- Such a classic song! I've been wanting to put the Mark Tom and Travis spin on it for a while, and I got a chance to pay homage to the road/car theme of the original video with my Mini!

Lyrics:
If Iyghe could faughel
intue the skyghe,
do yue think toighme
would pass me byghe
Laughed so hard 😂.
I can hear it in tom's voice
Lol
I fukn lost it
Excellent
Need an album called "If I Blink" for all these covers, I'd buy in a second. You rock man!
More like "everybody blinks"
Same!
I like how each individual word represents Alex. "If" representing "if Blink covered___", "I" being that it is Alex, not Mark (but just barely), and "Blink" being the obvious. Brilliant album naming.
Sidenote: Spokane was one of my favorite stops when I was touring with RBBB!
Don't forget the long awaited follow up album, "Marcus Hoppus Invictus"!
How about "I, Blink" ?
“If I could just see you….to-noight” brilliant. That’s peak DeLonge right there 😂
“If I could just see you….smile
if could fall? into the SKYEEEEEEEEEEEh
Idk. Sounds like he’s making him sound Scottish or something. It’s weird. This cover is a weird one to me. However, when he did “no scrubs” was good. IMO. I don’t think he can do Tom very well but mark is pretty good.
MOILS
@@inlovewithbusted he's got a good mark for sure. Tom is overexaggerated
I don't think people really understand how much talent this guy has. Not to mention he does it all himself AND does the video AND the audio production is always top notch. Dude has to put in 90 hour weeks.
That's what I'm saying bro! This guys re-writing / arranging and production level of the music alone is absolute madness. It melts my brain.
@@joshuasayler201 That must be why he is Alex Melt-on 🤣
@@ashleyv.c.7290 Haaaaaa! I see what you did there.
Praying for Mark, forever and always.
If anyone can beat it, it's him!
We love you Mark 😭
Parachute?
@@johnyanosick2085 big C.
@@mattisland Definitely need an album called "I Just Beat It" or something really innuendo after he gets out of it. That'd be so great.
It's like every song slaps harder when it's in the style of Blink.
it's why power metal and pop-punk are my favorite genres. :D
It's like they should just do cover albums between originals
Right?!!!!! Blink Always and forever
all the fucking time dude
Turns out the junior high version of myself is alive and well, and depressed as ever.
I love how he incorporates actual blink-182 riffs and patterns like the “Down” opener.
This cover just proves that Blink-182 created such a unique sound and that they were pure musical genius. Nothing gets me going like some fast Blink songs. Dude Ranch? Cheshire Cat? Friggin magnificent
Peggy Sue hits on such a deeper level for me now I'm an adult and realise that my parents actually are full of shit.
travis barker create a unique sound
Have you heard one ok rock's version of a thousand miles? It's pretty dope too😊
@@samuelepratesi1116 not only Travis but Tom and Marks vocals too and Toms riffs can be easily recognised, it's all three of them that blink unique.
What if Blink 182 wrote 'Save Tonight' by Eagle-Eye Cherry 🙏🙏🙏
Say T'noi
Yaaas
“Foight the break of dyawwwwn”
Make this happen. Please...
Just commenting so this gets bumped up👍
This man filmed a whole video with himself standing on a pallet, ratchet strapped to his roof rack, and used a drone to film the whole thing.. THIS MAN IS A GENIUS
strapped to his roof rack on a mini lol
Good point! It’s just shot changes every 3 seconds the entire video.
No drumset though for shame
SO glad you made this comment do I didn't have to, lol.
i noticed the drone remote by his feet. I'm impressed. Genius.
Every aspect of this is pure genius. From the pallet stages, the sweeping shots, that sunset... the way he said "toime"... flawless execution.
His version of Tom's vocals sounds like The Proclaimers doing 500 miles! An unintentionally cool mashup! 😅
My other favourite song about someone who would 1000 miles to meet someone else
@@bobmcguffin5706 Definitely top 2!
