Thanks Lewitt for sponsoring this video! This is an advertisement - but all opinions expressed are my actual opinions.
I love a good acoustic cover, and 'Always' is such an iconic bop. Also, these mics are so good at capturing the delicate finger picking and softer vibes.

This is the best Lewitt commercial I've ever seen. :-D
*starts saving for a matched pair of LCT040s*
@Marshall Fairbrother he's got the LCT140 Air pair. The 040 is a little smaller and has a little different sound character, but very close.
Also got a Lewitt microphone and it's awesome

I'm not sure this didn't play over the closing monologue of a Scrubs episode.
And in the end, I think what Doctor Cox says rings true, "sometimes it is just a flip of the coin, Britney".
Yoooooo straight chills with this thought. There’s a season we must have missed...
That would have been absolutely perfect
Love the acoustics in Scrubs.
"The hospital has a weird way of reminding you how hard relationships are. You may at times be bitter enemies, [Cox and Kelso glare at each other, before Cox huffs off], or maybe too close, [Turk and Carla seen sitting at the lunchroom table, discussing her impending maternity leave] but at the end of the day people expect you all to unite in the fight against mortality. At points it seems impossible, but I suppose that's what working at a hospital is. Beating the odds, even if it means doing so with people you don't really know how to handle. [scene ends as JD awkwardly stops before the exit, seeing Elliot sitting on the steps outside waiting for a ride. He draws in a breath and pushes ahead.]
JD [to Elliot]: "See you tomorrow."
Elliot: "Wha? Oh, ya, see ya."
I am a 30 year old dude. Happily married to my 30 year old wife. These songs are what we grew up on. We are the ones keeping them alive. I've gotten my Lil bro and his friends back into it. My cousin. The younger generation in my area. I take pride in that haha. Now we have two beautiful daughters. 8 and 4. There isn't a night that goes by that we aren't listening to this music. I want you to know there isn't a night that goes by we aren't listening to you. What you have done to the most important music of our lives is incredible. Thank you dude. Seriously thank you.
There's no debate. This man is the king of crossovers.
100%
This has long been established and reiterated with every upload.
The Algorithm must be appeased
The Allan Iverson that crossed over Michael Jordan in 1997 and told him to watch the throne would like a word.
@@mikemojica has he become a fantastic singer since then? Because otherwise NO ONE CARES!
Growing up I was a huge poppunk kid but getting into my 30s I've gravitated to more acoustic music. I love this! MOAR PLZ!
Get into emo music bro, basically a mix of the two
Its not too late to turn back...
you'll love Odi Acoustic

@@chrisabuel6441 I do love Odi! Shame he hasn't put out much in a while.
Same. Especially when going for a long drive.
I love how there is no talking, no "What's up guys, it's your boy Alex", no montage of how you made the song - just straight to the glorious content! Keep it up! I will watch every single one of your videos.
This is first dance material.
Totally 👍 agree
A song about divorce...
@@davidwatkins3915 That's why it's so brilliant!
💯
@@davidwatkins3915 is it really ?
This sounds like a song a couple would have their first dance to at a wedding. It just hits different now.
Shame it’s a song about divorce!
@@davidwatkins3915 Then it's perfect as a wedding song! Considering the amount of people who used Green Day's Time of Your Life (real name, Good Riddance) for their weddings.
Going to use it as mine
There is NO combination he cannot SLAY. HIRING YOU FOR A GARDEN CONCERT ASAP
Sounds like something I would have heard on the radio in the mid 2000's. I'm into it.
Well, you literally have. It was called "Always" by blink 182. 😉 But I understand what you mean. 😊
Wow. Yes, exactly.
Sounds almost like Plain White T's or Death Cab
I feel like it's trying to tap into that "Collide" by Howie Day (I think) vibe
@@brochill47 That's exactly the song I thought of too! Haha.
That’s it. Alex is taking my job in terms of testing mics. Well done man, keep up the amazing work.
You should have the Alex Melton test be a segment on mic reviews
@@BillNicholsTV you mean get the pop punk king on my channel to test mics. You know I’d be on board with that since I just do a shitty pop punk bastardization myself.
@@Podcastage Your pop punks are NOT shitty! I think a mic/song collab should be a thing with you two.
"Always" is my favorite Blink song and this interpretation is the style of music I listen to the most currently so this is P E R F E C T.
