Puddles Pity Party - Helena (My Chemical Romance Cover LIVE from Emo Nite LA) 

Goodness! You guys are the most. Thanks for watching and listening. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

When you think about it, Sad Clowns are the original emos.

“This song can’t get anymore emo then it is” Puddles: hold my suitcase

Unbelievable talent. His voice just blows me away. The tone, control, pitch, everything.

Very rarely does a cover really hit the feels the same as the original and I love this version every bit as much as the original

we are hitting emo levels thats not possible

You need to do a cover of The Black Parade! In this style, it would be beautiful as hell!

I can't even handle how good this guy's voice is. Wow.

This song was originally about losing his grandmother. My grandmother is currently fighting lung cancer…I needed to hear this. Thank you

Gerard is like the greiving grandson of Helena, whereas this dude is the heartbroken grandpa.

To this day, this is my favorite cover EVER. The pain and loss he conveys in his tone and facial expressions is so dark and haunting. Such an amazing talent. I'll come back to this as long as I'm able to.

The unofficial acoustic version of Helena that we didn't know we needed but ended up getting. I love it

It's amazing how a different version of a song with all the different inflections on the lyrics brings out various lines and helps the listener to better understand the meaning of the song. Like reading a book and then hearing someone else read it aloud.

When you put on that heavy crown, did you realize that you would become the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned? The non-believers might have gotten their licks in, but as long as you're here to lead us, the Puddles Platoon will carry on!

Puddles voice is pure liquid gold.. the emotional feeling in his songs are really second to none

This was my best friends favorite band and song, she died in 2005 in a car accident. Perfecty haunting in the sweetest way, I can still hear here singing in my old truck we drove around in but it sits broken down and full of memories. Thanks Puddles. 💜

I love how when Gee sings it, it sounds kind of angry and forceful and when Puddles sings it, it's more calm and sad It's really cool that just changing the voice and the instruments can make a song sound so different

i am a 40 year old man who lost his wife in child birth to our only daughter who thankfully lived. It will be six years in January. the worst part of grief is the numbness you feel so you can go on functioning but you miss having emotions. I cannot express enough the release and poignancy to me personally when the bridge hits. being able to cry occasionally after going through what i’ve gone through is better than sex. better than getting drunk. better than getting angry. in fact i haven’t watched this song and not cried at that part. So puddles and your buddy Mike: thanks for letting me sleep tonight. i needed it

you did a very important, sad, sweet, song justice. This song and MCR was and continues to be a HUGE impact on my life. Thank you for treating it with the reverence it deserves. You highlighted the grieving and sad soul of the song without making it corny. Made me cry, actually. I think Elena and Gerard would approve. RIP Elena

Wtf did I just watch.... As a cover snob and probably the biggest MCR fan in my area.... This was absolutely beautiful.... I'm literally speechless... How do you make something sound so like the original but also absolutely your own at the same time???? 🤯🤯🤯🤯

The song is actually about the death of the Way brothers' grandmother Elena and their grief surrounding her loss. The name was changed to Helena in reference to the character from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, a play that heavily features sleep as a theme. Among other things, the play compares sleep to death and respite from the world.

when mcr's version is not emo enough

His voice is absolutely beautiful...the melancholy and pathos with the power and tonality. Gorgeous cover 🖤

I love this guy so much

Oh my God you have touched my soul today Puddles. Thank you. *Did you know I'm very scared of clowns? But not you. You are kind and sweet.*

I usually don't like when people cover MCR...but Puddles....dear Puddles you are awesome

If you read this comment Puddles, I just want to say that I can't go back to the original tune because of this cover but I really love and appreciate this cover. Been watching this for thousands of times ever since this has been uploaded 🔥

Clowns are such beautiful conduits of emotion. So pure and clean.

he just use 10% voice but the rest 90% he sing with heart so talented

I've decided that this rendition by puddles will be playing at my funeral. I dont care if it's years or decades from now. This will forever be my favorite cover of this amazing song. Thank you, Puddles, for this beautiful cover.

Still watching in 2022! coolest cover ever!

I can't even express how much I connect to this guy.

When you picked MCR and the Pixies for Emo Nite LA, did you have *any* idea how much we were going to love you for doing them the way that you do? Only you can take something already so melancholy, amplify it, and create something so haunting and beautiful at the same time. ❤️

Got over my fear of clowns thanks Puddles

Brings me to tears every time I listen to this cover simply incredible vocals

There has been a void in my heart for so many years... Tears are flowing, feelings are being realized, what is happening here?

homie in the front row holding the phone was having a sadgasm singing along with Puddles

My husband is 1/2 deaf and sometimes reads lips. He spotted a silent “I Love You” near the end....so sweet! For you and whomever ‘twas intended, please know that we love you too. ❤️

is it okay to cry? 😭

What a voice, you are are carrying all of us in your arms. Our sadness and our pain is expressed through your voice and it goes so deep, the emotions are images that reflect your soul.

His pronounce is very exact..

Damn Puddles...damn...

Your voice is so amazing and this rendition has me in tears. Please never stop singing.

The melancholic feeling of my dusty old heart

Puddles you've done it again... transformed a song in a lovely and beautiful way.

Such an enchanting voice, The tonal transition between "whats the worst I could say" and the following "things are better if I stay" sends shivers down my spine. Mr Puddles Sir, you are absolutely gorgeous and wonderful, I've listened to this so many times now.

Gerard wrote some of the most radical lyrics. Love that dude.

