If anyone was wondering, all those bracelets on his right arm are from fans, he never takes off a single one of them. He has one from his daughter on his left arm, he also never takes that one off. He's such an amazing person

[@cuddle.bug.pets5]

Jaysus he has hundreds of them he has to take some off but he keeps them all

[@jmz1736]

Yeah, he’s got a rotation

[@barlowskijones7453]

The bracelets STAY ON during sex

[@mikefoushee9975]

Doesn't help him sing any fucking better...

[@IamMrEgg]

@@barlowskijones7453 wtf lmao

[@baileymorris4990]

If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of my heart breaking

[@rayguhl7182]

Bailey Morris I can hear it lol deff a badass song.

[@natalievalle6395]

Bailey Morris same haha

[@joellim7010]

no. i don't think so

[@Subarasheesh]

I heard mine 💔

[@MK-ym7vx]

Ya’ll so dramatic

[@JaypeeFromYT]

Those bracelets are from the fans of MP. Derek always wear it and refuses to take them off. That is like a sort of remembrance to him. That is how MP love their fans :)

[@lHaZzeRecon]

His right arm is for his daughter, that is why he only has one on that arm, from her.

[@lHaZzeRecon]

***** Opps, I suppose so. Thank you for correcting me!

[@NinaOro]

looks like Derek's about to cry all along the song... i just wanna hug him and snuggle him all day

[@ChicaRawwr]

I love the way the sun goes down while he sings this sad song

[@Jewry1989]

Its 2019 and still listening to this song!! 😭😭

[@ashleyhautalamusic]

I was obsessed with this song last summer and I'm pretty sure I've listened to it a million times in a row. It really helped me get through a hard time and I'm still in love with it.

[@destinyradabaugh7773]

preach

[@erickabautistalopez6602]

Ashley Hautala same😩

[@ShebaandMelinda]

Derek singing Jason's parts is so beautiful

[@ShebaandMelinda]

+LikelyLyrical no I don't? It was Jake in the music video but the actual vocals with Derek on the whole of Tales Told By Dead Friends and A Lesson in Romantics are by Jason Lancaster, not Jake Bundrick. Jake was used in the music video because Jason already left the band at that point. The only time Jake sings on the whole of ALIR is at the end of Jamie All Over, he's nowhere on the original Miserable at Best :) listen to Jason's vocals and then Jake's, you can tell (a huge) difference ☺️

[@peircetheveilforever]

He was seriously singing from the heart. The way his voice was shaky, made me think he was going to cry. I love him so much

[@hunterjames7920]

Mayday parade will never be the same without Jason Lancaster, but i will always love this band

[@destinymadera7466]

Love how he wears all the bracelets his fans give him

[@courtneybellmore4508]

Those are all bracelets he has gotten from his fans. I personally love that idea, that he has that much love and appreciation of his fans to show it.

[@iamadarxsh]

20 March,2024. Sill this song is one of the most honest songs of all time. Gets me goosebumps everytime I listen ❤

[@KenniyandLee]

I love how much emotion is put into this.

[@basedhahn]

am i the only one who loves the rain and thunder in the background? idk i just think it adds so much sadness and emotion t it. Love this song so much!

[@jessicamarie0215]

He wears all the bracelets his fans buy/make for him. It's pretty great of him actually seeing he gets so many.

[@katie14sa]

Am I the only one who noticed that the sun came out and shined all its light upon him just as he finished the song!!?? Beautiful

[@georgiawalker8712]

I think this is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

[@miaramirez7105]

why is Derek so perfect >.

[@jackbard2623]

That multiple bracelets is the true definition of scene

[@yourvoicemysound]

this is the most beautiful thing i've ever heard. don't mind me, just drowning in my tears.

[@kapitanvhanzz7438]

It breaks me apart just listening to his sweet sweet voice. Nothing beats a song made from an honest heart

[@taylorlewitter9490]

This is so heartfelt it makes me wanna bawl my eyes out But at the same time sit in a depressed mood But then again I wanna singalong so....

[@elizabethmawson1993]

[@Teddie182]

I met derek for 10 minutes, he sung two songs and signed my guitar.. Derek, I love you man!

[@tora9077]

2018. This song speaks to me alot.

[@kaylarat1]

Thank you Zach, for writing this song. It's done a lot for me. Makes me cry every time I listen to it. Funny how much this song makes me think about my last relationship.

[@kodyolerud]

He didn't write it lmao

[@joseposada1340]

[@taylorhogg9269]

honestly, this is my favourite song from Mayday Parade, it means soo much to me, everytime i hear it i get teary eyed, i really hope i learn this one on the guitar. this is so beautiful... his voice, the music, everything.

[@jaspahhsam2141]

you can hear the pain in his voice and eyes, these are the people i listen to, the ones that put emotion into their music and mean it.

[@KT-bb2ti]

[@Lcumberworth]

[@CZsWorld]

[@loganmessenger6414]

[@tomoyaokazaki2138]

[@michaelhowell2809]

[@miashepherd7260]

[@katiealexander5307]

This is such a good song...I cried

[@Mrsallaboutme101]

is it just me or dose it sound better with just the guitar and no other instruments in the background. Just the guitar and his angelic voice.

