hearing gerard scream 'wake up' through this huge wall of noisy instrumentation is just the most powerful and haunting thing ever and it never fails to make me cry.
I wasn't even part of the 'emo' movement, or anything even close. I simply thought this band had some of the greatest instrumentation & theatrics I've ever heard. It blows my mind to this day that people could call any of MCR's music "shitty" or "uninspired".
When asked about being labeled emo, Way responded: "Basically, it's never been accurate to describe us. Emo bands were being booked while we were touring with Christian metal bands because no one would book us on tours. I think emo is fucking garbage, it's bullshit. I think there's bands that unfortunately we get lumped in with that are considered emo and by default that starts to make us emo. All I can say is anyone actually listening to the records, put the records next to each other and listen to them and there's actually no similarities." But tell us how you really feel, Gerard? "I think emo's a pile of shit." MCR is not emo
I'M PISSED BECAUSE I FOUND THIS BAND LITERALLY LIKE TWO MONTHS AGO. LIKE, I ALWAYS KNEW THAT I LOVED MUSIC, BUT I NEVER KNEW WHAT MUSIC I LOVED. THEN I FOUND THESE FOUR AND I FOUND IT. TOO LATE. AVAJFHAHDLA
I have never related to something so much in my entire life. I found them two months ago as well and iT'S MAKING ME GO INSANE! I always end up crying while listening to this band because I found them so late. *FOUR YEARS LATE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD* And I always end up thinking that I will never get to see them live, ever if they were still a band today. *Proceeds to pray that the theory about them getting back together in 2019*
OMFG SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMME although I found then around the time you posted this, so, yeah. IM SO LATE! UGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! afkyzagkugewuygf!
My dad lived through the 60's, he was part of the stoner hippie movement and has seen so many classic rock bands in concert. He accompanied me and my bff at the time to an MCR concert during this era and it was the greatest night of my Life. My dad said that it was one of the best shows he's ever seen. It was so theatrical, he's said. Gerard coming out on a stretcher was awesome. He loved it when he thought it was gonna suck

emo unicorn he is screaming wake up but the guitars are so loud you can't hear (like the caos of being dead and someone screaming you to wake up but you can't hear,that's sad)
I’ve been listening to this band and song for years and never noticed Gerard singing along with the guitar around 4:00 like it’s so faint but I just realized it today and this song became even more of my favorite. I know him and ray sing it on the live version but it’s still insane it gave me chills. I just love this band and how thought out everything seems to be.
This song is so underrated. I think it's a well-composed song, and it's actually one of my favourites right now. MCR was a great band, but they've all gone their separate ways. Be happy for the band members.
People say Mama is a haunting tune, I say this is oddly more haunting...I just can't explain why it just has this....atmosphere to it. EDIT: Bro, this comment is 5 years old, how am I still getting replies? EDIT 2: 7 years later and somehow this comment is still getting attention. 6.2k likes on something I typed on a whim as a teen who didn’t know how to explain his feelings all to well is wild. Since then I’ve listened to this song live and let me tell you something: it was worth the COVID. Anyway, see y’all on the 10 year anniversary of this comment and the 20 year anniversary of one of my all-time favorite albums.
They wrote it about the nightmares gee was having and all the creepy stuff that happened while staying at the Paramour Mansion in L.A. It is supposed to have that vibe :)
this song is so incredibly cathartic to me as an ICU nurse who worked through the pandemic and has some trauma from that. the beginning when he talks about his terrors, the lyrics "a drink for the horror that i'm in", just wanting to sleep, the end when he sees flames and people he loves dying, and that he can't ever wake up. his visceral screams at the end. that's how i felt the past 2 years. i'm glad i'm on the other side now but this song always brings back those emotions. i love it so much.

