I’m gonna make a new one, which MCR song would you like to hear next?

May your pillow be cold on both sides ❤

pov: you're helena

if this isnt played at my funeral im leaving

RAY'S VOCALS OMFG

When the backup vocals came in, I whipped my head up so fast that I gave myself whiplash, thank you

Ray never got enough credit. Gerard is an amazing singer but his greatest talents are his creativity, charisma, and ability to connect with other people. Ray's range and vocal clarity is actually astounding. I'd say he's a more technically gifted singer than Gerard.

I can hear the drums in my head🥁🎶

May your black eyeliner never smudge (unless you want it to) 🖤

Finally something that actually sounds like I’m in a cathedral Basically, my friend made something like this with Sleep but it just sounds like Gerard having a mental breakdown in the bathroom stall next to yours, sorry Mikay

2:11 it sounds like Gerard is singing into a giant fan but I love it tho

How did I get stuck listening to these acappella versions of their songs and why do I enjoy it so much 😭🤚🖤

gerard wrote this in memory of his grandmother's passing and i am currently going through my own nana's passing and extreme anger at having to deal with my corporate job. this version is helping me out so much

Thank you, now I know how my funeral will sound like

why this is not more famous???????????????????????????????? IT'S FUCKIN GLORY

Imagine: You're on your way home and get caught in a terrible rainstorm, so you hurry to the nearest building for shelter - and it just happens to be an old cathedral. As you open the doors, you hear this echoing off the walls of the gloomy interior. Making your way to the sanctuary, you see Gerard standing alone at the altar, singing his heart out. Call it dumb but I found this whole idea beautiful ^-^

0:10 *gerald's voice sounds so raspy to the point he's whispering*

Long ago Just like the Hearse you die to get in again We are so far from you Burning on Just like the match you strike to incinerate The lives of everyone you know And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like the blade you'll stain Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Came a time When every star fall Brought you to tears again We are the very hurt you sold And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like the blade you'll stain Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Well, if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Can you hear me? Are you near me? Can we pretend to leave and then We'll meet again When both our cars collide What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight

2:58 ❤️

Maybe it's only me,but I seriously need to sing like this into a church

this needs more attention. its beautiful.

The words “Cathedral” and “Helena” gave me unwelcome flashbacks to RE6

ray's vocals are everything

This is absolutely beautiful if it doesn’t play at my funeral I’m not dying

* Casualy does the hand motions Gerard does in the music video *

You will wake up with ur phone and AirPods fully charged

DAMN. I always knew that Gerard was a good vocalist but this just made me realize that he is on another level…. My Lord….

ray is so incredibly talented. his voice is heavenly.

i wish the one person who disliked a very bad day

bro the acapella is so perfect wtf

His shoes squelched with every step up to the front doors of the church. The sky growled, snapping at humanity with cracks of lightning. Her grave was only feet away now. The Man's body was drenched as he opened the doors. A repulsive mixture of sweat, muddy rain, and blood that didn't belong to him soaked everything from his stringy black hair to his rotting shoes. The Man wasn't different than before he made the deal, only half of a whole with much more blood on his hands. He dragged himself like a zombie veteran walking in a battlefield across the aisle of endless pews, remembering the silence that followed being greeted by Death with the scream of a bullet. The blood on his hands never ceased, staining the rusty gun he constantly held in the same hand she gripped as the stars in her eyes died and still smiled as her brain matter leaked onto his lap. The cold mud seeped through his shoes, creating unpleasant puddles for numb feet. He was no different from the men he'd killed. The storm carried on, a parade of chaos partying above the cemetery. He found her grave. It was no different than the other tombstones. He knelt, and wept. The many undeserved pleas for mercy stuffed his brain with shame, leaving the grief sidelined. He wanted it to stop. Please someone make it stop! The lightning was reflected beautifully in the silver shine of his gun. Unlike the others, he didn't beg for his life. Didn't think he deserved a second chance. With the scream of a bullet he ended his journey the same way it began: Desperate, a gun in one hand, and with the corpses of thousand evil men. Edit: Thank you guys so much for all the likes and comments! ❤

This is also what happens when you let Gerard sing at my funeral.

It’s important to remember. We all will say goodnight one day.