This was the best ad I've ever seen. I don't even use mics but I want to buy this now.
Well… I’m 100% sold on Lewitt now. Glad I found your channel man, everything you’re touching is gold!
Ah yes, a shot of Alex Melton straight to the veins. That's some good stuff right here.
do you not think he loves himself way too much though? good cover but way too much of HIM!
@@dizzydazed8055 what? No. What would you prefer he showed? The wall? Pft...
This takes me back to the days when RUclips was just Boyce Avenue covers and goofy videos made by random people
That rain sound throughout is just perfect. Well done mate!
Bro... you would be able to take a rainy evening testing new microphones and still give me something that I desperately needed today. I had a complete shit day at work, but when I saw this notification, it was instant gratification.
Nailed it again, man! Thank you!
The lead electric tone on the outro gave me actual goosebumps, ooft
Great job - and those mics sound amazing.
This is everything. If you did a version like this but with Sum41's "With me" I would be forever grateful.
Same !!
One of my favorite blink songs! I never realized how well it’d work acoustic until now! Awesome job!
This was beautiful 👏
Chris Van Vliet on an Alex Melton video is work ethic central. I have never felt lazier lol
Van Vliet x Melton is the crossover I didn't know I wanted until now...
CVV knows who to call if he ever needs new theme music
Can we get an interview with Brian Pillman Jr. soon?
@@xtransxcorex another one? We’ve already done 2!
One thing I’ve allways wonted from blink was a acoustic album , this will do
I especially love the sound of rain playing in the backdrop the whole time... perfect touch.
Your Blink 182 covers are always the best man. Please keep them coming
dude... so good. As a digital marketer, there are a ton of sponsored influencers or wannabes that need to take this video as a master class on how to do it right. Brilliant. I want to buy this version of the song.
I didn't know you could put even more emotion into an already emotional song the way Alex just did. Unreal and pretty amazing
You’ve got some gift for doing these crossovers. How someone can take a pop punk song and flip them so effortlessly to make it seem as though your version is the long lost original that the pop punk band covered like you do is immense. Bra-f’in-vo.
How could you dislike this? 2 people clearly dont want to be held, kissed, and tasted!
Your wack
Hahahahahaha 😐😐😐😐
The most enjoyable Ad I’ve seen in a long time!
I'm a simple man. I see new Alex Melton content, I click.
You beat me actually
F
This type of comment is slowly surpassing “first!” as most irritating as fuck comment on RUclips.
Clearly not a very creative man...
Cant even come up with your own comment.
@@Shralps Never claimed to be creative! Just wanted to express my appreciation for a great content creator.
I guess the quality of a song is the fact that you can completely change the genre and it still sounds awesome. Also love that Blink still influences other people too. Nice job!
Need this up on iTunes before my wedding June 26,2021! My fiancé and I dig all your stuff!
The original song was great. His slow version feels like it captured the essence of the words even more. 10/10 will listen again multiple times.
band kid here, it isn't actually slower! the song is played at the same tempo as the original, but it still feels slower. proof that music is dark sorcery
This pro right here @@pbjwizard. Music really is some dark sorcery.
I for sure want more acoustic indie music! You nail it. And the facial expression and the echos are just heartbreaking in the best way!
I don't understand how you pump these out every week. So much work! Well done and thank you, this is awesome. You've got me interested in those mics now, the sound quality is A+
Friggin dope af, you could honestly call this 'If the Goo Goo Dolls made Always'
You beat me to it!
Gotta be one of the most talented guys on RUclips
Keep doing what youre doing man, Love this channel!
Always great stuff! I saw AP plugged you (at least I saw it on my FB feed). You're big time man! Congrats!
I like the little production lesson in the video too. Entertaining and informative. And sounds bail to boot!
Probably the best sponsered video I've seen on youtube! Great job man
This is awesome, you deserve the sponsorship, and I will be checking out their mics soon for my summer project with friends.
Genuinely stunning song. The Blink covers are quite possibly the best on YT. Keep up the great work!
Drop a follow on Alex's spotify to grab these tracks for the road!
Is this one on Spotify ?
@@emp01 He's added a fair amount from previous videos, but this particular track I wasn't able to find. Maybe it will be added soon?
Once again I am here to say THIS MAN DOESN’T MISS
Man those mics sound amazing! Keep doing things and stuff with them!
