Mcr isnt dead. Dont listen to them for a few months then come back and bam. Its like brand new music. Mcr was never generic with their sound. They went with chords that were unique and timeless. Mcr still lives on, stronger now than ever.
I'm not saying the band is bad, but "They went with chords that were unique and timeless", absolute bullshit, barely any chords are "Unique and timeless" because 99.999% of artists use the same fucking chords, if anything the chords MCR use are less "Timeless and unique" because complicated chords sound crap on distorted guitars, therefore generally only power chords are used, which aren't unique at all.
fun fact: every single one of them suffered injuries in this video except for mikey . the worst injuries were bob’s and gerard’s. bob received a third degree burn on his leg and gerard tore up some ligaments in his ankle.
Fun fact: The music video and radio version of this song has a different ending than the album version. The album version ends in a choir symbolizing the patient went to heaven while the music video and radio version ends in the electric guitar symbolizing that he went to hell. I love it when artists do cool stuff like this. It’s such a small touch but adds so much more
아 그런거였어요??!!!!?!?!?!?!? 이 곡을 계속 들으면서 그 이유를 찾고 싶어서 계속 찾아다녔는데...그럼 "I am not afrad to keep on living ... nothing you can say can stop me going home"과 "Cause i see you lying nexy to me...asleep or dead!!"를 앨범에서는 2번반복하는데 뮤직비디오에선 왜 1번하는지 아나요?
Gerard way did say he wanted to keep this song open ended so the listeners could make their own assumption of whether or not the patient survived or died
"I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone" as a 16 yo teen who has been through self-hurting and depression, this music video really gives me courage than anyone else in my life did. Life might be hard, but at lease we have mcr. 🖤
Vc não está só, sou uma adolescente de 33 anos hj e amo my chamical e a melancolia tenha isso como parte de vc é bom saber que nem todos são felizes a vida não é um mar de rosas mas é admirável e uma delícia de se viver mesmo sozinho quando se é adulto vc compreende mais isso e se fortalece.
@@dalinesilva8041 Thanks a lot. I was struggle in mental issues six years ago, family accident ect...It was so hard to get through all of these. And about four years ago i found rnr, then mcr, it feels so great to know that someone has the same experience as mine. Since then, although the problems still make me struggle, but anything have been different with that power given by music .And now, to be honest , i'll thank destiny for giving me this experience. And i admire you, i hope i'll become a good human like you.
"Drummer Bob Bryar sustained second and third degree burns on the back of his legs while shooting the video, yet persisted in staying until the recording was finished. This burn later resulted in gangrene. Way tore muscles in his leg and foot when Frank Iero tackled him while he was in a kneeling position, leaving him in a hospital for several days. Way recalls that, during the filming, they were all "mortified" from the engulfing flames surrounding the set. After the stay in the hospital, the doctors refused to let them perform in San Diego as the band originally planned. Ray Toro fractured his fingers also during shooting and Bob Bryar received multiple blisters around his hand as a result of extreme playing over a long period of time. "
"I am not afraid to keep on living" Wrote that on my whiteboard with a permanent marker. I look at it every single morning and it reminds me that I am strong enough to get up and keep going.
This comment wins everything for me. Brought tears to my eyes! I hope you get everything you want, need and deserve!! Jesus. Thank you for pushing through and pursuing, even when it seems hard and scary. You ARE strong enough!!
I keep thinking about that, and the reoccurring theme of 'continuing to live' in a time and genre that was almost the epitome of depression and death, gerard way was writing and creating impeccable music challenging listeners to just keep going. Amazing
Not many people talk about that. I really think this album, from start to finish, is absolutely incredible. Wonderful story telling… it was ahead of its time. Hopefully as time passes, more people will acknowledge this
I love how they all look at the end, just look at them. They're fucking exhausted, breathing heavy, laying on the ground because of the sheer emotion they play with. God my eyes are sweating
dude bob suffered 3rd degree burns and frank probably beat the rest of them up on accident, just in this one video. they're the definition of dedication and passion.
I'm 65, back in the day you had to wait for it to play on the radio or go buy the album.....now we just go to TH-cam !! Makes being a music fan so much easier.
Can I just say that the line "I'm not afraid to keep on living. I am not afraid to walk this world alone" has really made me feel like I belong on this earth even though I sometimes felt like I didn't. Thanks MCR🖤
Don't know if your gonna read this but I lost my mom to on feb 9th to covid I just want you to know I understand your pain and I bawl while listening to this to just had her funeral 3 days ago and this song popped up on my recommended after a long time
Im a 15 year old learning about such bands as mcr, I honestly can't believe what I've missed. I can only enjoy this now and pass it on to different generations.
I'm 12 and half, and same. I wish I was born in the 90's in USA to grow up with them, but no. What's great about it, it's that we didn't knew the pain of when they broke up, but I feel like March 22nd is always going to hurt
Same. I was in college and girls my age doesn't listen to this type of music. I know I was different, and I dont really care how others will look at me, I never hurt anybody anyway.
Here because western cultures seems dead. Music sucks and they keep remaking old movies. At first i thought it was just nostalgia. But it isn't. Times were better then. No doubt
I swear this song aged like fine wine. It's grown with me and always provided comfort in my darkest times. MCRs music has saved my life countless times throughout the years.
The fact that Bob Bryar literally suffered third degree burns during the filming of this music video made me respect him and the band a million times more now.
This song broke me. In June 2021, I lost my closest friend to a sudden heart failure. For two months I remained stoic, lost in shock from the loss and not sure how to process it. And then one night on the way home, this song came up on my music app and I listened to it on a whim. When that bridge hit, I....damn. Even thinking of it now tears me up. It was like they were in the car, singing along with me as we used to, and they'd finally turned to me and said it was time for them to go. I had to pull into a parking lot and I, a 30 year old man, just bawled for what seemed like hours. Rest in peace, Nick. Always and forever my dearest friend.
My grandmother passed to heart failure unexpectedly durring lockdowns. I was going through a lot. I put on Start Chopping by Dinosaur Jr. and had a similar experience to yours. That riff will hit me hard forever.
Sorry for your loss. I saw them 6 days ago for the first time. Love everything they have done. This is my favourite and I had tears in my eyes too. Stay strong.
I cannot overstate the sheer power of this song. In a whole album about death, about coming to grips with one's own mortality, this song that's titled "famous last words," with its chorus starting with the words "I am not afraid..." you would thing it's a line like "I am not afraid of dying," right? NO! He says "I am not afraid to keep on living!" And that, I think, is just such a more powerful message.
especially given that most of us are afraid of that. Death is charming. Its easy. Life is fucking hard, right now im struggling with trying to grasp wanting to live again, ive been through a lot and im fine now, but given being fine, means i can life live again and im so fucking afraid of that. But what this song speaks to is the courage of keep going, to not be afraid od living again
When I first heard this song on TV, I was still a teenager trying to navigate through adolescence. This song gave me strength and courage to grow into my own person during high school years. Now I'm 33, and I just lost my mom to cancer last month, hearing this song again has given it a completely new meaning, as if this is what mom wants me to hear. "I'm not afraid to keep on living, I'm not afraid to walk this world alone." Mom, you've always told me to be strong, now I finally know what you mean, and I shall try as hard as I can 🙏
"Emo" isn't a phase, it carries on. MCR is classified as "emo." Ideas can die, but be carried on. Ideas can change people's lives. MCR was an idea. It changed people's lives. There isn't an emo phase. It is never just a phase. It carries on..
Since the reunion, every time I hear this song I remember looking up at the stars and screaming these words out to the universe at the top of my lungs with thirty-thousand other broken, beaten and damned souls.
The first My Chemical Romance song ever written, recorded, and published was Skylines and Turnstiles. The first lyrics to the song were ‘You're not in this alone.’ The last My Chemical Romance song ever written, recorded, and published was called Mastas of Ravenkroft. The last lyrics to the song were ‘I'm so fucking alone!’ You're very welcome.
If ever there was a song that embodied the spirit and sound of "hopeful, melancholic desperation with a fortitude that can't be crushed, even as it's being crushed"....this is it. Definitely the song I'll be walking out of my current company to when I get the degree I've been plugging away on for so long.
You might not be pretty, or talented, you might not have the best grades (or even great ones), you might be socially dead or anxious or awkward, but you're still worth love. You're still worth it. No matter who you are, you are worth love.
i’m 14 and only recently started listening to MCR and this is some of the best music i’ve ever listened to and i guess i started listening to them at a pretty good time
Cham I’m glad you’re liking it, this band played a huge role in my life during high school (2007-2010) It’s your turn to carry the flame but don’t be a fuckhead about it.
Honestly, to me, at least, The Black Parade has to be one of the most flawless albums ever made. Every song is a banger, no skippable tracks. A rare thing. As good now as the day it dropped.
Totally agree. Its been my favorite album since the day it came out. I try to listen to it at least once a week. I simply don't see anyway that any other album will be better than The Black Parade to me.
It’s one of the few albums I regularly go back to. It’s a great listen from start to finish, the vocals and melodies are amazing and catchy, guitars are heavy and memorable. I’m into a lot of genres but The Black Parade is just perfect.
@@BrandonChaunceyOfficial well it's different, it's a film. This one isn't a film that you can just edit and make it look like you shoot it yesterday. Look at Get Back, it's from 1969 but it looks like it's from 2021 because it was shot in film
@@tutortle1820 That's because 35 mm is the analog equivalent of digital HD. So converting a film shot in 35 mm to modern digital HD is a relatively easy task. I'm not sure how this was filmed, so I don't know how difficult this would be to modernize and remaster.
I fell in love with this band around the time this album came out in 2006. I was 12 then. I am now 30 years old and after my brother's suicide, this album, especially this song makes so much personal sense to me now. MCR is timeless
After a really rough Break up with my partner, hearing Gerard say: "I'm not afraid to keep on living I'm not afraid to walk this world alone" Forever my favorite band
You know it's weird , most people listen to MCR and get sad and cry but I listen to MCR and forget all of my problems and get happy , whilst blowing my eardrums out :)
Welcome to the m.c.army, enjoy your stay, the muffins and coffee are on the left. While you are reading this you should check out the mini-album called "conventional weapons" :)
Me too! My fren told me it going to be a bumpy ride so,,, here I am lol This used to be my sister's favourite band when she was my age. This and teenagers and house of wolves and blood are really good songs! I suggest you listen to those! Make sure to.put clean if you can't listen to cussing tho lol
When you guys miss MCR, remember: The Black Parade was supposed to be the end Goodnight doesnt mean goodbye They're wishing us well Gerard expects our smiles, he expects we won't cry. No matter what, there will always be killjoys We have EMO COMIC BOOKS We have the guts to say we still love them! Even though things would be better if they stayed, we must carry on this way We will probably force our children to listen to MCR because we are Fabulous Killjoys Though they're dead and gone believe me, their memory will carry on.
I love how strong they seem in the black parade and in this their appearance they're so worn down and just letting their emotions out widely and it's beautiful
Maddy Limee It's mainly because they did both videos in one day- Black Parade first, then this, so they were legitamately tired... I spend way too much time watching behind the scenes videos lol
