i want to be your drummer/gimblast/LD/engineer/handyman/welder/blacksmith/sitionally aware comedian?
You are amazing, i love it ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
This was so good that I am now demanding the whole album.
I thought that was the plan at one point
Seconded
I am demanding it too. Like, he can't not do it!!!
I cannot emphasize enough how much I agree 😊
Yes!!! It’s a NEED!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I still have hopes that she’ll put out a pop-punk album some day.
so much of her music is so pop punk, i’m praying for the day
Majority of the fandom does.
It WILL happened my friend, just a matter of time. Speak Now is at least the closest thing to a pop-punk T-Swift album. Make sure to check out her re-recording album, Speak Now Taylor's Version comes out July 7th.
Was listening to Betty the other day and thought the chord progression and melody sounded like it could easily be pop punk
That would have been Karma Album
Guess who's gonna be listening to this on repeat for a while now?
Exactly, my neighbors
🤣🤣🤣
LOL
If I where your neighbor, I would dig this.. coming over for a beverage 💪, asking for a dance 😂😂😂
been here for an hour bro. so good.
😂😂😂😂😂
Taylor Swift low key writes some of the best pop punk songs. There is arguably more pop punk covers of her songs than any other individual artist
I think she just writes greatly structured songs, that can probably be covered in any way and sound amaing
She has said a few different times that Fall Out Boy were one of her biggest lyrical influences and has done some fall out boy covers at her concerts. Also there's a song with them on her next album as well as a song with Hayley williams
she is arguably one of the best lyricists to ever do it, and i think that really resonates with the punk vibe and sound. 100% goes with any beat and style!
I hope she hears this, because she would love it.
Send it to her
Okay but I need "folklore (Alex's pop punk version)" immediately
Bro you can't do this... I'm trying to be a responsible successful adult, approaching 30. This song cover just regressed my emotional state 15 years. Suddenly i'm a heart broken teenager in emotional distress again. My wife is like, "babe are you okay?"... No I'm not okay and nobody understands me! You got me reliving my "its not a faze" faze 5 minutes at a time. 😂 Got me needing Jesus when I already got him!🤣
100% Great song cover! One of your best works to date!
P.S. when people ask me who my favorite current secular artist is, I say Alex Melton.
Thanks for all the great work bro!
i absolutely would’ve been a basket case if this would’ve dropped during my formative years
It was never just a phase
You’re my second favorite non-non-secular cover artist.
Calling Folklore her best album is the kind of hot take I can 100% get behind. Great cover as always!
It was exactly now that Hyperion realized this was not simply fact.
definitely her best album. Isn't that common knowledge?!
I consider Folklore/evermore to be sister albums, both masterpieces, both her top albums.
@@peterblombergmusic it's common knowledge to the people I've talked to who aren't hardcore Swifties, but most of the Swifties I've talked to really don't care for them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@connorrouillard3873 I can totally see that, since I am kind of in that realm - kind of a passive fan until I listened to Folklore. On the other hand, the Swifties I know LOVE folklore..but I don't know many.
Fun fact: One of her biggest songwriting inspirations is Pete Wentz! Also yes, Mirrorball is a top 5 track for me on Folklore.
Yeah you can hear the emo influences in some of her stuff, for sure. This one is especially Dashboard-ish, she's even got a line about spinning in your highest heels, which is directly lifted to from a DC song! Love it
@@CurtisKlope She also loves Dashboard Confessional lmao.
This is extra funny because when the new FOB album came out and had a song called “Hold Me Like a Grudge” my immediate thought was “isn’t that a TSwift line?” (No, I was thinking of “keep you like an oath” from All Too Well)
@@n.o.9838 I think it's from reputation "I keep him foreva (lol), like a vendetta"
@@CurtisKlopeshe loves it, i remember her dueting with the rock band vocalist of the song love and hate collide, it was beautiful
this makes me feel like i'm listening to punk goes pop again back in 2009 ❤️ the emo kid grows up but the emo never leaves
you can take the kid out of the emo but you can’t take the emo out of the kid
Honestly when I first heard this song on Folklore I was immediately getting Dashboard Confessional vibes, especially the chorus and the “spinning in my highest heels” line with that melody. This just solidified it in my mind. This was an amazing cover
SAME i think they influenced her song writing style a lot
I definitely hear it, but it was actually Illicit Affairs that gave me the strongest Dashboard vibes. Still wishing for Chris to cover it
This is so Mayday Parade imo and, having once been a 12 year-old who listened to Taylor Swift and pop punk bands interchangeably, this is absolutely giving me life
i fucking love mayday parade
You sir are a national treasure.
Being from England, I'm going to make that international treasure.
International* treasure 🍁
Sunny South Africa agrees 🇿🇦
From argentina here
Malaysia 🇲🇾 agrees as well!
