If "Unwritten" Was A Heavy Pop Punk Anthem

[@radstronaut]

Alex is the embodiment of a Pop Goes Punk album from 2004 and I am here for it

[@ALIVELESS87]

This is the truth right here!

[@nashcarter1067]

Nothing but true. 😂

[@totino]

The one difference being that Alex doesn't miss! There are definitely some misses on those albums 😂

[@Crackmillionaire]

​@@totinoFor some reason half of these songs are screamo covers for some reason. I personaly dont like that. I was looking forward to some nice (pop)-punk cover but instead I got lots of screaming

[@MattMorey]

It’s like all the bands that contributed to those albums got together and said “we won’t we able to do this forever” so they created Alex in a lab to continute their legacy

[@eriksaberski9155]

Alex is the best cover artist that only plays original music

[@itsDarrell]

Alex, pin this

[@jyflrnz]

He really is one of the cover artist ever!

[@SeventhSalute]

This is hilarious but yet so damn true!! 😂😂

[@JohnWS1892]

First to Eleven can do great covers and have some killer original songs too

[@Cone911]

Deep down in our hearts, we all knew Unwritten was our heavy pop punk anthem.

[@codykurtz8096]

Constantly impressed at the reimagining process for these covers, dude. It's intricate and hits us with the "oh yeah THAT'S what I wanted to hear without realizing that's what I wanted". So sick. Also holy crap that outro was legit.

[@the_Sarahnator]

This was my JAM in 2004. And so was pop punk, so, good call.

[@SeanFarFlung]

No one else, no one else, can do covers as good as you

[@firefiber8760]

man this guy is a fucking machine. like the consistently high quality of everything he puts out is insane. and he captures the feel of the 90's and 00's so well. I can't think of how much work he's put in to get to this point.

[@JohnBiddleMusic]

Alex never misses, it’s seriously insane

[@shevisloane6535]

I’ve honestly imagined this conversation: Satan - “Alex, I’ll give you anything for your soul.” Alex - “I want to be the best cover musician ever… seriously, no misses!” Satan - “That’s an odd request, but sure.”

[@jhvibes3471]

This might be his best one yet, straight to goosebumps

[@Bellabubbles]

Insane that every one of your “if X was pop punk” songs hits me so hard and almost like it was meant to be that way in the first place. My heart is so happy!

[@DecktheHallmarkPodcast]

1:11 The turnaround from C1 to V2 is way too good to only be done once! And yet…it’s perfect. Leave ‘em wanting more

[@tyerker]

So much more than a style change. A true arrangement. And this song SLAPS in the first place. Very cool version.

[@claymccown]

Every time I hear one of your covers I want to find more music that sounds so intricate and has so much dynamics with all the hits and breakdowns, but it just seems like there is NOTHING that just hits as good as your stuff! It just always sounds RIGHT. Always a pleasure.

[@jeremysette3657]

Your drum skills are seriously underrated. Love the syncopation

[@aprilgallagher1973]

Alex, I need to know... have the guys in Blink 182 ever acknowledged your amazing work??? If they haven't then they NEED TO.

[@youngorangee]

Dude this is fire 🔥

[@acekombat2k5]

dude your technical drumming has gotten so good! what an absolute banger

[@ChrisBarrett643]

Just yes! The cover we didn’t know we needed

[@FeminineMonkAsh]

I'm going to need KZbin to just slap me awake every time Alex drops a new track cause everything you touch is gold!

[@snazzydrew]

THIS IS ONE OF MY ANTHEMS TO MY LIFE AND YOU DID IT AGAIN BY MAKING IT EVEN BETTER!

[@leo0machado]

I love how your voice fits so well into the pop punk genre! Another masterpiece, Alex!

[@turkoizdog]

This one one of my guilty pleasures in high school -- guilty because it was "girly" and my friends only listened to pop punk. So it was really cool to see this reimagining and realize that Unwritten IS pretty pop punk in message, as well as being a total banger, no matter what anyone else says.

