the hardest part of this

I suppose one of the reasons why I listen to My Chemical Romance - apart from Way, of course - is that their songs are ... weird. There's just NO other word for it. I mean, don't tell me you've listened to Mama and wasn't creeped out by the music, the words, and the insane way Gerard Way sings. Come on! He sings like an effing pyschiatric patient. He writes like an effing pyschiatric patient. Majorly disturbed is so an understatement. And then they go about including Liza Minnelli in the album? What's up with that? And I'll give you head if you can tell me one other artist that does concept albums these days. Okay, so I'll probably give head if you were able to think of Nine Inch Nails or Dream Theater, but what-the, they ain't the type of music I listen to. Too ... psychedelic(?)



I've listened to this song for no less than 50 times today (thank god for the repeat button in my player's remote)that I'm quite sure I have the words correct, and that's without even using a pen. MCR, they may not be picked first in any of my playlists but they sure as hell could go last.

This chart got like 900 comments. I think it's pretty funny. What I also think is pretty funny is the way each person 'argued' their point, if you could call telling each other to kill themselves 'arguing'. I'm sure there are more than numerous David Bowie fans out there, and some may not appreciate comparing him with MCR, but one of the responses in the site said it smack right for y case: "This chart is accurate, but I'd listen to MCR over David Bowie any day." I am in no way being condescending to David Bowie and fans here, I'm just saying that I didn't grow up hearing Space Oddity blazing in the background, I didn't age to present 21 swapping casette tapes of Ziggy Stardust with long-time chums, and I don't think I ever bothered to find out if the original Under Pressure track was a collaboration of whom with whom until I heard the cover last year, which I think is as brilliant as the original (fuck you twice Vanilla Ice!) That's also probably why I may never have the profound ability to appreciate David Bowie's songs as much as you fans of his think I should.

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 hair's abandoned all my body,
All my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo,
But counting down the days to go.
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know,

That if you say
Good-bye today
I'd ask you to be true
Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you

Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you
