10 Hidden Songs You Didn't Know Were On Albums

Chiming in a minute and a half after the band’s seminal album The Black Parade ends, Blood is a jaunty, chipper song aiming to provide dark, yet fun respite at the end of the record. The Black Parade is largely a rock opera and concept album around the life of “The Patient” who dies and is received by death in the form of a parade. There are theories about whether Blood actually focuses around The Patient or is just a one-off track at the end of the record. However the listed final song on the album is Famous Last Words, its story all about persevering through life rather than giving up and Blood could be the reassurance that The Patient survives.

The song combines the macabre with old fashioned cheerfulness and lyrically revels in a craving for blood. It’s the perfect diversion after the record and completely captures the dark yet often tongue in cheek nature of My Chemical Romance.
