Gerard Way: My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die. It is alive in me, in the guys, and it is alive inside all of you.
I don’t know about you. But it feels cloudy these past weeks since news broke out of MCR breaking up.
On the plus side, Gerard‘s getting really active on Twitter.
Honourable mentions:
To be honest, I cannot remember much of what happened in the first half of the year except that I was really into My Chemical Romance and The Script (they came to Singapore!!!). Now, at the end of the year, I can tell you Foster The People‘s album, Torches, has made quite an impression on my eardrums. 😉
Take That re-emerged onto my iPod after they contributed to the end credits of X-Men: First Class. Elsewhere, the introduction of the Warblers on Glee Season 2 brought Darren Criss – his amazing form and voice – to our eyes and ears! I’ve never been this excited about a new character before.

Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what’s the worst to take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I’ve been holding on tonight
What’s the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what’s the worst to take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I’ve been holding on tonight
What’s the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We’ll meet again when both our cars collide?
What’s the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
I teared up while watching this.
OMG these MCR fans are amazing.
MCR is amazing.
YES!!! It’s finally out!
The MV was filmed on February 24th 2011, at the O2 Academy, Islington. OMG I’m so captivated by the energy inside there, I wanna be there!
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, PLEASE COME TO SINGAPORE!
Sing it for the boys
Sing it for the girls
Every time that you lose it, sing it for the world
Sing it from the heart
Sing it till you’re nuts
Sing it out for the ones that’ll hate your guts
Sing it for the deaf
Sing it for the blind
Sing about everyone that you left behind
Sing it for the world, sing it for the world
Woohoo! My Chemical Romance won Best International Band and Best Video for Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2011!
“Thank you so much, so much for believing in us, for voting for us. We’ll never stop believing in you.”
– Gerard Way, on accepting the Best International Band award
“Don’t ever let the media tell you what your body’s supposed to look like. You’re beautiful the way you are. Stay beautiful and keep it ugly.”
– Gerard Way, on accepting the Best Video award
Gerard Way!
OMG!
Heard MCR rocked the Wembley Arena last night, or rather the night of 12 February 2011 (London time). Maybe that’s why he was trending on Twitter?
Here’s the setlist of the night:
And they performed Vampires Will Never Hurt You, which apparently, hasn’t been performed live since 2005? I don’t know about you, but I’ve been replaying this video since I saw it.
Vampires Will Never Hurt You:
Teenagers:
We’re damned after all
Through fortune and flame we fall
And if you can stay then I’ll show you the way
To return from the ashes you crawl
Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me