Why does no one ever talk about this song. it's one if the saddest in my opinion (they're all sad to me, but that's aside the point) it makes me cry every time.
I Am also wondering why doesn't anybody ever talk about this song, considering Gerard love it a lot as this is is favorite from the black parade. This song is special to me, since i heard it in my high school days. It's really beautiful.
I'm pretty sure this song is the Patient talking to his mother after the events of Mama, where she said that the death of his brother was his fault and he tells her to leave and maybe attempts suicide because the idea of never waking up is too painful to him, he just wants to get it over with.
MCR is the only band I never get sick of. Their songs are haunting. I listened it countless time but never get bored. One of MCR's fan said good song is timeless yess it's true
"We're sorry, it's over for her" "Over? There's gotta be something that can happen" "Well, there's one thing" *opens phone and calls Gerard Way and the rest of the gang*
Whats incredibly haunting about this song is that towards the end you can faintly here Gerard screaming "Wake Up". When I first heard it I had to stop for a bit and take a break, its insane.
@@sebastienrodin8329 well, because it's meant to be. The thoughts of a dying man about how death will be, how it will feel, and knowing that most probably is like a deep sleep he can't *Wake up*
I'm starting to think that that one person who disliked every single video is actually in the MCRmy but is still mad about the whole no reunion thingy...or a really motivated hater..I mean heck..anyone would have stopped at the first 11 to say the least
(they) They're these terrors (pause) and it's like, feels like as if somebody was gripping my, they're these terrors (inhale)(pause) and it's like, it feels like as if somebody was gripping my throat Like, they're not like tremors, they're worse than tremors, they're these terrors (pause) Like last night, they're not like tremors, they're worse than tremors, they're, they're these terrors (sniff, pause) And it's like, it feels like as if somebody was gripping my throat and squeezing (pause, shaky inhale) and (exhale)... it feels like as if somebody was gripping my throat
This song used to scare the crap out of me. The first time i heard it was on an iPod nano i found at a vintage shop, when i bought it, after it charged i saw it was already loaded with a ton of music i liked at the time from the previous owner, stuff like blink 182, taking back sunday, my chemical romance, etc. And one night i fell asleep with only 1 ear bud in while it was playing. I hadn't heard the black parade album in its entirety at the time yet. I was waken up in the middle of the night and Sleep was playing but since i had only 1 earbud in, i could only hear the beginning dialogue without the piano, and i thought someone was plotting out side of my door through walkie talkies, then the drums kicked in and i was so relieved
having sleep paralysis again, along with false awakenings. i had a hard time sleeping last night because of insomnia. immediately listened to this right after i woke up, this song helped me remove some of the fear i felt. thank you mcr for creating this song, it calms me so much.
While MCR was in a deep sleep, our voices kept screaming and begging them to wake up. And through all of it, it finally got to them. They are back guys. They are back.
I read somewhere that the tape recording at the beginning of this song is Gerard describing the nightmares he had at The Paramour where the band stayed at for a bit while writing The Black Parade. That article changed my perspective on a lot of the songs
This song is truly one of the best songs I have ever heard in my entire life. The way the guitar, the piano, the drums, all of it just blends perfectly. The emotion that they captured in this song is just so raw and pure that it riles me up every time I listen to it. The lyrics hold such a deep meaning, but even if you weren't paying attention to them you would still love the song. I genuinely cannot believe that some people don't like this...
The screaming of “Wake up” towards the end is so haunting and tragic. I needed to take a break from how fucking shocked I was that something like this could ever make me feel that disturbed. This song is a true masterpiece
PLEASE MCR COME BACK WE MISS U!!!!!!!!! You've been making music scene I was 1 yrs old and now I'm almost 15 and my whole school won't stop talking bout u PLEASE COME BACK!!!!
I suffer from anxiety and sleep paralysis and I CAN HEAVILY RELATE TO THIS SONG. I don't know what the true meaning behind this song is but , it hit me. Sometimes when I sleep my mind wakes up before my body and I paralysed and it's so FRIGHTENING. Once it got so severe that my body forgot to breathe and I was SUFFOCATING. I'm so glad I didn't die. MR Gerard way I can so RELATE to this song.
I just want them to come back together. They have left so many if their fans in tears. I won't feel complete with my life if I never get to see them live or see them in another interview or see them upload a new song or at least see them hugging in a picture. MCR, if you guys or at least one of you guys somehow magically read this, please, fucking PLEASE get back together.
This song makes me cry every single time. It's so overwhelmingly amazing and noisy and sad. The voice in the background talking about his night terrors gives me chills, especially when he says "sometimes I see people that I love dying" and "I can't ever wake up." The lyrics are just so sad, especially when he says "how could you cry for me? Cause I don't feel bad about it" and "the hardest part is the awful things that I've seen." The very end makes me the most emotional because he's screaming at himself to wake up from this awful and terrifying nightmare. I will never understand why the haters of My Chemical Romance say that they have terrible sound and lyrics because it's quite obvious that they put so much energy and emotion and effort into the sound and lyrics. I'm just upset that I could never see them live because I've only been a fan for almost 4 years and they've been broken up for 6 years now. Anyways, thank you MCR for your amazing music.
you know the feeling when you finally *hear* a song, even if you've already listened to it for years? I just had that with this and it's fucking beautiful
For days I haven't been able to stop listening to this album just like when it first came out. All the emotion from years past went straight into the delicate masterpiece. And I'm so glad it did
Last night i had my first lucid dream, i was terrified through the whole thing and in an attempt to wake myself up i screamed 'wake up' like Gerard did in this song because it was the only thing i could think of
This is by far the best song on the album. The variation in syncopation of the vocals, the insane build up, and the style fitting in more with their previous albums. It just hits SO HARD. Amazing track, even nearly 20 years later.
Just came to the realization that Gerard sounds different in each album. Like he sounds like Gerard, but he sounds so sad in all of them except Danger Days like he’s just like “sad sad sad sad” and then in Danger Days he’s like “OMG I HAS KID NOW LETS BECOME K-POP AND EMO AT THE SAME TIME!”
TRUE ALSO POSSIBLE THEORY THAT THAT SONG WAS WRITTEN ABOUT THEM POTENTIALALLY BREAKING UP THAT’S WHY I CRY WHEN I HEAR IT AND IT HURTS TO LISTEN TO AND I ALWAYS SKIP IT
Honestly, I'm kinda glad I found this band late. It spared me the sadness of them breaking up. But like, bands breaking up isn't really that bad, things retire eventually y'know? EDIT: FUCK THAT MY CHEM NEW SINGLE JUST DROPPED BANDS GETTING BACK TOGETHER IS THE BEST THING EVER
what if i tolld you i know the full reason for this, and ill be uploading a video about it this month? keep an eye on this comment. i think my video is completely changing to how you interperate this album

