- After my departure from a certain television show, my friend Karri Northrop invited me to cry it out with 1,000 of LA's finest pity partiers and Echoplex at EMO Nite LA. We were sad as f@%k. Many sadgasms. I highly recommend it. #cry #sad #emo
I đ€đ€đ€ MCR. I wasn't trying to create a better version of this song. I was just trying to create.

Goodness! You guys are the most. Thanks for watching and listening. â„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž
YOUR VOICE GIVES ME LIFE
Voice of an angel my dude. Canât stop listening to your covers. đ€
You have such an amazing replay value. I found your Space Oddity cover, and I was hooked. Your covers are so relaxing and touch the soul!
đ€đ€Ąđ
Such a great voice, diction and performance, you've got a huge fan In me
When you think about it, Sad Clowns are the original emos.
Thats right,my friend. Even the ancient theater performers had motifs/masks representing the duality of humor and sorrow. đđ A friend from Maine USA
Iya gan setuju ane dengan pendapat ente

Wrong
âThis song canât get anymore emo then it isâ
Puddles: hold my suitcase
Lol. I love this.
â€â€â€ yes
đ
For real LOL
666 likes. Nice đđ»
Very rarely does a cover really hit the feels the same as the original and I love this version every bit as much as the original
A perfect example is Johnny Cash-Hurt
we are hitting emo levels thats not possible
Lol
This isn't emo
But he's still really tallented
Gerard is like the greiving grandson of Helena, where this dude is the heartbroken grandpa.
We're ready.
@@GoogleAccount-jg5vd oomgggg lmaoo nooo
Gerard is like the greiving grandson of Helena, whereas this dude is the heartbroken grandpa.
Perfect.
Need a mcr and ppp together
Helena was dedicated to Gerard and Mikey's grandmother who passed, so yeah
@@camdwas6454 wOw nO rEALLy i shoulda made an observation about that.
that actually hurts to think...
Unbelievable talent. His voice just blows me away. The tone, control, pitch, everything.
YES
I can't even handle how good this guy's voice is. Wow.
It's amazing how a different version of a song with all the different inflections on the lyrics brings out various lines and helps the listener to better understand the meaning of the song. Like reading a book and then hearing someone else read it aloud.
I agree, I actually woudnt have given the original this much attention.
Exactly. He does make the songs so much more powerfull.
Patrick Hogan wow
Patrick Hogan depends on peopleâs interest tbh, I prefer the original one because it has much more emotions in it, but this is also amazing
Nice Shirt I agree in the sense of genre enjoyability, Iâm a big My Chemical Romance fan, but how he inflects some of the lyrics makes me notice certain patterns and ideas differently.
When you put on that heavy crown, did you realize that you would become the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned? The non-believers might have gotten their licks in, but as long as you're here to lead us, the Puddles Platoon will carry on!
Brilliant
A WTTBP reference? Really?
oobalooba
Best comment everâĄâĄâĄâĄ so true
Chloe White that was a my chemical reference
Yes we know. The song you took it from is Welcome To The Black Parade.
This song was originally about losing his grandmother. My grandmother is currently fighting lung cancerâŠI needed to hear this. Thank you
So Cancer - Dischanted - Helena
Right???
To this day, this is my favorite cover EVER. The pain and loss he conveys in his tone and facial expressions is so dark and haunting. Such an amazing talent. I'll come back to this as long as I'm able to.
You need to do a cover of The Black Parade! In this style, it would be beautiful as hell!
Now that...That would definitely bring tears to people's eyes!
Im waiting for that song too . Pls puddle đđ»
Please puddle T^T
Ghost Killer Entertainment yes.
He should do a cover of Famous Last Words
i am a 40 year old man who lost his wife in child birth to our only daughter who thankfully lived. It will be six years in January. the worst part of grief is the numbness you feel so you can go on functioning but you miss having emotions. I cannot express enough the release and poignancy to me personally when the bridge hits. being able to cry occasionally after going through what iâve gone through is better than sex. better than getting drunk. better than getting angry. in fact i havenât watched this song and not cried at that part. So puddles and your buddy Mike: thanks for letting me sleep tonight. i needed it
sending my love.
Wishing you the highest Good Sir.
I'm 23 and this hit hard..... because I know exactly what you mean .....
I'm so sorry. I have a very small idea of what it's like to lose the person you love the most. I promise to pray for you and your child.
I know human experiences cant be compared even if they are very similar, its so unique not matter the similarities. I lost my only child a few hours after birth but i understand that in our own worlds its a feeling that only we can know ourselves.
