Dear My Chemical Romance, I know your not going to at all see this comment buried by other more famous comments... But thank you for the years you were active. The world needs you the most right now. But you're happy with your families. Thank you for being a band we could go to even in the most fucked up times. Your music has prevented only so many deaths... Who knew a group of 4 normal people could save lives. We will never be silenced Because we are the MCRmy We are the killjoys. And killjoys always make noise. -Hope and love Another Killjoy
Or "Cuz you only live forever in the lights you make" - The Kids From Yesterday "Even lights can fade away" - Fake Your Death. Either was is heartbreaking :'(
No he didn't he was at a convention and someones mum came up to him and said she tried to kill herself and is in hospital, Gerard immediately went to her and stayed by her side and wrote this song for her.
So long to all of my friends Everyone of them met tragic ends With every passing day I'd be lying if I didn't say That I miss them all tonight And if they only knew what I would say If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep Never let them take the light behind your eyes One day I'll lose this fight As we fade in the dark Just remember you will always burn as bright Be strong and hold my hand Time becomes for us, you'll understand We'll say goodbye today And we're sorry how it ends this way If you promise not to cry Then I'll tell you just what I would say If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep Never let them take the light behind your eyes I'll fail and lose this fight Never fade in the dark Just remember you will always burn as bright The light behind your eyes The light behind your Sometimes we must grow stronger and You can't be stronger in the dark When I'm here, no longer You must be stronger and If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep Never let them take the light behind your eyes I failed and lost this fight Never fade in the dark Just remember you will always burn as bright The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes
It's funny how everyone is commenting about how much this song makes them cry or how they want MCR back, cause for me it's the exact opposite. Whenever I hear this, I stop crying. I hate people saying "everything's okay" when everybody knows it's not. This is like someone saying "it's not okay now, but it will be. Someday you'll wake up and all this will be just a memory" And sure I would love to have MCR back, but I fine with them being a memory. When I think of MCR I remember a great time, a great band and an even greater idea. I think of all the songs they made, not the ones they'll never do. I remember the good times I had, not the ones I'll never have. Memories are the most valuable thing you have. They stop time for a while. They keep alive the ones you loved and lost. Never let anyone take this from you!
I grew up in a chaotic abusive family, my chemical romance helped me get through that. I’m 23 now. To this day Gerard’s voice soothes my pain, calms me down, helps me get stronger when I need it. Thank you my chemical romance. You helped so many broken, beaten and damned people.
Anyone else get this feeling where you just wanna cry but you can't, and you feel sort of hopeful and yet so hopeless, and you know you are longing for something but you don't know what but u still get a calm happiness when u listen to this song? Or is it just me
My ex sent me this 4 years ago before she broke up with me and took her life. I’ve avoided this song for so long for it’s haunting beauty. But today as I listen to it I feel a new type of closure.
Danger Days was hard to love. 'Destroya' was my 'gateway drug' and I loved the album in the end, but masterpiece it wasn't. However, it doesn't need to be. The band had bills to pay and we had feels to feel. It worked.
I was listening to this song crying and wiping away my tears, and then I saw my fingers and they were black because of the eyeliner and I've never felt so emo.
I'm laying in my room, crying my eyes out, wishing I was dead. I'm pretending that I don't hear the screams from my family and its just Gerard singing to me.
Matthew Barbour stay strong killjoy friend. the MCRmy is here for you. you dont have to be alone. youve gotten through 100% percent of your bad days. promise me you’ll never let them take the light behind your eyes. i love you! ❤️
I hope your here to read this now. Even as the light fades. Some will always see it. Know that you are never alone even though our minds can make us feel that way. Eventually things change. If you ever need to talk find me online. Same name
I don't have mental health problems. I'm not emo or punk. I've never cried while listening to an MCR song. I just find their music really relaxing. You don't have to be depressed or emo to appreciate good music! :)
Today MCR is the most underrated band by far. In 2006 was they really were famous. Besides that blow up they aren't really heard of. This album is also the most underrated as well. I can't believe they didn't release it until later. I have lost faith in almost all of today's music. Who's with me?
Yea it’s pretty sad how time goes on and things that were big in the past get pushed aside for other things but the good thing is you can always listen to their music anytime you want.
There isn’t a single day I don’t think about my friend. My friend of 15 years passed away before turning 21. It ripped one of the biggest pieces of my life away. When someone that important leaves your life you MUST grieve and this song helps me grieve his loss. I will curse myself in the future if I didn’t shed enough tears for my beloved friend. You have to let it all out. To let yourself know you’ll never know someone like you knew him. Rest in peace my friend, I love you. I’ll never not cry after you.
To everyone reading this. You’ve made it this far, and look what we have now. You got to see MCR come back. You to get hear them play songs like this live for the first time. You might even get to see them release new music (God Willing.) You get to see them touch a new generation of fans like the same way they did with you. They’re still changing people’s lives with their music, and you get to be there. So stick around. I genuinely believe that the best is yet to come.
Lines That Hit Too Close To Home: "I would sing you to sleep" I used to sing my younger brother to sleep before my life fell apart "One day I'll lose this fight." I never thought I'd live past 12. "If you promise not to cry." I told everyone who is suicidal that it's okay to cry, yet they should not. I would get angry when they cry, thinking about killing themselves. If they even think about harming themselves, I will get angry at them. "I'd be lying if I didn't say that I miss them all tonight." I miss my old memories. My old life. My old will to live. Anyone who is down and reading this, Remember that you are not alone. You will be found. You are loved, even by me. I would sail across the ocean for you, because you are important.
+Waifu Doogal Honestly I find this one to be more heart wrenching than disenchanted. This one just seems so much more intense with the melodic guitar in the beginning leading to the dramatic build up.
All the time. I have a playlist on my iPad called "songs that make you cry". If I had this song it would be with Disenchanted and Early Sunsets Over Monroeville
*vent I guess* This is the first time someone has told me too keep going. Even if they know I don't exist, it still means so much too me. Everyone just tells me too suck it up. Ive struggled with self harm and no one does anything. Ive only got two people in my life who know about my self harm and one of them like to rub her hand up and down my thighs, saying that she likes how the scars feel. This is the only song that actually makes me breakdown. It means so much for Gerard to tell you to keep on going.
I'm just a person on the internet who doesn't know you but I'm also going to tell you to keep going. I don't know what you're going through but I know that you're strong and capable and can get through anything, and you're not alone. Please don't hurt yourself, and know that everything will be alright in the end if you just hold on.
idealistic platypus holy shit habdydhdjdjdsjsj i forgot i wrote this. thank you for saying this dude, im in a slightly better mental place then i was when i had wrote that. i havent grown out of their music and still love mcr which says a lot lmao
I’m so sorry, I really hope that things get better soon. Everything will be ok and just try your best to be strong. Strength looks different to everyone and you just existing is pure strength. Things will get better and I’m sending healing energy your way
