Is anybody else just, like, physically unable to listen to this song without crying? Like, every time I think I'm gonna make it, I lose it at "this just ain't living". Every single time.
yup, 'this just ain't living' also got me. the lyrics are beautiful: eventhough (hopefully) u can live longer by chemo, but that ain't living-constant nausea, vomiting n hair loss T^T
Gerard way is an insanely talented lyricst, singer and is incredible about making people feel about them selves with their gender identity / sexuality. He's perfect.
This song always makes me think of my daddy. He died almost two years ago, and I could never EVER listen to this song w/o crying, especially when "But counting down the days to go, this just ain't living." comes up, because my dad never not once complained about his immense pain, but you could see in his eyes how he felt. But he was always SO cheery. He was the one slowly dying, slipping out of my fingers for almost three years and he had to comfort me. He was my best friend. RIP Dad, love you
somehow I think the other members were supposed to play at some time during the song but they suddenly realised how amazing it sounded just the piano and the voice and they were like: ... let it go. Internally they all agreed.
(I actually sat in front of my laptop for 3 hrs straight just to correct new killjoys' comments and I know I shouldn't be so triggered but fk i rly miss this band) SO ACTUALLY the boys never played during this song at all, it's kind of a tradition thing where they ended most of their parade era shows with Gee being the only one on the stage and singing Cancer.
Same here :( My dog had to be put to sleep 2 weeks ago at night. I wasn't there and my cell phone was dead. I slept while he was dying and I never saw him again. He had an undiscovered tumor that burst and he slowly bled to death inside. I can't stop crying over him and I restart crying every time I hear this, but I can't stop listening to it.
My bunny was put to sleep early in the morning on December 23 2014. He had a heart condition that he had shown no signs of until it was too late. Not one of my favorite days, as he was my first pet and I spent most on my day huddled in my room listening to mcr and crying.
Stephenie Kutcher ha damn, had the "same" thing with my cat. She was very sick, in health care at the vet, and I went to see her every two days. One day after work, I went there, she was not reacting or anything, just eyes opened, almost sleeping. The morning after, the vet called me to tell me she was gone. I always imagine that she survived one more day just so I could go see her one last time. Damns pets, we love them so much.
I feel like poor Gee and Mikey had to wear sunglasses because they knew they were going to cry. In the beginning it almost sounds like Gee is choking back tears and it breaks my heart to hear this. The way I see it is, Gerard Way, the sassy killjoy and Mikey, the adorable, sparkly puppy, probably can't hear this song without crying... Poor babies...
+How is this Chloe I actually read something that said they wanted to write the darkest song ever, as a very in-your-face way of addressing cancer. But you might be right.
To alL NEW KILLJOYS: this has nothing to do with crying. If you are aware, the reason MCR broke up was that after the "black parade is dead" era Gerard and Mikey got addicted to alcohol (and probably drugs) again. Till 2004 Gee used to wear sunglasses whenever he was drung or high so this may be the reason. Well for the choking sounds, his voice is really just made for higher-pitched songs and singing with your body in a loose position is even harder. PLEASE STOP SPREADING UNCONFIRMED RUMORS, IT'S TOTALLY DISRESPECTFUL AND ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY OUR SMOL BEANS R TERRIFIED OF GOOGLING THEMSELVES. Ok have a nice day
Same, my grandma and my teacher both have cancer. My teacher, she's the sweetest person I've ever met and has been there for me through some really tough times
i don’t recall ever hearing this song before, if i did i wasn’t paying much attention to the words i do that often when listening to music, i’ll focus more on the melody than the lyrics, don’t know why it played on the music mix at Grape Ape Tattoo & Gallery when i was getting inked up recently, i asked the name of the band i wasn’t paying much attention to the words then either, i was enjoying the soothing melody plus when i’m getting a tattoo i’m in a relaxed state of mind, kinda like a meditative trance, almost dozed off during a couple of my tats driving across town yesterday i asked siri to play mcr, after a couple songs this one played and i immediately recognized the melody i was quite surprised when i saw the name of the song on my dashboard display, i listened closely to the words this time, boy did i listen, it hit home hard almost too hard it resonates so closely what i’ve been feeling and have expressed before, i’m not afraid to die what i fear most is saying goodbye “cause the hardest part of this is leaving you”
The black parade was a geniues of an albumn , because it covered death , with powerfull music and lyrics . And gerrard is the ultimate frontman dark passionate, sexy. I don’t think that albumn will ever be beaten .ever .
Turn away, If you could get me a drink Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded Call my aunt Marie Help her gather all my things And bury me in all my favorite colors, My sisters and my brothers, still, I will not kiss you, 'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you. Now turn away, 'Cause I'm awful just to see 'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body, Oh, my agony, Know that I will never marry, Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo But counting down the days to go
ohh man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just cannot get enough of these guys@!!!!!! and to think of the thousands of shows I have been too.., NOT ONCE DID I GET TOO SEE THEM this makes me so sad!!!
It was so unexpected when they played this in Australia this year. As soon as those notes began, Niagra falls poured out of my eyeballs. Such a beautiful song.
@Fansofkilljoys I know what it's like too. A beloved teacher at my school died of stomach cancer this year. Mrs. Zawiza you will live in our hearts forever.
I can admit I might not be a die hard fan of all their songs (I am of most of them) but I am definitely a die hard fan of this band and the people in it.
It just ain't living And I just hope you know That if you say (if you say) Goodbye today (goodbye today) I'd ask you to be true (cause I'd ask you to be true) 'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you 'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
It's a terrible disease, I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. I am SOOO sorry that happened to you, I did see my dad's body. I held his hand until he left us. Even after the fact. I also spoke at his service. Though it is impossible to forget the last few days, the good outweigh the bad.
pretty sure the sassy sunglasses are to hide the fact that tHEY'RE CRYING TOO
YEAH CUZ ONLY MIKEY AND GERARD HAVE THE SASSY GLASSES IN THERE AND RAY IS JUST LOOKIN DOWN TRYIN TO HIDE HIS FEELINGS
*to hide them under his fro
+Abby Black Omg, true...

