my grandfather came across as part of the support troops after D-Day since he was cook, and saw the aftermath.. and after the war was a bartender when he came home, never the same and listened to veterans at the bar for 40 years because they had no where else to go.
Back when MTV was still relevant and played videos, this music video came on one morning when I was staying with my grandmother for a few days. I’d never seen her cry before but she shed tears watching this video....For context, my grandma was engaged to a man who died in WW2. These emotions are what music is all about.
Matt, my mom's dad fought at Bastogne. This song makes me remember him all the time and he did come home. He never once talked about it, we only knew more about his service through his service record and personal photos.
I never said I'd lie and wait forever If I died, we'd be together I can't always just forget her But she could try At the end of the world or the last thing I see You are never coming home, never coming home Could I? Should I? And all the things that you never ever told me And all the smiles that are ever, ever Ever get the feeling that you're never all alone? And I remember now At the top of my lungs in my arms, she dies She dies At the end of the world or the last thing I see You are never coming home, never coming home Could I? Should I? And all the things that you never ever told me And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me Never coming home, never coming home Could I? Should I? And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me If I fall, if I fall down Woah, woah, woah, woah Woah, woah, woah, woah At the end of the world or the last thing I see You are never coming home, never coming home Never coming home, never coming home And all the things that you never ever told me And all the smiles that are ever going to haunt me Never coming home, never coming home Could I? Should I? And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me For all the ghosts that are never gonna Source: Google
I used to listen to this song in high school. My big brother left for afghanistan in 2011. He did come back home, but not really. A part of him died out there, and his body followed two years after. I miss you kane
The fact that Gerard's pupil shrank in shock like that at the end is proof alone how much soul went into making these. That's not just something you 'force' out and it gets me every time.
Exactly! It kinda reminds me of that one part in filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, where Fred dies and of course George is just devastated, but their actors were seriously really emotional because you can't just watch your closest friend die like that. Like after they finished the scene and the cameras were off, George's actor was literally crying
@@kanedgytheguy8105 Almost. First incarnations of Fender Precision Basses were invented in early 1950s, so it would have been more historically correct if they used Audiovox 736, one of the first bass guitars ever, which came out in 1935. Or they could say "Fuck it" and use a regular upright bass like everybody does.
@@Niedergauss yeah just remembered that WWII was in the 30s and 40s because the video looks like its from the 50s. I already knew the history of basses playing them myself
Lost my dad a couple days ago, he was only 58 and he fought his illnesses like hell for almost 20 years, this song is perfect for my mood right now, he should be here and I held his hand when the time came, having to walk away was the worst, this song resonates with me now…I miss you dad.
Sorry for you're loss, he will live forever in your memories and in your heart. We might not know each other but i love you and you will get thru it :(
This is probably one the greatest underrated music videos of all time. The cinematography alone is mind blowing, but Gerard's acting is top notch to say the least
Dont thing is crazy thing who edit that video.. (that normal) Bcouse i am do it before.. :) Is normal.. How to do it? 1st you need to learn how to edit real pple to become anime or cartoon if you get is so close to do.. But a last bring 3d cartoon characters to bcome real pple.. Is a bit hard.. but if you can do.. you totally do what i am do :)
@JestWett the whole thing, except for the last few seconds, is most played because people are mostly listening to the whole song the whole way through n.n not just the first second
Dude.... What do I even say about this video and the song? The video really goes into depth about storming the beach of Normandy. It's just crazy that a band that targets the audience of teen's can just reenact something like this. Not only is the video historic, emotional, awsome, accurate and in depth, but the song is all of those things and more. This is honestly the best MCR song in my opinion.

The 90s and 2000s were an unbelievable time for music
truly sad if you think about it men and women go out to fight for their country only to get told that they might not come home the ones that do have to or had to go through something similar to hell to come back

