- Motion City Soundtrack goes easycore? I personally think this sounds like Four Year Strong and The Wonder Years had a child who grew up listening to The Dangerous Summer. Love that for me.
This will be coming to streaming services as part of the Hypotheticals Vol. 2 EP very soon.

Hey Y'all! I've partnered with Sweetwater to answer some of the more common questions I get on my videos by providing affiliate links to the things I use.
I'm using a Roland kit imp.i114863.net/jWDXLv as a midi controller,
to control this virtual instrument: imp.i114863.net/zaXgq7
My guitar amp sounds: imp.i114863.net/kjQgNv
My Bass: imp.i114863.net/5bz36o
My interface: imp.i114863.net/vn1zON
Need to get that VST. It sounds incredible.
Do you have a list of video equipment you use. Curious what FPS and RES you shoot in. Thanks!
Congrats!! You need to come visit sweetwater if you haven't yet!
What's the pink guitar you're playing here?
No way you're using Amplitude. When I had A4 it sounded so tinny and flat. Must've been a hefty leap in a generation
We need more motion city soundtrack covers in our lives
Or perhaps Justin will see it and say… I’ll calab with this dude!
Yes yes yes!
Agree
A-Ok
@@call_me_cooper your future freaks me out
I've been waiting for this one my whole life
I think this is my favorite yet Alex!!
This song took me waaaay back. Loved it.
Dope guitar work as always. Great cover fam
You got your Our Lady Peace in my Motion City Soundtrack
This is your best approach of making a song interesting again. Respect!
Thanks for bringing some love to MCS! You crushed those quirky high notes!
I'm impressed. well done brother.
Glorious. Glad those guys have gotten back for some shows.
BEST ONE YET, I MISS THIS BAND
The toooooonnnneeeee 😍😍😍
This was cool dude!
This goes too hard. Sheesh.
That intro is soo good. love both the cover and the original song!
SLAPS!
Maybe the best punk band ever. This is great!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gah this made me so happy
I like this better than the original
Me again, asking once again for a HTD version of Ex's & Oh's by Atreyu. Pretty please with sprinkles on top kthanksbye until next HTD song.
What is that pink guitar? That thing is gorgeous?
How about a Millencolin - No Cigar half time cover?
I'd love to hear a Blink 182 version of this song
Andddd I’m in high school again with my boyfriend at the skatepark 😂
I love this, holy shit.
Every now and again Motion City Soundtrack will randomly pop back into my life and it instantly lifts my spirits. 100% every single time.
Me on their tour this summer - 100%
So this is what it would sound like if Justin Courtney PIerre was the front man of Four Year Strong. This is so tight. One of the best bands from 00’s, and an outstanding cover Alex.
Holy shit yeah, just mashed up two of my favorite bands of all time (commit this to memory and rise or die trying are still played a few times a week)
Great pull for an excellent description
Major four year strong vibes from this song
DUDE WHAT A CONNECTION. Spot on.
Two of my faves (you and Alex... Also Motion City so three of my faves!)
Nailed it.
Surprised as hell to see Motion City Soundtrack being covered, and it's a refreshing cover of it too. Great job Alex as always! Have you looked into Everlong/Foo Fighters or maybe My Chemical Romance for some half time drums also?
Dead! half-time drums when?
Everlong! Yes! Already feels weird to hear the half time in my head😁😁
So good. This band deserved more love than they got.
Absolutely
Agreed. MCS is my favorite band. It pains me that a lot of people don't share the same sentiment
got to see them at my good friends bachelor party back in January 2020, amazing show and it definitely hit the nostalgia spot.
MCS is like one of the few emo bands I listened to that I don't cringe at now
YES. This is SUCH a sick take on my favorite song of my youth!
I love the eccentricity that is MCS but this adds such a cool vibe
They really did manage to carve out such a special and unique sound, hard to do in this genre but I also love them for it
They are one of my all time favourite bands and the half time makes it’s sound even more like them that’s wild!
