@@cudahitz yep, she sings the 'and if you could call me a sweetheart, i'd maybe then sing you a song' part and the crying at the end, which was completely improvised on her part!
Imagine pitching this to Liza Minelli (one of 16 people who have got an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony)) and having her agree. That's an amazing feat. MCR is and has always been fundamental listening.
my chem is theatrical as hell. i love this aesthetic, it feels so big so important. like the whole "black parade" album. this song is about the protagonist of bp "the patient" going to war and writing a letter to his mother. his mother basically rejects him and calls him a monster for all the things he had to do during war. i also reccomend to check out "sleep" or "i never told you what i do for a living". they are from different albums but kinda have similar meaning. and both are just amazing songs. thanks for the reaction!
Theatrical? Good gosh.... This all break Up thing was plan.... Frank kinda confirmed it.....people Who wear dangers Day was having the answer... Frank give cue in almost Every single entreview he had in 2019.... Little shit..... We still love you thought...
World War 1 in specific, the beginning is artillary fire, and key lyrical choices helps point it back to WW1, injuries, smell, general insanity and Shell Shock (PTSD modern-day)
Mama was instantly one of my favs on the album,because it is so non ordinary, so unique and to have Liza Minnelli do vocals on it crazy. And their own parents also.
This song is so ambitious and kind of keeps you off kilter because of the constant tempo and instrumentation changes. It's grown to be one of my favorites because the last three sections are so damn funky and the subject matter is powerful. Side note: The vocals of "Mama" are Liza Minelli.
@@cudahitz When this album came out Gerard had a bit of swagger about this song. He said "We got Liza Minnelli. How you going to top that? Barbara Streisand?" And I do believe that we are all still waiting for you to have Sleep melt your face off. 😉 (Make sure you do a lyric video because there are some buried lyrics that will give you chills.)
The placement of Mama in The Black Parade album is absolutely amazing. It leads into Sleep which is a freaking experience in itself. Highly recommend listening to the album- it's about a man dying from cancer. Each song focuses on an aspect of death and dying- where will he end up? Who will remember him?
@@cudahitz please do a full album reaction. It's gonna be a long video - probably split into 2 or 3 actually - but you're absolutely gonna love that thing. I discovered that album in a reaction video and it changed my life.
Anyone else notice/love the creepy under-tone voice that sings with Gerard about what the war did to his legs and to his tongue? I love how it starts in the left ear transitions to the right when he says he should have been a better son. I also love how the end of the song feels like a sort of Pirate Shanty. So well done! edit: I tend to comment as I'm watching. Yes, Cuda noticed :p
I interpret the raspy voice to be the patient who we know is dying of cancer and I think he's specifically dying of throat cancer, presumably from years of chain smoking. Also the "You should have been (I could have been) a better son!" Is likely a back and forth between the patient and death with the latter scolding the former about how he treated his friends and family and the patient lamenting his behavior.
I stan these... they’re quite underrated. There should be more reactions to these because they’re amazing. Specially listening to both This Is How I Disappear and The Sharpest Lives at the same time since they’re connected.
They're great at mixing in different kinds of sounds into their songs. Like the guitar rifts around 4:30 sound classic hard rock and in the song "Teenagers", they do a guitar solo that sounds super classic country. It's always surprising and impressive.
Good to see you! "That's weird. I like it though." Yep, same. This song took a long time to grow on me because it's so unorthodox. As usual, I like your analysis. It's nice to hear the opinion of someone who actually knows about music. Oh yeah, AND: Eskimo Callboy - Hypa Hypa
Love songs like this, never boring with all the changes to keep you intrigued, given the theme behind this I like the way it goes into like a drunken sing along between comrades at the end
Please listen to Sleep off Black Parade. Has what I consider to be some of Gerards most emotional screams. I believe the voice recording at the beginning is about the night terrors and sleep paralyisis Gerard was having staying in this old creepy house while they recorded the album. OH and You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison.
The lyrics make more since when you know the back story, so the story behind it is that it is a perspective of a soldier who is about to die and he is writing a note to his mom and him and his mom are in a fight because he went to war and the things he did in war
This song is such a bop! I love it so much, its about a someone in war. Their writing a letter to their mother, i like to think its before death but its up to how ever you interpert it.
"Mama" is a musical response to Pink Floyd's concept album "The Wall." For a lot of added context, listen to the following songs from "The Wall:" Mother (obviously) Waiting for the Worms Stop The Trial Then listen to "Mama" again. It will be a completely different experience.
This song is off the album The Black Parade, a concept album and rock opera that is a staple in music for many more years to come. You've reacted to most of the songs off that album which I've just noticed and that's awesome
Gotta say my favorite part is after liza minelli (I definitely spelled her name wrong) sings and the choir of the damned (as I like to call them) joins in
Mama, we all go to hell Mama, we all go to hell I'm writing this letter and wishing you well Mama, we all go to hell Oh well now, Mama, we're all gonna die Mama, we're all gonna die Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry Mama, we're all gonna die And when we go, don't blame us, yeah We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah You made us oh, so famous, we'll never let you go And when you go, don't return to me, my love Mama, we're all full of lies Mama, we're meant for the flies And right now, they're building a coffin your size Mama, we're all full of lies Well mother, what the war did to my legs and to my tongue You should've raised a baby girl, I should've been a better son If you could coddle the infection, they can amputate at once You should've been, I could have been a better son And when we go, don't blame us, yeah We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah You made us oh, so famous We'll never let you go She said, "You ain't no son of mine For what you've done, they're gonna find A place for you and just you mind your manners when you go And when you go, don't return to me, my love" That's right Mama, we all go to hell Mama, we all go to hell It's really quite pleasant, except for the smell Mama, we all go to hell Mama! Mama! Mama! Oh! Mama! Mama! Mama! Ma... And if you would call me a sweetheart I'd maybe then sing you a song But there's shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun You would cry out your eyes, all along We're damned, after all Through fortune and flame, we fall And if you can stay, then I'll show you the way To return from the ashes you call We all carry on When our brothers in arms are gone So raise your glass high, for tomorrow, we die And return from the ashes you call
Fun fact: liza minelli is in the song, literally
Oh really?? That is pretty cool
@@cudahitz yep, she sings the 'and if you could call me a sweetheart, i'd maybe then sing you a song' part and the crying at the end, which was completely improvised on her part!
@@ax6527 I hate to say I always thought it was gee