I love how open everyone is in the comment section. I wanna open up mine too and hopefully it will encourage someone to keep moving on. 2018: My life was really miserable even before this year came up but everything just went downhill from there. I stopped going to school due to depression, it was getting worse each year. I was so ashamed of myself, I felt like my existence didn’t matter and I’m only a burden to everyone. I had no friends, It’s hard for me to reach out to someone and seek help. I felt like i couldn’t be cured. I was too broken. I’m smiling and laughing from the outside but I’m slowly dying inside. Life was tough and i was weak. I even cry myself to sleep every night wishing I was good enough. I just wanted everything to stop, the pain, sorrow, emptiness. My body was full of cuts. I remember one time, writing negative things about me everywhere on my body. And so one day i decided to stop living. It was just me and my uncle in the house,m that time, the rest was at work. I went out to buy medicines (a lot of them) because i thought about overdosing. I assembled all the pills and laid down. I was crying. I remember how hard it was to breathe. It was so quiet and i didn’t want to be suspicious, so i connected my phone to the speaker and chose my mcr playlist. I remember saying to myself “Just one last song” and closed my eyes. I wanted to at least die listening to what i love. Then this song came on. I was shaking, my hands were shaking as well. I listened until the song is over, I looked at my hands and i immediately threw the pills away. And for the next few hours i was crying and kept replaying this song. MCR made me feel like i wasn’t alone. Every time I’m feeling down i listen to your songs. It helps me cope with reality. And now it’s already 2020 and I’m still here listening to you guys, I couldn’t thank you enough for saving my life. I will always keep on moving forward, no matter how hard the struggles are in life. MCR will always have a big space in my heart.
I'm so happy you're alive today. I hope i can beat my demons too. And for any time you feel like that remember that you matter. And I'm so glad and proud of you for throwing away those pills
I think part of what makes people cry when they listen to this song is because it’s so powerful. You can hear the emotions even in the instruments. Everything about this song holds so much power and emotion and it’s beautiful
I listen to this whenever I feel lonely. This song feels like someone is directly talking to us, telling us they'll always be here with us. Gerard sings with so much emotion! Also "The World is Ugly".
So long to all my friends Everyone of them met tragic ends With every passing day I’d be lying if I didn’t say That I miss them all tonight And if they only knew what I would say If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep Never let them take the light behind your eyes One day I’ll lose this fight As we fade in the dark Just remember you will always burn as bright Be strong and hold my hand Time-it comes for us, you’ll understand We’ll say goodbye today And I'm sorry how it ends this way If you promise not to cry Then I’ll tell you just what I would say If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep Never let them take the light behind your eyes I’ll fail and lose this fight Never fade in the dark Just remember you will always burn as bright The light behind your eyes The light behind your Sometimes we must grow stronger and You can be stronger when I'm gone When I’m here, no longer You must be stronger and If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep Never let them take the light behind your eyes I failed and lost this fight Never fade in the dark Just remember you will always burn as bright The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes The light behind your eyes
My cousin died in a workplace accident on a construction site recently. He was the same age as me. I'm 22. I was just speaking to his mother about songs she is picking for his funeral. It got me to think about songs I would want if I died without warning. I remembered this song. I practically decided ever since it came out that the song was destined for my funeral.
I think about my dad when I listen to this. He passed away to cancer in 2015 when I was 14. I just remembered our long car drives. I'd roll him a joint and just talk about stuff. My dad always wanted to here about whatever was on my mind no matter how dumb he thought it was. I miss him so much
well if the person cries every time he listens to the song then it most likely causes him pain. so I ask you why would you want to cry? and you know not move on and stop listening to a song that causes sadness
tears tears gallons of this stuff give them all that they could drink and it will never be enough so give them tears tearssss tearsssss grab a glass because there's going to be a flood
So I know that the members of my chemical romance will never see this but I need to say this. I thought I lost my battle and I was willing to give up. I wanted to make it all stop. The only thing that prevented me from doing such was this band. You saved me. This song helped me realize my life was worth it. I got help and continued living. I then gained the most amazing gift. My son. He was the best thing that happened to me. After losing him i almost lost my fight again. Once again this band was their for me and made me realize I need to stay strong. So thank you for everything. From making me smile to saving my life. - a killjoy who continues to live.
This shows how strong of a person you are and you should be very proud of it. Keep staying strong and know that life has always something worth living for :>
I think of my loving girlfriend when I listened to this song. She gave my life meaning just by living. I don't need a nice looking car, a full wardrobe, a 60k job or even a house for her to stay with me. And that is what she told me since we are in a LDR for right now. But only time will tell if she is right. But if it were to happen, I'd hit the soulmate jackpot. Maria, you are the best thing that happened to me during this shitty time of COVID. I love you and hope we meet soon.
I'm Syrian MCR was my favourite band 6 years ago..before the war before anything happened there I remember listening to their songs back home and now they have a completely different meaning
this. this is one of the most meaningful (at least to me) mcr songs out there, it never fails to make me cry my tiny heart out. it's been three years without mcr as of today, never let then take the light behind your eyes killjoys
I know this is old, but I just discovered it even tho I did listen to MCR back in the day. As a father of a one year old daughter, trying to stay away from cocaine, this hits really different. Thank you.
I just remember one night not long ago, driving home from town and I was sitting in the back seat. it was dark. and I cant remember what but my dad had said something that made me feel like such a worthless, emty, and stupid thing. not even human, like i was just a discarded peice of trash. I listened to this song and the world is ugly the whole way home, just crying my fucking eyes out. this song still means so much to me and mcr has helped me find some strength to keep going. I'm forever grateful. and although I'm struggling a lot and I feel like nobody cares, i know that this music will always be here
anybody else hear this and just think about - friends who aren't your friend anymore - every fictional character death that's ever made you cry - your closest friends
"when im here no longer, you must be stronger" i dont know why but this line just breaks my heart so much. gerard is as old as my dad but he left us for no reason, he doesn't even care that im too sick and almost dying. i see gerard as someone so fucking hot but at the same time, i imagine him as my dad with this song. i imagine him singing this to me since my dad was the one who introduced me to rock songs. i just love gerard and i just imagine that he's like my dad, i will never see again lol
Take care 🖤. I'm sorry your dad left you & your family. Sounds as if a lot of us are here together: lying in the dark, letting this song wash over us; feeling that somehow someone out there gets" us. They are singing to us, & would do ANYTHING. Gad the sheer desperation in his voice.
Guys I'm crying so hard right now why did they have to break they were so beautiful together but Gerard said their is still gas in the My Chemical Romance Tank please please come back to us you were so perfect *sobs*

