@2:41 especially the last line "and if you carry on this way where he made some note change... gives me goosebumps. I'm not even a fan/follower of MCR but this song really has the feelssss.
Gerard wrote this song as an homage to his late grandmother name Helena, he said in an interview how he resents himself for not being around his grandma on her final days.
Listening to this after losing my grandfather recently. I kept saying I would visit him next time, next time, next time... Don't pass it by to see your loved ones. Learn from my mistake. :(
I'm 40 yrs old. I used to give guitar lessons in college (early 2000s). This wasn't even on my radar; I thought emo was just overdramatic goth kids writing bad poetry. But a guitar student brought this in because he wanted to learn how to play it, and I was blown away. It's a very...well...EMOtionally impactful song.
I am 43yo and I was too old for emo. In fact, I listen Black Metal/Doom Metal since 1998. When "dark" emo came popular, "normal people" mixed up Black/Doom Metalheads (minus the eyeliners and the black nails polish) for Emo kids. It wasn't a great time anymore to be Black/Doom Metalhead. But, in that time, I always thought this song (Helena) was a really good song even it's emo.
Yeah, rock dominated the 2000s like with nu-metal and alt rock (I don't like saying emo because mcr isn't and I feel offended when people stereotype them like that, just my opinion). Nowadays it's just mumble rap and hip hop and whatever, but I don't like it to be honest.
That moment when you learn My Chemical Romance's last song they performed live together was "Helena" and that means the last lyrics they sang were "So long and Goodnight"
For anyone wanting to know: "The lyrics describe Gerard Way's feelings for his late grandmother, Elena Lee Rush (friends called her 'Helen', and because of this, Gerard always thought of her as "Helena"). The single has become a moderately-selling hit, both in the U.S. and internationally."
As much as people joke about how emo this song is, I really think the lyrics are genius. They're not just about the pain of his loss (which btw, this song is about his grandma Helen passing), they're actively talking about how much of a joy she was to everyone around her, how much just one person gave to this world. Not just to him either, but to the entire crowd attending the funeral. The scene of her getting out of her coffin, the world frozen to her as a ghost, giving one last goodbye to everyone who loved her.
No offense to emo music but It's not emo. Gerard stated many times that he didn't like emo music and disliked that people would categorize them into that genre.
This may sound weird, but one thing I always remember about MCR is Gerards facial expressions. All of the music videos he has such a great way of showing emotion and passion. Probably could be an actor honestly.
Fun fact this song is about his grandma passing away. Her name was Elena and her nickname was Helen. Moral of the story: Spend time with and love your grandparents, if you have the chance. ❤
this is going to be one of those songs that will never die like 50-100 years from now people are still going to be talking about this song and its going to be in the playlist of every generation in the future. some of us here are going to grow to 60 or older and gonna come back here in this comment section like its a school reunion.
I was just shy of 37 when this song came out. I was teaching in metro Atlanta, and only tangentially kept my finger on the pulse of what my students were listening to then. This song stood out. It was a rough year for me, as was the next. Twelve years of one setback and hardship after another followed. I am 52 now. However, this song popped in my head today for no good reason. Listening to it again, I realize I've survived, I've thrived. I'm ok. And so are you. Because we all are.
Sometimes reopening old wounds, other times reminds us of joy so sharp it brings back the tears. Either way and all things in between........I totally get it. Unite in the feels, soldier. Yay. :3
Honestly, this band means so much to me. I've been listening to them for a few years now. (My parents wouldn't let me at first) This band has encouraged me to get up and keep going even when I have nothing left, not to loose hope, its okay to be scared, its okay to be hurt, but you have to get back up and watch the people get what they deserve weather its good or bad. This band has saved my life and convinced me to keep on living no matter how screwed up this world is.

