Wow Alex. Thank you. When my fiancée and I bumped into you at your show, we joked about looking for a pop-punk first dance song, maybe MCS or Say Anything. *You delivered.* And we're blown away. We can't thank you enough for making us feel special and gifting us this memory. So stoked to get introduced with this at our wedding.
Doggie, idk how old he is but I'm 43, been playing guitar for 30 yrs and now I'm taking drum lessons after that comes piano lessons. Him and Leo inspired me to become a jack of all trades!
So, Relient K's "Must Have Done Something Right" would be amazing to have turned into a first dance song - most wholesome lyrics and legit how you feel about the person you are going to marry. And I'm all about getting Alex Melton to cover more Relient K :)
There’s actually an acoustic version from the band themselves already out there somewhere (special edition vinyl iirc) that’s really lovely and wedding ready.
@@clarabecka4371 ahhh 10 years too late for me!! We went with Like The Dawn by the Oh Hellos but i spent some time considering just doing the original version of Must Have Done Something Right...!
Mannnnn. I never knew how badly this song needed to be a ballad. MCS’s lyrics were always uniquely profound and sad, but this just became massive break-up material.
This is such an awesome take on probably my favorite MCS song. More please! Maybe some Early November or Jimmy Eat World. I think a version of "Sweetness" like this would be incredible. Love your videos!
Man, I love MCS. I've seen them everytime they've been in Illinois for the bast decade. I couldn't even tell you how many times that is, but its way more than any other band. Great cover, as always!
I just spent most of yesterday listening to Motion City Soundtrack and thinking about how you could cover it. Here you are a day later with a beautiful surprise.
A cover of a song from my favorite band on my favorite instrument??? You sir have earned yourself a follower! Would love to see you tackle some of Justin Pierres solo work if you havent already!
I’d love to see you do Dear Maria in the worship group style. I know that’s not really related to this video, but the worship music covers are easily my favorite of your videos. Not to say you don’t consistently put out bangers
This can also be entitled "If Andrew McMahon covered MCS!" This sounded fantastic as always, Alex! Definitely always looking forward to your content. Best wishes!
How can one person have so much talent, man never misses! Shout out to whoever does filming and editing for these videos too, production quality is always top notch
I just bought your vinyl record!! I can’t wait to hear it. I love your work and your voice. You have a great talent and gift to share with the world!! 🎉🎉🎉
I heard this song for the first time in high school about 20 years ago, and it has been on my playlist ever since. This is an amazing version of the song and will also be added. Keep the good tunes coming Alex!
Thanks for listening to my comment on your last motion city soundtrack cover. "Next motion city cover should definitely be "my favourite accident" -9 months ago
I got married in September and we played your Downfall of Us All cover during cocktail hour and during dinner in the playlist. It would have been great to have wedding-esque covers like this too!
Why was this band not bigger.. Great cover. This band got me through some tough times.
Wow Alex. Thank you.

You could also try Tim Wheeler's solo piano version of Ash - Shining Light (he's the singer of Ash)
If you want a pop punk first dance song, the Burst and Decay version of You In January by The Wonder Years is the best for that
lol What? Isn’t this a break up song?! Why would you open your wedding with a song about someone leaving?!
Why not? @@FoxHoundMulder
@@babyaaronmonster lmao RIP
incredible arrangement wow. more motion city soundtrack please!
i agree fell in love with out you would be baller with this style
I agree with this 😊
We need a cover of Fell in Love Without You. MCS is so underrated.
You would sound awesome covering some of those pop alt bands like Something Corporate or Jacks Mannequin.
Agreed! They're my favorites!
I'm curious if Dark Blue would work as a country song
I didn't know I wanted this until you said it, but Alex would definitely kill a cover from one of them.
@@psychlops924 I was thinking the exact same thing.
Oh god yes please! Country version of Punk Rock Princess or worship Dark Blue!
we need more motion city. this is amazing
this would pair well with dry-ice, somber lighting, and a “hi, we’re motion city soundtrack and this is MTV Unplugged”. so, so good.
Things I learned today: I have not given Alex enough props for his piano playing skills. I completely underestimated his ability. Dude is a prodigy
He must be protected at all cost. I need him to play at my wedding - and that could easily be decades away. :(
The Freddie Mercury of our generation
Doggie, idk how old he is but I'm 43, been playing guitar for 30 yrs and now I'm taking drum lessons after that comes piano lessons. Him and Leo inspired me to become a jack of all trades!
He learned all of the other instruments because he knows piano
Poor Justin. The poppy music masked the sadness in these songs, but this version lays it bare.

Love seeing a cover that’s actually a cover, it’s own sound and a tribute to the original work. 👏🏻👏🏻
hell yea, more motion city soundtrack!

Great cover, as always!
This is one of my all time favorite MCS songs and you crushed it!!
My suggestion for this same style:
The Used - I Caught Fire
I just spent most of yesterday listening to Motion City Soundtrack and thinking about how you could cover it. Here you are a day later with a beautiful surprise.
You manifested this shit lol thanks!
How did you make this song even sadder? I'm not crying, you're crying.

