Alex Melton's Top 10 Covers of 2024

[@rowegardner9673]

“Linger” was really something special dude. You really knocked that out of the park.

[@johnwaffleton]

Snubbed for #1

[@jacobmooneyhan758]

Agreed, I listen to it all the time

[@gman1080]

Linger was amazing but my top would be Fix You

[@EndoEDM]

The Jump cover is easily my favorite thing you've ever done. You said it was a big departure from your usual thing, but that's exactly why it hits so much. It's so unique, and the vibes are off the chart. I would love to see you twist other big 70s/80s rock hits like this.

[@mattoliversd]

Same for me. There was a 2 week period where I was playing that song like 5 times a day. The vibes just had me hooked.

[@SALEENS7GTR5]

Damn, we have good taste

[@remingtonlanenga2524]

@@mattoliversd SAME!

[@RiccardoBerticelli]

The Dancing In The Dark one also hits so hard. You twisting 80s songs really is the vibe for 2025. Keep it coming, we’re all here for it ❤

[@derekkey2803]

If you want a softer acoustic version of "Dancing In The Dark", check out the version by Eddie Berman. Fun to listen to his and Alex's back to back because they're such different takes on the song!

[@Doinstuffman]

What's My Age Again is my #1, not just this year, but my favorite thing you've done

[@CanallIA]

This is the best cover channel on KZbin i've seen here so far. Every arrangement here I see are made with the proper dedication and some tracks are better than the original ones. Keep pushing, insipiring and sharing with us. Happy New Year!

[@JesseTherrien]

The thing I truly enjoy about your covers is that you aren’t afraid to deconstruct the original, put your own spin on it and make it truly yours. Your arranging is top notch. It’s beyond “what if this was pop-punk or country”, it’s “what if Alex makes it his own”.

[@UpAndReady]

Your take on “Fast Car” is one of my favorite things ever. The work from the “rhythm section” is incredible

[@jetstream01]

Been here since the beginning my man. You've been amazing to follow this whole time and I can't wait to listen to you for many years to come.

[@DarkblooM_IO]

Thank you Alex for an amazing year of music, looking forward fro what's to come

[@firstplacelast2]

@13:32 and we're going to keep listening to you! Strong work dude!

[@cobratrinity]

Hands down one of the best channels on KZbin. Thanks for a great year, Alex. Fix You is my #1 also. Epic.

[@UToobJunkie814]

Fix you was my personal favorite. Keep up the great work, Alex. Grateful for all the music you've given us

[@therealmorganofficial]

Been watching you for years and I greatly appreciate your covers, especially the hypotheticals and half time drums. Keep on rockin dude!

[@brosky117]

Your ability to cover so many genres tastefully and give proper respect to the original work while bringing your style is second to none. Excited for another year!

[@LeighDZ87]

Fix You hits me hard every single time I hear it. You’re awesome and to hear your take on it blew me away. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@ImMattFromAus]

Yellow and Fix You are 100% within my top 5 of your covers. They're exceptional and you should be proud of them.

[@julesriganti]

as a musician that loves covering songs i feel so seen by what you said about not loving to write songs, love your videos dude, have a great 2025

[@leosellez]

Dear Alex, just wanted to let you know that your stuff being on streaming platforms is what i‘ve been waiting for for so long!!! But mainly, a gigantic THANK YOU, your music is truely a gift and really inspiring to a middling musician like myself Keep on rockin’ dude!

[@remingtonlanenga2524]

Jump, Linger and Fix You. All better than the original. I am so glad I stumbled upon Alex.

[@adamr1162]

Bless you Alex! Here’s to hanging out on the Tube with you in 2025!

[@TheDjentyOne]

I’m very happy with your original songs and you should definitely explore that, but your covers have a sort of magic to them I haven’t seen before with arrangements and energy 👏🏻 can’t wait to see what’s next man.

[@clipsmasterproductions7479]

Love the flashback to Yellow with the video background. It’s still by far my favorite cover of yours! For this year my top three let’s say are: Should’ve Been Cowboy (such an emotive version of that song) I Believe in a Thing Called Love (to me a very expressive, ballsy cover) And Closing Time (just really like the vibe and groove) Thanks for doing what you do, Alex. Blessings to all for 2025!

[@jbuz289]

You are so good at what you do. Thanks for all the amazing covers, and Happy New Year Alex!

[@nathanthomson1931]

My top 5: 5. What's My Age Again 4. Ready For It 3. Linger 2. Fix You 1. I believe in a Thing Called Love I would love to see more skits with the Meltons or the worship band and that humor. When you did the Meshugga pose... 😂😂😂

[@Minus4]

Man your covers sometimes hit that sweet spot that just send the music to the moon and i cant wait to hear what you cover next

[@drummerboydibs]

Thanks for another year of being the best channel on KZbin. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your skills, talents, and even creative processes with us.