Such unfathomably incredible story-telling that kisses the ears, pressures your chest and demands you inhale the entire earth all at once. To this day the greatest rock album of the lifetime for the most of us.

I love that part, its like someone is trynta reach out to the patient telling him you can't die just yet !
Also a message i really need sometimes. Im so sleep deprived I'm living life half-awake sometimes and then I listen to this song to feel better.
This song is me
holy shit I’ve known this song for years and I never noticed that

I wasn't even part of the 'emo' movement, or anything even close. I simply thought this band had some of the greatest instrumentation & theatrics I've ever heard. It blows my mind to this day that people could call any of MCR's music "shitty" or "uninspired".

MCR is not emo
Mcr is not really emo. But yah I can’t believe people call them shitty.
mofomanx10 wait people call then shitty. They must be jealous!
I started listening to mcr waaay before I knew anything about depression/sadness wasn't ever an emo but their music simply resonates with me
5 years ago I posted " wanna sleep, wake me up when MCR comes back". Y'all did it. I'm finally back.
WAKE UP! WAKE UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *end of sleep plays*

That last guitar riff is hauntingly beautiful, and paired with the vocal, "I can't ever wake up," it is made even stronger.
"shut your eyes, kiss me goodbye, and sleep" goodnight MCR.

A drink for the horror that I'm in,
For the good guys, and the bad guys,
For the monsters in our beds
Three cheers for tyranny,
Unapologetic apathy,

I never hear this song before I bought the album and when I heard I was pissed about how I never heard it
It's just so hopeless, both in its lyrics and tone. I find it hauntingly beautiful.

