Mae - "Embers and Envelopes"

[ayemyow]

listening to their music it's like the year hasn't passed by..

[tomharding]

They played this last night, it was suuuuppppeerrrrbbbbbbb.

[TheFletch827]

This was an AMAZING heartfelt album. This song meant a lot to me. Reconciliation.

Can somebody please tell me what happened to this band, I didn't keep up with them unfortunately I got into folk and bluegrass music? Any other album suggestions?

[TheFletch827]

@TheFletch827 Not unfortunate that I discovered folk music, but that I didn't follow Mae.

[lemonsqueeny]

@TheFletch827 i saw them last night in southampton at a small venue, they were really good. i myself lost touch with them after the everglow. they have loads of good songs from the next 4 albums, although 3 of them have purely instrumental stuff. brink of disaster is one of my favourite songs which is from singularity - think it was them trying to go mainstream (??). nonetheless it's still an enjoyable listen! rocket is also great!

[TheFletch827]

@lemonsqueeny Thanks. 

[lemonsqueeny]

@TheFletch827 i thought they had split up last year though so maybe this is a farewell tour? i hope not!

[lemonsqueeny]

@TheFletch827 one more reply for you! all of their albums are on sp0tify (can i say that on youtube?) so worth venturing on there!

[k0rn102]

This is the music that i've been looking for

[spatzenbrett]

@PantherShadow1 they've just done EVERYTHING with EXCELLENCE : )

[summerwasabummer]

I love this band so much, but this video is not good.

[FunWithSexbad]

@ShadowDark97 multisensory aesthetic experience

[leonardoelais]

PASSADOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOO

[FastmanPoker]

PantherShadow1 and FacesInTheSand. You are both duche bags.

[TheUltranebi]

hands down guys..

[MegaUchie]

great song...!



[SaidTheDolphin]

I just checked this out cause one of my good friends are named Mae haha

[xXxXphantom]

on a serious note: Mae deserves to have more views than this -_-

[LenLoVe91]

so bad

[evangelinsp]

its this song! oh! thats when i heard the chorus..!

[theoldgeezernextdoor]

How could u dislike this???

[SamanthRossi8pie]

@theoldgeezernextdoor right! but good think the dislike bar is like sorta non exstisting.

yeaa, brightsideee

[KaaaaateKaleidoscope]

Can't believe I've only just found out about this band!

This song has been on repeat since last night O.o <3

[dizwod]

@KaaaaateKaleidoscope What a shock... they are like amazing, shame they no longer exist :(

[KaaaaateKaleidoscope]

@dizwod Fer real? Fml! That sucks >.<

[dizwod]

@KaaaaateKaleidoscope I know im deverstated, I saw them once, and only listened to them as they were playing a festival so downloaded some tracks and fell in love with them

[TypicallyHuman]

@dizwod They may have a tour in England soon though :) YEYYEYEYEYYE

[edwinmusic]

Perfect!

[HiMyNameIsMark18]

if your an 80s baby you gotta love the music video , even the ones born in 88 and 89 :P

[likeitornot889]

I remember listening to this song when it first came out, and then humming it the next day at school and my friend asking me what I was humming. Then when I told her she had no idea who they were and I remember being shellshocked thinking that a band that awsome obviously everyone knew who they were. Aparently not. :p

[FacesInTheSand]

was this (both music and video) ahead of its time? 'Cause even in 2011, it sounds and looks kinda hot still

[omgstoptakingnames]

@FacesInTheSand lol what do you mean this song hasn't even been around for too long.

[tkaminsk]

I agree this is sooo 2013

[iaminvoluntary]

@FacesInTheSand Because this is timeless

[jouneyman5000]

this takes me way back...to a simpler time. actually, all of Mae's stuff does. i've always loved their sound

[xShadowSpartanx]

Newport News/CNU here.

I must admit though, I like their older stuff more than their new stuff.

[Josieman543]

looks so 80's!

[FireEmblem92]

I'm from Newport News, VA :)

[Daylatefriend13]

This is their only good song, their songs are so slow they make me wanna go to sleep. Even though this one is slow it has a good sound to it.