[@McPhan86]

This is the only one of your covers that doesn't instantly become my favourite version. The kid in the car at the traffic stop is the GOAT, but this is damn good

[@woodlandscrew-pa8568]

Absolutely killer. Again I’m really happy about these older songs you’ve been doing. Keep it up dude.

[@zorlacmc]

Well done, you really nailed the genre. The only thing missing was the pause before the chorus, followed by the band members all leaping into the air.

[@JustJessee]

If "Unwritten" was a b-side cover for Four Year Strong's "Brain Pain" And I'm here for itttttttttttt ❤❤

[@macondiano503]

For the first time, this actually made me think about what the lyrics meant b/c I could hear the feeling in your voice. Made me view this song in a new way?!?

[@RacheWithTheFace]

I try to watch all of your videos so I don’t know how I missed this one, but damn this is so good!!

[@AnthonyBell95]

The fourth of july jam we didn't ask for, but its the one we NEEDED

[@postpup]

I saw the halftime in the last chorus coming a mile away and it still just hit me like a train with emotion. Beautiful.

[@punkemogeekrock]

I love the dynamics of this song. Another banger!

[@lukebridges7664]

Your singing has so much improved these last years! 2:57 amazing singing lick

[@jonbetts3619]

Bro! These covers just keep getting sicker and sicker. Epic

[@OTB_OutTheBox]

That's one heck of a record! Alex never fails 💪 Gotta commend the drum part during the bridge. More power to you and the team!

[@channeljared]

Wow, add this to the list of songs that you've totally reimagined and brought a new meaning to for me. Killed it as always Alex!

[@emptydata-xf7ps]

Don’t ever stop doing what you’re doing. This is so good. I love it

[@bethn2836]

My husband just recently popped this CD into our car. And now this will be the version that plays in my head while driving.

[@will6rocks]

This one went way harder than I was expecting 😂 🔥

[@michelemiller1222]

My God! You are a badass! Stumbled upon your channel today. WOW! I’m in a cover band in Chicago and you’re made a HUGE fan of me!! Well done, my friend!!! KEEP THEM HITS COMIN!!!🙌

[@TPosey24]

The This Is Alex Melton playlist on Spotify has become my favorite one on Spotify. Pure talent, and while they are covers lyrically, they are pure creativity!

[@BeauTylerMakesMusic]

This has major Acceptance vibes and I love it!

[@sebastiansanchezsimo6435]

As a metal head that likes dream pop this is good af, thanks for this bro!!

[@conradmckenzie5089]

Alex - the Lord of anthems- with another one. Well done dude. I appreciate your consistently and creativity

[@wrecktanglin5126]

A concert of these songs would be soo fun!!

[@mattperry129]

Bro... this is by far the best one yet and I love all of em

[@Ladybug0915]

I’m so glad your channel was recommended to me!

[@vqbl795]

This take just makes so much sense. The lyrics has the spirit of punk music, so this is just magnificent 😩🥹💕💕😭

[@joshleonard6680]

the fact that this excellent cover wasnt as deeply satisfying as your other covers speaks to the incredible quality of your everlong and yellow videos

[@SaigeLecteur]

Love this! The only thing it's missing is a little bit of screaming layered under the singing, particularly at "your skin."

[@ThatsRickdiculous]

bro your creativity on the drums is getting so so good. awesome cover!

[@redkeydelarosa1224]

Natasha would be proud 😍❤️🥰

[@4plainlimbs]

This is probably my new favourite cover of yours!

[@ANRQAngel]

Brilliant as always, thank you Alex

[@verticallyspeaking]

Alex! This is incredible!

[@michaelmcardle906]

So much going on here!! It’s a fricken cornucopia of sound!! Sheesh!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@chroma3665]

Such a banger dude!!! Absolute legend as always

[@MsAgro69]

Now you gotta do “Stars are Blind” by Paris Hilton

[@howie8599]

Sounds fantastic!! Definitely a throwback right here

[@Joelypolieolie]

Fuck yeah every part of this is amazing. Keep up the great work dude.

