Miss May I release official music video for “Hand Me A Halo”

The third single from Miss May I‘s freshly released new album, “No Place For Me,” is “Hand Me A Halo“, as per theprp. Similar to “Sanctuary,” Garrett Drake and Josh Hart co-directed the music video for this song. The band’s aforementioned eighth studio album is scheduled to be released on October 02nd via Solid State Records.

‘Hand Me A Halo‘ tells the self-narrative of losing one’s sense of self and dealing with the intrusive thoughts that come with it. This song came from our own confusion and loss of identity through the changing seasons of life. The fear can be constant, leaving you to question if you just want someone to hand you a halo. – Levi Benton