As somebody who has aspirations of directing.... This is bog standard. It's just Saving Private Ryan copied shot for shot. Why the hell do people on the internet exaggerate so often?
The older I get the more I realize that our elders always knew this well, but it's not something you can express with words and really have a child understand. Now we will be the elders.
This is one of the best and emotional music videos. I think I was about 17. I got my grandpa who was in the war to listen to it first. He seemed to like it, strangely. He asked if there was a video for it. Reluctantly I showed it to him. It hit him hard but he appreciated our generation still admired them enough to include it in "new kids music". To show respect. His words. I then later cried because seeing his hard ass cry to a music video I already cried to was just too much. He's gone now. But I think of his cool badass self everyday.
I understand, I lost my Grandfather a long time ago, and I still think of him. He was a part of that generation, and some of his last words to my mother before dying of cancer were: "What was the point to all of this?" He had a much greater right than most to ask that question.
@@tylerp3327 he did say his grandpa appreciated the current generations respect for all that occurred in his generation. There is a level of respect that goes into making these kinda music videos real and powerful too. I think MCR nailed it and I think his grandpa appreciated the realness, even if it brought up hard memories. He asked if there was a video for a reason don't you think? If the man lived to tell his stories and asked to see the music video I would be reluctant too, but id still respect his choice. you dont know how much it could have meant to him, even if it hurt. MCR respected his fight with this music video and I hope thats what he got from it. May he rest in peace. I salute you till I see the grave myself
How many girls did your grandpa rape? It is very common among male soldiers in war. Especially since they dont get punished for it. Still not gonna respect soldiers. F the military. ASAB
My brother passed overseas from a landmine in April 2009. A few months later, this video was released and I’ll NEVER forget the first time I watched it. I was crying uncontrollably and now, all these years later, this song and video move me to tears. I was also lucky enough to actually visit Omaha beach where this scene is mirrored from a few years later. Absolutely eerie and a true breathtaking experience. Love you bro and miss u to this day ❤🥺
The pain this song reflects is timeless. Its haunting and horrifically beautiful. Its no wonder this video has comments from the video's release to any "present" year. Shit still hurts to listen to. It's not just a song as you can hear it in Gerard's voice. This is what art is supposed to do. Masterfully done
Fun fact: the scene where Mikey gets killed could only be filmed twice, because it made Gerard break down too much. Same thing with the Weasley twins in Harry Potter.
the worst part about it is that he actually wasn’t acting, and couldn’t bear to see his brother like that despite it only being for the video.. 😔😔 thus they could only do 2 takes bc he was breaking down too much
Legit I did start crying. Because, holy crap I can’t imagine what it feels like to lose a brother or sister. Or hell have to actually watch them as they die. Such a great video.
This Song: ·Is Awesome and No one ever talks about it ·Adresses Wartime PTSD ·Pays Homage to WW2 Vets and Fallen Warriors ·Is a Cinematic Masterpiece ·Adresses Veteran alcoholism to cope due to the lack of PTSD support for Veterans
if you haven't heard it, check out Wrong Side of Heaven - Five Finger Death Punch... it is an amazing song full of meaning, cinematic masterpiece that addresses the lack of veteran supports...
Chad Olson ..it's actually saved so many teens.. that was the main point .. to remind the parents and leaders of what this brought and a warning to the new generation..
2019 and I'm still stuck here. This song is literally never going to die. Edit: It’s 2020 and I’m still here. Definitely never going to die. Edit2: oh lord it’s 2021 and I’m still here!
14 лет с момента выхода клипа. Более 13 лет с момента, как я впервые его увидела. Я успела закончить школу и институт, похоронить жениха и лучшую подругу, трижды побывать в онкологическом центре, сменить два места работы и в корне изменить свои взгляды на жизнь. Но этот клип, как и сама песня, заставляют меня пустить слезу как в первый раз.
jesus, i forget the kind of money record labels used to have just lying around to throw at an emo band's THIRD music video to a SINGLE album. the production quality is insane, the number of actors, costumes, it's so polished visually. crazy. different times.
Over a million dollars were spent on the video, which is crazy for the time. Even crazier, though, is that Michael Jackson and Duran Duran were both spending that back in the 80s.
@@heretustay the music industry is utter shit now. Nobody's doing this kinda cool art now. As im in a band rn and all my producers are just telling us to make eps and singles and don't even worry about music videos anymore because its too hard to get discovered. Its just a hard time for bands rn.
@@PixxiePlays oh yeah bud, i know it. currently on band number 4, and the last one we had already transitioned to only doing singles and eps released on spotify and bandcamp because all our listeners were mostly college kids. wouldnt even dream of releasing anything physical w/o support from a label, and even then it's risky. i know we've lost a lot on the way, but the bright i see to the internet music proliferation is that its all just so accessible. it is hard to get noticed, but if someone wants to hear one thing in particular, they can find it. thats pretty cool, i think.
My oldest brother was in the military so like watching this video makes me cry harder than it should, not seeing him for almost 4 years straight and constantly worrying..
This was so freaking intense, especially when the dance floor becomes the warzone and when Gerard is screaming for mikey.... And when the realisation hits him that his brother is dead.... Oh god.... This is phenomenal
October 26th 2009. 15 years ago today this video was uploaded. But I remember listening to this in highschool as a kid. Thank you MCR for all the good memories and guidance. RIP to all the veterans. Emo lives on
Give gerard an Oscar for acting. Though i think he actually made himself believe it happened amd didnt act. Like the behind the scenes he legit screamed his name. That hurt me ouch.
elisavet that’s literally what acting in the highest form is, reacting, if you ever go to a play and maybe some movies where a character breaks down, it’s probably because the actor/actress found something that truly evolved those emotions and built on it.
What hurt me most was when mikey told that his favorite part was dying, G was serious, at some point I thought he would get mad or something, even though we don't know what did he told his brother behind the behind-the-scenes
Tbh I think it should have been added because since there going for the accuracy I'm probs sure that happened at one point in the actual war, friends yelling n crying for them being lost
This song brings people into reality. We all hear the songs about soldiers coming home, all the happy things. This one says what others dont want to believe. Soldiers do die. Soldiers do give their lives for our country. Soldiers do the things others cant do. This song sheds light on the dark side of the world, the side we wish to not believe in. But that side is real. Its sad, yes, but its true. Not all soldiers come home. Some dont make it. Some dont get to come home. Some gave all.
Yeah sometimes it’s happy when soldiers come back I mean some of them get PTSD and that’s terrible. It’s also sad that there are some idiotic people who don’t care that our soldiers died for them. But I agree with you in everything you said up there
Great point and well said! And I feel like the lyrics to this song go beyond dying in combat and really resonates with having ptsd. Because even when soldiers return they are more like shells of who they were before the war and are haunted by the ghosts of war. When you serve with these men and women they become your family and when you lose them horrifically in front of your eyes you become forever haunted by those moments. Once you get out of service all you have is time and that time leads to replaying those moments over and over in your head.
Yes, thats a very good point too. I have a friend, and for them that is true. He is an extremely nice person, but they kind of are like a shell of who they were. So yeah, thanks for bringing that up too!
I know right I cry every time especially when I see Gerard's face at 3:18 it's so sad 😭 this song also makes me think of the break up in a way so that makes me cry even more 😭
I been listening to this for so damn long. I've gone thru every phase in life with this song always touching my spirit in a crazy way. Greatest music video of all time. Especially with the way the world is now. R.i.p. all soldiers of all sides defending their home and loved ones
Every time Mikey dies in this video I cry.... Cause Gerard is so great at acting like his brother really did die during this.... I never cry but for some reason this hits hard cause I almost can feel what it would be to lose my brother I never would be able to live without my baby brother....
Thanks Angelica....I came back.....but never really did until recently. People just don’t get it. I pulled numerous deployments cause I kept volunteering, I didn’t know anything else and I didn’t wanna come back unless it was a body bag. I had numerous friends lost overseas that came back in body bags. Lost my best friend the first deployment, grew up together and went through boot camp together, A school and stationed together. People here don’t see what we see, people don’t wanna see it. People don’t understand that we do things we don’t wanna do. We do it anyways....1988-2001 was my time of enlistment. Signed a tired old combat medic

