MAYDAY PARADE SHARE NEW SINGLE & VIDEO FOR “MIRACLE”
It’s no small feat for a band to consistently bring out songs and records as strong as the last over the best part of two decades, well that doesn’t seem to be an issue for emo heavyweights Mayday Parade and today they are adding to that list with their beautifully emotional new single “Miracle”. Since taking their musical output completely into their own hands after 2021’s “What It Means To Fall Apart”, the band have spent this year releasing singles when and how they want to without the pressure of label demands and deadlines and it’s produced songs that fans of all eras of the band will love. The latest offering “Miracle” pulls on the heartstrings as vocalist Derek Sanders channels drummer Jake Bundrick’s past struggles lyrically atop of acoustic guitars before the full band kicks in to really drive home the emotion of the song.
Speaking on the song Bundrick says: “‘Miracle’ is a song I started working on during our Sunnyland record (2018) and didn’t fully complete until after we finished recording our What It Means To Fall Apart record in 2021. I was in a darker place in life during that span and was silently fighting for air. I felt alone and scared to talk about my feelings with anyone else including the people closest to me. Life was happening way too fast for me and I wasn’t ready for it or able to accept what was happening. I felt alone and knew I needed to talk about it but didn’t know how. Organically the song just came together and was the culmination of that entire span of time. Life moves faster than you can imagine and as much as you think you’re ready for what it throws at you, it can catch you off guard. It definitely did for me.”