I screamed along to this song and found comfort back then when I was still a teenager. 37 years old me still comes back to it every so often, oh them feels 😂 and can we PLEASE appreciate the lyrical brilliance this whole album blessed us with? Thank you so much MCR, you provided so many 'weird' kids around the globe a place they could feel safe and understood. ❤ love from Japan!
i wasnt even alive for any of their albums (not counting conventional weapons, i was born a month after danger days released) and their music changed my life. it still has such a big impact on people
I remember when the dailymail called MCR a suicide cult but in retrospect, there is so much positivity in their music. Compare this to the vapid glorification of Xanax, drugs and suicide in certain hip hop subgenres at the moment, and it's apparent. There was a period around 2006 - 2007 when MCR was one of the most hated bands in the mainstream, but really they were just victims of their own success. I think history is going to be much kinder to them than the present was, their music is truly iconic.
That’s dumb because TØP have touched on suicide a lot more than MCR. Dailymail don’t know didiley squat lol, suicide cult? Get outta here. God how times have changed!
This album is a masterpiece, one of the most creative yet touching depictions of terminal illness in modern media. You really feel what the patient is going through as you listen, the agonizing despair of watching all your hopes and dreams die with you, and having no idea what will happen next, or if anything ever does. It’s a shame it has a reputation of solely being the “goth emo kid album,” which unfortunately turns a lot of people away from it.
I love that you can see they are portraying exhaustion. IIRC, they filmed this right after "Welcome to the Black Parade" and that exhaustion is so apparent. I think it was smart to call it "Famous Last Words" and place it at the end of the album. It really works well like that.
I'm really mad because I had tickets and then they had to cancel and they never rescheduled any Australian shows so god knows how long I'm gonna have to wait now, I never got to see them before because I was too young
@gracie I know, in a way I'm glad they broke up because now Bandit can have her father, and Gerard didnt go back to being an alcoholic. I hate how some people dont realize how they are humans who need to focus on their own lives. Besides, they've changed. I dont want them to get back together necessarily because people have this expectation for their music that they probably cant get to because of how they've changed over the years. I still love their solo music, the song that Frnk released yesterday is amazing. And I'm so proud of what Gerard has done too, the umbrella academy is fantastic and he has so many comics now too. We all knew that MCR wasnt going to last forever, so we should respect their wishes
Because of this song I'm alive…this song motivated me to keep going no matter what. I learned to stop caring about if others care about me and learned to go through this world alone because in the end that's all you have. The only reason we get hurt is because we let other people to it to us but if you're alone no one can hurt you and you don't suffer. Yes friends are nice but we shouldn't get too dependent because people leave and if you give too much they'll take too much away from you. Don't be afraid to walk this world alone!
haiimonobear exactly but even when you get hurt you will heal over time, just don't stay with the people that don't care about you getting hurt cause that will never work out, Stay with the people that try their best to say sorry stay with the people that although you get hurt you only remember the good times.
TheIndieGamesNL Exactly…I said that friends are nice but we shouldn't get too dependent on them but still care about them. It's the whole thing with putting yourself first and make sure you're okay before making sure that others are okay. Surround yourself with as much positivity as possible and talk it out and don't be afraid to cut out toxic people even if it means that you're gonna end up alone…you learned something out of it and can use that when meeting new people and making new friends.
it's currently 20 minutes past midnight on my 20th birthday and this is the first song I'm listening to because I didn't think I'd live to see this day come. I found this band and this song at a time in my life when it felt like the whole world was against me and that it was impossible to go on. I'm still here now, and I fucking lived to tell the tale. there's nothing that'll ring more true to me today than famous last words. I am not afraid to keep on living. awake and unafraid. nothing you could say could stop me going on.
This song saved me RIP My Chemical Romance Cuz of MCR, I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone. Your memory will carry on.
Shelby Shofner at 3:52 you can actually see Bob look down at his leg but keep playing. His entire leg is on fire and he's essentially playing through it. I read that three seconds or so after they cut filming he ran off set and needed medical attention for third degree burns. They were apparently supposed to make his back fireproof but they were in a hurry and forgot to apply the substance that would have protected him.
i know it's sad, and i know it's difficult, but we want what's best for them, right? well, that's what the band did. we'll miss my chemical romance, but we'd hate to see them unhappy in what they were doing.
Hearing this last night at WWWY was truly emotional for me. This song has saved my life more than once and getting to see MCR perform this entire album front to back to conclude with this was something I will never forget
i timed this perfectly so the chorus would play right when the ball dropped on New Year's day If you play this at 11:58:47 on New Year's eve, it is timed perfectly ik it started off as a meme, but it definitely hits different at the start of a new year and even a new decade. Thank you, MCR, for helping me make it this far. To 2020.
My newest favorite line of all time “I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone” I was scared to face things alone but this song completely just whams me In the chest. MCRX🖤
It was a concept album and the entire album talked about death but the last song is Famous Last Words because they wanted everyone's take away to be that last line. While you might think about suicide you gotta keep on living and to not be afraid to walk this world alone. People thought they were glorifying death but really, for the people with depression they were able to put into words what they were feeling. At the end of the day it's an anti-suicide album. To get those suicidal thoughts released in a positive way and to keep going, keep fighting.
when j was 16, my brother died. it was in 2007. a lot of my memory is flawed from the time, but I remember I stopped bumming rides from my friends and started walking home every day. I remember I hated being home because it was like the funeral came home with us, and it stayed like that for many years. so I would take the long way home and walk as slowly as humanly possible. I always had my headphones in. I had always been a little stoic, but after my brother died, the guy who defended me through thick and thin, its like I replaced my skin with stone and any time someone tried to walk with me or talk to me from school, I lashed out at them. I lost almost all my friends that year. I had lost my boyfriend the week before my brother died. I lost my brother. my family (understand that the death of my brother changed my family. nothing has been the same since.) my friends. I was already depressed and had anxiety, so it didn't take much to push me past my breaking point. I remember wanting to die so badly my whole body hurt. I remember struggling against myself, knowing that if I did, i would be the breaking point for what was left of my family. regardless, I tried.. and it was a failure of epic proportions. but from that day on, I heard some songs with new ears. instead of hearing my own despair echoed back to me, I heard hope. this was one of them. if you have read my story.. if it resonates with you, if you are in a dark place and all you hear is your despair echoed back at you, I hope that you know that your life matters. I hope you know that life DOES get better. you aren't alone. and I hope you hear the sound of hope. I hope you feel better soon.
I'm so sorry about your brother. I lost my wife 2 years ago and I know what it's like to have your world shaken up. As much as it sucks that Melinda was only 47, at least she had a shot at life. It pains me when I hear of people dying at such a young age. I lost my oldest brother when he was 39. We weren't super close, but it was still a punch in the gut when I heard the news, so I have some idea of how you felt, although it brought our family together, so I'm sorry that you felt so alone. I totally agree about hearing songs with new ears. There are songs that I've loved that hold new meanings for me now. I recently started writing a blog to help me sort through my feelings and my last entry actually breaks down what the lyrics of Famous Last Words means to me now. I was watching the video again and decided to read through the comments when I saw your post. Music can be so powerful. Thanks for sharing your story. None of us are truly alone.
I'm in tears. I was about to attempt suicide multiple times this week but my parents came home right before I started each time, and now I'm second guessing myself. I really needed to read that to understand what I could do to my siblings.
Things that seem like life or death back then, now.. theyre just decisions we made. With the tools and resources we had at the time. I genuinely regret the way I treated people back then. But theres nothing they can say that will stop me from coming home.
I’m a 70 year old female Brit who discovered MCR 10 years ago. I was randomly scrolling through TH-cam and my life was enriched. Visually as the videos were marvellous, but my god that young guy’s vocals! His beautiful face too. The energy they put into performing was amazing, giving their all. Sadly the comeback did not materialise but perhaps just as well. I’ve lived long enough to have had many cherished memories tarnished. I still have that superlative album. Much more credit and esteem should have been bestowed upon them. I enjoy the ‘comics’ too.
"i am not afraid to keep on living" that lyric means a lot to me. i'm almost a year clean from self harm and my mental health isn't as bad as it was a while ago. i'm a new fan and even though they broke up years ago, mcr has helped me through a lot. thank you :)
You're on a very good path, and I may be a stranger over the internet, but as someone who went through the same, let me tell you, maybe it doesn't seem like it now, but I can assure you things DO get better, and you just did the first step, keep going, you're stronger than you think! c: Ps: if there are any typos, I blame my non-native-english talker mind
I love MCR, always have. But in my opinion it was good they pulled the plug when they did, better to quit when you're on top than to see you becoming an old washed up rockstar with music that stays in the shadows of your younger self. Who knows, maybe they'll get back together someday and put out a masterpiece one more time for us.
Lyrics Now I know that I can't make you stay But where's your heart? But where's your heart? But where's your- And I know there's nothing I can say To change that part To change that part To change... So many bright lights, they cast a shadow, but can I speak? Well, is it hard understanding, I'm incomplete? A life that's so demanding I get so weak A love that's so demanding I can't speak I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven Nothing you can say can stop me going home Can you see my eyes are shining bright? 'Cause I'm out here on the other side Of a jet black hotel mirror and I'm so weak Is it hard understanding, I'm incomplete? A love that's so demanding I get weak I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven Nothing you can say can stop me going home I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven Nothing you can say can stop me going home These bright lights have always blinded me These bright lights have always blinded me, I say I see you lying next to me With words I thought I'd never speak Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead 'Cause I see you lying next to me With words I thought I'd never speak Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead 'Cause I see you lying next to me With words I thought I'd never speak Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead 'Cause I see you lying next to me With words I thought I'd never speak Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone (or dead) Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven Nothing you can say can stop me going home (or dead) I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone (or dead) Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven Nothing you can say can stop me going home (or dead) I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone (or dead) Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven Nothing you can say can stop me going home
I really wish I had been a teenager when these songs came out so I wouldn't have to watch them now at 15 knowing I will never be able to see them in concert and that they're broken up.

