Someone send this to Taylor ASAP!!! This is the stuff that Taylor loves. The creative process. I love hearing the raw sound of a song. But you know what I would love to see and especially hear? Taylor doing a raw album like this. I'm a rock girl at heart and I've been wanting to hear a rock album from her. Emo, punk, alt, grunge, heavy metal, etc. Taylor can TOTALLY pull this off. I like Jack Antonoff but it's always good to change things up and keep inspiration flowing. I'd be down to hearing Alex Melton and his friends being producers for a future album of hers. I think a majority of folks would love that as well. Awesome job guys! ✌❤
honestly taylor can pull off any genre if she really wants to and at this point it's only fair she goes into rock for at least a little bit after all the genres she's experimented with already
@@jonathanoakley88 Yes, raw. Did he look up notes or read a song sheet to find the chords to the song? No. He sat there, listening and strumming away at his guitar trying to find the right chords to the song. By listening to the song, he was tuning his ear to the music. He did that on his own. Not many people can do that. He's very good at it. He's got an ear for music. Obviously, the produced stuff came afterwards after recording certain parts to the song, he then edited it later and created his own version of it.
What I've learned from this is that Taylor Swift songs make great Pop Punk covers. This was absolutely fantastic! Keep up the awesome work and looking forward to the next cover!
Nearly every Pop Goes Punk album has a Taylor Swift cover on it, and almost every single one sounds amazing. Her songs translate so well to the genre lol
@@AugmentedSmurf She should switch imo, ive never really listened to her but i went and listened to this one before i heard his cover. This cover is miles better than the original just because it has the drums and guitar. But then again i didnt listen to her in the first place maybe someone who likes her would disagree
I have a whole Spotify playlist of just pop punk Taylor covers!!! Her songs are just so well written they can be performed in so many ways and still be good bet they especially fit well in pop punk because of her angtsy lyrics haha
@@Llama_charmer Honestly even some fans (like me) think she‘d do so well in rock/pop rock. Her third album Speak Now has a couple songs with a rock vibe but she just dips her toes in. “Better Than Revenge” is one of those songs. And in some concerts she’s even done rock versions of her songs and they’re so good I wish she would just go for it but I understand the pop appeal 😅
my wife and i always joke that tswift accidentally writes metal songs and now she does the same with pop punk. our last night's cover of look what you made me do, and now this?!?!?!!? You are incredible (as is the other person who i hadn't seen yet) and i appreciate all you do
i looked it up! it was we are never getting back together (i knew you were trouble was pretty cool too). if you search those titles and 1989 tour you should be able to find just those songs from that tour!
Really cool to see the creative process happen. Peeling back the curtain and seeing how fast you guys grabbed the key, progressions and stuff is wild. This is straight effin fire, i think its my fav Taylor cover at this point. Crossing my fingers this one can get to spotify.
@@AlexMelton yas dude this is verified midas shit to the fullest.. I know you gotta keep all the internets wanting more but from my view this was the most enjoyable thing to see. When tyler was like "Key of E" and listed the NN I was like got dang these dudes are ridic. This has been the biggest eye opener to how well ya'll work together. Rad sh*t (not sure if i can say that on YT).
Whether you consciously picked up on this in your one listen or not, you managed to incorporate my favourite feature of the original! Which is, in the second and third chorus the last line has second vocal up the octave that kind of takes over as the melody. Instead in your final chorus you just sing the final line up the octave. Close enough! I also love your take on the second pre-chorus. Fantastic work on everything!
Alex has managed to combine pop punk and Taylor Swift, and wether he knows it or not, is going to make a lot of bisexuals obsessed with him by doing this.
Alex, that Tele crunch you put in there was epic and made the song. The drums, as always, are freaking top notch. You are pretty much a musical genius. A rare treasure. I would love to see more Taylor goes punk covers. This song already pulls at my heart and your version makes it singable for me. Thank you. I love your passion and infinite talent. Please continue to be amazing and produce epic covers.
Really enjoyed it, especially the variations on "It's me, hi" from the cute wave to the burning shirt grab. Amazing version, would not have believed it was a cover.
As I listened my brain expected the line 'She's laughing up at us from hell!' would be shouted/metal screamed for some reason. You made a great cover, especially after barely listening to the song!
This is cool it reminds me of when I was in band in school and we would compete in contests. In the contests we would have to sight read and only have a few minutes to sight read a piece we hadn't seen or heard before and then perform it in front of the judges. It was nerve racking. Y'all just did it all by ear just the two of you. I'm always impressed when people play by ear like that. The outcome was really solid. ✌️
This is how you know you've come along way and been playing a long time. I've seen people play for 15+ years listen to a song a few times and bam! Play it! Excellent 👍😁
That was insane! I’ve been known to find guitar chord progressions for songs I’ve only ever heard once, but to do a full cover like this? That’s insane!