Folklore is her best album, I agree. She does her best work lyrically when she’s crafting stories and it was so cool to see a whole album of just that.
i didn't realize i needed this until i listened to it. you made me realize just how emo this song can be and i absolutely love it. my teenage self is screaming
i need whole folklore in this pop punk era PLEASE it is her best album and it was made for pop punk
i second that.
Pop punk has always been my jam, and for some reason Taylor songs fit that genre really well. She has really good lyrics and melodies.
Amazing work
She’s an amazing song writer
As a Taylor Swift fan and a fan of Alex Melton pop punk covers...I need more like this in my ear holes stat! I mean, in honor of the eras tour why not do one from each era. 😁
I had literal goosebumps 😍
Being a Taylor Swift fan since her second album her songs own a special place in my heart🖤 And your versions are always so well crafted, I really admire your work🙏
The "hush" goes so hard!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! As a hardcore swiftie, I really want Taylor to release a pop-punk album someday. I love this cover
As a pop punk girlie who loves Taylor Swift, I want more please!!! You guys are gold✨🤍
In another universe Taylor Swift is an emo/pop punk artist.
The majority of songs on her album 'fearless' could easily be songs made by bands like MCR, The Used, Dashboard Confessional, just to name a few.
Taylors songs just have that vibe.
So sick. Your covers always drop while I’m in my music theory class and I always go to the bathroom in the middle so I can bump them. Love this song and this cover
Dave, I need you to analyze this and report back
This is so sick!! i´m a Swiftie and love punk rock too. Please do all Folklore and Evermore albums. I need it!!! Amazing job !!
I really didn't expect this style to suit this song so well omg
The fact that this showed up in Recommended 13 days after it was first uploaded is fate.
I listened to this at 1.25 speed by accident, and I think that tempo rips just a bit harder
I did this too, yeah, it RIPS
Totally agree. I might have to throw it in Ableton to speed it up with less artifacting.
Why not just commit to the 2x speed? 😅
@@AaronCano1 because then it sounds bad (in my personal opinion)?
Uh wow good point! High tempo is the way to go
My teenage daughter and huge TS fan loved this. That's pretty high praise! Awesome version, you are amazing!
I recently re-listened to Folklore and I had the exact same thought of how good mirrorball is. You did an amazing job with this cover!
I love how this is in my playlist but not the original version. Well done Alex!
I'm a Swiftie and I low-key like this one more than the original. Keep it up, you're talented!
I already said this on another Taylor cover but another great T-Swift song that would shine with the pop-punk treatment is "You Are in Love" from 1989. It's begging to have some heavy guitar backing it. Hope to hear it from you some day, Alex!
This is one of my favorite songs from the album and you just made it even better. I'm amazed, keep doing your excellent work!
Yes please more deep cut Taylor swift covers!
I've had this on repeat for an hour now. I could listen to a whole album of your Taylor Swift covers!
This is freaking amazing.
I've been binge-listening to songs from the channel for the past day since discovering it. Still in awe.
I'm OBSESSED omg. Haunted would also be so dramatic as pop punk!
She’s getting there though, after Evermore I knew her arc was swinging around to Pop Punk and I’m so here for it! Maybe one or two more albums and we’ll get one 🥰
Mirrorball has always reminded me of Stolen by Dashboard Confessionals. So this cover just makes logical sense. I could totally see this version on Gossip Girl or The OC.
The lyric was here:
I want you to know
I'm a mirrorball
I'll show you every version of yourself tonight
I'll get you out on the floor
Shimmering beautiful
And when I break it's in a million pieces
Hush
When no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you
Hush
I know they said the end is near
But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you
I want you to know
I'm a mirrorball
I can change everything about me to fit in
You are not like the regulars
The masquerade revelers
Drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten
Hush
When no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you
Hush
I know they said the end is near
But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you
And they called off the circus
Burned the disco down
When they sent home the horses
And the rodeo clowns
I'm still on that tightrope
I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me
I'm still a believer but I don't know why
I've never been a natural
All I do is try, try, try
I'm still on that trapeze
I'm still trying everything
To keep you looking at me
Because I'm a mirrorball
I'm a mirrorball
I'll show you every version of yourself
Tonight
Finally! This is how the whole album should be. Need a bassist/backing vocals? 🎸
And, nice 💎 that it ended at 04:09 too!
You know, if Taylor had been born just 5 years earlier, she probably would have had a pop punk era.
came from tiktok because this is just sooooo good and i can't get enough of it!!!! i hope it'll be on spotify soon!!! this is just so good and the younger me who was raised listening to emo songs but is a huge swiftie too is soooo happy 😭😭😭
This is so good! I have goosebumps. As a mirrorbal stan, a swiftie, someone who grew up with pop punk, and now a folk girlie, this is amazing! 💜🖤
This is literally INSANE. You’re my new favorite band.