Mcr isnt dead. Dont listen to them for a few months then come back and bam. Its like brand new music. Mcr was never generic with their sound. They went with chords that were unique and timeless. Mcr still lives on, stronger now than ever.
most of the songs blend together for me
I like your way of thinking
My teenage sons recently started listening to them😍
I'm not saying the band is bad, but "They went with chords that were unique and timeless", absolute bullshit, barely any chords are "Unique and timeless" because 99.999% of artists use the same fucking chords, if anything the chords MCR use are less "Timeless and unique" because complicated chords sound crap on distorted guitars, therefore generally only power chords are used, which aren't unique at all.
I don’t think I can go without listening to mcr for more than 2 hours at a time lol
fun fact: every single one of them suffered injuries in this video except for mikey . the worst injuries were bob’s and gerard’s. bob received a third degree burn on his leg and gerard tore up some ligaments in his ankle.
it twas fronk !
Damn
mikey was the only one who didn't get an injury, actually
Didn't Frank jump on Gerard
Mikey never gets injuries tbh
Fun fact: The music video and radio version of this song has a different ending than the album version. The album version ends in a choir symbolizing the patient went to heaven while the music video and radio version ends in the electric guitar symbolizing that he went to hell. I love it when artists do cool stuff like this. It’s such a small touch but adds so much more
holy shit, makes sense! it's like there are two ways.
I just saw that wendigo video also I never heard the music video version so I had to see the difference
아 그런거였어요??!!!!?!?!?!?!? 이 곡을 계속 들으면서 그 이유를 찾고 싶어서 계속 찾아다녔는데...그럼 "I am not afrad to keep on living ... nothing you can say can stop me going home"과 "Cause i see you lying nexy to me...asleep or dead!!"를 앨범에서는 2번반복하는데 뮤직비디오에선 왜 1번하는지 아나요?
This video version sure looks a lot like hell, so, yeah.
Gerard way did say he wanted to keep this song open ended so the listeners could make their own assumption of whether or not the patient survived or died
"I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone" as a 16 yo teen who has been through self-hurting and depression, this music video really gives me courage than anyone else in my life did. Life might be hard, but at lease we have mcr. 🖤