Been an MCR fan for a couple years now and I’ve been looking for something like this for ages. Gerard’s vocals are amazing. Both main and back (since Gerard sings backing on the studio versions)

I'm tempted to go and sing this in my local Cathedral.

*crying* I needed this so much

This songs always meant a lot for me, at first i just empathize with Gerard's and Mikey's lost, but when I lose my granny it became an hymn for me. Everytime i play this song i think a lot about her, and this version it just killed me. Sorry for my english I'm mexican.

There’s always been something so special about this song, but this acappella version really brings out the emotions this song has always made me feel. Thank you from the bottom of my 2008 emo heart

My broken emo heart ;-; Edit: 2:58 im actually crying

his voice is so pretty ,,,,

thx for this

2:10 RIGHT THERE RIGHT THERE. SERRATONIN

2:07 "time to bring out the fan"

0:20 *this part gets me everytime*

Basically me. Whenever my parents aren't home.

Omg Gerard's voice is AMAZING! His vocals are so completely unique. What a beautiful treat. Thank you so much!!💋💕🤟🤟

RAYS BACKING VOCALS ARE JUST UAHAUAHUAHAUAGAUAH

This genuinely gives me chills. God i love this band

This one is better than the other versions. I just hate when there is an echo

thank you

Okay but I need this over an organ cover to really bring it together.

this made my soul yearn but i don't know what for.. it gives me a home sick feeling in my stomach

i got shiverzzz i love this

We need more isolated vocals in cathedrals. Evanescence would be amazing. Can’t believe this has just been collecting dust for 3yrs & had to find through TT

Growing up is realizing Ray was the tea heartthrob

If this was on Spotify it would be on loop every single f*cking day I just love you for doing this

bro im gunna fuckin fall asleep they're voices are so lovely

My name is Helena. I want this to play at every of my events. I want to annoy my family with this song so they remeber it once i‘ll no longer wander on this earth. They should be able to memorize every word. I‘ll teach my Kids the backround vocals and they‘ll be thankful once i‘m gone to have a memory.

Everyone needs to calm down with the funeral shit but this is god damn amazing.

This is a dark emo masterpiece I love it!

Goosebumps all over 😲🤘👏❤️ I miss his voice! I miss MCR era 💔🙁

No One: All M.C.R Fans: _If Don't Play "Helena" At My Funeral I Don't Die!_

Now I want to sing this song in a cathedral.

This was almost like hearing it again for the first time. SO MANY FEELINGS!

this is what the little roaches in my walls hear at 3 am

My god this is truly beautiful

now make "Helena but you're in the coffin"

this is the only reason i sleep soundly at night

If this isn't played at my funeral, I don't want that shit

omg i love this so much it’s so angelic and mesmerising AH ALSO IM SEEING MCR LIVE NEXT YEAR

ray and gerard’s voices work AMAZING together. it’s unreal and beautiful ❤️🖤

Pov: You're singing at your bathroom

This was therapeutic to me

the switch from the whispers to the screams goes way harder without the instrumentals

No one: Me: pretending to be dead lying on my bed while waiting the Helena choreography part Lmao

2:11 gets me just that whole part just sounds amazing.

Thank you

i come here from this is how i disappear, and its sooo interesting how the vocal layering in the black parade is much more advanced. the emotion is for sure more raw in revenge songs tho

I literally got chills all over

This gave me chills!

This will never not give me the most insane chills.

Wow I have actual, literal chills.

I'm sure the backing vocals of the studio version are all singed by Gerard. Ray does all the backing vocals at live performances

Dude, this sounds so eerie, but AMAZING!

why has this version of this song been stuck in my head 24/7

Its currently 4:30 in the morning, this is majestic

God I Needed This A 4AM

2:12 might be the sound you'll hear when you're finally leaving your physical body

Came for Gerard's vocals, stayed for rays

This song live will break me

MMMMM how did i not come upon this sooner. my ears have been BLESSED

This gives me a vibe I can't really describe, thank u

POV: Priest Gerard singing alone in the cathedral before helena's funeral

This made me combust everywhere

im obsessed with this 😭

Omg the beginning is terrifying

me crying? no, why would i be doing that? but can we talk about ray’s vocals??? man i love him and he deserves more appreciation ❤

Them shivers tho

this is beautiful thank you💓

This is the only reason I'd ever walk into a "holy place" willingly
