I always say a lot of gen Z music is just emo music without the rock instruments. This is a prime example and i love it. The genre never died, it just keeps evolving.

[@zanetruesdale7263]

Lol emo is dead get over it KID

[@OngakuTanuki-tq6pw]

More like "devolving", but yeah, I agree on the concept.

[@OngakuTanuki-tq6pw]

​@@zanetruesdale7263Emo may be dead, but depression isn't 😁

[@Get_yotted]

Isn’t Emo music late millennial early Gen Z music? I remember Punk music was huge when I was in elementary school in the 00’s

[@101gwhite]

These are getting to be an emotional experience. These pop/punk/emo covers check every single box on production quality, instrumentation, tone, hooks and nostalgia.

[@thesoutherntrust2310]

Just need an emotional music video with a story to being told…

[@zados3511]

we need this on spotify

[@ID3IMathematica]

Yessssss

[@liambrown2589]

1000000%

[@Kilroxx]

The crossover I didn't expect but can appreciate FULLY.

[@ZachHall]

I really need you to go on another little mini-tour and play this, Mirrorball and Yellow. We need crying/screaming pits in a dark room with cheap beer.

[@WaghRules]

Fuck mini-tour, we need him in Europe

[@jackhopkins5956]

Completely agree

[@unusbecauseimnotamasochist9045]

Still waiting for this masterpiece to be on Spotify 😍

[@liambrown2589]

10000000%

[@danagranholm4971]

I listen to... a lot... of your stuff and it's a shame Lizzy is only just starting to get big herself, so this won't get the recognition it deserves because this is legitimately the best cover you've done to date, I just keep coming back to it.

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

I agree with the last part

[@liambrown2589]

Gutted this isn't on Spotify, masterpiece 🥲

[@yayeggs]

Close your eyes and just embrace the sound ❤ reminds me of simple times driving at 2am with my crew - no fear, no worries, just Taco Bell and good jams.

[@_icyhotcoffee]

Damn. That chorus hits so damn hard

[@rimshot223]

Alex, I’m an audio engineer and it is my hope to move people the way your covers move me. Keep at it dude. Your an inspiration.

[@conman90125]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME DUDE this is incredible! I saw the thumbnail and I've never clicked so fast on a video. Five Seconds Flat was one of my favorite albums of 2022. This slaps, keep up the amazing work.

[@ryancameron9281]

Dude the bassline you crafted in this one is so solid, really anchors the whole feel. And the sound on the lead just adds to that intensity the whole track has. Such good writing and sound design guys. It's a banger for sure!

[@stretah4646]

Alex was literally born for this genre of music. #CantChangeMyMind

[@kiwi1187]

Holy...this slaps, and the song choice is perfect for this style!

[@andilus]

Still coming back to this months later. Easily one of my favorites you’ve done. Would love to hear this on streaming platforms soon!

[@DevonVanNote]

Lizzy is so good I've seen her live twice. I hope she checks this out!

[@lookforthegood1]

Same! five seconds flat tour was dope as fuck!

[@juatitafunnyfit865]

Why is this not on Spotify?? This is exactly the type of cover I was looking for 😢❤

[@reubenpimentil]

Gotta get this on Spotify

[@rocketboarder8464]

Love this version so much

[@theezat]

This is easily the best cover you've ever done. Like it's not even close. I need more of this.

[@handwashedstars]

You are single handedly keeping my favorite genre alive.

[@joelb370]

Really wish this was on Spotify! Love your work man.

[@shout64]

Still one of my favorite covers you've ever done, i neeeeed it on spotify

[@jonathansmith7766]

I didn't know I needed this song in my life

[@alecsmall]

Searched "ceilings punk cover" and found exactly what I was looking you. Crushed it Alex!

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

Wow I bet that was an amazing surprise for you!

[@jetstream01]

I keep coming back to this one. Absolutely fantastic. I hadn't heard the original song, as is the case with many of these types of covers, and I like the original too. This is definitely your best vocal performance yet.

[@chronicmango]

This is really sick. She writes toward an emo bent already, so it fits right into this. Some sick riffs in here though, dude.

[@doomlegume5219]

I just screamed “Yes!” when I saw the thumbnail. Lizzy is my life 😭

[@delight_sr927]

Adding to the "still need this one on Spotify" squad

[@bassplayer0616]

Man I have been watching you for a while, and I have got to say I can tell that you are REALLY feeling this song, from someone who I had never heard of before until now. Great cover as always, love how you incorporated the falsetto in the chorus. Really dope stuff man. Good for you making covers of songs that are not necessarily popular, but you like and that are really good, especially from artists that are less well known. Lizzy has a new fan now too. Well done as always

[@jamesbenton3207]

I agree with your comment, but how Is lizzy unknown? I've heard her songs on the radio none stop for months aha

[@bassplayer0616]

I don’t listen to the radio pretty much lol

[@froggiesnana]

i need this on spotify plss

[@opexkoru5157]

I listen to this at least once a day lol such a good cover

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

I have been too. On repeat sometimes.

[@connorfinishedthemilk9173]

the "kyasss meee" hits hard

[@CranstonSnordd]

I read this comment at the exact moment the lyric hit. Love it

[@nathanpettijohn]

Everything you put out is as good or better than the original. Seriously impressive!

