Fun Fact: So there is a belief that when you die your favorite memory comes to you in your moment of death. That is what this video and song are about. He's remembering when his father took him into the city and brought him to the parade. I think it's an amazing version of that belief and My Chemical Romance brings it tenfold with a forceful and yet incredible lyrical and musical tribute.

[@adams.george]

True. The whole album was Grammy worthy.

[@jasonbuckley4118]

you're partially right. a dying character with cancer known as "The Patient". The album tells the story of his apparent death, experiences in the afterlife, and subsequent reflections on his life. maybe in another song in the album shows his father taking him to the city to listen to the parade, but its definitely not what this song is about.

[@cameronbowshlagger2722]

Honestly, just do a whole album reaction. Each song fits better and better in the context of the whole album, which I believe is a modern masterpiece, to the likes of Queen's "A Night at the Opera" and Pink Floyd's "The Wall." The album is about a Cancer Patient, "The Patient," who is reflecting on his life and is contemplating what his afterlife is going to be like. The Whole Marching band thing is his biggest memory of going to see a Marching band as a kid, so that's how Death has come to greet him. It's a great, front-to-back album with a lot of different pacings, and an abundance of absolute energy packed rockers throughout.

[@ScottLovenberg]

Unpopular opinion : It's worth noting that this album is amazing, cover to cover, and would be their best had they not released the Danger Days concept album that somehow managed to be more mature than The Black Parade.

[@cameronbowshlagger2722]

@@ScottLovenberg Besides the last part, That's a very popular opinion amongst fans. I very much enjoy Danger Days, but I don't feel that it is more "mature" per se. I feel that the concept and execution of TBP is their pinnacle, and that the content they are Handling, such as in the song "Cancer," is done very well. Almost every person I've seen listen to that song has some connection because they hit it so well and made it very relatable. I feel the whole concept of Death and the Afterlife in TBP is a far more adult and heavier topic to deal with; with the manner they carried "restrained" anger throughout the album from "The Patient's" life, and bring it all to an end in "Disenchanted" and "Famous Last Words" is the prime example of what I've been explaining thus far. The patient's acceptance of his fate displays their own maturity, as they show in their musicality, and their restraint of the whole angry rock/metal vibe they had carried in the majority of the Album. Again, I love Danger Days still, but I don't feel like it hits as "mature" in my opinion. I believe the musical style seemed too experimental and "pop-like" in several songs, to be truly considered as a mature album. I think that the whole "Protectionist" vibe they have in many songs such as "Save Yourself...." is a very mature concept, but It doesn't seem to carry as well and as heavy/relatable as the overall concepts in TBP. "Only Hope.." is in my mind, the most adult song on the list simply because it feels like a "shoot your shot" kind of message at the beginning, and rolls into a nice and sweet song about a relationship. For sake of conversation, we may not agree on which album Is sonically the best, primarily because we may have different tastes slightly, but I will stand by my point of TBP being the more Mature album, with sonically better execution and messaging. (Besides "sleep" because that is just a wall of sound, but that wall of sound is even deep by the patient's subconscious telling him to "Wake up" while being drowned out by the wall of sound.)

@@cameronbowshlagger2722 well articulated response. I think you may have changed my mind on the maturity between the two albums.

Not gonna lie watching someone hear some of these songs for the genuine first time and just loving it is the reason i subbbed and joined patreon. I love when people get introduced to music outside of the normal circle they listen too. I saw these guys waaaaaay back in the day live and they were PHENOMENAL. But you need to keep up doing these genuine reactions man. I know as someone who enjoys music in all genres its nice seeing other people appreciate more music that they've never heard. Keep doing you man

Best reaction ever!!! I keep coming back to it. Such a powerful song!!! Didn’t even realize how great it was until recently and losing my mom. She always helped anyone who needed it even though she didn’t have much herself. We had two “adopted” brothers growing up just boys from a tough situation who needed a safe home and love. Blood does NOT make family! Anyway I carry this on now… “I’m not ashamed I’m gonna show my scars, leave a chair for all the broken, listen here because it’s who we are” ❤️

[@pvtarbuckle05]

MCR is everything to me. They got me through some of the hardest years of my life and a lot of people consider this song to be the emo kid anthem and tbh, they are not wrong. MCR gave a lot of "emo" kids a place to feel safe and understood. This is the very first video of yours I have ever seen and I'm so happy you liked this song. You should listen to more of their songs :) they are great and I am over the moon about the reunion.

[@ThereaalSP]

I AGREE 110%. I couldn’t have said it better myself. The bridge came in as i read this and i shed a tear. I will always remember MCR as the band that gave me a place to belong in a time where i thought i didn’t belong anywhere ❤️

Watching you basically go through the playlist of my youth (MCR, Paramore, Foo Fighters, etc) is the best. Your reactions, when you start getting into it, bring me so much joy. Seeing you start dancing in your seat makes me want to dance. If you're looking for more, one of my favorite MCR songs was "Famous Last Words"

[@MrJ38]

By far one of my favorite songs growing up back in the 2000s

[@faffywhosmilesatdeath5953]

LayedBak: I've never heard of MCR 2000's emo rockers: *spits out coffee in shock* Real talk, the shifts and changes as well as the rock opera flow makes this the clearest example of the their Queen Night At The Opera influence. The rest of the album features very dynamic music. The beat shifts throughout the songs and they rely heavily on effects that can be replicated with strong guitar and drum work. They also use these practical tricks to maintain a naturally dark and intense feeling, at different points they use pick scrapes, dramatic walk downs, and heavy use of the minor key.
