"I didn't think I was gonna make it past 25. I didn't have any plans past 25 because I never thought I would make it to 25. And then I made it to 25 and then, you know, more years started going and I was like, "Oh, I better figure out what I REALLY wanna do for the rest of my life" because I didn't think I would make it this far. I didn't think I would be alive this far. But I'm sure a lot of people feel that way. I wasn't doing anything really dangerous. I just didn't think... I just didn't think... Then you come out the other side, you come out the other side of that." -Gerard Way at House of Blues San Diego 10/24/15
And now that you're pointing at it, that specific quote gives me some "Disenchated" vibe. About Gerard feeling like shit all depressed and melancholic while everybody is cheering and screaming for him to sing about his deathwishes and stuff.
I loved MCR, and till now I wasn't enough brave to listen the new songs. BUT: The thing what makes Gerard's music great, is that he is making real music - lyrics with meaning. It's so rare nowadays and everyone should make music like this and keep the meaning of MUSIC alive. :)
Songs like this make me so happy music is a part of humanity and life. Music is so amazing, I don't even have the words to tell you how much I appreciate it.
I wish his album was appreciated more, that it had more exposure. It really is an amazing record even though this is not my usual type of music and it did take me a second listen to catch my ear. Gerard is a true artist
I could definitely see this being used in a movie starting about a minute in. Somebody would be running towards something, the climax of a movie basically. Running to go be with a wife, girlfriend, ect. before they go on and leave forever or something like that.
A lot of the time when I listen to a song I like, I like to come up with a little story to go along with it and I dunno, I thought I might share. Whenever I hear this song, I like to think of a short little nerdy girl who looks way younger than she is living in some small apartment in the big city and her life is boring and it feels like everyone in the world is against her. But she's got this group of friends and they all meet up in her apartment every week and gather around her dinner table and just play Dungeons and Dragons and eat way too much snack food and goof around until they're too tired to think straight. So she's got her one life where she feels tiny and scared and worthless and another where she's the hero and there's magic and it's actually possible the truly save the day. Interpret it how you like, but that's the story that makes me happy.
This song is amazing, I really like the lyric about living past 25. It reminds me of my brother, he's getting older but he still doesn't have his life figured out at all and I worry about him a lot. I want to lend him the Hesitant Alien CD sometime, I think he's really like it. He and Gee are both artists, and they both have that really genuine, loving vibe to them. This is why I love Gerard's music, it has the potential to change so many lives and gives people so so much hope. ❤️
This song makes me incredibily happy. Gerard is not just a singer or a musician, he's an artist. THIS (and some MCR's songs) put me into such deep cathartic ecstasy I just have no words to describe it.
I listened to the whole album and even though it's not particularly my style, I fell in love with "Millions" and "How it's going to be"... Gerard's voice never fails to make me smile :)
no it better than Disney land its like a world where everything is perfect and music is your God it's Just so ferken perfect I just want to flip a table over and then flip it back so I can dance on it
this has to be my fave song off of hesitant alien, i want to write "wishing wells and magic spells and everything between, can you tell me what its like or how its going to be?" on every surface in my house xD
It sounds like Styx crossed with ELO crossed with pure catharsis... I almost can't believe that it's my favorite song on the album, and I love the whole album.
Nick Pannell You're right. There's a touch of Supertramp in it too. But seriously, go listen to Grand Illusion-Era Styx or ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky" and try not to hear the commonalities (the ending of "Mr. Blue Sky" in particular resonates). Truth be told, there's traces of Styx throughout Gerard's work, both solo and MCR (the "Come Sail Away" / "Welcome to the Black Parade" parallel being the most obvious).
So happy Gerard continued in music, I love this album and though I haven't explored the other MCR members careers I feel and hope they're doing great things too!
Either its just a coincidence and I'm going crazy or its there for a reason, but he mentioned smoke rings.Doesn't Frank Iero have a song called Smoke Rings???
*listens to the song* Me: WELL ARE YOU READY RAY *fakes a high voice* yEAH How bout you Frank? *drunk sound* Aw I'm there baby~ How bout you Moikey!? *toaster* FUHKIN READY
"i wouldn't lie i never really wanted more than what i needed after all, someone that hates to see me go" well you got it gee. many people who would hate to see you go.
I'm positive now that this is my favorite song that Gerard ever created. It sounds like such a battle cry. When it's a message of surrender, not necessarily giving up, but knowing that this is the end of a long fight. We fought the world with hands twice-tied The people cheered, the captain cried I'll keep the souvenir inside It's just better in my mind And don't get me started on "we're just bored you're still alive"
I just found a connection in Gerard saying "And you said we'd all be dead by twenty-five", and the fact the Bullets was realized in 2002, when Gee was 25
I absolutely love this new album, but the one thing I dont like about is that I can't solely concentrate on Gerard's voice. That's why, for example, my favorite MCR was always bulletproof heart, because of how raw and perfect his voice sounds. I just sort of like his voice basically.
It always makes me wonder; who said they would be dead by 25? It makes me sad as well. And happy that they (if I'm correct in that meaning) are all alive and well.
But after this album He is not going to make music anymore ? beacuse i' ve seen that recently he is more near to his comics, and It's been actually two years .-.
Actually he talked about new music in two tweets around May 1 "@.seamusrabbit this Fall i begin writing music again" This was in reply to someone asking about music plans 2 "@.GennySwan yup! No plans of release but there are plans of writing" also in reply about someone asking about music So we should be hearing some new music from Gerard in little while or so
+Federica De Santis Actually in a recent interview at Comic Con Gerard revealed his new album and its name but its going to be ( the interview) in the black parade magazine issue i think
The lyrics on the first page are really dark: "In paper armour that you'd mind" - being bound in armour against your will. "They'll hold the match to you this time and watch the smoke rings fit the crime" - they will burn the paper armour that your wearing, and watch the rising smoke that's just like your murder; black and horrible