Thank you for coming out to share a tiny piece of your story, I truly hope you can find peace through the rest of your life, I hope your daughter is well and will as well.
My very best wishes fellow human..
Puddles voice is pure liquid gold.. the emotional feeling in his songs are really second to none
This was my best friends favorite band and song, she died in 2005 in a car accident. Perfecty haunting in the sweetest way, I can still hear here singing in my old truck we drove around in but it sits broken down and full of memories. Thanks Puddles. đ
I love how when Gee sings it, it sounds kind of angry and forceful and when Puddles sings it, it's more calm and sad
It's really cool that just changing the voice and the instruments can make a song sound so different
PANIC !! At The Everywhere Me too!
PANIC !! At The Everywhere
Puddles has that amazing ability to make you actually "listen" to a song for the first time even though you've "heard" it a million times before.
A lot of people said they had no idea that Sia's "Chandelier" was about suicide until they heard his version with Postmodern Jukebox/his AGT audition. I'm one of those people.
sloth is agree.
PANIC !! At The Everywhere
I know right.
sloth king thank you your majesty :)
The song is actually about the death of the Way brothers' grandmother Elena and their grief surrounding her loss.
The name was changed to Helena in reference to the character from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, a play that heavily features sleep as a theme. Among other things, the play compares sleep to death and respite from the world.
Thanks.
I thought the name "Helena" was combined by her nickname and real name. Elena and Helen.
You really a true mcr fan.
@@mermaidethereal3578 what i thought too.
@@kimberlyrivera6680 awww thanks.
The unofficial acoustic version of Helena that we didn't know we needed but ended up getting. I love it
Same!
I thought there was an acoustic version?
you did a very important, sad, sweet, song justice. This song and MCR was and continues to be a HUGE impact on my life. Thank you for treating it with the reverence it deserves. You highlighted the grieving and sad soul of the song without making it corny. Made me cry, actually. I think Elena and Gerard would approve. RIP Elena
Got over my fear of clowns thanks Puddles
Every other video has a similar boring comment. So you didn't like clowns...so what??
En en H
What about Gerard?
En en, I dont know man, puddles might have re instilled my fear/ just not cool with attitude against clowns. Just imagine a extremely talented singing clown chasing you through the woods with a machete while singing you some dark melody before you die..... Lol
Me too! :)
I usually don't like when people cover MCR...but Puddles....dear Puddles you are awesome
Wtf did I just watch.... As a cover snob and probably the biggest MCR fan in my area.... This was absolutely beautiful.... I'm literally speechless... How do you make something sound so like the original but also absolutely your own at the same time???? đ€Żđ€Żđ€Żđ€Ż
Puddles is a genius like that.
Itâs a Puddles thing!
His voice is absolutely beautiful...the melancholy and pathos with the power and tonality. Gorgeous cover đ€
I've decided that this rendition by puddles will be playing at my funeral. I dont care if it's years or decades from now. This will forever be my favorite cover of this amazing song. Thank you, Puddles, for this beautiful cover.
If they don't play this at my funeral im not dieing
There's a certain satisfactory depth to it. I don't disagree. I'd also not be displeased of the few that I confess love for get drunk or high for a bit and shed a tear or two to such a tune, and hopefully keep me in mind, as I do for others gone before.
I love it too! And don't even like the original version
he just use 10% voice
but the rest 90% he sing with heart
so talented
You mean 10% por cent voice and 90% autotune
@@pedroquintanilla3821 your.....Your an idiot...
Wrong Pedro. Watch him on America's Got Talent singing Chandelier. No auto-tune there.
@@pedroquintanilla3821 Do-... do you know what autotune is...? That's not autotune. That's his voice. You can just say you don't like it, lol
I personally love My Chemical Romance. Helena is one of my favourites, and Puddles reminds me why. Easily my favourite cover of Helena.
yeah pedro its ok just go watch K POP
If you read this comment Puddles, I just want to say that I can't go back to the original tune because of this cover but I really love and appreciate this cover. Been watching this for thousands of times ever since this has been uploaded đ„
What a voice, you are are carrying all of us in your arms. Our sadness and our pain is expressed through your voice and it goes so deep, the emotions are images that reflect your soul.
When you picked MCR and the Pixies for Emo Nite LA, did you have *any* idea how much we were going to love you for doing them the way that you do? Only you can take something already so melancholy, amplify it, and create something so haunting and beautiful at the same time. â€ïž
misstaken 078 I agree the original is one of my favorite my chem songs
He did a pixies song? Which one? I bet it was outstanding.
Rwededyet He did âWhere Is My Mind?â. Itâs my most favorite thing he has done so far! You can find versions of it on YT, no studio version.
