This song hits so different now.
Fr
Why?
Cause he's just somebody that we used to know
@@colossalproductionsmeme4906 what did he do?
@@zupaman4738 search Gotye on youtube. He was gone for 8-9 years, but now he uploaded 5 months ago.
"you can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness" kinda hits hard man
Exactly! Thanks
SO TRUE...so true....soooo true
Reading the captions, after hearing this song 1000 times, those lyrics screamed to me! This song- lyrically and musically is amazing
5 years later I think I should move on from my ex lol...
@@zh2266 5 YEARS holy crap
holy shit - I legit like this way better than the original. Her voice is hypnotic
When they harmonize it is so beautiful. I am genuinely grateful I was alive to experience this
When she hits the “know” at the end, she like layers it down as he joins in, absolute master piece
This dude literally put out an absolute banger and then just dipped
Now he's just somebody that we used to know
@@crazy_fisch_xd4663 Oh shit thats a good one
@@crazy_fisch_xd4663 yeah right 😂
@@crazy_fisch_xd4663 I see what you did there. I like it.

Yaaay the Same joke for the 7647574th time again
So funi 😐
Why does it sound better with out the instrumental? They hit the hymn and had me transcend
Because the music is pretty basic and meh. It's their (and especially her) voices that were amazing
If you listen to it super loud, it's AMAZING with or without music.
@@aaronpaul9188 Man, this song has many instruments with different rithms, tones and melody. The harmony is basic, but still pretty good.
@@SuperIperMegaTriper Yeah, I agree, the instrumentation is great. But I think both of them have incredible voices, especially Gotye.
Because
They can sing amazingly
The instrumental is literally just the chords (which don’t get me wrong still sounds good but it just makes it so it shines just as much as the voices, and with their talent, the vocals don’t depend on the instrumental and viceversa)
The song’s tone really fits with the almost echoing background of the acapella, it has to do with the feeling it brings
Oh and also the oohs by Kimbra in the second chorus, they are just as good as having instruments, her vocals are amazing, and so is Gotye’s, especially with the chorus
1:31 i love how when she starts her vocals it seems like her hands are doing this motion of controlling a fire ball, so much power in her voice that she has to tame it.
It looks like she's making an imaginary sandwich to me.
@@ryank2780 same 😂
She went full Ricky Bobby there
its not that deep bro chill 💀💀
So isses!
2:00 heavenly moment right here
😇
indeed
Музыка нас объединяет... Мы такие разные, но такие одинаковые...
Kimbra's part is so small but so incredibly powerful. I get demolished when she hits the last line in her verse followed by the "oh's"...so amazing.
Just the absolute perfect addition to this song.
She ruined the song she is a terrible singer with that annoying voice
@@TannerGoated bruh why even comment then. Completely unnecessary

He's not in Australia, he has an array of albums that were really popular before this came out :) I'd recommend listening to his Like Drawing Blood album, one of my favs of all time
He'd won multiple awards before this came out, there's an interesting short documentary on him!
I really didn't appreciate this song when I was younger. Now it's a fucken classic. Amazing.
Same here
Damn same
Word
We were little children back then with few explored music genres, so when we discovered a new one we instantly rejected it. It happened to me too with this song!
Same here
Imagine creating such a good song you can go acapella and it sounds just as amazing 👏
The audio Is from original track.
Absolutely,song is too good
you do realise that all songs are recorded this way, and then arranged/edited by the producer
0:58 Perfect High Notes 🔥
Where Kimbra sings “used to know” at 2:00, the distortion adds SO much to the song. It sounds so good.
Yess broo!

@@reedrazor7546 🤦🏻♂️
You know a song is truly legendary when YEARS later people not only still adore
But begin to truly understand,still appreciate,love,relate to, and feel to every single time they listen to it….
For the ones who still ask where Gotye is, the answer is easy: He still plays music with his band "The Basics" as drummer-singer, they also perform songs like this one or Heart a Mess (Both from Gotye as single).
So thats it, i higly recommend his other works and to take a look at his band, they are pretty good actually. We still hope he keep on producing his own music, but nowadays there is no notice of any new album or something like that.
Love this man! 🙌🏼
Thank you.
*Bruh she got the voice of an angel*
The voice? That woman was sent down from heaven to show us that they are real
Kimbra is freaking ridiculous with her vocals. CZcams.com/watch?v=sd7GLvMYSHI
I loved you in Garfield.
@@mahreeohhhh I love you too
True true
For fucks sake she sings so damn beautifully, I can’t stop replaying. they both did such an amazing job filling this duet with pure emotion
i really wish i made that playlist with just this song in it but didn't realise ill go back and click the replay button like 63 hundred times.
Fkn same, I've replayed it at least 10 times already and I didnt even think about it
@@ericchow4147 what’s her name?
Yeah, sad that this record from the video is not original audio recored to this video
100% agreed. Beautiful voices and so much power. It is incredible. 👍🏻
You don't realise how good these two are until you hear it without music.
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)
Somebody (I used to know)
Somebody (Now you're just somebody that I used to know)
This came out when I was a teen. Then I liked the tune, didn’t really listen or understand the words. Now I understand the words well and I love the song for its bitter sweet sense. Though does bring up some painful memories tbh.
no this came out in 1988