Isn't it crazy how the older we get, the more we appreciate the things we grew up with
Real definition of a fine wine
Why is that crazy?
The older I get the more I realize that our elders always knew this well, but it's not something you can express with words and really have a child understand. Now we will be the elders.
I was never a fan of this band. Never listened to their songs back then. But now im 34. Yeah this would be my favorite MCR song
I have always appreciated art, even when I was more naive and immature. This is beautiful.
This is one of the best and emotional music videos. I think I was about 17. I got my grandpa who was in the war to listen to it first. He seemed to like it, strangely. He asked if there was a video for it. Reluctantly I showed it to him. It hit him hard but he appreciated our generation still admired them enough to include it in "new kids music". To show respect. His words.
I then later cried because seeing his hard ass cry to a music video I already cried to was just too much.
He's gone now. But I think of his cool badass self everyday.
they where the greatest generation
I understand, I lost my Grandfather a long time ago, and I still think of him. He was a part of that generation, and some of his last words to my mother before dying of cancer were: "What was the point to all of this?" He had a much greater right than most to ask that question.
@@tylerp3327 he did say his grandpa appreciated the current generations respect for all that occurred in his generation. There is a level of respect that goes into making these kinda music videos real and powerful too. I think MCR nailed it and I think his grandpa appreciated the realness, even if it brought up hard memories. He asked if there was a video for a reason don't you think? If the man lived to tell his stories and asked to see the music video I would be reluctant too, but id still respect his choice. you dont know how much it could have meant to him, even if it hurt. MCR respected his fight with this music video and I hope thats what he got from it. May he rest in peace. I salute you till I see the grave myself
How many girls did your grandpa rape? It is very common among male soldiers in war. Especially since they dont get punished for it. Still not gonna respect soldiers. F the military. ASAB
Thank you for sharing that.
My brother passed overseas from a landmine in April 2009. A few months later, this video was released and I’ll NEVER forget the first time I watched it. I was crying uncontrollably and now, all these years later, this song and video move me to tears. I was also lucky enough to actually visit Omaha beach where this scene is mirrored from a few years later. Absolutely eerie and a true breathtaking experience. Love you bro and miss u to this day ❤🥺
Condolences! 🥀
My condolences. 🫂 🌼
This came out in 2004. It was uploaded to RUclips in 2009.
@7daysoflove I’m sorry for your loss 😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Imagine going to war and your battle buddy is Gerard
The pain this song reflects is timeless. Its haunting and horrifically beautiful. Its no wonder this video has comments from the video's release to any "present" year.
Shit still hurts to listen to. It's not just a song as you can hear it in Gerard's voice.
This is what art is supposed to do. Masterfully done
1:28 still one of the best and most powerful transition effects in all music video history

