@Madden 07 Soundtrack Fan Account [Kendrick AOTY] was more just trying to suggest that there are heavy bands with worshipful lyrics than make specific band comparisons
Currently a worship leader and I am, a) crying laughing at all the perfect little details (like the jaded sound guy,) and b) stealing this song for my own band. Absolutely incredible work.
People only talk about ocean avenue but their later stuff is incredible. Be The Young, Cut Me Mick and Keeper are some of my favourite songs of all time.
@@EresirThe1st keeper is brilliant, their newerer stuff is mind-blowing. Try Convocation/Transmission Home, Fragile and Dear, Lift a Sail, The Hurt is Gone. You will begin to wonder how they can make songs just as good as the ones you already love. It is hard to pick favourites with this band.
I will add this is also hillarious because of a lot of past conversations I've had with folks about is it a quality worship song or not if all I have to do is think about God except for a girl lol
Having played in church for 10 years, the accuracy of the sound check is impeccable. I’ve been the drummer putting my in ears Iate too many times. Awesome video as always!
I remember we would do a full band sound check… and we always played NIB by Black Sabbath (no singer) because our bass player loved that song 😂. One day someone else recognized it and straight ratted us out to the pastor ….
A teen brother of my friend died when this song came out and I had introduced them to YC and this actually played at the end of his funeral at Hillsong church. It was heavy. He was only 14 and ended his own life
@@somebodyandthemChristian music is phenomenally massive. You should see the size of concerts. Yellowcard, Idol Sons, Jeremy Camp, Jeremy Riddle, Reliant K, Toby Mac and so so so many more.
When the first chorus hit, my brain just went "now imagine this was an unironic 'Jesus is my boyfriend'-type Bethel song" and I could not stop crying laughing from how good the rest of it was
100%. I have a theory that almost any "you" song that doesn't explicitly allude to sex (and the occasional one that does) can be done as a worship song. i mean, I'm referring to specifically this like, whole alt, pop-punk, would these days probably be on adult alternative stations (yikes) vibe but eh, throw in a "you, Lord!" and you can get out of genre.
Actually hilarious. And I know it's predictable, a bit cliche, and kind of a meme. But no other genre does what contemporary worship does. It's got an absolute vibe. Please do more of these!!

Growing up, my church’s youth group would sing a few worship songs before our lessons. Because it was a cappella, anyone could start a song and the rest would join in. One time a parent brought their 5 year old kid and he started singing Reflection from Mulan. So we all just joined in and sang about the girl we see in the mirror. Honestly pretty impressed with how many of us knew the words by heart
I love this. I was a pop punk worship musician for a long time. The sound guy always praised the guy with the amp modeler over my expensive tube amp. I wanted to see if I could get away with using Yellowcard in church. Dammit Melton, you are a genius. This straight up sounds like a Hillsong United song that they would have released in 2012.

As an punk/emo kid that’s now 40 and born again…. This is great! Lol so perfect and I used to love this song. Keep up the great work. All your stuff is so good.

As lights and sound (for church) I can confirm that the intro is spot on. Also kinda sad this song is more "spiritually" deep than some songs we sing in church today.
Yea. Avoid anything on Christian radio for the most part. Our church does some great stuff both musically and lyrically that is not emotionally manipulative.
You guys need to expand your catalog, there are tons of deeper and spiritually sound songs coming from other smaller lesser known churches around the world aside from the big ones. Enough people complained in our church that we've started phasing out some songs
@@EthanRom I listen to more than just CCM that's why I said some songs. I know that many churches have deep theological songs and other have amazing "modern" worship. I was just saying that this song in some ways is deeper "spiritually" than what you might find in the modern American church. (That fact is sad and funny at the same time.)
@@Jordan-lf6lt That's great, man. I think modern ccm exists cause it needs to cater to some who are maybe still starting on their journey hence how basic it is.
@@EthanRom I'd agree with that, there is a time and a place for it. Once a person has come to know The Way, The Truth and The Life; I pray they find more music that will sustain them and persevere them.
As someone who's sung at church and going through soundchecks, this is THE most accurate thing I've ever seen! The part that had me in stitches was when Alex plays the song through Ableton and he's just standing there! That's exactly what people on stage would do at my church when they would test the track. 🤣
I play guitar for our youth group from like 15-19. Im a metal head/pop punk/emo. Me and 3 different drummers we had all liked the same music. So when we had a more up beat song, you better believe we had some half time stuff. One of staff members laughed so hard the first time we did it. And one night he was really into it and started head banging. One of the drummers said he saw the pastor head bang one night. The shit i got away with on guitar was great. I some how convinced the music leader that drop c was a great tune.
@@kenpumphrey8384 well I would take that a step further and say I hope everyone, pastor or not, leaves the kids alone lol. At least in the way I assume you’re talking about here.