This is seriously unreal. The clarity and control of their voices on such high tech equipment. Every sylable so perfectly placed. You can feel the emotion. I love it. ❤
Especially when you listen to it on headphones 🎧 magic!
And a pinch if autotune
@@dinmamma1577 nah
@@dinmamma1577 no autotune just some effects
@@micromot uuuh yes it is listen to the original track czcams.com/video/6YzGOq42zLk/video.html
Honestly the acapella goes so hard. I fucking love it, probably more than the original.
1:45 that's when the magic comes
This song becomes the best when you hear it without music, their voices are just magical, specially her's.
def agreed
*hers'
Ikr! Never heard any song that's so beautiful even without the music. I love it both ways.
Totally agree
Her voice is just so beautiful that I can't find words to describe it
Since i found this acapella version i come back every so often. It blasts. And her movements. She casts a spell to push this song in your heart. Both wonderful and i can understand that they dont do songs together anymore. How to top this? How to give anything after this? Its impossible. Its a masterpiece. Short and into the heart. Radio version and acapella.
used to jam to this song when i was young; now i cry to this song because i’ve grown and experienced life
Right?
:)
That's deep
Dude, you're not supposed to listen to the lyrics 😂
@@monjier isn't that the point of songs?
Wow. What a performance. Liked the original but it hid what a powerhouse vocal these two can deliver alone and in harmony. Just mesmerising. Didn't get the recognition it deserved and it still got a lot of recognition.
*100% TALENT*
*0% AUTOTUNE*
There are 2 people in the room, and you can hear way more than 2 voices at multiple times. If you think that none of this has any pitch correction then you are a laughable fool.
100% TRUE
Wow, if you think there is no edit in the chorus part you have no idea of modern music. You can preprogram autotune on a mic set up.
edit: You can even see the girl retouching the depth of her voice after her first line.
Yeah def no synthesizer was used, for real? You can hear it in the chorus. People don't sing with eco :D
Not saying they don´t have good voices or talent.
@@junkyeyesExactly, nobody says they dont have good voices. But there is a fair share of audio editing in their voices.
I was never a huge fan of this song but their clear, loud, emotional vocals sound so much better here, and I'm listening to this on loop idk why it's just SOOO good
saaaaame!! almost couldn’t stand it when it came out bc a person who was extremely abusive towards LOVED it but now that i’ve put a lot of distance between myself and that person and got this video in my recommended as a short (and then looked up the full version), i’m amazed at how magnificent this song is.
what he said
i love gotye's entire album but this a capella is even better than the album version and ive never said that before.
I am a whole air conditioner of the original song
But i am happy you appreciate their vocals
Easily one of the better songs to really capture the feeling of being young and on the search for your forever person. You have to almost be cruel in your ability to move on from someone who isn’t the one. In the long term it’s best for both of you but it still hurts like a MF.
Going through this atm. Feel like such a cunt.
That some deep stuff
What about when it’s someone who we still to this day believe they were the one and got away! 🥴
Oh it's not just a youth problem trust me at 43 ! Cherish good times and value life every day, beautiful rendition of a great song
It does hurt like a truck
[Verse 1: Gotye]
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I 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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2: Gotye]
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
[Chorus: Gotye]
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

[Verse 3: Kimbra]
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
[Chorus: Gotye]
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing (Ahhh)
And I don't even need your love (Oooh)
But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (Ahhh)
No, you didn't have to stoop so low (Oooh)
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (Ahhh)
I guess that I don't need that though (Oooh)
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
[Outro: Gotye, Gotye & Kimbra]
Somebody (I used to know)

