Miss May I - Echoes (Official Music Video)

[@kburmis]

Levi stated in an interview that the lyrics all came from fanmail, reading and seeing what people are going through in their lifes and feel that its a good way to give back to the fans

[@DanishBroly]

Honestly that’s so heart warming 😢 Damn that’s true love

[@mikehenninger7597]

I lost my wife on July 20th of this year I've always liked Miss May I but this song brings a new meaning now when I hear it, I cry also when I listen to this song now along with the song "GONE"

[@ijirah2051]

I lost my mom on July 20th 2009, i feel you man. Stay strong

[@jacobherman2315]

I’m so sorry for your loss

[@marvin12almeida]

Stay strong bother! Easy said then done but you can do it!!!

[@blame_hoffman]

July 20th 2010 is when I got scooped up by the system for something I didn’t do, and wouldn’t see the light of day for quite a while….

[@EstheticianBrittanyRenee]

Makes me think of my Mom. RIP Momma.

[@rjrobles8469]

RIP. I miss my mom 2

[@matthewm.572]

I've been with these guys for every album. People don't seem to understand that music comes from what is impacting the musician at that very moment they write that special riff, line, pattern, or melody. Miss May I has grown up since apologies are for the weak, and that is clearly shown in their song writing. They've seen more of the world, heard so many stories, and now its bleeding into this record. Of course there will always be that brutal sound on this upcoming album, but i'm certain many songs will have this new sound. This is definitely still heavy, just a lot more of a personal feeling. That's what music is about.

[@Gravitreee]

He wrote this whole album from fans letters telling him about how miss may I helped them get through the issues they were going through. No matter what, They know how to write music and they know what fans want, so either way they always have something that impresses them, that's what I love about music. The album is definately gonna have something that people like even if they don't like this or Gone.

[@MatheusDuarteify]

Once again Miss May I does NOT disappoint us with another sweet album!

[@lobesmcgee]

nobody can accept change can they? I love this song, it sounds like early 2000s metalcore

[@epicbomb2]

What people also don't remember is that you can't sing the same forever the way these bands sing. Plus this is one song not the whole album. Totes man I agree with ya

[@leaox358]

Yeah, they remind me a lot of Atreyu, screaming styles and clean vocals are very similar

[@HiramEscandon]

Yeah bro, but there is a big difference between what you are saying and this kind of music, please, just, listen to At Heart, and them listen this, there is a big hell of a difference, its weird how they change did ya? I mean, thats how I'm thinking

[@Bloodrocutioner]

Absolute love the whole Rise Of The Lion album, definitely agree, cheers bro! \m/

[@Underthejrose]

I agree. I mean it's not like Tim Lambesis is doing much these days. Stylistically, Levi has been paying homage to the nonexistent AILD on this album especially

[@Ash911ish]

People please stop complaining. The fact that one band finally made a whole album based on their fan is amazing. You may not like the vocals or instrument but these lyrics may mean a lot to some people. So just listen carefully before you share your "opinion"

[@Meechy37]

I didn't realize so many MMI fans didn't enjoy this song or album. I thought this song in particular was amazing. The album isn't quite as good as monument or at heart, but it's still kick ass.

[@MrTekkitLPS]

Nick Lozano Really feely, and kick ass. Not every song has to be super intense. It's my favorite song on the album.

[@mikabass]

Nick Lozano my thoughts on that too. I enjoyed it. it seems like whenever a band starts to know their instruments better die hard fans hate it. I have never understood that

[@maxking9670]

Nick Lozano is the procution

[@SoLuti0n_GGG]

Same. Don't get me wrong older stuff was heavier but the sentiment and Neff's vocals in this song really got to me. I've had some very relatable thoughts in comparison to this song.

[@wrestlingpunk94]

Dont know why so many people feel the need to complain, this and gone were tremendous songs.

[@Llamarave6]

Exactly!!! This song is amazing!

[@garrettlanctot3735]

this song is really calming to me

[@VinnyChezni]

This song is really good, I'm glad they didn't do what some people are calling "The Miss May I I know." or as i like to call it, the same shit over and over again. I'm really happy they switched things up.

[@ranchlover]

Damn straight!

[@christiandior3888]

Whats wrong with the song?

[@VinnyChezni]

@@christiandior3888 nothing, I said it was really good. Thanks for reminding me of this banger 10 years later lol

[@jons2937]

This song goes DEEP and hits HARD.

[@PlaguedElite]

My personal opinion, it seems to be about a miscarriage, or in basic a death of a loved one. I love the metaphors in this song and all around the song tells a story. It is absolutely beautiful.

[@adriandiclemente8658]

agree hun.... it's absolutely awesome

[@Lathey001]

This is why I love this band. You guys keep getting better album by album. STAY METAL!

[@docgray9758]

yes!!! that's what I'm talking about. opens up with agonistic type scream straight into the lyrics that are expressed in much the same emotions. and the nice clean vocals to make more deep emotions....I'm so glad I've found this and others in my journey through metal music.

[@waketopher27]

I love how much emotion Levi uses with his hands.

[@Clutchfanatic37]

This is obviously one of their more soft songs on the album, if not their only. Listen to the album preview where you get to hear like 15 seconds of each song. Some are heavy AF

[@linker94]

like gone ? not really a heavy song either

[@murphyps18]

linker94 Wow congrats you managed to find the only two songs on the album that aren't heavy

[@linker94]

murphyps18 good to know

[@RichieKhan]

I am so happy that my boys here keep progressing. I am tired of every band in the genre having the same sound and it just got boring for me. This song has a very old school sound to it while keeping it heavy. You don't need breakdowns to be heavy, this song is very dark and has strong emotions behind it. I am absolutely loving the first two songs released so far, this is by far their best work. I cannot wait for the album, bravo boys!!

[@AssassinFrogg]

Bands' ideas of "progressing" means getting less heavy. Which inevitably just ruins things.

[@Screwdriver4o]

Exactly my thoughts, especially about the very old school sound. It's just awesome!

[@stephen303]

They sound a bit like BFMV. And I fucking LOVE BFMV.

[@RichieKhan]

AjEgerman that is from your perspective. Songs like these takes much more talent and time to write. The melodies, the harmonies, and the laid back drum beats all need to come together to make a strong song such as this. Anyone can chug for 3 minutes and write a song, it isn't hard trust me. Hey but brother if you like heavy music, that is awesome and I truly support it, rock on!

[@quentinbohannon4089]

Just be quiet what do you want the other metalcore to sound the hell your on man

[@kanekiken2376]

Not sure why people hate this song its pretty good, its now my favorite song just barely above relentless chaos. Very beautiful song it got my eyes all teary haha.

[@Auchaell]

shut up kaneki, leave touka alone

[@JacobHTMHF]

Fuck...i really like this...in all honesty why does everyone hate this so much?

[@galacticbeaver]

Because when people hear the name "Miss May I" they expect something a little....different

[@JacobHTMHF]

Yeah i get that, idk i like this style as well as straight punch in the face riffage.

[@SuckyGuitaristSinger]

I don't hate it, but it has WAY too many screams for such a soft song.

[@kaufmana666]

I think there is a group of Illuminati Trolls that just have a shit load of youtube accounts and spam new music with comments of "oh this sucks" or "what happened to my favorite bamd" hahaha I swear every single video I look at of new songs from bands I like they are all over there shitting on the bands. I dont believe they are real xD When the new songs sound the like the classics they bitch and moan about it being generic and blah blah blah... If its fresh or just in the slightest new direction there is an army of people crying about how they have totally changed and they hate it hahahaha Like I said I dont think they are real people xD

[@MetalChiron]

One reason to hate it, it's false metal. Another reason to hate it, it completely sucks and is void of any originality or soul.

[@orionmelton3226]

Why'd I listen to this. I knew I would cry. This song makes me think of my dad. He died when I was 15 of an accidental drug overdose. I miss him so much.

[@namelessenigma]

One of my favorite Miss May i songs

[@BPDesprat]

If you're hating on this album because they approached vocals different, or have one slow song don't stay metal. And don't stay an MMI fan. Support them wanting to add a little variety to their sound. Overall this album is awesome.

[@lizviscelli8982]

I know you're already gone. You're never coming home. I know you're already gone. I face the nights all alone♫

[@jasad9080]

❤️

[@randy7740]

I lost my grandma 4 days ago and I loved her so much,this song hits me really hard she never got to come home and she didn't go peacefully.i miss her so much right now

[@blueheart9873]

Sorry for your loss

[@hollownaruto2340]

So pumped for their new album!

[@paulfernandez9481]

absolutely love this song. 3 years later and its still as good as it was the first time heard it

[@brianthatchefguy631]

one of my favorite songs by them. peaceful :)

[@JONNYBOIZOMBIEFREAKK]

this song got me to tears i know how it feels to lose the ones you love the most in life but always remember in your heart they are never truly gone

[@katies1808]

I Love it. I don't care about what he sounds like or doesn't sound like. The song itself has a very strong purpose and meaning behind it. I really like this song and Gone. They're both fantastic, try listening to the lyrics instead of complaining about his vocals. The raw vocals make this song more powerful, in my opinion. I can't wait for the album to come out. Keep up the good work, guys!

[@inachu]

If you do like his voice then just maybe you will love this song to death! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4eqdX2jiNeliZo

[@Cohen276]

Oh of my best friends was killed in a car accident yesterday. And when I listen to this song it reminds me of her. This is such an amazing band, I don't care if you think they're bad. Yea they changed sometimes bands do it. But miss may I is fantastic no matter. Thank you guys for being you, I'll miss you Kameron, I love you.

[@CuDiSpazzin732]

Everyone is talking crap about this song I just don't get why? if u had seen his interviews these songs are about the letters he received from his fans. I'm stoked about this album I'm getting my copy once it drops, Keep head banging and Stay Metal \m/

[@orionmelton3226]

Never understood why people hated this. It isn't their usual style, but it has a beauty all its own. This song so much emotion in it.

[@iConviicted]

all im seeing is people having a whinge. i think this song sounds great! the cleans, the screams, the drums and guitar tunings sound fine.

[@iConviicted]

Inb4 music elitist who tries to tell me my ears are broken or some shit. When your band is signed, has released 3 albums and does world tours, ill listen to your opinion. until then go listen to another band. MMI are doing fine.

[@markfernandez927]

Shut up if you want cleans, listen to 1D not metal

[@iConviicted]

Mark John Fernandez metalcore has cleans... im not whinging, you are.

[@jimmythegoatlord5490]

Chuck Tyrrell Word.

[@chrisnalder]

I swear I'm the only person that listens to both.. Like everyone just fights about the two it's just... annoying.

[@redbeard19833]

Definitely one of my jams, keep 'em coming!

[@lewisrox23]

By the looks of their album trailer, they do have a lot of heavy songs on the album. For some reason, they're releasing the softer ones as singles. Maybe to attract new fans, but I'm looking forward to album.

[@tcolby29]

I think you're on to something man.

[@mitchellalex79]

I really enjoyed "Gone"! This one doesn't keep me coming back and listening at all. There is no "wow factor" in this track, it's pretty dull... Oh well, excited for the rest of the album still.

[@xenophontis29]

Agreed with the wow factor bit - I guess this was just one of their slow songs, and looking at it like that; they didn't too too bad of a job.

[@DraculaXHunter101]

Oh great, People are disapproving the song because it's different. Jesus this isn't the first time a band wants to change a song style as Miss May I still knows what it's doing. But to continue on there is Metallica's Load and Reload cycle, Megadeth's Risk, Bring Me The Horizon's Seperimental, Sepultura's Roots and so on so forth. I love the guitar harmonies though. Reminds me of Alice In Chains and Breaking Benjamin. Hell it also somewhat reminded me of System of A Down's Spiders. Vocals are still good and it really gets the job done. Echoes is really awesome I can't wait to hear more.

[@migentii]

I love this song and I don't care if it's lighter than their other music. Reminds me of friends with lost parents while growing up and it's so sad. Gives me the chills.

