How can I make my family and my 'friends' (that's if I still have any) understand how much and why My Chemical Romance means to me.
Well I'll tell you first...
MCR means A LOT to me. They tell me that it's alright to not be Okay sometimes when your being bullied and that I'm not alone, because we will all be Okay in the end. Famous Last Words empowers me and encourages me to keep on living when times are getting tough. I can relate to I'm Not Okay and a lyric in Disenchanted (I spent my high school career spit on and shoved to agree) as well as some other songs.
Whenever I listen to them I sometimes have to hold my heart. I know it sounds really weird, but if your listening to such meaningful and beautiful music and it means so much to you that your heart falters and its on the verge of breaking, you'll know what I mean. When I listen to SING I wan to shout every word of the song at the top of my lungs. Singing can mean the loudest of shouts to the softest of whispers or even just standing up to someone who is putting you down and fighting for what you believe in. That's what singing is!
No other genre of music or any other band's music speaks to me on such a level that it provokes an emotion, a feeling that's so strong, so vivid it has meaning to me. Not only does MCR create their own little worlds with the stories they tell through their music that can relate to our real world, they create a felling, a movement, an army.
Every single time I put on my headphones, turn on my ipod and press play on an MCR song, it's like listening to them for the first time over and over again, picking up different sounds and meanings almost every time. Like I have new ears and falling in love with them more each time.
When I was nine years old, at my cousins house, in November watching MTV, Welcome To The Black Parade starts to play. I think to myself 'This is pretty awesome. I like it!' the song info comes up on the screen, I read My Chemical Romance. I did even look them up on the internet after that (don't hate me). Back then, I didn't fully understand what music really was so I let them go. Fast forward to November 2010, same place, same TV channel SING starts playing. I'm thinking 'Hey... These guys look familiar. I've seen them before.' song info comes up. 'OMG!!! I know them!They are so cool!' that day I actually looked them up on my computer and felling in love with them and their music. So I bought their albums and listened to them ever since. You can kinda say it was meant to be. :)
Stay safe. Stay beautiful. Keep it ugly.