A message to the future generations: Dont let this song die
Think it's one of the best songs every written. The vocal arrangement is extremely intelligent. Theres a part of me like most here that want to hear more from the artists but know those lyrics were born out of a painful situation that I wouldn't wish on the writer.
When was this video made? Is it recent or made back when the song was recorded? Anyone know?
@@drs2994 it was made at the time of the songs release.
I also like the song “Bronte” a lot from Gotye
Artists don't just write songs, they write albums. If you like this song, dont be afraid to stream any of his albums. That's how music is best enjoyed and discovered -in an artiats collection, not a spotify playlist.
@@skeleton_wa_migraine1736 true, true.
1:59 you can see the exact moment when she realizes she’s not dropping no ordinary song, she’s dropping an absolute BANGER
You know when you hit a critical hit in a game? Well she did that with her voice and it shows
@Jack Page you're not better than the rest of us just bc u don't use slang 🙄
@Jack Page no you aren't.
@Pablo Angelina Jolie
@Pablo her name is Kimbra
This needs to be on spotify
This version is such a stimulating experience. The highs and lows just hit right in the feels.
without the instrumental you can really appreciate that sadness in the lyrics and the melody. the verses especially sound like they would fit over a gothic/dark wave instrumental

It's like time has made this song reach its TRUE FINAL FORM, and hot damn has it as age like pure fine wine.. Simply Marvelous, Glorious, Tastefully Beautiful.
Can you imagine listening to this song once we're old? All the memories that will go by in an instant of this song playing after we have forgotten.
@@alerodriguez8094 I can see it happening. Just like the beloved songs of the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s & 90s, its best to enjoy these songs. We are blessed to have experienced and listened the songs that have endure the test of Time and the song that have yet to come.
You only truly understand these lyrics after getting your heart broken. I relate to these lyrics on a WHOLE nother level.
That sudden change in vocal😳😳 melted me crazy that hit different
It's a rare gem to have such powerful vocals that the lyrics alone bring chills.
I used to despise this song due to how many time it was on the radio, and how it was overused, now I really like it
There are a few songs I knew I liked, but I was just so tired of them on the radio. And then a larger number on the radio that I just hoped would stop playing.
there a lot of good songs that i dont like to listen to because of how overused it is
Ther are many songs that are few i liked on radio
Dude, exactly my experience
Don't listen to the radio or turn it over
2:34 is UNREALLL
0:59 is the cool part

12 year relationship ended when this came out and it’s been years since I listened to this song but wow it brings back painful memories and tears started flowing. What a great song and beautiful artists who express emotions with such passion.
Ur better off king
😂
Holy fuck I cannot imagine going through a break up like that when this song came out. Would be insane. This song would become my essence I just know it
No worries King, you've got a lot ahead of you in the future. You dropped this btw 👑
Let her know your doing good and wish her well… and of course that she’s just somebody that you used to know
The Moment they started singing together i got goosebumbs coming from my neck over my whole head. So thank u for that
Just now hearing this version and hands down this sound so much better without the music cause you actually tune into their voices. Amazing 😍
1:45 and then the harmonizing after. Sheesh!!
That’s some killer vocal and harmony tracks!
good as hell just with these two voices! and theses effects DAMN, I'm a guitarist and I do know how hard is get the best effects, reverb, harmonic, delay, and then change all to a best feeling, they did it, and again, damn thats good...
@@martelli1273 I mean, yeah their 2 voices. But it’s a bout 7 layers of harmonies of their voices.
I thought the song was decent but this version is way more intense holy moly
@@SonOvaSon It’s just the isolated vocals.
@@mattjns That makes alot of sense now thank you
Every time I hear Kimbras voice, the "now and then i think of all the times" part, well all of her parts actually! But anyway she gives me the goosebumps fr fr, its like a Goddesses on a hilltop who's lived thousands of years and feel so much grief, an has so much otherworldly knowledge to say and convey!! Like its so magical ugh so fucking GOOD 🤙🤙✨🙄😩
This a beautifully written comment
Aurora gives me the same vibes.
The Goddess on the hilltop, beautiful fr
And yet still, she's so cool and talented, she sang it perfectly while doing the kamehameha.
Wow! I was surprised there was no background music and after listening, it really brings out the vocals. Awesome version!
what you are listening to is just the vocals going through the mixing desk, they can hear the music themselves.
Saw this on Insta...but this one is a better quality
Same
These lyrics cut deep. These two need to make an album.
For me (and other who wants to replay it) 1:53
Thanks it helped a little bit I guess
This sounds better than the original. So much emotions in their voices. Amazing!
bruh this IS the original
@@hija97 no it is not. The original had music
@@Wellifitisntsaucyjack damn how stupid are you

