The last chorus when he really lets his voice go. I love it. I can just feel something when i hear Gerard say that last "AND IF YOU CARRY ON THIS WAY"

I'm surprised at how good this song is. I bought this album, not knowing what to expect from the songs other than I'm Not Okay (I Promise) But it's actually a very good CD, and deserves alot of credit.

Whenever I hear this song, I think of the video. It's a good video because of the chick that starts dancing on the aisle until she dies. As for the song, it's good too.

I'm so obsessed with these guys that I've watched the vid enough to know all of the coreography. God I need them. Good song too.

added: 08/08/2005, 11:30 PM

Lrg_dick

You would think that when you make a huge video u could at least comb ur hair. I mean these guys look like they just got out of bed. They should get better girls that r hot to do the dancing.

added: 08/08/2005, 11:40 PM

Somiko

Piss off Lrg_dick. U just don't understand perfection. I don't care what anyone says. They are kewl. Tis perfect.

added: 08/09/2005, 04:28 PM

meandmoreme

Lrg_dick is absolutely right. These guys should question themselves if they are male. They remind me of Michale Jackson. (that isn't kewl). Somiko is just jealous that that she isn't as depressed as these loony tunes.

added: 08/14/2005, 03:59 PM

Somiko

u spelled Michael wrong. Somebody is a smarty. U spelled looney wrong too. U r just jealous because u aren't a whore like Britney Spears. To bad u aren't a chick like me huh. What a LOSER. Long live MCR!

added: 08/14/2005, 04:19 PM

Artad

alright. Lrg_dick, firstly the uncombed hair is kind of trademark to emo-ish bands. secondly this is the only MCR i can listen to without wanting to kill myself (and not in the depressed emo way) this song is mediocere, not bad, not good. I wont remember this later in life. what i will say is that this reminds my of new A.F.I. on estrogen and the lead "singer" looks like a davey havok wannabe. I'm on the fence about MCR. If they come out swinging with a little harder-core sequel i could forgive this as a first attempt at a cd. Helena is still O.K

added: 08/25/2005, 10:17 PM

Somiko

Thank you for sort of seeing my point. They aren't bad or good. They are in the middle. I totally agree. Well...nvm!! I still love them a bit to much. Does that make me seem odd? I'm not asking you Lrg_dick, or meandmoreme. You guys are assholes!!
Helena = GOOD

added: 08/25/2005, 11:23 PM

I really like this song. It's nice to see a good pop band around. Lrg_Dick is prolly a stupid nu-metal'er so don't pay attention to him.

You dont know how right you are. Thanx!! That's 3 me 0 him.

LONG LIVE MCR

Der

I don't like MCR at all, but I like this song. They seem too whiny most of the time, but this song is more an artistic emo than "everything sucks, lets all die". The video was really great too. Not lyrically astounding, not musically mind blowing, but still ok. Too bad the rest are so emo, or I might have liked this band. And Artad's comment about MCR being like a girlier AFI made me laugh so hard. I agree with most of what he said, except about being on the fence. I will never like this band. They are extremely overrated and seem too much like sellouts of emo-ness, just trying to be sad like none of it is genuine. Maybe if they had a different image. So like I said, like the song, dislike the band. cool video though. peace

added: 08/30/2005, 05:59 PM

Xtreme17nc13

I'm a fan of My Chemical Romance. I have been since their first album. This song is good, a bit overplayed, but good. Ghost of You will always be my favorite MCR song, though. And I kind of agree w/ Der. They are kind of whiny, but I still like them. I just don't like their new preppy fans that like them because they're "oh so sexy!". That just pisses me off. Anywho, MCR rocks. Toodlez!

added: 09/02/2005, 12:28 PM

Somiko

The truth is that they are pretty much butt ugly. I really don't care how they look. The can be hot in other ways too. I like guys who wear makeup. Well, the black eyeliner is a nice touch. Plus you guys shouldn't be saying things like that. He wrote this song for his grandmother after she passed away. It isn't being "whiny", he's just showing how depressed he is. I would be too. I bet you guys didn't watch the VMA's on sunday, but at the end of their performance Gerard screams "This is for you Grandma!" He just really cares. That's all. So don't be acting like a bunch of jackasses who think they know everything when they obviously do not. I think you owe them an appology.

