One of MCR's last recorded songs revealed

This band is one of my guilty pleasures. I have loved everyone of their album save their first. Their songs are emotional, dramatic, some might overly so, but that's what I liked about them-- they were a emo-power-ballad band. It was amazing and belong on stage. They even acknowledged it in some ways with the Black Parade. Man, I love these guys, even if I moved on, for the most part, from this kind of music. I still miss you MCR. Come back.

To refresh my memory on their break up over a year ago, I asked yahoo answers. The top answer was this:

''The decision appears to be the result of a change in Mr. Way’s feelings about performing rather than any differences, creative or otherwise, among the band’s members.

Mr. Way made a point of saying what the reasons were not.

“I can assure you,” he wrote, “there was no divorce, argument, failure, accident, villain, or knife in the back that caused this, again this was no one’s fault, and it had been quietly in the works, whether we knew it or not, long before any sensationalism, scandal, or rumor.”

Instead, he attributes the breakup to an understanding the group had when it was formed in 2001 – a “fail-safe” or “doomsday device,” as he called it, which would detonate “should certain events occur or cease occurring.”

Those events appear to be a realization, which came to Mr. Way during a performance in Asbury Park, N.J., on May 19, 2012, that it was simply time to stop. After experiencing what he described as “a strange anxiety jetting through me that I can only imagine is the sixth sense one feels before their last moments alive,” he went onstage and found himself, for what he said was the first time, detached from the performance – more taken with how blue and vast the ocean looked than with the large audience.

“I perform, semi-automatically, and something is wrong,” he wrote. “I am acting. I never act onstage, even when it appears that I am, even when I’m hamming it up or delivering a soliloquy. Suddenly, I have become highly self-aware, almost as if waking from a dream. I began to move faster, more frantic, reckless – trying to shake it off – but all it began to create was silence. The amps, the cheers, all began to fade.

“All that what left was the voice inside, and I could hear it clearly. It didn’t have to yell — it whispered, and said to me briefly, plainly, and kindly – what it had to say.

The lead singer, Gerard Way, also writes the popular Umbrella Academy graphic novels, and My Chem has a greatest hits album coming out in May which this song will lead.
