My Chemical Romance is coming down to Singapore! Who wants to go watch their concert with me!!! Hahaha.

After seeing the competition on MTV for free tickets to see the concert, I realized that I had no idea what the band members' names were. (the question was "name the lead singer for 'My Chemical Romance'" or something like that) Oh well. Does that make me any less a fan? I like to think not. I like bands cos of their music and lyrics and the ideas and expression they try to put across... Not for the people.

Nevertheless:

My Chemical Romance
Gerard Way - Vocals
Ray Toro - Lead guitar, Vocals
Frank Iero - Rhythm guitar, Vocals
Mikey Way - Bass guitar
Bob Bryar - Drums, Percussion

My favourite song from My Chemical Romance is Sleep, off their 3rd album, The Black Parade. Even if you don't really listen to this kind of music or don't listen to whatever I post on my blog anyway, hear this for a while. It's... Very nice.

[Voice recording rewinds and plays certain parts, speeds up and slows down:]

"...Like last night, they are not like tremors, they are worse than tremors, they are these terrors. And it's like, it feels like as if somebody was gripping my throat and squeezing and..."

Some say, now suffer all the children
And walk away a savior
Or a madman and polluted
From gutter institutions
Don't you breathe for me
Undeserving of your sympathy
Cause there ain't no way that I'm sorry for what I did

And through it all
How could you cry for me?
'Cause I don't feel bad about it
So shut your eyes,
Kiss me goodbye,
And sleep
Just sleep

The hardest part is letting go of your dreams

A drink for the horror that I'm in
For the good guys, and the bad guys
For the monsters that I've been
Three cheers for tyranny
Unapologetic apathy
'Cause there ain't no way that I'm coming back again.

And through it all
How could you cry for me?
'Cause I don't feel bad about it
So shut your eyes
Kiss me goodbye
And sleep
Just sleep

The hardest part's the awful things that I've seen

[Voice recording:]
"...Sometimes I see flames. And sometimes I see people that I love dying and... it's always..."

Just sleep
Just sleep
Just sleep
Just sleep
Just sleep
Just sleep

[Screaming:]
Wake up!

[Voice recording:]
"And I can't... I can't ever wake up."

"You'll Never Walk Alone"
