honey, this heart isn't big enough for the love of mcr
Sometimes when you listen to too much MCR, you put certain songs away because you want it to hit the way it's supposed to.
Welcome to Black Parade is one that fans put away for a while. For me it was Helena - the first mcr song I ever heard. And I just listened to it loud in my car and it hit me so hard I cried it was cathartic, profound, like finding myself again like the first time I heard it as a kid.
Helena is so fucking good. The chicka chicka guitar effects in the beginning and the "can you hear me" part. The guitar part in the chorus is EVERYTHING it goes with the vocal like gd audible miracle. The music video in 2005 changed my life as well. There was NOTHING LIKE this going on at the time. They truly were the weird kids that didn't even fit in on MTV.
They changed the fucking world. They supported an entire generation of kids that were told they were too weird, too gay, unconventional, embarrassing and everything else our parents, teachers and peers said about us. I saw MCR when I was 11 in 2005 and I remember Gerard asking for middle fingers all night and I felt liberated, it made me confident to stick up for myself- my life was different because of that.
They will always underestimate what they did for us, but I just hope they know sometimes. They changed the course of people's lives, they pioneered genres, were musically experimental, they didn't care what others said about it. They drew on stuff they loved, they put out music that is impossible to replicate, and gave us SO much over the years not to mention YEARS on the road- they did not get to live like regular people but they came back and did it again. We are the luckiest fans on the planet.
please reblog or like this post if you believe MCR saved your life with their music. Gerard Way was inspired by 9/11 and I'm really wondering if the number of lives saved outweighs the number of victims.
i hope this band always knows that they saved so many lives and gave so many people reasons to live when they felt like there was nothing left for them to look forward to in their futures. i hope they know that they've created a home for the fucked up and the broken and the freaks that felt like they never fit in anywhere. and i hope they always know how much we appreciate them coming back. i hope they know how much they're loved. i miss those shows so fucking much.
He generally has the most beautiful smile I have seen on someone I love it. He is the reason I live, they are the reason why I'm trying to get out of my depression, I love this person so much. If it wasn't for Gerard I wouldn't been here. When they smile I just smile back it's just I love Gerard so much. He and his band saved my life thanks to Gerard.
