In 2023: My Chemical Romance performed their 63rd show of the 2022-2023 Swarm tour in Meeanjin (Brisbane), Australia. At this show, an unreleased song (titled "Eagles" on the paper setlist) was performed for the 7th time ever, with new lyrics. Gerard Way wore a dark grey skirt suit and white shirt, and "Everything Under Control" was written on the drums. (🖤)
There's always a slight yearning in the back of my mind wishing I had been born in the right place, time, family situation, income level, etc. to have just lived in one single house for my entire life. Imagine being born in a place that still suits you, even through all of your personal evolutions and etc. The idea of deep familiarity with an area because you've lived and explored it for 40+ years, being encased in a web of memories and connections. Being able to clean out your old childhood bedroom and find personal artifacts, to dig in the yard and remember. I know those lives can still be plenty imperfect, but there's just something so seemingly solid and stable and Grounding about it that I sometimes wish I could have.. (At least from my outside perspective as someone who's moved around a bit geographically and even within the same area, never lives in the same house/ apartment /etc. for more than a few years usually.) Like... having a place that is printed upon, fully your own, rather than chronically a visitor, every thought of a space always tempered with the notion that one day soon you'll have to pack it all up again, etc. There's something peaceful about the permanence.
As much as I hated that No Doubt didn't perform at all for nine years, if they tour again, I think they'll have a renewed energy that they wouldn't have had if they had been popping up every year or two to dust off their greatest hits.
That occasional urge to just quit your job, abandon your entire life for six months, and follow a literary character or historical figure’s journey across the country by the original roads they might have taken
my dash has been chaos today there's been a lot of upset and in the midst of it all there have been a few people i follow who have gotten tickets (and some feeling guilty about it because luck has been a factor) and i just want to say if you did get tickets i'm very happy for you! you deserve to be excited!! can't wait to experience all the videos you're able to share!!
