There's so many layers to this song that I haven't processed yet, but it's objectively great. I hope an album announcement happens soon. And I do hope "Our Love is a Painted Picture" is on there somewhere. I love that song as it is, but I so prefer albums over individual songs to the point that individual songs take on a new life for me when I listen to them in the context of a full album. I don't know how many actually share that sentiment though and it's probably been too long since its release.
There is so much going on with this song. Help with the lyrics: It was better to start with something. Together we'd play, but then we both left off with something the right way. And when the sunsets lost its wonder, together we've paid. With broken hearts and eyes of thunder, but no rain. The wrong pain, yeah. True, wasted love, sustained in doubt. Pretend we turn the key. I'm 5 light years from you calling my name. Table games have come with a price. Where it takes us, God and the dealer wise. It makes love fools of us, but no shame. You are the wrong game, yeah. True taste of love, but laced with doubt. So elementary. I'm 5 light years from you calling my name. Goodbye my love if I don't see you again. I'm 5 light years from you calling my name. All space becomes freeways for hearts and all we played was war. Yet, it came along the wrong way. Yes, it was the long way. If grace and love sustain throughout, we tend to hold those keys. Goodbye my love if I don't see you again. I'm 5 light years from you calling my name. (repeat)
This is really, really good. Definitely the most I've liked any of their new stuff in a long time. It's nice to hear some heavy guitar again.
Not sure how I feel about this. There are parts I really enjoy: the heavy guitars, space/ethereal vibes, and the lyrical content. However, there are also moments that remind me of my least favorite parts of Singularity. Definitely excited for new MAE though.
I just listened to the new song. Holy cow. It's wonderful. Now I'm listening to Mae in the office for the rest of the day and grinning from ear to ear.
Song is great. However, I've never understood this band since they became a 3-piece. It seems like the last 10 years has been them just constantly in the studio teasing new music, me thinking a new album is right around the corner, with only a song or two released here and there. I'd love to get a proper follow up to Singularity.
No idea. I'm hoping it's not some kind of album release because that means it will be October before the #newmaejams we've been waiting over 3 years for are released.
Exactly what I’m wondering If there’s 1 thing about Dave that o know, it’s that I multiply whatever he says by at least 3 or 4. “Soon” means 3 years I guess. Can’t believe OLIAPP was released on JUNE of last year. I mean isn’t their hashtag #newmaejams 3 years old too? I not as mad as I sound, just really want a new album..time to listen to the new track again..
everglow repress is up and has been on sale for a few hours - already got mine but there are copies of both variants still for sale on spartan records go go go
I'm betting (hoping) that when the new website launches it will have the preorder info, tour dates, etc. I can't imagine that splash page will be there much longer.
Got an email today from Spartan Records that they're repressing The Everglow, one of my favorite records ever! Mae -
Yeah I'd read elsewhere it was going to be coming in the autumn months. I imagine those 'Mae Day' performances are album release shows with something a bit more special. But who knows?!
