The result is an album built on impassioned vocals, sing-along choruses, and deeply heartfelt lyrics.įrom the album-opening “Never Sure”-a tortured love song driven by blistering riffs and pummeling drumbeats-Mayday Parade instill all of Sunnyland with unbridled energy. Whether they’re taking on a folk-infused ballad like “Always Leaving” or channeling brutal punk fury into tracks like “If I Were You,” the band sustains an undeniable intensity. While much of the album explores personal matters like loss and love (as on the stirringly romantic, piano-laced “Piece Of Your Heart”), songs such as “It's Hard to Be Religious When Certain People Are Never Incinerated By Bolts Of Lightning” emerge as an outward-looking burst of anger. “That song was written within months of Donald Trump being elected and came from feeling upset that something as horrible as that could happen,” says Sanders. “But even though there’s a lot of negativity on the song, there’s still a hopeful chorus, because I think we need to try to stay hopeful.” And to close out Sunnyland, Mayday Parade deliver the album’s stripped-back title track, a melancholy midtempo number that unfolds with graceful acoustic guitar work, delicate harmonies, and subtly detailed storytelling. The one that worked best for that song just happened to be really, really long.Since making their debut with 2007’s A Lesson in Romantics, the band has sold over 1.1 million albums, steadily amassing a worldwide following. We just title them whatever we think works best. Yeah, when titling songs, we try not to have boundaries. its unbelievable I cant even describe the feeling. Its such an adrenaline rush when you run out on stage and everyone starts cheering. Meeting kids who like our music is great, but my heart beats for playing it live.
