as far as vocals go, Derek is at the top! his pure vocals are unreal! don't compare him to anyone, if you do, you lose! state champs and the story so far are two different types of pop punk, as hard as that may be to fathom! don't compare Derek and Parker, there is no comparison!
He puts so much into his singing, it's so awesome. Not holding anything back. Wish more people were like this. Look forward to seeing them live once again.
comparing him to parker is just stupid, parker yells, he makes up for a voice with the volume he uses. mind you I love tssf but ive seen both them and state champs live and Derek can sing! he has a lot of soul in his voice, stop comparing two different vocalists. not every pop punk singer is the same ffs.
I've always wanted what I can't have and I've been making it a note to feel what's left to feel and put my shoulder to the wheel Everything about me used to have a mind of it's own I've got what's left of me, some positivity and no more waiting on a dial tone because I've loved and lost a cause and that's enough to never let you forget me We've been gone for too long to see this happen again Then again, you're too gone to say that's not what you meant You're crying, I'm not trying I won't let this life get so critical Remember the time you asked me to let go? Where did you want me to begin? Take a stand You know you haven't got what you came for and recently, my counter seems to be the place to be at night You were right, I must be wrong for wanting you to know I let go of the old and you don't deserve to see where it leads me to be and doesn't that make you question why we were here in the first place? We've been gone for too long to see this happen again Then again, you're too gone to say that's not what you meant You're crying, I'm not trying I won't let this life get so critical I'm like a boy lost in a city not wanting to be found Everything is a sight to see until you come back around I'm like a boy lost in a city not wanting to be found Everything is a site to see until you come back around We've been gone for too long to see this happen again Then again, you're too gone to say that's not what you meant You're crying, I'm not trying I won't let this life get so critical
Does anyone know how to play the part Derek’s playing?? Really confused Becuase it looks like he’s in drop d but he’s not playing the bottom string often
Damn … that music that’s playing somewhere in the background is really annoying !! That would be or it still is thou an incredible live acoustic performance 👌🏻👌🏻 awesome
10 years later and this still slaps
Probably the best champs song to exist and the best version. What a piece of history.
Agree, they should release an acoustic version to stream
This song exists to prove that raw talent without auto tune is still alive.
Derek's voice stabs me through the heart and makes me want to cry tears of joy.
+NYRoger24 i know how you feel. feeling that right now
State Champs is one of the best pop punk bands I've ever heard do acoustic. So much soul
I cannot explain my love for state champs. Derek's voice is incredible!
his voice is crazy good
Stop comparing derek to other pop punk singers. Derek has an amazing voice on his own, there's so much passion and he's incredibly talented.

Derek is one of the most talented guys in the pop punk scene for now, he is just amazing
Haven't heard a vocalist this good since Jonny Craig
He's good, but comparing him to Jonny? Come on now...let's not be silly.
+ele2k4 I know right??! this guy is far better!
+Ruben Garcia you're comedic Jonny Craig Is the obvious best..
don't put Jonny Cancer in the same sentence as Derek
definitely one of if not my favorite song off the album and he absolutely killed it.
ugh dereks voice is so incredible
The little riff he does at 1:28 is unreal.
This guy is his own self not anyone else...he's gifted in his own way
Holy shit he sounds exactly how he does on the album, he's such a good singer :P
8 years later I still love this shit so much
Same
This is one of my favourite songs by this band.
My favorite song of State Champs!
Damn so strong.
His voice is absolutely beautiful
He puts so much into his singing, it's so awesome. Not holding anything back. Wish more people were like this. Look forward to seeing them live once again.
3:03 was the most beautiful thing ive ever heard
People are comparing him to Jonny Craig? No not at all. He sounds more like Tyler Carter. He's really good live acoustic as well! Love State Champs!
Wow this song is very hard to sing but he killed it.
+TheShayRetards Ye he wrote it
+TheShayRetards I'd be very scepticle if he couldn't, he wrote it haha
Sean Josefosky I know he wrote it.... The point is that he can preform it very well live and not just in studio.....
I absolutely love this band. Derek is so talented.
2021 and 🤙🏾🤙🏾
why are people comparing him to Parker Cannon all the time, in my opinion both of them are amazing vocalist. but hey, thats just me
that neck vein tho
Annic Pattiwael the jugular
🥺🥺🥺🥺 still the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard
Wont let this vein get so critical
:p. Love
The beauty of his voice is so mind boggling!
he's so good ugh
one of my favorite bands, so utterly and insanely talented.
Perfection. You will obey the neck vein!
I just can’t get enough of this