[@peterw2880]

The linger cover was absolutely beautiful. A great song that I think you took to incredible new heights

[@lc8361]

Alex, thank you! What a year man. I got into you during lockdown and it kept me sane. I hope you have a great NY!!! 2025 baby 😂

[@carterwilson756]

Great year Alex! Congratulations and looking forward to what's next :)

[@CRASHdumEE]

Can’t wait for “What’s my age again” on streaming. I’m happy for you. You’re living out a dream that I’ve always wanted to do musically.

[@trenmage]

ur killing it bro. happy for u.

[@yorozuya_gchan]

Your covers of "Pinch Me" and "Real World" has been on loop for me multiple times the past few days, so those might be the top ones in my heart, especially "Real World". Admittedly, I can't go back to the original version, the punk sound just makes it more complete for me, lol.

[@JRLink13]

From all of this, I feel like you'd be an AMAZING producer. Your arrangements and ideas are SO good and you're able to see stuff in songs. I'm looking forward to next year dude!

[@honorinemusic]

Boot Scootin' Boogie was one of my favorite covers you've ever done. I already loved that song, but this was so good.

[@flutchman]

listened to all of your cover, what a nice year to follow, thank you for your work, wish you nice things for you and family for 2025 :)

[@slothsarecool222]

Honestly Alex you deserve all the success that's coming to you. You're super talented and in the age of AI to see content that's authentic and created by hand is so refreshing. You're gonna go far and you absolutely deserve it. Happy New Year!

[@BluSnafu]

You sir are just an inspiration. Your covers bring a spark and your passion and joy in music shine bright each and every time. I thank you and appreciate you and wish you a beautiful 2025 Alex!

[@maxkay8847]

Please keep making this. Your style and your musicality always catch my ears. Thanks for all your covers so far! ❤

[@rogerleavitt9480]

Well done! I truly enjoy your craft!

[@wuelbercastillo4367]

Alex, I'm really glad you're content with the amount of revenue this brings to support your family and pay your bills, it's the best way to continue doing what you do best. You're genuinely an inspiration to me as a musician/producer and be sure I'll keep tuning in to support you and your craft for the years to come. Happy new year man. P.S. your original songs are really good in every aspect including writing, hopefully you'll dive into that a little bit more soon. P.S. 2: Your hypothetical albums and some of your old singles disappeared from YT Music a while back, hopefully you can put them back again soon.

[@lockwoodstandard1855]

I really enjoyed this video. I would love to hear your favorite cover for each year your channel's been active. A walk through memory lane, I guess. BTW, don't knock your original writing. I have really enjoyed the 2 originals you put out this year and look forward to hearing more.

[@brimzw]

You cover of Linger was my favorite of the year. One of my favorite of yours ever.

[@ryansexton5771]

just want to say I absolutely adore what you do and love your videos. HUGE fan. can't wait to see what you do this year

[@NickGiambruno]

Your dancing in the dark cover was fantastic dude!

[@justthepip]

found your channel from 'Fix You,' earned a quick sub from me. Congrats on the success this year, looking forward to whatever you've got in the pike next year

[@jsirius94]

Your cover of Fix You is a song I can put on solo repeat and keep vibing too for a while… I also enjoy Higher and Closing Time quite a bit

[@christopherknox1124]

Your arrangements always inspire me. Every video gets me reaching for my guitar to start working through something. Cheers and Godspeed, brother!

[@VkFrost999]

I love you and your music dude !! Cheers from a mexican living in France :D

[@BakedPwntatoes]

I will always tune in. You can count on me!

[@musthabe_]

Lovely to hear your thoughts and emotions about your covers. I was really happy you did a "Lights and Sounds" video which is one of my all time favourite songs. And one of my all time favourite videos of yours is Blank Space Re-harmonized, I hope you'll do more re-harmonizations in the future. Thanks for being so creative and looking forward to your videos in 2025!

[@BrockMcGoff]

Idk man, Take It Easy is right up there with all of your covers imo. Keep writing!

[@nathplum]

Keep em' coming. Keen for more banga covers in 2025. You da man. Ps....would like to hear Alex Melton meets "Island In The Sun" - Weezer....

[@tysonoswald304]

You have been my favorite artist for a number of years now. Highly featured on most of my Spotify playlists. Keep making these amazing covers and please don't stop making original songs. I feel like you are right on the brink of a massive hit. Thanks so much for what you do. There were at least 5 times this year where a crappy day was turned around by seeing you had dropped new stuff. Looking forward to what 2025 will bring!

[@ethancole6742]

You’re always crushing it. Definitely my favorite artist this year. Wouldn’t be surprised if you carry that title for me in the future.

[@tannermillican]

I loved the lights and sounds deep dive. Would love more videos deep diving into your favorite albums

[@JMisSC08]

Alex should be at 1 millions subs by now. Top tier talent. Especially with him not pushing ads.

[@sirtogii5216]

I only discovered your work through Justin's reaction video but will definitely take part in the voting in 2025 :-) Great stuff!