Listen to some Rush songs. I started here 20 years ago
@@dalinesilva8041 Thanks a lot. I was struggle in mental issues six years ago, family accident ect...It was so hard to get through all of these. And about four years ago i found rnr, then mcr, it feels so great to know that someone has the same experience as mine. Since then, although the problems still make me struggle, but anything have been different with that power given by music .And now, to be honest , i'll thank destiny for giving me this experience. And i admire you, i hope i'll become a good human like you.

The power of a line saying "I'm not afraid of keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone". I love this band more and more as time pass
I keep thinking about that, and the reoccurring theme of 'continuing to live' in a time and genre that was almost the epitome of depression and death, gerard way was writing and creating impeccable music challenging listeners to just keep going. Amazing
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave Acoustic” by SLT 🤘🎸🤘
49 yr old blk man loving these legends.
Porra meu ...essa banda me representa
That line helped keep me alive
This album is a genuine masterpiece
Not many people talk about that. I really think this album, from start to finish, is absolutely incredible. Wonderful story telling… it was ahead of its time. Hopefully as time passes, more people will acknowledge this
I agree
Fr
totally
Yes 😊
I love how they all look at the end, just look at them. They're fucking exhausted, breathing heavy, laying on the ground because of the sheer emotion they play with. God my eyes are sweating
Every band member was injured at least one time during the making of this video lol
dude bob suffered 3rd degree burns and frank probably beat the rest of them up on accident, just in this one video. they're the definition of dedication and passion.