*listens to this song*
*has the sudden urge to run in a field throwing glitter*
All his songs make me want to do that
rejitu so true xD I even got glitter
Ok the glitter is ready,when we doing this?
@@darknesseverdeen9007 march 22nd
Everyone's saying this song makes them so happy.. It makes me feel sad. Like not that it creates sadness, but that it understands it
Finally someone who feels the same about this
Yes. Well said.

+Toxic Adrenaline I was at that concert :) I'd never really listened to this song until after he said that and now it's become my whole life haha
Honestly this song is way too fucking relatable X'D
Smashing pumpkins
ITS 3 AM IM CRYING
@@mariannaskrtskrt7880 don't cry, craft
This song feels tragic. I want to laugh and cry at the same time.
It gives me a nostalgic feel tbh
And now that you're pointing at it, that specific quote gives me some "Disenchated" vibe. About Gerard feeling like shit all depressed and melancholic while everybody is cheering and screaming for him to sing about his deathwishes and stuff.
KissMeDead Wow, that is super deep. I thought that was what he was referring to in "Disenchanted," but I wasn't entirely sure
I have never heard Gerard Way this high in vocals before...!!! I'm impressed c;
you really need to listen to sleep from MCR. I'm not saying it's not high but sleep has an intense moment
Ik like boy has this beautiful falsetto he’s just been holding out on us
This song is the reason of the existence of the word ''Epicness''
I loved MCR, and till now I wasn't enough brave to listen the new songs. BUT: The thing what makes Gerard's music great, is that he is making real music - lyrics with meaning. It's so rare nowadays and everyone should make music like this and keep the meaning of MUSIC alive. :)

+Jingerkywi I live and breath music bro
I bought the album. so happy I did.
Yeah same ^.^ soo glad, he's like a hero to me; a savior
X
I still haven't, can't find it anywhere
I wish his album was appreciated more, that it had more exposure. It really is an amazing record even though this is not my usual type of music and it did take me a second listen to catch my ear. Gerard is a true artist
gerard goes from "mama we're all going to hell" to "wishing wells and magic spells" damn.
*coughs harshly* sMOKE RINGS UHM
*someone in the distance:* "GERARD YOU CANT JUST FRANK UP YOUR LYRICS."
RandomPony9 WTF
YOU CANT DO THAT
WHY DID YOU DO THAT
YES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS COMMENT
I could definitely see this being used in a movie starting about a minute in. Somebody would be running towards something, the climax of a movie basically. Running to go be with a wife, girlfriend, ect. before they go on and leave forever or something like that.
I thought i was the only one omf-
yassss
this song reminds me of running past a field
God Gerard looks so much like David Bowie in that picture.
Introspective Cats he's a handsome feller
Introspective Cats yesss

