Biografi Miss May I


 

Miss May I adalah band yang berasal dari Troy, Ohio USA. Miss May I mengusung genre Metalcore dalam musiknya. Band ini beranggotakan Levi Benton pada (vokal), Jerod Boyd pada (drum), BJ Stead pada (gitar), Justin Aufdenkampe pada (gitar), dan Ryan Neff pada (bass / vokal).
Dengan Line-up seperti ini Miss May I mampu menghasilkan musik metalcore berkualitas dan menghasilkan album-album yang sangat sukses di pasaran.


Miss May I mengawali debut albumnya pada tahun 2009 dengan judul album "Apologies Are For The Weak" dengan lagu andalan mereka yang berjudul "Forgive and Forget" dan bisa di bilang album ini sukses di pasaran.


Lalu pada tahun 2010 Miss May I mengeluarkan album ke dua mereka yang betajuk "Monument" lagu andalan mereka di album ini ada dua, yaitu "Relentless Chaos dan Masses OF A Dying Breed". dari hasil pantauan saya dan hasil searching saya di internet, menurut saya Album Monument adalah album yang paling sukses dari semua Album Miss May I, bahkan di tahun 2011 Miss May I mengeluarkan album dengan judul yang sama, yaitu "Monument (Deluxe Edition)" beda album ini dengan album sebelumnya menurut saya tidak ada, karena jenis karakter musiknya masih sama, yang membedakan hanya ada beberapa lagu baru disitu, di album "Monument" Miss May I hanya mengisi 10 lagu sedangkan di album "Monument (Deluxe Edition)" ini Miss May I mengisinya dengan 14 lagu dengan 4 lagu baru.


Dan pada tahun 2012 ini Miss May I mengeluarkan album baru mereka yang berjudul "At Heart" dengan 2 judul lagu andalan mereka yang menurut saya anda harus mendengarnya, yaitu "Hey Mister dan Ballad Of Broken Man". di album ini Miss May I lebih banyak menuliskan lirik lagu tentang cinta. dari hasil yang saya dengar, hanya beberapa lagu saja yang menceritakan tentang sosial dan politik seperti album-album sebelumnya sisanya menceritakan tentang perasaan.


Miss May I sendiri sudah melakukan serangkaian Tour di beberapa wilayah belahan dunia dari awal debut album mereka "Apologies Are For The Weak", "Monument", sampai "At Heart".

Di Indonesia Miss May I sudah dua kali gagal melakukan konser, yaitu pada awal tahun 2011 lalu akibat dari badai salju yang melanda Ohio sehingga menyebabkan Miss May I menunda konsernya. 

Lalu pada bulan Juni 2012 lalu, kali ini yang menyebabkan gagalnya konser Miss May I di Indonesia adalah pihak promotor yang tidak mempunyai komitmen untuk membiayai ongkos biaya penerbangan dari Amerika Serikat menuju Asia, sehingga berakibat batalnya serangkaian konser di Asia Tenggara dan Cina.


Kabar mengenai pembatalan konser tersebut dilansir sendiri oleh pihak Miss May I melalui laman facebook resmi mereka. Pembatalan tersebut berkaitan dengan batalnya konser mereka di Jepang.
“Kami sangat menyesal mengumumkan, diluar kekuasaan kami bahwa terpaksa kami harus membatalkan konser kami di Jakarta, Singapura, Bangkok, Cina dan Jepang. Kami menemukan minggu ini bahwa promotor di Jepang sudah tidak berniat lagi untuk meneruskan perjanjian yang kami telah sepakati dengan mereka.” Sebut Miss May I dalam laman facebook mereka, Minggu (27/5) kemarin.

Asking Alexandria - The Road Lyrics

Street signs, so many street signs pass me by every night and
I know tomorrow I won't recognize the world
Home bound, but I want to be home now
Two more months of empty faces standing there screaming up at me
And I don't know why

I wanna go home I wanna sleep in my own bed
I want a normal life again
Is this the end? Is this the end?
No matter how hard I try, all I know is the road
All I know is the road

Save me, can anyone save me?
I don't know who I am anymore
This was supposed to be the dream
You don't see the pain in my eyes?
You don't hear the pain in my words?
I'm just stuck here cold and alone with no one beside me
And I wanna go home

I wanna go home I wanna sleep in my own bed
I want a normal life again
Is this the end? Is this the end?
No matter how hard I try, all I know is the road
All I know is the road

And you wonder why I'm out of my mind?

I wanna go home I wanna sleep in my own bed
I want a normal life again
Is this the end? Is this the end?
No matter how hard I try, all I know is the road
All I know is the road

Asking Alexandria - Until The End Lyrics

This isn't me any more,
I need something to believe in

If you think you've seen the last of me
The flat line has come and gone
but wo't take me away
I'm tortured
By this dream I've manufactured
War torn
From the inside out but it makes me stronger
I'm not the person you see
When you look into these eyes
I've got a reason
To believe in something more
I know there's something more

I've heard it all before,
but I won't sing my last song
'til I'm flat out on the floor
I've longed for so much more,
I wanna be the best that I can be

I'm sick and tired of being admired,
I don't deserve this pedestal you've put me on
All I want is to be proud of who I am
I brought this hell upon myself,
now I gotta see it through 'til the end

Asking Alexandria - Moving On Lyrics

A boy of anguish now, he's a man of soul,
Traded in his misery for the lonely life of the road.
The years were cruel to him no,
He won't let them go.
Lays awake tryna' find the man inside to pack his bags and escape this world.