[@jakedavis8194]

Wow, so many people despise this record. I for one enjoy it when bands experiment whether it's this album, Parkway's IRE/Atlas, WCAR's Tracing Back Roots or Deftones' Diamond Eyes/Koi No Yokan

[@dannyboy4536]

This song eats me up every time

[@angelwithashotguncx8070]

The man in black took you from me.. R.I.P Daddy..

[@TheHobbyist180]

Proud of the lads from Miss May I. Amazing performance at Download Festival this year. Perfect opening to the festival! Rise of The Lion, amazing album.

[@NightmareCC]

this is my funeral song, I think it's beautiful

[@chrisandrew7577]

One of my friends and the wife of my high school buddy died of an asthma attack. "They say you had stopped breathing" That vocal melisma is the most beautiful ache I've ever felt

[@efrainaguilarjr]

Who's still jamming to this in 2016? 🤘🏼

[@SliceyBunny]

meee

[@andreaalfaro4726]

*.*/

[@nicot4850]

Dude. For some reason, I just watched like 5 of their videos in a row. I haven't listened to them in a few years and hearing them again after so long is very inspiring. They've made so many great songs and have come a very long way in their career. Amazing group of people.

[@Murf_Workshop]

been with them since 2010 \m/

[@grosspapillon9336]

I really love Rise of The Lion... Lots of heart in this album.

[@ZombieGxrl]

Every band that seemed to know how to continue their careers, Mature as a whole, take big leaps. This is really refreshing cause they are making their own sound, not following the trends. Thank God they're turning into a real metal band.

[@evert1034]

MY HEART I'M CRYING SO SAD..

[@Medusaxcore]

Im definitely excited for this album

[@Hunter-wi3fg]

I love their new stuff In my opinion it's their best stuff

[@davidj.emerson]

I'mma always like Miss May I. Everybody hatin' while they're doing their thing. They make music the way they want to and if you don't wanna follow them, you don't have to. At least they didn't sell out.

[@Q.theProducer]

Loved this track! Can't wait for the heavier shit on the record!

[@drivera318]

First two released songs have official music vids already and they both rock. win for mmi

[@RakuenArts]

This is the music video that made me cry, anyone else felt like that?

[@steinestacado437]

Rose Rakuen no, youre not the only

[@jlopes2427]

This album is incredible. So amazing live. Screw all the people that cant accept change, from the way I look at it is that Miss May I is creating heartfelt music for their fans. They love the music they play and will continue and I for sure will be following!

[@tomsempiternal4485]

stop all the shit talking. miss may I is amazing. end of story.

[@MONKEYMANG1]

I see a lot of people attacking Levi's voice or claiming it has weakened since earlier albums. I'd just like to clarify a few things I've noticed: 1. His voice has not weakened at all since I first saw Miss May I (about 3 years ago now, I believe), it's really a choice of the bands to lower the volume of the screams in this mix, since it is a much slower and softer song. 2. based on his screaming technique, he has not damaged his voice. If you check back to earlier albums, you can see his screams still sound as powerful as ever, although in this song, there is a bit less technicality (I'm assuming to not overshadow the clean vocals). Wonderful song gents! Thanks for always putting out great music.

[@MiguelMartinez-bp9bb]

this song is perfect, total relax, total perfection and obviously is miss may i

[@MichaelMonka]

I dig this, I heard preview of each song. This album is a buy.

[@fili-bardproductions1158]

I loved these guys from their EP to their first album. Then after that, I kinda stopped listening to these guys. I'm not into this, but holy hell did these guys get so much better! Vocals, drums, bass, guitars, my goodness! I'm glad these guys turned out pretty well. :3

[@Rebelj261]

Such a sad video .... Without the video it could be about any family member ...or even someone close together... Just hits home cause I have a daughter 15 months old ..... But awesome song none the less !!!!!

[@dylan6353]

day after my birthday!!! I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!

[@Minty-Fresh_]

At first I didn't like this as much, but once I have it another listen to it I love it. Miss may I will always be amazing

[@grungus7200]

Fuck yeah, this song and Gone fucking rule. Cant wait to hear the rest. Haters gonna hate.

