If Lizzy McAlpine's 'Ceilings' Was An Emo Anthem

[@Ant_TitanUp]

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

[@SailHatinSoap]

I mean, all music is just emo music without the punk influence

[@zados3511]

we need this on spotify

[@ID3IMathematica]

Yessssss

[@liambrown2589]

1000000%

[@goatzee69420]

Im here 7 months later still begging

[@LipeeFalcao]

8 months and counting/begging

[@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…

[@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%

[@kamadude7329]

Yesssss huhu

[@ElliottKinsey]

I personally need this on Spotify so badly. PLEASE

[@Kilroxx]

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

[@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

[@RohanGupta_LP]

Neeeeed this in Spotify plzzzzz!

[@reubenpimentil]

Gotta get this on Spotify

[@GP-cy9cs]

Wow, what a cover. Goosebumps.

[@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.

[@shout64]

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

[@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.

[@JakeAdkinsOfficial]

Freaking NAILED IT. And this song hits like a ton of bricks thematically. It's perfect for the style.

[@liambrown2589]

Gutted this isn't on Spotify, masterpiece 🥲

[@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!

[@kiwi1187]

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

[@jason_kovach]

Damn. That chorus hits so damn hard

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@阿湯-n1l]

we need this on spotify~

[@joelb370]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@walwin]

this is magical 🔥

[@Adrian-vk1cu]

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

[@jonathansmith7766]

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

[@davidbillington6926]

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

[@joshfoyer]

This is one of the best so far.

[@toddbarriage]

Man, this is absolutely beautiful

[@froggiesnana]

i need this on spotify plss

[@iosoundstudio]

Bro you HAVE to put these on spotify 😭

[@charliethesquishywitch340]

these are some enchanting harmonies right there

[@thedrivinghouse]

hands down one of the most talented people I’ve ever fucking come across. no question.

[@stretah4646]

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

[@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!

[@iam.tanaka]

This is incredible 😭😭

[@greg-shoes]

Please get this on Spotify!! Please!!

[@adamdishongh246]

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

[@nathanpettijohn]

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

[@connorfinishedthemilk9173]

the "kyasss meee" hits hard

[@CranstonSnordd]

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

[@TimelineRadio]

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

[@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

[@MrNetsrac]

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

[@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!!

[@JoshIdstein]

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

[@opexkoru5157]

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

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

I have been too. On repeat sometimes.

[@sir_quirkus7206]

Better than original. You man are true talent

[@nathankhiangte3070]

Broooooo!! Eargasmm!!!

[@sassywimple]

I found this in my recommended after listening to the original on repeat for hours and dude. this is absolutely unreal. immediately subscribed, and cant wait to go listen to everything else on your channel lol

[@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 🤘🏻

[@Fogoat]

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

[@c12486]

This guy has pipes

[@nuketurnal2]

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

[@tommarkowskimusic]

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

[@theocahya]

underrated basslines. sooo good

[@samcomfort6564]

Unbelievably good

[@cupdechoco]

Liked the video before even hearing your cover. Keep up the amazing work - you're my favourite!

[@doomlegume5219]

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

[@somewherenowhere676]

I can't tell you how many times I've listened to your version of Truth Hurts, so glad it's on Spotify now! Can't wait to listen to it a thousand times more :)

[@thejam1212]

1:16 gave me chills

[@dominiqueeden]

I bet you Lizzy would fking LOVE this.

[@slash196]

Lord jesus ease up on the utter bangers

[@emilycastillo9044]

So goooooddd!! This is really creative, love your voice too!

[@JohnDavidWright]

This is another level Alex. Keep it up!

[@nickjackson8594]

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

[@thewrockett]

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.

[@jonniesharpy]

I listen to this almost every day. Incredible

[@JackPronto]

same bro, same

[@giovannibarbosa5516]

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

[@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.

[@prestonmisponas8832]

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

[@kylechildress26]

Everything about this song is perfect, the drums, the guitar and God damn brother your vocals are sick!

[@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.

[@DavidParke84]

All we know is falling vibes. Killed it.

[@DNA2000-8bit]

GO OFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PunditMusings]

Alex coming in with yet another absolute banger!

[@xplormusic8241]

go off king

[@daniellaytonmusic9865]

This is class

[@ALLDOWNHILL]

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

[@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!

[@mathiasdumke7021]

A great version of an amazing song.

[@SPBurt1]

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

[@Casey_J96]

Wow I loved this song before and it works so well like this!

[@juatitafunnyfit865]

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

[@minimalnub]

Oh take my heart. Your voice heals me. Thank you so much for singing and playing.

[@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!

[@Drekon009]

absolutely beautiful

[@AshleyMusicLived]

Love this! Just found all of your country covers. PLEASE do this song as a country version. When I first heard it I thought it would be a great country song.

[@100DumbIdeas]

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

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

Bro you are a god

[@AnthonygoesApple]

OMG, THANK YOU ALEX! 2:44 made me cry - the emotions, the f e e l s. This brings me back to my youth. Please never stop. NEVER. ilysm

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

It gives me goosebumps through my whole body

[@brandonmalone5758]

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

[@ellspixie]

Or “Ohio Is For Lovers”

[@diana__s]

Devastating. I love this SO much 😭😭❤

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

Such a good way to put it 🙌

[@tylerogle7123]

Hell of a cover. Fantastic. Congratulations!
