If "Unwritten" Was A Heavy Pop Punk Anthem

Natasha Bedingfield really popped off with this one back in the mid 00's - the vocal melodies and chord progressions just begged for a slightly heavier treatment this week! Hope y'all enjoy.

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!! 😂😂

[@Cone911]

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

[@the_Sarahnator]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@SeanFarFlung]

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

[@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!

[@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.”

[@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.

[@tyerker]

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

[@terrazero2972]

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

[@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

[@ChrisBarrett643]

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

[@JustJessee]

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

[@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.

[@snazzydrew]

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

[@acekombat2k5]

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

[@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!

[@squidneysoup]

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

[@leo0machado]

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

[@will6rocks]

This one went way harder than I was expecting 😂 🔥

[@AnthonyBell95]

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

[@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.

[@youngorangee]

Dude this is fire 🔥

[@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.

[@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?!?

[@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.

[@EVRNDR]

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

[@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!

[@ThatsRickdiculous]

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

[@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!

[@emptydata-xf7ps]

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

[@sebastiansanchezsimo6435]

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

[@wrecktanglin5126]

A concert of these songs would be soo fun!!

[@jonbetts3619]

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

[@keeleydrain]

*hears first note, clicks like'

[@tbodkins]

Just for clarity, the keyboard click or????

[@punkemogeekrock]

I love the dynamics of this song. Another banger!

[@Ladybug0915]

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

[@Metalvain4]

Just out here killin' it, dude

[@jenevievearrigan7226]

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

[@howie8599]

Sounds fantastic!! Definitely a throwback right here

[@ANRQAngel]

Brilliant as always, thank you Alex

[@4plainlimbs]

This is probably my new favourite cover of yours!

[@mattperry129]

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

[@ad1312ad]

that bridge oh my GOD

[@BryanDW]

This might be my favorite covers from him. Sick!

[@nathanthomson1931]

That interlude! Some nice drum work 👌

[@verticallyspeaking]

Alex! This is incredible!

[@chroma3665]

Such a banger dude!!! Absolute legend as always

[@vqbl795]

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

[@jj-hk1kz]

Excellent, as always!

[@rickykirkpatrick4678]

Love this!

[@RealAndySkibba]

Such a good song and cover!

[@jordanalexander1992]

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

[@JakeLanevideo]

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

[@conradmckenzie5089]

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

[@skast3r]

So good!

[@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!

[@ShanTsung]

Wow, this is amazing!

[@sirnatanielson]

That was incredibly good my man

[@himikalka]

Thank you for this wonderful song

[@JSDuncan2113]

You’re in a league of your own at this point, dude.

[@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

[@joshh879]

Sick rendition, man.

[@TheJonahFeingold]

this is so good.

[@KWheel_]

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

[@maddoggie2137]

Great work 🎉

[@bommliving1347]

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

[@DxDBigbeasty21]

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

[@user-gn9uw9he7p]

Nailed it as always.. NEVER disappoints!

[@dfjulesful]

Fantastic song regardless and this works so well

[@chartisiapaxton39]

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

[@CharGuitarGirl]

You never miss. Honestly.

[@michaelmcardle906]

[@ChronicUnderachiever1]

This is gold!

[@wasab1tch]

We're here for the Pop Goes Punk Spotify playlists of these songs that you are covering! Damn dude these are the best!

[@ryguymoocow123]

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

[@abductor3378]

Dude this was really bad asss

[@MadailinBurnhope]

an incredible cover

[@umitsever1692]

I really liked this one great cover and nice job

[@will6rocks]

Imagine screaming these lyrics in the rain at Warped Tour 2004

[@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!

[@drummerjames91]

This sounds really good

[@aaronlawson203]

this has four year strong all over this i love this

[@lanijoy]

Amazing 😭

[@jasonrivers969]

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

[@sap226]

This is one of your best, which is saying something

[@jameswoodland8594]

Can’t wait for the next hypotheticals ep. It’s gonna get some plays

[@EmmaDoty21]

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

[@Ironclad.Airsoft]

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

[@tortangtalong1]

Another Alex Melton Masterpiece!

[@DTC2903]

Loved Natasha Bedingfield back in those days!!! This is such an awesome cover 😍

[@lailamar]

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

[@Kyle_Duffy]

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

[@MonticArckeys]

Didn't realise this song would have travelled across the pond!

[@rickprohaska3949]

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