Come to Brazil, Please..
Seriously an amazing performance. They blow you away live

One of the best voices in the scene, that's for sure!!
so raw and so beautiful 😩
Been trying to hit the first "I'm not trying " note for three days... Derek you are a fucking legend.
Passionate
THAT FUCKING VOICE
So sick
Holy CRAP. So perfect live.
i cant stop listening to this song its so damn good!!!
I've always wanted what I can't have
and I've been making it a note to feel what's left to feel
and put my shoulder to the wheel
Everything about me used to have a mind of it's own
I've got what's left of me, some positivity
and no more waiting on a dial tone
because I've loved and lost a cause
and that's enough to never let you forget me
We've been gone for too long to see this happen again
Then again, you're too gone to say that's not what you meant
You're crying, I'm not trying
I won't let this life get so critical
Remember the time you asked me to let go?
Where did you want me to begin?
Take a stand
You know you haven't got what you came for
and recently, my counter seems to be the place to be at night
You were right, I must be wrong for wanting you to know
I let go of the old
and you don't deserve to see where it leads me to be
and doesn't that make you question why we were here in the first place?
We've been gone for too long to see this happen again
Then again, you're too gone to say that's not what you meant
You're crying, I'm not trying
I won't let this life get so critical
I'm like a boy lost in a city
not wanting to be found
Everything is a sight to see until you come back around
I'm like a boy lost in a city
not wanting to be found
Everything is a site to see until you come back around
We've been gone for too long to see this happen again
Then again, you're too gone to say that's not what you meant
You're crying, I'm not trying
I won't let this life get so critical
his voice is so fucking amazing
Please come to Malaysia! Please!
Saw them at Warped in Mansfield. Such a great show and this song whether acoustic is amazing
so talented.. oh my
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN BE THIS TALENTED? LIKE SERIOUSLY EVERY FUCKING TIME I LISTEN TO THEM I'M AWE STRICKEN
This is awesome. Thanks for posting.
I, alone, am surely responsible for at least 5,000 of these views. this is amazing.
Great vocals, I bet they deliver like crazy at live shows!
Amazing
Does anyone know how to play the part Derek’s playing?? Really confused Becuase it looks like he’s in drop d but he’s not playing the bottom string often
Perfection.

Both singers shouldn't be compared they are both very good.
pop punk at it's best, right up there with hit the lights man
So young

Derek is tha shit!

If State Champs goes on Warped- I will cry. :DDD
Derek and Parker Cannon are the two best vocalists in pop punk right now, so so good.
Damn son how hard this man tried to hit all those notes is insane.
Yes it is.
that dude can sing! holy shit he sounds just like he does on record. mad respect.
his vibrato is fantastic. Vocal envy.
I WAS JUST THINKING THAT!
Derek's passion though>>>>
I am in love with this band.

My head exploded the second he started singing..
HOLY FUCK DEREK MY HEART CAN ONLY TAKEN SO MUCJ
Sounds like Jonny Craig. very very good.
Does anybody happen to know the cord hes playing when it looks like hes barring the 2nd fret?? He does it a few times in the intro.
Probably just a lazy A chord
Are they at The Nitty Gritty ?
Not a single person has coveres this yet o: I MUSTT.
HIS VOICE
I thought this video was about state champs not tssf?
Damn … that music that’s playing somewhere in the background is really annoying !! That would be or it still is thou an incredible live acoustic performance 👌🏻👌🏻 awesome
He is probably the most talented pop punk vocalist right now. IMO anyway. I am sure there are good ones I don't listen to. but amazing
I need to hear if it helps you focus acoustic omg
