early sunsets over monroeville // my chemical romance - lyrics 

Fun fact: During the recording of this song the band had to go out for a "smoke break" while gerard was singing cause they couldn't stand the raw emotion in his voice

Does anyone notice how he sounds like he's trying to stay strong through the situation, but near the end it sounds like he's given up

I can’t believe some MCR fans aren’t even aware of this underrated album’s existence..

Fun fact: my town has a Monroe Street, and when there’s an early sunset, it’s the most prettiest thing ever. It kinda looks like the picture in this video

At the end when Gerard’s voice gets weaker (because of his toothache) actually really affects me the song just makes it sound like he is pain and not just from the toothache he sounds like his mind is in pain and that he is not in a good state of mind and whenever I hear the ending I just feel so bad for him

the isolated vocals at the end will always give me the chills. this entire song is perfection

Fact: This is what Rickly said about Gerard in recording studio: 'Afterwards, everybody just left and went outside to smoke cigarettes because they couldn't deal with looking at him after sung that. He had just ripped himself open in front of everybody l. He'd taken so far that it was uncomfortable for anyone who was friends with him. They hadn't seen him as Gerard the singer, they still saw him as their buddy Gerard. It's a little scary to see someone do what he did." It was in the recording of "Early Sunsets over Monroeville".

"not knowing you'd change from just one bite, i fought them all to hold you close and tight" THIS LINE. IM CRYINGG

bullets are underrated AF

I love the black parade so much but bullets has always been so much more meaningful and personal to me, I really wish it had more recognition

Will forever be my favourite song from Bullets and one of my favourite mcr songs overall. The entire album is seriously underrated

I'll either lip sync or actually sing to this with so much passion I end up crying.

"And there's no room in this hell, there's no room in the next" I love that line

Gerard's voice is my reason to live some days, man!

when Gerard was making this, he had a really bad toothache, and that's why his voice throughout the song gets weaker and weaker. after they were done recording, he passed out and the band had to take him to the hospital, just to find out he had a toothache.

Dafuq I live like 15 minutes away from Monroeville This is so weirdly personal How do I handle this

Someone just got into bullets

Monroeville is a place that is known for its early sunsets. In winter sun sets around 4 but in summer it sets as early as 7 or 8. Sunrises happen around 6 or 7 but in summer it happens as late as 5:30

"Running away and hiding with you" "You can run away with me anytime you want" "Run away like it was yesterday" Need I say more?

How many evil souls do i have to kill to hear the studio acapella of this song? Nothing but Gerard's emotion and passion

The guitars in this sound like they could go on forever...

2:12 my tears start coming out around this part.. his voice really hurts 💔

this song is weirdly calming... i like it

this is my favorite song of MCR. Like everytime I listen this tears are falling down.But does anyone notice .No...

This is like nostalgia as a song and I find it so beautiful and touching.

there's a corpse in this bed is the best part

"And in saying you love me, made things harder at best" 😥 She looked up at me, in cold sweats, the beads falling down her pale and fragile face. I looked away and grimaced, the look on her face sparking the emotion that I had to suppress to get this done. I pressed the cold metal to her forehead. "I love you" she whispered, her voice delicate. I put my shaky finger on the trigger.

This song is so Heartbreaking! Especially these lines: "Late dawns and early sunsets Just like my favorite scenes Then holding hands and life was perfect Just like up on the screen And the whole time while always giving Counting your face among the living Up and down escalators Pennies and colder fountains Elevators and half price sales Trapped in by all these mountains Running away and hiding with you I never thought they'd get me here Not knowing you'd change from just one bite I fought them all off just to hold you close and tight But does anyone notice? But does anyone care? And if I had the guts To put this to your head But would anything matter If you're already dead? And should I be shocked now By the last thing you said? Before I pull this trigger Your eyes vacant and stained But does anyone notice? But does anyone care? And if I had the guts To put this to your head And would anything matter If you're already dead? And now should I be shocked By the last thing you said? Before I pull this trigger Your eyes vacant and stained And in saying you loved me Made things harder at best And these words changing nothing But your body remains And there's no room in this hell There's no room in the next And our memories defeat us And I'll end this direst But does anyone notice? But does anyone care? And if I had the guts To put this to your head But does anything matter If you're already dead? And should I be shocked now By the last thing you said Before I pull this trigger Your eyes vacant and stained And in saying you love me Made things harder at best And these words changing nothing As your body remains And there's no room in this hell There's no room in the next But does anyone notice There's a corpse in this bed"

