If Taylor Swift's 'Lover' Was An Emo Anthem 

I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED A GAY EMO ANTHEM

@@ranchocarnetoros😂😂😂

lol@@ranchocarnetoros

Are you... praising him for not being homophobic????

@@bananawammabama erm, literally no lmao? Some people change lyrics to suit their preferences and I liked that he kept the original. You made it about homophobia dude

it makes sense bc she was into emo music in her youth too lmao

Well, it would be 80% of her catalog lol

it's nowhere near that lol @@Morriefresh

@@Morriefreshgood one. original and never been heard before

@@jesseire666 no need to be upset, I'm a big swifty.

As a swemo I would be all over it, and there's already a solid body of work growing.

Yesssss 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

This needs to happen for sure

Please!!!!

I have to admit thar Taylor has really good songs with great melodies

That would be beyond epic

You Are In Love is one of my absolute favorites and I would LOVE to her it as pop-punk!

OH MY GOD, YES

This PLEASE

Ugh, *YES!*

I think crossovers like this are super valuable to help people recognize when they are hating something based purely on bias. Every genre of music has value and a deep history, and if you can see the parallels between the things you like and the things you hate on, that can be the crack to start to open up and appreciate a wider scope of music.

@@justincox225 100 percent. Friends have blind reacted to rock Taylor covers and when they comment on how good the lyrics are they are shocked that it's Taylor Swift (or some other non-rock musician). Also, it can sometimes take a bad song from an artist I like and "fix" it for me, like this one. Lover was always meh to me, but this is a banger when put in a different context.

I think she will. In her re-release of Speak Now she turned Better Than Revenge and Haunted into rock songs. And Reputation was always on the rock border. Rock adjacent if you will.

I love that you used my two favorite Taylor's album. Lover and Folklore ❤❤❤

Ryan Adams covered all of 1989 and it is well worth a listen. Taylor herself loves it.

Well written haha

taylor swift's covers lover detected😮

He should do love story ;)

@@johncostello4565(sorry if this went over my head) but he already did and it’s great

Same here!

The original is really good too though, you should give it at least one listen.

well you don't really need to, all you need to know for most taylor's songs are that they are emo lyrics without the actual emo instrumentals

Same thing with his “Closer” cover from the chainsmokers. I heard it today on the radio and I thought “wow this is really boring compared to Alex’s cover”

It’s a trap

12/8 makes more sense. I was counting in 6 and it felt wrong.

I don't think he's ever done any Alexisonfire.

@@andrewfrey4826 Overdue. @AlexMelton make it happen!

I agree, "Better Than Revenge" and "Story Of Us" are about two steps away from being Paramore songs. Which explains why I liked those songs so much when I first heard them!

Totally! And The Wonder Years all over it 🖤

Omg you’re so right! I love the Starting Line. I saw them back in 2005, almost 20 years ago holy cow lol

Haha it makes me think of like Whatsername at the end of American Idiot or Ordinary World at the end of Revolution Radio

Couldn’t agree more, It was so emo and so perfect

Omg, The Lakes would be a great one!

After reading your comment, there will forever be a piece of me that needs that to exist.

YES

Facts. When bands like Thrice or Yellowcard get into their 6/8 it's always a highlight.

Thank you! It’s my first time experimenting with DADGAD

@@AlexMelton fantastic! DADGAD's one of my favorites

His TBS sounds better than TBS. It’s my favorite Alex