I once went to a Greek wedding in a “Helena” inspired outfit. Red eyeshadow and black shoes and everything. I was the only goth/emo there but I loved it . I’d wear it again!!
My Chemical Romance has been a constant band that I've never been ashamed of showing my love and passion for. If it disappointed someone, or they didnt like it, I leave them. My first MCR concert was in Mexico in 2007. I was 15 and living my best emo boy life. This is cringey but hey, what I said, Im not ashamed. Im not embarrassed. and I am not afraid. I love My Chemical Romance. I am 27 now, and happy to see all the new fans coming in.
@@theidiotickilljoy463 hey, thats alright. Just take your time and explore different genres, different songs, different artists. Both are cool bands and personally, theyre the same rating for me! hope this helps!
The Ways brothers' grandmother taught them everything they needed to know. She taught Gerard how to do art and perform. She played a major role in their lives, molding them into the people they are now. We salute you, Grandma Elena Lee Rush o7.
Proud parent moment!! - my son (who lives with his father,across country) just told me his favorite band is MCR! That HAS to prove amazing taste in music is there for genetics!!!
last time I was here I was 16 and ridden with depression and anxieties so so much angst... I am now here because I was having a rough day and this song randomly popped into my mind. feels so weird realising how far I've come and matured since then, and understanding in retrospect how much these bands helped me get through some of those fucked up times in my life.. just wanted to pop in the comments and say hang in there to any scared and depressed teen that's listening to this song right now crying on their bedroom floor. you are never alone and it's going to get better. no matter how bleak it seems to be.
I couldn't have said better. What a long journey for me too since I used to listen to this song, again, again and again."You are never alone and it's going to get better". I definitely agree. Keep hope, stay safe, Life is worth living.
@Jacob Trobaugh oh wow that's really young.. Stay strong Jacob, share what you're feeling as much as you can with friends and family, and hold close the belief that it's going to get better because it's absolutely going to get better. Most importantly be safe and take care of yourself
Ellone Barrett Please go talk to your parents or some other adult who you can trust about your feelings & what you’re doing. You can’t keep all of your emotions all bottled up, so many people love & care for you. Your life is only just beginning, life is a gift & there’s so much beauty in the world. Good luck
I am a senior in high school and have an art teacher who grew up in the time when MCR was new. Throughout my time in high school, I have pieced together more and more about MCR, mainly from hearing their songs over my art teacher’s radio playlist. I am now an MCR fan and I will do what I can to make sure this song lives on with me. If you’re reading this someday, thank you Ms. B..
Недавно исполнилось 29 ...люблю mcr, люблю рисовать, спасибо им,возвращаюсь в те времена времена когда все мои друзья были вместе...были живы скрывает не буду,я русский и татарин
I was never a MASSIVE mcr fan when I was younger (on a nostalgia hype atm) but F me they were huge. There was a whole culture based around them pretty much. Gerard Way was one of the cult icons of my youth, without doubt.
I plan on getting married in pajamas and having lightsaber fights. Didn’t tell my parents cause they’re gonna say I’m gonna change my mind when I’m older.
I just got back from my friend's mom wake. After what I saw today this song has a deeper impact than ever. Gerard expresses the pain of having lost his grandmother Helena. And today I saw a Helena go..
This song better play at my funeral. I won't die until they decide to make my funeral exactly like this video, and have Gerard sing, and then him and the rest of the boys carry out my casket and then giving me a last look in the window of the hoarse before leaving. I'm not dying if that doesn't happen.
I think enough time has passed that people can unironically say that MCR was a fucking great band. No nostalgic emo irony, this just goes hard. Great chord progression, great vocal performance, heartfelt lyrics, and all that through multiple albums
I remember listening to mcr every single day, morning, noon, and night when I was 13 and my mom found this "evil goth" looking CD and through it away right in front of me. To this day I don't care what anyone thinks or says....I still love mcr. They're my childhood.
I'm sorry, but just because she did something bad in my eyes doesn't make her a bad person. She thought she was looking out for her child. In the end it doesn't matter. I turned out to be a well balanced adult.
this was the last song mcr played as a band. therefore, the last words (maybe their most famous ones ayyyee I'll go home) were so long and goodnight. help.
Need the Lyrics?? YOUR WELCOME! Longgggg ago Just like the hearse, you die to get in again We are so far from you Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate The lives of everyone you know And what's the worst you take (worst you take) From every heart you break (heart you break) And like the blade you stain (blade you stain) Well, I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Came a time When every star fall brought you to tears again We are the very hurt you sold And what's the worst you take (worst you take) From every heart you break (heart you break) And like the blade you stain (blade you stain) Well, I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Can you hear me? Are you near me? Can we pretend To leave and then We'll meet again When both our cars collide. What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight
The only thing that doesn't make me cry about this song is that in an interview they said Frank had some problems carrying the coffin cause he was too short
Who else had played this like a 1000 times this year?............. Wow thanks for all the like My Chemical Romance Will Always Be In Our Hearts ❤ forever
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.
+EpicFear 20 yeah but it is kind of implied that you would only get one. Besides, it doesn't really matter much. I'm just trying to prove my point that I really want MCR to get back together and make more music.
I came to this right after watching the video of how they made and choreographed the music video from all the people that came in and the dancers and the staff, it takes a lot of work and it's very creative on how they're able to portray this as a eulogy and make it an emotional song. It's freaking awesome and over 20 years later this is still one of my favorite songs of all time
Today was my grandmother's birthday. She lived 30 years with cancer. Her name was Helena and she had the same beautiful green eyes. So long and goodnight
MCR's last song they made was "Fake your Death" and they said that they mimic the band Smashing pumpkins and they broke up for 7 years and got back together. 7 years from MCRs break up will be 2019 the year of Danger Days. Just let that sink in.
They need favorite buttons on TH-cam. This comment needs one. I just found this band a week ago. On march 22 (painful coincidence) and almost cried when I found out. Please let dis be trueeeee! :S
I remember the backlash MCR got back in the day. Yeah, some of their fans were cringey and the videos were a bit over the top, but MCR had a really unique sound that blended Goth, alternative, punk, metal and glam rock. Gerard Way is a very charismatic and talented frontman too.
I was one of those kids that shit on them in high school while I was listening to rap lol. Now over 10 years later I recently heard Welcome To The Black Parade out of the blue and can easily say that it's my favourite song of all time. Never had a song make me feel the way that one does.
"Emo are not dead, they are asleep" i am a high school student who got influence of becoming a emo and here i am, im not that emo but i can sure that i am atleast 40% of emo