Speaking of 500 Miles mashups czcams.com/video/4p7Ox5diilg/video.html ✌
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hears a bit of Scottish in some words like "pass" in "pass me by"
I'm getting weird, mixed nostalgia right now.
I felt that too!!! I couldn't figure out how to describe it. But that's it. Weird mixed nostalgia.
Yes!
THIS MUST HAPPEN
Best one yet!! 🔥🔥🤘
Yeah
Tom Delonge's vocal accent plus Mark Hoppus' voice texture is a mixture that I never knew I needed 🔥🎶💯
He mixes both of thier singing styles so well.
It now must be made illegal for the likes on this comment to exceed 182 likes. I just pushed the number up to 182! 😆
@@joelcrooker2907 Dang man! That's so cooool 💯
Love how the opening chord and strum pattern is so reminiscent of "Down" by Blink-182. Funny little nod.
It’s reminiscent of a few other songs
Its a slower version of "Everytime I Look For You"
@@death-by-ego yes
This is like getting a brand new Blink album. You have captured their sound perfectly. This could've been on take off your pants and jacket
If that intro riff doesnt make your brain add a bass hit to it and then your brain begins reciting the lyrics to "Everytime I Look For You", then i dont know what to tell you.
I really hope someone in the neighborhood below was like "why is there a guy playing guitar on a pallet strapped to his mini? Did he just change his clothes?"
I legit thought this was 2 different dudes! 😅😅
If he goes any direct covers of Enema of the State era, he won't need clothes at all lol
That's your only take away? we're fucked
@@danlebron2610 that’s his opinion my dude, we’re all entitled too one. Without opinion, nothing would ever begin, change or end. You’re entitled to your opinion too but it’s a shame you chose to use it to drag somebody down. Stay safe 🤜🏻🤛
@@danlebron2610 Not his only takeaway, just a single clever joke. Meanwhile, your only contribution is hate and negativity. Fix your outlook
This sounds like it would fit in Tony Hawk Underground.
YES TONY HAWK UNDERGROUND!
The best game ever!!!
Hell yes!
That's exactly what I was gonna comment😂😂
more like it sounds like it would fit on blink 182 untitled record (2003). if it had a more dude ranch sound, tony hawk underground yea
Haha, my punk band did this cover 20 years ago too! Always loved the melody for this jam and thought it would sound dope as punk/pop punk...your version is ridiculously awesome!
Post it on ur channel if u have an audio rip
Lol the way he sings the chorus and says “skyyyy” is pure gold xD
This is incredible. Just need an "If Blink 182 Wrote..." album. Have to be pretty close.
Please!
@@Henrique.Souza0601 omg this x a million
SAME!!!
if this happened... Dude just take my money!
Yes!!!
Please keep doing more "If Blink wrote.."
You don't understand how much we need more of your brilliant Tom impression.
flipping between mark and toms voice in this song is soo good xD
love the visuals, such a cool video concept, the pallet on the mini, the filming with a drone, the music is good too but seriously impressed with the video! Good job dude!!
Never clicked so fast. This was awesome! Also...prayers to Mark Hoppus in his battle with cancer!
I hope he sees this video and know we're all here for him.
I swear my heart grows three sizes each time I hear a Blink rendition.
Thats called cardiomyopathy, its very dangerous
Hello, Mr. Grinch!
Making my way downtown
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
It's always times like these when I think of you
And wonder if you ever think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong, and I don't belong
Living in your precious memory
'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
Oh, 'cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
And I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this go
I, I don't
Making my way downtown
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead, just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, oh-oh
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you tonight
This sounds more like a Blink song than actual Blink songs.
Dude, those birds flying by at 3:00 was fucking sickkk
The timing was right 😁
Literally perfect
Looked like bats to me.... he might be batman... batman would love blink 182...
ah yes the classic pallet on top of the mini
The beginning sounded like mark hoppus... and then the tom impression with the "tonoight"... awesome job I love this!!!
