If "Linger" Was An Emo Anthem

- What a fantastic song, such a cool recording in a lot of different ways. I decided to try and make the instrumental more closely resemble the hopeless sense of sadness in the lyrics. I think it came out wonderfully, and I hope to put this on streaming in a few weeks after my FIRST OFFICIAL ORIGINAL SINGLE COMES OUT ON AUG 29! Thanks for listening.
“Will it emo” is the best question we should all be asking ourselves
It emos
"Can Alex turn it into an anthem?"
if you have to ask, you can’t afford it…
do you have to? do you have to? do you have to let it emoooo???
"don't breathe this"

the cat squishmallow being so incredibly squashed in the corner of the couch really adds something to the vibe here
can i be your squishmallow?
😆 I totally agree!
If Dolores O'Riordan was still alive, I think she would have liked this version of her song. RIP Dolores. This rendition almost made me cry.
Get this on Spotify immediately so I can listen it a stupid amount of times, thanks.
ALEX 👏🏻 MELTON 👏🏻 DOES 👏🏻 NOT 👏🏻 MISS
It is an undeniable fact of life, an ironclad dadgum scientific law: Melton doesn't miss.
Truth!!
This one
he is working with some of the greatest hits ever, but he does a great job
NEVER
I never comment on videos, but I've had to break my 5 year streak to express just how phenomenal this cover is! Eugh the feeling of euphoria that bursts from my chest as this builds!
Same here, this is outstanding work
It’s kinda ironic; you could easily be a singer/guitarist/bassist/kick ass drummer in a really successful band…but because of that you don’t need a band. Dang dude, that’s a lot of talent ya got there
So when I first came across your covers a few years ago I thought "Oh, this is a fun, clever gimmick." I don't think that anymore. This isn't a gimmick anymore, they are just legit good covers.
Something that sets Alex's covers apart from a lot of 'this song but a different genre' covers is that he clearly respects the source material. He's not doing it for a bit, he just genuinely loves these songs and wants to show them off in a new way. They always slap!
the soul is there
Beautiful! Rest in glory Dolores O'Riordan.
I still can't believe she's gone. It makes me feel sick every time I hear one of her songs, and I'm not typically like that at all. She had one of the most beautiful and compelling voices.
Holy crap…transported back to teen me. The angst, the feels, and all the things.
The cover we needed.
❤❤❤
Banger, some lovely riffs in this one!
Hey, go make "Timberborners" episodes! 😆
JK, Awesome to meet you here. It's cool you make nice to watch video game content AND also appreciate good music :)
Cheers
Bridge review on this one?
Big strongest shape vibes here
I did not expect to see you pop up here. Nice surprise
Unexpected crossover of my YT timeline.
Might be just me, But I appreciate when an artist covers a song normally sung by the opposite sex and does not change the lyrics to match their sex.
I feel like its a more true to original way of doing covers and I dig it
Keep up the fantastic work Alex
If "Linger" Was An Emo Anthem? It already is brother! Great jam.
Maybe we should clarify and call it an "Early 2000's Emo Anthem" lol
It was more of a Smiths-Sundays chill vibe song. I loved when they came out, they sounded like everything I was already listening to, put in a blender with their own touches on top and that gorgeous voice.
Nah, when Linger was released, the emo scene were bands like Sunny Day Real Estate and Jawbreaker. If you look into them you will hear there is a huge difference in sound.
Linger wasn't emo at all. i assume you're a kid
1:12 that drumming man - so good
Yeah I about died there. It was perfect!!!!
Perfection through silence.
The way the drums come in on this song actually gave me goosebumps. Like really. So good.
I totally go that!
👆 There's a section in there that made me think of Gavin Harrison and now I really want a Porcupine Tree version
Another excellent example of how you can draw from the brilliance of songs across any genre and resonate it with the epic style of music that defined the mid-2000s.
linger is already emo as fuck tbf
@@mradhurley linger was emo at heart but very much a 90's sound
I really can't believe how good your stuff is and how quickly you can churn it out. And the really crazy part is that you're still noticably improving! Pretty much every song is better than the last one, but that's pretty subjective. Objectively speaking, I've noticed that your drumming chops have gotten incredible over the past few months. And in this one, your scream vocals are what really stands out for me. Kudos, my dude. I literally have a spotify playlist for when I'm playing certain video games and like 20 of your songs are in it haha! I think the best part about these videos is that you're clearly having the absolute time of your life playing these songs. It takes a TON of work to make something like this, but you're still making sure to take the time to have fun while you do it.
Keep going, man! Looking forward to every upload!
Feels like it was an emo anthem all along and we just didn't know???! I think that's the quality of good artists, they make their choices seem obvious but only in retrospect. Amazing job, dude!!
It's all about that tambourine work
ALEX man the vocals with the harsher lines with that reverb 🤌🏼 those DRUMS, just the overall production of the whole thing is so well done.
This is one of those songs that make you subconsciously squeeze the accelerator.
So it’s not just me???!?
I'm a simple man....Alex drops a video and I drop everything to watch
Same!!!!😂
Simple man with a Simple Plan
@@Skuplia yep, welcome to my life
I was literally about to put my computer to sleep and go to bed and I saw this in my feed
*sigh* okay ONE more
Right in my 38 years old guts. Old Dopamine kicking in!
I've always known this song but the royal Otis cover made me fall in love. This is top notch too. And as for the original...I really feel like this is a top 10 song all time
Go on tour with all these guys in your video. I’d def go see your band play!
Underrated comment
The Meltons are so good!
I'd pay good money to see all of them play together in person.
This has major Third Eye Blind vibes and I love it for that
What did I just watch? That was fkn incredible! This guy sings, plays multiple instruments and produces genre-bending covers of awesome songs? Glad I found your channel!
Dude you CONTINUE to blow my mind.
As someone who grew up in 99 - early aughts, your covers, your songs, even just the sound of your voice is pure early 2000s.
You are truly, truly talented at this.
OMG, this works SOOOOO well! Dolores would so approve of this version.
The guitar chords and the echo-y yells make this sound EXACTLY like Third Eye Blind, which I love!
Commenting twice - once before, once after.
Linger is one of those songs that could legitimately go on for another 10 minutes and I’d still be listening, it’s that emotionally high.
This takes it to another level, pulling it into the genre it was meant for, I believe, if only they were 10 years or so younger. If this was the original, it would have still been the classic hit of its time. Perfectly done.
these 4 totally different and unique dudes covered this song so damn well!
As a 90's rock dude. Its a yes for me
The modal changes.... VERY well produced version. Kudos!
To answer your question... yes, we have to let this one linger
Dude, thanks!!! You took me away to when I was 16 and I had a skateboard....... this was so powerful in so many ways.
Thanks, you brought a manly tear to my face while walking me through memory lane.
Oddly enough I also would love to hear a yallternative version too!
Btw how much longer till the next worship cover sir?
NGL yallkterbative and pop punk and emo covers should be done if most things just to have that different vibe to each
The second to last “I’m such a FOOL for you” hits so hard 😢
It's unreal how you can turn an already great song into something incredible.
This is so goood! I've been listening to the original on repeat recently and have to thank my algorithm for suggesting your incredible version. Well done!
This might be my favourite cover of Linger, that I have ever heard. This is amazing!
Alex, my man, you never miss! That arpeggiated part at the end gave me goosebumps. Perfect reimagining of this classic. Always look forward to your videos. Grateful for you.
Believe it or not, I was singing this as I sat down to my comp. I was meant to hear this today. *saves to playlist
This is an absolutely incredible cover. This song was truly made for this style of music 💛 looking forward to more
OMG i need this on my spotify like YESTERDAY
I feel like this song transcends all genres. What a damn masterpiece
I watch all of your vids and I think this might just be the best. Keep up the great work I'm obsessed!
It was so good, and then it hit 4 minutes... And somehow it hit a whole nother gear of awesome! That is how to end that song!!
love the def leppard hysteria riff at the end :)
Now I want him to do a Def Leppard song.
Another classic irish song that Alex has worked his magic on. Love this Alex, absolutely nailed it as usual!!
Beautiful, man. The cranberries have such a great catalog. Dolores’ voice was one in a million. This is amazing!
Dude, this... THIS is a MASTERPIECE! I'm BEYOND impressed!
