I absolutely love how the music video for this song is a live performance. The song then becomes more mellow and picks up again at the outro.
Right before the the third verse, lead guitarist Alex Garcia gives us a beautiful solo. My hero, she’s the last real dreamer I know / And I could tell you all about her / I don’t think I’ll fall asleep ’til I roll over / Can we just start over again / And I can tell you all about her / I don’t think I’ll fall asleep ’til then The chorus is shared by Derek Sanders and the drummer/back-up vocalist, Jake Bundrick. It’s another breakup song, which makes a lot of references to dreaming about someone you miss. It starts off with a smooth riff, with a nice touch of string accompaniment, reminiscent of the first track. It’s no wonder why this is the song they end their sets with. It’s not the first time, but this one really carved it in / Tell your new friends that they don’t know you like I do / It’s over / I wanna see you again / I wanna feel you again… The best part in this story of dealing with heartbreak is the bridge, where you can hear the choir: Just before it goes into that second verse, you hear the hi-hat come in and the song starts to pick up. You can hear him playing some simple piano chords as a violin slowly dips into the chorus. When you’re alone, do you think of me? / And my diamond ring’s thrown out to sea / And when you love, do you love for me? / Like harmony, a never ending dream The track starts with Sanders’s nice, crisp vocals that everyone in the emo/pop punk scene knows best. The composition of just this one song perfectly sums up Mayday Parade as a band. Starting off with their classic breakup single, you already know the overall feeling of this album. To celebrate the tour announcement (even though they’re not playing in Houston–lame!) and one of my favorite albums, here is a look back at Mayday Parade’s Mayday Parade.
It is my personal favorite, and lead vocalist Derek Sanders’s favorite by them as well. Out of their 6 studio albums, their self-titled still has some of their strongest work. Their self-titled album was released on Oct. Mayday Parade announced their 2022 tour, the 11th Anniversary Self-Titled Album Tour, last week.