Holy shit!!! I used to listen this song 15 years ago, and listening this now after all these years is giving me shivers!
Imagine waking up from a coma and figuring out MCR broke up
Margo alsksknszzsjsiIsm
id hit my head multiple times with my black parade cd until i get into another coma

NONONONONONONONONONONONNONONONOONNONONONNOOONONNONOONONONNNONNNONONNOONONNNONNOONNONONONONONOON
Shit no
LET ME SLEEP UNTIL THEY WILL COME BACK
This song will always be one of my favorites
twentyone phanjoys OMG your name and profile picture had me shook
An actor as the frontman of true musical artists. Makes a great band. Cant believe it's been 10 years. Still here.
The most underrated song from TBP
Yeah, this and Disenchanted
Skylerstein
The sharpest lives
Dead!
I wonder if Gerard plays this song when he's trying to put his kid to bed???
Bandit would dance to it
I can sleep to this tbh
I fall asleep to The Black Parade and I shower to 3C4SR
Could you imagine being Bandit and him doing this. Just hearing your dad scream SLEEEEP at you
@@sarah-yi4hb
But what if he sings a softer version of it?
It's awkward when you're staying up listening to music and this comes on, it's like you're being told off for being awake😂
It is
This song used to scare the crap out of me. The first time i heard it was on an iPod nano i found at a vintage shop, when i bought it, after it charged i saw it was already loaded with a ton of music i liked at the time from the previous owner, stuff like blink 182, taking back sunday, my chemical romance, etc. And one night i fell asleep with only 1 ear bud in while it was playing. I hadn't heard the black parade album in its entirety at the time yet. I was waken up in the middle of the night and Sleep was playing but since i had only 1 earbud in, i could only hear the beginning dialogue without the piano, and i thought someone was plotting out side of my door through walkie talkies, then the drums kicked in and i was so relieved
gerard way : JUST SLEEP
me: JUST GET BACK TOGETHER
"9-1-1 what's your emergency?"
"MCR BROKE UP AND NOW I NEED IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION BECAUSE I JUST GOT G-NOTED!!!!"
"Um ok"
they are tho