Eff öy cuud faūll entuu the skøii
Deů yew thěnk TØIME wud pāās me boyəë
Congrats on the “Translate to English” option beneath your comment 😂
Underrated comment of the day.
Amazing as always! my suggestion - If Blink 182 wrote Iris by the Goo Goo dolls :D
Probably sounds like "I miss you" 😄
There is "Iris" by New Found Glory ❤️
@@tammy-42 yeah I love that cover aswell
I’d totally buy a “if blink 182 wrote…” album 💯
Omg the fact that you're on a pallet on the roof of your car... A cut shot of the car pulling up on the roof and you climbing up would be the cherry on top!
Massively impressed. Honestly when I saw the name of the video I wasn't expecting this. Definitely going to check the rest of your stuff out. Thanks for this.
Nailed Tom’s pirate sounding voice
Lmao thats one way to describe his voice
This comment is everything LOL
His Mark is really good too
Lmao pirate😂
0.o never thought about it that way...
These "If Blink" songs seem to end too soon. I don't want to stop listening. Keep it up!
I feel ya!!!! THEY R EVERYTHING OMG
To be fair, a lot of Blink-182 songs also end really quickly.
The "Na na na" parts hit just right in that little breakdown. *chefs kiss*
I hear Biffy Clyro vocals, especially when he sings 'sky.' sounds sooo good.
how you can sound perfectly like both Mark and Tom is amazed me.
@ghost mall Seems to me like you've forgotten he always sounded like a cartoon character.
“Would pass me by” at 0:40 is perfect.
100% agreed. Cracked up laughing at that.
do you mean "wood pas mibay"
i had to replay it instantly it was so good haha
tonaight
The elongated byeeeeee cracked me up but it's so good. Really distinct!
The "na-na-na" backing vocals in the bridge are underrated gems
Today I just found this channel and want to say I’m going through your entire back catalogue and having some serious nostalgia hits, especially with the blink stuff.
My god, you’re talented. 👏👏👏
There's 4 guarantees in life. Life, death, taxes & Melton releasing banger cover after banger cover
Engagement!
Plus thoughts with Hoppus and his people.
An amazing cover, as always, impossible for you to produce back music.
What a beauty!!!!!!!! 😇😇.... Both Blink-182 & Vanessa Carlton would be proud of this masterpiece!!!!
You even nailed the stage mannerisms of both Mark and Tom
Guys that’s my real accent, idk what you’re talking about. Who’s Tom? Is he even in Blink 182?
yes
Hey man...what brand and fit are those pants?
@@thomasreitz1419 American Eagle skinny!
@@AlexMeltonholy shit, you responded! Thanks man!
Your song choices for blink covers are always👌
I heard that intro and my brain automatically started to go "never found out why you left, but this answer begs the question. Too blind to see tomorrow, too broke to beg or borrow."
Congrats on hitting 200k subs great channel!
Thank you for this amazing comment through Our Lord Jesus Christ in His Holy Name Amen.
Dude, your impressions of Mark and Tom are so dead accurate that it's kinda scary 😂
Excellent cover and performance as usual 🤙
Keep up the good work!
getting some real mileage on that drone.
How similar you can sound to Mark Hoppus is amazing and also kinda eerie lol but overall I love it and your covers
Also adoring that spot on DeLonge enunciation 😂
These interpretations a so well done! Everything's on point - harmonies, breaks, fills, drums, shred and vocals. Nice.
I'm slowly replacing all of the songs in my playlists with Alex Melton versions.
Same lmfaoo
i heard blink sounding stuff, saw a mini
thought of all the smal things
then thought of a parody where some dude drives a huge truck and jumps out and he's actually really short, so are all of his friends
this is my brain
Ridiculously accurate! We need more Blink covers! From South Africa with love.
absolutely love these covers man. you are wicked talented!
This makes me want to hop into a red convertible with the top down while I do the wave thing with my hand through the wind while wearing DC Shoes and a Famous Stars and Straps shirt.
