Mayday Parade - Miserable At Best Live (Studio) FULL VERSION

[@1989sjb]

The song is really good but also really depressing.

[@jonburden1024]

The guy in the yellow shirt is Derek Sanders, the current lead singer of the band. Jason Lancaster used to be the "co-lead singer" of the band until he left in 2007 after the album "a lesson in romantics" was recorded which features this song.

[@jeffolsen7566]

Honestly i dont know if they would be what they are today if he didnt leave.

[@mars-the-ethereal9609]

this is one of those hauntingly sad songs that makes me feel things i cant describe in words, all i know is im addicted to it

[@ellienicole2512]

It annoys me the most when people tell me not to go see them live because they cant "sing." I'm sorry but can you not hear properly? They're one of the few bands that can actually sing good, on their albums, and live! They're amazing.

[@wewillrocku1991]

Ellie Nicole I agree they are super talented, both can sing there hears out. Full of emotion

[@ronswanson505]

Lead singers voice is decent but not strong. The backup sounds like a weak kid, he can’t hold pitch and vibrato for him is out of the question. He has no place singing in a professional band.

[@Atreyufolife]

Gotta love it when randoms act like they can judge singers as if they were professional singers themselves.

[@chrisplaymusic]

@@Atreyufolife very true. Lots of professional singers on the trolls. Lol

HOLY CRAP THEYRE GREAT

[@mariapaolaval3623]

im not sure why people would say not to go see them. saw them this year and i cannot wait to see them again! it's all i think about. their performance was amazing, and it is something else getting to see some of my favorite lyrics come to life

[@acesterman10]

Maria Paola Val The guy on the right is good, guy on the left.. not so much

[@kennethpalmer1849]

Tremendous...beautiful..haunting song.

[@jcatmiller1]

they are both very good singers I just wish that they could have has Jason sing in this :(

[@ozaiskandar21]

Katie, don't cry, I know You're trying your hardest And the hardest part is letting, go Of the nights we shared Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting But compared to your eyes, nothing shines quite as bright And when we look to the sky, its not mine, but I want it so Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight (I know he's there) You're probably hanging out and making eyes (While across the room, he stares) I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes Because these words were never easier for me to say Or her to second guess But I guess That I can live without you but Without you I'll be miserable at best You're all that I hoped I'd find In every single way And everything I could give Is everything you couldn't take 'Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away And the hardest part of living Is just taking breaths to stay Because I know I'm good for something I just haven't found it yet But I need it So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight (I know he's there) You're probably hanging out and making eyes (While across the room, he stares) I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor And ask my girl to dance, she'll say yes Because these words were never easier for me to say Or her to second guess But I guess That I can live without you but Without you I'll be miserable at best La da da la da da la da da Oh oh And this will be the first time in a week That I'll talk to you And I can't speak Been three whole days since I've had sleep Because I dream of his lips on your cheek And I got the point that I should leave you alone But we both know that I'm not that strong And I miss the lips that made me fly So let's not pretend that you're alone tonight (I know he's there) You're probably hanging out and making eyes (While across the room, he stares) I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor And ask my girl to dance, she'll say yes Because these words were never easier for me to say Or her to second guess But I guess That I can live without you but Without you I'll be miserable And I can live without you But without you I'll be miserable And I can live without you but Oh, without you I'll be miserable at best

[@66046]

You just put it perfectly. I am a guy but I can only listen to Mayday Parade when I'm in a terrible sad mood. They're still amazing though.

[@oliviaspeer819]

much better live. got it live on my playlist *dies every time played*

[@mieowkitty]

1 days. I cannot. I'm seeing them so soon.. The band that saved my life.. I'm so in love with this band.

[@Claudiaa00]

Oh my gosh, I die every time I watch this. Serious heart eyes emoji

[@TheGreyArea165]

wow they are so stunning

[@devineggins4]

I see some 2021 comments in here. I love it

[@deepane737]

I LOVE this song!!!

[@TheGreyArea165]

Proud of them♥

[@brantdiabo9144]

Just so all of you know, ALL bands edit their voices a bit on albums. Mayday Parade doesn't do it much, Nevershoutnever doesn't, All Time Low does it a lot, listen to Lost in Stereo. So ALL bands kinda use autotune if you'd say. Mayday Parade is one of the many bands you'll find that doesn't edit their voices on albums and live. I'm done here. Have a good day. c:

[@alexandremanso3766]

Yeah.. But all time low use techno effects.. So they kinda need autotune since they are not robots.. But the singer from ATL has a fucking great voice... Go see him sining therapy at live...

[@sarahthorpe5776]

All Time Low are brilliant live...they only need auto tune for the techno effects on some songs like lost in stereo and Stella :)

[@richardgraf8097]

Honestly, all bands add effects if you will. Their producers have to add Eq and compression or else it'll sound like crap and most producers use melodyne on vocals to fix little errors from pitch, but yeah some people are more talented than others and this band clearly is one of those.

[@Pestmom]

I love Derek's shirt

[@alices9048]

I love e them there my favorite band it the world 😍

[@armandolopezh.6503]

Bring emo bands back!!! 🙌🏼 2020

[@us3r21]

i still love this song but it's never gonna be the same without jason lancaster..... Love the new mayday but, the Old mayday was the one i fell in love with.

[@justinmillermusic8797]

I love this song so much you guys did a great job

[@deborahvood4184]

i love these song

[@erwintare409]

love the song

[@gdfan45]

That's Jake, not some 'other guy', and he's part of the band too. And for the record, I think his vocals are just as good as Derek's.

[@khulyly]

Im cryinggggg

[@mynameisuale]

best band ever.

