I remember reading an interview with their drummer that he failed recording this song like 20 times (he was doing all the songs in one take) so he literally went outside and did donuts in the parking lot to clear his head and then got it right when he came back. You can literally hear the frustration in his playing through this entire song. Just those 4 cymbal hits at the beginning just scream "FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK"
I love the angry tone Gerard uses when singing this song. It feels so intense, but when he says "so I can't hurt you anymore!" for the second time the anger in his voice turns to pure rage followed by the genuinely scary sounding "and now, you wanna see how far down I can sink, let me go" Then goes straight into a more peaceful yet still angry tone with the next part before absolutely exploding in rage and anger for the final chorus. Fucking phenomenal.
Dakota V About music I guess. They probably saw someone wearing an mcr shirt or something and looked them up, and didn’t like it. I mean, I really don’t know, but I guess that’s what they meant by that.
Lyrics GO! To un-explain the unforgivable, Drain all the blood and give the kids a show By streetlight this dark night, A séance down below There're things that I have done, You never should ever know And without you is how I disappear, And live my life alone forever now And without you is how I disappear, And live my life alone forever now Who walks among the famous living dead, Drowns all the boys and girls inside your bed And if you could talk to me, Tell me if it's so, That all the good girls go to heaven Well, heaven knows That without you is how I disappear, And live my life alone forever now And without you is how I disappear, And live my life alone forever now Can you hear me cry out to you? Words I thought I'd choke on figure out I'm really not so with you anymore I'm just a ghost, So I can't hurt you anymore, So I can't hurt you anymore And now, you wanna see how far down I can sink? Let me go, fuck So, you can, well now so, you can I'm so far away from you Well now so, you can And without you is how I disappear, And without you is how I disappear, Whoa whoa (and without you is how I disappear) Whoa whoa (and without you, is how, is how, is how) Forever, forever now
"I'm just a ghost, so I can't hurt you anymore" I love that lyric. I don't really know how to explain but I'm going to try. I'm terrified of hurting people, it's one of my biggest fears. I know in the past I've said bad things (without realising at the time) to people who I'd been friends with for years. I don't talk to them anymore because we're all at different schools, but I still think about it a lot. I always get scared that I'll do something like that again, and that makes me want to not be alive so it doesn't happen. That lyric comforts me, I guess. Sorry for the rant I just needed to put it into writing
2:30 this single breakdown was the gateway drug that finally got me into actual metal. Now that I'm into much heavier stuff than MCR, looking back this is still so damn good.
@@renecruz3623 are you looking for a similar style of hard rock or heavy metal w/ screaming, growling, etc? My personal journey went from MCR's Three Cheers, Black Parade, and Bullets albums straight into the likes of Slipknot, System of a Down, Mudvayne, Polaris, and some others (Tallah is amazing but shit they are heavy and disgusting, maybe dont start with them lmao). But each of these bands are very different in their own unique ways, that's what is so amazing about exploring new bands and genres. If you're looking for stuff that isn't so intense, honestly there isn't much that I've gotten into that is all too similar to that breakdown. Pierce the Veil would probably be the closest I can think of, but I'd guess you're probably familiar with them already. Ice Nine Kills could be a good place to start, the singer's style reminds me a lot of Fall out Boy, but they can get fairly heavy too with a good mix of hard rock and straight metal. They are definitely a different style than MCR, but you might like them. I'd check them out and Slipknot just because Slipknot is so damn good lol.
No cap those quick strums Frank does in the background really show his NYHC and punk influence and the leads on this album show ray toros classic rock influence. Mikey way sounds like he’s playing 80s ABBA bass, bob Bryars drumming shows off a bit of punk and classic rock. Whereas Gerards vocals sound like they have a little Emo-core/early emo influence, mixed with 70s rock like David Bowie. It’s a weird mix of influences. But I love it so much!!!!

Im the only one I know (besides my sister who i dislike) who likes MCR so I will cry alone. I'll go to school on monday depressed and I'll be overlooked. I'll turn on my computer and blast this real loud.
Today I found thus group walkinh around school with a poster saying "MCR Welcome to the Black Parade 10 year anniversary" there were girls with straight hair smeared eyeliner and I joined them and we sang MCR around school....IT WAS BEAUTIFUL
People think I'm weird because I listen to Metal, this one kid asked me if I was going to shoot up the school because I was listening to Slipknot : Psychosocial.
you know what? i'm gonna give you a piece of advice that i needed to hear when i was going through the same thing... get over it! you wanna know why people tend ignore your anguish? because people don't give a shit about anyone but themselves! that's a fact of life. My Chemical Romance is not gonna help you. it's not an outlet for your depression, it just perpetuates your depression. it's the self loathing circle jerk... damn, that needs to be on a tshirt.
MCR: the band so good, even Gen X loves them. Seriously, MCR lobbed some powerful ear grenades at the public, stuff that better described how we felt than the hair bands of the 80's ever could. The rage, the angst, the disappointment, everything was right there on display like some surreal store window for a place that bought broken promises and pain. Cathartic is too small of a word to describe MCR's music to those of us in need of the release. This band was the massive neon sign for generations to point at and say, "That's how I feel!"
I started listening this amazing band when I was 13-14, I'm 22 now and I stopped to listen to them daily when I was about 17-18. Tonight, I overheard a song of them and now I can't stop listening all their songs. What's better is that now I understand completely the lyrics because English isn't my first language so when I was a teen my level was way lower. I can mix what I felt at the moment with what they make me feel now and is just some kind of magic ♥️♥️
My current favourite song on The Black Parade (yes, even more so than *that* one), and a 10/10. There's so much to love here, between the frenetic, ominous riffs, the angry drumming, the venomously self-loathing lyricism, and I especially love the absolutely unhinged boss-music vibes of the metal breakdown at about 2:45 and how the chorus has almost a surf-rock catchiness to it thanks to the instrumentation.
I always kinda liked MCR but i would have never heard this song if not for a random conversation with a random girl on a random discord on an uneventful tuesday. what a fukin great song
@@yesisai9379 mcr is pop music lol Edit: just wanted to say that doesn't make them bad, but you can't be an obscure underground indie band and have your least played song in an album have 18 million+ plays on spotify
@Nathaniel Phillips OK, I know this is a late reply, but I think you're confusing pop music with popular music. Pop used to just be a shortening of popular in reference to music, but nowadays, it's a defined genre. Not all pop music is popular, and not all popular music is pop. MCR were never a pop band, but they were, and still are, a popular band.
Listen, I am not even into MCR but this song? It is great. I love how the music sounds, the lyrics of this WHOLE album make a story, it is just a masterpiece. One of my favorite songs made by MCR.
I had this crazy dream when I first got this album and listened to this song like a 10000times. About Aliens taking all of humans through mind control but a group of loyal dogs go on a quest to free their humans. I remember most distinctly was at 2:45, they climb over a big hill and see a massive field where aliens are taking humans on their ship, but horrified at the weapons the aliens had, hundreds and thousands of dogs charge the aliens at 2:57 and get absolutely decimated by explosions, guns, but they make it through and win and aliens retreat leaving the humans behind. Everytime I hear this song I wish it was the video clip. Haha I had to share that.
From all the music I've listened to I've never come across a band with so many bangers. It's the reason songs like this have a few million views. There's just too many fucking awesome songs
gila sih emang nih band, gw awal kenal MCR di tahun 2014 dan itu dikenalkan ama temen gw bahwa band ini lagu2nya enak, dan lagu yang pertama gw dengerin itu dari album Black Parade yang berjudul Mama. setelah itu lanjut ke helena, Welcome to the Black parade. dll
