This is definitely the better version, it's also the first version I heard. When I listened to the mayday parade version I was disappointed, I mean it's still good but there's something about this one that is better.
Jason Lancaster IS Mayday Parade. It's a travesty that all the songs have been re-recorded and the Jason versions have been seemingly scrubbed from the internet. This is the only recording with him on it I can find anywhere. Being from Tallahassee I appreciate the nostalgia :)
Back here in 2023 to say I miss Jason’s voice mixed with Dereks so bad, and to remind everyone that this version is better we’re allowed to love both artists 🥺
For anyone who didn't already know, the singer on the last chorus of the MP version is Daniel Lancaster, Jason's brother. He had two bands that were, in my opinion, better than Mayday. They were Save it For Sunrise and Stages And Stereos. Their sister Erin also sang in the Stages song "Maybe We'll Make It After All".
Just saw on tik tok that this was the original! This has been on several phones since limewire I've always thought it was mayday parade demo... My mind is BLOWN
@@wildbillbfclw The "as we dance around the issue" line is fucking fantastic. There's a lot of songs from many bands I prefer in their original or demo versions. I think bands tend to streamline a bit too much, probably under label pressure I'm sure.
@@wildbillbfclw I've been looking for this version for that line specifically, on and off for over a decade. I forgot they were originally "Kid Named Chicago". Literally stumbled upon this today at random.
@roofkorean6 some of them were in KNC and some were in Defining Moment lol. My sister went to school with Derek when DM won BOTB at Lincoln HS in Tally!
i feel like im the only person who thinks Mayday's version is way better. Derek's parts were what attracted me to Mayday, not so much Jason. I also feel like some of the newer material is underrated, to me they can still write good songs without Jason
mayday's version is better just cause Derek sounds better in his verses and it's the version we heard first. But with that being said, jason is the better songwriter which is why the earlier mayday parade stuff will always be better. New Mayday Parade is still pretty good but the potential of the band hasn't been met yet because Jason being gone just gives a huge hole on the band. Also, Jason is a much better singer overall. Derek's voice is really good in the studio and he has that "pop punk voice" but live he's really inconsistent. Jason just destroys in a live setting and you can also see it when he sings in his church band now a days plus Jason's vocal range is insane. His low notes are really strong and his high notes are also so powerful.
Ugh, listened to the current version expecting this one, sooo underwhelmed. lancaster's voice is distinguished. sanders sounds like you could drop him into panic at the disco and fall out boy and it'd be the same. Good vocalist just not destinguished in my opinion
I CANNOT say the the same. Though I'm a sucker for 2 lead singers. I love jasons voice, i mean he's got a gift... But i think the biggest issue and why go radio never took off like mayday did was his voice can for lack of better words over stimulate the ears and his songs become hard to listen to all in a row. With derek it gives an amazing balance unlike any other i've ever heard. clean and rough.
Justin Rubalcava Jason wrote it, but Jake was also in Kid Named Chicago, so he very likely contributed, but Jason is the only credited songwriter on "Jamie All Over" and as stated most early MP songs
Love Jason. This song. honestly, I prefer Jason to Derek, and follow go radio more now than mayday, but I truly believe Mayday with Jason was the greatest thing music could have ever produced. like. seriously. ive never had an album touch me as much as ALIR and I will forever be grateful to everyone who had in part in the creation of that album.
@@cccccccxz mayday parade with derek still is famous, recognized worldwide, jason's band and solo artist project ain't significant after all, poor fan base, poor commercial, poor marketings, no where near mayday parade's success. mayday parade's self titled album is as successful to a lesson in romantics, mostly written by derek
Sir Jason Lancaster primarily wrote this song from Kid Named Chicago then put some touches while they re-recorded JAO for a Mayday Parade Album. Different taste and sounds as the new concept for MP 😊
