This redeems so much of my childhood being stuck in the back seat listening to my mom belt this out until I can’t take it anymore. Thank you for your service.
You just gave my husband and I our only regret - that you weren't around to play this version at our wedding in 1999. Dang, man. This is your best one yet!
God damn. Its weird how old was Alex in 99. I was like 8, so he can't be further from that lol. But congrats on the long lasting marriage. Alhamdulillah
Since my wife and i started dating 8 years ago this was the song we used to jam out to and quote to each other on anniversaries, started out as a meme and now this is our song! Glad to have a Emo version of it now lol
My daughter was listening to the original version of this just yesterday and it was stuck in my head all night. Thx for making it something so much better! You saved my sanity.
been listening to all of your stuff lately. freaking awesome (listened to Hey Ya! at least 10x in the past 24 hours).... but what amazing thing I'm not seeing anyone else chime in on is the amazing fact that you reset the drum kit for every video and every time you use it. bravo.
Dude! Thank you for doing this! It's no lie to say that I've been waiting for this punk cover for 20+ years. I was just telling my wife about how I always wanted New Found Glory or someone to cover this song.
Mad props on your musical journey man. You went from "if blink wrote X" and imitating Tom Delonge, to finding your own voice. A lot of people get stuck on that imitation step, but you moved passed that. Its still very obvious you're inspired by blink, but this is undeniably YOUR voice, and I think thats so cool.
There's something about taking a song with well written lyrics and pairing it with creative chord progressions and song structure that elevates it that much more. You guys took a great song and made it better. You should be proud of this!
Love that u got me into country man, started with the country covers then I moved on to the pop punk covers of country songs and then full circle to the original country music, ur a beautiful human.
I'm just gonna keep listening to this every time the UA-cam algorithm serves it up. 😊 The original dropped in 1997, peaking on the charts in 1998. My wife and I met a year later in 1999. When we got engaged in 2001, there were some who though we were too young, so the lyrics of this song just resonate personally. Alex's arrangement just sends it way over the top! 🤌
This song is hugely emotional for my family, and the fact I introduced my dad to Pop Punk through bands like Green Day and Blink 182, which he now loves. To be able to share this cover with them all you can't believe how uplifting it is. You're truly incredible, Alex.
😮😮😮 Holy shit!! What a fn genius! I watch and watch. I never comment, but follow very closely. Ive been playing music for years. Multiple instruments. You, sir! Damn, and Damn again!
Incredible, as always! I'm really hoping one of these days you do a heavy rock cover of "Fix You" because I've always felt like that song was building to a heavy rock finish.
This is beyond amazing! 🙌 Just like any of your covers. I hope you'll do Runaway by The Corrs. I haven't heard anyone do an emo version of it. Curious of how it will sound.
It’s crazy how this song holds up in any genre.
The hallmark of incredible songwriting
It's a great pop song. All great pop songs would sound great in any genre.
Agreed!! 🤙🤙
The magic of Mutt Lange
@@RBMSVHAlen I still wish Def Leppard had worked with him again after Hysteria
This redeems so much of my childhood being stuck in the back seat listening to my mom belt this out until I can’t take it anymore. Thank you for your service.
similar childhood, chilling in the back of the astro van with mom listening to local light rock station
YES. This is so accurate it hurts.
@C G doesn't redeem anything eventually you'll miss those days and that moment.
huh i never had a prob w/ listening to your mom belt it out
Oh how you suffered... :P
If there's two things I love, it's Shania Twain songs and emo covers. You just can't go wrong!
New found glory did it way better check it out its miles above this although this ok
I love that Shania is iconic enough to just title it as “Shania”
You just gave my husband and I our only regret - that you weren't around to play this version at our wedding in 1999. Dang, man. This is your best one yet!
It was our wedding song in ‘99 too!!! ❤
Check out new found glory version it will blow you all the way away 😅
God damn. Its weird how old was Alex in 99. I was like 8, so he can't be further from that lol. But congrats on the long lasting marriage. Alhamdulillah
Every
Damn
Time.