The best years EVER: Emo🖤
I am 43yo and I was too old for emo. In fact, I listen Black Metal/Doom Metal since 1998. When "dark" emo came popular, "normal people" mixed up Black/Doom Metalheads (minus the eyeliners and the black nails polish) for Emo kids. It wasn't a great time anymore to be Black/Doom Metalhead. But, in that time, I always thought this song (Helena) was a really good song even it's emo.

I honestly have no idea even though I'm both a fan of MCR and a phan
I can't believe this song is 20 years old. Indeed a 'Masterpiece' from MCR.
This is so good but you must hear “City” by SLT 🌇🤘🌇 and wait for the drums to kick in 🔥🥁
ITS HOW OLD
damn im 23 and this song is like my brothers age

Lyrics
Long ago
Just like the Hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on
Just like the match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take
From every heart you break?
And like the blade you'll stain
Well, I've been holding on tonight
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Came a time
When every star fall
Brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take
From every heart you break?
And like a blade you'll stain
Well, I've been holding on tonight
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Well, if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

i read that i’m almost 2020😀lmaoo
Dang skippy
Agreed.
My Chemical Romance has been a constant band that I've never been ashamed of showing my love and passion for. If it disappointed someone, or they didnt like it, I leave them. My first MCR concert was in Mexico in 2007. I was 15 and living my best emo boy life. This is cringey but hey, what I said, Im not ashamed. Im not embarrassed. and I am not afraid. I love My Chemical Romance. I am 27 now, and happy to see all the new fans coming in.
nah u would have to be at least 28 now
@@synchro9471 if my birthday would have passed, yes
I’m twelve and a newbie to music. Idk if I like nirvana or mcr more tho.
@@theidiotickilljoy463 hey, thats alright. Just take your time and explore different genres, different songs, different artists. Both are cool bands and personally, theyre the same rating for me! hope this helps!
MCR is amazing I dunno how I didn’t know about them before
And all of a sudden I'm 16 again.. really takes you back ❤
why is gerard so beautiful 😭 ? it should be illegal 😥