I did not remember that i wrote this comment three years back 🤣😂 Anyway i still Listen and play this song my accoustic guitar. Its a simple chord progression but its beautiful
This probably will be a long text, but let's go. Today is 1/24/20. I started listening to the back parade album back in may '19. I really got into MCR on 1/13/20. 11 days. So. In these days, I heard nothing but MCR. I never felt so in touch with a band before. Everything they did was so well structured, make me feel close to them. The first time I heard this song, it hit me powerfully. From the second time, I couldn't listen to this without crying. Every time. The way (no pun intended) this man sings is so full of emotion. So deep. He sinks into his soul to do it. So soulful. As a singer wannabe, I always try to put the most emotion I can into my singing, so whenever I listen to this, it hits me like a bus. I had never cried because of a song until then. Now this one, acapella of welcome to the black parade, desert song, interlude, romance, early sunsets over Monroeville and sing for Japan hit me in the feels. Sometimes I become so hopeless, not feeling enough, feeling like I can't grow on music and the despair comes. But listening to this song -dude, how can they make such a connection with us? I feel like I know them since always. Once I got into the fanbase, I felt really welcomed. And the more I read about them, more I wanted to know. Watched a lot of concerts, and even through shitty resolution of the videos, even if they were recorded more than ten years ago, I could feel it. This is the purest form of art I can think about. (insert gerard moaning here) I promised myself never to sing this song. This is way too pure. (again, no pun intended.) Through all these youtube comments, I read a lot of people saying the much MCR helped them to get through everything. Anytime I remember their story, I start acting strange (in a good way with no pun intended), because it's too beautiful. The way (-_-) the fans are connected to each other, and MCR with us, everything is too magic. And one thing must be said: it all, in each and everything I said, I can feel LOVE flowing through it all. Through them. Through us. Through all the places. Through the years. Through everything. LOVE is what kept us all alive. LOVE is what brought them back. LOVE is all I feel whenever I listen to MCR. If I, who started listening to them 11 days ago, feel like this, I imagine how the older fans feel about it all. MCR is now one of the most important bands of all time, because of all this LOVE. If I ever got to be at an MCR concert, I definitely would cry my guts out, the energy might be so strong. One day I will be there, they give me hope. They fill me with LOVE. If you read until here, well... Congrats, I guess~ ^w^
This song used to make me feel sad (in a good way) but the sadness I felt years ago doesn't hold a torch to the feeling I get now. It brings me back to a simpler time with less responsibilities, less stress, less bs in the world but I'm sad because no matter how hard I think back or how hard I want to go back, I can't.
"So long to all my friends. Every one of them met tragic ends." One of my favorite lines. Puts me in a certain mood, and sets the tone perfectly for this song.
This album officially released 3 weeks before someone I cared deeply about was stolen from the world and for me this song expresses so accurately how I felt and still feel, not a year goes by where my heart doesn't break but this song is helping to keep me going as best I can. I miss you Jade, I should have tried harder to be a better and closer friend to you when we were kids.
My poem dedicated to mcr: The light behind your eyes, Oh how we miss you guys, Your memory will carry on, Killjoys never die Now don't you lie, I am not afraid to keep on living But I'm afraid to say bye (That was really lame I know, and yes I did take lyrics from some of their songs okay.)
Recently a girl from the MCR-Army died (commited suicide), I never met her, never talked to her, we were just friends on Facebook but never interacted, actually I didn't feel sad or bad or something special when I heard she was gone, just the normal like "wow, that's unexpected, hope her family is okay" But then I come to UA-cam, put on some music and this song comes out and I couldn't help but think of her... feels like the right song Hope she's better now, wherever she is.
Jane The Killer The first time I heard it I was just feeling really sad and I had a horrible day so I started playing music to cheer me up...then this song came on...and I could not stop crying.
Ok thery time... In this song I believe when Gee says "So long to all my friends, every one of them met tragic ends..." He's talking about all his fans that have committed suicide (which really is tragic and prayers for their family and friends) but he's talking about all of us and when he says "And I'll tell you just what I would say if I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep never let them take the light behind you eyes..." Gee is saying he wants to be with us and comfort us ("sing you to sleep") and he wants to make sure we don't give in to the thoughts of suicide or be unhappy ("never let them take the light behind your eyes") So he's (in a nutshell) saying he wants to be with us in our times of great need and stop us from thinking about/committing suicide... That's my theroy.... Stay alive, don't let them take the light behind your eyes and please, please don't end your beautiful life, you have so much to live for... Don't stop now❤ Stay alive for Gee and the rest of the band... For MCR... For the good times to come... Please stay alive❤❤❤❤
if it weren't for this song, or mainly this band on general, I wouldn't be typing this right now. My Chemical Romance has gotten me through so much.. they've convinced me to never self harm, to never think of doing anything to myself. without them, I probably would've done these things. I'm glad I found them as a band. they've made me happy, now its time for us to make them happy. I miss MCR, they've saved me. only thing is I wouldn't want them back if it meant they wouldn't be happy. If they came back, it'd be amazing, since I've never seen this band live. and if they don't, I'll he heartbroken. but this is life. life means growing up. it means that we move on from things we grew up with. like Gerard has stated, MCR is in all of us. they always have, and always will. thank you so fucking Much for helping me MCR. without you, I'd be gone. thank you for the venom :')
autumn murrie the same applies to me - this describes the band perfectly, glad you got through all that stuff! i completely agree with the stuff about them getting back together, they’ve given us music and hope and every other feeling so we should be grateful, and if they don’t want to get back together, we need to accept that
He won the fight. He faught so hard & in return when we found his light behind his eyes, we were losing ours. Until we heard this song and so many more. Thank you MCR. Gerard... for choosing life because I have finally chosen mine. @ 30... thank you for convincing me to take my light back @ 13... and repeatedly after. Now I live for my life. Instead of living life.
This song (as well as other songs from their records) has helped me get through one of the worst moments in my life. My step dad passed away 10/8/13 and when I felt like no one was there for me, I would listen to this song and cry a lot. It would help me relax and know that without my step dad, I would not have gotten into rock music (or appreciating what it can mean to different people) or be alive today. He also took me to my first My Chem show in Chicago @ the Chicago Theater. Thanks dad :).
Isauro Valdez I feel u my dad passed when i was six. My mom and dad divorced when i was 3 and he moved to seattle and got into alcohol. He ended it by commiting suicide
Everybody tells me I'm obsessed with mcr and I need to let it go but listening to them is like nothing I've felt before it's a happiness that I cant explain to you they saved me and I've found myself again. Thank you for everything
I know no ones probably going to see this but I feel amazing, like I haven't felt this good since I was 11--12. like I feel like for the first time in a long time I'm actually living life and not just surviving yk because I was severely depressed and I just didn't want to live anymore and now it's just feels so goddamn amazing I want to cry and I can't even describe how I'm feeling. I just wanna give all of you in the comments the biggest fucking hug I have ever given. music is truly medicine for the soul and it has saved me more time than I can count, and probably millions of others. and I just want to say that to anyone anyone who is reading this and your having a hard time with life, It does get better I promise. it may take a while. it may take weeks, months, hell maybe years but it will get better. shit I'm living proof of it and I got through it. I know it's hard, I know it's so hard but you can do this no matter how hard it gets and how much you want to give up. and if you want to cry, fucking cry, get it out. don't keep it in. don't give up, there's so much life you have inside of you and I don't want you to throw it away for anything. don't forget you are amazing and no one can take that away from you. just be you and never give up. I love you all and I wish the best for all of you from the bottom of my heart, truly. MCR forever \m/
Thank you 💐. I hope someone who needs to hear this, sees your post. I agree -- I was "just existing" for a while but waited it out and things did get so much better.
To all the people in the comments who say they're sobbing because of how emotional the song is to them, just remember the boys don't want to see you like this. They want to see you move on a grow stronger. This song is very emotional if you are a true fan who cared about the band and stayed alive because of them. Just know that they have gone separate ways to start new eras and make others as happy as they made us.
My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die. Because it is not a band - it is an idea - Gerard Way Its in my heart too and the hearts of many others... But as he also said, my chemical romance has served its purpose, and i believe it has
When I was a freshman in high school I dated this girl who I fell in love with. She cheated on me and got pregnant by another guy. This was the song I turned on and listened to repeatedly.. It's so beautiful and tragic like my circumstances at the time. Even years later after that event, I turn this song on every now and then to remember the past and to realize how far I've come along since then

