Gerard way is an insanely talented lyricst, singer and is incredible about making people feel about them selves with their gender identity / sexuality. He's perfect.
Is anybody else just, like, physically unable to listen to this song without crying? Like, every time I think I'm gonna make it, I lose it at "this just ain't living". Every single time.
yup, 'this just ain't living' also got me. the lyrics are beautiful: eventhough (hopefully) u can live longer by chemo, but that ain't living-constant nausea, vomiting n hair loss T^T
somehow I think the other members were supposed to play at some time during the song but they suddenly realised how amazing it sounded just the piano and the voice and they were like: ... let it go. Internally they all agreed.
(I actually sat in front of my laptop for 3 hrs straight just to correct new killjoys' comments and I know I shouldn't be so triggered but fk i rly miss this band) SO ACTUALLY the boys never played during this song at all, it's kind of a tradition thing where they ended most of their parade era shows with Gee being the only one on the stage and singing Cancer.
Same here :( My dog had to be put to sleep 2 weeks ago at night. I wasn't there and my cell phone was dead. I slept while he was dying and I never saw him again. He had an undiscovered tumor that burst and he slowly bled to death inside. I can't stop crying over him and I restart crying every time I hear this, but I can't stop listening to it.
My bunny was put to sleep early in the morning on December 23 2014. He had a heart condition that he had shown no signs of until it was too late. Not one of my favorite days, as he was my first pet and I spent most on my day huddled in my room listening to mcr and crying.
Stephenie Kutcher ha damn, had the "same" thing with my cat. She was very sick, in health care at the vet, and I went to see her every two days. One day after work, I went there, she was not reacting or anything, just eyes opened, almost sleeping. The morning after, the vet called me to tell me she was gone. I always imagine that she survived one more day just so I could go see her one last time. Damns pets, we love them so much.
I feel like poor Gee and Mikey had to wear sunglasses because they knew they were going to cry. In the beginning it almost sounds like Gee is choking back tears and it breaks my heart to hear this. The way I see it is, Gerard Way, the sassy killjoy and Mikey, the adorable, sparkly puppy, probably can't hear this song without crying... Poor babies...
+How is this Chloe I actually read something that said they wanted to write the darkest song ever, as a very in-your-face way of addressing cancer. But you might be right.
To alL NEW KILLJOYS: this has nothing to do with crying. If you are aware, the reason MCR broke up was that after the "black parade is dead" era Gerard and Mikey got addicted to alcohol (and probably drugs) again. Till 2004 Gee used to wear sunglasses whenever he was drung or high so this may be the reason. Well for the choking sounds, his voice is really just made for higher-pitched songs and singing with your body in a loose position is even harder. PLEASE STOP SPREADING UNCONFIRMED RUMORS, IT'S TOTALLY DISRESPECTFUL AND ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY OUR SMOL BEANS R TERRIFIED OF GOOGLING THEMSELVES. Ok have a nice day
This song always makes me think of my daddy. He died almost two years ago, and I could never EVER listen to this song w/o crying, especially when "But counting down the days to go, this just ain't living." comes up, because my dad never not once complained about his immense pain, but you could see in his eyes how he felt. But he was always SO cheery. He was the one slowly dying, slipping out of my fingers for almost three years and he had to comfort me. He was my best friend. RIP Dad, love you
The black parade was a geniues of an albumn , because it covered death , with powerfull music and lyrics . And gerrard is the ultimate frontman dark passionate, sexy. I don’t think that albumn will ever be beaten .ever .
Same, my grandma and my teacher both have cancer. My teacher, she's the sweetest person I've ever met and has been there for me through some really tough times
Turn away, If you could get me a drink Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded Call my aunt Marie Help her gather all my things And bury me in all my favorite colors, My sisters and my brothers, still, I will not kiss you, 'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you. Now turn away, 'Cause I'm awful just to see 'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body, Oh, my agony, Know that I will never marry, Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo But counting down the days to go
i don’t recall ever hearing this song before, if i did i wasn’t paying much attention to the words i do that often when listening to music, i’ll focus more on the melody than the lyrics, don’t know why it played on the music mix at Grape Ape Tattoo & Gallery when i was getting inked up recently, i asked the name of the band i wasn’t paying much attention to the words then either, i was enjoying the soothing melody plus when i’m getting a tattoo i’m in a relaxed state of mind, kinda like a meditative trance, almost dozed off during a couple of my tats driving across town yesterday i asked siri to play mcr, after a couple songs this one played and i immediately recognized the melody i was quite surprised when i saw the name of the song on my dashboard display, i listened closely to the words this time, boy did i listen, it hit home hard almost too hard it resonates so closely what i’ve been feeling and have expressed before, i’m not afraid to die what i fear most is saying goodbye “cause the hardest part of this is leaving you”
ohh man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just cannot get enough of these guys@!!!!!! and to think of the thousands of shows I have been too.., NOT ONCE DID I GET TOO SEE THEM this makes me so sad!!!
It was so unexpected when they played this in Australia this year. As soon as those notes began, Niagra falls poured out of my eyeballs. Such a beautiful song.
I can admit I might not be a die hard fan of all their songs (I am of most of them) but I am definitely a die hard fan of this band and the people in it.

