Best My Chemical Romance Songs

My Chemical Romance and The Black Parade are dead, but their music, their values and the life-changing effect they had made on the fans will never die. This song is powerful and emotional in many different ways. I feel a huge sense of pride each time I listen to this song, and it helps me "carry on". It really is a masterpiece. I feel like this song perfectly represents what they are, as well as going on with the concept of The Patient etc. which is also outstanding. They will always stay close to my heart, and remain as one of the greatest and most important rock bands of this generation.

This song is too powerful. And I don't mean lyrics, or the meaning. (Although they both are very powerful) This song has the power to make our heads shoot up even if we just hear the first note.
Last night, I couldn't sleep. (Can I ever sleep? No.) I stayed up until at least AT LEAST 2 am.
My sister sets songs as alarms. I was asleep finally. I was dreaming of Fall out boy concerts. It was 8am (Which means at most 6 hours of sleep) when this alarm sounded.
I, with six hours of sleep, literally still asleep, turned my head to where my sister's phone was. Just because I heard the first note of this song.

This was the first My Chemical Romance song I ever heard and the first one I ever got on my iPod. I often find myself singing it at random moments just to keep my spirits high and a smile on my face. One of the things that I think makes "Welcome to the Black Parade" so perfect is that so many different... Kinds of music that My Chemical Romance does is incorporated into it. We'll carry on!

I am in love with My Chemical Romance full stop. In my opinion I cannot pick a favourite, they are so beautiful in every way imaginable! However to pick which should take the top spot I would have to say Welcome to the Black Parade... It is layered in emotion, its an anthem! If you only hear one song in your lifetime by My Chemical Romance, please make it this one.

Famous Last Words keep me living. The lyrics mean so much to me. I used to be so scared of everything but this song just told me that I shouldn't be afraid of keep on living and walking this world alone. It's so powerful, I love the guitar, Gee's voice is supergreat and I can fell the emotion going trough my veins and my heart, you know?
The Black Parade is on 1st place because it's My Chemical Romance's symbol, basically. But I think famous last words passes the most important message: you shouldn't depend of something or someone to keep on living, and you're enough.

I have made mistakes and I have scars...but I am not afraid to keep on living. Maybe people will hate me for what I've done, or they won't recognise me anymore...but I am not afraid to walk this world alone. I'm sorry if my face repulses you and you feel as though you should run from a hideous beast...but honey if you stay I'll be forgiven. And if you still hate me at the end of the day, and you tell me to die or run away, it doesn't matter, because...nothing you can say can stop me going home.

This is My Chemical Romance's best song. It has a powerful lyrics that changed your point of view. It cheers you up if your sad. This song has the power to save you. Cause it save me. This band save me. They know what they do and they understand how people feel. And that's what I like of My Chemical Romance. They what are your problems and it's like they have a song for every kind of problem. They shouldn't split up. That was the stupiedest decision ever.

This song is perfect, I could listen to this for ever without it ever becoming old. Yes welcome to the Black Parade is a Brilliant song, Famous Last words is better.
My top 10 would be :
1. Famous Last Words
2. Welcome to the Black Parade
3. Helena
4. Sing
5. Na Na Na
6. Planetary Go
7. Teenagers
8. Ghost of You
9. I'm not Okay (I Promise)
10. Party Poison

But all My chemical Romance songs are worthy but their just by personal top 10. My Chemical Romance Forever

This new kid came to school. She was different. The way she dressed, talk, looked, everything! My friends and I started hanging out with her. She obviously had a different taste in music. She would sing parts of songs now and then, non I ever heard of, and with very weird lyrics. We started asking "What song's that? " and then we would listen to it and we actually started to like it! She changed us all. She introduced us to this whole new different world. This particularly is one of my favorite songs.

This song is great and has so much meaning to it. I used to be a part of a community for Garry's Mod (I know, not something to be proud of) and I loved the community, just as much as they loved me. One day, I had to leave the server and community as a whole due to personel issues. The few minutes I was there, a good amount of people and I sang this song. Shortly after, I left. I'll never forget everyone that showed up to sing. Memories were made that night. "Show's over. Time to move on. So long and goodnight everyone."