Update since I forgot about this comment: I heard it live. At the last bit he made us all use our hands like puppets and had the hands sing along.
Maggie Garrett Man, if I didn't want to see him live before, I sure as hell want to now omg
Sage Kyla He is an adorable little man.
Damn, now REALLY wanna see him live

This entire album has a nostalgic vibe and it makes me sad, it also means that I relate half the lyrics to mcr which makes me even sadder.
Love every song on the album, can't choose a favourite!
I listened to the whole album and even though it's not particularly my style, I fell in love with "Millions" and "How it's going to be"... Gerard's voice never fails to make me smile :)
2:30 - end is :WOW:. This is good stuff. This whole album is wonderful.
Sunshine and rainbows. Feeling that vibe
this fucking song makes me feel like I'm in Disneyland
***** now that i think about it, this would be a good song for someone to place in a blog
no it better than Disney land its like a world where everything is perfect and music is your God it's Just so ferken perfect I just want to flip a table over and then flip it back so I can dance on it
+Tobin Montano this song reminds of like an astronaut traveling through space, looking out the window. Seeing all the beauty that there is to see
it's the gerard mind's world. :)
RIGHT
this has to be my fave song off of hesitant alien, i want to write "wishing wells and magic spells and everything between, can you tell me what its like or how its going to be?" on every surface in my house xD
I WAS JUST LISTENING TO FRANKS SONGS AND NOW IM LISTENING TO GERARDS SONGS AND THEYRE SO DIFFERENT I LOVE IT
This song makes me feel so happy! I don't even know why, it just makes me feel all good inside!
Anyone else feel like he might be talking to the other ex-band members?
Alex of the MCRmy Of course you would hear that in this song. Of course.
Climbing Chimes Hehe
...Why?
You think everything is about them getting back together! XD
Can you blame me? But really I thought he might have been referring to when they were a band in the lyrics or something.
My favorite song on this album.
I get very happy when listening to this song, but it is very sad. That is the beauty.
This song never gets old
the last strains of this song always make me cry. it is really beautiful.
I hear so much emotion in his voice on this song. I love it. It makes me cry a little.
Definitely my favorite song on Hesitant Alien
Still my favourite from this album. Soon an anniversary. To me it's yesterday. ❤
I love the sound of this song. The lyrics are amazing I just wish I knew what he meant? Is he talking about the music industry? I dno..
It is always hard to understand Gerard's lyrics at first. He's writing is great tho xD
amo esta cancion... tambien
Definitely my favorite song on this album
gerard you genius
SO MANY FEELS FROM THIS
i love this. Gerard just being Gerard. All the color, its great. it makes me wish i didn't stop wearing color...
I love this song, when I get bad anxiety this song make me feel refreshed and relaxed
It's so funny if you listen to like bullets or murder scene and then this. Such a different mindset. I love it, I'm proud of G
It sounds like Styx crossed with ELO crossed with pure catharsis... I almost can't believe that it's my favorite song on the album, and I love the whole album.
The hell it is.
Nick Pannell You're right. There's a touch of Supertramp in it too. But seriously, go listen to Grand Illusion-Era Styx or ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky" and try not to hear the commonalities (the ending of "Mr. Blue Sky" in particular resonates). Truth be told, there's traces of Styx throughout Gerard's work, both solo and MCR (the "Come Sail Away" / "Welcome to the Black Parade" parallel being the most obvious).
This is the kind of song that you cry to with a smile. Like a happy-sad.
The little musical break at the end sounds like something from Legend of Zelda or Quest 64
my favourite song on Hesitant Alien. Im gonna buy his vinyl or cd soon BC I NEED THIS!!!!! this song makes me happy.
this is so beautiful and haunting i love it 💙💙💙💙
you guys are friendship goals tbh 💙💙
THIS SONG IS SO GOOD WHY DOES NO ONE KNOW IT
This gives me the courage to keep going, like hey, you can do it! Keep living! You’ll be happy and things will get better
Love this song. It's my favorite on the album, although I love them all. My next favorite is Television All The Time from the Japanese release.
This song is amazing.
Thank ye Emily! Been waiting for the lyric vids for ages!!!
This song is on a spiritual level fot me and im not sure why haha. Love it a lot!
So happy Gerard continued in music, I love this album and though I haven't explored the other MCR members careers I feel and hope they're doing great things too!
Maddy Limee idk about mikey but frank and ray have amazing solo albums
Mikey's band Electric Century is very cool.
I will never shut up about how underrated this is
honestly, best song on the album... it instills feelings of when I was a kid in me, somehow.
Either its just a coincidence and I'm going crazy or its there for a reason, but he mentioned smoke rings.Doesn't Frank Iero have a song called Smoke Rings???
Raven Lyric yeah Gerard's probably singing about frank in some of the lines
I love this one!!!
I like how some of his new songs have a "happy ending" feel to them like no shows and millions and especially this one. It's a nice change :)
and suddenly, yawning isnt the only thing thats making me cry
I love this song
this whole album just makes me so fucking happy :))
I have the erg to listen to this on repeat, and then it will get to the point that I will tear up. Happens to anyone I listen to on repeat xD
Omg\oh my Gerard I love this song
this song along with brother hits different when you're looking out the window while on a long car ride
This song makes me pretty goddamned happy.
*listens to the song*
Me: WELL ARE YOU READY RAY
*fakes a high voice* yEAH
How bout you Frank?
*drunk sound* Aw I'm there baby~
How bout you Moikey!?
*toaster* FUHKIN READY
this song makes me think of laying in a cold bed just thinking of life
This makes me so nostalgic that i just wanna trow up confetti
"i wouldn't lie i never really wanted more than what i needed after all, someone that hates to see me go" well you got it gee. many people who would hate to see you go.
I'm positive now that this is my favorite song that Gerard ever created. It sounds like such a battle cry. When it's a message of surrender, not necessarily giving up, but knowing that this is the end of a long fight.
We fought the world with hands twice-tied