My husband is 1/2 deaf and sometimes reads lips. He spotted a silent âI Love Youâ near the end....so sweet! For you and whomever âtwas intended, please know that we love you too. â€ïž
MarGie J could you provide a time stamp for that? I cant seem to find it! Thanks in advance!
@@yenee94 Around 04:47
Outstanding; the sheer emotion in this song is gut wrenching. Out of all the versions of this song, I think yours truly shows the pain the songwriters wished to convey they made the song.
Brings me to tears every time I listen to this cover simply incredible vocals
when mcr's version is not emo enough
mehhh lame reply. try harder.
Wow you really tried harder :D good dog! Hey listen, if you are using your brain, you wont be replying to this anymore.
And if you do, then you just admitted that your just a dog. :))) bye troll
@@emanjimenez5381 dumb* you're a burritoboi so I'll let it slide.
@@emanjimenez5381 And I thought you couldn't make any less sense LOL
Yet its so beautiful
Oh my God you have touched my soul today Puddles. Thank you. *Did you know I'm very scared of clowns? But not you. You are kind and sweet.*
Same
Joseph Freese Ohhh same âĄ
Also mortified of clowns but can't stop watching this xx
YEP
Joseph Freese me too haha
I can count on one hand the musical artists with a voice that has brought me to tears. PuddlesPP is one of them.
I've been listening to this song since August 2020 when I first discovered you. It's one of my favorites of all your songs. I watched the videos from the club that night where you sang this and "Where is My Mind". It was a packed house, right up to the stage. What I loved was all the young people there giving you their undivided attention and adoration. They were hanging on to every word you sang and singing along, because, of course, they knew all the words. Your older audiences are more reserved, but these guys weren't hesitant to show you their love and appreciation throughout your performance. I was so pleased you got to experience that.
This is beautiful and I love how it's so different from the original.
Kitkat 26 TBH it sounds better then the way Gerard sings it in the acoustic version
@@afraidteenfury2580 you want to stfu?
Ă vero, ho ascoltato l'originale:non mi piace. Invece quest'uomo(peraltro pieno di carisma, secondo me) la rende bellissima!!! G R A Z I E! đđđ
A cover that maintains the spirit if the original, while not just being an exact copy. Truly a work of art.
Such an enchanting voice,
The tonal transition between "whats the worst I could say" and the following "things are better if I stay" sends shivers down my spine.
Mr Puddles Sir, you are absolutely gorgeous and wonderful, I've listened to this so many times now.
The Pickle I can do that. Iâm trying to train my voice now
I can't even express how much I connect to this guy.
Gerard wrote some of the most radical lyrics. Love that dude.
Takes me back. Dude doesnât even know how many people he made cry out of happiness for this.
His pronounce is very exact..
You mean pronunciation?
I'm the same way when I talk, so I can really appreciate it
Miata Is Always The Answer I hope so
And his teeth are perfect.
Yes this. Thats honestly my one issue with most emo/punk rock is because they're not formally trained, their amazing lyrics get lost due to mumbling
I still listen to this at least once a week, it's a master rework of an awesome song. Love your work Puddles!!!
Your voice is so amazing and this rendition has me in tears. Please never stop singing.
Puddles you've done it again... transformed a song in a lovely and beautiful way.
Donald McKinney so ur saying helena is not beautiful am sorry am emo trash
I in no way said anything of the sort. You are looking for offense where there is none. I was merely telling Puddles how much I enjoyed his cover. Many people said similar things in their comments. I never said anything negative about Helena. 135 people agreed with me Kate Wilde so I think I'm on solid ground here.
Donald McKinney so because a 1000 flyies like shit then shit is good?
Damn Puddles...damn...
GroĂer Maik
I know right.
GroĂer Maik The Kill (30sec to mars) :(
He is dam good. He make older songs new. Awsome
There has been a void in my heart for so many years...
Tears are flowing, feelings are being realized, what is happening here?
Your rendition of this song brought me to tears. Your intention and careful plucking of the lyrics were so beautiful. Like the strings on a forgotten guitar.
This song couldnt be more emo
Puddles: hold my briefcase
Bro...
I'm dying đđđ
Fantastic!!
Genius!!
I donât see how this is emo..
He's just so good. He makes you recognize just how well written certain songs really are. What a great brand and act he has created.
Even if this video was 2 years ago,I still love it..The best cover I've heard so far
I have loved this song for years and sing along with it every time. Tis one of my all time favorites! đ€đ€đ€đ€
homie in the front row holding the phone was having a sadgasm singing along with Puddles
Giraffe with tattoos đ
Sadgasm! Man that's a bit of strong word!đ
Add "sadgasm" to the dictionary someday cause that one's gonna stick.
