      You may have just missed it, but it was incredibly viral 11 years ago. Everyone in my highschool tried doing some form of it for talent shows/group presentations. 😂
      As to why you're seeing it now, UA-cam works funny that way. Maybe a couple of people revisited this video a few years/months back in memory of the band's bassist (bearded guy), and that caused UA-cam to recommend it to the general newsfeed.
      The continuous wave of new views, likes, and comments then keeps it relevant in people's recommendations.
      So you may have missed it when it came out, but at least its given a second chance and you're able to witness this amazing performance. ❤

      1. The vocals are clearly pitch corrected. To do that you need an isolated vocal track, which is impossible to record the way the video shows because the mics would pick up the guitar as well.
      2. They are singing too far away from the mic to sound like that. The vocals would have more reverb if they were really that far away.
      3. Look at her right hand. Picking that lightly would not produce an attack that sharp on those chords.
      4. Multiple fingering mistakes by the guy playing the melody. At 2:04 he is fingering the 3rd fret but you can hear the 5th being played.
      This is a cool idea and they are probably able to perform this, but this audio was not recorded as this video makes it out to be. I play the guitar and have some experience recording. How about you?

      His job is actually pretty difficult. He has to hit the notes at the exact right time with long pauses in between (meaning its harder to time), he has to make sure they don't ring too long and sound out of tune, and the end of the guitar strings are sticking out there and they well cut you like a mofo.

      @@nellekx I'd suggest that "most musicians can do this" is a bit of a stretch. Lots of musicians can, but there's also a huge amount of vocalists who only play when they are not singing, or only sing when the instrument's rhythm matches the song's cadence. I think the majority of musicians fall into the same camp as me. There are certain songs I can happily sing over whilst there are others where the guitar part and the vocals are so rhythmically detached that it's still impossible.

    Now and then I think of when we were together
    Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
    Told myself that you were right for me
    But felt so lonely in your company
    But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
    You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
    Like resignation to the end, always the end
    So when we found that we could not make sense
    Well, you said that we would still be friends
    But I'll admit that I was glad it was over
    But you didn't have to cut me off
    Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
    And I don't even need your love
    But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
    No, you didn't have to stoop so low
    Have your friends collect your records
    And then change your number
    I guess that I don't need that though
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Now and then, I think of all the times you screwed me over
    But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
    But I don't wanna live that way
    Reading into every word you say
    You said that you could let it go
    And I wouldn't catch, you hung up on
    Somebody that you used to know
    But you didn't have to cut me off
    Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
    And I don't even need your love
    But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
    And you didn't have to stoop so low
    Have your friends collect your records
    And then change your number
    I guess that I don't need that though
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Somebody (I used to know)
    Somebody (Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

    Great performance but above all another testament to the sheer genius arrangement and writing in this song. A true pop masterpiece.

    This is amazing. The amount of connectivity you have to have with each other here is ridiculous. So cool.

      Mostly cause the guy in the original has a really annoying voice.

      Wait a minute, this is not the only one that's as good or better than the original. Listen to Johnny Cash's version of hurt. Or disturbs version of The sound of silence. Then check out Warren Haynes version of U2's song one. I think you'll find masterpieces in those three. And those are only off the top of my head.

    I'm so glad this popped up here. I've been thinking about this. Still the pinnacle of talent for a cover, even 10 years later.

    I love and admire artists who don't just copy. Having the idea for it is unique, arranging it accordingly is artistically challenging and making it look and sound so easy shows that all 5 are excellent musicians. At least 3 of them are also top singers. A masterpiece.