I've got to say you're by far the best RUclipsr I've found in 2021. I can't wait to see what else you do.
Amazing, you have mad skills. I love Blink182 and love anything you do with their songs, or other songs to be like theirs! But mostly this one you bring the words to life in such a deep and clear way. I’ve already listened to this 4 times in a row and will be coming back many times!
Amazing! Everything you put out is so great and nostalgic for a late 90s early 00s kid!
Even when I don't like the songs they are just so well done. Appreciate the awesome videos man.
Alex! You need to put this on your Spotify channel asap. All your crossovers are killer but this is my favorite so far.
And congratulations on signing your label!
More this style would be super cool! Maybe Iris or Stay together for the kids?
Everything you touch turns to gold man
One minute and this is my favorite vocal composition you’ve done
Your sound quality is incredible! And this song is PERFECT for acoustic, especially the end.
That had the feels going bro. Beautifully done.
The quality gives me goosebumps, this is gold man, very well done!
I hope this cover gets put on spotify, its gorgeous
I really enjoyed that! And I agree, those mics are gorgeous! Lovely arrangement too.
Incredible! These type of videos always makes me very happy. Keep it up!
Dude...the mic's capture how epic you covered this song! Gave me chills.
Amazing, just beatiful, this is my weeding song
On your way to the top man! Going to be one million subs soon!🤘🏼
yo this is phenomenal. probably my favorite you've done.
thank you dude
You're the ultimate wedding singer in the best fucking way. I love all the songs you cover and your spin is always undeniably recognizable, undeniably different, undeniably what you're trying to make it and undeniably PERFECT. Only complaint is I want more!
This is so terribly lovely. And the timing was just perfect--I got a notification just as the sun started shining through the rainclouds here in Portland ❤️
I just found you, and every song I have heard just makes me smile. I have always said their is nothing better than a good cover, and you are nailing it... all of it!
Amazing. Very well done Alex, just like every other video.
Wow! You have great vision, man! Kudos! Always is one of my favorite songs and this is revamped, but true to the original
Dude so good…. Would love to listen to more of these types of acoustic indie songs
Absolutely LOVE this version. Thank you for putting this out.
This was great. I would say keep up the good work but you already crush everything you put out, and shit keeps getting better and better. Anyway I will just be sitting here quietly waiting for the next video to come out.
Alex, you've taken some of my favorite songs and made them better. I didn't even think that was possible, but you've blown my mind, dude. Well done!
I too enjoyed learning about the different microphones and their respective qualities. Thank-you. Much love from Zimbabwe.
2:50 - Eric Clapton would be proud.
You're so talented man, every band you've covered was done beautifully, keep up the good work, Alex (:
I just found your Blink - Journey cover song the other day and now you have a new subscriber. Your videos are amazing!!! Can't wait to play through all your videos and see what you have next!
Maybe the best cover I’ve heard of Blink, and they’re my favourite band of all time.
i would buy your arrangements. just beautiful
great great great!!! one of my favorite songs of all time!!! Thank you!!!
This sounds amazing Alex! Glad that you enjoy the mics! ❤
This is awesome bro! Keep up the awesome work!!
HI HELLO YES I LOVE YOUR COVERS, would you ever consider doing First Date in this style?!?!?!? Lowkey need something in a month, lol, and just wanted to throw that out there hahaha. First Date is our song! Love your country version but as a wedding song.... can't do country lol.
Every time I see one of your videos just makes me wanna jam out.
I hit the like button before the first note was even strummed. Keep up with doing these please
love this! keep up your work! always refreshing to hear a new take on an old song
This is some slow dance scene in a movie type music, really well done, love the creative covers!
Covers or not, you're arrangements are incredible. Love this
Hopping to hear more like this. THUMBS UP!
I swear man that ending got me right in the feels keep it up brother 🙏
your creativity is insane bro. great video ;)
This is so beautiful.. please, put this song on spotify
I don't care who you are but the what goes into this production and the result is wonderful!
Great job and, thanks for taking us along with the equipment as well as the impressive sound we hear!
As always, awesome! :)
Him having 182k subscribers right now is so perfect
The ambient sound pick up on those mics is nuts

You really are an underrated talent. Can't wait to see you getting the full recognition you deserve, cos that time is coming!
Fantastic cover. Please release this on spotify
Bomb cover! The beginning guitar reminds me of Goodnight Elisabeth :)