I've never been so torn up in all of my life,
I should have seen this coming.
I've never felt so hopeless,
Than I do tonight.
I don't wanna do this anymore, I'm moving on.

He wanted to change the world, to make it all worthwhile.
So he put his pen to paper and poured out everything inside.
He's read the scene and unpacked the man that he had became.
So leave him trailing on the fast track to falling into his grave.

I've never been so torn up in all of my life,
I should have seen this coming.
I've never felt so hopeless,
Than I do tonight.
I don't wanna do this anymore, I'm moving on.

I can't believe I've come so far in such short time,
And I'm still fighting on my own.
I fucked up to catch my breath I may never breathe again, so just know this:

I've never been so torn up in all of my life, I can't believe I let myself break down.

I've never been so torn up in all of my life,
I should have seen this coming.
I've never felt so hopeless,
Than I do tonight.
I don't wanna do this anymore...

I've never been so torn up in all of my life,
I should have seen this coming.
I've never felt so hopeless,
Than I do tonight.
No I don't wanna do this anymore, I'm moving on.

A boy of anguish now, he's a man of soul,
Traded in his misery for the lonely life of the road.

Asking Alexandria - White Line Fever Lyrics

As I breathe my disease brings me to my knees
All you need is a taste it'll set you free
Your infection's my discretion honey, one and the same
Counting second til I'm medicated, fucked in the brain

I don't want this baby, I just need it to carry on

I got the white line fever and an appetite for sin
If there's a black hole headed for hell then baby count me in
I sold my soul so long ago, a bullet in the chamber with nowhere to go
If there's a black hole headed for hell then baby count me in

I sold my soul

Licking every drop of poison off a pocket of keys
While some daddy's little angel's getting dirt on her knees
When the sun goes down the filth run free
You'll never find a finer specimen of filth than me

I don't want this, I just need this to carry on

I got the white line fever and an appetite for sin
If there's a black hole headed for hell then baby count me in
I sold my soul so long ago, a bullet in the chamber with nowhere to go
If there's a black hole headed for hell then baby count me in

I sold my soul

Some have said that I'm the devil and it's just as well cause
I've been through and burned down and rebuilt hell
With my heart in a vice and a knife in my back
I've got a noose for the world that I'm painting black

I got the white line fever and an appetite for sin
If there's a black hole headed for hell then baby count me in
I sold my soul so long ago, a bullet in the chamber with nowhere to go
If there's a black hole headed for hell then baby count me in

Asking Alexandria - Break Down The Walls Lyrics

Close your eyes and leave all your fears behind (it's alright)
Close your eyes and follow me until the end

So if you're hopeless
We can pick up the pieces
And if you're broken
I can carry the pain
Are you with me?
Watching the flames rise higher

Sing this with me
I break down the walls
I want it all
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
I scream and shout
'Til the lights go out
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
We won't take this
You can't break us
We won't stop until the world is in our hands
I break down the walls
I want it all!
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground

Don't let go
We carry the torches high (always burning)
We've come too far
To throw it all away
So are you with me?
Watching the flames rise higher

Sing this with me
I break down the walls
I want it all
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
I scream and shout
'Til the lights go out
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
We won't take this
You can't break us
We won't stop until the world is in our hands
I break down the walls
I want it all
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground

I light the mess
I watch it fall to the ground
As the embers rise
And the smoke fills the air

I break down the walls
I want it all
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
I scream and shout
'Til the lights go out
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
We won't take this
You can't break us
We won't stop until the world is in our hands
I break down the walls
I want it all
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground

Asking Alexandria - Poison Lyrics

Incompetent son of a bitch, keep your tongue tight
Cut your losses you're on thin ice so tread light
I don't wanna listen to your "he said, she said" shit
Keep your mouth shut and listen motherfucker
I can't stand this, it was never meant to be so hard
Satisfaction was supposed to come and ease my heart
I don't feel this anymore, I need to get away
All the love in my heart can't even find a way

These words they fall off my tongue like a poison
I hope they kill you all
I hope I never see your faces again
I wanna watch the whole world burn down
I wanna watch the world burn
I wanna watch the whole world burn down

I won't pretend I'm not disgusted with everything you are
I won't deny that I'm revolted by everything you say you stand for
Where do I go? What do I say? Where do I draw the line?
Can I move on? Can I let go before I lose my mind?
Am I alone after everything we've suffered through?
Feels though what once was us has dwindled down to me and you

These words they fall off my tongue like a poison
I hope they kill you all
I hope I never see your faces again
I wanna watch the whole world burn down
I wanna watch the world burn
I wanna watch the whole world burn down