Margie J remember you seen it here first. lol
I relate to this guy a lot đ
Ima tell my kids this was the joker 2019 movie
Certified fresh đ
@@georgeboehmler7211 99%
That wad kinda good too
That was a great movie
It's for the best.
I feel like this cover really brings out the emotion of loss and trying to cope with your mistakes
i love the eccentric timing of your singing yet it fits the tempo so perfectly! i am amazed of how you can keep that up because that is one hell of a skill to get!
As fantastic as your voice is on its own or with just your guitar, having full instrumentation to accompany you like in this video really takes your performance to another level. I'd love to hear you backed by a full orchestra some time! Thanks for all the fantastic music!
My mother passed away, twenty years ago, this month. I still ask, "Can you hear me? Are you near me?" Tonight, I'm wrapping myself in this song and your voice, before going to sleep.
Geri Mars my grandmother passed December 29th, of last year. I sang this song to her before she died. This song means the world to me
My grandmother passed away December 29th, I sand this song to her before she died. It means the world to me now.
King Outcast I'm very sorry for your loss. I know, all too well, how you feel. Let memories of happier times comfort and sustain you. Peace.
Im still learning to live without my mom after only a year. I want so badly to believe she's still with
Same here, my dad died 15 years ago, this Song means so much for me because of that.i still want to believe he can hear me
Still your best performance ever. I love this song. Love your voice singing it.
This is a brilliant cover and I love seeing the whole audience sing along too.
My great grandmother was named Helena. She died a few years ago from cancer and was one of the greatest supports I had. I can't thank you enough for this beautiful cover, Puddles.
Sorry to hear that đđđđđđđđđđđđ
Reverend Veritas Helena is after Gerards grandma Elena who died OoF RIP grandma
I am very sorry to hear that I hope ur feeling better
Ad Victoriam! Same both sad and good songs
I'm still listening to this beause it's so damn good.
This is one of the best covers of a song I Have Ever F'n HEARD man. The smile was painted on but the tears Were Real......
Brilliant.....
This guy has an amazing voice, and heâs a performer, those hand gestures and his facial expressions really add to this a fuck ton. Also heâs a clown that sings amazingly which the sheer absurdity of gives this entertainment value. Personally i kind of want to know this fellas story. I mean heâs obviously got at least some vocal training. What made him sit down and say âimma dress up like a clown and sing emo songs.â?
Your voice and this melody are a match made in heaven. I can't stop listening. You rule, Puddles.
*"What's the wooorst that I cannnn saaaay?"* Probably that you're an amazing artist and singer! *Words can't even DESCRIBE how talented you are!!!!* This has become my favorite song to sing at the top of my lungs while driving :)
He has such candid and sad eyes, but so beautiful
How did I not know this existed? I am seriously obsessed with this cover and obsessed with Puddles Pity Party of course. He's seriously so underrated and the world is a better place because of him and his music.
Emo clown. Strange combination, but I'm into it.
The concept of a sad clown has been around about as long as clowns have been around.
Joker is a sad clown
@@IsielCalisang he's more maniacal. But yes.
What I meant was a clown singing emo a pop punk.
@@liam1558 yeah, a clown singing an emo song is quite strange.
Long ago
Just like the hearse, you die to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on just like a match you'll strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worse you take (worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I've been holding on tonight
What's the worst thing I can say
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take
From every heart you break
And like the blade you stain
Well, I've been holding on tonight
What's the worst thing I can say
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Can you hear me
Are you near me
Can we pretend
To leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide
What's the worst thing that I can say
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Mama
You gave me chills. Your voice and talent is astounding. Iâm blown away.
Please never stop making these sound waves of pure gold
I don't love you by My Chemical Romance will make me cry for hours and will be awesomely beautiful
Jorge D'arce 666 exactly!
Jorge D'arce 666 I agree with this
yes please!!
Jorge D'arce 666 ugh YAS
I remember seeing puddles on America's Got Talent after that I instantly became a fan I love the way he did this song both beautiful and awesome
"We'll meet again when both our cars collide"
"So long and goodnight... mama"
This just stings me the most. I lost my mom, one of the most beautiful person to ever exist, 9 months ago and until now everything feels so unreal and temporary. Thanks for this cover, Puddles. Means so much â€đ
It's not sadness that I hear, it's pure beauty! This is... Puddles, Mike, I love You both! â€ïž
I wish Gerard and the rest of MCR would hear this
Tsun Tsun I'm sure they've had it sent to them
Tsun Tsun Yes!!!!!
i wish gerard and the team will back again đ
Rusty Virata one could only hope
YAS
Sing "the ghost of you" please by MCR
febry capank YYYEEESSS
OH YES
Man.. If Puddles can make Helena this emotional.. Ghost of you will be epic..