Takes a classic and makes it better by making it speak in a language my ear is delighted by.
Since my wife and i started dating 8 years ago this was the song we used to jam out to and quote to each other on anniversaries, started out as a meme and now this is our song! Glad to have a Emo version of it now lol
The Maine have a has a version for years. You’ve been missing out if you didn’t know
@@JM-yx2tb just checked it out! Now i have 2 new favorite versions thanks!
This literally sounds like it was originally written as a pop punk song. Amazing.
This needs to go up on the streaming services ASAP, this is one of the cleanest covers you've ever done
When you almost forget this isn't the original because it is so good.
Everything little thing Alex Melton does is Magic. This is so delightful.
I read this as everything little Alex Melton does which made me think of little Alex Horn from taskmaster
I'm a country girl who LOVES pop punk alt and rock and I am so glad for this cover! Great Job! Up there with teddy swims for this cover. 🎉👏👏
4/28 and you catch 70k peoples heart with this version. gotdam beautiful!!!
This song defined 1998 for me. Swim camp, swim team, biking to all my friends before we headed to the pool from 10 to 8. Good times.
My daughter was listening to the original version of this just yesterday and it was stuck in my head all night. Thx for making it something so much better! You saved my sanity.
OMG, this is amazing. Shania was so huge for me growing up. This is like bridging my 90s childhood with my pop punk nostalgia adulthood. Great job!
Sooooo good! Reminds me of the 90's and High School in the mid 2000's with the Country Goes Pop Punk. This was a great cover Alex
You know this would be in late 90’s/early 00’s teen romantic comedy. The main guy fucked up and is now going to win the girl back in the rain.
@@catdamagebandi wished we get those types of movies back lol maybe its better off dead though. Sooner or later we have to move on
You making country into punk/emo is my favvvvv! More plzzz!!!
This man doesn't miss.
how Alex doesn't have 1M subscribers, I'll never understand.
Holy crap!! This is so awesome!
I want this played at my wedding.. thank you for this beautiful cover version
Man this ROCKS
love it. I got married a couple of weeks ago, and my wife and I had this song close out our wedding. It was perfect. Great song, and a great cover!
Congratsss

Three years of following Alex would make you think I’d stop being surprised at how well each one of these works but here I am, still surprised.
Freaking BANGER!!! So good - gave me chills!!
The tambourine makes it, that subtle depth is perfect.
As a huge Shania Twain fan, I approve of how well you’ve done this cover 🙌🏻
I'm just gonna sit here in hope that there's a cover of Shania Twains "Honey I'm Home" coming one day too as that's the one
Holy cow. This slaps.
He did it again !! This man is unstoppable!! Super under rated
the lyrics are so positive. and great job on the guitar chorus and solo/bridge!
I never asked for it but by golly I’m glad you did it. What a great version
Saw it on IG, found it on YT, the full length did not disappoint 🖤 Love this!

A lot of people get stuck on that imitation step, but you moved passed that. Its still very obvious you're inspired by blink, but this is undeniably YOUR voice, and I think thats so cool.
Not really accurate, he was doing pop punk covers and original music on this channel before the blink stuff

perfect, will play this!
Love that u got me into country man, started with the country covers then I moved on to the pop punk covers of country songs and then full circle to the original country music, ur a beautiful human.
Roper has a great cover of this song too!
This sounds great on 1.25 speed too!
Roper (Five Iron Frenzy side project) did a upbeat pop-punk cover of this as well. Alex' version is gold as always.
Thanks for putting this out there, love FIF and didn’t know about that
Right up there with Lake Street Dive for my all time favourite version of this song!
I thought at some point I'd stop being impressed with what Alex puts out. After more than a year of following him, he surprises me with every release.
The kick in the Chorus is so good
Proof that punk is always awesome
I love this song! Brilliant cover.
This song sends me back. I was seven when this song came out.
On that note, hear me out: If I Could Turn Back Time by Cher
Yes!!!