This song was named after the town I live in/grew up in, and we do really have some of the most amazing sunsets.. with the prettiest pinks and oranges and purples and blues.. Also, Dawn of the Dead was filmed in our local mall, which is part of why MCR did this song as a tribute to the the man who made the film, George A Romero.. this album was based somewhat off said movie

TOWARDS THE END I HEARD "YOUR ASS BACON IS STAINED" shoot me

Ugh the opening line is love

When you look up the lyrics only to find that this is a sad love song and not intense screaming one.😭😢 Edit: Oh shit never mind it got dark and deep

this song will forever be one of my favorites

There isn't an emoji that shows a heart exploding of an emotion between hysterics and pure happiness so I'm just going to go with this comment🖤 keep up the beautiful

This album is the closest thing to being legitimate emo that MCR have ever done. Like, if you've listened to some classic emo bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Cap'n Jazz, Rites Of Spring, and Jawbreaker, you can clearly hear the influences sprinkled all over this album. I believe that this song in particular was inspired by Cap'n Jazz but that's merely a speculation.

Who knew a toothache could make a song so emotional lol

This song is so *calm?* like WHY it’s about murdering someone but it makes me want to go fall asleep with a smile on my face the melody is just so beautiful!

The only reason why I am still living is because of gerard.

this song is just perfection, and the line "but does anyone notice but does anyone care" makes my tear up a little

Who could disliked this song 😭😭🖤

who else plays this song on repeat when they need to cry really hard?

One of their best tracks. Ever. In a car with a good audio system the track really comes alive from Mikey's playing.

i feel like this song and the entire album itself is so under rated like this is my favorite song and everyones like "I've never heard of that song" and "that album is old and not that good" im like really man wow

"I fought them all off just to hold you close and tight"

i live half an hour away from Monroeville and everytime i pass through i sing this song

another one of my favorites from bullets :0

Richard, when I hear this song I’ll always think about the years we shared.

I love the last line “but does anyone notice there’s a corpse in this bed”

Can’t believe how old this song is. It’s so sad how with bands like mcr breaking up newer generations get ruined with trash music. It’s truly terrible. I’m literally sitting in my bed rn crying my eyes out over this.

Thank you for this. This used to be my favorite song from bullets. Bullets is my favorite album ever and that will never change.

I get so emotional over this song and it is so personal to me.

That one dislike is matt. I bet you

This song honestly is one of the most thought provoking and emotional pieces of art I've ever had the honor of listening to.

I love this song! The first time I listened to bullets I thought it was way too aggressive and I didn't like the rough sound, but now that's what I love about this record. It's seriously just so good.

*screeches* mEH HEART IT HURTS Thank you for this blessing 🖤🖤🖤🖤

I live 10 Minutes away from Monroevill

This song has such a unique atmosphere that I've never heard in another song (except maybe demolition lovers). makes me think of deserts and late sunsets (of course lol). It's beautiful and sad at the same time... Unfortunately I dont think I'll ever hear something like this again but that's ok :)

it's good to know lyrics after the years :D

You wanna know what this song reminds me of? My younger life. Back when i used to live in southern California with all the deserts and mountains. The sunsets there were probably the most beautiful things I've seen. Thinking about the sunsets, mountains, and deserts there bring back nostalgia. The song also gives off sort of a nostalgic vibe. I don't know how to describe it, the sounds just make me feel like I'm back at home. It feels like I'm back in my Aunts room again, watching the sun set behind the mountains. This specific MCR song will always be important to me. The memories and feelings it gives always makes me nostalgic. Sad, yet calm and happy.

Had to come back to this album especially after hearing the foundations of decay

It is incredible how you can hear Gerard's voice break, it is between crying and pain with melody.