[@PraticallyPragmatic]

Post chorus got those Thrice vibes

[@JBrace78]

Just watched your "Single Ladies" and had to see more. What an amazing talent. Wish this had come up on my recommendations sooner! Alex, not to sound too punny or anything but "You rock!". Keep it up sir!

[@MrRestless86]

I loved this song, when it came out these days. Natasha Bedingfield was my crush. Haha. Awesome version, Alex!!

[@LazyAnimexo]

sick ass drums !!!

[@KWheel_]

I like all of your covers, but this one is one of your best.

[@codyssmith73]

You keep cooking. Makes me wonder what the next song will you cover will be cause you always seem to pick stuff that at first seems like it won’t work but then you make it work. Now my brain is wondering what song you’ll pick next & wishing I could think of a fun suggestion.

[@squidneysoup]

It’s like my childhood music taste and my high school music taste had a baby. SO GOOD

[@BryanDW]

This might be my favorite covers from him. Sick!

[@JarrodSl1]

Alex, I was never a huge fan of this song, but now...This is AWESOME!

[@DxDBigbeasty21]

The intro to the piano reminds me of lying is the most fun a girl can have by panic! Great cover!!!

[@CharGuitarGirl]

You never miss. Honestly.

[@dfjulesful]

Fantastic song regardless and this works so well

[@bommliving1347]

This is the song I’ve been waiting for! ❤ Amazing!

[@JakeLanevideo]

You’ve been on fire recently (even more than usual) 🔥

[@Metalvain4]

Just out here killin' it, dude

[@driver_7x]

Every single millisecond of this over is filled with audible nirvana. NO ONE can re-write and perform songs as well as you can!

[@jenevievearrigan7226]

I absolutely love all your work. Thank you for sharing such creativity and passion. :)

[@jordanalexander1992]

So good. It’s like all your pop punk needs with Alex lol

[@Ironclad.Airsoft]

Mate you do the best covers on all of you tube. Keep up the good work.

[@sirnatanielson]

That was incredibly good my man

[@lailamar]

That was fucking incredible. Everyyyy beat exactly where my soul needed it!

[@chartisiapaxton39]

For the first two notes you sang and I HAD to hit the 👍 brooooooo, betond brilliant 🔥

[@Watchoutforsnakez]

This began as a very well written song in the first place. Nice job.

[@beyondartv]

Always loved the original, you crushed this man! What a banger

[@JoshuaMolloy-y4l]

Nailed it as always.. NEVER disappoints!

[@EmmaDoty21]

I love how the lead singer’s and bassist’s vocals sound different and they’re both Alex.

[@gavinlangston603]

As someone who listened ro this song as a semi-guilty pleasure until i finally decided to embrace it, i needed this cover. Thank you

[@CenteredBull217]

I just recently heard this song and thought just this. Thx for answering my unsent prayers

[@rickprohaska3949]

STRAIGHT FIRE!!!! Alex NAILS it again!!!!!!

[@jj-hk1kz]

Excellent, as always!

[@ZainKhan-kg6qr]

this is the greatest cover of any song i've ever heard

[@himikalka]

Thank you for this wonderful song

[@blueblade6174]

This deserves more views!

[@tortangtalong1]

Another Alex Melton Masterpiece!

[@ryguymoocow123]

I remember this song when I was back in high school! I feel so old. 😂 I love it! You absolutely killed it!

[@ryanmckane87]

The Savior of Pop-Punk Thanks for that awesome piece!

[@sap226]

This is one of your best, which is saying something

[@umitsever1692]

I really liked this one great cover and nice job

[@Kyle_Duffy]

This is great, and it would make for a good template for a metalcore covet too

[@joshh879]

Sick rendition, man.

[@nathanthomson1931]

That interlude! Some nice drum work 👌
