Artist's Comments

This was an assignment for my Illustration class where we had to pick a band and then pick one of their songs to do for a CD cover. I chose My Chemical Romance and their song Cemetery Drive. Here are the lyrics.

This night
Walk the dead
In a solitary style
And crash the cemetery gates
In the dress your husband hates

Way down
Mark the grave
Where the searchlights find us
Drinking by the mausoleum door
And they found you on the bathroom floor

I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard

Back home
Off the run
Singing songs that make you slit your wrists
It isn't that much fun
Staring down a loaded gun
So I won't stop dying
Won't stop lying
If you want, I'll keep on crying
Did you get what you deserve?
Is this what you always want me for?

I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard

Way down [8x]

I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard [2x]

Way down [9x]


We also had to base it upon a story, so i came up with something using bits and pieces of the song lyrics.
There is this girl and she is married to a horrible husband who treats her badly. She hates his guts and goes out one night, she meets this wonderful guy who actually cares for her and starts to have an affair with him. After awhile her husband finds out one night when he can't find her and calls the police.
The police look for her all over town and then find her and the guy drinking in the graveyard by the mausoleum doors. Her husband ends up showing up really pissed and tries to hurt her, the guy she is having an affair with beats the crap out of her husband and the police take him away while an ambulance is called for the husband.
That night when she goes home she tries to drown her sorrows in alcohol (was thinking of littering the floor with bottles), it doesn't completely work so she goes and gets her husband's handgun (which i was thinking of putting in) she can't find the will to pull the trigger so she does the next best thing.
First she turns on some music and a song comes on that she shares with the guy she was having an affair with (it was their song) she then finds a razor, sits on the bathroom floor, and starts cutting her wrists. She cries until she blacks out from blood loss and no one finds her until the next morning, she is pronounced dead and then her funeral is planned over the next few days.
Everyone ends up being there and when everyone leaves, the guy she was having an affair with shows up and goes to mourn at her tombstone.

I love MCR. :D I just recently started listening to them (I don't listen to the radio much. Never have time.) but anyways, I heard their songs from watching a few Naruto amv's. Though, I haven't heard this song yet. :P Anyways anyways :movingon: The cover is cool :#1: I love how you have her lying on the bathroom floor with a bleeding wrist. Though I would've guessed that the name of the song was 'Suicide' rather than 'Cemetery Drive'
When I think of Cemetery Drive, I think of someone driving into the depths of a forest, on their way to a body of corpses :nod: ya know, of course I'd think of something like that. What sane person wouldn't? ^^;

Great job,
later Kohaku

Yeah i know, i was thinking about it after i finished it. What i did doesn't really go with the title of the song ^^; it pretty much goes with the story, but at least it gives the idea on how she died. Of course without the story or the lyrics, it might not be understood at all. I probably should have thought to put more symbolism into it. I was thinking of doing a picture of the girl and guy drinking in the cemetery and being spotted by police car headlights, but that would have taken way too long for me.

And i highly recommend just buying their CD if you can. I've probably listened to all the songs on 'Three Cheers for sweet revenge' about 100 times now ^^; good stuff. Now i want to get more of their CDs. You could probably find most of their music videos on YouTube

Thanks for the comment sis!

yeah, that's where I've heard most their songs. There are a bunch of Anime amv's with their songs playing. I've never heard of 'Three Cheers for sweet revenge', but I'll see if I can find it on youtube.

oh wait. Is 'Three Cheers for sweet revenge' the name of the CD :P B/c I looked through Youtube, and if I'm not mistaken, songs such as 'Helena, I'm not okay, and prolly The Ghost of You' are on there, Ne? am I right? :-?
