My Chemical Romance

  Music videos can make or break a song.  If there is a song that you think has a deep and powerful meaning when you listen to it but then you look up the music video and find out it’s all about a chicken it may kill your good vibes for that particular song.  On the other hand, music videos can do a song a lot of good.  I think my favorite kind of music videos are the vague ones.  Being vague with a music video allows for the person watching to have their own take on it.   Yet, I also really like music videos that tell a story, but I think both being vague and telling a story can be combined into one music video.  

  A good example of this kind of music video is by My Chemical Romance (a band that has been my absolute favorite since I was 7) and the song is called I’m Not Okay (I Promise).  In a nutshell the music video is about a guy who is in love with this girl who is already in a relationship, she likes him as well but not enough to break up with her boyfriend for him.  In the music video is talks about how he is going to be breaking away from the situation because she wears him out and he is sick of always having to run around with her, hiding from her boyfriend.  He keeps telling her that he is okay, but in all reality he isn’t because he honestly liked her a lot.

  It was the first music video that I saw of them when I was 7 and I have been hooked on them ever since, I’m even getting their first album cover tattooed on me.  I can honestly say that they have saved my life.
