Cancer

Cancer Just wanted to share a wee song by My Chemical Romance which is quite sad but a brilliant song so if you get a chance download it or check it out on youtube just to do the lyrics justice. Nearly everyone has to deal with this at some stage in their life be it a family member or friend so give it a wee listen and tell me what you think  Turn away If you could get me a drink Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded Call my Aunt Marie Help her gather all my things And bury me In all my favorite colors, My sisters and my brothers, still, I will not kiss you, Cause the hardest part of this, Is leaving you. Now turn away, Cause I'm awful just to see Cause all my hair's abandoned off my body, Oh my agony, Know that I will never marry, Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo, But counting down the days to go. It just ain't living And I just hope you know, That if you say, Good-bye today, I'd ask you to be true, Cause the hardest part of this, Is leaving you... Cause the hardest part of this, Is leaving you...  |

i think your a pratt for posting this kev see shite like dat is wot put the fear of God in me last year wen i found my tumour..went and cut all my hair up short, used to feel fear in me, look at my kids and think .. fuck will i be here next year for Phillip makin his confirmation yes .. cancer kills...didnt kill me i came thru .. but doom and gloom like dat bout it is just sheer ignorance. if most is caught in time it can be treated and most of all the victim can gain the most important thing about havin cancer .. acceptance and understanding xxxx Ria

I'm a prat for posting a moving song about cancer? that's a new one to me. I've had family and friends go through it and this song touched me in a way no other ever did so sorry I'm not a prat and you could have kept that to yourself especially on a post such as this. Constructive comments are most welcome though.

Kevin, I think its a crazy song...its frightening and morbid, I had cancer and went the whole nine yards. I would defo NOT have liked to have heard the song or seen the words while I was in the preliminary weeks of tests i.e. scan biopsy etc or the healing stages, as my only emotion at the time was a haunting fear and a terrible isolation. I have to agree with Ria, its way too much doom and gloom, cancer is all about hope, thinking positively and holding on tight. The only way I cud credit this song is if the person who wrote it IS or WAS dying from cancer....to me dats the only person allowed to produce a song like that....no offense, its just my opinion...Cheers Miz!!

Well the difference is that's you're opinion which I respect and don't have to resort to insults. As far as I know his mum died from cancer so I'm sure he has enough dealings with the subject. If you watch him sing it live it is an emotional song and the whole crowd sings along with him. I know what you're saying about wanting to think positive it's just that this is a sad song which people do write whenever they're feeling that way and I'm sure he's not trying to offend people xxx

it touched you ........and him people on the side lines till u have it .......... you dont have a clue so if makin up morbid songs and singing along to em makes u feel moved .. work away im personally more moved by tales such as mine and miz .... u know ..the ones who came thru in and give hope to others xxxx Ria

yep I'm moved by your tales as well and if other things make me feel moved then you're right I will work away....I didn't realise there where rules to what moves a person. A very good friend of mine died from it before he reached the age of 30 as well as my aunt, plus my uncle is going through it at the minute. I can never tell what it's like personally but I'm not totally ignorant of it either. If you don't like the song then that's up to you I'm not trying to make anyone listen to it but it's there if they want to.

If you do want to hear it check youtube and I'd recommend the live version at rock am ring if you search for it....I think you'll like it

Gata sometimes I wish I had the gift of putting thoughts into words like you have here...I totally agree with your points on music and to be honest didn't think I would actually get any negative responses but I should realise that not everyone is the same and not everyone will think of that song the same way I did when I first heard it. Thanks for stopping by as always xxx

..Its just words and words that arent meant to poke fun at anyone or be taken personally.....i doubt that kev meant to hurt or annoy anyone when posting it,i too have had cancer in the past and am infact having tests again and im not one bit annoyed at the post...i certainly didnt take it personally...infact i thought it was very moving...thanks kev for sharing hugs xxx  In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on. x

My Dad just died of Cancer and I don't find the song insulting at all. My dad constantly said the hardest thing about Cancer was not the chemo, wasn't his hair falling out, it was the fact that he could possibly leave us. Which he did. For the ones of you who survived cancer I am sure if you look back you probably had your moments where you were wondering if you would make it. The fear when you found out...the pain of chemo that might have made you wish you would die just to stop the pain and suffering. I have never had cancer, God willing I won't. But after seeing more than one person very close to me pass from it, I think the song should be taken as it is meant to be... a glimpse into the mind of someone who feels they are losing the battle and doesn't want to leave their loved ones.