Imagine pitching this to Liza Minelli (one of 16 people who have got an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony)) and having her agree. That's an amazing feat. MCR is and has always been fundamental listening.
No one is ever quite prepared for this song. I love it. Sleep next?
That is a great way of putting it! I did not expect what I got
Sleep is such a masterpiece. I love this whole album, but The End, Mama, and Sleep are all crazy high points.
You should definitely listen to "sleep" by mcr for a really deep dive into a spiritual experience
I will take a look! I want to start listening to more of MCR
A second this xD
Deep deep sleep 💤 in HELL SLEEP 💤
instablaster...
my chem is theatrical as hell. i love this aesthetic, it feels so big so important. like the whole "black parade" album. this song is about the protagonist of bp "the patient" going to war and writing a letter to his mother. his mother basically rejects him and calls him a monster for all the things he had to do during war.
i also reccomend to check out "sleep" or "i never told you what i do for a living". they are from different albums but kinda have similar meaning. and both are just amazing songs. thanks for the reaction!
I will check out more of their stuff for sure!
Theatrical? Good gosh.... This all break
Up thing was plan.... Frank kinda confirmed it.....people Who wear dangers Day was having the answer... Frank give cue in almost Every single entreview he had in 2019.... Little shit..... We still love you thought...
World War 1 in specific, the beginning is artillary fire, and key lyrical choices helps point it back to WW1, injuries, smell, general insanity and Shell Shock (PTSD modern-day)
It's not actually The Patient who goes to war it's actually the leader of the parade nicknamed Pepe
Mama was instantly one of my favs on the album,because it is so non ordinary, so unique and to have Liza Minnelli do vocals on it crazy. And their own parents also.
I wish I heard/noticed her vocals more! It is a great song for sure
This man doesnt know what he just witnessed
AHAHA very true
This song is so theatrical, and the crazy funhouse circus sounds thrown in. MCR songs always has my mind creating visuals while I listen
This song is so ambitious and kind of keeps you off kilter because of the constant tempo and instrumentation changes. It's grown to be one of my favorites because the last three sections are so damn funky and the subject matter is powerful. Side note: The vocals of "Mama" are Liza Minelli.
Ohhhh did not know that about Liza!

