This is the vocalist I like. He can sing like an angel and scream like a demon. The nostalgia is slapping in the face with this one.

[TreWatsonMusic]

Dude, this song is deceptively tough on your picking hand.


Thanks for letting me make a fool of myself on your channel, Andy, this was too much fun. let's collab again real soon. :D

[NikkiSimmons]

My heart and emotions can't take this

[ENTRPY]

This is probably one of, if not, my favorite covers of Helena. It isn't too different from the original, but the vocals are different enough that it sounds unique. For instance, look at Radnor's cover. That cover _is_ good, but it sounds too identical to the original and makes you want to listen to _it_ instead. Or you could look at Puddles Pity Party's cover. Again, it isn't bad, I actually think thats an amazing cover, but it doesn't feel like Helena. It's too foreign and strays too far from the original that it's hard for me to enjoy it as a cover. I feel like this is perfectly in the middle, though. Amazing job!

[prodigalheresy]

Damn it you’re such a talented vocalist.

[huskyg]

I honestly pr5efer this cover to many of the others out there. I don't know why, but I feel like a lot of other covers change the tempo and phrasing of the lyrics and it just doesn't sound right. This one definitely is a great cover without sounding like a completely different song.

[Bearkat]

This dude is actually pretty damn legit. Bass too

[murronarteaga]

YES FINALLY AN MCR COVER MY EMO IS EXPLODING

[pampullmoose]

I'm so late, but I'm seriously impressed by your vocals. It's not common for a man to have such a high register and sing and belt those high notes as you do. Gerard Way has that talent, and so do you. I also just listened to your cover of Josie and it was awesome and endearing. I hope you're still singing and enjoying it <3

*sighs and reaches for the black eyeliner and eyeshadow*

[AmitySpells]

My expectations were high, and you still blew them out of the fucking water.

[Ephemeral_A]

*OMG I was just listening to Helena and watching MCR performing it again live and I wasn't expecting this cover at all but I LOVED IT!! And loved that little variation at **2:58** too ❤ Thank you for this Andy, and Merry Christmas!*

[ethanmorrow]

I listened to emo and mcr before I became a metalhead. It's some of the best music I have ever listened to. Thank you for the cover!

[DavidWoodMusic]

I come back to this record every once in a while just to remind myself that it's okay to feel things again.

[GBCoz]

Easily the BEST Helena cover performance I've watched on YT, and I've watched A LOT of covers! Subbed!

[somenamethatisopen]

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
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 a 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
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Well, 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 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

[WranglerRunner]

Not sure how I came across this but you guys nailed it. Love to hear MCR in 2019. Great job!

[AllanDonizetti]

Congratulations to the vocalist, the high notes sent a chill down my spine. There's a lot of feeling in this interpretation

[jaydenBloom]

Can't believe I missed this! Such a good vocalist! And such an taxing song to play on guitar, so massive props to Tre!

[jonwinder]

This is a really difficult song to get right, this guy is one of the rare few who can make it actually sound decent