When Mikey died you could see how Gerard wanted to run over to him.But the soldiers had to hold him back so he wouldn't die. That killed me man.

Ryan's Cheez Whiz same I'm still crying
Amy Whitham yeah
emo kid915 ;_;
IT WAS SO SAD 😿😿😿
You can see Gerard calling mikeys name that makes me wanna cry
the worst part about it is that he actually wasn’t acting, and couldn’t bear to see his brother like that despite it only being for the video.. 😔😔 thus they could only do 2 takes bc he was breaking down too much
cherry isverycool seriously? Cause I was about to say it's great acting but it looked to good...
Legit I did start crying. Because, holy crap I can’t imagine what it feels like to lose a brother or sister. Or hell have to actually watch them as they die. Such a great video.
Yes v much so

@funpoisonn after she wanted my dad to crash the cuz cuz I wasn’t wearing my seatbelt and straight up said that she hated me........yeah..........
80 years since mikey died. i remember it like it was yesterday
This Song:
·Is Awesome and No one ever talks about it
·Adresses Wartime PTSD
·Pays Homage to WW2 Vets and Fallen Warriors
·Is a Cinematic Masterpiece
·Adresses Veteran alcoholism to cope due to the lack of PTSD support for Veterans
if you haven't heard it, check out Wrong Side of Heaven - Five Finger Death Punch... it is an amazing song full of meaning, cinematic masterpiece that addresses the lack of veteran supports...
Chad Olson damn thats deep and very observant of you
Not a fan of the music in the slightest, but I'd be the biggest liar if I didn't agree with you on the other points.
Yes, Yes, and YES.
Chad Olson ..it's actually saved so many teens.. that was the main point .. to remind the parents and leaders of what this brought and a warning to the new generation..
I cried when i saw Gerard screaming " MIKEY MIKEY NO MIKEY " when he died ( Also Gerards hair gives me life )
The actual look of terror in his eyes makes me actually die inside
I JUST LISTEN TO THE FIRST PART THEN REMEMBER THAT PART AND IMMEDIATELY CRY LITERAL OCEANS WORTH
I cry throughout the whole video
I cried the whole time

