Listen, I'm an emo kid who also happens to be born and raised in the boonies in the south lol. There's a lot of parallels between good honest old school country and emo hahaha... Both genres thrive on pain and substances to make yourself feel better, and both like a catchy hook hahaha
You’re missing out on some great music if you’re not giving the genre a chance. Start with artists like Sturgill Simpson, Kacey Musgraves, Tyler Childers.
I remember hearing this song for the first time back in the day on MTV and having my mind blown. Hunting down that album in little old New Zealand was a lot of traipsing around record stores, discovering crate diving and underground shows and it opened up a whole world of music I'd never known about before. Nearly 20 years later, been a pro musician for a long time and this still grabs me by the soul. Cheers to the music makers everywhere.
There are times in a young man's life when certain truths are made known to him. Fall Out Boy will never return to their roots of music, and Alex Melton could cover them all as a country cover and probably win a CMA. Goddamn dude.
I love the effect of layering the guitar parts. At this point all you need is a violin and a mandolin and you could just straight up call yourself a blue grass artist.
This is fantastic! Even though it's in a country style, I really appreciate you kept the soft/absent "h" in the "hope" that Patrick does. Absolutely kicked ass again, as always.
Just calculate the angle which the light enters the window. Simple once you find out his location and direction of the window. Don't over complicate this
Good for you for going all in! We're here to support you, and I'm totally behind this being your full time gig! The cover is excellent! Everything sounded so "warm" and was a perfect morning track! Plus your home studio is giving me some serious home office envy. :)
Thank you for letting me hear my favorite FOB song, the song that sparked my love for pop punk/emo nearly 2 decades ago, for the first time AGAIN. A rare opportunity for sure.
hot damn, this slaps. The strum pattern gives it a slight bluegrass feel and i am *absolutely* here for it. I'm a big fan of early Fall Out Boy and I've been a fan of yours for a while now. This is definitely one of your best country covers. Very well done 👍👍
Never really enjoyed Country…until I started listening to your covers. Great job on a classic pop-punk song! Can’t wait to hear/see what’s next for you. Congrats on all your accomplishments man!
Best of luck Alex! I'll be here and continuing to watch every one of your videos. You deserve success on your own terms and I'm sure all the hard work you are putting in towards that end is going to pay off!
Been loving your stuff for awhile, would love to see you do more four year strong covers, in any direction you judge appropriate. Thanks for the great music
Discovered your channel recently and love your work. Great to hear that you quit your day job to do something you're clearly passionate af about. All the very best and as we say here in Northern Ireland, Keep 'er lit!!!
Glad to hear you quit your day job. I'm still waiting for the entire Blink's California album in your voice, you have time now, no excuses. 😂 Good luck man, you have a supporter here!
Survey says! Alex crushed it again!! Way to go man! This is my favorite FOB song, so I was a little skeptical. That'll show me to doubt you. Nice to see your sub base growing. You deserve it.
You're single-handedly swinging me over to liking country music and I'm not sure if I should thank you or not. I just love your work!

@@Bayviewtv22 nose to the grindstone is one of my favorites.
For real!!
@@Probably_tryna_sleep I remember listening to I don’t love you by mcr and thinking… this would be a great country song
Luminary Artist of the times. We crave familiar but find endless joy in the variations.

We definitely need more Y'all Out Boy. Once again, killing it both with the music and the song titles.
Sugar, Were goin' down at the very least

@@albl4775 saints and sailors goes country?????
@@TwoToneSoldier yeah a little portal to hell just opened up in my office.
Amen brother

right?? its so good. they need a mandolin for sure
This is such an underrated song, and you f*cking rocked it. Alkaline Trio sometime?
Yes I second this huge fan of Alk3
HELL YES or MY STANDARD BREAK FROM LIFE
The video to the original has 12mil views. Not even close to underrated.

oh my . I would love to hear him do Private Eye. something like that in country
These fall out boy covers are exactly what I subscribed for and I'm so happy to have another one of my favorite songs covered. Please keep it up!!!
This is fantastic! Even though it's in a country style, I really appreciate you kept the soft/absent "h" in the "hope" that Patrick does. Absolutely kicked ass again, as always.
i love this. Please do the entirety of "take this to ya'll's grave"
As a lifelong scene kid from Arkansas, this is everything. Seriously.
This is a case of DO quit your day job! You are so talented and it was right to quite and focus on something you clearly love doing!
Anyone else trying to work out when he recorded each part by seeing how full the Sour Patch Kids is? Nope, just me huh...

@@Brodiexbikerxkid much simpler, thanks 😂😂
Well I am now... lol
If someone told me this was a modern country hit and I didn’t know the original, I wouldn’t have questioned it one bit.
The lyrics are too clever for modern country
The amount of imagination and creativity you have to be able to genre - swap anything and everything is truly inspiring.
This cover is so well done I think FOB would enjoy it!!
I honestly love anything Alex puts out so much that I’ve started hitting like before I even hit play
True..
Country has always been my guilty pleasure my friends would never accept but now I can show them all your covers and I love it
Yes! This is one of my favorite FOB songs and it sounds so amazing as a country version! :)
Good for you for going all in! We're here to support you, and I'm totally behind this being your full time gig!
The cover is excellent! Everything sounded so "warm" and was a perfect morning track! Plus your home studio is giving me some serious home office envy. :)
Where is your Ford tonight?
Oh yeah, on the side of the road like always
