Blood - My Chemical Romance - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Nestled at the end of their career-defining album The Black Parade as a hidden track, "Blood" is doused in macabre humour and sarcastic wit. Delivered by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way in a cheeky accent that would give the cast of Peaky Blinders a run for their money, "Blood" mines an eerily cheery tone that belies its dark content. Released in 2006 and inspired by concept albums like Pink Floyd's The Wall and A Night at the Opera by Queen, The Black Parade is a histrionic rock opera centred around a protagonist called the Patient. In this song, the final chapter of the album, the Patient wakes up in hospital to contend with the fact that he has chosen life over death. But what kind of life awaits him? "I gave you blood, blood, gallons of the stuff / I gave you all that you can drink, and it has never been enough / I gave you blood, blood, blood / I'm the kind of human wreckage that you love," he sings.
