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.
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.
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.
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 👍👍
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!
Dude these are so good. Please don’t ever stop. My ‘06 emo self and southern roots are merging perfectly. Also, how bout an MCR one? Maybe a “Welcome to the Black Hoedown” or “I’m Not Okay (I Reckon)”.
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!
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!!!
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.
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

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

And ill overplay alex melton just as much as i overplayed falloutboy
if he does Dashboard... i think he might become a god.
@@albl4775 saints and sailors goes country?????
@@TwoToneSoldier yeah a little portal to hell just opened up in my office.
Amen brother
I love the effect of layering the guitar parts.

right?? its so good. they need a mandolin for sure
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

As a lifelong scene kid from Arkansas, this is everything. Seriously.

🫡🤝💪💪
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.
@@dozi3r Was gonna suggest these too lol
oh my . I would love to hear him do Private Eye. something like that in country
Luminary Artist of the times. We crave familiar but find endless joy in the variations.
i love this. Please do the entirety of "take this to ya'll's grave"
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
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.
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
I honestly love anything Alex puts out so much that I’ve started hitting like before I even hit play
True..
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 cover is so well done I think FOB would enjoy it!!
Where is your Ford tonight?
Oh yeah, on the side of the road like always
Yes! This is one of my favorite FOB songs and it sounds so amazing as a country version! :)
Goosebumps. FOB is my jam.
The amount of imagination and creativity you have to be able to genre - swap anything and everything is truly inspiring.
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.
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
One of the greatest Fall Out Boy tracks ever. This version is equally good.
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 👍👍
Holly Molly, my fav song of this band. In 2007 I was listening to GTA of FOB's while playing fifa or GTA SA.
The lyrics of this song are all country. Sounding great!
That acoustic tele is gorgeous
This dude should start a Record Company called “DeadShot Labels” cuz this man just don’t miss.
Chills in the first 5 seconds.
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!
I ran here SO FAST from TikTok. My heart is so happy!!! 🖤🖤
one of fob's best songs tbh! thanks for reviving my love for the song & album
This is one of my favorite Fall Out Boy songs and I love this version of it.
Your country covers are incredible. It's actually getting me into country, which is new. Keep it up and proud to be a patreon.
This is incredible
I hate how much this works. You're a genius with this stuff
This is awesome. Famous Last Words in this style would be a dream come true.
Dude these are so good. Please don’t ever stop. My ‘06 emo self and southern roots are merging perfectly.
Also, how bout an MCR one? Maybe a “Welcome to the Black Hoedown” or “I’m Not Okay (I Reckon)”.
Could never imagine how good all Pop-punk songs flow in Country! 😂
I love all of your work, Alex! When are you trying out some ADTR in Country? 👀
I miss old FOB! Glad someone is showing this song some love!
Don't quit your day job.......DOES NOT APPLY HERE! YEHaw! Ya that was sick! looking forward to more!
This is my favorite FOB song. Bless you.
Loving all these pop-punk goes country covers!
Sour Patch and La Croix, the fuel for men who produce only the best covers.
This is the LOVE button!
My dude, that little jam bit at the end is a big ol' chefs kiss.
Holy shit, my favorite FOB song! Thank you for this!
Oh my god the riff is so perfect for country

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.
Man I hope the announcement is you putting out a full album
Your best cover yet. Loved the ending jam. Great work man!
I knew from the title that this was going to be a belter. Nice one Alex!
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!
There's a guitar bit in the verse sections of sugar were going down that when played on its own sounds like it belongs in a country song
I hate country but will listen to every single county version cover you put out
Continue uploading to Spotify!! This is just awesome 🎸😎
Woo excited for the announcement!
This cover is oddly relaxing.
This has so much brilliant folk energy. I love it. Probably now one of my favorite country version covers of yours. You Rock!