Don't forget I Brought You My bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, that was easily MCR's heaviest and arguably best album.
Spitting facts.
They're legendary and theyre exceptional
"I'm not afraid to keep on livin, I am not afraid to walk this world alone" is the most incredible and strong lyrics I've ever heard.

Yup.

haven’t been able to listen to my chem since my mom died.... today’s the day i finally could listen without bawling
i’m so proud 🥺🥺🥺 i hope you’re ok

I'm so sorry about your mom,I'm sure she was a amazing woman,her memory will carry on❤️
Don't know if your gonna read this but I lost my mom to on feb 9th to covid I just want you to know I understand your pain and I bawl while listening to this to just had her funeral 3 days ago and this song popped up on my recommended after a long time
I’m proud of you
Im a 15 year old learning about such bands as mcr, I honestly can't believe what I've missed. I can only enjoy this now and pass it on to different generations.
same!!
You’ve been missing out
I'm 14 and same
I'm 12 and half, and same. I wish I was born in the 90's in USA to grow up with them, but no.
What's great about it, it's that we didn't knew the pain of when they broke up, but I feel like March 22nd is always going to hurt
its okay bro you are not alone
This songs brings so many memories back. It'll always be one of my favorites of all time.
It will always be my favorite song. I just know. I'm so fxcking thankful that I got to hear it live! It was incredible
My Chem may have broken up, but their spirit will live on. Inside us. And there's still hope for them...and I believe in it more than anything.
Emily Keane 'we'll carry on.'
Emily Keane its not goodbye its see you later thats how i think of it if i didnt i would just collapse
Yeass ur right this is my favotouite song
If i die without going to their concert at least once, I will haunt every single member of mcr (even the old ones)
Listening to mcr and especially singing along feels like such a release, like a huge weight off my chest
100% true
ikr, it's the best stress reliever to belt them at the top of my lungs
MCR famous last word is my #1 favorite rock song :)
@@alsharifbinedi3107 Same!
Facts
I was 16 in 2006 when I first discovered MCR. I'm now 31 and not a year has passed without me listening to them. It was truly never a phase 😂
Never has been
I just discovered MCR lol
Same. I was in college and girls my age doesn't listen to this type of music. I know I was different, and I dont really care how others will look at me, I never hurt anybody anyway.
Fresh 32 and I was crushed that COVID canceled the reunion. Also happy to see new emo artist come out
Same way with AFI. I got more into MCR later cuz I was more hardcore and AFI only, when I was younger. But man do love this more now. Endless love yo
Who is here..... Not because of reunion but BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEST
Here because western cultures seems dead. Music sucks and they keep remaking old movies.
At first i thought it was just nostalgia. But it isn't. Times were better then. No doubt
Theres a reunion?
Tom White yeahh they already did the reunion cıncert
@@Roadrun98 yes already done the concert they will go on a uk one and in june they might be dropping a new album
Me
I swear this song aged like fine wine. It's grown with me and always provided comfort in my darkest times. MCRs music has saved my life countless times throughout the years.
This video deserves more than only 240p
actually I think the distortion caused by 240p is very valuable here.
I bet it was an artistic choice
This would be great in 1080p
This was posted in 2007, it's understandable lol.
They’re still cool anyways
it was twelve years ago😂 this as good as you're gonna get

The fact that Bob Bryar literally suffered third degree burns during the filming of this music video made me respect him and the band a million times more now.
Is that the reason he left the band?
OrangeCrush Fizzy nah man he was kicked out
@@lemonzestu i believe he punched Mikey and Gee went 'eat shit, Bob.'

I rather think it makes you realize they kinda didn't know what they were doing.
This song broke me.
In June 2021, I lost my closest friend to a sudden heart failure. For two months I remained stoic, lost in shock from the loss and not sure how to process it. And then one night on the way home, this song came up on my music app and I listened to it on a whim. When that bridge hit, I....damn. Even thinking of it now tears me up. It was like they were in the car, singing along with me as we used to, and they'd finally turned to me and said it was time for them to go. I had to pull into a parking lot and I, a 30 year old man, just bawled for what seemed like hours.
Rest in peace, Nick. Always and forever my dearest friend.
Rip
My grandmother passed to heart failure unexpectedly durring lockdowns. I was going through a lot. I put on Start Chopping by Dinosaur Jr. and had a similar experience to yours. That riff will hit me hard forever.
Sorry for your loss. I saw them 6 days ago for the first time. Love everything they have done. This is my favourite and I had tears in my eyes too. Stay strong.
Rest In Peace Nick
Music is a powerful thing my man ! all the best to you and may your friend rest in power
I cannot overstate the sheer power of this song. In a whole album about death, about coming to grips with one's own mortality, this song that's titled "famous last words," with its chorus starting with the words "I am not afraid..." you would thing it's a line like "I am not afraid of dying," right? NO! He says "I am not afraid to keep on living!" And that, I think, is just such a more powerful message.
BRO I FEEL U
Dying is easy, living is harder
Ugh! Couldn't explain it any better!
"If this music ever ends, you will find a way to carry on."
You're reading the lyric right.
especially given that most of us are afraid of that. Death is charming. Its easy. Life is fucking hard, right now im struggling with trying to grasp wanting to live again, ive been through a lot and im fine now, but given being fine, means i can life live again and im so fucking afraid of that. But what this song speaks to is the courage of keep going, to not be afraid od living again
When I first heard this song on TV, I was still a teenager trying to navigate through adolescence. This song gave me strength and courage to grow into my own person during high school years. Now I'm 33, and I just lost my mom to cancer last month, hearing this song again has given it a completely new meaning, as if this is what mom wants me to hear. "I'm not afraid to keep on living, I'm not afraid to walk this world alone." Mom, you've always told me to be strong, now I finally know what you mean, and I shall try as hard as I can 🙏
"Emo" isn't a phase, it carries on.
MCR is classified as "emo."
Ideas can die, but be carried on.
Ideas can change people's lives.
MCR was an idea. It changed people's lives. There isn't an emo phase. It is never just a phase. It carries on..
Mcr aren't emo. They themselves have confirmed it. They're a rock band.
IT'S NOT JUST A PHASE MOM!
But seriously, I feel this in my old emo soul.
well, its based on peoples opinion tho. But I respect there genre
btw, why isnt this the top comment?
even though their dead their MEMORY WILL CARRY ON
I wonder if all the people watching this years ago would ever have imagined them having a reunion? I'm actually hella emotional about it, wow.
We imagined, but we never thought it would actually happen.
My hobby listening to MCR while doing homework and getting absolutely no work done
Same way that's why it takes me hours to get done
I like to think it helps me focus but we all know that’s not true
ROMAN ALANIZ hope u get it done x
th-cam.com/video/cxuYKH0TJ0I/w-d-xo.html
U gotta hear this track:)
You read my mind
Since the reunion, every time I hear this song I remember looking up at the stars and screaming these words out to the universe at the top of my lungs with thirty-thousand other broken, beaten and damned souls.
So how much fire do you want?
Gerard: yes
The first My Chemical Romance song ever written, recorded, and published was Skylines and Turnstiles.
The first lyrics to the song were ‘You're not in this alone.’
The last My Chemical Romance song ever written, recorded, and published was called Mastas of Ravenkroft.
The last lyrics to the song were ‘I'm so fucking alone!’
You're very welcome.

