I wanna take a second to go over this whole Gerard in their home studio with a producer thing if no one hasn’t already, cause I noticed something last night that I haven’t seen anyone bring up.
Looking at his bio, we obviously know he’s a producer. But there’s another really important thing to note here as well.
He’s also a mixer/engineer, a mixing engineer basically. Why is this important?
Take a look at the definition of a mixing engineer below:
So this could mean two things:
MCR5 is done recording and is in the mixing process, meaning we should expect it to release within a few months
MCR5 isn’t done recording but the band is ready to drop a new single (more than likely Eagles) within the next few weeks/months- if it’s in the next few weeks, it would fall perfectly with the last day of summer theory
We already knew they were doing something together when Frank remained in LA after the Dunes tour ended. And we also got that fortune cookie from him.
The fortune cookie in question, which he posted on his ig story on August 18th.
And what did he post on his ig page 3 months before Foundations dropped?
He posted that fortune cookie on February 18th, 2022. 3 months before they dropped Foundations. Foundations dropped on May 12th, 2022.
So we’re obviously getting something within the next few weeks to months, without a doubt!
After all, Frank did say that MCR is an active band. And MCR branded the whole tour as a return, not a reunion.
We also saw them write Eagles in front of our own eyes at the various shows they performed Eagles at.
MCR5 is happening and has been happening. And it may be here sooner than we think.
I made a spreadsheet with side by side comparisons of the lyrics for Eagles! Australia is mostly transcribed and there is now a NA sheet that is a WIP. If you have any suggestions/corrections or videos for anything please do send them bc some lyrics are barely audible or horrendously ambiguous!
Most if not all videos were found via the MCR Archive so if a link goes dead, it should still be available in it's respective folder! (2022, 2023)
You may think I’ve been annoying lately, but given that Gerard Way wrote the line, “Cause I’m her kind of girl, and she’s my kind of boy,” into a song and then performed it, like, so many times within the past year, it’s truly amazing that I haven’t been more annoying than this. This is actually me showing incredible restraint.
have we as a society considered that. all along the river bends all along with all my friends yes all around the river bends all together with my friends cause one good turn deserves another one good turn deserves another one good turn deserves another a sister a brother a lover a mother [screams] you’ve got your wounded faith shes got a lot of legs just like a centipede cause im her kind of boy and also a girl she takes a photograph and kisses you goodbye cause everyone everyone everybody gets the fucking measles and everyone everyone everybody hates the fucking eagles
