The black parade being a so called "rock opera" is an album that should be listened from back to back as a whole, it is a masterpiece. Each single song from it is great, but the arrangment of whole album creates a totaly different picture.
I vote yes for this to be done
I agree 100%
yessss
Agree, just gave the entire album a listen this past weekend.
Top 3 album for me, when taken as a whole. Listening to the whole album in a go is fantastic.
The Black Parade is a concept album that tells the tail of a terminal cancer patient and memories, emotions and revelations they've had in life. This track uses the black parade is a metaphor for death and passing over to the afterlife. Hence the hospital patient with blurry narrowing vision at the beginning, then turning ghoulish, with the darkened eyes as he joined the parade. The parade its self to me is like a celebration of life and remembrance of those who die as they are escorted on to the afterlife. Even the line "we'll carry on" is like reassurance to them that they will not be forgotten and don't worry about us, we'll make it. It's a piece of art that is best observed from start to finish, but this track was widely considered as their "Bohemian Rhapsody" and stands strong as a single. I'd love to see a full album review if you had the time, even re-listening to tracks in their respective order. And if you do enjoy it, I'd recommend any of their other albums as a whole too. They have ongoing themes or stories in each of them.
Also fun fact: Gerard Way, the lead vocalist, is also the creator of the graphic novel "The Umbrella Academy", which had a couple seasons on Netflix.
Perfectly articulated. I was going to comment saying pretty much the same thing. The Black Parade album is a journey that's best listened in full, even though there are stand-out tracks. To me, it's their masterpiece.
Additional fun fact: Gerard Way created Peni Parker in the Edge of Spiderverse #5 which he authored.
Will there be a season 3 of The Umbrella Academy?
great summary of the the album. MCR had many influences and Queen was one of them!
oh is it really? i always assumed it was more political than that (with the sign in the MV saying "starved to death in a land of plenty", or the lyrics "your misery and hate will kill us all".
it was never a phase for me 😭 this song will always be top tier
IT WAS NEVER A PHASE!
Agreed
SAY IT LOUDERRR
@@heyjuanjo4701who's gonna love you like meeeeee
Yup it will carry on.
This is literally the epitome of jamming with your misery. They use dark and relatable themes but songs like that make you feel a strange wave of catharsis by the end. This is true with all emo/grunge/rock/metal music from 00s in particular. It’s why everyone who grew up with this type of music can’t just leave it behind and why people who were never into just can’t understand and call it "depressing music".
Well put
Agreed
Two years ago, my daughter was struggling and overwhelmed with university demands and the difficulties of getting a degree at the height of the covid pandemic. She ended up being admitted to a psychiatric hospital due to being severely depressed and suicidal. This song became her strength and her anthem. Through some very challenging times MCR has saved her and our family. This song is on all of our playlists and is our go-to anytime the world gets too heavy. We Carry On!
As a 52-year-old man, a co-worker was listening to this song and I asked for them to start it over and loved it. So whenever it comes on I stop what I am doing to listen to it. I am not normally into music like this but I loved this song. The lead singer Gerard Way also writes for comic books and is known for his series, The Umbrella Acadamy which was adapted into a series on Netflix.
Him and Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria work in comics, and have their own graphic novels. Look up The Amory Wars. That's Claudios one.
I’m 54 and my kids introduced me to this song years ago. Now we play it in the cat when we’re together and sing it at the top of our lungs - kind of like we do with bohemian rhapsody! Lol
This is a story about the "patient", who passes on from this life... the scenes flashing are his memories.. and in the end, he joins the "black parade"... meaning his death. (very simple explanation, but I'm sure you get it)
also worth noting that the black parade is a using the belief that death comes in the form of your greatest memory from the idea of your life flashing before your eyes. This case being his viewing of a parade with his father.
@@zachhalla1991I remember a NDE person talking about this that everyone sees a different afterlife due o what they believed or have attachment to. So NDEs that have seen jesus, usually happen to be very religious in life, no religious NDEs dont see him they see a scene from their childhoods or some other worldly things and some nothing! Except 1 lady, about 6ish months back she told her story and she was very religious in life but when she died she didnt see heaven or jesus she saw what non believers would see so yeah safe to say shes no longer religious but I found that very interesting considering her prev life.
This brings me back to my childhood! I personally really like the songs Helena, Teenagers and I'm Not Okay (I Promise)
My Chem have always been the light at the end of the tunnel for a lot of people. Not in the sense of death, but that little bit of hope when everything goes dark at a point in your life.