Hi fellow phan

Bethany Geoghegan Yeah, and help her gather all of their things.
Dear My Chemical Romance,
I know your not going to at all see this comment buried by other more famous comments...
But thank you for the years you were active.
The world needs you the most right now.
But you're happy with your families.
Thank you for being a band we could go to even in the most fucked up times.
Your music has prevented only so many deaths...
Who knew a group of 4 normal people could save lives.
We will never be silenced
Because we are the MCRmy
We are the killjoys.
And killjoys always make noise.
-Hope and love

it's like a Gerard say you directly, not cry it's imposible
"Never let them take the light behind your eyes"
- (this song)
"But even lights can fade away"
- fake your death
Or "Cuz you only live forever in the lights you make" - The Kids From Yesterday
"Even lights can fade away" - Fake Your Death. Either was is heartbreaking :'(
Sarah Bancroft "Leave the lights on when you stay" -I don't love you
Why do they like lights so much!?!?!
Sarah Beasley isnt that from fake your death
Justine J. Yeah.
Justine J. There's so many lights I get confused. XP
To anyone who doesn’t know, gerard wrote this for bandit in case he relapsed. I don’t think any of us could ever understand his love for his daughter
❤️🥺
No he didn't he was at a convention and someones mum came up to him and said she tried to kill herself and is in hospital, Gerard immediately went to her and stayed by her side and wrote this song for her.
i love this
That perspective makes it even more heartbreaking
@@denofgames5336 I think there can be multiple inspirations for one song!
Gee: "If you promise not to cry"
Me: *starts intensly crying*
Don't cry Craft
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how beautiful this song is
Omg right it's one of my favorite MCR songs ever
Mine too. And one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my entire life.
Fucking yes
this song is my aesthetic
Fuck yessss
"Promise me you won't cry" can't make any promises, Gerard
Promise not to promise anymore
soooooo true
+TomorrowEve Gerard is a great poet.
(I promise)
yall it actually says "if you promise not to cry"
So long to all of my friends
Everyone of them met tragic ends
With every passing day
I'd be lying if I didn't say
That I miss them all tonight
And if they only knew what I would say
If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
One day I'll lose this fight
As we fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright
Be strong and hold my hand
Time becomes for us, you'll understand
We'll say goodbye today
And we're sorry how it ends this way
If you promise not to cry
Then I'll tell you just what I would say
If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
I'll fail and lose this fight
Never fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your
Sometimes we must grow stronger and
You can't be stronger in the dark
When I'm here, no longer
You must be stronger and
If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
I failed and lost this fight
Never fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
Thx. Future middle school talent show right here.

@@eros4917 how hard did they laugh at you?
It's funny how everyone is commenting about how much this song makes them cry or how they want MCR back,
cause for me it's the exact opposite.
Whenever I hear this, I stop crying.
I hate people saying "everything's okay" when everybody knows it's not.
This is like someone saying "it's not okay now, but it will be. Someday you'll wake up and all this will be just a memory"
And sure I would love to have MCR back, but I fine with them being a memory.
When I think of MCR I remember a great time, a great band and an even greater idea.
I think of all the songs they made, not the ones they'll never do.
I remember the good times I had, not the ones I'll never have.
Memories are the most valuable thing you have.
They stop time for a while.
They keep alive the ones you loved and lost.
Never let anyone take this from you!
You my friend are the only sane person in this damn comment section
See thank you
Even though I start crying every time thankyou
Well there back now
This comment made me cry because I felt every single word you said
This is why I will never stop going back to Linkin Park. Even if every single time it hurts a fuck ton to do it.
I've discovered MCR all too late
I know that feel bro :'(

