My favorite album: The Black Parade, which came out almost a year after my son died, and it helped me get through some nights of true despair, listening to those songs till I fell asleep. I felt like the walking dead that year; part of the Black Parade in spirit.
From the Spin tribute to the album on the tenth anniversary:
“The whole record is really about redemption and kind of picking yourself up no matter what and continuing to live and move on,” he [Toto] told me. That feeling is resonant in the video for “Famous Last Words,” when the band plays in their Black Parade costume, backed by nothing but spewing flames against a dark sky. Toro’s guitar-playing is triumphant and euphonious. Way drops to his knees as he sings and screams, because he’d actually torn his muscles as he fell-another blurring of the lines between real and performed pain. It ends with Way, unadorned, singing into the void for the kids: “I am not afraid to keep on living / I am not afraid to walk this world alone.”

Continuing with the MCR madness here are a few mashups that are pretty brill.
Dr Brixx did a mashup of Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and Gerard Way’s vocals from the MCR song “Welcome to the Black Parade” to create the cruelly titled “My Chemical Romance Is Never Ever Getting Back Together”:
