I was actually looking for a different Alex Melton’s RUclips channel. This Alex, however, is white. Still, he’s good. I am having mixed emotions about this song done like this. It seems like there’s “distinct” Blink phases, and he didn’t really stick to any particular one. If he did “slow motion” by 3Eb, in the style of the album with the happy face on it, that would be pretty sick. Or if he did “paralyzer” by finger eleven in the style of Wolfmother or The Darkness, that would be impressive. Or “Mother” by Danzig as though he were Justin Timberlake circa 2002. Lol j/k.
School fucking blew, I'm 44 y.o. and don't feel I ever properly recovered from it. That was back in the '90s, and any fond memories I have of being that age revolve entirely around music and not much else. Nostalgia my hairy white ass--it was the music itself :)

Okay, this was a random video that popped up on my feed and wasn't going to click it, but for some reason did. Glad I did. Think I prefer this to the original. Great job.
This brings back so many mixed memories from the late 90’s. You nailed it. Now, do a cover of a blink song (like damnit) as if Third eye blind wrote it.
363 people don’t realize how much RAW TALENT it takes to become proficient at one instrument, let alone 4. Your vocal range and tone alone are hella impressive man; and the fact you were emulate Blink! 182 without going over the top is a feat in and of itself. Tom’s voice is so unique and you really did the style justice.
@@MrCaddySlash That is the nice thing about cover songs - every take can be fresh in unique. Alex wasn't the first person to cover Semi Charmed Life, but his cover is unique as I expect a Hey Jealousy cover would be.
I don't see many people talking about the beautiful blend of Travis and Scott's drumming styles. I can definitely hear Dude Ranch even though this is mostly TOYPAJ inspired.
You are... SO GOOD at capturing Tom and Mark's vocal styles. Geez you did your homework. Vocally, melodically, rhythmically, I can tell this was made with love for Blink. I end up liking a lot more of these covers more than the originals tbh.
What a fantastically random and heart warming thing to become good at. And you, Sir, are quite good at what you do (playing multiple instruments, mixing that late 90s sound). Hats off. It's a weird project but you're fucking nailing it.
Here from reddit - can’t say how glad I am that I discovered your music. It’s like the best part of the pop punk world mixed with covers of songs I love!
Me before clicking: "If Blink 182 wrote Semi Charmed Life? What does that even mean?" Me eleven seconds after clicking: "Oh, yeah, that's what that means." Which is just how questions work, actually.
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling She's living, she's golden, she lives for me Says she lives for me Ovation, she's got her own motivation She comes 'round and she goes down on me And I make her smile like a drug for you Do ever what you want to do, coming over you Keep on smiling what we go through One stop to the rhythm that divides you And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse Chop another line like a coda with a curse Come on like a freak show, takes the stage We give them the games we play, she say I want something else To get me through this Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby I want something else I'm not listening when you say Goodbye The sky was gold, it was rose I was taking sips up into my nose And I wish I could get back there, some place back there Smiling in the pictures you would take Doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break It won't stop, I won't come down I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the drop And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given Then I bumped again, then I bumped again, I said How do I get back To the place where I fell asleep inside you? How do I get myself back to The place where you said... I want something else To get me through this Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby I want something else I'm not listening when you say Goodbye I believe in the sand beneath my toes The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling I believe in the faith that grows And the four right chords can make me cry When I'm with you I feel like I could die And that would be alright, alright And when the plane came in, she said she was crashing The velvet it rips in the city We tripped on the urge to feel alive But now I'm struggling to survive Those days you were wearing that velvet dress You're the priestess, I must confess Those little red panties, they pass the test So slide up 'round the belly face down on the mattress one And you hold me And we're broken Still it's all that I want to do, just a little now Feel myself hovering off the ground I'm scared, I'm not coming down No, no And I won't run for my life She's got her jaws now locked down in a smile But nothing is alright, alright And I want something else To get me through this life, baby I want something else Not listening when you say Goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye The sky was gold, it was rose I was taking sips up into my nose And I wish I could get back there, some place back there In the place we used to start our lives (I want something else)
Wow. Third Eye Blind’s self-titled album was the first album I ever bought, and Blink might just be my favorite band of all time. So this is just so much feels all wrapped up into one.

🤣🤣 That is both funny And quite sad..
Doesn't that indicate its working as intended?
It is kind of a mind fu** lol
Okay, this was a random video that popped up on my feed and wasn't going to click it, but for some reason did. Glad I did. Think I prefer this to the original. Great job.