I grew up in a chaotic abusive family, my chemical romance helped me get through that. I’m 23 now. To this day Gerard’s voice soothes my pain, calms me down, helps me get stronger when I need it. Thank you my chemical romance. You helped so many broken, beaten and damned people.
Anyone else get this feeling where you just wanna cry but you can't, and you feel sort of hopeful and yet so hopeless, and you know you are longing for something but you don't know what but u still get a calm happiness when u listen to this song? Or is it just me
I know exactly what you’re talking about
oh my gosh yes
I absolutely agree with you.
I think everyone does
I get ya (and no I'm not just being an 'edgy teen')
anybody else getting a feeling they can't explain and it can't leave
Every day of my life bro
Ye boi
yeah as soon as i get the feeling i start crying. this song. i love it to much.
***** honestly same, ill be listening to their music then this song comes up and i immediately start crying
Kate is not in Australia yes
My ex sent me this 4 years ago before she broke up with me and took her life. I’ve avoided this song for so long for it’s haunting beauty. But today as I listen to it I feel a new type of closure.
I'm sorry to hear that, but glad u have closure.
So so sad.She loved you xx
And she wanted you to be ok xx
If you're willing to take the extra mile, you should let her be last one. this is a hard request, so maybe not.
all their songs are masterpieces but this one? this one hits home. this one is my favorite and will forever be.
Same 🥺 and been a fan of them since 2009..
Danger Days was hard to love. 'Destroya' was my 'gateway drug' and I loved the album in the end, but masterpiece it wasn't. However, it doesn't need to be. The band had bills to pay and we had feels to feel. It worked.
@@ricksmith8934 sorry but... bulletproof heart ? SING ? The only hope for me is you ? summertime ? they are masterpeices

ME TOO. THIS, CANCER,DISENCHANTED AND SING GET ME EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.
Same. And Disenchanted.
I love Cancer too much to cry. I actually sing it all the time. I really like it
+Lucia Gerding YOU FEEL IT TOO? MY CHEST START HURTING LIKE HOW CAN THEY DO THIS TO ME
Right now. As I type this. My chest is LITERALLY burning.
i lose it every time when he says "i'll fail and lose this fight", and then says "i failed and lost this fight."
I don't have mental health problems. I'm not emo or punk. I've never cried while listening to an MCR song. I just find their music really relaxing.
You don't have to be depressed or emo to appreciate good music! :)
Your speaking straight facts
100% agree, absolutely beautiful song
This is one of the few MCR songs that actually causes me pain...
FallOutParamoreAtTheDisco 387 It causes me pain too... Like, my wrists all of a sudden start hurting... Dunno why...
...?
Lol I keep seeing you everywhere. Dan and Phil, bands lol. Rock on! God bless
Alitzel Ortega heheh >:3
FallOutParamoreAtTheDisco 387 soo true.. i realy feel the pain
this is the most underrated mcr song
By far
Make Room is really underrated too.
the whole convetional weapons album is!!!
Um Sleep???
I am an idiot, but I agree
Today MCR is the most underrated band by far. In 2006 was they really were famous. Besides that blow up they aren't really heard of. This album is also the most underrated as well. I can't believe they didn't release it until later. I have lost faith in almost all of today's music. Who's with me?
Pcschulte me i hate the shit they got on the radio now
Yea it’s pretty sad how time goes on and things that were big in the past get pushed aside for other things but the good thing is you can always listen to their music anytime you want.

There isn’t a single day I don’t think about my friend. My friend of 15 years passed away before turning 21. It ripped one of the biggest pieces of my life away. When someone that important leaves your life you MUST grieve and this song helps me grieve his loss. I will curse myself in the future if I didn’t shed enough tears for my beloved friend. You have to let it all out. To let yourself know you’ll never know someone like you knew him. Rest in peace my friend, I love you. I’ll never not cry after you.

This is the only MCR song that makes me actually sob my heart out.
Cancer?
+hikari kakashi Demolition lovers is sadder in my opinion. Idk, just my opinion.
I have like a love/hate relationship with this song for that reason where I listen to it and cry I don't like crying 😔😔
+hikari kakashi Agreed. I honestly cry more from this than Cancer, Demolition lovers, or Disenchanted. It just is so intense that it gets me.
Cancer???!??
To everyone reading this.
You’ve made it this far, and look what we have now. You got to see MCR come back. You to get hear them play songs like this live for the first time. You might even get to see them release new music (God Willing.)
You get to see them touch a new generation of fans like the same way they did with you. They’re still changing people’s lives with their music, and you get to be there.
So stick around. I genuinely believe that the best is yet to come.
This really just touched me as I'm going through a rough patch in life and just recently got to see them for the first time
this helped allot I'm currently underage and homeless for months
Lines That Hit Too Close To Home:
"I would sing you to sleep"
I used to sing my younger brother to sleep before my life fell apart
"One day I'll lose this fight."
I never thought I'd live past 12.
"If you promise not to cry."
I told everyone who is suicidal that it's okay to cry, yet they should not. I would get angry when they cry, thinking about killing themselves. If they even think about harming themselves, I will get angry at them.
"I'd be lying if I didn't say that I miss them all tonight."
I miss my old memories. My old life. My old will to live.
Anyone who is down and reading this, Remember that you are not alone. You will be found. You are loved, even by me. I would sail across the ocean for you, because you are important.
You're right.
you made me cry
You are important too. Keep going friend.
I needed this
Thank you
This is probably they're most heart-wrenchingly beautiful song they put out
Imster cancer is also pretty tear triggering but thisss
ok no that i agree omg
+Today's Activities and demolition lovers
+Waifu Doogal Honestly I find this one to be more heart wrenching than disenchanted. This one just seems so much more intense with the melodic guitar in the beginning leading to the dramatic build up.
Does anyone else listen to MCR for fun and then the sad songs come along and make you want to cry?
All the time. I have a playlist on my iPad called "songs that make you cry". If I had this song it would be with Disenchanted and Early Sunsets Over Monroeville
yeah
Everytime
NONONO NOT CRY, *CRAFT!*
*vent I guess*
This is the first time someone has told me too keep going. Even if they know I don't exist, it still means so much too me. Everyone just tells me too suck it up. Ive struggled with self harm and no one does anything. Ive only got two people in my life who know about my self harm and one of them like to rub her hand up and down my thighs, saying that she likes how the scars feel. This is the only song that actually makes me breakdown. It means so much for Gerard to tell you to keep on going.
I'm just a person on the internet who doesn't know you but I'm also going to tell you to keep going. I don't know what you're going through but I know that you're strong and capable and can get through anything, and you're not alone. Please don't hurt yourself, and know that everything will be alright in the end if you just hold on.
I hope you're doing better now, and if you're not, there's a website called TreverSpace that helped me when I was in a bad place.
idealistic platypus holy shit habdydhdjdjdsjsj i forgot i wrote this. thank you for saying this dude, im in a slightly better mental place then i was when i had wrote that. i havent grown out of their music and still love mcr which says a lot lmao
I’m so sorry, I really hope that things get better soon. Everything will be ok and just try your best to be strong. Strength looks different to everyone and you just existing is pure strength. Things will get better and I’m sending healing energy your way
I love how open everyone is in the comment section. I wanna open up mine too and hopefully it will encourage someone to keep moving on.
2018: My life was really miserable even before this year came up but everything just went downhill from there. I stopped going to school due to depression, it was getting worse each year. I was so ashamed of myself, I felt like my existence didn’t matter and I’m only a burden to everyone. I had no friends, It’s hard for me to reach out to someone and seek help. I felt like i couldn’t be cured. I was too broken. I’m smiling and laughing from the outside but I’m slowly dying inside. Life was tough and i was weak. I even cry myself to sleep every night wishing I was good enough. I just wanted everything to stop, the pain, sorrow, emptiness. My body was full of cuts. I remember one time, writing negative things about me everywhere on my body.
And so one day i decided to stop living. It was just me and my uncle in the house,m that time, the rest was at work. I went out to buy medicines (a lot of them) because i thought about overdosing. I assembled all the pills and laid down. I was crying. I remember how hard it was to breathe.
It was so quiet and i didn’t want to be suspicious, so i connected my phone to the speaker and chose my mcr playlist. I remember saying to myself “Just one last song” and closed my eyes. I wanted to at least die listening to what i love.
Then this song came on. I was shaking, my hands were shaking as well. I listened until the song is over, I looked at my hands and i immediately threw the pills away. And for the next few hours i was crying and kept replaying this song.
MCR made me feel like i wasn’t alone. Every time I’m feeling down i listen to your songs. It helps me cope with reality. And now it’s already 2020 and I’m still here listening to you guys, I couldn’t thank you enough for saving my life. I will always keep on moving forward, no matter how hard the struggles are in life. MCR will always have a big space in my heart.
I'm so happy you're alive today. I hope i can beat my demons too. And for any time you feel like that remember that you matter. And I'm so glad and proud of you for throwing away those pills
I'm proud of you that you're still here ♡
reading this again and im crying
Goodjob xin
Praying that you can keep your light from now on
i feel like this is something alot of people need to hear

