If Blink 182 Wrote 'Jumper' by Third Eye Blind

The sequel to 2020's smash hit "If Blink 182 Wrote Semi Charmed Life," this new cover is pretty much the same formula on a different tune. Just kidding (kinda) but I'm really proud of this one!

Someone start a petition to get Alex on the Blink US Tour dates.

[@spookymoblin8888]

He wouldn’t be ON the tour. He would BE the tour!

[@BenjyBraude]

$800 a pop it is!

[@jonnylawless6797]

They'd only pay him 100 bucks a show

[@uptbug]

But I want to be able to afford to see Alex...

[@homsar5675]

I heard that Alex refuses to play with the rest of the Meltons live for some reason. Really sad situation.

[@mccarney4207]

Now that there’s 2 Third Eye Blind covers under your belt, it just makes me want a full recreation of their first album in Blink-182 style

[@mrcsflp]

man, now you made me think about a version of “losing a whole year” and i won’t rest until this dream come true

[@henchlife4224]

the inevitable Blink-style Motorcycle Drive-By is going to be epic

[@mrpineapple17]

100% lets settle for the "A collection" album released in 2006.

@@mrcsflp please

[@Quanze]

@@henchlife4224 I was thinking a Going Country version

[@jessechounard]

I can't stop watching the soda can moving around next to the keyboard. I've named him Felix. He's part of the band now.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Third Eye Blind (Self-Titled), 1997...one of the best albums of all time IMO. Almost every track is great, but it's totally listenable all the way through. So many sleepers too, like "God of Wine" and "The Background". Incredible cover, as always, Alex 🤘🏼

[@philipjackson6627]

The closing three song run is one of the best trio of songs in all of music history

[@loganfytchy-powow4580]

The Background is one of my favourite songs of all time, it encapsulates how I feel by the sound of the music alone. The lyrics then only add

[@thewillformerlyknownasartist]

Third Eye Blind self-titled fucking slams. “Motorcycle Drive-by” is an absolute monster of a track

[@RSpracticalshooting]

Absolutely love that album.

[@maynarddrivesfast804]

100%

[@lorensorenson2129]

The drum work here is other-level. A lot like Blink songs, you have the Barker patterns down. The whole thing is fantastic and works brilliantly, but those drums really elevate it from the original.

[@XOChristianaNicole]

Thought the exact same.

[@razetheroof2012]

Always just blasting... Love it. ❤️

[@MightySwami9]

Well said. Agreed

[@EmbraCraig]

Lots of people mention how spot on the vocals are, but shit, the drums… that’s what makes these tracks really work. They’re just so good

[@Arven501]

Not that I mind the little skits at the start - but it's nice to have it jump right into the song! Congrats on the new Album!

[@YogiTheBearMan]

Ya I wouldn’t mind saving the skits for the end

[@JustJulyo]

He should just upload 2 version, I'll watch both

[@stophatingeachother9762]

The skits are pretty dumb from what I've seen ;D

[@tearstoneactual9773]

Holy crap. I just had YT recommend "Drops of Jupiter" to me, and started tearing through your work. You are so skilled and talented, my bruddah. This looks like it was a lot of hard work but also a hell of a lot of fun. Up there just rockin' out and havin' a great time. It's gonna take a while to burn through all the stuff I wanna listen to. New sub, new fan.

[@roguedawn]

Another Banger, as always. You're basically updating my childhood into my favorite genre.

[@zachayres2655]

The mic stand falling and you trying to grab it is awesome. Thanks for keeping that in the video. Freaking awesome video! What a blessing bro.

[@Halpedersen]

Dude, that arrangement in the second verse is perfection.

[@colin8150]

Right?? I was wondering how he was gonna do it, because you can’t do a “musical cut” twice in a row, and god damn he did not disappoint Sooo good

[@meatbasedvegan4859]

This sounds more like if Alex Melton wrote Jumper

[@smelloflogic7865]

Just about any Third Eye Blind cover is a reason to rejoice. This one is no exception. Such talent! Love your work, Alex!