I remembered this when I was in middle school and I feel in love with it! The video was so great and me and my brother and sister would talk about how this song was so awesome, it tells us that we should let go of our love ones even if it is hard to do it. This song is telling us to be strong no matter what, and this song holds a very special place in my heart.
"What's the worst thing I could say?
Things were better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

This song and I Never Told You What I Do For A Living (but its not on the list) have to be the best songs because they are more raw than black parade. I would say too many people dismiss the album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge and I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love because they are before Black Parade but in my opinion they are better albums, so go check them out.

This song may not be the best song ever, but it is my absolute favorite. I tear up when I hear this song more than I do when I watch the video for WTTBP. Gerard's voice is amazing as usual. The truth behind the lyrics is so pure and real.
No matter what mood I'm in, this song makes me feel empowered to listen to it. If I'm angry or sad its perfect because I really am not okay and if I'm already happy, its still an amazing song to listen to because of Gerard's amazing voice and the guys amazing guitar playing. (and the "trust me" never fails to make me smile... )
So for anyone who likes D&D, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini, and Croquet, and for anyone who can't swim, can't dance, and doesn't know karate. Let's face it, we are never gonna make it, but maybe, just maybe, we don't wanna. We have this song to keep us going and whether or not we "make it" doesn't really matter.

This song is the reason I listen to My Chemical Romance. It's a song about how hard it is to fit into a high school when you're different. Or not okay. I didn't truly feel okay until I listened to this song. It's fun and headbanging, but with a meaning behind the lyrics that speaks to outcasts everywhere.

I relate to this so much, I share the lyrics with my friends because I relate to it, they I even know I relate to it, by far one of my favorites besides "S.I.N.G" because I also relate to that one too. Anyways, this is by far the one I mostly relate to, meaning completely!

It's the best song by the band... Sad that its not in top 5 but it deserves to be out there. People who don't like this are really not okay.. Thumbs up if you agree!

This was the 1st MCR song I listened to after getting it in my recommended from listening to I'm Not A Vampire by Falling In Reverse. To this day, it's still my favorite MCR song almost 2 years later.

And yes, I've darkened my clothes and struck a violent pose since January 2020. Even my nails have been painted black (like my soul).

This is such a catchy song and the lyrics really ring true. The guitar throughout this song is some of My Chemical Romance's best. This song really tells everybody to go on and fight through prejudiced against being a teenager.

First song I ever heard, best in my opinion. It began the long tale of me loving My Chemical Romance. Teenagers is an amazing song and personally I believe has the best tune too. The video is quality as well my friends!

This song is definitely one of my favorites by the band. It sounds like a fun, humorous song but also has a dark theme behind it. It's hard to choose a favorite song from a band, but this song is one of their best.

This is by far THE BEST My Chemical Romance song. I can recite it from memory and just hearing it makes me feel energized. My friends and I scream this in the hallways at school (I've actually gained the nickname Party Poison from this. And my friend is Kobra Kid. Laugh out loud). I've probably watched the music video one million times. It's a great song, marking a new era of My Chemical Romance. It might not be The black Parade or Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, but this is still probably the best album of all.

~Be a Fabulous Killjoy~

I think it's the closest to pure, intense rock My Chemical Romance has ever done. I loved them before this, but this song- it's the kind that makes you want to sing along out loud, even if you're wearing headphones and you know people will listen. It's just so... Positive. Makes my day, but is not sappy. Love it!

My friend and I always burst out singing this in school. Its hard to forget, plus the lyrics are interesting.

I love the music video too. I've never seen anything like it-it's so original and creative.

I think every band should be like My Chemical Romance

One day, I was walking down the street playing this song. It made me feel so magical and energizing, it was really cool. No other song has ever done that to me before. This song has an awesome vibe to it. It's definitely one of my favourites. Amazing stuff!

Out of all songs by My Chemical Romance, this song has really stood out to me and touched me. There's something so special about it. This may not be a super fast song or anything, but the lyrics have and extremely powerful meaning behind them. Even though we all have our struggles and worries, we should all try to focus on others and make other people happy because some people are in a worse position than you, and you could really change someone's life, or make them happier

I love this song, filled with meaning and everything. I used to be this like, really shy girl who hated to sing cause I was okay at it. But after this song, I sang all the time cause the point is to sing! Sing no matter what! Be musical, cause that's what we offer back to the world.. A peace of art coming truly from deep inside of us!

