  • 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

      Nothing but true. 😂

    • @totino
      @totino Год назад +13

      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
      @MattMorey Год назад +6

      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

    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
    @firefiber8760 Год назад +40

    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.

    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!

    • @shevisloane6535
      @shevisloane6535 Год назад +3

      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.”

  • @zorlacmc
    @zorlacmc Месяц назад +1

    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.

  • @tyerker
    @tyerker Год назад +18

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

  • @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

  • @terrazero2972
    @terrazero2972 Год назад +26

    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.

  • @turkoizdog
    @turkoizdog Год назад +13

    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.
