My Chemical Romance releases 2007 live recording ahead of The Black Parade reissue
The previously unreleased ‘Someone Out There Loves You’ was recorded at a Hoboken club show and is one of six bonus tracks planned for the album’s 20th-anniversary edition.
My Chemical Romance released ‘Someone Out There Loves You’ on October 16, 2026, making a previously unreleased recording from a 2007 show in Hoboken, New Jersey, available ahead of the planned 20th-anniversary edition of The Black Parade. The song gives listeners an early look at the live material being added to the album when the expanded edition is due on October 23.
Billboard identified the venue as Maxwell’s, a 200-capacity club, and said the accompanying video shows the band performing there. The recording comes from a show during the original period of The Black Parade, rather than from the band’s more recent anniversary performances. NME also identified the track as a recording from the Hoboken show.
What is on The Black Parade anniversary edition
The expanded edition is set to pair the original album with six bonus tracks. Three are live recordings from the Hoboken concert: ‘Someone Out There Loves You’, ‘Dead!’ and ‘The Sharpest Lives’. The other three are previously released B-sides, ‘Heaven Help Us’, ‘Kill All Your Friends’ and ‘My Way Home Is Through You’. For listeners who know the original album, the added tracks bring recordings from the same show together with songs previously scattered across other releases.
NME reported that a live version of ‘The Sharpest Lives’ arrived as a streaming teaser last month. Before that, it had appeared on the DVD portion of the band’s 2008 live collection The Black Parade Is Dead!, according to NME. That earlier release distinguishes it from ‘Someone Out There Loves You’, which the outlets describe as previously unreleased.
The band described The Black Parade as its third record, following Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. In a statement quoted by Billboard, the group said: ‘At the time, we could never have imagined what the record would mean for the band.’ Billboard noted that the original album produced ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’, which reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.
NME reported that the anniversary release also includes three new artworks by James Jean, who made the original album cover. The artwork and bonus recordings are part of the planned October 23 edition; the live song is available now.