wow this cover made me appreciate this song a little more, ill be honest when I first heard the original I was like nah not for me but its amazing how youve transformed it into just the song for me. Great Job!
So cool to see the thought process behind the song AS you're listening to it. Calling out the chord progressions and changes at what points. Starts and stops, critical changes, bridges, potential double time additions. So much good stuff...but to do all that after listening to it once is getting a little bit out of hand. I mean, you're just killing this stuff!
the doubletime drum fill near the end was particularly sick. and I hope you can land a sponsorship with Bubly given all of the cans y'all slammed through that 😆
Loved it. For having just listening to it 1 time? You killed it. Would love to see a second verison of a fully thought-out, well-planned version. That could be sick.
That was super interesting to watch, and I gotta say the cover was absolutely banging. If that was genuinely after one proper listen, really amazing job, even catching most of the small background notes and riffs in the song. Top tier content!
i reallyyyy wanna get as good as them at being able to identify certain things in music and literally recreate a song almost perfectly after hearing it once like actually how
You can definitely do it. With an understanding even basic music theory (Wikipedia and UA-cam are great resources) and some ear training you’d have all you need.
Crap day, feeling down. Come back to this after a week from first hearing it, and immediately get a boost from this. Please chuck this on Spotify so I can blast it out of my car!
This concept is great, would love to see more of these videos of the process, even if it's not necessarily just after one listen. Would also like to see a standalone version of the finished project.
Guys ive had this on repeat since I saw it!! I LOVE seeing the creative process/challenge of a one hear by ear (I had to work out most of my fav songs as a kid learning guitar back in the 90s and still do!)... but honestly the drum arrangement is JUST perfection for the ears and brain in this version!!
this is awesome! thoroughly enjoyed watching, really impressive. especially liked the ending! also I just noticed I have the same little orange and black computer keyboard as you lol anyway great video!!
The Taylor swift covers are absolute fucking gold. Can't stop listening, keep it up dudes. Great talent and great producer. Can't hype you guys up enough! Very clean.
This might be my favorite video because of all the behind the scenes. I love seeing all the aspects of how you gameplan the cover and execute it. Great job on the song as well!
Please put this on Spotify! I really appreciated getting to see the creative process that you guys had during and immediately after listening to the song for the first time. I'm also a musician and it was fun to hear your commentary on the song, as they're a lot of interesting things I noticed when listening the first time or two! The ending of Anti-Hero is especially fun, given that it doesn't end on the tonic. Y'all did a great cover, can't wait to hear more!
Haven't heard the original yet--but this is fantastic! Loved seeing a bit of the process in creating your covers. Now off to listen to the source material--a d will likely then revisit this one!
Mind. Blown. Nice job fellas. My teen daughters inspired me to learn and play lots of TSwift stuff. I've come to appreciate her songwriting and this particular song was always a bit tough to play for me. Your version just opened it up more for me. Note to self... Must learn to play drums. Again, great job and awesome video!
This is absolutely incredible! It’s been so fun watching all the covers and new versions of “Anti-Hero” but this is definitely my favorite one!! Keep up the awesome work guys 🔥
i love this video! i have watched it many many times... for the first time today i have just noticed the producer joining in the the air drums at 10.37 hahahah love it
Would love to see more "behind the scenes" stuff!! As an amateur musician who's never learned any music theory it's interesting (and helpful) to me lol
I started watching your channel because I’m a huge blink fan. Haven’t missed a video since I subbed. Can’t wait to show my wife this video, as she’s a huge Taylor Swift fan. Keep up the amazing work and I can’t wait for your full album to drop!
Really loved the cover and inspiring to see the process. I particularly liked the drums. One spot I think you maybe missed was Taylor does a lot of really cool vocal octave drops on the "It's me, hi" lyrics, along with switching to some off syncopated emphasis points as well (2mins 30secs into the original version). Those are the moments that make the original to me.
I don't know how you're able to find everything in just one listen and remember it for 2 days and be accurate and creative, I could never ever everrrr succeed (I think)
I love this! My favorite kind of music is that kind of pop rock, you totally nailed it. I think only hearing it once worked to your advantage here since you’re not set in a way the song needs to be and you could really make it your own while still capturing the basic core of the song
I already said this on another Taylor cover but another great T-Swift song that would shine with the pop-punk treatment is "You Are in Love" from 1989. It's begging to have some heavy guitar backing it. Hope to hear it from you some day, Alex!
Someone send this to Taylor ASAP!!! This is the stuff that Taylor loves. The creative process. I love hearing the raw sound of a song. But you know what I would love to see and especially hear?