Yes...its definitely much better!
This brings back so many mixed memories from the late 90’s. You nailed it. Now, do a cover of a blink song (like damnit) as if Third eye blind wrote it.
The fact that you're able to independently separate and imitate Mark and Tom's tones is so insane. That's a real fan. Love all of your content!!
363 people don’t realize how much RAW TALENT it takes to become proficient at one instrument, let alone 4. Your vocal range and tone alone are hella impressive man; and the fact you were emulate Blink! 182 without going over the top is a feat in and of itself. Tom’s voice is so unique and you really did the style justice.
All of that, plus he edited this thing!
I MISS HIGH SCHOOL :(
Me toooo
Nah
ohhhhhh ND got good taste kamatis!
Eww no
Kamatiiiiis!!
"Hey Jealousy" by Gin Blossoms would be such a good tune in the vein of Blink... Just food for thought.
The Ergs *kind* of did that already
@@MrCaddySlash That is the nice thing about cover songs - every take can be fresh in unique. Alex wasn't the first person to cover Semi Charmed Life, but his cover is unique as I expect a Hey Jealousy cover would be.
I can't begin to say how much I need that to happen.
Still come back to this every once in a while cause it’s just unbelievable how good and accurate it is
This has no business being as good as it is. So solid.
Blink definitely has a distinct sound - that's in about every song. Just like The Police did.
I seriously didn’t know that I needed this, but I need this.
Ikr?
0:28 You could tell me this bit was Mark and I'd put money on it. Amazing job on this man, smashed it! Had it on repeat all week.
I don't see many people talking about the beautiful blend of Travis and Scott's drumming styles. I can definitely hear Dude Ranch even though this is mostly TOYPAJ inspired.
This is a man I’d like to buy a beer, and talk about anything he wants to.
This exactly what my Thursday evening needed.
You are... SO GOOD at capturing Tom and Mark's vocal styles. Geez you did your homework. Vocally, melodically, rhythmically, I can tell this was made with love for Blink. I end up liking a lot more of these covers more than the originals tbh.
"Bop" doesn't even begin to do this one justice.
2:17 that bridge is so spot on Blink
No surprise here. Another banger. A+
What a fantastically random and heart warming thing to become good at. And you, Sir, are quite good at what you do (playing multiple instruments, mixing that late 90s sound). Hats off. It's a weird project but you're fucking nailing it.
He wouldn't be able to do this unless he wrote his own songs too, he not only has respect for these artists, but the craft in general.
Here from reddit - can’t say how glad I am that I discovered your music. It’s like the best part of the pop punk world mixed with covers of songs I love!
Me before clicking: "If Blink 182 wrote Semi Charmed Life? What does that even mean?"
Me eleven seconds after clicking: "Oh, yeah, that's what that means."
Which is just how questions work, actually.
Spilled my bowl reading this laughing lmao
Lol this made me chuckle
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling
She's living, she's golden, she lives for me
Says she lives for me
Ovation, she's got her own motivation
She comes 'round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do, coming over you
Keep on smiling what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
Come on like a freak show, takes the stage
We give them the games we play, she say
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Goodbye
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips up into my nose
And I wish I could get back there, some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break
It won't stop, I won't come down
I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again, I said
How do I get back
To the place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to
The place where you said...
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Goodbye
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be alright, alright
And when the plane came in, she said she was crashing
The velvet it rips in the city
We tripped on the urge to feel alive
But now I'm struggling to survive
Those days you were wearing that velvet dress
You're the priestess, I must confess
Those little red panties, they pass the test
So slide up 'round the belly face down on the mattress one
And you hold me
And we're broken
Still it's all that I want to do, just a little now
Feel myself hovering off the ground
I'm scared, I'm not coming down
No, no
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws now locked down in a smile
But nothing is alright, alright
And I want something else
To get me through this life, baby
I want something else
Not listening when you say
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips up into my nose
And I wish I could get back there, some place back there
In the place we used to start our lives
(I want something else)
0:58 The way Left Alex and Right Alex harmonize
If Blink 182 wrote this:
Song is over 2 minutes long
Wow. Third Eye Blind’s self-titled album was the first album I ever bought, and Blink might just be my favorite band of all time. So this is just so much feels all wrapped up into one.
Congrats on hitting a million views with this one, man. So proud.
Cheers 🍻
