“Welcome to the Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance, released in 2006, is an emo-pop-punk anthem from The Black Parade. It tells the story of the Patient’s death, with themes of memory, mortality, and resilience. The song evolved over years, sparked by a piano line from producer Rob Cavallo. A critical and commercial triumph, it topped U.K. charts and became an era-defining rock anthem.