This is the song that really got me listening to all of My Chemical Romances songs before it was just a couple really. Who else has only started listening to them lately? Don't feel as much as a fan cause everyone else has been through their journey and I'm joining halfway through if you know what I mean.

This is a really good song. It is an anthem. It is just one of those songs that people search for. A song that everyone can sing to as loud as they want, till their lungs burst. It is one of those good songs that people just want to sing, no matter who they are, and I find that a miracle.

I knew this song while playing Guitar Hero II at my friend's house (It was the first song, I guess), and I immediately fell in love with it.

"What a amazing music, it's so energetic, the guitar solos are perfect, I've never heard anything like it before" - so I played again, and again, and again...

I searched for the song on YouTube, and as it was a damn good song, I decided to look for other My Chemical Romance songs - this was certainly a great decision, which made me a fan of My Chemical Romance.

For the meaningg it has for me, this song will always have a special place in my heart.

Dead! Was the first my chem song that I listened to where I went "hey these guys aren't bad..." and decided to look up more of their stuff. This song started my obsession with them. I love this song because in all honesty, how often do you hear a song that flat out says "wouldn't it be great if we were dead? " and sometimes that's the only sort of thing you want to sing along to. Sometimes a song with such honesty is the only thing that can make you happy. Dead! Displays such amazing vocals from Gerard (as usual) and amazing guitar playing from Ray and Frank (as usual).

Awesome song, its very catchy and awesome. " Wouldn't it be great to take a pistol in the hand and wouldn't it be great if we were dead?! " My Chemical Romance is the best emo band and this is the best emo song!

This is an amazing song. Listened to with The End right before it, and it was awesome. You should try it.
My Chemical Romance has always been my favorite band. I really wish they would come back. They helped me in so many ways.

This song should be at least in the top 5. It is a mournful song. This song made me cry. Then when I watched the Music Video, I started to bawl my eyes out. Gerard Way in the video reminds me of my Grandpa. He fought in WWII and he lost army buddies. My friend told me that Slipknot was great. I agreed. He also said that System of a Down, Korn, Linkin Park, and Skillet were awesome. I agreed. My friend told me that My Chemical Romance sucked. I punched him in the nose.

This song needs to be higher on the list! Sure their other songs are amazing, but this one has such emotion in the lyrics and the music video really makes me feel what I think the song is trying to convey. It's such a powerful song, and every time I listen to it I think, "This is what music really is."

The ghost of you is probably my favorite My Chemical Romance song, and maybe my favorite song of all time. the story it tells is extremely unique and I was bawling when I watched the music video as all my family has served in the military. definitely should be higher.

This helped me out so much during a dark time with a friend. The music video made me cry because this song is so beautiful. This song is my favorite my My Chemical Romance for it's depth and I love it.

The words are so magical, I still can remember my days to school, I used walk all the way from home to school while putting the head phone in my ear and listening to this song again and again. It's so beautiful and Gerard's voice in this song and the theme of the video, just hats off. Best song ever..

I just started listening to My Chemical Romance this year and I love them so much already. This is my absolute favorite off of Black Parade, and I love this song...it just makes you want to play it over and over again. Gerard's voice is like an angel's...I'm so glad I found this band

I Don't Love You is not like every other break-up song. Most are shallow and forgettable, but there's something about this one that leaves you thinking. It's acknowledging your problem before you just cop out, taking the guts to say "I don't love you like I did yesterday."

When I first heard (or heard of? ) this song I thought that the music would be great, but the lyrics wouldn't. I don't know what I was thinking lol. This song has one of the best instrumentals of any My Chemical Romance song (and that's saying something) and it goes along with heart wrenching lyrics. Also it has that wonderful screaming Gerard at the end so...

Where to begin with this creative masterpiece... It's about a guy who kills someone in a war, and goes mad with guilt as he tries to write his mother a letter. This song is so intricate and complex, its always changing and doesn't let your attention go for a second. The strings in the background add a quirky, macabre touch. The harmonies are fantastic. And holy crap, THAT ENDING. After building and building, the song ends with an EXPLOSIVE final verse in 3/4 time, and ends with Gerard quietly weeping over a violin solo. WHOA. Not for the faint of heart, but this is a stone cold BRILLIANT song.

