My Chemical Romance/Tear Jerker

""'Cause you only live forever in the lights you make When we were young, we used to say That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break Now we are the kids from yesterday...""
 * The first song ever written by Gerard Way and preformed by the band, "Skylines and Turnstiles", was based on the 9/11 tragedy that Gerard witnessed first-hand in New York.
 * Much of The Black Parade Rock Opera about a terminally ill patient, could be considered Deus Angst Machina or even Narm. Nevertheless, "Sleep" really is genuinely sad: "The hardest part is letting go of your dreams".
 * "Mama" can also be particularly wrenching. It's got that *very* My Chem, "and man, am I pissed!", gas-masks-and-angst thing going on - but it's supposed to be at least vaguely about one of the world wars, and the verses that have Liza Minelli in them are... jeez. One doesn't even have to like Liza Minnelli to be affected.
 * "Welcome to the Black Parade" is another. The oddly upbeat melody and lyrics make it worse, not better.
 * Then there is "The Ghost of You". It's a very freakin' sad song, mkay?
 * The video, dear God. Specifically  It can really break one's heart.
 * The song "Cancer". "Because the hardest part of this is leaving you..."
 * Oh god, Cancer. If you've had a relative die from cancer than you really can relate.
 * This video manages to make the Tear Jerker moments from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann even worse by setting them to Welcome to the Black Parade.
 * To all MCR fans, "Early Sunsets Over Monroeville"...if you're not crying halfway through, then you are not a fan. The last 5 seconds just make it so damn SAD...
 * "Disenchanted" is an incredible song, especially the line "It was a lie when they smiled/And said 'you won't feel a thing'". Heartbreaking.
 * There is also "Helena". When you realise Helena was Gerard and Mikey Way's grandmother, it suddenly gets a lot more meaning.
 * "The Kids From Yesterday" is just unbearably poignant.


 * "Desert Song" is another one. So beautiful but so, so sad.
 * The video for "SING" - well the end of it anyway, the rest of the video is Moment of Awesome
 * The end of the Na Na Na video is bad too, considering it sets up the events of SING.
 * If you take a moment to actually listen to the words of "Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back", it becomes quite depressing.
 * The video to SING shows the situation this song is talking about in regards to the storyline of the album;.
 * See also: "Kill All Your Friends", "Cemetery Drive", and worst, "Demolition Lovers".
 * "Famous Last Words" also, and "Cancer" to most fans is this.
 * "The Only Hope For Me Is You"
 * "The Kids From Yesterday" - if you've read a certain scene from "My Immortal".
 * "SING," "Demolition Lovers", "Early Sunsets Over Monroeville", "Skylines and Turnstiles"
 * "Summertime"
 * "Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back"
