Gerard Way, the lead singer, wrote this song for this grandmother who passed away. She used to be a dancer and he was really close to her. The girl who dances at the end is performing her last dance.
+NearlySeniorCitizen Yetagamer wanna know how to make it sad... My Chemical Romance broke up March 22nd, 2013 When they went on their last tour this was the last song on the setlist... So the last words that mcr has ever song together as a band were "So long and goodnight"
I've been waiting for this!! This song is partially about the death of Gerard Way (lead singer) and his brother Mikey Way (bass) grandmother, Elena (I don't remember why they changed a little bit the name). Basically this song means a lot to the band because Elena taught Gerard how to draw, paint and sing (she even gave Gerard his first car). She supported Gerard and the band, and she died when they were writing the second album, so the song is dedicated to her. It was hard for them to make the music video because Gerard would get really sad and cry, but then continue. The people in the video besides the band, are fans. The lyrics have a lot of meaning when you know the story behind this. Thank you for taking the time to react to this! Take care!
since this song was partially about gerard and mikey's grandma, i was sad when i heard that the first time mikey saw the video and song he cried. and their grandma's name was elena, and one of her nicknames was helen, so that combined the two to get helena. which is also my name!
Without fail this song and video reduces me to tears every time I hear it. Whenever someone in my life dies I find myself listening to it on repeat. A very special song to me.
This was the second MCR song I ever listened to, and it's still one of my favourites. Especially when you consider the story behind it all, it's really special and meaningful. I think it's really sweet that Gerard wrote a song for his grandmother, doing stuff like that can be a good way of dealing with a loss, and it resulted in another beautiful song for all us fans to enjoy!
their whole album, the songs, uniforms and videos encapsulates the idea of Macabre, and in the video, they are staying thru to this idea of 'the dance of death'.
This song is about Gerard (The Singer), and Mikey Way (The Bassist) Grandmother-Helena Way. Helena was the band, and Gerard and Mikey's biggest supporter and a very big influence, so when she passed they decided to make a song dedicated to Helena Way.
Correction: Her name was Elena, I apologize my phone was autocorrecting. The reason it's called Helena, is because Elena's nickname was Helen, so put two and two together and it makes, Helena.
I know this is a little late but I believe he wrote this song about his grandmother and the solo dance that the girl does is a dance his grandmother did 😊
This music video was runner up for Best Music Video of 2005. The award went to Fall Out Boy: Sugar, We're Going Down. Both are great videos, though! :)
Wow. I only recently found your channel, and I have to say I am extremely impressed. I am loving just about all of your videos, and especially all of these MCR ones, considering they are my favourite idea of all time. Seeing as you are also enjoying them, but lacking some of the background to the songs and their meanings I would love to have a chat with you discussing them, hopefully we can further your understanding, but I understand that you are obviously a busy man, so no pressure or obligation, but if you're down to it that'd be great! Also, although I'm loving your reactions to music videos, I think it would be quite interesting to see you react to some spoken word poetry, which is again, something we could talk about if you're interested. Okay, I've wasted enough of your time with this long-ass comment. But all-in-all, keep up your great work, and I'll hope to see you on the flipside!
the song is about the lead singer and bassist's grandmother's death. her name was Elena and Gerard (the lead singer) wrote this song about her because she helped him and his brother, mikey, the bass player, a lot through depression
You like D&D, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini, and croquet. You can’t swim, you can’t dance, and you don’t know karate. Face it. You’re never gonna make it.
Basically the song is for the lead singer and the bassists grandma who passed away during the recording of the second album and they wrote this song to tribute her. Her name was elena and her nickname was Helen. They decided to combine the two to make Helena.
this song has full of sadness, anger and hurt. this is in regards to the death of his beloved grandma.. and by the way the video was been recorded in a presbyterian church
You must play "The Last Of Us" game (PS3 or PS4 versions)! That's a impressive experience... more than any other game! We want to see your react to this, please! Hello from Brazil. We love you so much!
+Aurenilo Araújo As soon as I can afford it I will play it, I promise you! I think it's an AWESOME game and would LOVE to play- just can't afford it yet :( Thank you so much for the suggestion and you have a great day!
Yea I dont really know much about the meaning of this song either. only that it was about Gerards and Mikeys, the singer and bass players' grandma's death.
Brandon Wolfe: obviously it's about their grandmother, but the dance at the end is the last dance that their grandma performed because she was a dancer. Her name was Elena, but her nickname was Helen, so they combined the two together and got Helena. As you can see they love her very, very much.
I know it's been a while since Iv watched a video but I come back and you have a weed tshirt on and smoke in front of you. Lol seems like I missed a lot. I love this .....
I've smoked cannabis on camera from the VERY beginning- I used to Let's Plays called "Let's TOKE UP and Play" and I started EVERY video by taking a HUGE hit on my bong :)
OMG I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS. YOU SHOULD REACT TO 30 SECONDS TO MARS' SONG "THE KILL" OR "KINGS AND QUEENS". Sorry for the all-caps; I like your reaction videos and I'm easily excited.
thank you so much for reacting to MCR so much. i really love to watch your reactions to them :-)could you maybe also react to one direction,5sos or Little mix? that would be awesome
Basically Gerard Way (lead singer) and his brother Mikey Way (bass guitar) their grandmother passed and Gerard made this song (he was actually crying there and it hit me hard) to help him move on I guess. Helena (correct me if I'm wrong) is their grandmother. (I'm sorry if I got that last part wrong)
Can you react to either "Wake me up when September ends" or "Jesus of Suburbia" by Green Day. They are incredible music videos. Thanks for your consideration
Could you maybe react to Gin Wigmore? She's underrated but I think you would like Black Sheep or Man Like That c: Also, I hope everything is going well for you and keep up the splendid videos!
+Hannah Riley Things are- definitely... going... in my life :) I will check out Gin Wigmore as soon as I can! Thank you for the suggestion, and for watching, enjoying, and commenting! Have a great day!
The song and video are related to the album concept. The album is about a woman who died in a heartbreaking situation, and she is supposed to come back for revenge.
It's about Gerard (lead singer black hair) an Mikey (guy with brown hair and glasses) grandmother died and they were all very close to here and that's what the song was about and how we should all not only morn for death but celebrate it. And yes the grandmothers name was Helena
Please reaction to -EXO: Call me baby, Love me right, Growl, Sing for you. -Mamamoo: You're the best, Delilah, -WheeIn: short hair -유영진 X D.O._Tell Me (What Is Love)_Epilogue. Greetings from Chile (:
Let's see if I can make it through this video without crying.... *editation* Nope, I just remembered that this was the last song they sang live before they broke up...
Never really been a fan of MCR, I was at school when the whole emo scene was kicking off. Put me off. I do quite like the chorus, however. But that's about it.
the song is about the lead singer and bassist's grandmother's death. her name was Elena and Gerard (the lead singer) wrote this song about her because she helped him and his brother, mikey, the bass player, a lot through depression

