Pop-punk royals Mayday Parade just made this fall Friday a little brighter with the release of their new track and accompanying music video for “Miracle.”
Preceded by 2023 singles “More Like A Crash” and “Got Me All Wrong,” “Miracle” takes a deep look at mental health struggles and how it’s sometimes hard to talk about your feelings with your support systems. The lyrics “Hold me close, don’t let me go/Hold me close like I need a miracle,” sung by Derek Sanders gently intertwine with subtle, inviting guitar rhythms.
Check out the new music video for “Miracle” below.
“‘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,” says Mayday drummer Jake Bundrick. “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.”
He continues by sharing, “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.”
Lucky fans with Mayday Parade tickets may be able to hear this meaningful, introspective song live. Check out the band’s live fall international dates below and grab your tickets here.