Ik. It’s sucks
Proud parent moment!! - my son (who lives with his father,across country) just told me his favorite band is MCR! That HAS to prove amazing taste in music is there for genetics!!!
Who’s here after they announced the reunion
Meeeeeeeeeee
ME
I'm in my bedroom while crying with my fresh coloured black hair.
I've always been here😭😭😭
Me
Gerard really deserves an Oscar for this. That part at the end always gets me crying because of his expressions
last time I was here I was 16 and ridden with depression and anxieties so so much angst... I am now here because I was having a rough day and this song randomly popped into my mind. feels so weird realising how far I've come and matured since then, and understanding in retrospect how much these bands helped me get through some of those fucked up times in my life.. just wanted to pop in the comments and say hang in there to any scared and depressed teen that's listening to this song right now crying on their bedroom floor. you are never alone and it's going to get better. no matter how bleak it seems to be.
I couldn't have said better. What a long journey for me too since I used to listen to this song, again, again and again."You are never alone and it's going to get better". I definitely agree. Keep hope, stay safe, Life is worth living.
I'm 27 but can relate...awkward yes
@Jacob Trobaugh oh wow that's really young.. Stay strong Jacob, share what you're feeling as much as you can with friends and family, and hold close the belief that it's going to get better because it's absolutely going to get better. Most importantly be safe and take care of yourself
As a depressed teen I thank we still cry listening to mcr but we also joke about it later as a coping mechanism yeet
Ellone Barrett Please go talk to your parents or some other adult who you can trust about your feelings & what you’re doing. You can’t keep all of your emotions all bottled up, so many people love & care for you. Your life is only just beginning, life is a gift & there’s so much beauty in the world. Good luck
Why is this bringing back so much nostalgia even tho I heard this song maybe like 2-3 months ago for the first time???
I am a senior in high school and have an art teacher who grew up in the time when MCR was new. Throughout my time in high school, I have pieced together more and more about MCR, mainly from hearing their songs over my art teacher’s radio playlist. I am now an MCR fan and I will do what I can to make sure this song lives on with me. If you’re reading this someday, thank you Ms. B..
Недавно исполнилось 29 ...люблю mcr, люблю рисовать, спасибо им,возвращаюсь в те времена времена когда все мои друзья были вместе...были живы скрывает не буду,я русский и татарин
I'm a Junior lol
I saw my high school physics teacher at the mcr concert lol, in 2019 he told us he went to the show at the shrine
I was never a MASSIVE mcr fan when I was younger (on a nostalgia hype atm) but F me they were huge. There was a whole culture based around them pretty much. Gerard Way was one of the cult icons of my youth, without doubt.
@@ЭдвардФен I too am a senior. A senior citizen, that is! 67 years old and I think Way is brilliant. This is music to die by.
Most people want a funeral like this.
Darling I want a wedding like this!
mind looking up this band The Impures new song Time
@@toyestori2842 It's not my kind of music but I am an open minded person who can appreciate anything if it's earnest & honest.
I once told my parents I want a corpse bride themed wedding when I get older and they just looked at me in disgust and was saying that that's morbid.
I plan on getting married in pajamas and having lightsaber fights. Didn’t tell my parents cause they’re gonna say I’m gonna change my mind when I’m older.
Same
This song is so addictive literally all of mcr's songs are
Yess❤
Frrrr
Yes
I just got back from my friend's mom wake. After what I saw today this song has a deeper impact than ever. Gerard expresses the pain of having lost his grandmother Helena. And today I saw a Helena go..
I seriously can't wrap my mind around the fact that this era of music is 10+ years old now :'( Feels like yesterday!
I'm still living in 2005, 2006, 2007 mentally tbh.