Pleaseeee
That subtle gut wrenching scream at the end saying “WAKE UP” gets me every time
what a time to be alive :)
dad?
your dad I just discovered this today am I to late?
yitosal I discovered this today, yes we are late ;-;
i discovered it like a week and a half ago
Maya Howlter Way I wasn't alive when this can out and I just found out about it WHY
R.I.P Bob 🖤❤🖤
Sleep peacefully forevermore.
having sleep paralysis again, along with false awakenings. i had a hard time sleeping last night because of insomnia. immediately listened to this right after i woke up, this song helped me remove some of the fear i felt.
thank you mcr for creating this song, it calms me so much.
sorry for the grammar/wrong use of words, just wrote this mins after waking up
i listen to this when i'm sad and trying to fall asleep, it helps a lot.
i love this band so fucking much,
i'm so thankful for them.
Same. We've been blessed to have such a band exist in our time.
SAME! they are amazing! hey have helped me SO much. i'm just sad it's over.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS!! I LOVE THAT CLIP!!!!
3:23 i JUST CAN'T OKAY????
While MCR was in a deep sleep, our voices kept screaming and begging them to wake up. And through all of it, it finally got to them. They are back guys. They are back.
Very well said!
this made me feel shit
corny
@@musikluv6 i know i read this again after two years and almost puked 😭
@@nyna3681 HAHA happens to me with my old comments too 😭 dw abt it lol our old Fandom was so cringe
I read somewhere that the tape recording at the beginning of this song is Gerard describing the nightmares he had at The Paramour where the band stayed at for a bit while writing The Black Parade.
That article changed my perspective on a lot of the songs
TO THAT ONE PERSON THAT DISLIKED THIS VIDEO FIGHTTT MEEEEE
Me to
all of the killjoys will be making noise tonight!
On a dance competition
Don't be ridiculous. Obviously someone's finger slipped when they went to like it
ok *pulls out a knife*
This song is criminally underrated, it's my favorite off TBP and from MCR in general.
All these comments saying they're all crying. I feel left out since i can never cry. I'm completely dead.
strider don't worry i can't too
strider Same. When I'm sad I just sit quietly, unable to cry
Same. It's more painful when you can't drown in an ocean of tears. It feels like you're keeping the pain inside.
strider same
It's hard for me too cry as well, this song doesn't make me sad, it's actually pretty comforting... in a a sad way....
This song is truly one of the best songs I have ever heard in my entire life. The way the guitar, the piano, the drums, all of it just blends perfectly. The emotion that they captured in this song is just so raw and pure that it riles me up every time I listen to it. The lyrics hold such a deep meaning, but even if you weren't paying attention to them you would still love the song. I genuinely cannot believe that some people don't like this...
0:32 I love the hook
I wish they'd have made a 'making of' with this one. Who wouldn't love to see Way in the studio, screaming his heart out for the finale. Epic.
this whole song is honestly indescribable. an absolute art piece. this should be in the library of congress
I fucking LOVE the instrumental in this one, the song is so great and so underrated
the funny thing about this song being titled "Sleep" is that MCR songs make me feel so relaxed that I eventually fall asleep
OMG YES!! I listen to their music at night, to help me fall asleep. I end up lip syncing along to it for like an hour, but then I fall asleep
The screaming of “Wake up” towards the end is so haunting and tragic. I needed to take a break from how fucking shocked I was that something like this could ever make me feel that disturbed. This song is a true masterpiece
This band defined my whole early teenage years. I wouldn’t be who I am and probably wouldn’t be alive today without them.
The "ahs" around 4:00 is the reason im breathing tbh
PLEASE MCR COME BACK WE MISS U!!!!!!!!! You've been making music scene I was 1 yrs old and now I'm almost 15 and my whole school won't stop talking bout u PLEASE COME BACK!!!!
I suffer from anxiety and sleep paralysis and I CAN HEAVILY RELATE TO THIS SONG. I don't know what the true meaning behind this song is but , it hit me. Sometimes when I sleep my mind wakes up before my body and I paralysed and it's so FRIGHTENING. Once it got so severe that my body forgot to breathe and I was SUFFOCATING. I'm so glad I didn't die. MR Gerard way I can so RELATE to this song.
I just want them to come back together. They have left so many if their fans in tears. I won't feel complete with my life if I never get to see them live or see them in another interview or see them upload a new song or at least see them hugging in a picture. MCR, if you guys or at least one of you guys somehow magically read this, please, fucking PLEASE get back together.
Skarlet George Fun fact: Mcr have a group chat..
Well look who did a reunion show..
I have to wear uniforms at my school, if we didn't, it would wear all my MCR gear on Monday :(
This song makes me cry every single time. It's so overwhelmingly amazing and noisy and sad. The voice in the background talking about his night terrors gives me chills, especially when he says "sometimes I see people that I love dying" and "I can't ever wake up." The lyrics are just so sad, especially when he says "how could you cry for me? Cause I don't feel bad about it" and "the hardest part is the awful things that I've seen." The very end makes me the most emotional because he's screaming at himself to wake up from this awful and terrifying nightmare. I will never understand why the haters of My Chemical Romance say that they have terrible sound and lyrics because it's quite obvious that they put so much energy and emotion and effort into the sound and lyrics. I'm just upset that I could never see them live because I've only been a fan for almost 4 years and they've been broken up for 6 years now. Anyways, thank you MCR for your amazing music.
how could you cry for me cause I don't feel bad about it.. 💔💔💔💔
Warner bros when they released the teaser
hahag
dont cry, craft!
IM CRAFTING SOOOO HARD RN AHHHHH!!!!!!

they want me to cry....

