If Coldplay's 'Fix You' Was An Emo Anthem

I had a lot of fun keeping the core elements of this song intact this week, just expanding the instrumentation and just going with the flow of what the song felt like it needed. Sometimes, simple is best - and nobody proves that better than Chris Martin and Co. Powerful, singable, and honest. Great job, fellas.

I like how all the band members look like they get on with each other

[ChromaJune]

The whole production is incredible but your drums are absolutely MERCILESSLY good.

[TheSalPic]

Who saw this on Spotify this morning already!? This guy! listened all the way to work!

[hullcameron]

Dropping the bass out of the second verse was the perfect decision. I love this song sooo much & this rocks!

[livinginbuckeyearizona]

The drummer, bassist, vocals…this band is out together perfectly

[hannahl.]

The vowel placements are so immaculate. Love this version

[joeipp]

Some days, you just need a song like this to pick you up. Outstanding

[cameronneal]

I can't listen to this right now, but I'm hoping someone will remind me to listen later.

[Kashmirea]

Such Balance and Composure style vibes… 😭😭❤️ Best. Ever.

[landocommando]

The lights keep guiding me back to Alex Melton!

[briandear]

Holy sh*t that was surprising. It was waiting for the punchline during the first verse, but then the track just went supersonic epic. A masterpiece.

[basinggerzi]

The paramore influence is strong! Love this.

[ITHL-online]

It`s just awesome, man! Incredible! What I like the most is that you show respect to the original, and then you transfer really every instrument to your unique style. The vocals really kill it at the end of the song. Man! Wow!!!

[tylercox]

Dude this is an absolute masterpiece. The passion you have to create a cover and make it @Alex Melton’s version with every one of your songs is beautiful. It’s been a pleasure to watch your journey over the years. Every aspect here is perfect.

[simonjakobsson]

Jesus this sent me back in a way I didn't expect...

[Elskavon]

all angles and emotions of my high school + college years swelling at the moment. it hurts. and it's beautiful. well done.

[ryansexton]

Instantly one of your best covers Alex, and that’s saying SOMETHING

[rianelliott]

You know how there are great songwriters that sell their stuff to popular artists? You should go to those artists and tell them how to make their songs better. I never liked Coldplay, but this hits.

[mikemoon]

This is what happens when dedication, talent and emotion combine. I am blown away at how most of Alex's music is better than the original.

[TheGrifCannon]

This just hits so much harder than the original. This just breathes new life, and a beautiful melancholy, into a pretty stale Coldplay track.
