Mae is an American rock band that formed in Norfolk Virginia in 2001. The band's name is an acronym for Multi-sensory Aesthetic Experience, which is derived from a concept called Multi-sensory Aesthetic Theory that drummer Jacob Marshall studied while a student at Old Dominion University.
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.

Verse 1: Cm I heard the old man G/B say we need the rain Fm and I can feel it in my G# bones they're aching Cm I watched the sky and wait and G/B wish these waters ease my pain FmG# because my will is breaking Cm If you get next to me G/B and help me find simplicity Fm then you could G# be the one to take me Bb to break me and find my soul
Chorus: EbM7G# Could you be the one to CmG# release me? (oh release me) EbM7G# waiting for your love CmG# oh to free me, so release me
Verse 2: Cm Grey clouds, they infiltrate G/B as every move you make FmG# gets me closer to clarity Cm While droplet drummers lead G/B a complex beat increasing speed FmG# somehow accompanies our intensities CmG/B At first this cloud burst Fm is pulling us under G# lightning and thunder, rain Bb falls and you take me under and find my self
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge: G# so take off your shoes and stay awhile this might be the right time tonight Cm If it makes you feel good then it makes me feel alright G# We should take down the curtains now and make blankets here on the floor Cm the potential downpour the potential for more G# I seize to fight this tension that ignites us in the dark Cm cuz tension causes friction and this friction leads to sparks G# The rain has filled this cup and, before it over flows Cm I wanna take you in now here it goes