added: 09/03/2005, 03:45 PM

Artad

i'm pretty sure gandma never made me think about car crashes, cutting myself or lighting things on fire btu whatever. as for the video. it blows. hard. they could have done so much cool shit with a funeral scene, but no we have Dance of the Butterflies preformed by heavy-makeup-emo-chick. ridiculous. the group dancing thing is okay. also done by AFI (The Leaving Song pt. 2) but the ballerena dance? unacceptable. wow. whoever came up with that idea is one sorry little man. completely missed his chance for a badass funeral video with a killer ending. ouch.

well maybe his grandma was a little different than yours. just don't judge them until you learn more about them. at first i thought that they were mother fucking assholes just TRYING to be cool, but now i know the truth about them. i love them now. they have semi-cleanish souls indeed. good for them. if they read this shit then i just want them to kno that i will stay a true fan always. they need support and they'll get it from me.

you mean like a hooker? cuz i'm sure they hired a hooker to do it. with those fuckin slutty fishnets, and that fuckin gerard always wearing makeup. what kind of a sissy bitch has to wear make-up before he goes out in public. i must disagree with you somiko, and also mention, you are a queer.

added: 09/21/2005, 01:24 AM

truely i don't care wat u think anyways. i'm just defending them cause no one else will. i stand for JUSTICE!!! lol but no i don't dance for anybody... maybe next time...plus how can i be queer?? i dont understand ur foolish attempts to bring me down....whatever...and it's not "naughty" dancing anyways ..lol... and i'm not a hooker..to bad for u guys.......

So maybe I do dress like a whore, but that doesn't mean that you have any right to say things like that. So what if I listen to awesome music that you don't seem to understand. I do what I want because nobody is telling me otherwise. My parents don't seem to mind how I dress, how I talk, or what I do. It's none of your business anyways. Long Live My Chemical Romance!! You are gods!!!!! sexy too if i say so myself...

I think MCR cares too much for image, they try to look emo and depressed and don't really care about music, they should start getting guitars, drums, and bass better (I must admit Gerard sings kinda good), instead of puting on their make up (I like guys with make up, but it doesn't mean they should wear even more make up that I do). I like the way they dance on the video, its good, although I don't like MCR at all.

added: 10/01/2005, 04:07 AM

megioo

to Darrellitta-
MCR doesn't care about image. They care about their music and their fans. They don't try to look emo or depressed. Have you seen interviews of them? Have you seen them live? Their pobably some of the coolest and nicest people ever. And this song actually has meaning to it. Its about his grandma, someone who he cared about very much. And for you to say they care about their image too much....you need to do some more research. Their devoted to their fans and music. I love MCR. I am not saying you should or should change your opinion about them but don't say stuff like that.

added: 10/06/2005, 12:02 AM

Somiko

THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS WHOLE FUCKING TIME!!!! read all the comments people, thats why i'm defending myself and them in my last comment. at least somebody else gets it though.

Why the fuck are you guys having a tiff over MCR's image. Just comment about the song, you love it, or you hate it. This song is just so fucking ENERGETIC, the drum beats in this song is so catchy! The bass pedals, and hitting the snares. Its so fucking perfect all together.

OMG how pathetic... Saw MCR live yesterday, and it was cool. But they played a new song and the chorus was a rip off. Don't know what the song was called but the chorus was excatly like "last cristmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away" just with other lyrics. Me and 2 of my buddies just laughed and sang as loud as we could Last Christmas... and the crowd just looked at us and laughed cause they coul as well hear what a total lame rip off MCR did. Totally 2 thumbs down.

Snakes On A Plane

I really don't give a shit how the fuck they look, because there are millions of other bands that look even more "pathetic" than they do, for a prime example just look at the shitty band Aiden. (Not Maiden, as in Iron Maiden, one of My Chemical Romance's many great influences, because they fuckin' kick some serious ass.) Anyways, about the song... I personally think it's absolutely brilliant, the video just makes it even better, and it is destined to be a classic My Chemical Romance is remembered for years to come. But, of course, as I can already see others strongly disagree with me.

Love Is Insane

My Chemical Romance, not emo. Emo has most personal songs about "oh my god, my life sucks, i shall cut myself." Gerard tells fictional stories in his lyrics... I dont see how it's the same. They're just plain rock with a dark image & stupid followers.

But I love the song.
