

[Intro]
Tick… tock… lungs draw maps in my chest.
If life is a lesson - who grades the test?

[Verse 1]
Born to a clock with invisible hands,
Crawled into questions I couldn’t withstand.
Page after page said “here’s how to live,”
but a book don’t bleed when you’ve nothing to give.
Between a quote and a breath there’s a cliff edge,
Between a plan and a step there’s a thin ledge.
I knew all the sayings, framed on a wall,
yet fear made a kingdom out of a hallway small.
I watched the years like trains I never boarded,
Counting the wins that nobody recorded.
What do we achieve if the soul stays numb?
A mountain of medals with a heart gone dumb?
Mama said, “listen, not everything’s loud,”
Some victories whisper, some grief makes you proud.
So I held my pulse like a lantern at night,
and saw that existing ain’t the same as light.

[Pre-Hook]
I’ve been memorizing sunrise, never stepping in it,
Tracing halos with my finger - never letting it begin and

[Hook]
Round and round, the wheel keeps turning,
Born, we bloom, then ash and yearning.
What is life if not this lesson:
not just know it - learn to bless it.
Breathe it in, don’t just define it,
Walk the fire, don’t outline it.
Between knowing life and living - 
feel the gap, then leap inside it.

[Verse 2]
I met my reflection like a stranger in glass,
We both looked tired from avoiding the ask.
What does it mean to be here and awake?
To love without fences, to give for its sake.
I stacked up goals like bricks without doors,
Chasing applause from invisible floors.
But the quiet spoke: “risk is the fee,”
Pay it in presence - redeem your ID.
I heard a child laugh - future in the sound,
I heard a last breath - circles come around.
We’re chapters and cycles, storms and reprieves,
A garden that withers so new life can breathe.
If time is a teacher, then homework is now,
Ink it with courage, sign it with vow.
I can’t take trophies to the other side,
But I can take moments where I truly tried.

[Bridge]
(Spoken, over heartbeat)
Knowing is a map. Living is the road.
Maps fold. Roads unfold. Choose the unfold.

[Hook]
Round and round, the wheel keeps turning,
Born, we bloom, then ash and yearning.
What is life if not this lesson:
not just know it- learn to bless it.
Breathe it in, don’t just define it,
Walk the fire, don’t outline it.
Between knowing life and living -
feel the gap, then leap inside it.

[Outro]
Tick… tock… lungs draw light from the night.
I’m not just here - I’m alive on purpose.