This song is so deep. Hits different
This song go Hard AF. Acapella, with music, and especially chopped and screwed!
A pure ANTHEM.
I was in 9 month inpatient drug treatment when this song came out. Been sober ever since.
I can remember me and another resident listing to this song Sunday mornings when it came out on MTV or vh1, very early am...prob the 1st week it was released...
He was a huge music buff and loved this song..Jesse Gary is a good dude..
This song will always remind me of being there and even though it's not related to my situation, how far I've came since then.
Absolutely amazing song and for the rest of my life I'll have distinct memories tied to this song.
Congratulations on your sobriety
Congratulations friend, wish you the best!
Congratulations yet again on being stronger than life itself! Wish you the best until the end
Keep killing it bro!
She is the best part of the whole song
im not big on singing, but
vocals that leave me with chills. love it.
He’s still going guys. He just retired Gotye and travels around the world performing live👍
Epic
he said that the project may continue in the future
The harmonies at 2:30 are so angelic, it's like ear candy
It's amazing to see their body movement, like they use moment to get the right emotions and vocal tones!
Remember good music doesn't have a color or religion. Be kind to eachother and tell your parents you love them before it's too late
Amen!!!
Damn right!! Well said my friend 👏
Wow that got dark fast lol
@@guessagain3757 and awomen
too late for me
I feel like in the main version you can’t even hear the music over all the… music. They both have such gorgeous voices and you can hear such raw emotion in their singing, but with all the backup music it gets drowned out
Yeah, this version just highlights just how good their voices are
Her voice is so melodic you don’t even need music to back her, you can HEAR THE MUSIC in her voice, her control is ridiculous
40 yrs old and had flashbacks of almost every single one of my exes.
Yeah definitely one or two in particular
Im 18, I ve just lost a soulmate because I treated her badly. I identified my mistakes and eliminated them, but she wants me to be completely erased from her life.
She is in a new relationship as well, and I wont forget her till I die, even when I find someone better.
So yeah, "Now you treat me like a stranger and it feels so rough"
@@armano4125 Let her go. Make sure not to repeat the same mistake over again.
@@marinasplanet255 I will. Yesterday she blocked me. I wont do the same thing ever again and will work on myself hard.
I hope she sees that Ive changed for the better, and maybe our paths will cross again in the future.
1:30 and after is my favorite part!
I absolutely love the harmonizing
I was in middle school when I first heard this on VH1, back when they still played music videos in the early morning. 🥹 me and my brother used to sing our little hearts out to this as we got ready for school. and it opened me up to other types of music. I miss those days.. damn don’t even feel like it’s been 10 yrs fr
Heureka, you got me instantly. I found myself looking for my Airpods just to enjoy this acapella circling uncount times on repeat.
Thank you so very much
@@Voceux Thank YOU for a possibility to listen it straight from the recording studio 🎤🎤🎵👌🏻
It is a version which perfectly suits to our post Corona isolated times. It speaks volumes to those who have been involved in toxic relationships 💙💜🖤
Same here. Lol
BRO I LITERALLY JUST DID THE SAME SHIT RN LMAOOOO
Me too I had to pause and get my earphones
2:07 all I see is Palpatine blasting the Jedi with his powers
Her voice is just unreal with her lyrics are just perfect
2:01
the background vocals are so good with it!!!
This is one of the most stunning acapellas I have ever heard of in my life
It’s not A Cappella…. Someone has just dubbed the album vocal tracks over this live performance.
Took me a while to realize that there was no music in the background, jeez their vocals really are that empowering
If you listen very very closely you can here the music as the tiniest of notes coming from one of the headphones, and honestly, just noticing the little things while Gotye is singing makes this so golden, because the slightest backbone beat from the song is what really does it for me

This showcases, how great their Voices really are.
When I first heard it many years ago, it was just a song. Now with life experience and many girlfriends later, the words have more meaning behind them. Throw in the amazing vocals, I can hear and sense the emotions and feelings behind each word.
a voice that sounds as equally, or more better than both instrumental and vocals combined,
is how you know that a song is good: if the vocals and instrumentals both seperated sound good together, or by itself :)
Its Addictive
This song is really a masterpiece like literally their vocals gives me chills
2:00 was the best
1:30
It’s weird this is pretty much the only song where I can still hear the instrumental without it being there. It’s just so catchy
This is perfect for building your own acapella backing arrangement for the song!
Her voice is so calming.
I can’t believe there’s nothing else but this it’s just so perfect to offer this sadness to Jesus Christ it just had to be and can’t be more
Not exactly a huge fan of the song here, but I am obsessed with this version. Oh the harmonics! 💖
This song was my childhood, I was afraid of the music video when I was about 4, and I rediscovered it when I was 9. It's been my favourite song since, I've brought it with me to my 3 surgeries, and I listen to it everywhere. Now I'm getting better mentally, this song means so much to me, and I can't even describe it, it makes my whole body buzz with excitement everyime I hear the beat.
There isn't a word in ANY language, adequate to describe how incredibly beautiful this is...
Man this is much better to listen to when it doesn't have melody, vocals only.
Very beautiful singing voice.
Sweat was pouring from my eyes.
I don't know why.
