We have to do it, so there's no point in bitching.

All of my favourite albums have this incredible amount of conceptual glue to them, even if they are not telling a story.

Because one day I'll leave you a phantom to lead you in the summer to join the black parade.

The Black Parade is an epic, theatrical, orchestral, big record that is also a concept album.

I hollowed out, stopped listening to music, never picked up a pencil, started slipping into old habits. All of the vibrancy I used to see became de-saturated. Lost Slowly, once I had done enough damage to myself, I began to climb out of the hole. Clean. When I made it out, the only thing left inside was the voice, and for the second time in my life, I no longer ignored it - because it was my own.
