    Lyrics
    Gotye- Somebody That I Use To Know
    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
    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
    Somebody (I used to know)
    (Somebody) 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
    I used to know, that I used to know, I used to know somebody

    Just saw a reupload of this and came to find and support the originals! This is incredible!
    Also, as an adult now this song hits different… having an ex is one thing, or hate and anger is another… but apathy and being “somebody that you used to know” is just… sad. Apathy hits harder than hate. Nothing hurts worse than knowing that someone doesn’t even care enough to hate you. Damn.

    How on earth can you have so many "lead vocalist" quality vocalists in one band. Amazing. First guy reminds me of my favorite The Eels tracks. The third singer brings back memories of listening to Paramore. Second guy has a so soulful, almost Sting / Police quality. I hope those are complimentary, I love all your voices and this cover so much.

    thing is you know, i have never seen anyone but them that does cover songs so flawlessly; never disrespecting the song by trying to stand out too much than the original, yet while also adding their very own unique character and artistry to it.
    and I'm saying this after years and years of watching so many that does the same covering as them. they're all very talented, yes ofc, but there's something special about this group that separates them from the rest that even if a decade had passed, you'd still remember it.

After the show all they talked about ( and again last weekend when the sad news broke on local and national Canadian news) was that they had touched the " Beard Guy" ....so very sad...but my kids will remember that night in Burlington long after I'm gone and the rest of their lives for sure.

Everything is perfect: the ensemble, the way they play, the way they sing, the coordination, the fact that they are onto each other but never hit arms or fingers, that they are all wearing black, that they are very respectful of the song, that they are all good looking but they are not estheticizing the performance, that there are no frills or BS to distract from their act. It's SUPERB!