[maidenofrohan]

Guys check out Jacob Marshall 's new project River James. they have two songs Fragile and Arlington, its on my channel if you want to see :D

[cradleofjade]

@maidenofrohan i thumbed u up but then i thumbed u down since i cant see ur channel >.<

[maidenofrohan]

@cradleofjade lol its okay i will fix that. for now if you can youtube search river james mae (since just river james brings like christian music) it should work. but i will fix the privacy settings of my channel.

[denimchick00]

saw them live on their Goodbye, Goodnight tour. Best concert ever <3

[treddshort]

wouldn't be surprised if i grew a vagina by the end of this song!

[rljpink]

I just noticed they shortened all the chorus' for this song.

[balongets00]

the video is the most worst . but the music is fine but not good .

[Daylatefriend13]

@balongets00 I definitely have to agree that the video is horrendous. This song is their only good song.

[noheros3]

@Daylatefriend13 booooooooooooooo

[Holybuffalo]

Seven people are deaf.

[thakatspajamaz]

@MrTopHatCat same, I'm a rap/hip-hop/banger junkie now, but this band is still legit after 5 years of listening to it.

[gwynneio]

I saw them live and met Dave. He was so nice!

They were super good.

[TheSexyThreeSome]

this is awesome..

[YayYayWoot]

We snuck into one of their shows to see them because it was over 21!! Love them!

[tab3061]

Mae reminds me of being 13

i just turn 19 yesterday and I still get the same feeling i did the 1st time I heard their songs. They will always be one of my favorite bands.

[amberpetriece]

@tab3061 reminds me of 16 =D now im 22. ah good times good times

[tab3061]

@amberpetriece haha that's awesome, if you live in southern california, their playing at the glass house november 12.



[dat757sk8er]

im from va! too NEWPORT NEWSS

[birdablaze]

omg highschool

[whisperandsecret]

0:57 He looks like Wilson!

[ugesbjhnk]

so mellow

[dustneogirl]

They are better than Owl City. Classic and underappreciated.

[jfsj513]

@dustneogirl I definitely agree. Are they often compared to Owl City? Cause I don't consider the two all that similar, at least based on what I've heard. The fact that they're a full band changes the dynamics a little.

[pinpoint45]

i want to ask why these guys aren't more famous, i mean, they toured with owl city for gods sake...

[KatCrazily]

lead singer's from my high school, apparently (:

[Ndawg867]

wow so um this song = Perfect

[xtremeskilzfrombirth]

It really reminds me of Panic at the Disco at some points.

[inkintransit]

@xtremeskilzfrombirth

..... no. lol

Not even close. Plus this song was out WAY before Panic. lol

[xtremeskilzfrombirth]

@inkintransit

I'm just saying that certain parts for instance the chorus remind me of the way Brenden Urie sings and carries his notes out. Like the way he sings 'To write this down as means to reconcile' sounds similar to a lot of their songs.. And it only came out a year before.

[MadHair99]

LOL, my name is Mae! I used to hate it because I'd get teased so much, but as an adult I appreciate the uniqueness of it.

[nuggetsrawesomexx124]

this song makes me soo happy

[tango779]

These guys have a great sound! Kind of remind me of Anberlin. Thanks Tony!

[OblongTeaFilms]

Dude!!!, is this a serious song. it sounds so stupid. His voice is creepy and the look on his face is too and the lyrics are a bit messy

[99bbobb1]

@OblongTeaFilms  all it is, is the songs atittude, thats all

[garrettbymers]

I'm so bummed they're breaking up :(

[davish06]

this song is a cross between postal service and anberlin

I LOVE THIS SONG =P =P =P

[mewithoutyou789]

there great

[GanstaTyler]

why arent they more well know yet THIS BAND IS GREAT

[dolde]

It astonishes me how much this vocalist sounds like Big Bird.

[MrAnonymous1123]

hit f5 to skip advertisement?

[mewithoutyou789]

there alright

[drummlers]

those kids look like winners. im not sure they've realized theyre in a band and should probably get a new wardrobe

[Thatrandomkid95]

@drummlers Obvious Troll is OBVIOUS

[subtledraws]

i cant stop listening to this :| :| :|

[veryclassycassy]

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH I AM DATING IT:)

[humdiddlyum123]

Just another classic one of their songs...Excellent music, but they could do better on the music video.