This is played 976 times on my iPod.. Need I say more, but I will! The boppy tune with the insane mental patient lyrics with a enveloping dramatic cascade of dark emotion pulling at the seams of your mind. It is not a happy song but it makes me feel a disturbing overjoyed thrill. This has always been my favourite song and it always will, I know every lyric every pause every oh and every arr. It is my entire being it breathes the essence of my chemical romance and spits in the face of mainstream posers. The anger, the majesty the power of my chemical romance. It is a vicious dangerous song full of trauma yet excitement and energy. Play it loud and play it proud!

This is probably my favorite song by My Chemical Romance. It's catchy, it's simple, but it maintains the My Chemical Romance signature sound. The song is creepy and a little dark, but it's so full of energy and you can't help but hum along. Mama will always be the song I go back to and play no matter what my mood is. My Chemical Romance Forever!

I always skipped over this song when I was listening to the album and even almost deleted from my playlist but then I saw them perform it live in Mexico and now it's the 1st, middle and last song I listen to. I think I like the live version even more just because Way changes it up a bit and makes it even creepier than the recorded version.

Gerard wrote this about Mikey's depression while they were in the early stages of TBP and they were still touring for Three Cheers. Mikey didn't want to tour anymore, hence the lyric "The roar of the crowd gave me heartache to sing'. It was thrown out a little while after it was written, but Mikey kept coming back to it. He fought to get it on the record. Also, he listened to this song in a lounge for 5 hours on repeat. This is his favorite song on the record, and mine too.

This song is amazing! It is really
Unique and catchy. It really
Shows how My Chemical
Romance is more then what
People call "emo, " which they
Themselves say they are not. They
Are a great, unique, alternative
Rock band. Long live My Chemical Romance! Ance is more then what
People call "emo, " which they
Themselves say they are not. They
Are a great, unique, alternative
Rock band. Long live My Chemical Romance!

My Chemical Romance is my favorite band. I am an emo myself, and people can be haters but I don't care because I know that no matter who I am, My Chemical Romance has got my back. All of their songs speak to me. I LOVE THEM they are my favorite and I don't care what people say to me. All I have to do is listen to an My Chemical Romance song and all those haters, I don't give a crap about. THANKS MY CHEM!

This song is the anthem to my teenage years, it's gotten me through good times, but more importantly bad times. It's the only song that can reduce me to tears in a matter of seconds and it's a ballad song that can speak to EVERY person who listens to it. Everyone can find a lyric to relate to, it's that universal.

This song should definitely be in the top 10. The lyrics speak to me so much and the instrumentals are amazing. It's different from much of their other stuff and has such a strong vibe. I'm totally addicted to this song and listen to it even I'm not on an My Chemical Romance kick. I recommend to anyone looking for a great song to listen to, whether My Chemical Romance is on their list of favorites or not

This is the song that actually pulled me into My Chemical Romance. Before this song, My Chemical Romance was sort of an "eh" band to me (I can't believe this now). But then I listened to The Sharpest Lives, and literally my life changed. I listened to it about fifty times that day! I love this song so much.

When I first heard this song, I was addicted to it. I listened to it everyday, I still do. The lyrics are really great; just like the other My Chemical Romance songs, it makes you think. I looked at the lyrics, and I loved this even more. This song has to have a better place than this! Come on people, VOTE!

This song is amazing and powerful! Gerard I love you! This song is mind bending and ingenious!
There's a place in the dark where the animals go,
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow.

Why did you kill her Romeo?!?!? I know why... Because it fits so cleverly into the plot of the sharpest lives

This is the song that got me into My Chemical Romance and since then it's always been my favorite. I heard it once on MTV and had NO idea who the band was and I didn't catch its title or the bands name, and the song was just stuck in my head the whole day that I had to stay up until 4 am on a school day until they played it again just to know the name of the song.. That's how I fell in love with My Chemical Romance

My Favorite song of ALL TIME. I've Listened to it over 2000 times on Itunes, It never gets old. I'm so glad they put it on guitar hero too (shop song) because it's amazing and so fun to play. Everyone should love this song and its WAY to underrated, people should pay more attention to bands lesser known music, because that is truly what is best.