[@MikeRivkees]

Awesome work... but more importantly, from a filmmaking standpoint, this A cam interview setup is SICK. This video made me want to do more covers. Keep kicking ass man!

[@jeff_towers]

Jump was so incredibly rad. So much so that I referenced in on my drum clinic dates for 2024 #singledrumtheory I appreciate you and your incredible talent my friend!

[@ds-09xz]

that Linger version.... goosebumps. You're f* good on this!

[@EricLancheres]

When you were talking about just being good at covers or not... I just wanted to chime in and say I really enjoyed your original "Infinity" song. I'd love to see more solo-acoustic performances in the new year as well (perhaps a second channel called AlexMeltonLive or AlexMeltonAcoustic). Cheers and thanks for the music this year!

[@danaignozza]

You released your cover of “Fix You” right after my grandfather passed away this year. And it was something I really needed at that time in my life. I listened to it a lot. Thank you so much. You’ll never know how much your artistry really reached me when I needed it to ❤

[@officialdazlaar]

The sound of that rain was 100% amsr for the vids LOL. Your version of I Believe in a thing called Love was a BANGER!

[@PunkCoverMoose]

i love your stuff man. great job and looking forwrd to more!

[@ginaford6762]

Alex! You featured in the shots from your old videos your Chvches make them gold cover and it's still one of my favorites!

[@KenLantern]

Love your covers and especially the Emo Yellow was 💛🤘✨️

[@roderickking4797]

I'd put Infinity right up there with the covers like Linger from this year! Hoping for more originals and maybe even an LP in 2025!

[@bonn1771]

So much good tunes this yyear Looking forward to 2025

[@scottlindholm8938]

My top 5 from you this year: Infinity, your original, is so fantastic. I am eager for your album. 1 Fast Car 2 Red Wine Supernova 3 I Believe In A Thing Called Love 4 Should Have Been A Cowboy 5 Real World

[@TheBurtonian]

I love the coldplay one! Great job man!

[@DawmChella]

Man, I was kinda disappointed the "if Blink wrote Real World" didn't make this list. I know it might be more of a deep cut, but easily my #1 for the year. Either way, keep pumping out these bangers dude 🤘

[@JComm57]

Happy New Year everyone! 🎉 I’m looking forward to more great music in 2025!

[@nikkoleyjan04]

I really loved your Jump cover - but my favorite cover of yours - of all time - was Ceilings and Mmmbop

[@ultimatist]

Fix You was special. Dozens of views are from me. Build to climax to resolution was beautiful.

[@tiberiuswolf8259]

I think most people who write think their writing isn't very good. I enjoy your original content just as much as I enjoy your covers, and I can't wait to see what 2025 bring for your channel!

[@Jetpilott77]

Keep up the AMAZING work

[@trappedcat3615]

Your version of "Fix You" is better than the original in my humble opinions. I have it on my Spotify repeats.

[@derekkey2803]

Dude! I feel the same about the Luke Combs cover of Fast Car. His cover is fine because the original song was amazing and he didn't change anything. It's always a bummer when people don't put their own spin on covers. I'm always really inspired by covers of the song "We Will Become Sillhouettes" by The Postal Service. I would love to see your rendition. Also, my favorite from this list if "Jump", but shoutouts to your covers of Drops of Jupiter and Real World.

[@ryanperry4370]

Ready For It was special, My daughter is a huge Taylor swift fan and I’m a huge pop punk/alternative fan so I may be biased but that was my #1

[@Ramoranscout]

I keep coming back to the Linger cover. It just speaks to me for some reason. So hard agree on it's place on the list.

[@darklegion720]

I like the background rain, is nice

[@KindaAngy]

Would it be possible to showcase some of the amp sims and guitar setups you used? Maybe some of your favorites? I recently got a modeling unit and finding my tone on it. My favorite covers this past year are definitely: Linger Fix You Should've Been A Cowboy

[@pschmidty5]

You’re the man, Alex

[@earthatom7]

"The boys are back in town" will always have a special place in my heart because I saw "Navy Seals" in my formative years 😂

[@AaronWood]

Taylor takes it for me. Thank you for all the awesome music in 2024!

[@the_Sarahnator]

I think my #1 favorite this year was the emo "Closing Time" cover. I remember just getting a ✨️feeling✨️ like I was a teenager again and it was really special. Lots of bangers this year, though!!!

[@JrPeople64]

Wish he did more “worship style” covers. Those are really fun to watch

[@Guijaune]

My favorite cover was Jump. ✌️

[@inspectorvoid]

When we getting another worship version of a song?

[@ttt-de6sm]

“feeling this” acoustic is my favorite I like it better than the original

[@xbrandon]

" i know im good " hell ya dude.

Can you do bloc party - flux next year? Dancing in the dark and closing time were my fave this year

[@austinward558]

You need to make a cover band from this. Like frog leap studios did. I would love to be your drummer.
