What It Means to Fall Apart

Mayday Parade

It's the musical equivalent of looking at your high school yearbook and actually feeling okay about it.

A reflective and warm collection of songs that balance the ache of the past with the peace of the present.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, anthemic chorus of Kids of Summer that feels like a final high school sunset.
The delicate piano intro of Heaven that strips away the rock artifice for pure vulnerability.
The interlocking vocal harmonies in the bridge of Golden Days that showcase the band's technical chemistry.