This song is so good! It isn't my absolute favorite, but it's so catchy and has such good instrumentals and lyrics! It's always stuck in my head and I'm listening to it right now, which probably means it will be on repeatedly. I can't believe people don't like Danger Days when songs like this are on that amazing album.

To me, this is one of my chemical romance's greats. I listen to this song every day. when I'm sad, When I'm happy or even just lonely. This song has given me my own bulletproof heart and once you fully explore and listen to those lyrics you realize this song had much deeper meaning and inspiration.

This song is probably the band's best. It feels... Really good. If you think about this song's lyrics, some parts of it sounds like a grown-up My Chemical Romance saying goodbye, starting anew, but keeping the faith. Keep the faith, even if they're gone. That's how it feels. Plus, the song is really clean, which makes it one of their easiest songs to learn on any instrument.

Even being a hard-core My Chemical Romance fan, loving all their old music, you cannot pass this one by. Why? Because the lyrics are beautiful and actually has meaning behind them too. You're mad if you don't like this song of theirs. No true My Chemical Romance fan would hate on any of their music. They are all majestic people.

I LOVE THIS SONG. It's so sad, but by far, the BEST song I have EVER heard by My Chemical Romance, and that's saying a lot because I have a lot of favorite songs by My Chemical Romance. My Chemical Romance is amazing, my favorite band. Seriously, one of the best bands of all time, if not THE best.

Wonderfully played, fantastic lyrics, deep meaning. It's got it all. It can stand as both a slow and and meaningful song and a loud rock anthem. You can feel the passion and emotion in Way's singing. This is one song I could hear over a million times and not get tired of it in the least.

This has been my favorite song for years. It's in all of my playlists and I can never get tired of it. This is definitely my favorite song and it got me obsessed with My Chemical Romance. Amazingness! This should definitely be up there with Famous Last Words, Helena, Welcome to the Black Parade, Dead, etc, etc.
Best song ever!

Are you kidding me? This is one brilliant song that every fan should go back to. This song juste makes me feel sad and really happy at the same time. My Chemical Romance really are, the best when it comes to expressing emotions

My favorite song from my favorite band. I love all of the lyrics & I love the tune. A touching song with a message that has nothing to do with sex or drugs.

Either this or Headfirst For Halos are my favorite song. Great song, really. When Gerard yells you feel like you're on a sugar high.

I love this song. It always makes me cry because it reminds me of how the band broke up and this songs holds a lot of personal meaning to me.

Amazing song which was even included in Transformers 3 soundtrack! Great guitar! Deserves top 3 at least.

I love this song - changed my life. Really. The lyrics are amazing and moving and I wish I could just hear it over and over. Amazi.

One of my favourites. Even withstood Michael bay trying to ruin it by putting it in transformers 3.

For those who don't even know this song, you should be ashamed. This song is amazingly good. It is not only intense but it also is deep. This song's epicness can only be matched by the best My Chemical Romance songs including Helena, Famous Last Words and Welcome To The Black Parade. Not to mension it is also a shot of peer testosterone to your heart.

This is by far my favourite. You get the amazing lyrics (I mean come on, songs about going to prison for murdering a ton of people? AWESOME! ), then you have Gerard's vocals screaming with Bert McCracken's (from The Used) over the top and it's just wow. It gets me raving every time. How is it NOT number 1?

This whole song is like a symphony.
Can't help but overflow with all kinds of emotions listening to it. And it feels very satisfying for some reason, considering it's all over the place all the time. Definitely a favourite of mine.

"Life is but a dream for the dead." This is song is full of, in my opinion, some of the deepest things Gerard has ever written. I will always LOVE this song for its catchy beat and captivating lyrics. Well done, My Chemical Romance!

Why is this so far down? This song is awesome. It has a Sweeney Todd-type progression, where its loud and angry sounding at the beginning and ends with a hopeless tragic sound. It has a story and concept which, again, is tragic. It has a really good sound to it and its an amazing way to end this amazing perfect album. I really think this song should be up there above other amateur songs (mainly the ones on Danger Days (its not that I'm being a hipster who's like "they shouldn't have changed their sound" because I think change is encouraged, but that album was just awful)).