[@mandyybbyyx3]

[@courtneycook4105]

I love how the sun comes out at the end.

[@Aimeelouiseflynn]

[@angelicalacio3671]

still loving this song

[@Dr3amCatcherz]

This Song Always Makes Me Cry! Derek I Love You!!

[@AbbieBeddall]

two fun facts ;) The bracelets were apparently bracelets that fans have thrown on stage and he wears them constantly, also Jason (I saw in an interview somewhere that he wrote it) wrote this song originally for him and Derek to sing together, so it's not really a cover. but omg his voice

[@MonsterMusicCovers]

Him not writing it set aside, it's still an emotional song. And given the subject/theme of the song, I'm positive that many people can relate to this song, or draw emotion from it. Especially, if they're the ones singing it. There's a lot of emotion in playing music, and in listening to it as well.

[@JulianWorden]

Why is no one commenting on the fact that the video is titled "Mayday Parade" but only Derek is in the video? Makes sense. Pisses me the fuck off how no one ever cares about anyone besides the singer of a band.

[@Senkxi]

+Julian Worden Because Mayday Parade is what people know, not everyone knows the singer's name.

[@JulianWorden]

kSav regardless, they still shouldn't title it like that.

[@Senkxi]

Julian Worden Perhaps they're referring to the actual song artist, which is the band. As you can see in the description, it says Derek Sanders.

[@Kostas1601]

+Julian Worden This is a Mayday Parade song, it's not Derek's song, they wrote it as a band that's why the video says Mayday Parade. It's a standard thing for only one or two people in the band to perform somewhere. The front-person in a band will have the largest portion of the publicity, and its part of their job, that's why they're called the frontman or frontwoman (usually the singer). Mayday Parade fans know and care about all the members of the band.

[@imaginethat3024]

you're right, Jake deserves his credit too

[@skittlesscreamrawr]

oh my god derek sdohdfhdho aw you're so cute i can't handle all these emotions aw this video is so perfect tysm for creating this video wow everything about mayday parade is flawless

[@ashleywilkerson4050]

I love this, he seems so genuine and heartfelt. He's perfect c: I hope he knows it.

[@briannabrunner2961]

The guitar part is flawless and i love our voice :D

[@mgracex]

this is so beautiful omg

[@xKerenzax]

You can tell he's singing this from his heart. The way his voice quavers and shivers, the way he looks up quickly and then back down at his guitar. I love him so much.

[@malwusek258]

NOTHING is better than Mayday Parade! :D

[@lilybovril]

He's the sweetest person in the universe :*

[@MaisyRose]

This song.. Ugh

[@grace26xO]

Love you Derek! Love this song! And of course, I LOVE Maydayade!

[@SummerGirl709]

There is so much emotion in his body language.

[@MaryLovesKidrauhl]

this gives me so many feels

[@adriennerichards7698]

is it bad that every time i listen to this song i cry or almost cry no matter where i am

[@chrismino9991]

no :) not at all you gotta be yourself and if a song makes you feel a certain way who is anyone else to say something about that? Do you:)

[@VictoriaAntonetti]

this song takes me back ☺ loveeee it and him ! x

[@exohJackayyy]

i'm crying this is soooo beautifulll

[@jimitheemokid]

the ending was perf the sun came out on him,wow amazing song!:)

[@gwad1995]

if someone tabs this out i will be forever grateful!

[@djboston6654]

Makes me cry everytime

[@TheDudeOnTheDrums]

stunning version of this song.

[@Drizztt]

What a beautiful song!

[@Kostas1601]

Look them up... definitely worth it..one of the best bands out there in the Punk rock scene...

[@Conversegirl1331]

That was just so beautiful and perfect

[@ApPern]

sinking with this song

[@Sunshineheartyou]

This is my favourite song in the whole entire world

[@yanefatima8684]

so nice , love your voice

[@stefficheong248]

this makes me emotional

[@zilchy5234]

Derek is an angel :)

[@SummerGirl709]

Seeing the sadness on his face breaks my heart.

[@sofilust]

this song makes me so depressed but ill still listen to it 10 times in a row

[@alondraadepp]

Derek is an angel

[@squirlybmx]

This. I get emotional every time I play Under the Bridge by RHCP because the girl I learned it for saved my life. You don't need to be the writer of a song to show emotion when you play it, that song just has to connect with you deep inside.

[@HanPan123Allstar]

His voice is so beautiful. They will forever be my favourite band

[@nevi200]

hi, do you remember this comment? i hope you are fine, greetings from my house :)

[@miarevans6684]

The first song I ever listened of there's was this one. honestly I think there perfect Fan since 2012

[@luigihijklmn]

Yes. Because, if you put emotion into a song that you're playing, the feelings that you have don't exist simply because you specifically didn't write the song. This song brings tears to my eyes whenever I play it. Are you saying that I'm not capable of feeling sadness, just because I didn't write it?

[@aprilquintero8189]

this is so perfect

[@carolinehaught4981]

This song is my stress reliever

[@iknowyou6831]

Derek's HAIR OMG 😍😂😂

[@taylorlewitter9490]

I love this song so much!!!
