When I hear the song, "Famous Last Words" by My Chemical Romance, I immediately tear up. The reason I am even mentioning it is because last night at a Christmas light festival, I heard someone playing it. It isn't even in my usual music genre, but this song was played in the car the morning I took my cousin Shelby Thomas to her last surgery before she passed away of ovarian cancer. Shelby was my best childhood friend. I had never heard any songs by that band before , but this song's lyrics and chords resonated in the moment so I looked it up and listened to it on repeat as I waited in the waiting room of the hospital. I was so anxious sitting on pins and needles, this song kept me calm and centered. I was NOT created to worry and I was NOT created to fear. After finding out she had died, I never took this song off of the playlist. I didn’t listen to anything else for a long while after.
Not even an over exaggeration. The meaningful Famous Last Words lyrics really just wrapped around me and really and truly gave me life meaning , strength, and mental healing. I listened to it for one month straight without ever listening to much of anything else because I was scared that if I turned it off I would simply fall apart and that Shelby's last words would dissolve and be forgotten forever. But it did keep me together and it still has that effect on me. It keeps me together and I am so grateful that Shelby played it for me before she departed. May death never stop you either!
