Good Day Noir Family,
Eloise Marson’s reimagining of Linkin Park’s “Numb” takes a bold step in a different direction, turning the iconic rock track into a stunning piece of emotional depth.
Numb is Eloise Marson’s Single Out Now
The song opens with a soft piano that creates an intimate tone before a saxophone enters, taking on the role of the original vocal melody.
This unexpected pairing of instruments transforms the track into something entirely new, yet strangely familiar.
What strikes me immediately is the quality of the arrangement. In the recording, you can hear the distinct sound of sax keys being pressed, adding an almost tangible layer of vulnerability to the song. It’s as if each note is more personal, more alive, with every keystroke breathing life into the composition.
Marson’s sax work stands out as the true highlight of the track. Her ability to translate emotion into every note she plays is remarkable—each phrase feels like it could be an entire song unto itself, full of longing and tenderness. It’s clear that Eloise is pouring her soul into the performance, a quality that gives the arrangement an ethereal quality that’s comforting and haunting.
While the original “Numb” had its own emotional pull, Eloise’s version feels like it uncovers a different layer of the song’s essence. It’s as though the melancholic energy of Chester Bennington’s original lyrics is now shared through her interpretation, conveyed with a softness and delicacy that would be hard to match in a rock format.
It’s a transformation that elevates the song, giving it a timeless quality that taps into the emotional core of the listener in a new way.
In this rendition, Eloise Marson proves herself not just a talented saxophonist but an artist who can breathe new life into familiar songs, making them resonate on an entirely different level.