[humdiddlyum123]

Just another classic one of their songs

[moviechic07]

Im really diggin this song...

[themusicsheek]

@moviechic07 who doesn't? probably the best song on that entire album!

[EmoKid3711]

im a scene kid but i like to think of myself as at least somewhat different from the rest...i'm also a christian, and screamo is not my favorite genre, nor is punk. i like prog-experimental-indie-rock type stuff. this is a great song, one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard.

[matthewmisery]

I'm from Virginia! At least something good came from this shithole. :D

[guitarsticks27]

@matthewmisery I'm from Virginia too and I couldn't agree more!

[love2sing614]

@matthewmisery haha :D yuppp!

[jon14887]

@matthewmisery dave matthews band came from virginia...

[matthewmisery]

@jon14887 I was originally referring to the fact that they're from Norfolk, Virginia, which is where I currently live and was born. Dave Matthew's Band is from Charlottesville. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[owiseone35]

@matthewmisery Move to North Carolina. I'd take being back in VA any day.

[DNDelli]

@owiseone35 Well I am from NC, and I love it. :D It is a beautiful state.

[Daylatefriend13]

@matthewmisery I must say that I have to disagree with you. I am from Virginia and there is a lot of good things that come from there, my son and myself included :)

[chilichunk]

@matthewmisery along with dave grohl if you remember him?

[theashaleextreme1]

@matthewmisery Me too!

[lostroadalboin]

@matthewmisery ya cuz Mae's so much more important than George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, or Robert E. Lee

[welsamz]

@matthewmisery hahah!!

[underlinedbluetext]

I used to be on board for bands like this. But some faggy kids took it way too far. Now, we have bands that completely rip off this genuine style. Scene kids are the reason why emo music is fucking lame. They forced it into becoming a fad. And fads die hard. I gave up after 2007, it just became so unbearable. Sad.

[mrcolinsopus]

Why give a shit what others *do" to a band? :S makes no fucking sense. either you like a band or you don't. End of. I'm not emo or a scene kid and I love this shit. Grow yourself a mind and little free will and you will go far my friend

[underlinedbluetext]

Well... I'm here aren't I? And you have a point. Thanks bud.

[TylerMansmith1229]

@underlinedbluetext No i agree with you about scene kids. He's saying that they made it into a fad to the point where all of it just became shitty and all sounded the same.

[Cocoaness09]

Love this song, Just the lead singer looks like a creep and scares me but great song love it!

[Goatseeee]

great song, horrible video

[CauseAndCatastrophe]

love this ^^

hey everyone my friends and i made our own embers and envelopes music video featuring the new version of this song, i'd greatly appreciate if you just give it a try? its the only video response haha thank you in advance if you decide to check it out! :)

[someone2355]

um.... ahahaha...they all look like special ed kids.... and whats with the random shit that keeps popping up in the background...wtf?

[TheColorOfDesire]

@yippiedog2

Actually opening your mouth wider creates more resonance and helps create a better tone for a lot of individuals. So yeah, opening your mouth wide helps.

[TylerMansmith1229]

@TheColorOfDesire

that's what she said. lmaoooo sry i had to, but yes i agree with you

[friendorfoo]

Hasanyone see the Uk musice video for Foo Fighters - times like these? Its done in a very simular style with the band standing in a line etc.

wonder who directed them

[ffafdaly]

i knew them just for "ATTICUS 3" CD

im glad :D

they are a goodddddd band :D

[intendu]

@ffafdaly my too! wasnt it this time is the last time? good stuff

[AbyssalRose]

A-mae-zing. Sorry i couldn't resist :P

[westbound714]

i see what you did there, you clever little person, you.

[westbound714]

@AbyssalRose

[kair1316]

i saw them when they came to hawaii with owl city. mae is amazing:)

[charcoalc5]

i got into mae from all deliberate speed and embers and envelopes...great band

[CalemRahl]

He opens his mouth a bit too wide in this video lol but good song.

