AP Acoustic Story: Mayday Parade, "When You See My Friends"

[@JonQuint772]

2023 and this acoustic version still slaps like it did 9 years ago.

[@nicolasartanis1585]

Wow... You can tell that whenever Derek performs this it brings him back to those emotions he felt during the time this song is about... So beautiful.

[@lydiakay8492]

it's so beautiful yet sad.

[@falloutgirl6953]

Mayday parade are so underrated

[@cherrybeetree]

Falloutgirl69 every single song manages to make me cry

[@MyChemicalLove011]

+Falloutgirl69 Good. I feel like people can appreciate their music more, instead of burning all of their songs out on the radio like music from now. That makes them more special to me imo

[@briannacarver8456]

+Falloutgirl69 But I LOVE that. if band like mayday parade and all time low and others were as popular as the mainstream artists there would just be so many more fake fans and people who just DONT really appreciate. I love that when I'm listening to their songs and somebody asks me what I'm listening to and I'm like "mayday parade" that they say "oh I don't know who that is" for so many reasons. maybe I'm just the only who feels this way, I don't know

[@miarevans6684]

+Brianna Carver I constantly mention mayday parade and like people have no idea who they are which is a shame because Mayday Parades songs have so much feel to them and emotion. not to mention that there perfect and Dereks voice Is just wow :D

[@Jaigles]

+Miarevans Evans nothing without Jason Lancaster. maybe just a little something though cause I saw mayday last year and they we still amazing. but Lancaster adds more to the affect. They both just have so much emotion but different sounds and it makes a beautiful mix.

[@kaitlynzecookie]

he just sounds so pained singing this and his emotions shine through.. overall, he's just so amazing.

[@SelexaSykes]

His voice sounds like he's trying so hard to hold it together from falling apart on video.....Derek sings emotions.

[@starstrucklilly9024]

MaydayTheVeil He does that in every single song...Thats why I love Derek's voice so much. He doesn't just sing those songs. He actually feels them..You can literally hear the pain in his voice..I just feel like hugging him every time!

[@shinergirls123]

You can see some parts where his voice gets shaky ;_; aw. But really he is a fantastic musician and puts so much emotion into his music. As well as the rest of the band. Thank you so much derek for all your moving and beautiful songs

[@g00dbyegravity]

I don't like how sometimes Mayday has recently been considered a band for girls, if anything these lines really relate to guys because they're written by a guy. I relate to this entire album, unfortunately. I'm an OG fan, but this album was a way to bring me back

[@Willismcnillis]

That's crazy? Pretty much every song reminds me of an ex girlfriend or a current one. Beautifully heartbreaking

[@benkocur8375]

I know right!?! It's the same with all time low!! Both bands, maybe more so mayday, are songs for guys to relate to and yet people think they are bands for girls

[@nathanaelsalazar4194]

Kyle O'Connor oh hell yea bro.. i can surely relate to a bunch of his songs, NOT only a girls band. Lol

[@lordwillus5141]

His hair is so perfect

[@cherylpamelapaje8565]

Fuck life for not giving me a voice like Derek Sander has. I love this man so much.

[@awinfamadico3014]

The way he sang "give it up for the long nights". Chills man, chills.

[@saruhhstatic]

i fell hard for this album i have a tattoo inspired and all and im barely seeing this nearly a year later.

[@EdwinTobiasSonic]

[@timothy1787]

He is the nicest guy ever, I've met them 2s in london, I have lovedddddddd MP for years, sadly 1 of my best friends committed suicide 2 years ago & I got to choose a song for his funeral & I chose "everythings an illusion" - MP story telling is on another level

[@tylerb9583]

I love Mayday Parade, and I have loved them for almost 2 years now. Mayday Parade has became the only thing that keeps me going somedays. So I stumbled upon this video, and found it was posted on my birthday. I know I'm way too late, but I thought I would get this out.

