“Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye
Arranged and Performed by Hildegard von Blingin, featuring Friar Funk
Well met, strangers, and ever so glad to see you, old friends! Here's a banger from 8 years ago, but like you've never heard it before.
I’m trying my very best to put out a song once a week while your interest in Bardcore continues, and will continue to do so for as long as I can. Your support sustains me, I really mean that. I'm slowly making some moves towards getting this music on Spotify, so hang tight on that front. I'm also hoping to get some instrumental versions up for use as karaoke tracks or background music for gaming.
The art used is a modified image from the Tacuinum Sanitatis.
Lyrics:
Now and then I think of when we were together
Eros surely hit the apple of mine eye
I believed thou wert right for me,
but felt so lonely in thy company
But that was love and ‘tis an ache I still remember
One becomes enamoured with a certain kind of sadness
This resignation to the end, ever the end
When we found we could not make amends
Thou declared we would e’er be friends
But I concede that I was fain to be parted
Was there cause to cast me off?
Act as though it never happened and that we were nothing
In sooth I do need thy love
But thou makest me a stranger and that feels so rough
Hadst thou need to stoop so low?
To send a wagon for thy minstrel and refuse my letters
I need no longer write them, though
Now thou art somebody whom I used to know
I lament the many times that thou impugn’d my honour
But maintained it was ever something I had done
No more shall I live that way
Uncertain what thy words bewray
Thou said that if I were to go
I would not find thee pining for somebody whom thou used to know
Was there cause to cast me off?
Act as if it never happened and that we were nothing
I do not even need thy love
But thou makest me stranger and that feels so rough
Hadst thou need to stoop so low
To send a wagon for thy minstrel and refuse my letters
I need no longer write them, though
For now thou art somebody whom I used to know
Now thou art somebody whom I used to know

Why is this the best version of this song I've ever heard?
Because it is!!
Now Gotye is just some artist we used to know.
Right??
It totally is!!! This is SO good! I was so sick of this song too, but this makes it worth listening to.
This is excellent 👌 😅
I remember back in 1471 when my beau would sing this lovely song to me, he was the love and joy of my life. He’s long gone and this song was nearly lost in my memory, and Gotye and Kimbra’s cover brought me back here, nothing beats the classics.

Her voice was so enchanting...so after this song we burned her at the stake.

I don't believe what I just heard. I could never have imagined this song could be more beautiful but here it is.
Every single changed line is better in the original 15th century English. Every. Single One. Not that Gotye's 2011 remake isn't a great song in its own right, but modern English just doesn't have the same flow.
* "enamoured with a certain kind of sadness" vs. "addicted to..."

* "would not find thee pining for" vs. "wouldn't catch you hung up on"

I was wondering the same. Some are joking, pretending this medieval version came before Gotye's hit. But I think this person might have believed the jokes. Or else I am mistaken about Gotye creating that perfect song from scratch himself... @@geraldzano142

"To send a wagon for thy minstel and refuse my letters" best line ever.
I almost shrieked when that part came up!
I screamdt
Lyrical genius.
Seriously
Forsooth!
"To send a wagon for thy minstrel and refuse my letters" hit so hard.
"To collect thy minstrel" has me dead, someone needs to make this a sketch
“To send a wagon for thy minstrel and refuse my letters.”
Extremely clever lyrics given the age which the song is set.
I love the implication that this minstrel's just been hanging out and is too awkward to ask to leave.
Writing this rearrangement must be a different kind of puzzle because you have to fit modern context into age old ones. Brilliant.
Read that as soon as she sang it.
This was the best part.
Our music is evolving backwards and I like it
I'm okay with that.
I’m VIBING
And that is refreshing!!😉
Backwards? 😎
It's devolving (≧∇≦)
Damn... this truly is a "timeless" song. I've earwormed the heck out with the normal and the 80's versions, and now this banger...
This is a masterpiece on so many levels! Lyrics, divine voice, that magical flute... It's heartbreakingly beautiful.
Okay guys, here's the plan. If we ever get trapped in medieval times, and we're looking for other time travellers to help us get back, we start singing this.
Yes, but we might need a back up plan.
@@whiteflame0713 Ye I'm an alto and could never.
Yes, if the other travellers is a good person.., if not we can get killed by them
@@RoninAround_ hm. True, true..
Great plan!!!
The lyric “Was there cause to cast me off?” really hits different
Did you really have to cut me off: hmm, sad
Was there cause to cast me off: alas, fair maid, shouldst thou deny me, shouldst I but pierce mine heart with mine blade
I feel the same about "i need no longer write them, though".
This hits harder as that hits me
and that shift during the "no more shall i live that way"
Hits hits for sure
This is unironically beautiful in a tearjerking way.
Love the interchange of words, tis nectar to thy ears
Jokes aside, the singers have the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.
She sounds just like Kimbra and he sounds just like Josh Groban. Can bardcore become the next thing?
Agreed! Voice of an angel
Absolutely! Pure joy to listen.
She sounds like a grandma to me, how's that beautiful lmao
Aight what kinda grandma has this range?? 😂
She is the Queen of Bardcore. No one beating her covers
SHE IS BARDCORE BEYONCE.
Agreed (≧▽≦)
@@MrMagikBananas You're calling her trash?
Her voice is beautiful and she actually has a grasp of music theory, and her lyrics actually make sense. Everyone seems to think that medieval people communicated with a bunch of garbled nonsense where they just tried to express everything in the most complex way possible.
Actually this is the best cover ever:
ua-cam.com/video/zJB_74Xl9aw/v-deo.html
Somehow through the magic of UA-cam, Hildegard Von Blingin popped into my feed. The cover reminded me of the original, and I realized this was written in 1411, and was covered by Gotye and Kimbra. I didn't think it was impossible to fall in love with voice, but here we are.
I already knew the 2011 version was a cover of the '80s hit, but I hadn't realized even that was a remake of a fifteenth century classic.
"I need not longer wrote them though"
Ay! I had not cause to expect such heartache from thys
Next, we need “Somebody come fetch yonder maiden, she’s dancing like a harlot”
!!!
IM CRYING AND I LOVE THAT I GET THIS
somebody come fetch her, she's acting like a harlot!
Thesortvokter - I doesn’t break. It’s just a bit of “breathy” delivery if anything.
I cant omfg 😂🤣😂
"Refuse my letters" sounds a billion times better than change your number
it does
In the context of medieval time it should be heralds, though.
Really a lot of these lyrics hit different this way for some reason
Like an arrow in thy knee
So cute
I love stuff like this and orchestral pop songs- who’s to say they didn’t rock and jam in their own way before recordings?
How am I just hearing this?! Absolutely beautiful

