Feeling This (Blink-182) Y'allternative Version

[@b3agz]

Alex is a true professional. Carried on playing this song even though his house was clearly on fire.

You can see him looking before the second verse: what, uh ok, keep playing..😅

[@magicemu]

I feel like the "y'alternative" series started as, "haha it's country" and now it's just, "Alex actually likes playing country."

[@eduardolopez7670]

It was all a joke, until it wasn’t.

[@bezwin235]

It’s like when I started using the words “lit and totes and on fleek” ironically until…They weren’t being used ironically anymore

[@sarahphotoseattle]

Somehow I now like country too.

[@noahDnewport]

The nostalgia is palpable. This reminds me of a girl I dated as a teenager. My brother introduced us. We stayed up all night talking on MySpace the day before our first date. The date was as perfect as I could have ever hoped. Instant chemistry, shared interests, and she had a great sense of humor. I just loved being around her. On the way taking her home, she played First Date and we sang every word then laughed our heads off. She lived in the middle of nowhere and told me that my Civic wouldn’t make it up her gravel driveway. Of course it could, but I went along with it. We parked at the bottom and got out to walk. She grabbed my hand and pulled me close. When our lips met, I could have sworn there were fireworks. It was a perfect moment. The type you wish you could hold onto, make last forever. Maybe it was just young, dumb love. The kind you never really forget. We always sang along to music in the car. Feeling This was one of our favorites. She sang Tom’s parts and I sang Mark’s. This takes me back to that time, 14 years ago… driving down dark country roads, music at full volume, falling in love. It’s been a long time since I remembered what that felt like. It’s been a long time since a song gave me chills. Thanks, brother.

[@JamesBPartridge]

Dude I was so invested in this story 🥺

[@acidpinkie8648]

You literally lived what I wanted

[@TheRedneckrappers]

Incredibly well put, I felt the same when I heard this. There’s just something about your first love. This takes me back to that point as well. Some things you can’t replace. No matter how it ended, you’ll always be grateful for the memories

Like you're ready to pour a quarter cup of batter and wait until bubbles form on the top. Flip the pancake to let the other side brown, and serve with maple syrup. It was a perfect pancake. The type you wish you could hold onto, make last forever. Maybe it was just Aunt Jemimah. The kind you never really forget.

[@chancebreen7899]

You’re comment gave me chills lol

[@MrQuirke9]

"Feeling This" is often my song when I start down a path of reminiscing. It makes me think of the care-free summer days in my teens hanging around with friends, getting into trouble but loving every single second. I'm in my 30s now and have lost contact with a lot of these friends after moving away and some have passed on. I accidentally came across this looking for another one, but I'm happy I did. It's such a gorgeous cover and you were able to capture the emotion I think is behind the initial writing of it.

[@MrLuckyDbo]

Y'alt just became my new favorite genre.

[@christopherrzasa7769]

good ol y’alternative

[@megshep]

Wow. This sounds like a heart-wrenching ballad instead of the horny romp that it originally was. I'm continually impressed with your arrangement skills!

[@makudonarudokairu]

Technically Mark wrote a more tender love song and Tom wrote a horny romp and when they came together and put it together it just gelled enough that they left it mostly as-is with 2 different tones of 'love' throughout the song.

[@MAXOOSH]

ROMP!?

[@megshep]

@@MAXOOSH I'm an 80 year old in a 30 year old's body haha.

[@SMAAAASHTV]

I never felt like it was all that sexual, despite some of Tom's lyrics. It always felt like a blossoming romance, that was new and fun, then turns to what happened once that ended. I love the original version. This one is great too, but definitely more of a chill ballad.

[@mikehurt3290]

Thats one reason why I love Bink, a lot of their songs are simple yet can be pretty deep at the same time.

[@TheDreldar]

my dog i had for almost 11 years passed away recently. today was the first day i had to come home from work and she wasnt there, this made me feel better. thanks Alex

[@Heidelbeere04]

Sorry for your loss. I think that this video will be the right one for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKjPhKakqNeUgbM. A really beautiful video and song.

[@joep3494]

The harmonies they dropped at the end of this song were insane. Say what you will about Blink, but they wrote some of the catchiest songs ever.

[@Mishatje2901]

I need the whole Blink discography as y'allternative

[@LadyAnimeYuki]

Thiiiiiisssssssss please 🥺

[@sbush7118]

I'd buy that box set, then download it too!

[@TheJoncic]

Reminds me of a dear friend who passed away. Makes me think of him happy, in his youth chasing girls and listening to punk rock.

[@AdamerioPhD]

i'm amazed at how many pop-punk songs make really nice country songs... perhaps proof that some pop-punk songs were actually thoughtful, emotionally intelligent songs that probed universal human emotions and feelings... some...

[@graememowat2322]

This version is criminally underviewed. Absolutely fantastic performance, should be very proud of it.

[@goatrivergambler8049]

pretty cool that Blink 182 did a pop-punk cover of your song man!

[@WesDaviestravel]

He's tricked me into thinking this was a country song in disguise all along. Can you do some early Yellowcard songs like this? Or Brand New? Or Starting Line? lol

It's all the same genre of pop music. I thought that was the whole point of this channel.

[@kristianjohnsen7995]

Pop punk and bro country, even most of nashville pop isn’t too different. A lot of pop punk is basically boy bands with a rock & roll outfit. Doesn’t matter as long as the music is good

[@trg10y]

This isn’t even corny! It’s actually really quite beautiful. You’ve done an awesome job of this cover. Even with the subtle sonics and backing arrangement 👌🏽

This is hard to comprehend. Like how much raw talent it takes just to move a song between genres like this is underrated even for those of us who truly do appreciate it. Unreal, bro. Unreal.

[@kalendarkids1517]