[@safariguide1590]

I'm burned out like a bright light I wasn't ready for this You're adorable as hell, but I'm glancing at your wrist Oh, please have faith I can be so cavalier And when they start to ask questions I'll make sure to be clear When you see my friends, tell 'em "Hi" for me Tell 'em what you think about the way you handled everything You turned and all you left me with was this broken key So tell me what you think And give it up for the long nights And all those terrible fights Were you honest with yourself, every version of yourself? Did you get lost on the side of the road? If you keep acting this way, I swear I'll never come home When you see my friends, tell 'em "Hi" for me Tell 'em what you think about the way you handled everything We walk alone on this broken road for eternity So give me company and help me sing this lonely melody You turned and all you left me with was this broken key So tell me what you think Sign me up, no regrets, make a man out of me And I won't say a word And I'll give all the things that you want and I need Just to give me some peace At the bottom of the ocean there's a place for you and me Lead the way straight ahead You gave me the time of my life And it cut like a knife to the bone When you see my friends, tell them "Hi" for me And tell them what you think about the way you handled everything So neat and clean well the world is filled with such pretty things So do your best for me

[@JosheyG34]

I would go nuts for a mayday acoustic album. Kindof along the lines that sleeping with serirens did

[@IndraArfiande]

They made one back years ago ...

[@kisa6143]

+Indra Arfiande The Valdosta EP?

[@IndraArfiande]

Yes, that's absolutely right.

[@annamiller3097]

"Your adorable as hell but I'm glancing at your wrists"- gets me every time

[@andrewwhitaker6819]

The feels of this song are to much

[@erinspiegs]

This is a beautiful song. Im so glad I got to see them sing this song at the PTV / ATL concert earlier this year,

[@kriziah579]

This song makes me feel a lot of feels!

[@Raven5927]

I always come back to this video, Derek is so talented. This is part of the reason why I love music so much.

[@emilyc5874]

This is an amazing song and its so beautifully sung... i just... I'm crying because he puts so much emotion into the songs when he sings and.. he's just such a great person.

[@Zippezoe]

Started crying when he started singing. It has been 10 mins since and I am still crying omg this is perfect.

[@jaeunsworth5491]

I really love Mayday Parade, I miss your concert

[@xnb92]

I seriously love Mayday & this song! My heart started racing with emotion when her started singing .

[@ImaPirateinabox]

Too fucking perfect, i'll always love mayday parade they've been with me through a lot.

[@khalisyazid]

Got to catch them in Singapore and they had to do an intimate acoustic set cos only three(Jake wasn't there) of them manage to get here due to some unforeseen circumstances. The songs played were just beautiful and the crowd had back up vocals covered

[@kaleabrandi]

Im so happy. I saw them live yesterday and they were so amazing!

[@alexissalcedo5606]

hes so amazing and beautiful I love his voice - Forever a Mayday Parade fangirl

[@emobanana22]

"You're adorable as hell, but I'm glancing at your wrist." the feels really hit me with that part.

[@TheJapanFreak7]

The birds chirping in the background, and his voice, and the emotion is just so powerful. I love this so much. ♥

[@abbier4]

I come back to this every so often. Always gets me🥹

[@priscillawigginton7448]

Absolutely perfect

[@Drizztt]

SO BEAUTIFUL.

[@dietcohke6985]

[@angeloguilas8057]

Who's still watching this video in 2019?

[@emmacarlson9078]

I am not emotionally prepared to see you guys at warped tour.

[@mojitocolada2436]

I know this band for 2 days now... and I love his voice and the lyrics.. *-*

[@stephhenderson716]

You're adorable as hell But I keep glancing at your wrists

[@phsycoticchicken47]

Oh please have faith, I can be so cavalier

[@NotToBlame]

And when they start to ask question, I'll make sure to be clear

[@phsycoticchicken47]

WHEN YOU SEE MY FRIEEEEENNNNDDSSS

[@NotToBlame]

TELL 'EM "HI" FOR ME

[@phsycoticchicken47]

AND TELL 'EM WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE WAY YOU HANDLED EVERYTHING.