November 2024 anyone?
Here bro 2024
Enjoy

Here 🤘🤘🤘
We're here!
Honestly, to me, at least, The Black Parade has to be one of the most flawless albums ever made. Every song is a banger, no skippable tracks. A rare thing. As good now as the day it dropped.
Totally agree. Its been my favorite album since the day it came out. I try to listen to it at least once a week. I simply don't see anyway that any other album will be better than The Black Parade to me.
It’s one of the few albums I regularly go back to. It’s a great listen from start to finish, the vocals and melodies are amazing and catchy, guitars are heavy and memorable. I’m into a lot of genres but The Black Parade is just perfect.
Yes, but I would also go with records like Hybrid Theory or American Idiot and more
I agree 💯
@@karetnikow9163 Totally agree with those two, to top of The Black Parade.
I dream of the day that the black parade videos are remastered in 4K. Seeing all that staging with decent quality must be the glory.
:))
Even the beatles were remastered in 4k like 6 years ago. You should check out strawberry fields, it looks like an impersonation from 2015 it's so good
@@BrandonChaunceyOfficial well it's different, it's a film. This one isn't a film that you can just edit and make it look like you shoot it yesterday. Look at Get Back, it's from 1969 but it looks like it's from 2021 because it was shot in film
@@tutortle1820 That's because 35 mm is the analog equivalent of digital HD. So converting a film shot in 35 mm to modern digital HD is a relatively easy task.
I'm not sure how this was filmed, so I don't know how difficult this would be to modernize and remaster.
Literally just said this when it came up haha p

I fell in love with this band around the time this album came out in 2006. I was 12 then.
I am now 30 years old and after my brother's suicide, this album, especially this song makes so much personal sense to me now.
MCR is timeless
Just love the way he says "But where's your heart?"

No matter what, there will always be killjoys
We have EMO COMIC BOOKS
We have the guts to say we still love them!

We will probably force our children to listen to MCR because we are Fabulous Killjoys
Though they're dead and gone believe me, their memory will carry on.
I wish they would come back its so hard without them . I'll stop bitching now. Sorry

MEEEEEE
Seriously though man
This band saved my life ❤. Now 20 years later I lost everything and they are here again to resurrect the fire in my soul to keep fighting.
I remember when the dailymail called MCR a suicide cult but in retrospect, there is so much positivity in their music. Compare this to the vapid glorification of Xanax, drugs and suicide in certain hip hop subgenres at the moment, and it's apparent. There was a period around 2006 - 2007 when MCR was one of the most hated bands in the mainstream, but really they were just victims of their own success. I think history is going to be much kinder to them than the present was, their music is truly iconic.
B I think it was because of that stupid emo label
That’s dumb because TØP have touched on suicide a lot more than MCR. Dailymail don’t know didiley squat lol, suicide cult? Get outta here.
God how times have changed!
People spout stupid shit without even listening first. Hasn't changed at all, unfortunately.
Daily Mail is a fucking suicide cult.
So what have you been, MCR? Asleep? or Dead?

They're dead af
+Handy Joli MCR never die. Always in our hearts and playing in our ears c;
I HOPE ASLEEP BC IF NOT IM GONNA STAB SOMEONE
This album is a masterpiece, one of the most creative yet touching depictions of terminal illness in modern media. You really feel what the patient is going through as you listen, the agonizing despair of watching all your hopes and dreams die with you, and having no idea what will happen next, or if anything ever does. It’s a shame it has a reputation of solely being the “goth emo kid album,” which unfortunately turns a lot of people away from it.
Yeah I think I saw that on Wendigoon's channel about how this album has a story
i saw this guys profile and had to do a double take
Their loss. Fuck em
Hi I recommend an Indie song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' by Robert Nix
Holy shit its the dog from raditude
I love that you can see they are portraying exhaustion. IIRC, they filmed this right after "Welcome to the Black Parade" and that exhaustion is so apparent. I think it was smart to call it "Famous Last Words" and place it at the end of the album. It really works well like that.
I'm watching this during Covid and I just remembered I have tickets to see these guys. I'm 26 and I feel like I'm 13 again. I love MCR.
I was 26 when it came out I'm 39 now and never stopped listening to MCR !