@@AlexMelton Please do a Juliana theory song 🙂 you always deliver my dude.
@@whataburgerwithadrpepper4576 is it even possible for him to 1/2 time 'top of the world' lol
@@joshdavidolson I believe man
I REALLY need a collection of "but the drums are half time" songs on vinyl
Seconded
2005 such a great year for music. Everything in Transit by Jacks Mannequin, The Everglow by Mae, Commit This To Memory by Motion City Soundtrack, Never Take Friendship Personal by Anberlin, Wake the Dead by Comeback Kid, In Motion by Copeland.
Just felt like throwing The Comfort of Home by Rufio in there as well. Great list, my guy!
jacks mannequin is so good!
I was born in 2005, hence my taste of music.
Agreed! All of my fave bands! Especially Anberlin!
Paula sparks tonight ✨️
This is the juice! I feel 14 again 🙌
I was really worried that the part that starts at 2:20 wouldn’t hit as hard with the Half time drums. Safe to say, my worries were assuaged! Banger arrangement, as always!
That was my favorite part
Those major 7 chords with cut time just make life good again.
What a nostalgia trip. I listened to this so many times as a preteen that I could still reflexively mouth out the words, despite not having heard this in... God, seventeen years. Fucking hell, that's literally half of my life.
This is such a trip back 15 years! This was (still is) one of my absolute favourite songs. Such a good take
Oh fuck yeah. Shoot this directly into my veins. I can’t wait to see MCR in two months
Dude seriously, every single one of these are bangers. Halftime drums are sexy
That's my big take away from this
Dude. I love motion city soundtrack. I was skeptical of the half time bit but dear lord it was astounding.
Half time makes everything better
Awesome! This has always been one of my favorite songs to drum to because of all the off-beat hits and I love how you still gave a lot of that feel in the drums, even with it half time.
I’ve been on a huge Motion City Soundtrack kick this month. I can’t tell you how stoked I was to see you cover this song. I look forward to Thursdays every week to seeing what new amazing and genius thing you’ll do next. Thanks for the great tunes!
DUDE. Motion city soundtrack was my first concert, this sent me into fucken orbit
hells yeah, a marriage of some truly beautiful things. Stellar job on Justin's singing.
Nice.. 👌🎶
Maybe you can do Every Avenue's Where Were You cover next please?
Haven’t heard this song is years!! Killer job as always!!
The arrangement is so damn good! It hits me similar to the original song, but feels more introspective. Perfect for the mid/late 30's punk guy. Keep up the great work!
I love it when Alex does the opposite of That Thing You Do!
lmao
Now there's a reference that only us old timers are going to get. Shit, I wonder if that movie is on any of the streaming sites now.
It's on Starz right now!
Omg!!! I love this band. They have a unique sound and great story telling in their lyrics. Great cover!!!!!
Now I want to hear some Muse with half time drums...
This is better than the original. Just saying.
Bro, will you play at my wedding?
This is undeniably pop punk but somehow MCS transcended that label (in my mind at least). Love and will always love their music. “Hold me down” is so good.
I was not expecting to see a track from possibly my favorite album of all time pop up on here
Chills. Straight chills. Melton, you've fucking killed it again (not unexpected at this point, but always exciting)
Alex I already loved your work but now that you're doing a cover of my favourite band? My heart can only take so much
This is incredible. One of my favorite songs and you put such a neat sound to it. You’re truly amazing. 💖
This half time drums series is sicker that London in 1649... Every cover has been bad ass man!!!
Dude this is SO snappy and clean. I can’t help head banging. Fantastic job
Wouldn't it be crazy if MCS started playing the song with half time drums live after seeing this.
Alex and the half time Meltone’s is starting to feel as the best band name ever 😎😎😎
Hell of a cover once again man, love your take on this series 🤙
as someone who is a HUGE MCS fan, I'm always wary of covers. But this is excellent!!!!