*IM TOO PUNK ROCK FOR THIS*
This song cured my depression and immediately gave it back
this is an underrated comment
LOL nooo😭💀😂
it really went, i'll take this off your hands.
_for now_
I think part of what makes people cry when they listen to this song is because it’s so powerful. You can hear the emotions even in the instruments. Everything about this song holds so much power and emotion and it’s beautiful
I listen to this whenever I feel lonely. This song feels like someone is directly talking to us, telling us they'll always be here with us. Gerard sings with so much emotion! Also "The World is Ugly".
I CAN'T LISTEN TO THIS SONG WITHOUT CRYING. IT'S DANGEROUS.
Forget crafting, I'm actually crying.
That was beautiful
Me too oh my gosh
That was the most 2016 thing I've ever heard.
Abby Inman 😂😭😭
I see you literally everywhere.
So long to all my friends
Everyone of them met tragic ends
With every passing day
I’d be lying if I didn’t say
That I miss them all tonight
And if they only knew what I would say
If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
One day I’ll lose this fight
As we fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright
Be strong and hold my hand
Time-it comes for us, you’ll understand
We’ll say goodbye today
And I'm sorry how it ends this way
If you promise not to cry
Then I’ll tell you just what I would say
If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
I’ll fail and lose this fight
Never fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your
Sometimes we must grow stronger and
You can be stronger when I'm gone
When I’m here, no longer
You must be stronger and
If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
I failed and lost this fight
Never fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes

My cousin died in a workplace accident on a construction site recently. He was the same age as me.
I'm 22.
I was just speaking to his mother about songs she is picking for his funeral.
It got me to think about songs I would want if I died without warning. I remembered this song. I practically decided ever since it came out that the song was destined for my funeral.
I'm so sorry about your cousin. Much love.
@@purechaos1091 Thank you. Much appreciated.
I’m a year late but still wanna send my sympathy and condolences..He’s still quite young to die..So sorry to hear it 🙁😢
I think about my dad when I listen to this. He passed away to cancer in 2015 when I was 14. I just remembered our long car drives. I'd roll him a joint and just talk about stuff. My dad always wanted to here about whatever was on my mind no matter how dumb he thought it was. I miss him so much
Oh yes, this and "The World Is Ugly" always get me so emotional. Have to be couple of the best MCR songs. These songs deserve more recognition tbh.
album 3 is by far the best on C.W.

My girlfriend used to sing me this song before she died.....I cry every time I hear it.
keep your head up
Then why are you watching this?
probably for that small bit of remembrance
well if the person cries every time he listens to the song then it most likely causes him pain. so I ask you why would you want to cry? and you know not move on and stop listening to a song that causes sadness
you can still want to remember someone while still moving on.

gallons of this stuff
give them all that they could drink
and it will never be enough
so give them tears

Me too.
Honest
So I know that the members of my chemical romance will never see this but I need to say this.
I thought I lost my battle and I was willing to give up. I wanted to make it all stop. The only thing that prevented me from doing such was this band. You saved me. This song helped me realize my life was worth it. I got help and continued living. I then gained the most amazing gift. My son. He was the best thing that happened to me. After losing him i almost lost my fight again. Once again this band was their for me and made me realize I need to stay strong. So thank you for everything. From making me smile to saving my life. - a killjoy who continues to live.
This shows how strong of a person you are and you should be very proud of it. Keep staying strong and know that life has always something worth living for :>
I think of my loving girlfriend when I listened to this song. She gave my life meaning just by living. I don't need a nice looking car, a full wardrobe, a 60k job or even a house for her to stay with me. And that is what she told me since we are in a LDR for right now. But only time will tell if she is right. But if it were to happen, I'd hit the soulmate jackpot. Maria, you are the best thing that happened to me during this shitty time of COVID. I love you and hope we meet soon.
This song, it just pulls at your heart just like the "The Ghost of You" video
and every other mcr song in existence