@gracie I know, in a way I'm glad they broke up because now Bandit can have her father, and Gerard didnt go back to being an alcoholic. I hate how some people dont realize how they are humans who need to focus on their own lives. Besides, they've changed. I dont want them to get back together necessarily because people have this expectation for their music that they probably cant get to because of how they've changed over the years. I still love their solo music, the song that Frnk released yesterday is amazing. And I'm so proud of what Gerard has done too, the umbrella academy is fantastic and he has so many comics now too. We all knew that MCR wasnt going to last forever, so we should respect their wishes

Because of this song I'm alive…this song motivated me to keep going no matter what. I learned to stop caring about if others care about me and learned to go through this world alone because in the end that's all you have. The only reason we get hurt is because we let other people to it to us but if you're alone no one can hurt you and you don't suffer. Yes friends are nice but we shouldn't get too dependent because people leave and if you give too much they'll take too much away from you. Don't be afraid to walk this world alone!
A life without friends, seems sad yes they can hurt you and they might but thats the risk you take in life.
and the hardest part is deciding whether or not to take that risk
haiimonobear exactly but even when you get hurt you will heal over time, just don't stay with the people that don't care about you getting hurt cause that will never work out, Stay with the people that try their best to say sorry stay with the people that although you get hurt you only remember the good times.
TheIndieGamesNL Exactly…I said that friends are nice but we shouldn't get too dependent on them but still care about them. It's the whole thing with putting yourself first and make sure you're okay before making sure that others are okay. Surround yourself with as much positivity as possible and talk it out and don't be afraid to cut out toxic people even if it means that you're gonna end up alone…you learned something out of it and can use that when meeting new people and making new friends.
it's currently 20 minutes past midnight on my 20th birthday and this is the first song I'm listening to because I didn't think I'd live to see this day come. I found this band and this song at a time in my life when it felt like the whole world was against me and that it was impossible to go on. I'm still here now, and I fucking lived to tell the tale. there's nothing that'll ring more true to me today than famous last words. I am not afraid to keep on living. awake and unafraid. nothing you could say could stop me going on.
This song saved me

Phanic! At The Fall Out Chemical Romance SAME
Shelby Shofner at 3:52 you can actually see Bob look down at his leg but keep playing. His entire leg is on fire and he's essentially playing through it. I read that three seconds or so after they cut filming he ran off set and needed medical attention for third degree burns. They were apparently supposed to make his back fireproof but they were in a hurry and forgot to apply the substance that would have protected him.