[@brandonmalone5758]

This feels like the first time I listened to “Cute without the “E”

[@ellspixie]

Or “Ohio Is For Lovers”

[@joshfoyer]

This is one of the best so far.

[@tommarkowskimusic]

idk what we did to deserve such a cool crossover but wow this is sick, yet again Alex

[@c12486]

This guy has pipes

[@dominiqueeden]

I bet you Lizzy would fking LOVE this.

[@Adrian-vk1cu]

You not only have a gift, you ARE a gift. This was fantastic and bought a smile to my face 😊

[@lix2406]

SPOTIFY WHEN 😤

[@iam.tanaka]

This is incredible 😭😭

[@MrNetsrac]

A a huge Lizzy McAlpine and huge Alex Melton Fan this makes me happy.

[@samcomfort6564]

Unbelievably good

[@prestonmisponas8832]

Fav song in a really long time.. truly an incredible rendition

[@santisanahuja]

This might be better than the original

[@santisanahuja]

Update: it definitely is

[@Killerkiki313]

Chills, the entire time.

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

YES! I swear, I will get waves of goosebumps through my whole body throughout the song. I only started getting goosebumps from music like a month ago and it's one of my favorite feelings.

[@charliethesquishywitch340]

these are some enchanting harmonies right there

[@JoshIdstein]

Alex is now just covering my softboi spotify playlist song for song and I am so there for it

[@davidbillington6926]

I absolutely love this cover. I wish you could create an entire album like this!

[@DavidParke84]

All we know is falling vibes. Killed it.

[@nickjackson8594]

An absolute tune reimagined into an absolute tune, love what you do sir

[@TimelineRadio]

you are an amazing producer and singer, this version is so cool

[@nuketurnal2]

not only I get to listen to some awesome covers of good ol emo, but discovering some "new" songs as well

[@m.9212]

At this point I don't even know the originals anymore, so I just pass by to enjoy Alex ripping some truly beautiful music.

[@theocahya]

underrated basslines. sooo good

[@Fogoat]

Another week, another banger emo anthem. I love it!

[@MeTakingAStand]

I've wanted to put together a punk/emo rendition of this song for so long. thanks for paving the way dude. killer as always

[@knill1494]

This has some serious late 2010's Ascend The Hill vibes

[@diana__s]

Devastating. I love this SO much 😭😭❤

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

Such a good way to put it 🙌

[@nathankhiangte3070]

Broooooo!! Eargasmm!!!

[@thewillrockett]

Holy crap. Millenial enjoyer of both emo rock and Lizzy McApline here, and I literally got chills listening to this. I've been listening to Alex's stuff for a long time now, but this one hit a special place with me for some reason. So, so good.

[@sir_quirkus7206]

Better than original. You man are true talent

[@walwin]

this is magical 🔥

[@SPBurt1]

That was awesome!! Cool 90s vibe! Well done...

[@user-mj6mt1gw6o]

[@KondiChilemba]

Brilliant... I would have thought this is actually the original hahaha

[@TuckNelly]

Literally was gonna ask you to cover this, but then you shared the snippet on your Insta and realized it was coming. So sick!!

[@adamdishongh246]

Everything you release slaps, but I keep coming back to this one especially. Stellar job.

[@pawee80367]

u know that feeling when something's so good that you just nervous laugh?? 😅

[@100DumbIdeas]

You gotta be kidding me!! This stabbed me right in the feels.

[@daniellaytonmusic9865]

This is class

[@jonniesharpy]

I listen to this almost every day. Incredible

[@JackPronto]

[@peterkovic2241]

This needs 10x more views

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

1000 times more!

[@notcontentwithlosing]

I don't know the original song and I'm glad this is now, to me personally, the original version.

[@beniahwilson7338]

My guy, when are you putting this on Apple Music? My wife loves this song. This version has me liking it too. 😂

[@PopCultureCatechism]

[@toddbarriage]

Man, this is absolutely beautiful

[@DogGoneDayz]

As a emo baby of this is so so good! Love it!

[@BrockMcGoff]

15k views on this is criminal. Come on, KZbin! I’m getting some Incubus/Deftones/a perfect circle vibes from this. Love it so much 🤘🏻

[@krisreilly8856]

I haven't heard the original, but this already sounds like what this song should be.

[@brad1785]

It would be amazing if there was a version where the outro was longer.

[@inthepocketbass]

ADTR vibes. Killed it.

[@EvanHarper772]

Need this on spotify yesterday

[@ALLDOWNHILL]

I've been obessed with this album for a while now. Great job on this one!

[@giovannibarbosa5516]

Awesome! You really know how to do a Emo/Pop punk musical arrangements!

[@mathiasdumke7021]

A great version of an amazing song.

[@gelollobrera440]

I already have a playlist of you making me cry with your covers. Now you've added one more. You're so awesome as always!

[@gm-bh5tg]

Now we need the country version.

[@matthewlewis8605]

I thought to myself as was listening to the original today in the car, that Alex would kill an emo anthem version.. and behold.. It is here!!! Great work!

[@pacificwindows7546]

Hear me out. Ive never heard the original before. This makes me believe that your originals if you choose to fully follow that direction, would change the world. Ive never ever heard such beautiful, heartfelt music in my life.