If he cover ghost of me, he will be making the world emotional on a whole new level
OH MAH LORD YES
I love this so much! You are truely amazing! Thank you đđ
I revisit this often and Iâm convinced it cannot get old.
Much love, Puddles!
I don't know what I was expecting when I clicked on this... but I'm really glad I did.
Lol me too...
Yeah me too
Same
Lmao yes exactly
Same!
Never thought a clown could pull off this beautiful rendition
Brian Rosado it would make your head spin, how often I heard that.
This is definitely my favorite of your many wonderful works puddles I really feel the soul in this piece and it moves me thank you
This song was beautiful, then you took it and reshaped it.. now it's terrifying melancholy is unleashed and it is divinely breathtaking. It makes so much more sense now... Thank you. You are incredible, puddles.
I can't stop watching this, your voice is so powerful and you deserve so much more than you get. THIS is real talent. I'm from Brazil and I get really sad 'cause, you see, I have no idea when I will be able to see you in person. But it's ok, listening to you REALLY makes my days better. Thank you, you're incredible.
I'm trying to get to Brazil!
Puddles Pity Party You can't say something like that to me OH MY GOD are you trying to kill me?!?!? We'll wait for you!!!!!!!
I just found out you played in Vermont last night and I missed you! :'(
We love you Puddles. As well as the emotions that reverberate threw us from you
Long ago
Just like the Hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on
Just like the match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take
From every heart you break
And like the blade you'll stain
Well I've been holding on tonight
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay

When every star fall
Brought you to tears again

So long and goodnight
MCR and puddles are just a perfect pairing especially when you need a good cry
This is a very good cry.
2:16 *boy in crowd*
WE UNDERSTAND
oH MY
lol I did that at a concert once but the singer just stared down at me and kept singing
LMAAAAOAOAOAOAOA
Lmao me
Panic! At Melanies Pity Party HAHAHAHAHA
This was my momâs favorite song before she passed away and listening it now in your version brings me to tears because itâs so beautiful. I wish she couldâve heard it. Thank you.
This is beautiful, so heart felt, you see a true understanding of a song that is sung by another. This is an anthem of a generation that was re done with compassion. Thank you.
My friend thinks this is too slow and too weird but honestly, this is the best cover I've ever seen.
Christian Wallis i agree to your friend
agreed
I'm not familiar with the original and, to be blunt, I don't want to go look it up in case it spoils my memory of the song.....
Dedj Deraladin it's really good
Dedj Deraladin its really good, it's the original. But this is probably the best cover of it.
I asked him to do a studio version of this song and he did it! I'm just going to claim responsibility in my head.
In all seriousness though Puddles, you SLAYED this song. One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands and you just gave it such a beautiful twist. Thank you for this.
I'd have never have expected such a great voice from a person in a costume like that! Amazing! Much respect
Wish I ran into this sooner. Amazing. I get goosebumps every time I hear it.
Beautiful. My #3 daughter had a hard time with depression and self harming in high school, and she listened to a lot of MCR. I listened with her and she came out of the darkest times. We still deal with depression, and Puddles helps us cope.
this made me tear up bc I'm just like your daughter, but I can't get out of it. She's lucky to have a mom like you :)
Oh dear, you can get beyond this. I have battled depression, self harming and suicidal thoughts and plans my entire life but I'm still here (I'm 57). I always have an ear if you want to talk, send me a pm here, I am here for you. Take good care of yourself, you deserve it!
Lyric writers must love Puddles. Even though his vocals are beyond amazing he never neglects the lyrics. His phrasing, emoting and facial expressions give depth, clarity and meaning to what ever he sings. Puddles some times makes a song sound much better than it is standing on it's own. Just another aspect of his talent. I loved this cover and I would have never have heard this song if it were not for Puddles.
He always add so much emotion to any song he sings and I think that makes it so much more special
absolutly love your stuff....you sir are one hell of a singer.i love this song and you make it so much better in a different way...beautiful just beautiful
Clowns are such beautiful conduits of emotion. So pure and clean.
My chemical romance is my favorite band and I usually don't like covers of there songs but this is a really nice twist
lgbt_killjoy_emo_thing /name: isaac/ yea is exactly i think
You're an emo right? you ever listened to HIM ?