I know this is old, but I just discovered it even tho I did listen to MCR back in the day. As a father of a one year old daughter, trying to stay away from cocaine, this hits really different. Thank you.
I just remember one night not long ago, driving home from town and I was sitting in the back seat. it was dark. and I cant remember what but my dad had said something that made me feel like such a worthless, emty, and stupid thing. not even human, like i was just a discarded peice of trash. I listened to this song and the world is ugly the whole way home, just crying my fucking eyes out. this song still means so much to me and mcr has helped me find some strength to keep going. I'm forever grateful. and although I'm struggling a lot and I feel like nobody cares, i know that this music will always be here
❤️ !! Take care.
@@maryhenningsen4163 no you take care

Maybe that makes us toxic too 😂
They aren't toxic, they are just chemical
This is truly beautiful in the most depressing way humanly possible
"when im here no longer, you must be stronger"
i dont know why but this line just breaks my heart so much. gerard is as old as my dad but he left us for no reason, he doesn't even care that im too sick and almost dying. i see gerard as someone so fucking hot but at the same time, i imagine him as my dad with this song. i imagine him singing this to me since my dad was the one who introduced me to rock songs. i just love gerard and i just imagine that he's like my dad, i will never see again lol
Take care 🖤. I'm sorry your dad left you & your family. Sounds as if a lot of us are here together: lying in the dark, letting this song wash over us; feeling that somehow someone out there gets" us. They are singing to us, & would do ANYTHING. Gad the sheer desperation in his voice.
Guys I'm crying so hard right now why did they have to break they were so beautiful together but Gerard said their is still gas in the My Chemical Romance Tank please please come back to us you were so perfect *sobs*
Just why are so many MCR fans given to incoherent and mentally hilarious displays of melodrama like this ? They sucked,by the way (haha) .

*SOBBING*
Years later this song still breaks my heart!!! I feel like it's the break up song to the fans
I think Gerard knew Danger Days would be their last album and tour

+Kaia Grabar same
+frankiesmemes ME? crying oh no no Gerard I promise I wont cry *sniffs*