Midnights and Folklore and definitely my favorite albums of hers and I wasn't even a Taylor Swift fan until before this year when I discovered them lol
How are you missing evermore? On a par if not better than folklore in parts. Midnights is quite disappointing I think
@@adamnicholson1839 I am actually listening to evermore right now but so far only 3-4 songs are ones I actually like (the actual evermore song is actually on replay for me right now). But it's to each their own. I do like evermore but not as much as I like Midnights and Folklore lol
I think I actively dislike midnights as much as I was expecting great things
@@adamnicholson1839 if it was a rock album I would've liked it more probably too
SHES LONG OVERDUE A ROCK ALBUM LMAO.
I just went back and watched all of your Taylor covers - my mid-'00s high school emo self is LIVING. I would fr buy every album if you ever did full album covers
Mirrorball - an underrated song. Thanks for giving justice to this song 🥰
Ridiculously good! Getting some Dashboard vibes.
I will forever love your work on these. I hope it’s as fulfilling creating these as it is to hear them. Nicely done brother.
I love this so much! The vocals are great and the instrumentals are on a whole another level!
Man, this is high on the list of the best songs you've covered. This is a banger
Did Taylor time travel to my high school years and give my favorite bands these lyrics? 😭 Please do more!
On TT yesterday I saw an early-ish video of Taylor Swift playing an electric guitar and doing one of her songs (I can't remember, it was 2 am & I was marinating in benadryl and melatonin) & ever since, my millennial soul is BEGGING for her next era to be dripping with 90s grunge/early 00's pop punk.
THIS IS SO GOOD i love how you arrange the bridge part!!!
Full disclosure, I've been standing 10 toes down on Mirrorball being the best folk era Taylor song, and this cover has re-routed in my head to it being a PP song. This is the best version of this song full stop to me lol.
I just came back to this! You need to do the whole album! This is so good!
Your voice is so good!!
I heard this cover before even hearing the original song and it’s now one of my favorite Taylor swift songs. But to your credit I still like your version even better 😎
Taylor's best album is Speak Now. Fight me.
Omg!! I've been waiting for you to post this on Spotify and the algorithm blessed me on TH-cam!
I effing love everything about this but especially the energy👌
Perfection! Wish you could cover more of hers.
1:04 mannnnn i just got chills
love this vibe, please made the whole album!!!!
Love it. Gotta give a plug for speeding up to 1.25 speed tho. Feels just a bit more pop punk-y
Gosh! I never knew I needed this version and now I badly want it on streaming.
Wooowww!! Never thought it fits perfectly!! 🤩✨✨ we want more please!
This is actually my favourite Taylor Swift song !! Love your covers sm 💕
I NEED a full album of song covers in pop punk/ emo styles
Goddamn this is so good. I listen to all your TS covers a lot but Cardigan and The 1 in particular. I'm now trying to imagine in my head how you'd do the other Folklore songs.
Such a great cover! Praying she’ll get to hear it.
3:15 chills
That’s so good!!!! Reminds me of 2005-2010 times
You simply do not miss. Insane.
I have goosebumps. This is one of my favorites from blondie and I am obsessed with this cover!! I need more!!
Dude, you're awesome! I love your Taylor Swift Punk rock versions! Thank you for sharing your talent!
I recently realized that Taylor swift is literally just pop punk music without the crunchy instrumentals…or vice versa. And you keep proving it by covering all her songs as pop punk songs and I’m instantly like “oh well yeah I like this” haha. Another home run man.
What an incredible version….! Continue like this! ❤
With songs like haunted, story of us, should have said no and better than revenge, taylor swift could definitely make a rock influenced album. It would be really cool to watch her fully embrace the rock genre.
3:02 every then-g is perfect
Holy crap… this is FIRE. Will defo be playing this on repeat from now on! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’m a fan!
Alex sure knows how to arrange, really impressive in every video i honestly cant believe how low views his videos get! Keep up the incredible work!!!
Yey new upload! Love ittt!! 😍😍😍
The way I'm screaming along to this, never connected t mirrorball till now😭
Taylor Swift should have a pop punk era❤
Screaming at the top of my lungs that Taylor has the heart and lyrics of an emo/pop punk kid but the music style of a pop/country artist.
Dude this is an absolute banger. Well done mate!!!
amazing! you should do a whole playlist of this!
I'M SO HAPPY YOU UPLOAD THIS ON SPOTIFY. I'll be listening on repeat god knows how long. 💜💜💜💜
This reminds me of the dangerous summer and real friends. I love your covers so much!
I love covers like this anyone could have done a popular Taylor song but you picked a lost gem of a track that doesn’t get enough love you killed it!! 🤘🏼
THIS IS AMAZING!
Ahhhh, just that intro caresses my soul
Why is this SO much better than the original?? 💜
This is awesome my dude!
Your mixes are freaking great dude. Cheers from Memphis
