State Champs - Stick around (Acoustic)

[@AllyEarnshaw]

When people say that singers of pop punk bands can't sing, I'll link them to this video.

[@StraightUpSB]

No one truly realizes the talent in this video, not only can Derek kill the vocals but play a song that's not just three chords with a simple strumming pattern. This is raw AF. That's why I've dug sc so much here lately. All their albums are great and this acoustic album is definitely golden.

[@Wicked2v2]

Almost a decade later, still so true. Absolutely perfect.

[@itsjustprada]

I mean…the song is primarily 3 chords… but I still agree the talent is raw. It’s simple but incredible composition/writing

[@itsjustprada]

Not to mention, the singing and playing is dead on the record if not better. Still impressive

[@KannabisAnalyst]

@@itsjustpradayou’re right, but they’re not simple chords by any means. Minus the chorus at least. It’s more about the groove he creates with the alternating bass notes between pinky and index. Not as easy on acoustic as electric

[@ulfharms2992]

Best pop punk singer theses days

[@brandonwatson4197]

+Ulf Harms no its def Dan Lambton from real friends

[@TheNeuman]

+Brandon Watson Haha no....

[@seanakazinimusic]

+Brandon Watson Dan is amazing but this guy makes no mistakes. I like this video way more than studio version.

[@leamay5429]

+Daniel W exactly what I was thinking

[@jacobvanpamelen2767]

parker cannon...

[@0kJaymie]

It takes an immense amount of talent to sing like that AND play this song on guitar at the same time. Holy shit

[@Solomoncortez]

BREATHE DEREK BREATHE

[@Solomoncortez]

I’m back 5 years later checking to see if Derek breathes

[@LordLuciferAlmighty666]

@@Solomoncortez not yet….give it another 4

[@Aephylis]

That moment when the live performance is better than the recording... daaaamn

[@coolranchtac]

patricia well let’s just say there was room for improvement 😂

[@keanthdelacruz8737]

This one is better 💜

[@maddox626]

One of the best voices in pop punk. There's no debate.

[@mainedutchensen]

Diggin' the sound of that guitar.

[@sagesera]

2023 … still trying to jump to that second stone with anyone ;;-;

[@lyrikevergreen]

Same

[@Kawabunguh]

Im straight but i find this awfully arousing

[@506jewboy3]

Its only gay if you dont like it.

[@Hannah0167]

it blows my mind how his voice has like zero flaws when he's singing live.

[@MedicalAnomaly]

Yeah. I have to say that it does make me a little jealous. I can hold notes, but he can like, jump all over the place and it's perfect. xD

[@cornhusk5]

Daym. This is called talent. Why are more people not obsessed with this?

[@damiangallo365]

cuz they dont know it. they'd probably love it if they knew bout it

[@BriannaMejia]

It's December 2, 2017 and I'm still Not. Over. This.

[@fatkidinwalla]

Dude your awesome best vocals in pop punk for sure, you dudes were sick at warped

[@Bassdude]

Such a talented vocalist though...

[@maggiemay5249]

2023!! I re-discovered this band after falling down the Spotify rabbit hole omg! I can’t believe this was 10yrs ago 😭

[@caseysnow4754]

He's one of the few singers I've seen who nail their songs, constantly. Even while playing guitar perfectly! True talent.

[@symonewalker7450]

THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL

[@bee-yg1pz]

I’ll always find my way back to this video

[@Crismis5]

Same here. I have met a TON of band members from all different genres, and he has been by far the most kind, appreciative, and humble one I've ever encountered. He's really incredible.

[@TheNameIsAren]

He has such an amazing voice, im in love with this.

[@danielgilbert2139]

The one vocalist that can actually sing in tune nowadays.

[@xmityninja99]

[@liespootemans2502]

His voice is so soothing

[@rafaelsakkam9911]

This is a call for all the wasted days And things I forgot to say Like you bring me down I'll drag myself along But I won't pray Because that's not what I believe Oh, won't you stick around Well the line was drawn Won't you find someone That makes you feel like you're the one Who turns me on even when you're not around And puts my feet right back on the ground We'll fly together and jump to the second stone Oh and she brings me to life Knowing what's inside Surprise, surprise I'm ready come back home So I'm leaving alone What's this, but a story to lead you on? Of all the things we know What's left to come? Is this your way? In my mind I think I've been grinning since the day you said "I don't need you and all your lies Though my heart says otherwise" Well the line was drawn Won't you find someone That makes you feel like you're the one Who turns me on even when you're not around And puts my feet right back on the ground We'll fly together and jump to the second stone Oh and she brings me to life Knowing what's inside Surprise, surprise I'm ready to come back home So I'm leaving alone Lately weeks are going by so slow But the summer's coming at you just to let you know Lately weeks are going by so slow But the summer's coming at you just to let you know This is a call for all the wasted days And things I forgot to say Like you bring me down You know I want you to Turn me on even when you're not around And put my feet right back on the ground We'll fly together and jump to the second stone Oh and she brings me to life Knowing what's inside Surprise, surprise I'm ready to come back home So I'm leaving alone Surprise, surprise I'm ready to come back home So I'm leaving alone