It's less "I'm telling you everything will be alright" and more "Everything is shit and you know it. But it can be alright, and it's up to you to take that step. We've been there, so we've got your back."
This is a very bare-bones explanation of how hype they actually are as a band with a message (like, zero nuances, seriously). Someone will explain it better than me in the comments.
As for suggestions, this whole album is peak. If I have to choose... Famous Last Words, phenomenal track with phenomenal lyrics. This song has gotten me through so much, it's not even funny.
The whole album is a story, but it can absolutely be listened to and appreciated track by track. It's just that the whole thing together is an experience.
oh, my black emo heart. 🖤 this album was, and always will be, an absolute epic masterpiece.
Thank you for reacting to my patreon pick fella! Can’t wait to see what you thought! 👍🏻
‘I Don’t Love You’ is an amazing song if you’d like to truly enjoy Gerard’s voice.
The first notes of that song, whoo boy. Goosebumps.
I'm Gen X, and this song never fails to conjure this incredible wave of sorrow and unity and empowerment all at once. I get tears in the best possible way.
Even though I was older when this was released, still: it was never a phase.
Fellow Gen X here. The music of the 2000’s always connected for me the best.
@@ctobolskelder millennial here (that always identified more with gen x lol). Absolutely agree. The 2000’s were by far the years that I related to the most musically.
This is the Bohemian Rhapsody of us emo generation. Just pure perfection.
i was so excited to see this pop up 😃 this song is a full-blown anthem for millions of people. it’s one of those songs that, no matter what genre you normally listen to, gets you moving every time you hear it. it’s recognizable from the first note alone. MCR is one of the bands i credit for my still being on this earth (along with Linkin Park, Korn, Disturbed, and Slipknot) and i would love to see you dive in to their discography. this album in particular is one that would benefit from a whole-album reaction because of it telling a complete story as a rock opera.
Glad you're still here
Dude, same for MCR and LP being huge reasons why I'm still here. The defiance in their songs just rubbed off on me in the best way.
Glad you got the vibe mate. Whether you realised or not, your reactions and connections to the song grew as the song progressed to its epic finale. Was a joy to watch that mate. This song comes from the brilliant album (of the same name). Everyone correct me if I’m wrong but a concept album of someone passing on??? Someone else mentioned this song being about the patient dying (and joining the black parade being death itself).
Anyway Teddy, this album is filled with great songs. No filler.
Check Famous Last Words, This Is How I Disappear and Cancer.
Keep it up legend. 🤘
And mama
@@legiondux oh yes, definitely 👍 Actually would love seeing Teddy’s reaction to the breakdowns throughout that song!
This song NEVER fails to give me goosebumps. It's a masterpiece!
My little black heart is so happy 🥹
This is an album that would be fantastic to do a reaction to- the album as a whole is a story about a man who was diagnosed with cancer and his struggles with the stages of grief. Not one even mid song on the whole album. Would also highly recommend the song Ghost of You. Gerard Way (the vocalist) actually cried on set during filming of the music video. Powerful song.
This is a 90 babies anthem. This one is a classic
Wow, the nostalgia really hit me with this one. One of my teenage anthems!
It was fun watching you experience it for the first time.
You've got to do their song Helena next!
Nevermind the meaning behind the lyrics, musically this is a masterpiece and the faces you was pulling shows you heard it! Excellent review, enjoyed this one bro
You should do the whole album! It’s so good, did you know he wrote The Umbrella Academy? Brilliant, Gerard Way is amazing! I think you’d really enjoy the rest of the album!
Boys and girls, please stand for our national anthem ✌🏼🖤
I'm about the same age as Gerard, and have listened to MCR since the beginning. I got to see them live last year with my 20 year old daughter. Black Parade live was EPIC, and I'm really happy my kid and I got to share it.
React to the WHOLE The Black Parade album. It's so good.
I always get goosebumps when listening to this song.
There’s one too many emotions attached to this song for me. But if I hear it, it’s hard not to sing along with every word.
I’d say up through The Black Parade album, I enjoyed their music heavily. Definitely recommend songs like “Honey, This Mirror Isn’t Big Enough For The Two Of Us”, “Helena”, “I’m Not Ok (I Promise)”, “I Don’t Love You”, or “Famous Last Words” if you’re going for the singles. Also other non-singles I like would be “The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You”, “Thank You For The Venom”, “House of Wolves”, or “Sleep”.