[@wildbillbfclw]

Can't get enough of this song!

[@stevewode]

I met him at a concert in Denver in 2008. Nobody recognized him but me and I had a good five minute chat with him (and strangely enough, his mother) without interruption. Very cool guy..amazing band.

[@rebdeadwithmusic5448]

His voice is so beautiful

[@SGTCOrDie]

I'm crying. This song is just so perfect.

[@EmilyBeautyxx]

This is perfect like always! Derek never disappoints with acoustic performances! I cant wait for their new album!!

[@CrewsOfficial]

Great performance. Really enjoy this band. Met them at the Warped Tour a few years back.

[@LRaminNods]

Beautiful.

[@Sendtheshutter]

Was this cameraman drunk?

[@JeffreyDeSousa]

Awful stuff.

[@NovaBeadles]

No but I am lmao

[@user-xh5wb8eu5y]

This left me smiling like a sentimental weirdo.. I love you, Derek.

[@miarevans6684]

Oh please have faith I can be so cavalier and when they start to ask questions I'll make sure to be clear

[@ashleywilkerson4050]

This is amazing.:D I love how he wrote this about his own personal experience. I'm a huge fan of Mayday parade.

[@SUICIDALxBUNNYS]

This song makes me cry whenever I listen to it...

[@bvbbridesmaid13]

Mayday Parade is and always will be the most talented band I know

[@Riceer1]

Where you honest with yourself? Every version of yourself? you can hear his pain when he sings that, 23 year old male and he brings me to tears. That's why I love mayday.

[@MrTHEGUITAROCK2]

I watched the video and played the lead guitar (Alex's part) along with Derek :) what an amazing song!

[@mshuerasalazar]

This band saved my life

[@lukemiranda9072]

Derek's voice should be able to put any human to sleep at night, in a great mood.

[@whitefox2506]

God I swear I love him and the whole band.

[@MegaMichiee]

Most beautiful voice I've ever heard :3

[@EdAlex58]

[@hanne-elisestherhaug6161]

[@kellinsigh847]

[@ulovenickjonasxo1915]

He is pure perfection

[@lucasgleue2007]

Great song!

[@mangoe5]

[@teddyscloud]

This is beautiful x

[@walwin]

This is utterly heartbreaking :(

[@RinixP04]

Perfect ♥ my favorite band :)

[@Andonysis]

Love this!

[@jayceemotionless4511]

His voice is beautiful

[@alyssaamodeo5035]

The camera guy is just terrible.

[@ShadowzI1]

Man the story is different but I feel the same pain. Everyone left me all broken and moved on and I'm still trying to pick up my pieces. I may never feel better again but I can at least feel comfort with trying to process everything with this song and the emotions.

[@kassy0626]

Oh the feels

[@destinyhenderson6697]

[@lynettenevalga9103]

I love you DEREK !

[@Kk-fj5tn]

IT WASN’T JUST A PHASE, MOM!!!

[@emileegiffin6340]

He reminds me of a teacher that would be cool and be like 'Lets have class out side today.' and then sit there and just sing to us all. CLASS OUTSIDE!!!!

[@stevewode]

It was a Madina Lake, Meriwether and Mayday Parade show at the Marquis

[@CookieMonstaa814]

[@williehimmi]

Derek can show me a good time any day!

[@Brenda-cg7xq]

DEREK ME HACES LLORAR, CARAJO

[@3cheersfor5years33]

Anyone know what guitar Derek is using? It's absolutely amzing, or it could be that he's an incredible guitarist, but either way, anyone know what guitar he uses? (I know it's Briarwood... but what series or model?)

[@toasty246]

i NEED a tab for this :o

[@alexcarter7813]

They're from where I live. Tallahassee. My brother in law went to high school with them.

[@Mishy82193]
