    This version feels like a very good evolution of the song. The original felt much more like Gerard was lashing out at the world for taking his grandmother from him but this time around it feels much more like he’s been able to accept it like the anger he had inside has subsided but is of course still sad about her unfortunate passing and misses her

  • @thatthinggerarddoeswithfra634

    Helena was the first ever song I listened to by My Chemical Romance. It was in 2007, and I was 10. I was going through depression because my older brother had died, and he was the one who kept me going. I tapped on the song accidentally, and it made me cry. For the first time in the month that had passed after my brother’s death, I had cried actual tears. It felt good, and it was a relief to cry. I hadn’t been able to cry before that because it was just a lump in my throat. I felt no emotion other than sadness too strong to even make me cry. I cried so much during the song I thought I’d run out of tears. That song made me realise that the worst of the pain will go away, and, although it’ll always be there, it’ll get better over time. It gave me hope, and, whenever I needed to cry, I listened to Helena. I moved on to listen to more of their songs, and listened to Bullets, and also listened to Revenge. Bullets let me cry, and told me that it was okay. That expressing feelings was okay. Revenge also let me get angry, and it let me destruct things. I turned 13 a few years later, and the pain had returned, worse than ever. I self-harmed and starved myself. I had completely forgotten about the band. I came across the band again, and I listened and listened. Slowly, I began to stop starving myself, and I cut less, and I didn’t realise it happening. I learnt so many things from My Chemical Romance. I learnt that I was beautiful, that it was okay to be angry, that it was okay to want to *cry*. Years later, I found that they broke up, and I cried. I cried a lot because when the band that gave you the chance to do what you wanted to do breaks up, you realise that it’s over; that they won’t be making anymore music. I still listened to My Chemical Romance, and it helped me through the darkness.
    My Chemical Romance has helped me so much, and they continue to. It’s crazy how much a band can help. You don’t realise it until they pull you out. I wouldn’t usually share this, but since I’m anonymous here, I will share. You’re all beautiful and worth something, because you’re you, and nobody else can be you. 💖

    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

      Cody The Wolf yeah I know . I was just saying that I like the way they sound and people seem to think that I’m being offensive or anything . But I’m just saying that they did awesome and I really enjoyed it , not that I don’t enjoy their other stuff Bc I really do 😊 I just thought that he sounded very good and I like this version of Helena . So to anyone else who doesn’t understand what I was saying , I LIKE THIS VERSION OF THE SONG HE SOUNDS GOOD AND I ENJOYED IT VERY BERY MUCH

    This,, I'm-
    Gerard's voice is beautiful, it has feelings in it
    If some people don't like his voice then it's not our problem, just don't come and say he's a bad live singer.
    His voice is one of the most beautiful ones I have ever heard, I understand it, even when I'm listening to mcr songs, without the music videos, even if some dont even have video, I can understand his voice nd I even know what facial expressions he's doing while singing. If other people don't like it, well, it's not our problem, bc we're killjoys and we will be here until the very very end, until they don't even have their solo careers, they're everything to me, and ofc, to every killjoy in this family, and I , we, will never forget them.
    My Chemical Romance was the best idea ever.

I think kids will have an ear for good music. No one forced mcr on us. We found it because they're magic, and made amazing music that will carry on through the ages just like the bealtes or queen or any group that's been dead and gone, and still has a following even with much younger generations. I'm not gonna lie it'll probably melt my heart to hear my grandkids jamming to some famous last words though.

    Really memed and underrated vocalist. He is really up there with rock vocalists. I feel like hes skirted into emo memes and even emo culture way too much and it discredits his vocal talent and the instrumental talent of the band. They were amazing. I'm 38. I took my sister to a Van's Warped Tour in 2005 (shes way younger than me, lol, by 8 years). I remember very little from that experience other than Jessica wanting to see MCR as close as possible. I'm experienced in front row stakeouts and so that's what we did.
    I. Cannot. Explain. I truly just can't explain what it was like to see them live. I didn't even care about them. If anything, I scoffed at them because I was young and dumb and still sort of thought of music as being cool or not cool.
    I've seen HUNDREDS upon hundreds of shows in my life. Watching MCR live was one of the most memorable by leaps and bounds. I feel the need to elaborate. Instead, I'm going to leave it right there.

      I had my hand over the buy button for the Cambridge MA Killjoy show. Had cancer, oncologist would not get back to me. Thought I may be too weak to stand by time of show. Weeks later oncologist decided no. Show sold out. Did surgery. I got well. They broke up. Ugh. So close.

      Emos respect Gerard Way.... You wouldn't know because you're probably not an emo and never was.