Gerard: "This song's called Cancer"
Friend: **hears Gerard** "This song *is* cancer"
I officially have no friends.
I mean you have us
I pooped my pants
This made me miss my dog, Brandy, more than I realized....she had to be put to sleep in 2005 because of cancer. And I never got to say goodbye
Same here :( My dog had to be put to sleep 2 weeks ago at night. I wasn't there and my cell phone was dead. I slept while he was dying and I never saw him again.

Stephenie Kutcher These comments broke my heart even more. I'm so, so sorry for your lost.
Stephenie Kutcher my dog's name is Brandy too but its still alive and in good condition im sorry for your loss

@How is this Chloe... WELL THANKS FOR THAT.
+Marvelous Mary I unfortunately don't, but my friend thinks that their grandmother Elena, (Helena was named after her) died of cancer.
+How is this Chloe I actually read something that said they wanted to write the darkest song ever, as a very in-your-face way of addressing cancer. But you might be right.

No, their Grandmother did not have cancer. I don't know what she had but I know she died due to complications when she was having a heart surgery.
the first line he sings i can hear the emotion in his voice and i cant handle it
This song always makes me think of my daddy. He died almost two years ago, and I could never EVER listen to this song w/o crying, especially when "But counting down the days to go, this just ain't living." comes up, because my dad never not once complained about his immense pain, but you could see in his eyes how he felt.

RIP Dad, love you
In the acoustic version, Gerard's voice is so beautifully audible, all the voice vibrations, Oh my God!
this song was so eerie. I miss these boys as a band so much.
Joseph Adolph same....
We don’t have to miss them anymore!!!!!! :,)
guess what
:)
this song always makes me think of my nana who died of cancer in 2009
how can gerard smile after this emotional song
i would be crying my heart out :'3
I like how this music goes from all soft to all loud then soft.... :')
The black parade was a geniues of an albumn , because it covered death , with powerfull music and lyrics . And gerrard is the ultimate frontman dark passionate, sexy. I don’t think that albumn will ever be beaten .ever .
My Forever favorite MCR song
Listening to this after finding out your grandmother has cancer hurts in ways words can't express.
Same, my grandma and my teacher both have cancer. My teacher, she's the sweetest person I've ever met and has been there for me through some really tough times
I find it funny how both the Ways are wearing sunglasses.
No Way
It's to hide them crying
Ray and Frank boppin their heads in sync (:
whoever disliked this must be deaf
yup
remember they still sing it for the deaf
+Eli McAdams You are my favorite person tonight.
No, demons have working ears
@@froggymac10 Sing it for the blind, and everyone you left behind
I love this version so much.
Jughead Bughead me too