Hey hi greetings and salutations FINALLY ANOTHER 14 YEAR OLD WHO LISTENS TO MCR
@ well hello there fellow 14 year old
this is such a good song. Can we just appreciate the fact that this song exists because if it didn't there would be nothing to play at emo funerals.
Love your profile picture
This song better play at my funeral. I won't die until they decide to make my funeral exactly like this video, and have Gerard sing, and then him and the rest of the boys carry out my casket and then giving me a last look in the window of the hoarse before leaving. I'm not dying if that doesn't happen.
+This time I'm Ready To Run Honestly,Same....then I would have Gerard Way and Andy Beirsack slap me at the same time so I would be revived...::

I think enough time has passed that people can unironically say that MCR was a fucking great band.
No nostalgic emo irony, this just goes hard. Great chord progression, great vocal performance, heartfelt lyrics, and all that through multiple albums
I tried to introduce my friend to MCR with WTTBP and they said it was "trying to be unironically edgy" 😢
@@gaffer2602its ok bro u have better taste anyway
We have to give them credit. Before social networks the ones that did stand out were great, period.
There was no others there to stand out.
This is so good but you must hear “The Wave” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🐺🎧🤘
emo is coming back. not that it ever really left, but edgy teens still love emo culture
35 yr old here showing my daughter old emo/scene music cause now she's into it and my inner scene queen of 05-2009 is screaming with joy
I remember listening to mcr every single day, morning, noon, and night when I was 13 and my mom found this "evil goth" looking CD and through it away right in front of me. To this day I don't care what anyone thinks or says....I still love mcr. They're my childhood.
which CD was it?
The one with Gerards bloody artwork as the album cover.
3 cheers for revenge?
Uh she actually broke it in front of me....then threw it in the garbage. Lol. Left that part out.
I'm sorry, but just because she did something bad in my eyes doesn't make her a bad person. She thought she was looking out for her child. In the end it doesn't matter. I turned out to be a well balanced adult.
this was the last song mcr played as a band. therefore, the last words (maybe their most famous ones ayyyee I'll go home) were so long and goodnight.
help.
Fruit Salad ! _I'm not crying_
Fruit Salad ! This has been their signature final song, no wonder it was their very last song as MCR. I missed old days

Longgggg ago
Just like the hearse, you die to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I've been holding on tonight
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I've been holding on tonight
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend
To leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide.
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

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.
Well said

+Jonah Allison No you wouldn't. You'd wish for more wishes.
+Ethan Schmidt no I wouldn't. That's cheating. That wouldn't be allowed. Hints the words "one wish" I just want MCR back
+Jonah Allison its not cheating, yea its one wish but you can wish for more wishes if it wasnt applied
+EpicFear 20 yeah but it is kind of implied that you would only get one. Besides, it doesn't really matter much. I'm just trying to prove my point that I really want MCR to get back together and make more music.
Jonah Allison Yes, but if you wished for more wishes you'd get that and more
I came to this right after watching the video of how they made and choreographed the music video from all the people that came in and the dancers and the staff, it takes a lot of work and it's very creative on how they're able to portray this as a eulogy and make it an emotional song. It's freaking awesome and over 20 years later this is still one of my favorite songs of all time

MCR's last song they made was "Fake your Death" and they said that they mimic the band Smashing pumpkins and they broke up for 7 years and got back together. 7 years from MCRs break up will be 2019 the year of Danger Days. Just let that sink in.
Oh my god... I hope that is true....

They need favorite buttons on TH-cam. This comment needs one. I just found this band a week ago. On march 22 (painful coincidence) and almost cried when I found out. Please let dis be trueeeee! :S
sitashma bista I really hope they get back together! Hopefully they know how much we all care and get back together sooner. Why did they break up?
I remember the backlash MCR got back in the day. Yeah, some of their fans were cringey and the videos were a bit over the top, but MCR had a really unique sound that blended Goth, alternative, punk, metal and glam rock. Gerard Way is a very charismatic and talented frontman too.
I agree with that 💯 this band is amazing
yeppp
Videos were not over the top they're just unique!
I was one of those kids that shit on them in high school while I was listening to rap lol. Now over 10 years later I recently heard Welcome To The Black Parade out of the blue and can easily say that it's my favourite song of all time. Never had a song make me feel the way that one does.