Her friends used to call her Helen so he mixed Elena and Helen. :-)

Cassandra especially gerards face in the final chorus, the one that looks like he is about to break into millions of tiny pieces
is he wearing a weed shirt?
With a big old cannabis leaf on it- yups!
It's his favorite scent :)
NearlySeniorCitizen Yetagamer You're hilarious!!! 😂 😂 😂 I love your channel! Subscribed the first time I saw a few of your vids!
I was searching for this very comment
Potato God 0_o yes I’m pretty sure
When I was a kid I never knew this is what gonna happen to my life watching an elderly man watching an emo song
This was the second MCR song I ever listened to, and it's still one of my favourites. Especially when you consider the story behind it all, it's really special and meaningful. I think it's really sweet that Gerard wrote a song for his grandmother, doing stuff like that can be a good way of dealing with a loss, and it resulted in another beautiful song for all us fans to enjoy!
Sees his shirt, sees smoke, " Yeah he's probably on something. " He says, " MAN, last night was awful" Me: " I FREAKIN NEW IT"
this song always brings tears to my eyes literally... but thank you my friend. the best videos.

their whole album, the songs, uniforms and videos encapsulates the idea of Macabre, and in the video, they are staying thru to this idea of 'the dance of death'.
I saw your reaction to dan and phil punk edits irl so I'm like "imma check out his channel he seems cool" MCR HOLY COW YES OMG
This song is about Gerard (The Singer), and Mikey Way (The Bassist) Grandmother-Helena Way. Helena was the band, and Gerard and Mikey's biggest supporter and a very big influence, so when she passed they decided to make a song dedicated to Helena Way.

Their grandmother was named Elena, but her friends called her Hellen. They were combined for the song title.

Emma G she was called Elena but she wanted to be called Helen. A mix of those names are Helena
Grief
you need to have the lyrics with you so you don't say you don't know what's happening throughout the whole song
Never really been a fan of MCR, I was at school when the whole emo scene was kicking off. Put me off. I do quite like the chorus, however. But that's about it.
Dude........Why are you wearing a shirt with weed on it.........??
Why not? :) I like weed- smoke cannabis like a CHIMNEY because of chronic pain.
the song is about the lead singer and bassist's grandmother's death. her name was Elena and Gerard (the lead singer) wrote this song about her because she helped him and his brother, mikey, the bass player, a lot through depression