The ‘Danger Days’ album never did it for me, but that’s just personal preference.
I absolutely agree with everything you wrote ^^ I would also put "Sharpest Lives" in the mix
I get what you mean about danger days but if you haven't gone back and listened to it I'd recommend trying again sometime cause when I first got into them back in the day I could never really get into that album but listening to it again a couple months ago I added more tracks from it to my playlist than the other albums. The black parade isn't on there at all but that's cause I have to listen to the album all the way through when I listen to it so is it's own separate playlist.
@@noodlelynoodle. I know over the years I’d try going back to it occasionally but I couldn’t get myself fully invested, you know? And if music doesn’t give me a good emotional response, then it doesn’t stick. Although when they released “The Foundations of Decay” in 2022, I got that feeling back again because that old school-raw MCR vibe was back. I’m always open to trying new music, it’s just got to hit me in a certain way to stick.
The amazingness of this song gives me chills every single time while my ponytail is flipping wildly! lol
So glad you enjoyed as much as I do! 😅🖤🙌🏻
hey teddy, i follow alot of your kpop reactions because i am a kpop fan but i am originally a emo lol chemical romance is my shit till this day! thankyou for your reaction. i hope u react too helena maybe in the future!
MCR isn't even emo
seconded !!
The ghost of you, cemetery drive, Helena, all bangers!! Every ones of their songs is amazing!! I’ll always be an emo to my core ♥️
Brilliance in song composition and performance, from musicality to theme. Just. Perfection.
Still one of my favorite albums to this day 🔥💜
You can summon an entire generation of Americans with JUST that first note of this song
I hope you do more MCR songs. They have a lot of great songs.
This is the only CD to ever make me cry. Not this song. But the day I got this CD I was listening to it at like 2am and the song "Cancer" came on and I had recently lost my grandpa to cancer and my grandma on my dads side was going through cancer. I just kind of lost it. I'm getting emotional just thinking about it honestly.
I love MCR, always have, always will and I'm so glad I got to see them live last October.
the black parade helped get me through my mom’s cancer battle and the loss of her at the end… she actually had me put it on her phone so she could listen to it at her treatment appointments, too. i can finally listen to “cancer” without crying because i know she loved it 💜
I'm 100% going to cry seeing them perform this album in October I already know it, I never thought I'd have the chance to see them play it live after their tour for it back in the day but I'm going to and I haven't been this excited for a concert in years
I love MCR! I always thought they were like theatrical storytellers. I went to the Black Parade concert in Mexico and just loved their Day of the Dead vibe. I would suggest all of their songs, but I do find myself always listening to "The Ghost of You" and "Mama". Hope you check them out.
P.O.D Youth of the nation fr🎉
Great song. As I interpret it, his father (who took him to the city to see a marching band) inspired him to be a good person (the savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned). The Black Parade represents the father’s funeral, and in the rest of the song he carries on the memory and the message of his father, though not taking credit for it (I’m not a hero, I’m just a boy who had to sing this song).
The only part that confuses me is the first line of the upbeat part - “sometimes I get the feeling, SHE’s watching over me”. Why she, if it’s about his father?
I think he is talking about "Death"... "i feel like she is watching over me" like as "death is waiting for me"
I’m so happy you reacted to this song, it’s epic!!
Here are my MCR suggestions:
Famous Last words
Helena
The Foundations of Decay
Teenagers
Mama
I’m not okay
Ghost of you
Sleep
Cemetery drive
Light behind your eyes
Kids of yesterday
Dead!
The End
Na na na
Scarecrow
Disenchanted
Planetary Go!
Sing
I don’t love you
Cancer (if you can stop crying 😢)
Destroya
Party poison
This is how I disappear
Listen to the black parade album. The whole album is a story of the patient who is sick with cancer, ultimately he passes away. This song was the moment the patient passes away (when the curtains drop).
MCR are one of my all time favourite bands. They got their name from a book that Mikey Way (the bass player and brother of the singer Gerard Way) was reading.
Book was called Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance by Irvine Walsh
I have always adored this song, this band. Ghost of You is my personal favorite from them, but they are just incredible, all the way around.
Ghost of you is underrated, IMO. Great mv also
Welcome to the black parade, in my opinion, is the "bohemian rhapsody" of our time. I could be wrong, but it just feels like it.
Yes!!! I was thinking the same thing and that might be what they were going for too 😅
I think it’s very apt considering the band are very big fans of Queen.