I love how they structured this song. So simple but they make the length of each stanza gradually longer making it more beautiful.

as someone who doesn't listen to mcr much, i really love the soft parts of their songs. i like the harder parts, and i appreciate them and that that's such a big part of their music, but the soft parts of their songs are really incredible

IM CRYING HOW DARE YOU

This is one of my favorite songs by them I so sad it doesn't have as much representation

THIS IS MY FAV SONG FROM BULLETS I AM CRYINFFGD

*a tear slowly rolls down her cheek, and she whispers "so good" at the end of the song*

wow compared to everything else its like he recorded this on a potato, i like it, it sounds more raw, ya know?

super underrated lyricist

my favourite from bullets aaaaH

I’ve listened to this album on my teens years but didn’t really care for it. But now I’m 29 and this album is deep af and made me love them more than I ever did in my naive years as a teenager

This song makes me so sad, every time I even think about just the guitar, I get a sinking feeling

This is my favorite song of mcr, means so much for me, thanx

I think this is my favorite song from their first album. I just love how it starts out so tranquil and pretty but ends up so desperate and intense. It kind of reminds me of Let it Die by the Foo Fighters, which goes through the same sort of progression. I think the emotion is even more powerful when you don't just start there but you build up to it throughout. (Nothing against their other songs, of course. There's something great in all of them.)

I can’t handle how raw his voice is it gets me every time. Bullets is so underrated

I LITERALLY JUST SUBSCRIBED LIKE AN HOUR AGO, AND I'M GLAD I DID, THIS SONG IS MY FAVOURITE *screeches into the void*

this song makes my goosebumps😩

don't let the tiktokers see this, they're gonna make so many POVs with it

Over the years I always end up coming back to this song.

My heart feels feels the emotion and pain of his heart I hope that make sense

When he says “before I pull the trigger” is the point where I start to cry

I'm so in love with this song. Brings me so many memories. Sometimes I used to listen to it during the winter time, the early winter sunsets in my town are beautiful. Just stare outside while the light fades and play it so loud as to drown out everything else. I even wrote a story story about this song for my English class a few years ago. Even got it published. Memories.

Gosh. This song still really does something to me.

I ' M L I V I N G BLESS YOUR SOUL

i love to put this song on and contemplate my whole entire existence

The raw emotion in this song is just...

this is the first song i heard by mcr, and will always be very meaningful to me on so many levels. it’s such a bittersweet song.

hey danny. i miss you. i miss you so much. there hasn't been a day where i haven't thought of you. i wish you were here. i wish we could've been closer. i wish we could've gone to the mcr tour together. mcr was your favorite band. i wish i could've stayed up until 4 talking with you about anything and everything. i wish you hadn't pulled the trigger. i wish you hadn't gone. daniel, i love you.

I used to overlook this song a lot when I was younger. I always used to skip this song whenever I listened to Bullets. In the past few years I learned to really appreciate the beauty of this song. It's now one of my favorites on Bullets.

this song stands out on the album. i know mcr for their amazing lyrics, but the emotion is portrayed by the vocals in this one.

This song is pure beauty

*Bullets is underatted af*

Sitting in my room alone tears streaming down my face going through memories I have never had my heart hurts with emotion but it's okay

I don't know if this is just a me thing, but does anyone else pick a really sad song and a sad topic and just cry for a few hours just cause it feels nice? I've been playing this song and then I imagine singing it to my older sister once she dies. That thought broke me, even if we fight and act like we hate eachother. I would still feel the worst pain if i ever saw her eyes closed, just knowing that they would never open again. The thought of never seeing her dumb smirk again really hurts. And because I'm the youngest in my family i know that I'm going to watch them all die. I hate it.

the raw emotion in this songgggggggg

I'm obsessed with the concept of someone having a friend who died years ago but still can see/hear their appearance from time to time because of this song. If it's a movie, this song is perfect for when the protagonist is like, fighting to accept that their friend is dead and it's no good for them to cling on their projection forever. They would argue on a hill, in front of a pink sunset like this...

There is so much raw emotion, I'm going to cry

his voice really gets me at the end

This is my favorite My Chemical Romance song. I love them all but I feel this one in my soul the most

The first half of this song makes me nostalgic for a childhood I never had