Hey Alex, Please do more of these! My wife loves christian rock ballads, and I love punk, emo etc..These songs are bringing our music tastes together and finding the happy medium! They are awesome. You are so talented!
As a someone who drummed in a worship band in the early 2000's this is incredible. I lost it at the sound guy silencing the ride cymbal. We can't help it, just let us do this one thing lol
The fact that you grew up in church but cover these types of songs is just awesome. As a youth I loved the emo-ish bands and it resonates with me as I've matured. Keep on going man! Maybe a hawthorne heights cover? 🤔
Your worship crossovers are so on point. Also, I feel like we grew up pouring our hearts out to the same music. Your other worship cover of “Hero/Heroine” and this cover are both featuring songs that I got hung up on for a LONG time. Mix that with the best worship stylings, and you have me in the palm of your hand. I’m going to say it. I love you, Alex.
This hits so hard for those of us who have played in praise bands. The whole thing was fantastic. Need a whole series of this, Alex. Also, more Maddie!!!
100%! I played in a praise band back in youth group and still do today. Even wrote an album with my brothers for kids to experience pop punk + Jesus. Aptly called pop punk jesus 😂
As a sound guy for many years, and for different churches thru those years, the only thing I can say is, Absolutely nailed It! Checking out the first one now!
Alex... thank you from the bottom my my heart. This was amazing. Almost tempted to send this to our music director and say... make it happen! Soulful and ironically definitely more uplifting than I thought possible.
5:11 - The acapella group at the music school I went to actually did mash this up with Fix You, so I appreciated the "Sounds just like Coldplay" subtitle
As someone who listened to a LOT of Christian rock/pop/contemporary in the early 2000s, these vibes are on point (even though I wasn't familiar with Yellowcard). Feels like I'm back in a random room with a worship band playing. :P
I hope y'all realize why there's no ads on any of Alex's videos, so he doesn't get hit with copyright and can keep pumping out these amazing songs. But he never ever misses and keeps nailing every concept he comes up with. Thank you, Alex, this is so fucking awesome.
I LOVE IT. Much better produced than most church livestreams haha. Keep them coming, I want to show them to my band and production team for pointers! LOL If you want it to be really authentic, gotta lower the video quality, camera changes when the operator isn’t ready, mess up the lyrics verbally, but include them on the screen like closed caption style… but then the lyrics person has to go to the wrong line, etc. I’ll say it again, it’s so funny how accurate this is. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS DUDE
I hope this one blows up too so we can get more worship band covers. I was listening to Hero/Heroine at the beginning of the week wishing for more. The style is so spot on and all of your covers are absolute bangers!!
Brooooooo probably one of my favorite ad placements and the ending with the “pastor” coming out to say the normal “thanks for watching and be sure to hit the subscribe button” was fucking 11/10. This is my favorite rendition of yours to date and I’m probably gonna listen to your version more than yellowcard’s now. This is one of my favorite videos on UA-cam now. Thank you!!

You will begin to wonder how they can make songs just as good as the ones you already love. It is hard to pick favourites with this band.
Never realized how this song fit so well as an actual worship song. Very well done. Really hoping this makes it to Spotify.
I've found that it's just Alex is remarkable at writing and composition. Cause I've heard lots of covers and there's so many that are total garbage

2023 - still love this song, even alex covering this song, i love it !!! good job !!!
This song has always had a special place in my heart. It came out at a pivotal part of my life. It brings back such good memories. Thanks for this.
Couldn't agree more ♥️
Fucking dope homie! Out here killing it!
Much love from one musician to another!
I LOVE IT. Much better produced than most church livestreams haha. Keep them coming, I want to show them to my band and production team for pointers! LOL
If you want it to be really authentic, gotta lower the video quality, camera changes when the operator isn’t ready, mess up the lyrics verbally, but include them on the screen like closed caption style… but then the lyrics person has to go to the wrong line, etc. I’ll say it again, it’s so funny how accurate this is. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS DUDE
Please put this on spotify! The rendition just slaps that hard; especially on music ministry members such as myself. 🤣😂
I hope this one blows up too so we can get more worship band covers. I was listening to Hero/Heroine at the beginning of the week wishing for more. The style is so spot on and all of your covers are absolute bangers!!
Went to high school in a small Mormon town in the mid 2ks, this song basically captures that experience 100%.
Growing up in a smaller “mega” church, being the sound guy throughout high school, this is spot on and I love it.
As a worship leader myself, this was perfect.
I also love how the end video segment is titled 'Benediction'. Nice touch.
Bass sounded perfect, but it needed more Ableton tracks. Keep it up!
One of my favorite songs ever. You did a tremendous job covering this.
Dude. This was insanely accurate but also … really freaking good too!
Brooooooo probably one of my favorite ad placements and the ending with the “pastor” coming out to say the normal “thanks for watching and be sure to hit the subscribe button” was fucking 11/10. This is my favorite rendition of yours to date and I’m probably gonna listen to your version more than yellowcard’s now. This is one of my favorite videos on UA-cam now. Thank you!!
"Full extension. Yeah" 🤣 what a cool way to send your praise! It was powerful to sing along to that song in a prayer! Thanks for that!
“Is your compressor on??” 😂 heard that too many times as a bassist
We need a whole worship album!
So not only did you nail this (as you always do lol) … but the sound guy and his comments had be roaring haha. Great video!
I swear I felt like I'm back in a worship portion of a youth service
“Can’t go full extension that early” definitely got me 😂 I feel that as a drummer! Great vid as always!
The worship prep is 150% spot on. I laughed so hard.