They have even headlined a live festival with Brian May as guest guitarist.
Bro this is my first time watching your video but you're very in tune with music theory, the fact that you're taking in the lyrics with the music video and the sound. Bro you have a new subscriber! you're a true one! and the fact that you're a rapper giving my music a chance. Bro. god bless!!
One of the best bands in my lifetime!!!!
that's my childhood right there man. brings me to tears every time!
Dude! This is their BoRhap! This may already be in the comments, but this video is so visually stunning and the voices in tandem gawd it brings me to tears. Crying now. You just need to watch from the beginning what their concept is
The one piano note of this song is to rock and emo fans what the first note of "Back That Azz Up" is to rap fans.
You know it immediately
Man, I'm jealous of the people who listen to this for yhe first time, because I'd sell my fucking soul to be able to experience this song again for the first time like when I was 16.
I’ve been a my Chem fan for over 20 years. Their music has gotten me through a lot. I was lucky to relive some memories last year when they came to Detroit again!
😊
Goosebumps.. Its been a long years ive never it again..
So long and goodnight...
This is my first favorite band..
I never was a huge fan that I was obsessed with them.... but I did listen to their songs back in the day. "I'm not okay" is actually my personal favourite.
Some of these songs that started to come up on your channel really make me f-ing nostalgic. For a short moment I wish to be a teen again.
Also btw wont you post it on Patreon as well?
Listen to the whole album in order. It makes sense.
i love when people slowly fall in love with this song
Next stop - reacting to The Black Parade album.
Thank you for your thoughts, I love the way you got the feeling of this song, even though it's a bit confusing at the beginning.
I absolutely love this song, from the start which is intense to just a full on rock song, incredible song!
Is this really ur first time hearing this song?!?!!? I love this album which centres around a central character. And i love their album Three Cheers for Sweet Revevenge which also has a story line running thru the album
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
even if im late to finding this channel , this is an anthem for everyone thats on death´s edge and for everyone that´s lost a loved one, the anguish of loss and the "carry on" is a memento to just survive. dont dwell , its so impactfull . my brother and father died 2 years before this song and i was so broken i took to the bottle. this song pretty much saved me after 2 years of drunkness. its just so amazing what music can do.
Awesome that you're checking out My Chemical Romance! My personal favorite songs by this band are I'm Not Okay and Famous Last Words (this song is from The Black Parade album).
This band, this album, and this song were all a reaction/response to the attacks on Sept. 11th, 2001
The lead singer was on a ferry in the Hudson at the time the first plane hit. You can imagine how it affected anyone in that position.
Hell, I was at home watching the news while getting ready for college and was traumatized by the footage. I can't even imagine being there in person.
I need a full reaction to the whole album
highly suggest you to check out:
- Mama
- Famous Last Words
- The Ghost of You
- Sleep
- Disenchanted
So awesome to see how you get so into this! I saw them live years ago, and hearing them perform this was northing short of incredible. The Black Parade album is fully worth a listen, if you ever get around to it. It stirs up so many emotions. I think of it as their masterpiece album.
(New viewer by the way, I'm enjoying your content!)
cool fact, the singer is also a well known comic book creator, he did The Umbrella Academy, Netflix has a liveaction adaptation
I know everyone here will tell you Black Parade is their best album, but for me their best will always be Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge-especially the songs ‘Helena’ and ‘The Ghost of You’
anthem of all anthems , absolutely massive song, goes off as you would imagine … god bless MCR,
Gotta check out Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge album. So good
Oh Gerard....those opening notes....my heart....🖤🖤 I'm not crying you're crying.....
The black parade is death....we all join it.
Black Parade gives me Bohemian Rhapsody vibes and it’s one of my favorite rock songs!🙌🏻
I have really been enjoying your reactions to music that I honestly would never think you would give a chance. I appreciate your take on these tracks. Thanks for always keeping it real.
Fun fact Gerard Way (blonde singer) wrote The Umbrella Academy, very cool!
Awesome reaction, I realised we were dancing the same at each part lol whoooo fun fun fun
Damn. Let me just pull out my iPod nano from 2007 and show you my playlist haha.
Same😂
Ah.. memories haha.
This was a turning point.
A ballad, and an anthem for so many back then.