[@P.0300]

I think this song is about a still born Wow I'm so amazed from this band .

[@christianbest6016]

this song is fucking amazing!

[@aaronlowe5663]

Lol didn't realise there were so many music coaches in the comment section telling a successful band how they should sound... There's a reason they have a music video and you don't, because people love the music they make, there is obviously some personal level and touch to this song, which, for me, makes it even better.

[@LuViiCo]

I'm sure Levi never used to sound this guttural, sore throat at time of recording? :P

[@MrJackw666]

It's just their new sound man, him and Ryan had some coaching after At Heart to make a change, but I reckon it sounds ace tbh

[@LuViiCo]

Always nice to go in a new direction! i'm not keen on this particular song due to the slowness of it, I much prefer their more aggressive songs but looking forward to hearing their new vocal sound on the rest of the album!

[@ConvictedGreed]

I agree it sounds really weird... Especially on a slow song..

[@MegaStevie1990]

This is actually a really good and catchy song. I love it!

[@Dantehavok218]

APRIL FOOL'S! Right guys..good one

[@Kingofb0ngstyle]

I love the combo ot clean vocals and screams. Never heard this band until this song. And I pick this as the song of the year so far. Becoming more mainstream is where its at.

[@EllwinNSF]

Damn I forgot how sad this song was.

[@bratcave]

Damn. The cry of pain. Fills my soul ;-;

[@jeremymichaelnt]

RIP Miss May I. I don't know what you're trying to do anymore.

[@giancarlobreakdown7081]

pop core hahaha xD greeting from Perú

[@jeremymichaelnt]

Save Whitey *Slow clap* Good one.

[@jeremymichaelnt]

Giancarlo Breakdown Hah kind of sounds like it! Greetings from the US!

[@giancarlobreakdown7081]

this is sarcasm lol relax bro..

[@kaufmana666]

Think of it like this, they sat around and said, lets do a slower more melodic tune like In Recognition..... But lets not have it be a total shit fest that nobody is going to listen to. Yes it isn't what we exactly wanted.... Its called being diverse to grab more attention from people that haven't given them a chance because they didn't like the earlier stuff. I guarantee this will be a later track in the album close to the end or something. Just calm your rambunctious titties and wait for the album, okay? Okay ;-)

[@Whenvakattaks]

Of Mice & Men releases new album and fans go: "Oh, they suck now, they changed too much. Memphis May Fire releases new album and fans go: "Oh, they suck now, they never change their style. Miss May I released only two singles and "fans" are complaining that they're getting worse. I'm getting tired of people who call themselves fans only to end up hating their beloved band's new works. I as a true fan, love how this album is coming out, and I can't wait for it. Some "fans" you are.

[@MrTHELOVEBUGGY]

wow , its almost like fan-bases are made up of different types of people fucking crazy right?

[@CasuallyFilthy.]

Well that was dark

[@thomasgunsley47]

Miss may I your amazing I like every song that you guys made may favorite is Echoes and your voice is really good

[@vargaa86]

Levi, you want some hot tea with honey or something?

[@YuriFazio.]

There's no problem in this song... I loved this like any other song of their last albuns... And they don't have to make songs in their "style" in every album! They have to make MUSIC !

[@BigBig5]

This is about someones love that died.

[@jamiehodges24833]

I love Miss May I, they're my third favorite band and yeah they sound different from their previous albums but at least they don't sound like every other new band. Love all their albums and I can't wait for them to come back to Ohio

[@exxtella]

Pulling those Michael bohn screams.. Lolz

[@SniperHound426]

Miss May I is going in the right direction! Sick work guys can't wait for the record.

[@Hellchoseme420]

Miss May I be like APRIL FOOLS. Haha no but seriously it's not that bad the 2nd listen.

[@fluffynotfat3894]

miss may i is a great band, this song among many others is awesome!!!!!

[@SuckyGuitaristSinger]

This song would be awesome if it was mainly cleans and only backup screams.

[@SuckyGuitaristSinger]

Ceasing to exist eliminates the possibility of progress.

