      This channel saved my life- literally- and this is why I invest so much time and emotion into it, to show you all my appreciation. I'd be dead without all of you, so everything I do is a love letter from ME to YOU ALL.

    Dear uncle,
    Cancer by My Chemical Romance always moved me to tears. But today, you moved me.
    We hope you're okay, and always take care of yourself, alright. Have a great day, everyday. We love you.

    Ray Toro, the lead guitarist of MCR, tweeted this video today and said, "This man brought me to tears. Please watch." So the cryfest has come full circle. :)
    Honestly, MCR has a lot of music that connect like this to people's lives. I'm glad they connected to yours, and that you were open to the connection. My best wishes to your wife above.

    So sorry for your loss, even years after you posted this. I can't not shed a tear when listening to this. Unfortunately we all have some way to relate to this song, but it is nice that a band can put music into that perspective.

      I always get goosebumps with this song. No matter what. And I usually get teary eyed, and sometimes cry. I just wasn’t aware that the mention of the song could make me so emotional, and a two second clip could bring tears.

    I thought the song was heart breaking enough but hearing what you said just broke my heart...I'm sorry for your loss. I enjoyed your video. It's just refreshing for me to hear an older person's sincere opinion on younger people's generation of music. For me MCR does the music and lyrics really heartfelt..
    I always lookup reaction videos of songs from random. And for the first am time I am subscribing. I am happy to see older people doing well and still fighting through the hardness of life. God Bless You.

    I'm sorry about your wife, but I can relate to the hurt. I actually avoided this song for the last 8 years, because that's when my father died, when I was 16, of cancer too, and it just was too much. Figured after a third of my life I'm over it, but I'm still sobbing like a child. But this video puts it in a slightly different light, giving me a glimpse from the other side, so thank you for that.

    • @williamroeben
      @williamroeben  8 років тому

    Sending you big hugs and a lot of light!! I know it's hard for those who stay in this world to not be able to see the physical presence of those who trascended, but if there's one thing you can be sure of, is that your wife, her being of light, trascended when it was the right time for her, once she finished what she came to this world to do, she graduated from this life, so I just hope one day it will stop hurting ^^

  • @ishajac3637
    @ishajac3637 8 років тому +11

    I'm wondering how long you've been a My Chem fan? Because I'm careening towards 50 y/o this year and only found MCR about a year ago. It's worth noting I was more than a little upset to find out they weren't even together anymore. ☆ Side note, that mysterious post MCR put out to announce the 10 year anniversary almost caused a coronary! NOT COOL Dudes! Not cool! I thought they were announcing a reunion :(
    Anyhoo, I feel out of place when all their other fans are so much younger than I. So I just wanted to tell you I'm thrilled to see you appreciate them as I have come to. Thank You! Please continue, and best of luck

    • @williamroeben
      @williamroeben  8 років тому +6

      Thank you so very much! I do appreciate your VERY kind words! Greatly appreciated! I've only come to appreciate MOST of the music I listen to JUST This Year! Since I started doing reactions :) So much stuff I have found I would NEVER have even dreamed existed :) It's WAY cool!

    • @ishajac3637
      @ishajac3637 8 років тому +3

      well thank you kindly for the response. I agree 1000% about it being easier to try new things through our ever evolving modes of communication. I'm digging it all but right now I am still the equivalent of Helen Keller learning to drive a car. For example I just opened this you tube account maybe a week ago. So in the interest of sharing my latest obsession with someone who might commiserate with me you should check out a band from Sweden called Ghost. Specifically their Meliora album. "Cirice" "He Is" Those r my favorites but I like many of the songs. I'm going to subscribe to your channel and keep a look out for those reactions specifically. Let me know if you think my cheese has slid off my cracker :)
      Peace Out!

      Actually, I have written fiction my whole life- I am working on a fiction podcast as we speak, where I read my short fiction :) I just don't have a ton of TIME right now- and that sucks. I REALLY have a ton of ideas still. I used to have a RAGING fire in my belly bout my writing! Then I became an active alcoholic for 23 years... the fire is almost out, I just have embers in my belly, but it does still burn... :)

    • @rainnrose9846

      As a fiction fan myself, all i can say is i hope to get to hear or read one of your writings one day, for i am sure they will be amazing. Could it also inspire me to get serious about my own writings. Please remember to share them whenever they might be ready. A fan here waiting! :D

    The song is literally about a man dying of cancer and, in his last moments, attempting to console those that he loves.
    By all logical standards, I think it's pretty okay to cry a bit.