Love this so much brother 😭
Ride/crash levels are too low. If you’re gonna commit to going half-time with drums you gotta boost those levels to fill in that extra space. Not a complaint just an observation that might give these a little more oomph
I disagree with your opinions and find your delivery to be off putting! Music is fun.
@@AlexMelton all I’m saying is that the crash and ride sound like they get lost in the mix and not in a good way. Sorry you can’t acknowledge something that’s not 100% positive.
@@TerryWhiskI think you know that the issue was never your opinion on my mix, moreso that your mindset leaves no room for the possibility that mixing (like all art) is subjective and you tried to bring objectivity where it didn’t belong. Your opinion is yours and valid, just like my opinion is mine and valid. And since I do the mixing, the cymbals are where I want them to be. It’s easy!
@@AlexMelton average Nashville musician. It’s not that deep man but whatever
Awesommmmmme
Absolutely killer arrangement dude. And the production is top notch on like, everything you upload. Keep it up by all means please
My hometown heroes, you did them justice. Thank you for this, it was incredibly well done!
They're playing two shows at first ave in July. And apparently it's been 17 years since Commit This To Memory came out. And almost 20 since I first fell in love with A-OK... And suddenly I'm feeling both very old and very nostalgic.
Gonna have to make it to at least one of those two shows.
@@Andy-up5fc MCS at First Ave is a fucking TREAT. They always bring the party when they play here at home. I might have to go to one of those nights.
Where are you located? Come out to our show (I'm opening) when we are in your town this summer.
The one man band. It all sounds great. Every song
Another cover by Alex that’s better than the original song!
I was a little apprehensive about how this one would sound, but by god it absolutely slaps.
Everything you put out tells me we lived the exact same childhood
I love it I love it I love it. Great work dude.
Yo Alex, just wanted to say I bought one of those Balaguer Espada guitars after seeing you use it in the previous video. Feels great, looks gorgeous (that roasted maple neck bro), and rips for a sub $1k guitar. Not sure if you're sponsored or get any kick back for this, but just wanted to let you know.
Cover was dope. Thanks for doing what you do
L.G.F.U.A.D is also one of my personal favorites by Motion City Soundtrack
Now this was a pleasant surprise. What a tune.
You should try playing this one a bit faster... Might end up being one of the greatest accomplishments of mankind. Jkjk, but this is one of my favoritest song of all time. You are so good at this. This one is on repeat all weekend
hot take but drummer alex is the best alex imo
halftime drums makes every song sound like Angels and Airwaves
Another flawless track
dude this is fucking fantastic
DUDE how do you keep picking all my favorite songs!!!!
Thank you SO MUCH ❤️💛💚 !! I love Justin Pierre and I love your channel 😭
If you would have played this at emo night in Greenville I would have LOST MY MIND
I thank you and God for this version to exist. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yea! Pop punking in a colored room! (Finn mckenty reference)
This sounds like MCS meets Dashboard. Amazing cover. Would love to hear some Midtown - like a movie.
I was searching for punk goes pop love song covers and I stumbled into your LOVE STORY COVER (TAYLOR SWIFT) --- and I have now subscribed!! Your covers are kinda nostalgic to me ^^
Thanks random Spotify recommendions yes love this song growing up
When Alex looks at the other alex's and the look says this is the breakdown I was imagining.
I super wanna know what your TD27 settings are because that kit sounds DOPE!!!
MLB The Show '06 soundtrack nostalgia
So MCS but easycore. I’m 100% down for that. I would’ve been obsessed back in the day like I already was with MCS.
Damn this cover slaps so hard... love the original but Alex's cover just chugs sooo dang well.
Dang can we get a link to those lights, king? 👑
You've easily become one of my top artist since I've found you. Thank you for making my days better with you extreme talent.
MN native here, loved Motion City Soundtrack, and the band that they helped produce Sing It Loud. Sing It Loud was the first ever real concert back at the old station 4 as young, dumb highschool kids
Dude, this is killer! But I have to know, what’s the guitar? Head stick seems very different. I’d guess it’s either Yamaha or Sire? Looks awesome!!!