"I lament the many times that thou impugned my honour"
I feel that brother.
I love that part
...for i am hardened and my honor is found in shambles
This and “was there cause to cast me off” along with “refuse my letters” and obviously “now thou art somebody I used to know”
I rarely giggle
BUT...
Aye, tis true.
I would love to see a medieval music video of this song.
The minstrel on the wagon ;)
"Was there cause to cast me off?" That hit deeper than the original lyrics
For real
indeed
Trueee
True
more archaic english words/vocabulary really hit in a different way. i feel like it's so much more expressive and able to convey deeper feelings. it's why i love reading Shakespeare and older works of literature. the language and wordplay are so good at evoking emotions and feelings. every word has purpose behind it
When quarantine hits you nostalgia SO hard that you went back to medieval times

@@kaiju2296 Technically, it would work either way, but the first dozen or so times I heard it, the roles were reversed. So it's distracting.
Love the channel name. And why did it take UA-cam so long to show me this?! Absolutely lovely!
I know I'm very late to the party here, but I had to drop by to celebrate and congratulate you all on this incredible cover. I already loved the original song, and this transliteration -- both musically and especially lyrically -- is quite possibly even more lovable 😀. It was also fun to imagine small bard troupes performing this in a crowded tavern 😂. Lovely work; thank you so much.

Btw "ye" is just "the/thee". There used to be a letter known as "þ" in Old English and other old languages which was pronounced with the "th" sound. Sadly, since the printing presses that were commonly used in the old days used mainly the German alphabet, they either wrote "the/thee" or shortened it to "ye" in order to save ink as a result. Sorry for this random tangent, but I haven't slept in 2 days and thought I'd share this knowledge. Oh and þ is still used in Icelandic for some reason.
@@ranpo_edogawa so is thou
Radio no, that’s a common misconception, you and ye were very much words in middle and old English. You and ye was originally the plural form of thou and thee, and also the term you would use to formally address people of higher rank than you socially, such as your boss, parents, priests, or the king. This is a trait in many languages such as French, Arabic, Hindustani etc.
Meaning that the original commenter is not wrong in their use of ye, it’s completely fine.
This slowly withered away in modern English possibly due to various contending hypotheses, but it survives in a distinct form in northern England. Nowadays we can say either yous or you lot in Britain or y’all in America, this repluralisation is also a trait in some other languages, such as most East Indo Aryan languages like Bengali and Assamese and currently occurring in Dutch and eastern Hindi dialects.
Now, you’re not wrong about the letter thorn, which was used interchangeably with the letter ð to represent “th” voiced or not. But since thorn survived longer than ð, and since it orthographically looked like the letter y, it was often replaced with it, as English was very far of from being standardized. And so the world “the” was written “ye” our of both laziness to keep consistency as well as to be economic with ink use on printers, which is why pretty much the only example of this is on store signs, take for example “ye old tavern”. This ye, was never pronounced as ye, the other, proper ye, was.
Sorry for wasting your time, have a nice day.

I really, really love your voice. Crystal clear with the slightest touch of vibrato in exactly the right place. Some of the songs you sing are so beautiful listening is almost physically painful (I'm thinking especially of Gone with the Wind, but it's far from the only one). If I can sing half as well as you one day, I'll be thrilled.