That was my word for it as well!
The first listen of many; I know I'll be coming back to this one
I love the original so damn much, but wow, blown away by this cover. Moved me so much. Great work.
This is amazing!!!! I wasn't expecting to like this so much and for it to go so hard!
"if linger was an emo anthem" it's always been for me, buddy
One of the things I always take away from these videos is just how damn good the song writers were. O'Riordan's lyrics are timeless and Alex just gives them a raw emotion that is both different and the same. Really loved this one
Clicked like after the first chord. Happy Monday to all.
Didn't know I needed this version so much!
I have watched a lot of these videos and your production value is absolutely next level from video to the audio mix. Blows my mind everytime
I’ve been listening to the Royel Otis cover of Linger for the entire past week. Looks like I get another week of Linger dominating my playlist with this cover.
Sounds like a movie soundtracks with superheroes and villains in it. You're amazing man. I've been your fans since 2018 if I'm not mistaken. 😊
like im just amazed that every cover and rewrite is so well done all just by himself. Lets go Alex love the emo anthems
Dude. I just got "Lover" out of my head after it being there over 2 weeks. Now this!?
So good 🔥💜
The 5 minor to the flat 7 just speaks right to my soul.
I've repeated this like 3 times already! ✨
This is the pinnacle litmus test for a well written song, when it can work in any key, any genre, etc. another great one Alex. 👍👍
You are so good at every part but those drums near the end of the song are just so awesome man
Bro just yes, yes yes yes, you are an amazing musician, so happy you keep making youtube vids and ive actually also liked some of your stuff on spotify
That makes it so chill cuz it hits so different.
Pretty incredible be able to make hundreds of thousands of people's lives better on a regular basis
Dude, every song I’ve heard you do you’ve nailed. Great musicianship.
homie just out here uploading bangers day in day out
This could also double as “blink-182 covers linger” 🔥🔥
Holy shit dude, this is the best thing I've heard in months!!!!!!! Goddamnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
You have such a masterful way of envisioning songs transformed, but this one was just especially perfect. Keep up the incredible work
Alex, I had my lighter lit and held high, but the usher came along and made me put it away. I'da used my phone-light, but I couldn't do that and still watch the vid, so...
Another TRIUMPH! i will be glad to watch as long as you continue to make 'em! Thanks!
Alex still out here coming out with these bangers all these years.
This unexpectedly gave me chills. What an outstanding version- no words
Everything you produce is amazing, I can't wait to add this to my spotify playlist and I can't wait for your single!
I have a feeling that a lot of the emo and pop-punk songs we grew up with are actually amazing songs and woefully under appreciated
1/2 time automatically makes everything fucking magnificent.
What a cool cover. Your drums, melodies, and vocals are really well polished. I love Linger and this does it justice.
bro. This is an absolute banger. Couldn't be a better arrangement
The amount of times I've listened to this...
That downshift at 1:49 tho 😍
The beginning sounds like Finch and then the ending is full-on Dashboard 👏🏻
this one is way up on my list of favorite covers of yours. absolute banger of an original, and a banger of a cover.
Those breakdowns got me bobbing like a zombie
Gonna need this on spotify asap!
These are the types of songs I love to see you do.
I've listened to it so many times in the last 24h, it's really gotten under my skin. Really looking forward to the official single, I've enjoyed your prior og stuff just as much as the covers so I know another banger is on the way 😄
This song always makes me want to cry, most times I can't help it. The meaning behind it, the tragic ending of Dolors, the beautiful composition and melody. Wonderful cover!
Need this on iTunes ASAP!
boy i need this on Spotify!!!!!!
Stunning arrangement. Do you ever leave your attic flat? Imagine Jason Deraps in the room below and Samus 66 (The long haired drummer) below him. What a noise you'd all make!
This has The Dangerous Summer vibes to it. Love it.
Dude.. what a cover! Giving all of "If These Streets Could Talk" by Just Surrender kinda vibes. Absolutely love it! Perfect song for a day like today. Thanks, Alex!!
Just when I thought RoyelOtis had recorded the definitive cover for this song...
big fan of cover songs in different genres. Wish more people did this. Nothing wrong with respecting art in different forms.