Is anybody else just, like, physically unable to listen to this song without crying? Like, every time I think I'm gonna make it, I lose it at "this just ain't living". Every single time.
I started losing it at 1:57
My heart just exploded this is beautiful
+Spider I lose it at the hardest part of this is leaving you :(
yup, 'this just ain't living' also got me. the lyrics are beautiful: eventhough (hopefully) u can live longer by chemo, but that ain't living-constant nausea, vomiting n hair loss T^T

this song was so eerie. I miss these boys as a band so much.
Joseph Adolph same....
We don’t have to miss them anymore!!!!!! :,)
guess what
:)
somehow I think the other members were supposed to play at some time during the song but they suddenly realised how amazing it sounded just the piano and the voice and they were like: ... let it go. Internally they all agreed.

gerard looks blind with sunglasses tbh
Angie Momo he looks like a blind lesbian
Gerard Way's Hands my blind little lesbian
stevie wonder who

This made me miss my dog, Brandy, more than I realized....she had to be put to sleep in 2005 because of cancer. And I never got to say goodbye
Same here :( My dog had to be put to sleep 2 weeks ago at night. I wasn't there and my cell phone was dead. I slept while he was dying and I never saw him again.

Stephenie Kutcher These comments broke my heart even more. I'm so, so sorry for your lost.
Stephenie Kutcher my dog's name is Brandy too but its still alive and in good condition im sorry for your loss
In the acoustic version, Gerard's voice is so beautifully audible, all the voice vibrations, Oh my God!
Gerard: "This song's called Cancer"
Friend: **hears Gerard** "This song *is* cancer"
I officially have no friends.
I mean you have us
I pooped my pants
I feel like poor Gee and Mikey had to wear sunglasses because they knew they were going to cry. In the beginning it almost sounds like Gee is choking back tears and it breaks my heart to hear this. The way I see it is, Gerard Way, the sassy killjoy and Mikey, the adorable, sparkly puppy, probably can't hear this song without crying... Poor babies...
@How is this Chloe... WELL THANKS FOR THAT.
+Marvelous Mary I unfortunately don't, but my friend thinks that their grandmother Elena, (Helena was named after her) died of cancer.
+How is this Chloe I actually read something that said they wanted to write the darkest song ever, as a very in-your-face way of addressing cancer. But you might be right.

No, their Grandmother did not have cancer. I don't know what she had but I know she died due to complications when she was having a heart surgery.
I love this version so much.
Jughead Bughead me too
No I'm not bathing in my tears right now nope nope nope
Saaaaaaaaaaame!!!
how can gerard smile after this emotional song
i would be crying my heart out :'3
Aww gee smiling at the end and ray clappin so adorable
Oh my god. I started crying at "Now Turn Away.." So beautiful. I can't even explain.
this is one of my FAVORITE studio versions of cancer. gerard slight rasp makes this performance so much note emotional
I like how this music goes from all soft to all loud then soft.... :')
My Forever favorite MCR song
this song always makes me think of my nana who died of cancer in 2009
Ray and Frank boppin their heads in sync (:
Listening to this after finding out your grandmother has cancer hurts in ways words can't express.
Same, my grandma and my teacher both have cancer. My teacher, she's the sweetest person I've ever met and has been there for me through some really tough times
"coz the hardest part of this...is living you.." this is really a master piece
*leaving you* god dammit *leaving you*
i don’t recall ever hearing this song before, if i did i wasn’t paying much attention to the words
i do that often when listening to music, i’ll focus more on the melody than the lyrics, don’t know why
it played on the music mix at Grape Ape Tattoo & Gallery when i was getting inked up recently, i asked the name of the band
i wasn’t paying much attention to the words then either, i was enjoying the soothing melody
plus when i’m getting a tattoo i’m in a relaxed state of mind, kinda like a meditative trance, almost dozed off during a couple of my tats
driving across town yesterday i asked siri to play mcr, after a couple songs this one played and i immediately recognized the melody
i was quite surprised when i saw the name of the song on my dashboard display, i listened closely to the words this time, boy did i listen, it hit home hard almost too hard
it resonates so closely what i’ve been feeling and have expressed before, i’m not afraid to die what i fear most is saying goodbye “cause the hardest part of this is leaving you”
I’m not crying. You’re crying. I’ll be 30 next year and their music still gives me shivers…
The black parade was a geniues of an albumn , because it covered death , with powerfull music and lyrics . And gerrard is the ultimate frontman dark passionate, sexy. I don’t think that albumn will ever be beaten .ever .
Love the thumbs up gee and ray gives to each other at the start XD
This song is so beautiful. It perfectly transmit the feeling of a person who is sick and their fear of leaving all the people that they love.
He has an amazingly angelic voice...
I find it funny how both the Ways are wearing sunglasses.
No Way
It's to hide them crying
"I'd ask you to be true"... Great lyric... I just cried.
Turn away,
If you could get me a drink
Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you.
Now turn away,
'Cause I'm awful just to see
'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body,
Oh, my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
Re-watches the first 8 seconds a thousand times over! LOOK AT RAY BEING AN ADORABLE BEAN MAKING SURE GEE IS OKAY!!!!!!
This is such a beautiful version of this song. Definitely one of the best acoustic sets they've done so far.
I love how pleased he looks with himself at the end.
YOU SHOULD FEEL PLEASED, GERARD, THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
reemember in mexico
+Eduardo Guevara *long pause* yOUUUU
+bianca d. an air kiss to the crowd before...