Pitch Perfect Puddles just wonderful to hear

Emo clown. Strange combination, but I'm into it.

Ima tell my kids this was the joker 2019 movie

how can i miss this cover for 4 years

i love the eccentric timing of your singing yet it fits the tempo so perfectly! i am amazed of how you can keep that up because that is one hell of a skill to get!

I don't love you by My Chemical Romance will make me cry for hours and will be awesomely beautiful

My mother passed away, twenty years ago, this month. I still ask, "Can you hear me? Are you near me?" Tonight, I'm wrapping myself in this song and your voice, before going to sleep.

Holy sh*t what a beautiful voice.

Simply fabulous!

This is beautiful and I love how it's so different from the original.

Sing "the ghost of you" please by MCR

Outstanding; the sheer emotion in this song is gut wrenching. Out of all the versions of this song, I think yours truly shows the pain the songwriters wished to convey they made the song.

I still listen to this at least once a week, it's a master rework of an awesome song. Love your work Puddles!!!

Takes me back. Dude doesn’t even know how many people he made cry out of happiness for this.

He's just so good. He makes you recognize just how well written certain songs really are. What a great brand and act he has created.

Your rendition of this song brought me to tears. Your intention and careful plucking of the lyrics were so beautiful. Like the strings on a forgotten guitar.

I've been listening to this song since August 2020 when I first discovered you. It's one of my favorites of all your songs. I watched the videos from the club that night where you sang this and "Where is My Mind". It was a packed house, right up to the stage. What I loved was all the young people there giving you their undivided attention and adoration. They were hanging on to every word you sang and singing along, because, of course, they knew all the words. Your older audiences are more reserved, but these guys weren't hesitant to show you their love and appreciation throughout your performance. I was so pleased you got to experience that.

This song couldnt be more emo Puddles: hold my briefcase

2:16 *boy in crowd* WE UNDERSTAND

Long ago Just like the Hearse you die to get in again We are so far from you Burning on Just like the match you strike to incinerate The lives of everyone you know And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like the blade you'll stain Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Came a time When every star fall Brought you to tears again We are the very hurt you sold And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like the blade you'll stain Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Well, if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Can you hear me? Are you near me? Can we pretend to leave and then We'll meet again When both our cars collide What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight

someone did a really good job of lighting one of my favorite places

Long ago Just like the hearse, you die to get in again We are so far from you Burning on just like a match you'll strike to incinerate The lives of everyone you know And what's the worse you take (worst you take) From every heart you break (heart you break) And like the blade you stain (blade you stain) Well, I've been holding on tonight What's the worst thing I can say Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Came a time When every star fall brought you to tears again We are the very hurt you sold And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like the blade you stain Well, I've been holding on tonight What's the worst thing I can say Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Can you hear me Are you near me Can we pretend To leave and then We'll meet again When both our cars collide What's the worst thing that I can say Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight

It chapter 2 trailer is looking pretty good

This is a brilliant cover and I love seeing the whole audience sing along too.

I can count on one hand the musical artists with a voice that has brought me to tears. PuddlesPP is one of them.

My great grandmother was named Helena. She died a few years ago from cancer and was one of the greatest supports I had. I can't thank you enough for this beautiful cover, Puddles.

As fantastic as your voice is on its own or with just your guitar, having full instrumentation to accompany you like in this video really takes your performance to another level. I'd love to hear you backed by a full orchestra some time! Thanks for all the fantastic music!

I have loved this song for years and sing along with it every time. Tis one of my all time favorites! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

MCR: Emotional grief teen Pitty party: calm sad grandpa This is my dad favorite song 😊

I'm still listening to this beause it's so damn good.

Sad my Brother left to fly back to England, now this. Big ole Sadgasm.

Even if this video was 2 years ago,I still love it..The best cover I've heard so far

Still your best performance ever. I love this song. Love your voice singing it.

I wish Gerard and the rest of MCR would hear this

I feel sorry for the 47 people who have clownphobia and disliked this video, because this is pure art and perfection.

Please never stop making these sound waves of pure gold

What a brilliant arrangement. Absolutely perfect.

MCR and puddles are just a perfect pairing especially when you need a good cry

Still upset Puddles didn't go farther in AGT.

Ok but now mcr is back they need to do a live version together

My goodness you are outstanding!!!! So glad I was introduced to your music! 💕

I don't know what I was expecting when I clicked on this... but I'm really glad I did.

Beautiful. My #3 daughter had a hard time with depression and self harming in high school, and she listened to a lot of MCR. I listened with her and she came out of the darkest times. We still deal with depression, and Puddles helps us cope.

He has such candid and sad eyes, but so beautiful

This was my mom’s favorite song before she passed away and listening it now in your version brings me to tears because it’s so beautiful. I wish she could’ve heard it. Thank you.

I remember seeing puddles on America's Got Talent after that I instantly became a fan I love the way he did this song both beautiful and awesome

My chemical romance is my favorite band and I usually don't like covers of there songs but this is a really nice twist

That was beautiful one of your best performances for sure

elegant, vintage and folk. its very original and so authentic. what a show. its expensive show.

Never thought a clown could pull off this beautiful rendition

I can't stop watching this, your voice is so powerful and you deserve so much more than you get. THIS is real talent. I'm from Brazil and I get really sad 'cause, you see, I have no idea when I will be able to see you in person. But it's ok, listening to you REALLY makes my days better. Thank you, you're incredible.

Incredible, hearttaken voice! It's between Freddy Mercury and Elton John. The best of it both.

I love this so much! You are truely amazing! Thank you 😊😍
