State Champs "Elevated" (Acoustic)

[@r3v3rie23]

Derek has one of the most beautiful voices in the pop punk scene

[@Tduder92]

Derek is unreal. Can we please take a moment to realize that he truly does have the very best voice in the pop punk scene.

[@HeartYougdda]

Not only in the pop punk scene. In general.

[@Rob_Cary]

You gotta have the sweet and the sour. The honey and the vinegar. Derek's the honey, Parker's the vinegar lol. Both are amazing.

[@777malmo]

This was my first love's favorite song in the entire world. He died sunday in a car accident at 19. He said he wouldn't make it to twenty and sure enough he was right. I'll love you long time, Dylan😭💔

[@maydaymorgan4464]

im so sorry

[@777malmo]

[@tristanjenkins8831]

Mallory Fraser my deepest condolences to you

[@TheDestro500]

Stay strong, my condolences go out to you.

[@777malmo]

Thanks guys. It means a lot. Its been five months.

[@starcharger17]

I'm really enjoying the acoustic version of this song more than I'm enjoying the regular version at the moment. It's easier for more to understand the lyrics!

[@emorybeats]

I'm so happy that I can come back to State Champs and still feel like I'm hearing them for the very first time. Absolutely love these guys.

[@giomedina7272]

I dare to say that it is the best pop punk voice today.

[@Karamiehorse]

I absolutely love what this band is all about!! I just wished they would have done an acoustic version of Prepare to be Noticed.

[@dian171]

Ngl, hear this song makes me remind about summer 2014/2015

[@charl7540]

Ah this is heavenly!!! Wish they'd do another acoustic session for rooftops

2019 and this is still one of the oddly peaceful songs I listen to when revising, deffo need to include this in one of my intros sometime

[@DustinPoynterVideos]

The Story So Far is definitely my favorite band, but I'm sorry, this EP is gonna kick their acoustic EP's asshole. Derek's voice just fits with acoustic music a lot better. So good.

this is awesome! the intro really reminds me of the acoustic version of for the world by transit.

[@manuu9702]

Pulled aside as if I was the wrong one, You said it all and you made me the lost one. Elevated by your greatest mistake, now I'm all alone. I bet you couldn't tell that I felt the same way, Struggling just to get to the next day. I'm not force fed lies while I'm by your side. Shaking your head doesn't change this. Preparing myself for a train wreck, I can't be saved. So tell me why can't you see This is where you need to be? You know, it's taken its toll on me, But I don't feel invisible, whoa. So tell me why can't you see This is where you need to be? You know, it's taken its toll on me, So I'll hope for a miracle. Yeah, I'll hope for a miracle. Holidays tend to make me feel whole again. Rainy days make me feel like the dream is dead. I can show you what it's like to be down when you're all alone. I'm quite aligned to your design. What's mine is yours, and that's just fine. I'm finally acquiring the state of mind that everything is gonna be alright. Shaking your head doesn't change this. Preparing myself for a train wreck, I can't be saved. So tell me why can't you see This is where you need to be? You know, it's taken its toll on me, But I don't feel invisible, whoa. So tell me why can't you see This is where you need to be? You know, it's taken its toll on me, So I'll hope for a miracle. Yeah, I'll hope for a miracle. And if you want to be free, I can't be the one to make you believe. You've still got this promise to keep. Step back and wash away the reckless intentions. They're leaving me breathless. Find a way to stay in your skin. So tell me why can't you see This is where you need to be? You know, it's taken its toll on me, But I don't feel invisible. So tell me why can't you see This is where you need to be? You know, it's taken its toll on me, But I don't feel invisible, whoa. So tell me why can't you see This is where you need to be? You know, it's taken its toll on me, So I'll hope for a miracle. Yeah, I'll hope for a miracle.

[@dethnorth]

This song is so meaningful for me. Bcause when first time i knew State Champs a year ago i was really fckn love this band, every hour i used to listening all their stuffs. Some accident happened to me, i lost my lovely laptop at my college. State Champs reminds me with that thing in the past. Well eventhough just laptop i'm still pathetic it gone. Cuz it's lil' bit xpensive for me eheh :D

[@sunnygirl8741]

Im going to comment at random so i get reminded of this song if i ever forget it since ill get a new phone probably

[@Pckledaddy]

This whole acoustic album makes The Story So Far's acoustic album look pitiful. I enjoyed Navy Blue and Waiting In Vain on Songs Of, but TSSF's take on the acoustic versions of their songs seemed somewhat weak. I appreciate both of these bands, but State Champs definitely took the cake on the acoustic album.

[@BurstTomato]

Why compare them? I mean, I agree but still o.o

[@Pckledaddy]

Well they're both pop punk bands who both did an acoustic album so that's why I am comparing them.

[@JohnVillagonzalo]

not really. it depends on the person. some people love acoustic versions than the original and noisy ones, frankly speaking...

[@BoyMeetsMoon]

State Champs is the only good pop punk you'll find nowadays.

[@barborabenova226]

+Lii Barahona I'm not going to say all time low or simple plan because ppl can have different opinions bout them but NFG? Neck Deep? there are many good bands you just need to look for them

[@jessetorres6431]

+Lii Barahona Neck Deep, Joyce Manor, Tigers Jaw, Title Fight...

[@BoyMeetsMoon]

+Jesse Torres yah, I know. Tell me their best songs, please 😊

[@HiiMatt11194]

Sarah Al Kaissi no they aren't. the tracklist is 1. Elevated 2. Deadly Conversation 3. Hard To Please 4. Simple Existence 5. Easy Enough 6. Leave You In The Dark 7. If I'm Lucky

[@SarahAlKaissi]

HiiMatt11194 Oh yea, I found out about that after I wrote the comment. I wanted to come back and correct myself but I completely forgot. Woooops.

[@theshepherdsdog]

lumpiaaaaa i agree

[@DooDooDaddyTV]

This was good but I really think Derek could have done more. He has the talent to do so and he should have. Good song though.