Carry on 🫡
I did not expect this haha
this band made me who I am today🔥
reminiscing my emo phase - high school days with this song (searching for my eyeliner..)
this genre started it all for me and now I'm into metalcore and deathcore🔥🔥🔥
as a mcr + skz fan, I’m so happy to see you discovering MyChem! q___q
they are my all time favorites since 2006-7, and in my opinion their lyricism and music are one of the greatest things ever happened to the music industry
yessir, welcome indeed 🤘🏻🔥🍻 here’s a new one for you:
Coheed & Cambria-Welcome Home
EPIC!
You make me wish I could hear all these songs for the first time again, and we LOVE this for Teddy Grey :')
This was my first watch on your channel. Loved every second of it.
it's so satisfying to see someone react to all the stuff from my childhood... linkin park, disturbed, now this...
This song will be played at my funeral. I think we could all agree its one of the perfect ones. I dont want people to be sad thinking of me. I want then to be able to carry on.
This is one of the best concept albums out there imo, and I really only started appreciating it a couple years ago. Deals with death and tragedies of life and this song now always makes me think of my late father and the emotions I have behind that.
I highly recommend watching the wendigoon Breakdown of how rearranging the track order of the album creates a chronological story of a bitter individuals battle with cancer and eventual acceptance of mortality and being ushered into the afterlife by the Parade Leader/Reaper… this album so needs to be made into a film.
I have the words Carry On tattooed on my wrist because it's a great life motto (idea came from this song). If things are bad, carry on through. If things are good, carry on with what you're doing instead of slacking off or changing course. AND, your memory will carry on when you're gone, so live in a way that makes that memory positive and uplifting and world-changing for the people who remember you.
Saw them last October was the best experience of my life. Love MCR and this song is iconic. ❤
Emo kid for life here... The Black Parade is one of the best albums for me all time. This song was an anthem for a whole generation! I would suggest also check out "Boy Division" and "It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Fucking Deathwish" by them.
I love MCR so much, their music comforted me for many years... but I also love DWAEKKI who is behind, SKZ is really great!
Gerard and Bangchan my two favorite people in the world. 🖤
You should know that when this song came out... It became the anthem of our generation back in the day... this is the modern version of Bohemian Rhapsody...
Two fun facts about the lead singer. He is Joe Rogan‘s cousin and he also wrote umbrella, Academy comics, and then it became the TV show, of course.
This drum beginning is one of the best ever
As a 34 year old black man from the south this song is legendary. That album itself is the same.
I absolutely adore this song. Funny you mention it sounding like Christmas music tho bc I found a mashup/mixup video of All I Want for Christmas is You and this song and it actually goes really well together
Yes! 'my chemical romance-famous last words' is must have on my car playlist. My chemical romance is still great after all these years
Honestly jealous of you 😩. I watched you experience Skz for the first time and go through the journey, and now you get to experience the Bohemian Rhapsody of our time also for the first time. Hope you enjoy listening to MCR as they were the voice of hope for many of us.
please do more tracks from this album, has been my favourite album for many many years and it never gets old
Extra comment to somewhat explain the video.
The guy in the beginning is dying. In his last moments he thinks of his fondest memory, which is his dad taking him to a parade when he was still young.
Death (as explained by the front man Gerard Way) comes to you in the form of your happiest memory. It can be a moment, a person, an experience, whatever. And for this dude it was a parade.
To avoid spoiling too much (if you're interested in the album) the whole thing tells this one guy's story as he talks with "Death".
Personal theory: This leader of the parade is taking him to the afterlife, as they go through his "goods and bads" on their journey. It's a little open-ended, where he ends up but it's an amazing journey.
PS: the punk in punk-rock is very prominent in My Chem, so I strongly recommend having lyrics on hand when reacting to their stuff.
After Meteora...please do Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water by Limp Bizkit
The black parade was my favourite song when I was 4 years old. I am 12 now and I have known MCR all my life
This one really is an anthem
YESSS OMG I've been asking this for ages thank you so much!!!!! MCR is known for their theatricality and dramatic visuals, till this day people is heavily inspired by their aesthetic and music. Most of it comes from Gerard Way (the singer), he's an artist who has always loved comic books and has worked with it even before the band. He's also the author of The Umbrella Academy, which became a tv series on Netflix. He's a genius.
This song in particular is about grief. Learning to carry on after death. It's almost like a promise to the person who died, that you'll carry on after them
And in case it’s not on the list yet, I think you’d be really into The Used- The Taste of Ink. As soon as you hear the intro, you’ll never get it out of your head!