What an absolute gift
Alex just comes at you, out of nowhere, with a cover that you never knew you needed so much
This gave me nostalgia and chills at the same time
Awesome job man, this song is great in it's original form and is amazing how good it is as pop punk. Great job reimagining this one
I have been playing this song on repeat for weeks...absolutely incredible cover!!! Keep 'em comin man!!!
I'm just gonna keep listening to this every time the UA-cam algorithm serves it up. 😊 The original dropped in 1997, peaking on the charts in 1998. My wife and I met a year later in 1999.

And This just went to no. 1 on the Billboards !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Straight fire!!!
Please do an entire Shania album cover.
This
We need a C'est La Vie cover (Shania -- not B*Witched).
@@ChachiTelevision1979I dunno, a BWitched cover would probably be pretty dope. lol 🤣🤣🤣
@@coololds You know what - you’re right.
Finally, a song my mom and I can listen to together
Alex i swear man you never cease to amaze me. Youre such a musical genius 🤘🤘
Another week another banger. The mix is so dang good and big.
Omg!!! Absolutely amazing. You rocked this❤❤❤
I know talent when I hear it and Shania was the goat of women’s 90’s country. This guy is pretty good too
you absolutely killed this song Alex! phenomenal job!
Got my Roland VAD507 in the mail today! Pumped to jam out to this and other Alex bangers.
Nailed it it’s perfect thank you xxx
Your best combo yet. More pop punk Shania please!!!
Absolute banger! 10/10. Honestly some of your best work. Usually I prefer the Pop Punk -> Country versions of songs, but this is too good to pass up.
I want to start a cover band and only do covers of Alex’s versions. Dude. Does. Not. Miss.
I love this great content that keeps on getting better and even more metal!! ❤❤
😮😮😮 Holy shit!! What a fn genius!
I watch and watch. I never comment, but follow very closely.
Ive been playing music for years. Multiple instruments.
You, sir! Damn, and Damn again!
My Friday just got better. Thank you!
I never knew how much I liked this song.
Never get tired of these covers... Amazing work as always! 👏
Best version of this song ever!!!!! Bro this is amazing!
This song is so ridiculously good, always been a favorite. Thanks for this version, great stuff!
simply fantastic !!! amazing as always
I love all of these. All gold.
You really are a genius! The way you re-write and construct these covers is immense! Which I had a pinch of the talent you do my friend! 🤘
Love this version❤
Incredible, as always! I'm really hoping one of these days you do a heavy rock cover of "Fix You" because I've always felt like that song was building to a heavy rock finish.
As in Coldplay? The Color Morale covered it a few years back and whilst they're on the heavier side it's a good cover from memory!
Once this is out on spotify I can see my #1 listened to song for the year
This is beyond amazing! 🙌 Just like any of your covers. I hope you'll do Runaway by The Corrs. I haven't heard anyone do an emo version of it. Curious of how it will sound.
Yes!!!!!! That would be amazing.
My hometown band❤
Another one of those songs I didn’t know I needed until I heard it! This is so nostalgic for me! Thank you ❤
Gosh darn I love this channel!
Alex. Dude. That was AWESOME!
i fell in love, with that pink guitar! 😍
My wife and I are having a really emotional hug right now and it’s beautiful and I’m still air drumming on her back 🤣
Man. SO freaking good, as always!
Alternative covers is my favorite genre! I would live the rest of my life listening only to that genre!
Alex, your stuff is gold! Well done!
seriously, keep em coming! simply love your renditions
So great, as always.
Holy hell this made my day! The perfect cover
That was awesome. I loved it. Cant wait for it to be on Spotify!
Holy crap this song fits SO well in this genre! Well done man!
Every drunk mother in their 30's and 40's just raised a very wobbly glass to you while running to the dance floor screeching "THIS IS MY SONG!!"
Alex, tes arrangement sont toujours excellent ! Good job !
You just keep crushing it!!!
this man is a musical genius, these covers are brilliant.
Epic 🤘