Oh my god. I started crying at "Now Turn Away.." So beautiful. I can't even explain.
Re-watches the first 8 seconds a thousand times over! LOOK AT RAY BEING AN ADORABLE BEAN MAKING SURE GEE IS OKAY!!!!!!
Love the thumbs up gee and ray gives to each other at the start XD
Why did this have to be so beautiful?
no of course I'm not crying just sweating from my eyes
I was not expecting Gee's hand at 2:26 to make me feelsy .-.
Im in tears
im hysterical crying and then i think to myself.... what the hell are Gerard's glasses
Turn away,
If you could get me a drink
Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you.
Now turn away,
'Cause I'm awful just to see
'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body,
Oh, my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
I'M GONNA CRY BRB
At the end Ray is just like clapping for Gerard Yay that was great Gerard I love being your guitarist yay!
I haven't even lost anyone from cancer but I still cry every time listening to this amazing song
I love this song so much
I love this song so much..
this is one of my FAVORITE studio versions of cancer. gerard slight rasp makes this performance so much note emotional
"I'd ask you to be true"... Great lyric... I just cried.
cause the hardest part of this is leaving you.
I’m not crying. You’re crying. I’ll be 30 next year and their music still gives me shivers…
haha I love how gerard seems all proud of him self at the end "thank you guys :D" haha
This is perfect. My ears are so happy even though my heart is being torn to pieces.
"coz the hardest part of this...is living you.." this is really a master piece
*leaving you* god dammit *leaving you*
Ugh this song makes me cry every time I listen to it
This is such a beautiful version of this song. Definitely one of the best acoustic sets they've done so far.
i don’t recall ever hearing this song before, if i did i wasn’t paying much attention to the words
i do that often when listening to music, i’ll focus more on the melody than the lyrics, don’t know why
it played on the music mix at Grape Ape Tattoo & Gallery when i was getting inked up recently, i asked the name of the band
i wasn’t paying much attention to the words then either, i was enjoying the soothing melody
plus when i’m getting a tattoo i’m in a relaxed state of mind, kinda like a meditative trance, almost dozed off during a couple of my tats
driving across town yesterday i asked siri to play mcr, after a couple songs this one played and i immediately recognized the melody
i was quite surprised when i saw the name of the song on my dashboard display, i listened closely to the words this time, boy did i listen, it hit home hard almost too hard
it resonates so closely what i’ve been feeling and have expressed before, i’m not afraid to die what i fear most is saying goodbye “cause the hardest part of this is leaving you”
This gives me goosebumps every time!
This song allways gives me goosebumps! O.o
Amo su voz. Amo la canción, amo a la banda y lo amo a el
He has an amazingly angelic voice...
ohh man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just cannot get enough of these guys@!!!!!! and to think of the thousands of shows I have been too.., NOT ONCE DID I GET TOO SEE THEM
this makes me so sad!!!
It was so unexpected when they played this in Australia this year. As soon as those notes began, Niagra falls poured out of my eyeballs. Such a beautiful song.
Sumptuously! I love this song so much. Gerard is the best !!!
Love this song!
His voice is addicted to me. So unique
Gerard: " and how? "
ray: " its okay gee, its okay"
Gerard: " Okay? uff, thanks"
This song makes me think of you and people having to go through this, and its just this heartache...I feel for you, I really do..
i think this is the best version - that piano (with Gee's vocals of course) just killed me :'(
This song is so beautiful. It perfectly transmit the feeling of a person who is sick and their fear of leaving all the people that they love.
love this song so much :))
I love how pleased he looks with himself at the end.
YOU SHOULD FEEL PLEASED, GERARD, THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
These guys rock!!
WOW. I've always loved this song, but this version is AMAZING. Paired with me reading something sad while listening to it this is too much.
THE STRENGTH IN HIS VOICE IM
I miss you guys! please come back! 😢😢😢
"In all my favorite colors" that was so gentle omg gonna cry
Perfect band
Amazing voice!
Awesomely awesome.
Lindo sem defeitos ❤
i miss them :''' ,please back My Chemical Romance
The piano arangement is beautiful :')
OMG amazing! You can truly hear the agony in his voice, and the song is even more powerful than the studio version!
"Cause the hardest part of this is leaving u" 😭😭😭
Lyrics are genius.most ironic thing I've heard.
My heart died at 1:53
My heart died at 0:00
I love when everyone starts cheering, Gee blushes and say thanks guys. So cute
i love this song, i love mcr i love all u.u
Gee is so cute at the end "Thanks guys"(;
I love this song.
I cried :'( so beautiful
Okay, That made me cry like a baby!!!! *still crying*

Gerard looks like Bob Dylan if Bob Dylan lived in Mars xD

btw. MyChem are amazing as rock band and now... wow those acoustic version of their songs are..beautiful too !
I cried, not even a little. First note hit and it started.
Gerrard Way in this video reminds me of Layne Staley when Alice in Chains did the acoustic session on MTV
símplemente lo mejor
omg. sooo emotional :'( :'( i love this though. his voice
I can admit I might not be a die hard fan of all their songs (I am of most of them) but I am definitely a die hard fan of this band and the people in it.
