God brings music into peoples lives for different reasons. no need to debate if you don't like em don't you don't have to believe what they believe just to like a song
this is actually one of the first songs by Mae I listened to back in 2004. They had it online then although I think it was unreleased until the B-sides came out. Brings back memories XD
Jesus loves you so much that He died on a cross for all our sins, as payment for them, so that we wouldn't have to burn in Hell paying for them ourselves. All we have to do is believe in Him, that He is God, died to save us from our sins, and rose again(defeating death). "For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal Life" ~ John 3:16

I found it! It took me 3 and a half years but I've found it! This song has been in mind since the first time I've heard somewhere I don't even remember where, and now I hear it again, IT'S FUCKING AWSOME! Great bassline! I didn't recall it at all, took me completely by surprise. Thanks for the post, it meant a lot to me.
@blacespace me too! I had it on a CD -- yeah remember that? Then the CD got so badly scratched and I completely forgot the title. it's one of those songs that if you don't know the title, it's hard to find. ahhh. After 3 years...thank you for posting.
@rguki800 Something very similar (involving a CD) happened to me with "Blue Rondo a la Turk" from Dave Brubeck's Time Out, but instead of scratching it, the CD lost me and just until last week I didn't remembered the name and had a hunch on who was the composer… Dark times, but it's all coming back to me now, thanks to wikipedia… sorta…
You don't know how long I've been looking for this song! (Probably only about 20 minutes, but I am a very impatient person). I looked through Mae's discograhpy on Wiki & looked for any titles that seemed familiar, but none of them seemed like this song (For the life of me I couldn't remember the name but I could remember bits and pieces). Then, I typed in Mae & looked for the vid with the pink tree, but I still couldn't find it until I was listening to another song & this was related :) Thanks!
To be perfectly honest, ive listened to this song hundred of times and every time i feel down i listen to it and it makes me feel SO much better. But the more i listen to it, the more i think hes talking about a girl that is considering suicide and hes singing to her telling her not to give up and all that great stuff. regardless though, its an awesome song, and it has definately got m out of some really tough times in my life.
In my honest opinion, it may not necessarily be about suicide or the contemplation of suicide. I think it's just that life seems really tough and she just feels like she should just give up on what she wants most: living the dream, her goals, whatever they may be :) But that's just me xD
Lol, I got them to sing this song by screaming the name over and over again at a recent concert. Afterwards, Dave came by and gave me a sig on the new EP. =D
i love mae so much but i don't know why i don't want them to be so mainstream like f.o.b. and other bands.. hmm.. mae is one of the best there is. they've got talent :) it is also my lullaby to sleep :)
hey I have an idea lets stop talking about what genre it is. It's sparking to much controversy, and such. Listened for the first time right now and I loved it, his voice is kinda annoying at times though
...We just wanted to write music, and the Christian label just kind of came along with it."
"This .... band got its start within Christian music, but soon developed a following with the indie rock club scene. Before long, they made considerable ripples in the mainstream market, helping their latest album debut at the top of the Billboard Christian albums chart."
As going on to the original point you seemed to miss, whether or not they are Christian doesn't affect how good they are. ";)!!!!!!"
"Mae: We understand why we got the label, but it kind of has, not a negative connotation, but a very specific connotation.

Because once you've labeled yourself a Christian band you isolate a whole demographic and on the same token, you're going to lose some Christian fans because you won't call yourself a Christian band....(continued in next post)
Mae is a Christtian-rock band. I believe they said it themselves. They have always been labeled as such (not so sure about their newest album, Singularity, though).
I am not Christian nor religious.
I still think Mae is an amazing band.
Conclusion: Too many biased, ignorant faggots on youtube.
[...while the band members are Christians, Mae is not a "Christian band".] Elkins in an interview that is, unfortunately, no longer up. Some of us do know our stuff ;)
Who cares about the religion of the band? christian or not. It's not relevant. Idiots not only the ones against it but also the ones highlighting it. The members are christian and the influence on the music is minimal. They've said so in the past. So unless the fact that half of the band left had something to do with Mae wanting to become more Christy, that's how it still is.
Alright...some idiot spammed thumbs-down on a bunch of these comments...
Just to say, though, if you don't like the Christian undertones of the song, then don't criticize it. If you think it's a good song, then that's great. Leave it at that.
There are a lot of great Christian artists out there. Criticize one and you criticize all.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I wish this song didn't have religion in it, most notably the Christian bits in the later bridges. If the song didn't have God and Jesus, it would undoubtedly be one of my most favorite songs of all time.
The addition of religion matters because it changes the song entirely. I do not like listening to preachings; hence, I do not like the end of the song.
How about "He's the only one that will be constantly everything you need" line right afterwards or the constant mention of prayer, of faith, to resolve one's issues, to create a miracle?
If you don't believe this song has heavy Christian undertones, then you are the one who need to learn to be more open minded.
omigosh, whenever i hear this song, my breathing speeds up and my heart pumps really, really rapidly. i find myself gasping for air for some reason. like i want to start crying, its like nothing ive ever felt before (other than certain twilight and death note moments]
i really like uploaders name :)
