Listen to this when
Welcome to the Black Parade
Some songs don't pull you out of the dark. They march you through it. 🖤🥁
Who it's for
Gerard Way described the song as being about the triumph of the human spirit, and its structure acts that out: it begins as a fragile, slow piano memory and erupts into a full, driving anthem.
Feelings it meets
What it is

It follows the album's central character, the Patient, a dying man who recalls his fondest childhood memory of his father taking him to see a marching band.