They might get back together! I fangirling SO hard right now

tru tru samee
Hearing this last night at WWWY was truly emotional for me. This song has saved my life more than once and getting to see MCR perform this entire album front to back to conclude with this was something I will never forget
i miss music like this
+March 22nd omg your URL is killing meeee
I agree
+March 22nd your name is not only the tragic date that MCR broke up but it is also my birthday
+Kayla Vicki Bond oooh I'm so sorrrry
Me too
i timed this perfectly so the chorus would play right when the ball dropped on New Year's day
If you play this at 11:58:47 on New Year's eve, it is timed perfectly
ik it started off as a meme, but it definitely hits different at the start of a new year and even a new decade. Thank you, MCR, for helping me make it this far. To 2020.
i did this too
@@natalie-po9gs bro I wanted to cry. I'ma do this again for 2021 bc it is truly the best way to start off a new year.
i did this but with vampire money so at midnight 'well are ya ready ray???'
i have also seen it done with morph so you hear 'j o s h d u n'
2020 sucks go back
This didn’t age well...
It's 1/8/2024. The Black Parade will NEVER die!
but it died tho
@@mewmew8932 It is alive while people still listen to the songs from the album.
@@OwenPlant532 no but like mcr literally went on a tour called the black parade is dead
@@mewmew8932I have the vinyl from that show- that’s just to show the fact that they’re done touring with TBP
the black parade is a bloody zombie istg
For me, the greatness starts at 2:54
My newest favorite line of all time “I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone” I was scared to face things alone but this song completely just whams me In the chest. MCRX🖤
I know how you feel mate, and that line had the same effect on me. So long as we have MCR, we are all truly never alone.
That line actually got me this far in life as well
MCR 4ever🤘🏻
It was a concept album and the entire album talked about death but the last song is Famous Last Words because they wanted everyone's take away to be that last line. While you might think about suicide you gotta keep on living and to not be afraid to walk this world alone. People thought they were glorifying death but really, for the people with depression they were able to put into words what they were feeling. At the end of the day it's an anti-suicide album. To get those suicidal thoughts released in a positive way and to keep going, keep fighting.
i am not afraid to keep on living
i am not afraid to walk this world alone
LunaGranger144 these bright lights
Kiara Moncada and new tattoo idea!
My Phoenix tattoo says "I am not afraid to keep on living"
I have those written on both wrists. people always ask me if they're poetry, and I reply yes, beautiful lyrical poetry.
make yeemo great again and yet the daily mail thinks they're promoting self-harm....fuck the daily mail
3:22 it gets me all the time…. I’m 30 now and MCR helped me get through my emotional teenage hood. They are part of me
Same here I wish I could just go back. I wish I could see all my friends. I miss the malls being overrun with all us unpopular kids lmao.
WISH WE COULD GO BACK AGAIN :'( IM 29.
OMG, same… i don’t how I could’ve lasted without them…
Shoutout to all of the people who got through their depression because of this song. The songs really fends off your inner demons
No one understands how much these guys really mean to me
Stacey Knox I understand.
I understand
Stacey Knox Believe me, I do.. x
Stacey Knox me too...
Well...no one apart from the rest of the MCRmy.
Damn I want a black parade jacket...
Amazon or ebay my friends
SAME
I know a girl at my school who has one similar to Gerard's but idk where she got it.
I want one that looks like Mikey's.
i want one like franks😁😁
I love this album, how they play a character each of their own and they bring them to live.
when j was 16, my brother died. it was in 2007. a lot of my memory is flawed from the time, but I remember I stopped bumming rides from my friends and started walking home every day. I remember I hated being home because it was like the funeral came home with us, and it stayed like that for many years. so I would take the long way home and walk as slowly as humanly possible. I always had my headphones in. I had always been a little stoic, but after my brother died, the guy who defended me through thick and thin, its like I replaced my skin with stone and any time someone tried to walk with me or talk to me from school, I lashed out at them. I lost almost all my friends that year. I had lost my boyfriend the week before my brother died. I lost my brother. my family (understand that the death of my brother changed my family. nothing has been the same since.) my friends. I was already depressed and had anxiety, so it didn't take much to push me past my breaking point. I remember wanting to die so badly my whole body hurt. I remember struggling against myself, knowing that if I did, i would be the breaking point for what was left of my family. regardless, I tried.. and it was a failure of epic proportions. but from that day on, I heard some songs with new ears. instead of hearing my own despair echoed back to me, I heard hope. this was one of them.
if you have read my story.. if it resonates with you, if you are in a dark place and all you hear is your despair echoed back at you, I hope that you know that your life matters. I hope you know that life DOES get better. you aren't alone. and I hope you hear the sound of hope. I hope you feel better soon.
I'm so sorry about your brother. I lost my wife 2 years ago and I know what it's like to have your world shaken up. As much as it sucks that Melinda was only 47, at least she had a shot at life. It pains me when I hear of people dying at such a young age. I lost my oldest brother when he was 39. We weren't super close, but it was still a punch in the gut when I heard the news, so I have some idea of how you felt, although it brought our family together, so I'm sorry that you felt so alone.
I totally agree about hearing songs with new ears. There are songs that I've loved that hold new meanings for me now. I recently started writing a blog to help me sort through my feelings and my last entry actually breaks down what the lyrics of Famous Last Words means to me now. I was watching the video again and decided to read through the comments when I saw your post. Music can be so powerful. Thanks for sharing your story. None of us are truly alone.
I am very sorry about your brother, Rebekah. Stay strong.
I am sorry :(
Beautiful
I'm in tears. I was about to attempt suicide multiple times this week but my parents came home right before I started each time, and now I'm second guessing myself. I really needed to read that to understand what I could do to my siblings.
This song hits different when you're older
So trueeeee reminds me of my early 2000s teen emo days now the lyrics everything hits harder❤
im 13
Things that seem like life or death back then, now.. theyre just decisions we made. With the tools and resources we had at the time.
I genuinely regret the way I treated people back then. But theres nothing they can say that will stop me from coming home.
@@literallyhziq Revisit it in your 30s if you remember
I felt same .. i felt younger brought back soo much memories. I was teen now i m in 30s
Now THIS
This right here is iconic.
I’m a 70 year old female Brit who discovered MCR 10 years ago. I was randomly scrolling through TH-cam and my life was enriched. Visually as the videos were marvellous, but my god that young guy’s vocals! His beautiful face too. The energy they put into performing was amazing, giving their all. Sadly the comeback did not materialise but perhaps just as well. I’ve lived long enough to have had many cherished memories tarnished. I still have that superlative album. Much more credit and esteem should have been bestowed upon them. I enjoy the ‘comics’ too.
This is so good but you must hear “City” by SLT 🏙️🤘🎧 and wait for the drums to kick in 🥁🔥
the bad quality makes it even better
XD
I wanted this to have a better quality tbh, ngl
Old but gold 🖤🦇
Yes, it reminds how actually old this thing is, that make it even better 👍
I mean it for 2007 it was pretty good quality
"i am not afraid to keep on living" that lyric means a lot to me. i'm almost a year clean from self harm and my mental health isn't as bad as it was a while ago. i'm a new fan and even though they broke up years ago, mcr has helped me through a lot. thank you :)
There back together now
Same here it’s been like 6 months since I’ve done self harm
They're baaaack
Thank you M C R -band,families,crew, staff,ARMY:For years of ENTERTAINMENT..🤘🏾🖤✌🏾 💀
You're on a very good path, and I may be a stranger over the internet, but as someone who went through the same, let me tell you, maybe it doesn't seem like it now, but I can assure you things DO get better, and you just did the first step, keep going, you're stronger than you think! c:
Ps: if there are any typos, I blame my non-native-english talker mind
Might be the most beautiful song ever created.
Hey Gerard, do ya know we are afraid to keep living *without MCR* and we're afraid to walk this world alone *without MCR*
Love,
The MCR Fam
I love MCR, always have. But in my opinion it was good they pulled the plug when they did, better to quit when you're on top than to see you becoming an old washed up rockstar with music that stays in the shadows of your younger self. Who knows, maybe they'll get back together someday and put out a masterpiece one more time for us.
It’s um....really true
el humanoid they also has reasons. i mean, he had a kid.
el humanoid had*
love mcrmy
I love this band...every song from them is so special and emotional. Really every single one is so deep. MCR never die!!! Love them...
Emma 💙💙💙
i cant believe this was 8 years ago...damn
Their memory will carry on
HELLO LONG LOST TWIN
ZNVORZ PLOZGVP hello!!!
Gerard: *screams aggressively*
Me: *aggressively lip syncs to not awake my parents*
Mood
I DO THIS CONSTANTLY TOOOO
My kid sang it a few weeks ago I screamed along from the other room.
Hahaha i totally did that before
Thanks for writing my biography
Lyrics
Now I know that I can't make you stay
But where's your heart?
But where's your heart?
But where's your-
And I know there's nothing I can say
To change that part
To change that part
To change...
So many bright lights, they cast a shadow, but can I speak?
Well, is it hard understanding, I'm incomplete?
A life that's so demanding
I get so weak
A love that's so demanding
I can't speak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
Can you see my eyes are shining bright?
'Cause I'm out here on the other side
Of a jet black hotel mirror and I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding, I'm incomplete?
A love that's so demanding
I get weak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
These bright lights have always blinded me
These bright lights have always blinded me, I say
I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone (or dead)
Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home (or dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone (or dead)
Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home (or dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone (or dead)
Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
I really wish I had been a teenager when these songs came out so I wouldn't have to watch them now at 15 knowing I will never be able to see them in concert and that they're broken up.
They are coming back in 2019
+AmazingKilljoyPanics!withGuns4Hands really? also I love your name
+Diana Buriu what? Also thanks
SAME

Gerard: screams loud
Me: aggressively whispers in bed
I've never seen more relatable comment ever. You have my respect
Yes! that's what I'm doing rn!
Very understandable
