i think this is mae's worst song personally, the other songs are so much better and his voice is also the worst on this one.

Personally, I don't like his voice in this song: I LOVE LOVE LOVE Summertime and Skyline Drive. God Summertime has got to be the best song. ^.~*

First, this song is a great one. Of course it reminds me of sarah a lot so that could be the reason! As for the meaning of the song, I can't quite put my finger on it. Sometimes it seems like love for another person, regardless of gender. Or concern for a good friend. Or respect. Second, I'm not really sure Mae is Christian Rock. I mean, "the One whose glory never ends" seems to hint at God but if the one is lowercase than it could just be a person. I suppose that's left to interpretation, but the other songs don't really mention religion and all that. Until the next!

yeah, I could see it being related to a girl, until I got to the line talking about seeing the one whose glory never ends, then I started wondering if it may be about god, so if they actually call themselves a christian band, I would be interested in knowing

please post lyrics to "soundtrack for our movie" by mae :) this song might be about the writer's method of dealing with hardships in life "We write things down as means to reconcile." and how sometimes it's not as easy to solve problems, but it also gives us a sense of hope, and how everything is always worth a shot "Make the change it's worth a try. What's broken can be fixed tonight." but then again, thats just me.

"I'm just listening to this for one of the first times, and the lyrics look God-related. Pretty cool, pretty cool." Yeah, it's because they're supposedly Christian rock... I did a Yahoo search on em for more info on the band, and I came up with all these Christian rock sites and radio stations and such...

Great band. Most likely they'll break out and get a little more mainstream pretty soon, which could be a mixed blessing, but good for them. I'm just listening to this for one of the first times, and the lyrics look God-related. Pretty cool, pretty cool.