I'll keep the souvenir inside
It's just better in my mind
And don't get me started on "we're just bored you're still alive"
I don't know why but this song made me cry.It felt like he was talking to me.
I just found a connection in Gerard saying "And you said we'd all be dead by twenty-five", and the fact the Bullets was realized in 2002, when Gee was 25
work of art
Is it just me or he talks about D&D, drugs and maybe how it was hard to be how he is now? btw... My eyes turn into tears with this song, amazing.
He looks so cute in that costume!
idk, this song puts me in a really good mood
This song make me emotional.. I dont know why
this song gives me a toner yes I just did and your welcome for satisfying the rest of your life with my poeticness
A toner
+rhe a toner
My daughter and I are going to see Gee in Tempe, I can't wait!
+Susan Hurst I flippin' love this song!
+Susan Hurst We saw Frank in Salt Lake and he was awesome and so nice and sweet to my daughter!
+Susan Hurst That synth is beautiful !!!!!!
+Susan Hurst Are you lonely?
No, I was just a little drunk and overshared a bit. But thanks for your concern!
I want to dance and cry uncontrolably at the same time

In the interview of Hesitant Alien, Gee said he wanted to boom on the guitar sound more xx
Listen to the isolated vocals from the black parade made by WilliamMcarty or something
thank you emily elizabeth xx
i like this song.
THAT FUCKIN' SYNTH SOLO THO...
"In paper armour" *cough* paper kingdom
It always makes me wonder; who said they would be dead by 25? It makes me sad as well. And happy that they (if I'm correct in that meaning) are all alive and well.

+Ivy Hayes but for what i've read , it will be music written by gee not singed by him :(

I love it

aww the pic
Okay but the start of this always reminds me of Star 67 by fob...
This song makes me feel like I am with my bestfren idk why but I love it
This is so depressing and I love it
the beginning kinda reminded me of cemetary drive
Eargasm
I'm crying
i never heard the lyrics to this song and i thought it was just a fun little diddy TwT