14 лет с момента выхода клипа. Более 13 лет с момента, как я впервые его увидела. Я успела закончить школу и институт, похоронить жениха и лучшую подругу, трижды побывать в онкологическом центре, сменить два места работы и в корне изменить свои взгляды на жизнь. Но этот клип, как и сама песня, заставляют меня пустить слезу как в первый раз.
MCR fan or not, but this has great editing and cinematography
And músic.
Steve Spielberg is known as a great director
Right? Makes you wish they did make a movie out of this video
Sad to say They don't make this kind of mv anymore....
Yes
jesus, i forget the kind of money record labels used to have just lying around to throw at an emo band's THIRD music video to a SINGLE album. the production quality is insane, the number of actors, costumes, it's so polished visually. crazy. different times.
Good times
Over a million dollars were spent on the video, which is crazy for the time. Even crazier, though, is that Michael Jackson and Duran Duran were both spending that back in the 80s.
@@croaxleigh fuck. (boomer thought incoming) music industry sure has changed
@@heretustay the music industry is utter shit now. Nobody's doing this kinda cool art now. As im in a band rn and all my producers are just telling us to make eps and singles and don't even worry about music videos anymore because its too hard to get discovered.
Its just a hard time for bands rn.
@@PixxiePlays oh yeah bud, i know it. currently on band number 4, and the last one we had already transitioned to only doing singles and eps released on spotify and bandcamp because all our listeners were mostly college kids. wouldnt even dream of releasing anything physical w/o support from a label, and even then it's risky.
i know we've lost a lot on the way, but the bright i see to the internet music proliferation is that its all just so accessible. it is hard to get noticed, but if someone wants to hear one thing in particular, they can find it. thats pretty cool, i think.
There was never a reason for a music video to be this hard but behold.
After years and years this is still the best thing I’ve ever seen
Fun fact: the amount of footage shot for this video is enough to have made a full length feature film out of it
DankFlab • they should!

October 26th 2009. 15 years ago today this video was uploaded. But I remember listening to this in highschool as a kid. Thank you MCR for all the good memories and guidance. RIP to all the veterans. Emo lives on
Give gerard an Oscar for acting. Though i think he actually made himself believe it happened amd didnt act. Like the behind the scenes he legit screamed his name. That hurt me ouch.
elisavet that’s literally what acting in the highest form is, reacting, if you ever go to a play and maybe some movies where a character breaks down, it’s probably because the actor/actress found something that truly evolved those emotions and built on it.

True, war is horrible and this song really give me chills
Every single fukin time
You'll snap out of it.
After 14 years still hits different
The fact that in the behind the scenes video, Gerard actually shouted Mikey’s name and cried so they had to do a second take.
What hurt me most was when mikey told that his favorite part was dying, G was serious, at some point I thought he would get mad or something, even though we don't know what did he told his brother behind the behind-the-scenes
Got the link to the video ??
@@johnestrada1338 ruclips.net/video/xSjALZS3Zzc/видео.html starts with this and there is a pt 2

this isnt true lmao
I honestly wanna cry about the fact that I’m never gonna see them in concert...
Same, also I laughed so hard when I saw ur username

At least you'll get to read Gerard's comics...and see a movie based on one of them
This song brings people into reality. We all hear the songs about soldiers coming home, all the happy things. This one says what others dont want to believe. Soldiers do die. Soldiers do give their lives for our country. Soldiers do the things others cant do. This song sheds light on the dark side of the world, the side we wish to not believe in. But that side is real. Its sad, yes, but its true. Not all soldiers come home. Some dont make it. Some dont get to come home. Some gave all.
Yeah sometimes it’s happy when soldiers come back I mean some of them get PTSD and that’s terrible. It’s also sad that there are some idiotic people who don’t care that our soldiers died for them. But I agree with you in everything you said up there
Great point and well said! And I feel like the lyrics to this song go beyond dying in combat and really resonates with having ptsd. Because even when soldiers return they are more like shells of who they were before the war and are haunted by the ghosts of war. When you serve with these men and women they become your family and when you lose them horrifically in front of your eyes you become forever haunted by those moments. Once you get out of service all you have is time and that time leads to replaying those moments over and over in your head.
Yes, thats a very good point too. I have a friend, and for them that is true. He is an extremely nice person, but they kind of are like a shell of who they were. So yeah, thanks for bringing that up too!
Well, The Ghost Of You and Wake Me Up When September Ends are similar
