Twenty One Pilots releases their cover of My Chemical Romance 2006 ballad Cancer.
Twenty One Pilots stays faithful to the 2006 MCR ballad, but gave it a magical touch by ratcheting it up with somberness and synths. The new rendition hails from Rock Sound Presents: The Black Parade, which pays homage to My Chemical Romance's 2006 LP, The Black Parade.
The song addresses being on the cusp of death and the anguish of saying goodbye to loved ones. Eschewing the original piano-led approach, Twenty One Pilots' take is synth-laden and features additional lyric reprises and layered vocals, which gives the song an extra pensive vibe like a Joy Division song.
The duo finally released the song in full with a lyric video to accompany their amazing cover of the classic MCR song.