Or is it the light behind your eyes
*fills a river with my tears, hops on a raft, sails down it*
i would sing you to sleep
never let them take the light behind your eyes
lol
To the black parade
This probably will be a long text, but let's go.
Today is 1/24/20. I started listening to the back parade album back in may '19. I really got into MCR on 1/13/20. 11 days. So. In these days, I heard nothing but MCR. I never felt so in touch with a band before. Everything they did was so well structured, make me feel close to them. The first time I heard this song, it hit me powerfully. From the second time, I couldn't listen to this without crying. Every time. The way (no pun intended) this man sings is so full of emotion. So deep. He sinks into his soul to do it. So soulful.
As a singer wannabe, I always try to put the most emotion I can into my singing, so whenever I listen to this, it hits me like a bus. I had never cried because of a song until then. Now this one, acapella of welcome to the black parade, desert song, interlude, romance, early sunsets over Monroeville and sing for Japan hit me in the feels.
Sometimes I become so hopeless, not feeling enough, feeling like I can't grow on music and the despair comes. But listening to this song -dude, how can they make such a connection with us? I feel like I know them since always.
Once I got into the fanbase, I felt really welcomed. And the more I read about them, more I wanted to know. Watched a lot of concerts, and even through shitty resolution of the videos, even if they were recorded more than ten years ago, I could feel it. This is the purest form of art I can think about.
(insert gerard moaning here)
I promised myself never to sing this song. This is way too pure. (again, no pun intended.)
Through all these youtube comments, I read a lot of people saying the much MCR helped them to get through everything. Anytime I remember their story, I start acting strange (in a good way with no pun intended), because it's too beautiful. The way (-_-) the fans are connected to each other, and MCR with us, everything is too magic.
And one thing must be said: it all, in each and everything I said, I can feel LOVE flowing through it all. Through them. Through us. Through all the places. Through the years. Through everything. LOVE is what kept us all alive. LOVE is what brought them back. LOVE is all I feel whenever I listen to MCR.
If I, who started listening to them 11 days ago, feel like this, I imagine how the older fans feel about it all.
MCR is now one of the most important bands of all time, because of all this LOVE.
If I ever got to be at an MCR concert, I definitely would cry my guts out, the energy might be so strong. One day I will be there, they give me hope. They fill me with LOVE.
If you read until here, well... Congrats, I guess~
^w^
wow that's awesome! ❤️
Its been 3 years
This song used to make me feel sad (in a good way) but the sadness I felt years ago doesn't hold a torch to the feeling I get now. It brings me back to a simpler time with less responsibilities, less stress, less bs in the world but I'm sad because no matter how hard I think back or how hard I want to go back, I can't.
If they don't play this song at my funeral I'm not dying.
Same!!
I just decided this will be part of my funeral Playlist when i die
Good luck with that 😅
What I love about this song most is the emotion he captures when singing it.
"So long to all my friends. Every one of them met tragic ends."
One of my favorite lines. Puts me in a certain mood, and sets the tone perfectly for this song.
This album officially released 3 weeks before someone I cared deeply about was stolen from the world and for me this song expresses so accurately how I felt and still feel, not a year goes by where my heart doesn't break but this song is helping to keep me going as best I can.
I miss you Jade, I should have tried harder to be a better and closer friend to you when we were kids.
My poem dedicated to mcr:
The light behind your eyes,
Oh how we miss you guys,
Your memory will carry on,
Killjoys never die
Now don't you lie,
I am not afraid to keep on living
But I'm afraid to say bye
(That was really lame I know, and yes I did take lyrics from some of their songs okay.)
Roses are red,
Violets are gay,
MCR broke up,
and Im not okay.
^^^thank you because mine is terrible xD yours is touching though :, )
GERARD IS A FUCKING LIAR. HE SAID THE BAND WAS FOREVER AT A SHOW. LIES GERARD. I'll be okay though. I will live on...
smelltheroses not freaking lame *screenshots*
"" lame"" " UM EXCUSE YOU THIS IS TOUCHING AF
NEVER LET THEM TAKE THE LIGHT BEHIND YOUR EYES
Recently a girl from the MCR-Army died (commited suicide), I never met her, never talked to her, we were just friends on Facebook but never interacted, actually I didn't feel sad or bad or something special when I heard she was gone, just the normal like "wow, that's unexpected, hope her family is okay"
But then I come to UA-cam, put on some music and this song comes out and I couldn't help but think of her... feels like the right song
Hope she's better now, wherever she is.
I’ll pray for her.
May she Rest In Peace she will always be in our prayers and hearts
THE WAY GERARD SAYS TONIGHT
help im sobbing
*crying so hard right now*
Jane The Killer The first time I heard it I was just feeling really sad and I had a horrible day so I started playing music to cheer me up...then this song came on...and I could not stop crying.
Jane The Killer me too
+Elena Lavigne dil tho - the phandom is every
Ruby Rose crafting so hard
I'll never see my chemical romance live because am a late fan
Same child, same
Same
same, it hurts
same here
Same
Ok thery time...
In this song I believe when Gee says "So long to all my friends, every one of them met tragic ends..." He's talking about all his fans that have committed suicide (which really is tragic and prayers for their family and friends) but he's talking about all of us and when he says "And I'll tell you just what I would say if I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep never let them take the light behind you eyes..." Gee is saying he wants to be with us and comfort us ("sing you to sleep") and he wants to make sure we don't give in to the thoughts of suicide or be unhappy ("never let them take the light behind your eyes") So he's (in a nutshell) saying he wants to be with us in our times of great need and stop us from thinking about/committing suicide... That's my theroy.... Stay alive, don't let them take the light behind your eyes and please, please don't end your beautiful life, you have so much to live for... Don't stop now❤ Stay alive for Gee and the rest of the band... For MCR... For the good times to come... Please stay alive❤❤❤❤
THANKS FOR FUCKIN MAKING ME CRY AT 1: 37 AM!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Frerard Rydan phan, sorry man...
*I know I'm 2 years late but my breakdown just got worse and now I really wanna meet Gerard*
5 years later I'm still crying listen this
if it weren't for this song, or mainly this band on general, I wouldn't be typing this right now. My Chemical Romance has gotten me through so much.. they've convinced me to never self harm, to never think of doing anything to myself. without them, I probably would've done these things. I'm glad I found them as a band. they've made me happy, now its time for us to make them happy. I miss MCR, they've saved me. only thing is
I wouldn't want them back if it meant they wouldn't be happy. If they came back, it'd be amazing, since I've never seen this band live. and if they don't, I'll he heartbroken. but this is life. life means growing up. it means that we move on from things we grew up with. like Gerard has stated, MCR is in all of us. they always have, and always will. thank you so fucking Much for helping me MCR. without you, I'd be gone. thank you for the venom :')
autumn murrie the same applies to me - this describes the band perfectly, glad you got through all that stuff! i completely agree with the stuff about them getting back together, they’ve given us music and hope and every other feeling so we should be grateful, and if they don’t want to get back together, we need to accept that
I feel you, this was the band that made me stand up to my parents and stop self harming
I’m so glad that you’re doing well!! I’ll continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers 😊🙂
What a wonderful human you're, I think possitive thoughts have possitive answers so... They're finally back :')
Hopefully you're still hanging in there, mcr is back!
a b c d e f *gee*
I love the Internet
Twinkle Twinkle little star,
Where the fuck is mcr?
Hey how do you know my math grade?
not sure if this is a g note reference or a gerard reference but i stan anyway
I read that *gee* as the piano note.
This song embodies the feeling of holding onto hope when you have nothing left. It makes me cry, but it's perfect.
That's exactly how I feel about this song :')
He won the fight. He faught so hard & in return when we found his light behind his eyes, we were losing ours. Until we heard this song and so many more. Thank you MCR. Gerard... for choosing life because I have finally chosen mine. @ 30... thank you for convincing me to take my light back @ 13... and repeatedly after. Now I live for my life. Instead of living life.
this song shall be played at my funeral
Me too. Long live MCR, and let's hope Gerard never feels this pain
If this isn't played at my funeral I'm getting out of that coffin like in Helena and going on UA-cam and turning this song on.
This will happen.
ME TOO
This song (as well as other songs from their records) has helped me get through one of the worst moments in my life. My step dad passed away 10/8/13 and when I felt like no one was there for me, I would listen to this song and cry a lot. It would help me relax and know that without my step dad, I would not have gotten into rock music (or appreciating what it can mean to different people) or be alive today. He also took me to my first My Chem show in Chicago @ the Chicago Theater. Thanks dad :).
Josh Nelson - Thank you.
Isauro Valdez I feel u my dad passed when i was six. My mom and dad divorced when i was 3 and he moved to seattle and got into alcohol. He ended it by commiting suicide
Everybody tells me I'm obsessed with mcr and I need to let it go but listening to them is like nothing I've felt before it's a happiness that I cant explain to you they saved me and I've found myself again. Thank you for everything
I know no ones probably going to see this but I feel amazing, like I haven't felt this good since I was 11--12. like I feel like for the first time in a long time I'm actually living life and not just surviving yk because I was severely depressed and I just didn't want to live anymore and now it's just feels so goddamn amazing I want to cry and I can't even describe how I'm feeling. I just wanna give all of you in the comments the biggest fucking hug I have ever given. music is truly medicine for the soul and it has saved me more time than I can count, and probably millions of others. and I just want to say that to anyone anyone who is reading this and your having a hard time with life, It does get better I promise. it may take a while. it may take weeks, months, hell maybe years but it will get better. shit I'm living proof of it and I got through it. I know it's hard, I know it's so hard but you can do this no matter how hard it gets and how much you want to give up. and if you want to cry, fucking cry, get it out. don't keep it in. don't give up, there's so much life you have inside of you and I don't want you to throw it away for anything. don't forget you are amazing and no one can take that away from you. just be you and never give up. I love you all and I wish the best for all of you from the bottom of my heart, truly. MCR forever \m/
That better be a pinky promise :')
Thank you 💐. I hope someone who needs to hear this, sees your post. I agree -- I was "just existing" for a while but waited it out and things did get so much better.
To all the people in the comments who say they're sobbing because of how emotional the song is to them, just remember the boys don't want to see you like this. They want to see you move on a grow stronger. This song is very emotional if you are a true fan who cared about the band and stayed alive because of them. Just know that they have gone separate ways to start new eras and make others as happy as they made us.
im 4 minutes into this song as i write this and i have fallen in love...
R.I.P. My Chemical Romance
MCR is still in my heart!
My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die. Because it is not a band - it is an idea - Gerard Way
Its in my heart too and the hearts of many others... But as he also said, my chemical romance has served its purpose, and i believe it has
"if you promise not to cry"
... I was crying a minute into the song my first time listening to it... I think it's a little too late for that
When I was a freshman in high school I dated this girl who I fell in love with. She cheated on me and got pregnant by another guy. This was the song I turned on and listened to repeatedly.. It's so beautiful and tragic like my circumstances at the time.
Even years later after that event, I turn this song on every now and then to remember the past and to realize how far I've come along since then
