Goodbye, My Chemical Romance.

As a fan of My Chemical Romance for the past ten years- this is a post that has to be made.

It is now Day 3 of My Chemical Romance being gone and I am just feeling that I am in the right place to be writing this out. The moment the announcement was made, I was heartbroken and in tears. Saturday was better but I couldn’t stand to listen to any of their songs. Even though I was sad, I was still furious inside. How could they do this to me? It wasn’t so much them breaking up but it was how it happened. The past months have been filled with talk of new songs and people from other bands being able to listen to these songs and tell us fans how happy we were going to be with the next album. I mean, MCR5 was no rumor- it was fact. The facts were that the band built a new recording studio and were hard at work on a new record and all of sudden it’s over? Just like that?

It’s now Monday and I’m past being angry and sad. I’m simply grateful for how these men have MADE my life. I couldn’t imagine how different my life would be if it weren’t for MCR.

They have introduced me to so many incredible people that I would’ve never met if it weren’t for this band. The MCRmy has a lot of bad rep and I can see why but what most people don’t see if how we are a family who are there for each other whenever someone needs it.

I had the amazing opportunity of being able to attend three of their concerts. The first one was over 4 years in the making – April 16, 2007. After seeing them live, I knew that I could do anything that I wanted.

I could very much drag this out but I won’t.

The bottom line is that even though that as a band they are physically gone and there will not be any new music, they are always going to be with me wherever I go because they shaped me into the person that I am today. The person who won’t take any bullshit or follow anything less than my dream.

They may be gone but I am still here because they saved me and that will never change.

Thank you, My Chemical Romance. I love you. You’ll always be my favorite band and I will never let go of you.

Music Monday: Harris Grade

Let me introduce you to one of my favorite bands: Harris Grade.

Hailing from southern California, Harris Grade is a five piece rock band that brings the energy live (although I do not know by first hand experience... :(). They are currently unsigned but hopefully that changes soon. Influenced by bands like Anberlin, Thrice, and the Foo Fighters, Harris Grade offers a raw sound that is sure to capture fans of alternative music. Check out my personal favorite song of their's down below. If you like what you hear, go like them at the Harris Grade Facebook and download their FREE EP Sea In You.

deadmau5 ft. Gerard Way - Professional Griefers FULL SONG

Professional Griefers has been a massively anticipated track amongst My Chemical Romance fans. I can't really comment on deadmau5 fans because I am not a fan of his music at all but I am really loving this track. Now, I may have a biased opinion due to my overwhelming love for MCR but either way, this track is golden.

Normally, I would not listen to this kind of music just because I love to sing along to songs. I need lyrics and this song delivers a nice variation of 'dubstep'.

There is an 'official' release date for either the song or the video for September 2. I know that once this available on iTunes, it is going in my phone and will be on repeat.

My Chemical Romance - Heaven Help Us

Let's start this blog off with a bang!

 This song right here happens to be my favorite of all time (I think). It is very hard to pick one song that just made a connection with you and that connection has not been broken. When I listen to this song, I think of this one night back in in 2006. Basically, my grandma told me she didn't want anything to do with me and I came home, layed down, and blasted this song on repeat for hours. I have been able to hear this song live- TWICE!

 "You don't know a thing about my sins- how the misery begins..."

 If you dig this song- check out these other b-sides from the Black Parade era:
 My Chemical Romance - Kill All Your Friends
My Chemical Romance - My Way Home Is Through You

Complete blog makeover!

I redid this whole blog and I am going to start posting regularly! I plan on posting at least three times a week, and there will be an outline of that later in the post...

First things first- the name is stxrlesseyes (pronounced as starlesseyes). I got the title from a My Chemical Romance song (which you will soon learn is my absolute favorite band) and it is basically what I go by on the internet. This sudden inspiration came from Lauren! (her tumblr). This blog is going to be filled with the three things I adore. Music, Life, and Art.

Here is the break down of the week:

Monday: Music Monday

• I will post either a music video, album, or band that I am really digging right now. Promoting bands and giving people new music is something I love and will not be a weekly thing. This will also help me branch out and get some new music consistently rather than listen to the same music over and over.
• After the music, I will post a quick breakdown of music coming out that week.

Wednesday: Throwback Wednesday

• This day will just consist of SOMETHING music related that is older. More than likely from the 80s, 90s, and early 00s.

Friday: Favorite Friday

• Fridays will always include between 5-10 of my favorite things from the week. 

 Now, you may be wondering, "Your title says music-art-life and all these days only consist of music related items." You are right! The other days of the week that aren't dedicated to music, I will be coming on here and maybe updating you on my life, or posting a new design of mine, maybe even share some of my photography or favorite art pieces, and stuff like that.

Until next time...