MCS was one of my favorites! Fuckk this is golddd
Beautiful!! Please add to Spotify :D
National treasure!

After banger...after banger...after banger
Props for an og motion city song. I still have the first release of this album before it was remixed/remastered and had songs added
The strings at the end *chef's kiss*. You could totally go crash some weddings with this one...
Just told my wife we’re getting married again so you can come play this.
If you renew your vows you could hire him
If she says no, I'll marry you if Alex is the wedding singer
This can also be entitled "If Andrew McMahon covered MCS!" This sounded fantastic as always, Alex! Definitely always looking forward to your content. Best wishes!
This is literally the best MCS song and the best version of it.
You know I'm always here for more motion city stuff I've been waiting for this for almost 3 years
One of my all time favorite bands in college. Had the chance to see them on many occasions and put on an amazing show every time.
I love this song, and I really dig your version here. Can't get enough of this channel. 👏👏👏
Hitting all the bands I love. MCS, Relient K, Blink 182, Taking Back Sunday. Keeping it all fresh. Good job Boss!
I saw "Alex Melton" and "Motion City Soundtrack" and my mouse couldn't move fast enough
So many feelings. Brother more of these please!
Yeesh. This is absolutely wonderful
Wow!!! Just Wow!!!
I’m physically upset at how good this is.
How can one person have so much talent, man never misses! Shout out to whoever does filming and editing for these videos too, production quality is always top notch
Some of these just feel specifically made for me.
MORE! MORE!! MORE!!! I want more of MCS!!!
Fantastic.
Bloody hell you never fail to deliver
Are you kidding me? This is incredible!
I just bought your vinyl record!! I can’t wait to hear it. I love your work and your voice. You have a great talent and gift to share with the world!! 🎉🎉🎉
One of my favorite songs from back in the day! Awesome cover!
I'm blown away...
Amazing voice. Top tier singer.
Thank you!
Two days ago I was singing this song all day long. So cool that you've dropped this cover today. Thank you
That vocal doubling is HAUNTING
Amazing band ❤
I like to think it was my recommendation of MCS on another video that made this happen. Great job, Alex!
Wow BEAUTIFULLLLL
this was my favorite mcs song growing up, thank you for this cover :3
i'm crying this is beautiful 💜
That was awesome!
Man this was beautiful.
this is so good
Wow. This has always been my favorite MCS song and this version is something I was missing in life. You did an incredible job. Thank you for this.
Would do amazing if you covered this album!! ❤️
I heard this song for the first time in high school about 20 years ago, and it has been on my playlist ever since. This is an amazing version of the song and will also be added. Keep the good tunes coming Alex!
easily one of your best videos yet! thank you for this!
God bless Alex Melton. What an absolute hitter, one of my all time favourite songs of MCS. Would love to hear more of this style.
More motion city soundtrack needed
Alex's output is surreal!
omfg what an amazing job done!
Amazing! Love you covering MCS!!
I love this
Let's go! Love these videos.
Listened to that album on repeat in college. Great version of this song.👍
Omg…literally one of my longest favorite bands this was insanely amazing…you never cease to amaze me brother!!!!!!!!!! Hope to see you live soon
I love that song and that's an incredible version of it
Loved this, more please!
Thanks for listening to my comment on your last motion city soundtrack cover.
"Next motion city cover should definitely be "my favourite accident" -9 months ago
Amazing!
Listened a second time and gotta say the production really puts a nice sparkle on this.
Love this. He has a very nice voice.
Was literally just jamming to I Am The Movie and wondering if any of my friends still listen to motion city soundtrack lol
This is beautiful, alex!
Gawdamn another banger 😍 i love!!
When you asked for suggestions for ballads to make my brain immediately went to literally anything from Sing The Sorrow by AFI. Could be interesting?
Got the vinyl bro! Keep banging out the great music!!
My favorite band and just flippin’ wow man. Absolutely owned it.
Amazing
I got married in September and we played your Downfall of Us All cover during cocktail hour and during dinner in the playlist. It would have been great to have wedding-esque covers like this too!
I knew you would one day cover some MCS. I am so glad it was one of my favorite songs with a beautiful rendition. Thank you Alex.
This is my childhood fav song🎉
I didn’t know this was going to break me but it did. Thanks for doing my favorite band justice.
I can't believe I've never seen this as a huge fan of MCS and you too
More Motion City Soundtrack please.
Hope this one makes it to spotify
I'm pretty sure I'll have to actually play this at my wedding.
Hey guys, today I'm going to speedrun divorce! I think I can get the world record!
You know this is like the opposite of a wedding song, right?
This completes me - thanks
O damn. This is special good.
This is so good! It deserves to be someone's first dance at their wedding :)
Alex, You are a GENIUS.
Wow. This is incredible
Hell yeah
What a throwback. I love MCS but I totally forgot about this one
Love this song! And this version is 😍
Motion city is legit my favorite
