My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade (album: The Black Parade 2008)

This song is by My Chemical Romance. I didn’t know who the hell they were until I saw them performing when they were supporting “Green Day” on their concert back in 2005. Both My Hubby and I were impressed and listened to their songs after the show. In 2009 we went to see their concert in Sydney, this time they weren’t supporting anyone. It was a very disappointing experience. There were a lot of crazy little girls shouting in the background and it was quite a nightmare. Also their lead singer looks like he is pretty full of himself and it kind of ruined the entire show. I still think they have a few good songs.

This is a song about the last nice memory of a dying young man, when his Dad took him to see a parade. Although I’m not dying as yet, I wish to share my nice memory from my Dad with you .he used to take us almost every weekend to the beach, every time to a different one. I just loved going to the beach with my Dad. It was so much fun! swimming in the big ocean and afterwards he would spoil us with a nice Ice cream , grapes and watermelon cut into perfect sizes. I loved our trips to the beach when I was young. It was so much fun! Check out this awesome song...