who cares about Taylor
raw? lol this is produced to death. It's still awesome, but its not raw. Far from it.

@@yesjesswellness thanks!!
@@eric_welch COYG!
@@timcheek8707 COYG!!
8:39 it was so satisfying to hear this part be played twice on guitar. I always feel like that little lick needs to be longer in the original song
Really cool to see the creative process happen. Peeling back the curtain and seeing how fast you guys grabbed the key, progressions and stuff is wild.
This is straight effin fire, i think its my fav Taylor cover at this point. Crossing my fingers this one can get to spotify.
I’m so proud of how we were able to so realistically capture a lot of our spontaneous process, it’s my favorite part of making stuff.

@@AlexMelton Alex, we are all so proud of you. Amazing cover.
“Fav Taylor cover.”
Hands down, no contest.
Woahhhhh this is incredible guys!!
This gives me like an early 2000s punk rock band. Musically with a yellow card/simple plan vibe with a Mayday Parade vibe with the vocals. Loved this!
Whether you consciously picked up on this in your one listen or not, you managed to incorporate my favourite feature of the original!
Which is, in the second and third chorus the last line has second vocal up the octave that kind of takes over as the melody. Instead in your final chorus you just sing the final line up the octave. Close enough!

Alex has managed to combine pop punk and Taylor Swift, and wether he knows it or not, is going to make a lot of bisexuals obsessed with him by doing this.
Sorry bro, he's married.
This is so specific, but I can confirm as a bisexual who's obsessed with him.
The rainbow "soft boi" shirt probably doesn't hurt!
PLEASE do more of these “one time” covers and some of the behind the scenes cover creations!
I love this! Taylor's songwriting suits pop punk and rock
The little lead lick at 8:55 rules.
I'll be patiently waiting for the if "Blink" did it version 😎
I’m anxiously awaiting if T-Swift did edging.
Yessssss please!
@@406RamsFan I’m anxiously edging to T Swift
@@Maximus5798 I mean, aren’t we all?
Or if the Worship/Metal Band is really into T-Swift
Seriously love you showing behind the scenes. Can you do more of these?
been legit waiting for a pop punk version of this song, its got such potential