[@SuckyGuitaristSinger]

If you did that, it's your own fault. No one put whatever object(s) you used to stab your ears in your hand, and no one forced you to stab your ears with it. It's not thanks to this song that you are now deaf and partially dead. It's thanks to your own actions. PS: I'd recommend calling some paramedics.

[@JoshTrainsReyesBfmv]

Wasn’t a huge fan of this song when it came out, but after losing my mom a few months ago, I need this song….RIP mom…

[@Solaniin]

Not bad, just different.

[@seanbenfield5611]

one of my absolute FAVORITE by M.M.I.

[@URBONED]

I think everyone just likes an excuse to complain

[@nikko9078]

couldnt have said it better myself

[@iCraft4]

i think his vocals arent fucked up. when they had started they was just 16 years old and now they are 8 years older... his voice has changed

[@MitchellDee17]

What happened to Miss May I? I hope this isn't as disappointing as OM&M's new album.. :/ Apologies is still their best album.

[@MitchellDee17]

Bay Yay Nah, not nearly as good as their previous work. The fans are justified in being upset with MMI

[@UserNameTaken14]

Idk about this song actually.. It sounds too bring me the horizon. But Refuse To Believe is an awesome song off their new album

[@MitchellDee17]

I don't like the new stuff but Saints, Sinners, and Greats sound like a good song and throwback.

[@grosspapillon9336]

Deion Mitchell I love old MMI but this song is (imo) their best song. It really shows maturity and I'm happy that the band is pursuing their goals of being a more old school metal band and doing well at it. Yeah I'll miss the old sound, but this song is raw.

[@MitchellDee17]

Hank Grossen Based on the responses of a majority of the fans who've been behind them since their first album days I'll sadly have to disagree. This is a step back, Miss May I is Metalcore; not Metal. Why did they take out the killer range in unclean vocals, the fast-paced drumming, great guitar riffs and some cool breakdowns here & there? They brought back the lion only they forgot what the lion meant to the fans and to the band. They should've kept it as a sequel to At Heart ://

[@andreyzhukov7403]

I saw miss may I live about 4 years ago and it was the greatest show I ever went to. About 200 people packed in a bar down town chicago with my demise,devul wears prada and miss may I.. anyway the whole reason I started listening to these guys everyday sense then is bc they are a dope band and anything they make deserves a second listen. If you can write a better song, and pay live.. then critique other musicians. Js.

[@Alexmart721]

um his vocals are fine? Maybe you just don't like the way he's screaming?

[@IamMrPotter]

It's like none of you understand that bands change.. They only have two single out and DONT even complain about Gone because that song is amazing. Instead of complaining why don't you wait until the WHOLE album comes out..

[@trevorbaugh1335]

I got really excited when I found out there was a new MMI album coming out in a few days, as they have yet to put out a bad one yet, in my opinion. But what I have heard so far sounds pretty disappointing, the vocals aren't what they used to be and the energy seems so much lower, especially in the drumming. Also, the production quality seems mediocre at best. If this album is a flop, I hope it is a one time thing and they get back on their feet soon.

[@drivvenmtl22]

I really love the direction they are going so glad the whole scene thing is ending nd the bands are growing into something way way better

[@DanMotionless]

Ehh..not as good as Gone. But this is pretty cool too!

[@GetScaredGaming]

I think this one is better.

[@XxtiabugxX]

GetScaredGaming same

[@GetScaredGaming]

Although neither one of those has got anything on "hey mister" or 'masses of a dying breed" Two very solid metalcore songs. Not really into this band, as a whole though.... Their other work just seems so... average

[@XxtiabugxX]

I agree. "Masses of a Dying Breed" is really good, but something about this song really interest me... you know?

[@GetScaredGaming]

Tia Alvarez I really like the emotion personally, the guitar is pretty sweet as well. Gone is just cheesy as hell, sounds like an atreyu b side haha

[@jessicaamos-currie818]

I dont get why everyones dissing this, ive been a fan of theirs from the beginning and yeah its really different but to me this change is pretty good, you can tell levi has been working on his screams and his voice sounds great, remember guys not all songs from the album are going to sound like this, keep up the good work MMI!