SO what you’re saying is that I should listen to Sleep now that i listened to MAMA
@@cudahitz please do a full album reaction. It's gonna be a long video - probably split into 2 or 3 actually - but you're absolutely gonna love that thing. I discovered that album in a reaction video and it changed my life.
The modern Bohemian Rhapsody. The melodic switches are amazing.
I just love the guitars in the song it’s just😘.
Same! They did a wicked job

You should react to This is how I disappear, Sharpest lives and Dead! You're gonna like it !!
The best three openers of album
I will have to check them out!
If you do dead, please do "the end" before it ^-^ they go together and seamless run into each other
I stan these... they’re quite underrated. There should be more reactions to these because they’re amazing. Specially listening to both This Is How I Disappear and The Sharpest Lives at the same time since they’re connected.

Oh yeah, AND: Eskimo Callboy - Hypa Hypa
Ahaha thank you for the support! Ya, it is a weird song, but in the best of ways! So unorthodox and different
Fun fact :gerard and mikey ways(bassist) parents sing in this song and so do frank ieros(guitarist)
I'M HERE! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Me too bro
Thank you for the support:)
This is basically a play in the form of a singular song lmao.
The entire album is a whole concept album tho which is badass
I want to check out the album beginning to end!
@@cudahitz well actually, you should start from "The End." 😁
Great reaction and breakdown with the music and vocals. Thank you for doing more MCR.
Thank you! Will do!
this is a musical masterpiece
I love this song, remember hearing it when the album first came out. Fantastic all the way through.
Love songs like this, never boring with all the changes to keep you intrigued, given the theme behind this I like the way it goes into like a drunken sing along between comrades at the end
Agreeeed! Such a good song
youre so lucky you recorded your reaction, i wish i could hear this song for the first time again💔💔
Please listen to Sleep off Black Parade. Has what I consider to be some of Gerards most emotional screams. I believe the voice recording at the beginning is about the night terrors and sleep paralyisis Gerard was having staying in this old creepy house while they recorded the album.
OH and You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison.
I definitely will take a look at them!
Welcome back bro 🤘🔥🍻 Sharpest Lives or This is How I Disappear
AHahaha I never left! And I have to listen to Sharpest Lives especially
The lyrics make more since when you know the back story, so the story behind it is that it is a perspective of a soldier who is about to die and he is writing a note to his mom and him and his mom are in a fight because he went to war and the things he did in war
This is legitimately one of the best, if not, THE best song they've ever written
This is probably my favorite
The showtune feel of the ending is so great.
Funeral For A Friend "Streetcar" from the album "Hours" - they are Welsh!
This song is such a bop! I love it so much, its about a someone in war. Their writing a letter to their mother, i like to think its before death but its up to how ever you interpert it.
this song n house of wolves is my fav song of all the song from black parade album
i love all of them but the 2 of them's the most my fav
They are both great songs!
Idk why but this song reminds me of a rock version of bohemian rhapsody
I think that Desolation Row is a fun song and videoclip that you can look up to
"Mama" is a musical response to Pink Floyd's concept album "The Wall." For a lot of added context, listen to the following songs from "The Wall:"
Mother (obviously)
Waiting for the Worms
Stop
The Trial
Then listen to "Mama" again. It will be a completely different experience.
Sharpest Lives
Very creative track wow
4:08 I knew miles ahead you would love that part!! Metal head!!!
Check out the live version of this from Mexico... their last live show. The entirety of it is phenomenal
Dude wtf how is your channel so small? You're being too underrated! Great job, great video!!
This song is off the album The Black Parade, a concept album and rock opera that is a staple in music for many more years to come. You've reacted to most of the songs off that album which I've just noticed and that's awesome
Ya, this album is absolute gold from what I have already heard
You need to ear "I'm not okay", "Cáncer", "You know what they do to guys like us in prison"... better react to all MCR's discography
I'm not okay is absolutely stellar
ahahahaha I have a lot of MCR I got to listen to
you should react to "mama" live in mexico!!
I would love to see and hear his live work
Some really good songs that I’d recommend is The Sharpest Lives, I Never Told You What I Do For A Living, and Sing
Thanks Luna! I will check them out!
It’s Not A Fashion Statement, It’s A Deathwish by MCR. A deep cut, but my favorite.
Got to listen to these ones!
the sea chant thing at the end features each f the members parents
React to Cancer Live in Mexico
One of Gerad's best live vocals. It's my favorite song.
I will have to take a look into it!
I 2nd this.. Yessss plz Cancer Live in Mexico! Its so... hypnotically mesmerising 😃
Finally!!!🎉😂
The song I hum upon waking😃
Honestly, it has such a good melody!
Gotta say my favorite part is after liza minelli (I definitely spelled her name wrong) sings and the choir of the damned (as I like to call them) joins in
Sleep by MRC is great but I would much rather you see their cover of Desolation Row. Both are excellent and need to be heard though
My Rhemical Comance
Very creative
Great channel
I appreciate that greatly Kieran:)
His brain is so dark and insane love his 🧠
React to either Sleep or Cancer! I recommend getting the lyrics on both while listening because they are very powerful.
They are on my list!
You need listen This song in his live version
My man, you gotta do the white stripes. Maybe start with death letter blues live. You wont regret it.
I know one of their songs and it is awesome :p!
Please react to sleep by mcr :))