This song is the song I can never get tired of. I love it and I don't understand this is so far down

This shouldn't be as far down as it is. This song brings it back to the first album. And if you listen to it a few times it caan pull you in as the most intense sounding song they've made

This song shouldn't be this far down on the list. It was a powerful song and it was the perfect way to end a perfect album.

It is really underrated, especialy based on the amount of emotion in this song. I'd really suggest giving it a listen, to the end of it.

I love this song because it's not their typical type of song, but they nailed it so well. I honestly think it should be higher on this list. It's so catchy and upbeat, and it helps pick me up out of bad moods. Great song.

First My Chemical Romance song I had ever listened to. Without it, I would probably never of found out about My Chemical Romance in the first place, so, that is why it is my favourite song.

Seen them live, this by far the best song my My Chemical Romance. Posible one of the best driving songs too. Sound track to gt5 epic game. This song I will forever rock on to.

By far, my fave My Chemical Romance song. Even though, I'm not emo, it still gets me pumped for the new album coming this year.

My favourite song from them by a lot. Every time I go back and listen to their songs, I hear this one and my heart melts and I get nostalgic. Words cannot describe how much I love this song, nor WHY I love it, apparently.

The vocals and the riff are awesome, one of the best endings to the song This song should be much higher up in the rankings.

The intro rift how could you beat that and the vocals this is one of my favorite My Chemical Romance songs ever!

Why don't people like this song? It's awesome!
Just listen to it live and see what your verdict is.

I wonder why this song is this far down, I love My Chemical Romance with all my heart and this is my favourite song of all time. Gerard sings this song with so much emotion it makes me shiver and sometimes even cry. I've never heard a song sung with so much passion. You really can't put a fault on this song, please vote it higher up because this is a truly heart wrenching and amazing song that I love with a passion. Thank you My Chemical Romance for making such an amazing song.

"Your eyes vacant and stained"

The pure, raw emotion of this song and the way that the instruments dot sound perfect just adds to how epic this song is. Gerard's voice is so pure here it sends chills down my spine every time. It should really be higher up on this lost.

This song is so beautiful. Gerards voice is filled with so much emotion and passion. It is raw, honest, and pure. Words cannot describe how amazing this song is.

One of my favourites absoloutely amazing, dark and meaningful. The lyrics tell a beautiful, heart wrenching story. And it's very catching making it all the better!

The song itself is beautiful, the fact it's written for the lead singer, Gerard Way's wife, LynZ Ballato (bassist for Mindless Self Indulgence), makes the song even more lovely. The lyrics are so gentle and raw, Gerard's love for LynZ is so clear but private and expressed fully in this song. My favorite lyrics ever are in the chorus. "If you stay, I would even wait all night, or until my heart explodes. How long? 'Til we find our way in the dark and out of harm, you can run away with me anytime you want." The intro with the guitar sounds great as well, I love how it sounds with the drums, really quiet and soft, without much flare to it but more of a calm vibe. It sounds smooth put together, like a sweet, gentle glaze coating the sound of the song, making it sound perfect and glide peacefully. It's perfect in every way and I adore it.

Even though it's so hard to choose my favorite My Chemical Romance song, I'm pretty sure Summertime would me in my Top 3. It stands out for it's simplicity, yet it is so catchy, almost takes me back to some California highway in the 70's, I'm not sure why. The vocals, the melody, the lyrics, everything comes together to create a wonderful song.

This song reminds me of my first love. It reminds me when I almost lost my life. It takes every thing bad inside of me and somehow, turns it good. THAT'S what this song means to me. It just, makes me want to scream out how I REALLY feel but I'm too afraid... This song is legendary

I think this should be on the top 10. It has a really positive outlook when you listen to it. It relaxes me and floods me so many memories. I get lost in this song whenever I listen to it. Even though it's like a love song, this totally kicks other song's ass! M/

One of my favorite songs EVER, the original studio's music and lyrics are amazing, and the newer performances show that although they may have changed, with a keyboard in the song (s) and everything, they are still very much My Chemical Romance.

This is also one of their first songs which should probably rank higher... But The raw emotion in it is just epic and I also really like the ending with the ghostly whispers. It totally gives me the chills.

I gotta say this is my favorite My Chemical Romance song currently.

I find this song amazing it's spooky and dark and I absoloutely love it. Definitely one of my favourites
