Birthday meal number 3 went nicely yesterday, this time ten of us went to eat, sadly not at a castle this time, but still a very nice restaurant. I also got a surprise birthday gift of homemade earrings made with my birthstone from Pauline's diL, so that was lovely.

I signed up for no_tags earlier. I haven't actually written a word for ages, so fingers crossed I'll manage to produce something readable in a week.

I still have a load of other comments to reply to, and that will happen, but I wanted to post about this. MCR's last song was played on radio one and then a video complete with video clips and some behind the scenes stuff went up on You Tube, and just. This band. It's been so hard to be a fan lately, but something like this, despite it being sad in many ways, reminds me just why I loved -- why I love -- them so much.

I keep listening to the song, watching those scenes and yeah. Band of my heart still.

Video/song is here if you want to see and haven't done so.

ETA: I knew I wanted to mention something else. Hope all you bandom people are watching fixmein4t5 or the DW version which I think also exists. It's so good to have a list of new stuff again.

I'm awfully glad you linked to that video - I instantly recognized each clip and while I was never a fan on your level, loved the band and their works so much over the years

You're welcome.

It's such a bittersweet thing. So many moments I've loved from their vids, but knowing it's the last of their music I'll ever hear new.

The DW version is fixmein45, for anyone who happens to be looking for it! ^^

Goodness, I'm still uncertain whether I want to see that video/listen to that song. I don't know what I'm more afraid of, having feels, or not having feels. I guess I'll see over the next few days.

I'm glad this birthday meal went well, too! ♥

ETA: Oh heeeey, it's totally past midnight already, isn't it? HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :D

[turps]

Thank you for linking that ♥

I hope you have the good kind of feels when you eventually watch, if you do. As I said, so many sad things have happened in the fandom, but at heart, their music, and the band, remain amazing.

It was. Thank you!

Happy birthday, sweetie. <3

Also, yes, this is exactly why we love this band so much.

[turps]

Thank you!

Band of my heart still. I doubt that will change anytime soon.

Yay for another good celebration!

Also I am sure you will write something awesome.

And I *love* the song. Oh man. So thoroughly them, everything I love. I am making the meepiest face right now.

<3

Three excellent celebrations. We've been very lucky.

Thank you ♥

Yeah. That's how I'm feeling too. It's sad they ended, but they did on their terms and I love that.

[venetia_sassy]

I don't know if I'm ready to watch that yet. *back and forth*

Happy Birthday!!!

[turps]

I hope you enjoy if and when you actually watch.

Thank you!

I'm sure you'll be able to produce your usual h/c extravaganza for no_tags! :-)

Why does everything have to happen the one night I go to bed really early??!! I haven't had time to watch/listen to the new song yet and I don't know if I will be ready when I do have time. It will be the last new thing from them we'll ever hear after all and it makes me all sniffly just thinking about it.

[turps]

I'll try my best!

I hope you enjoy the song when you listen, and the new bits of behind the scenes footage in the video. They made me smile a lot.

[sperrywink]

Awww, MCR is love. I haven't listened to the new song yet. Just haven't had the time or energy. Soon though.

[turps]

I really do love the song a lot, and the video is great. Especially the behind the scenes stuff.

[ephemera]

Belated Happy Birthday, dear lady!

[turps]

Thank you so much!