[@fahdiaa]

How can you be a fan of metrostation? I f he wore that shirt on tour with All Time Low, they must have cried

[@yujielcano4462]

This is for a very long time like year 2009

[@yujielcano4462]

but they just uploaded it in 2011

[@gusmaiawork]

LOVE YOU JASON

[@ILoveMickyMouse]

Love This Song! :D

[@tamara229]

@akemoguy that 'fatter guys' name is Jake and i think he is adorable :P

[@alex85715]

My favorite part of this song is 3:33 - 3:58

[@destinymadera7466]

I like this version too... And he's voice is amazing and he's not fat he's clearly muscular

[@paramore4ever1024]

@Russianforever3 Derek & Jake are the ones singing, Jason is the one who left the band. Yes we all miss him very much, but this happens to all the amazing bands. A true fan would stay their fan no matter what, and you're lucky that you're a new fan, because you don't have to go through missing Jason. He was AMAZING, but we all have to move on. He's now in his own band called Go Radio. Welcome to the Mayday Parade fan family, glad you have good taste in music ;D Hope I helped. :)

[@ImaFanboyMal]

I love how the band put Jake on the vocals too. But this song is not the same without Jason, it never will be.

[@kingdbk]

I fucks with this song

[@athenapenelope7057]

I saw mayday in October and he sings this song a lot better live now. I love them so much

[@NaomiBarth]

YAYYY. AMAAAZING :D

[@debbiemaderal7733]

This is perfect. This song would never be the same without Jason.

[@kierrawalsh]

One of the saddest songs ever

[@kraziicoOL]

Lol to his shirt. Good support

[@tamara229]

@swihart96 hehe yes i agree, he isnt fat just has a muscly build :)

[@cheekybastard7798]

I'm confused, didn't the guy on the left originally sing the first?? But now it was the yellow guy

[@prodkzz]

Jake, the guy on the left, don't sing in the Studio version. Their other vocalist Jason Lancaster quit the band after releasing A Lesson In Romantics, their first full lenght album, so, Jake has to sing Jason's parts in live performances

[@lucasl4876]

@@prodkzz hey and in the music video, Jake voices Jason's voice??

[@Onorrie]

@whitetiger126 Well there are two supposed reasons he left, it's partly because he wasn't getting all of the credit for the lyrics he wrote, but Jake (the one in the off-white shirt) has stated that it was due to him not wanting to tour

[@iainjboswell]

@Codyenjoysmusic @TeeDog086 ...umm Jason isn't there? He'd left by this point. This is Derek and Jake.

[@aziangurl723]

still my favorite song

[@Onorrie]

@TeeDog086 This is Derek and Jake?

[@FreeAmBand]

98% of bands use auto tune. I am in a band and cannot imagine paying loads of money to record an E.P without auto tune. No one on this earth can sing perfectly, no matter how many attempts. Auto tune is a good thing, not a bad thing

[@somethingelse652]

Freddie mercury, chester Bennington, correy taylor, the beatles etc they don't use the autotune

[@andrewliu9596]

Its studio magic .. and it's pitch corrector lol and they practice their arses off to sound the same and even better at live thats it xD

[@MrCodespartan117]

Straight bull, many talented people sound amazing/better with their own voice, it just depends on how much and the quality of the work that they've put into their vocals

[@WhoaKaily]

I love how these guys can actually sing without having to cover up everything with autotune and that shit.... They're actually real. But the only thing is that all of their songs are so depressing... I can only listen to them in shitty moods... Which I guess you now know why I'm commenting on this video. I'm currently living without him... Trying to feel okay by just breathing and being with another mate... But yet I'm still miserable at best. I know she's there Jake but theres still SOMETHING..

[@SarahZabeth03]

I definitely liked jason in it better

[@melissalocicero6680]

I bet they're great live I hope that they'll be at warped next year

[@YankeeYapping]

It's amazing how people don't recognize good music anymore. This song alone beats the hell out of anything Justin Bieber has done and will ever do.

[@antheik5441]

if you're here in 2023 you are a real one!

[@AllTimeLowcorey]

Thats not Jason... Jason left quite a while ago...

[@carlkiller15]

- in the music video, they were both singing opposite parts ..

[@AustixTV]

I wonder why jake didn't sing the beginning like he does in the studio version

[@kellinplaysthevidjas6611]

Because in the studio version it's their old singer Jason. But the video was shot after Jason left so Jake pretended to sing Jason's part

[@Josh_themexican]

KellinPlaysTheVidjas the video makes sense now thank you!!!!

[@AbbieBeddall]

I'm not 100% but I'm pretty sure that Jason wrote this song for anyone wondering. He might have had help but I'm sure he said in an interview somewhere that he wrote it himself.

[@diegovercesi]

I agree with you in everything you just said, but Jason's vocals were the best =D

[@FruitsBasketFanGirl0]

omfg Derek

[@MusicScreams101]

I miss Jason.

[@3ace13]

(Haven't learned names yet) but the guy that replaced Jason just seems so tense and has stagefright, like he doesn't wanna be where he is.

[@jtorres8639]

thats a great shirt

I know there is no drums for him. But I've seen multiple videos though where he seems soooo uncomfortable.

@TeeDog086 ???

[@thedespondentshadow4123]

They might use it as the studio but this proves they can come pretty damn close to the original... and have you heard popping champaign By All time low? Are you sure miserable at the best is more auto tuned than that?? xD that's kind of harsh

[@TheKlauspc]

that Metro Station shirt tho...

[@tamara229]

@akemoguy haha i didnt think u were, just a bit rude referring to him as the fatter guy, thought u'd like to know his name
