Welcome to Gaia! ::

Beyond the band saving lives and having song filled with deep and poetic meaning. (Before anyone jumps on me, they saved my life, but that's another story) Has anyone ever just left the messages and memories at the door and just listened to the lyrics? The sound? I was always so wrpped up in the songs meanings, and what they've done for me. Now, not only do I see the poetry that some of the lyrics contain (go listen to Early Sunsets over Monroeville, and see what I'm babbling about. Go on. We'll be here when you get back)

You're back. Good. Now after disengaging the meaning and messages, doing this to all their songs, not only do the lyrics seem moe poetical to me, listening to when he (Gee) takes breaths and how he makes things sound when singing live have enabled me to (in mine and a couple others views) become a dynamite singer. Nowhere near as good as Gerard obviously, but when I'm just singing randomly, people say the difference is noticeable.

So while they saved pretty much all our lives, and different songs have different relevance to each of us, listening on a different level can have different results, and can lead to greater things.

(Disclaimer: This three paragraph outburst was written to say what I wanna say, and I just feel like this, so if anyone is offended or has a different opinion, then please air it. I like discussion)

I completely agree. The lyrics have a meaning. I think that if someone were to listen all the way through "The Black Parade" WITHOUT knowing it's a concept album, I believe they'd follow the story. I, too, have basically taken breathing lessons from Gee. I used to be in chorus before I came upon My Chem, and I couldn't hold a note because I sucked at it. Then, I was in chorus post-MCR and my breathing was a lot better (according to my teacher). So, I completely agree with you. 3nodding

I do competely agree with you and they did save my life too...

Funny thing is, we're actually going over sound devices in Poerty for AP Enlgish right now and I get to pick 4 pieces of poetry and annotate them and such; my teacher said one could be a song, so I'm going to do "Sleep"

Their songs are very poetic and metaphorical...that's one of the things I love about them so much!

I didnt think gerard's breathing would be inspirational, the way he smokes, lol.

But I do love their lyrics with a passion. smile

you can really hear a story in each album and how the songs relate to each other(but not in a repetitive way)

OMG I LOVE YOU! .hugs. I feel the same way. I'm going to copy and paste something I wrote to one of the group leaders here: 'To be honest each song reminded me of a short film - each one different but with the same references written and produced by the same director.'

That's how I feel about all three of their albums. UH! My Chem you make my heart burn.