This was so fun to watch! I want more of this "one time listen" stuff! Unbelievable!
6:59 it’s so funny to watch his head bob up and down at time lapse speed 😂
Loved seeing the creative process!! Also the drum breakdown on the last chorus slapped so friggin hard!
Cool concept! I'm curious if you would change anything after hearing the original more.
the doubletime drum fill near the end was particularly sick.
and I hope you can land a sponsorship with Bubly given all of the cans y'all slammed through that 😆
This is definitely one of my favorite videos. The creative process has always been my favorite part of music
This was really an awesome cover! Gave me vibes for what if Anti-Hero was written for a boy band instead. Really cool!
Loved it. For having just listening to it 1 time? You killed it. Would love to see a second verison of a fully thought-out, well-planned version. That could be sick.
You are an absolutely brilliant musician!
I thought you were gonna try and remember all the lyrics after just listening once. I'd like you to do that next time!
same! as good as this was, i would also like to see a frantic scribbling of lyrics and goofy ass hodgepodge of instrumental assembling haha

This is so good! It's crazy you guys remembered the vocal melodies so well after only one listen!
This is incredible!! I love the look into the process. You are phenomenal.
Mind. Blown. Nice job fellas. My teen daughters inspired me to learn and play lots of TSwift stuff. I've come to appreciate her songwriting and this particular song was always a bit tough to play for me. Your version just opened it up more for me. Note to self... Must learn to play drums.

Literally watching genius's at work. Thank you for this
This was SO COOL!! Love seeing the process behind your work and doing this after listening to it once…you killed it!
i love taylor and punk music, and this makes my heart so happy
Love this, great behind the scenes.

FN nailed it! Loved the two time & that sweet brake in the bridge. As always Amazing stuff man! \m/
Wow this is so good!! I love your version. Someone needs to send this to Taylor forreal!
i love this video! i have watched it many many times... for the first time today i have just noticed the producer joining in the the air drums at 10.37 hahahah love it
killin it!! loved the whole video and process behind it
Loved this format. Really cool to see the process. Stoked for the new album!
I love this concept! You guys killed it as usual!
One of my fave vids! I love seeing/hearing the thoughts that went it o making the song.
Would love to see more "behind the scenes" stuff!! As an amateur musician who's never learned any music theory it's interesting (and helpful) to me lol
This approach was really cool to watch. I love the breakdown...more so, the process to get to the final product. More of these! ;)

Such a good idea! I'd love to see more of these! OR covering the song with no listens and just seeing the lyrics.
I can’t be the only one who thinks this cover is better than the original. The drum fill before the last refrain has given me chills every time
literally yelled out "oh shit!"
You arent the only one. I agree,
I sooo agree
That was amazing! You guys are so great at doing your own version. Just awesome! Please put it on Spotify.
I needed this. Recovering from surgery and this is a great mood changer.
Really loved the cover and inspiring to see the process. I particularly liked the drums. One spot I think you maybe missed was Taylor does a lot of really cool vocal octave drops on the "It's me, hi" lyrics, along with switching to some off syncopated emphasis points as well (2mins 30secs into the original version).

I like this version better thank you so much for making and sharing this
Been a fan since the beginning and I’ve loved listening and watching your music progress! Very impressive stuff Alex, I envy your dedication
This was so amazing, ty for taking us through the process and giving us a glimpse of what goes down!!
Brilliant!!! The 2nd part of the second verse was genius!!! Awesome job, guys!!!
THIS IS SO GOOD!! As a pop punk/emo swiftie myself this is perfect! 😅
That was a lot of fun to watch! I love that the video took us through the process. Thank you both.
I thoroughly enjoyed this different take on how you do things
I love the workflow explanation!
I already said this on another Taylor cover but another great T-Swift song that would shine with the pop-punk treatment is "You Are in Love" from 1989. It's begging to have some heavy guitar backing it. Hope to hear it from you some day, Alex!
This was incredibly fun to watch!!!
can't believe this has only 166k views. this is a GREAT cover!
HELL YEA MAN!!! That was sick, absolutely love the cover and style changes! Keep up all the good work, love the "Pop goes Punk" style!