[@mikeyf7039]

Song is in C major: Alex: “This is BLINK; I will tune half a step down, thank you!!”

[@wwzach169]

Got to see these third eye live a couple months ago. So fun hearing an huge group of people just somg their hearts out

[@johncostello4565]

Your Semi-Charmed cover is how I found your channel. Loved everything you’ve released before and since. Thanks for all the music! (More TBS please, its like getting a remaster of Tell All Your Friends that we don’t deserve but I love so much)

[@ridethedistance4587]

Love the vintage cold start

[@joshmo1817]

I was listening to a Blink-182 playlist at work and this song automatically came on and I thought "When did Blink cover Third Eye Blind!?" I pulled the screen back up and I couldn't believe it wasn't actually Blink. Bloody Brilliant, sir.

[@nickforsyth5887]

Alex’s blink covers are far far better than anything blink is actually putting out rn. Incredible

[@johnd3124]

their new song is lame :( Travis been hanging out with "rappers" too much

[@sebastianolszewski4491]

Well yes, but no

[@Jawich45]

Well yea, he's remixing popular songs with popular chord progressions

[@MrAdamloring1985]

Yeah. There isn’t really much to it.

[@pat6696]

These videos always show me how good the originals are in that they translate to new styles so well. This absolutely sounds like it could be a blink song that would be popular and would fit on the same album as “I miss you”

[@picklerick111]

What do you mean new styles? Blink has been around just as long as Third Eye Blind.

[@pat6696]

@@picklerick111 I know 3eb has been around for the same amount of time, I meant hearing songs played through a different band’s style shows how great the original writing is. Basically, a good melody and chord progression will still be a good song with different styles of music.

[@philteale6658]

I genuinely thought this was Blink-182 doing a cover of Third Eye Blink as I was listening in the background. Good job!

[@conormccann7153]

Bro those drums.... *chefs kiss*

[@RoryBecktar]

Living for the vocals at 0:42

[@Gynan]

Four Year Strong is full of some of the coolest dudes I've ever met. I'm glad you're working with Alan! I'll see them for the 24th time next month in Tampa...

Alex vs the Mic Stand

[@konnormusic17]

The drums are so hardcore metal that I can't even understand how metal it is

[@Iloveblink182]

The tom rolls in the bridge is sick 🥁

[@tnh723]

Singing along in 2023 ♡. Gonna blast this in my garden again this evening. Fanily will appreciate it

[@mickcollins1921]

There has never been a more perfect reimaging of any song ever before in history, ever. Gives the song the energy it deserves without losing the despair and desperation.

[@hellomello258]

This was one of my favorite songs. I was so excited when I saw the video title.

[@quintinbrown5492]

So glad to finally be able to get some merch!

[@StephenCoorlas]

Amazing 🤘Also has a Yellowcard vibe to it

Taking on Barker again and doing him proud! Great job!

Alex got that grin drumming cause he knows he's ripping it up.

If anyone is curious you can also find Alex's music on Spotify and it has certainly made road trips enjoyable. Both nostalgic and transformative I would say! Thanks Alex!

Killing it every single video my man. Well done.

[@MrKris286]

Frig I love this version! One of my faves back in the day too

[@fixiegod]

funny that you just uploaded this because I was actually searching for a version of this song where its Mickey Mouse and goofy singing. love your content man, just thought that coincidence was odd.

[@Skate_or_cry]

These covers never get old, you’re so freaking talented! 👏

[@wifiguy51]

When I saw this first though was "oooh what is he going to do with that bridge??" Was not disappointed!

[@winebird8952]

It’s odd that yesterday I was driving through Ohio on my way home from a business trip, and Jumper played. I was thinking “the guy that does covers would probably make this song even better” and at roughly the same time you posted this video. Serendipity.

[@thewiseandthefoolish]

Enjoyed the song and enjoyed watching the pop-can move back and forth beside the keyboard

[@MatthewVlossak]

You never miss dude! Another banger of a cover 👏

[@TheCJRhodes]

what do you mean? he missed the mic falling over!

Dude you killed it with those transitions. Drums on point!