I don't like the phandom and I don't like Dan and Phil
Genie Wishes well we don't like you so go away
you know the feeling when you finally *hear* a song, even if you've already listened to it for years? I just had that with this and it's fucking beautiful
3:35 to the end has to be my favorite moment of musical composition ever
Sleep
House of Wolves
Disenchanted
The most beautiful yet forgotten songs on The Black Parade.
This is a perfect live set closer, and I am glad midway through this reunion tour they realized it
Sleep....
It’s something I need that’s for sure
it's the repeating "WAKE UP" near the climax for me
This is my favorite MCR song and I finally learned how to play it on guitar. I just love the haunting atmosphere from this song...
The hardest part is letting go of your dreams
This line always gets me
For days I haven't been able to stop listening to this album just like when it first came out. All the emotion from years past went straight into the delicate masterpiece. And I'm so glad it did
1:21 NEW LULLABY JUST DROPPED🔥🔥
Not only does mcr help me cope with depression, but with insomnia as well! God I love these guys
Last night i had my first lucid dream, i was terrified through the whole thing and in an attempt to wake myself up i screamed 'wake up' like Gerard did in this song because it was the only thing i could think of
This is by far the best song on the album. The variation in syncopation of the vocals, the insane build up, and the style fitting in more with their previous albums. It just hits SO HARD. Amazing track, even nearly 20 years later.
Don't mind me. Just crying a river into my bed sheets. It's fine; totally.
same
Don't Cry! CRAFT! !
Mercedes Garcia I'M OKAY NOW, BUT YOU REALLY NEED TO LISTEN TO ME, BECAUSE I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH, I MEAN THIS, I'M OKAY (trust me)
IM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT OKAY, IM OKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
WELL IF YOU WANTED HONESTY THAT'S AAPL YOU HAD TO SAY
this song makes me ascend and the fucking story of the album makes it such much more impactful HOLY FUUUUUUUUCK
This song is underrated. I love belting this out at top volume.
Just came to the realization that Gerard sounds different in each album. Like he sounds like Gerard, but he sounds so sad in all of them except Danger Days like he’s just like “sad sad sad sad” and then in Danger Days he’s like “OMG I HAS KID NOW LETS BECOME K-POP AND EMO AT THE SAME TIME!”
bUt wHAT aBoUt Kids From Yesterday?!
tHAT ONES REALLY SAD
WELL MAYBE HE WAS JUST FEELING SAD WHEN HE WROTE THAT
TRUE
ALSO POSSIBLE THEORY THAT THAT SONG WAS WRITTEN ABOUT THEM POTENTIALALLY BREAKING UP
THAT’S WHY I CRY WHEN I HEAR IT AND IT HURTS TO LISTEN TO AND I ALWAYS SKIP IT
@@aspillust you only hear the music when your heart begins to
_break_
@Mushy Peas
*sobs*
WHY
when the ad before your punk rock song in an album about death is My Little Pony 😂
Eden Ski Quality
Ikr!
Eden Ski this song isn’t punk rock
@@cherrybombangel3358 MCR absolutely is punk rock, as are many emo bands
As someone who likes both MLP and MCR, that would make me smile.
Honestly, I'm kinda glad I found this band late. It spared me the sadness of them breaking up. But like, bands breaking up isn't really that bad, things retire eventually y'know?
EDIT: FUCK THAT MY CHEM NEW SINGLE JUST DROPPED BANDS GETTING BACK TOGETHER IS THE BEST THING EVER
this didnt age well lol
IT MAY'VE AGED LIKE MILK BUT WE MIGHT JUST COME BACK TO MOURN ONCE THEY SPLIT AGAIN!!!
gerard screaming "wake up" at the end is giving me chills 😬😬
what if i tolld you i know the full reason for this, and ill be uploading a video about it this month? keep an eye on this comment. i think my video is completely changing to how you interperate this album

It's because the patient is having pre-death black outs and the parader is screaming for him to be wake up because he can't have him die yet
"Hey, gerard. How do I avoid spreading covid 19?"
Gerard: 0:56
Don't FUCKING breathe on me
this song is a masterpiece. this will always be my favorite mcr song it's so good.
Mcr is so important to me thank you for everything
this song has my whole heart
i always have a hard time picking between this and mama being my favorite
MCR just saved my life.... Again. I can not explain how much I love these guys and they dont even know it.
This one is so underrated. The end is amazing
Such unfathomably incredible story-telling that kisses the ears, pressures your chest and demands you inhale the entire earth all at once. To this day the greatest rock album of the lifetime for the most of us.
mcr is one of the few bands I can't stop loving no matter how much time passes
if you are emo once, you are emo forever.
my dog passed away today. and this was all i listened to.