Mama, we all go to hell
Mama, we all go to hell
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well
Mama, we all go to hell
Oh well now, Mama, we're all gonna die
Mama, we're all gonna die
Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry
Mama, we're all gonna die
And when we go, don't blame us, yeah
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah
You made us oh, so famous, we'll never let you go
And when you go, don't return to me, my love
Mama, we're all full of lies
Mama, we're meant for the flies
And right now, they're building a coffin your size
Mama, we're all full of lies
Well mother, what the war did to my legs and to my tongue
You should've raised a baby girl, I should've been a better son
If you could coddle the infection, they can amputate at once
You should've been, I could have been a better son
And when we go, don't blame us, yeah
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah
You made us oh, so famous
We'll never let you go
She said, "You ain't no son of mine
For what you've done, they're gonna find
A place for you and just you mind your manners when you go
And when you go, don't return to me, my love"
That's right
Mama, we all go to hell
Mama, we all go to hell
It's really quite pleasant, except for the smell
Mama, we all go to hell
Mama! Mama! Mama! Oh!
Mama! Mama! Mama! Ma...
And if you would call me a sweetheart
I'd maybe then sing you a song
But there's shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun
You would cry out your eyes, all along
We're damned, after all
Through fortune and flame, we fall
And if you can stay, then I'll show you the way
To return from the ashes you call
We all carry on
When our brothers in arms are gone
So raise your glass high, for tomorrow, we die
And return from the ashes you call
The second voice you're hearing is none other than Liza Minelli herself!
Whenever i listen to this i just go feral haahah
make some reaction to "sleep" one of the best song in the album the black parade
It is definitely on my list!
I love listening to mcr loud enough that when i take off my headphones its ✨pain✨
Did u hear la la la la on second chorus?
this song features liza minelli!
The and beat ist called off beat think thats the word you are looking for :P
Hi, I'm kinda late, but I think you should react to "Heaven Help Us". It's a really underrated song since it's only on the japanese version
Oh jeez they had albums with songs only available in certain countries?? That is sick
Yes, it was on The Black Parade, everywhere it's Blood, and in Japan they have Heaven Help Us :')
Never ever compare them.
Who?
@@jacketslut1285 Chester Bennington and Gerard
Can you please react to "Lane boy" by Tøp whenever you get the chance, I really like your videos.
I will look into it!
Please do
Lady of sorrow

Amazing song obviously but can we talk about how hot Gerard looks in that picture🤤🤤🤤

Bohemian Rhapsody From Gerard Way🎉

React to sharpest lives by mcr
Listen to house of wolves, or this is how i disappear
Not a song you typically hear folks reacting to. Interesting choice.
First !!!
They don't fit in anyone's box.