[thexonexwhoxrox]

thats how you get the sound to come out lol

[CalemRahl]

For opera singers maybe lol

[thexonexwhoxrox]

so you want him to close his mouth? :P

[CalemRahl]

a little more..yes :P

[dogeymon83]

I think it took a while for them to make this music video. The tall skinny red-haired guy was not on the back of my album I got at the store. It was some other dude. Who we'll never see again, I guess.

[dclemnutz4]

owl city ripped them off  good god

[MariahShanksYou]

00:13 lmao

[tigergurl]

This is one of my favorite songs. LOVE it. And LOVEE them. =)

[EpicFunnys]

I love the song, love the band, love, love, love the album!!.. But who the eff directed this video!!??!!... why the hell is there car freshners floating the background?!?... lmfao!!... and the band looks ghey standing in line playing their instruments!!.. the close up shots are epic lulz!!!

[megabodom121]

OMG :D

i just say the city i live in when they should that map :P

but any ways they sound great 5/5 rate

[anewamericanclassic]

Awh. Mae at their finest.

[RawrLeslie]

mae is pretty much growin on me lol

ever since suspension..

i know. popular song, but thats how i found them.

[jadefalcon5]

the synth backing at 2:52 is so perfect.

possibly my favorite song.

ever.

[Willowearthe]

Mae's just perfect. :3

[MESiEembark]

this brings me way back, i used to check tooth and nail daily back in middle school, this is 2003 for sure :) love embers and ens.

[underanalog]

Minus the close-ups on the lead singer...this video reminds me of something Weezer would do.

[1fatalityx]

the songs good, and you have to give them credit on the video. At least it's creative :P

[sk81630180]

owl city is amazing 2 hello seattle fireflies

[Adem114]

Really Cool Edit

[SquishiMaster]

the lyrics are so sweet! Pretty good band.

[raider164]

bwahhh ha ha this was cool when i was about 15. God damn the look like such puds. damn the sure now how to break it down and be hardcore at 2:00 too....SOO PUSS

"listen to the mars volta and have your minds blown"

[Zai35]

And you're incredibly good at spelling.

[TasteTheRainbowRawr]

I Just Fell In Love With Mae All Over Again...<3

[saksjn]

oh... ok... lol

[JBsweetie123]

AWESOME song :) :) :) but the video is a little weak.

[o1xwish]

The lyrics in this one are much better than the ones in the new version. ; -;

[saksjn]

did they change the lyrics?

[xxeriksxx]

This song is amazing. <3

[turdboyproductions]

good,song, lamest vid everr tho... sorry it just is

[xoslongxo]

thats why we have a minimize tab on web pages :P

[boredouttamymind8]

haha niiice aint that true

[Nichi481]

I have to agree... the video is weird, but the song itself is incredible!!!

[airbird42]

hey honey ;)

yeah...this song is good...calm. I like it. The blond is cute too. :D

[jdsman2008]

This song just plain gets me going.

[sweets159]

LOL my names mae

[ColonialFifer]

I'm from the Hampton/Norfolk, VA area (cool that the map is at the beginning of the video) and someone told me about this band yesterday. I had never heard them before...and I wish it stayed that way. Good to see local musicians make it, but...not my cup of tea.

[mrallex]

cool man

enjoy your generic shit that all sounds the same, i'll be over here having good taste

[saksjn]

just go listen to the album The Everglow and tell me its generic s--t.

[mrallex]

i was saying that mae is good, and that people that don't think so probably like generic shit.

[puppetlance]

the lead singer is hot wif long hair!!heehee

[tatertot1281]

they're so young! love this song & video.

jacob is my fave. :-)

[macandcheese411]

i loveee thiss songggg

[naydude99]

this song really freaks me out somehow

I like it

[XodiOS]

did they break up or something?

[Shawnathan]

No. The bass player and keyboard player left. The other 3 remain and use temp bassists/keyboarders for recordings and shows.

[siegfred484]

awesome classic

[xxCristycravexx]

I love Mae.

Oh how I miss them....:(

[xxxkissmekillmex]

old mae :(

i miss them

[jtwon315]

lol the drummer is wacking his drumsticks everywere!!!!