this makes me so sad!!!
Why did this have to be so beautiful?
Amo su voz. Amo la canción, amo a la banda y lo amo a el
It was so unexpected when they played this in Australia this year. As soon as those notes began, Niagra falls poured out of my eyeballs. Such a beautiful song.
Ugh this song makes me cry every time I listen to it
no of course I'm not crying just sweating from my eyes
This song makes me think of you and people having to go through this, and its just this heartache...I feel for you, I really do..
Gee is so cute at the end "Thanks guys"(;
I love this song.
haha I love how gerard seems all proud of him self at the end "thank you guys :D" haha
I was not expecting Gee's hand at 2:26 to make me feelsy .-.
I'M GONNA CRY BRB
Sumptuously! I love this song so much. Gerard is the best !!!
*lays down in street* *cries* *cries some more* DRIVE OVER ME FGHJNBWVGHBHJWBDWHEVD *cries even more*
I love when everyone starts cheering, Gee blushes and say thanks guys. So cute
im hysterical crying and then i think to myself.... what the hell are Gerard's glasses
i think this is the best version - that piano (with Gee's vocals of course) just killed me :'(
His voice is addicted to me. So unique
QUE PUTA JOYA DE CANCIÓN TE AMO GERARD
i miss them :''' ,please back My Chemical Romance
I love this song so much..
This song allways gives me goosebumps! O.o
Just lost my aunt to cancer this version of Helena and cancer are keeping me going
This is perfect. My ears are so happy even though my heart is being torn to pieces.
btw. MyChem are amazing as rock band and now... wow those acoustic version of their songs are..beautiful too !
Gerard: " and how? "
ray: " its okay gee, its okay"
Gerard: " Okay? uff, thanks"
I cried, not even a little. First note hit and it started.
i love how during an extremely emotional song, miley’s just back there tuning his bass
@Fansofkilljoys
I know what it's like too. A beloved teacher at my school died of stomach cancer this year. Mrs. Zawiza you will live in our hearts forever.
THE STRENGTH IN HIS VOICE IM
WOW. I've always loved this song, but this version is AMAZING. Paired with me reading something sad while listening to it this is too much.
Okay, That made me cry like a baby!!!! *still crying*
The piano arangement is beautiful :')
How I love Gee! 😍😍😍😍😍
OMG amazing! You can truly hear the agony in his voice, and the song is even more powerful than the studio version!
I LOVE mcr!!!!!
Frank's guitar is beautiful. so jealous right now. and possibly crying from the song...
"Cause the hardest part of this is leaving u" 😭😭😭
This gives me goosebumps every time!
It was so deep & emotional 💜... and then 2:41, "thank u guys" .. haha
Gerrard Way in this video reminds me of Layne Staley when Alice in Chains did the acoustic session on MTV
I can admit I might not be a die hard fan of all their songs (I am of most of them) but I am definitely a die hard fan of this band and the people in it.
I miss you guys! please come back! 😢😢😢
This sounds truly amazing. All of the songs from this session are, but Gerard sounded like his voice was a little blown out...
Perfect band
i love mcr so much. i can't believe that they broke up..2 years ago my mum said i am never allowed to see them live..i cried..
i love how he says "thanks guys" at the end he just sounds so innocent and cute like a child haha xD
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know
That if you say (if you say)
Goodbye today (goodbye today)
I'd ask you to be true (cause I'd ask you to be true)
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
cause the hardest part of this is leaving you.
i love this song, i love mcr i love all u.u
My heart died at 1:53
My heart died at 0:00
Lyrics are genius.most ironic thing I've heard.
It's a terrible disease, I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. I am SOOO sorry that happened to you, I did see my dad's body. I held his hand until he left us. Even after the fact. I also spoke at his service. Though it is impossible to forget the last few days, the good outweigh the bad.
