Jacob Marshall and Dave Elkins began what would become Mae by writing their first song, "Embers and Envelopes", in Marshall's living room. The band signed with Tooth and Nail Records and released their first album, Destination: Beautiful, in 2003. They released their second full-length album, The Everglow, in 2005. The band toured extensively to promote it, and also performed on the Vans Warped Tour. Mae re-released The Everglow in 2006, adding three new songs and a 2-hour DVD.
Later in 2006, the band announced that they had fulfilled their contract with Tooth & Nail and signed to Capitol Records for their third full-length album. Mae began recording the album in the fall of 2006, working with producer Howard Benson (who has produced albums for Saosin, My Chemical Romance, and Relient K). It is titled Singularity and was released on August 14, 2007. On June 19, 2007, the band released their first single from the upcoming album titled "Sometimes I Can't Make It Alone".
Mae split ways with Capitol Records in 2008. The band has embarked on a year-long independent project, releasing one song every month with all proceeds going to benefit humanitarian projects of the band's choosing. The first four months were compiled into the (m)orning EP. The next four months will be released as (a)fternoon and the final four as (e)vening.
According to Elkins in a 2003 interview, while the band members are Christians, Mae is not a "Christian band".
On September 24, 2007 Mark and Rob parted ways with Mae.
The two replacement members for touring are 20-year-old Josiah Schlater on bass and Robert Smith on keyboards. Schlater and Smith are members of the band Tokyo, also from Virginia Beach.[5]Official site: http://www.whatismae.com

Epilogue
MAE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This concludes the everyglow by Mae
I hope you enjoyed your journey
Goodnight
The song Epilogue by Mae is literally the conclusion of their album Everyglow. The lyrics seem simple and straightforward but it portrays an emotional, introspective message. As the lead singer says "Hello Again" he's saying goodbye to the listener and thanking them for going on this journey with them. The way he states "everyglow" can be a metaphor for the various highs and lows, triumphs and failures in life. The singer hopes the listener enjoyed their journey which can mean they learned from it, grew from it, and ultimately will be better for it.
The following line of "Goodnight" can be interpreted as a final farewell, but it can also mean that the journey is not necessarily over and that there might be a continuation of this journey but for now it is time to rest. The song can be seen as a way for Mae to end their album Everyglow in a positive manner by thanking their listeners and looking forward to what comes next. The lyrics can give the listeners hope and inspiration to continue to strive to do better, learn more about themselves and others, and to ultimately find their own version of happiness.