I’m sure there’s a part of Alex that doesn’t want to be “The Blink Guy” but I’m also sure there’s a part of Alex that wants to retire after the sales from his “If Blink Wrote” full length album series 😂😂😂
You absolutely nail blinks style and I cant get enough of your versions of these great songs. Dont ever stop. You are amazing bro
Wow bro, so this vid came across my feed-love it, fuckin dope-so i went to your channel to check out more…and then i had to come racing back here and do a double take cuz the first time I literally didn’t realize you were both parts, literally thought it was two different people. Dude, that’s fuckin somethin. You’re dope man, glad i found you 🤙
If this was halo he would be killtacular because he just doesn’t miss
The key to every blink cover “NA NA NA, NA NA NA.”
A.C.A.B.
This is the cover I did not know I needed. It is a great song and I really like your take on it.
How am I only finding these now , DUDE WTF your incredible
This is gonna be on repeat all summer
This is everything I didn't know I needed today.
Perfect timing, Alex.
yes. and we all know today!
Edit: Checked your channel. Subbed. Stellar work. I am in awe.
Randomly suggested on my feed. One of the best ones.
I can't get over how good this is. Been listening like daily since upload. I don't rly sub music channels on yt but you getting one from me man, I want more of this.
sounds more like the starting line or yellowcard with tom vocals
could also be knuckle puck with tom vocals too ahahah
or just blink.
Yea the music doesn’t sound like blink at all
i think if he used different drum samples it would of been better. the kick is just to punchy.
I like Yellowcard
You honestly astound me, every single time. You absolutely nail the style down to its smallest nuance.
I'm a multi-instrumentalist, and I don't even know HOW you do what you do, let alone am able to DO it.
Keep doing your thing!
Loving the toom style vocals. Very well done
I love that the world is full of such talented and passionate people.. awesome work!
“time” at 00:38 is a perfect Tom impression. Reminds me of Tom in AVA’s song “The War”
Your talent is insane man. I grew up in the early 2000s and these covers really hit the spot. Keep on doing your thing, I see great things happening for you.
So refreshing and pleasantly reminded me to the younger version of me..thanks and keep doing it please!
Man you dont stop amazing me how good these songs are.
The best thing that happened to me in 2021 was discovering you!! Every new song/video you post IS THE BEST!
This is awesome.
Next, if blink wrote Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta
Man, this is the best Mini Cooper ad I've seen in a LOOONG while
Dude these are awesome!!! Well done
I’m a millennial with a nostalgia problem. Keep feeding please.
Same here buddy, we need nostalgia to face the grim reality of getting older.
OH
@@MichaelWilliams-ki9kg IO
Thanks for describing my life 😂
Alex's content is like a drug that turns me into a depressed 14 year old again... in a good way.
Why is this so fucking good? Holy shit, dude. Great job
Great work!
I NEEDED THIS TODAY, thank you
Great work Alex! Keep em coming brother!
Love the song, love the cover, and love the new video style!
You nail these songs everytime. Amazing!!!
You're awesome man. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. You're an extremely talented musician, I'm your fan.
such good musical arrangement, really cool spin on the song.
For some real commitment I would have like to have seen a full drum set on the mini cooper. I mean she went through the trouble of putting a whole piano on a truck, never mind the fact that she had a production budget or that mini coop is your own personal vehicle. keep up the great work man!
INCREIBLE HERMANO! DESCUBRI TU TRABAJO HACE POCO Y NO PUEDO DEJAR DE ESCUCHARLO! TE FELICITO!
This is the most late-90's/early-00's thing I have ever heard, and I love it.
You've made another BANGER, holy hell--
Dude you are so mad talented!! I feel like the old blink is still alive through your music and I love it!! ❤️
Clicked on your Wonderwall cover the other day. Today this shows up on my feed. Now I’m subscribed. Deadly 🤟🏻
the start sounds like "down" intro,then "TOYME" reminds me of tom in "i miss you" 🤣
great job! 🤟
This is an impeccable cover of Blink 182 (even for a song they didn't perform). Awesome job, love it!
