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

the guy at the right is so hilarious to watch because it looks like hes thinking "Oh I remember those days, those glorious days..... wehn i was a pirate on those adventurous seas...."
Best comment ever!!!!
He is a sea captain not a pirate. Jack Sparrow and Somalians are pirates.
James Geraghty ahh my mistake
***** I have a strange feeling he hides the universe ITSELF under his hat
Hatception.
damn, i blinked and 10 years is gone?!?!?, this song is still awesome, when i hear and see this video is like i see it for the first time lol
I know right!? I didn't even know about youtube when this came out, I just knew this was popular for some reason. No grasp on what the internet even was
I remember this video beeing in the news on television cause it got so many views in short time.. 10 years ago..
Amen!! Me too!! I can't believe it's been 10 years 🤯 Still love this version more than the original.. Goosebumps every time ❤️
Fr time flies
C'mon Man, you're trippin'. It wasn't ten years ago, it was...well, I mean it was a while ago, but certainly not...(looks up) Motherf***er!
No wonder that weird old dude keeps eyeballing me in store windows. 🙃
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.
I saw it too. What a garbage move by the uploader.

This cover always makes me feel so nostalgic, 2012 was the best time of my life. Life was easy, it feels like the world has changed so much since then. Thank you so much Walk Off The Earth. Your music means a lot to me

@Matthew Smith ooooh brutal
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.
This is like every school project
- the quiet kid who doesnt want to talk to anyone
- the hot girl that got paired up with 4 guys
- the group leader that tries a bit too hard
- the guy who's idea gets stolen by the group leader because he says it louder
- the guy that does the absolute minimal amount of work possible

I like the dude on the right
He continues to be missed here by many.
What did he die
Rip
He's my favorite also😏
When did he pass? That hurt my heart 😒
This is the first song I watched of there's and loved. But more importantly when I showed someone, I always picked out beard guy's most crucial role in this song that he had. He definitely made it.
He will be sadly missed. RIP beard guy
yeah. that flourish on the top of the neck and his background vocals definitely completed the sound. That song won't ever be played quite the same again. RIP Mike Taylor
Agreed... I only look out for his part...
good
sorry, but *theirs
Who died ?
11 years ago..
2023 and it's still beautiful.
This will always be a vibe
Mike "Beard Guy" Taylor looks like he knows everything from the beginning of time. Rest in Peace

Almost 5 years now gone but never forgotten R.I.P Mike "The Beard Guy" Taylor.
Still coming back, still one of my favorite songs/videos on YT.
Beard guy is me when participating group project.
do you miss beard guy or mike
So your dead?
@@ssssSTopmotion ...dude
Doing the best part and that’s it
@@jcpurex7991 i thought beard guy was mike
After all these years...still the best cover on CZcams. It both makes me happy thinking about all the success they are having and sad thinking about Mike being gone,
This is wonderful, but the best cover on CZcams is still that one of Hey Ya.
for me is far better than the "original"
Best cover of this song or best cover of any song? The cover of Sound of Silence by Disturbed is a strong runner up for best cover of any song.
They've been chasing the dragon this big for a long time
Strangely, but this version is the first version of this song, I heard. For me this is original video.
Thank you, guys.
Yes!! Me too!! 😂❤️
Same here.
every now and then I come back and rewatch this masterpiece. I wish I could add a 'like' every time!
I'll add one for ur comment
Wholesome!!!!
Imagine someone misses a note.
"Ok, now from the start again"
I would be so pissed
Long hair dude’s voice is so processed that I highly doubt what we are hearing comes from these mics. All the other guys voices are too clear to be so far away from the mics. This is a playback, however is nice and creative.
Lol
That’s why you practice lol
@@striped_lightnin Judging by the look they make at the end of the video I think they had to do this so many times that day.
ギター1本でここまで表現できてて、初めてみた時は鳥肌たった…
今でも聴いてます！！😭💕💕
Ok everyone is talking about the girl, the guy in the middle, and the far right and left guy (because yes, they are awesome) But can we please give love the the guy who sang first?! His voice is amazing!!💖💖
2:53 gives me goosebumps. Sarah has the most beautiful voice.
Omg just as I listened to that part and I got goosebumps! So true!!!!
Kimbra kills her
The guy on the far right looks like a fucking majestic sea captain gazing over everyone.

+JJTrOnE Yeah, serious fuckin stubble. Sweet as. Beard aside, this video is so clever. Nicely done.
And the rest are pirates :()
Guy on the right is majestic as fuck!
***** I dont rember man, its my first time watching this.
***** our right our their right?
***** The video has over 165 million views its a coincidence -.-
***** This video has 230,163 comments. If one person can come up with the comment, someone else can too. It's not a really far-fetched comment.
***** he is REALLY majestic tho
Who in 2024?
Yes sir
Still the best version of this song
Yo
저요!
i just realised this video is how i heard of them . . definitely somebody i used to know.😂
The addiction towards this masterpiece of song and cover will never fade away. Still feels like new.
The guy at the left doesn't get much credit, *he was killin' it*

@@Chr1stel lol I dunno why I defaulted left to "their left" and not "the viewer left"
"other left".
Underrated comment 💟
1:37 still gives me the chills, even all these years later.
Hard to believe it’s been 10 years already. This song was on repeat in my car for weeks after it released. Easily one of my favourite covers. Rest in peace Mike. Gone too soon. ❤️
Realised it today after so many years that the bearded guy was actually holding the fret board of the guitar in place for everyone to play on
His contributions were understated, yet absolutely essential. RIP Beard Guy
The guy on the right is me in group projects :D
Haha I'm the far left guy,doing all the work!!!😂😂😂
You re making the cool part
so you're a god
Riya Amaan I’m him
I'm the guy on the left
It happens extremely rarely to me that I keep going back to a page and watch the video over and over and over. But this video does that for me. 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!
This is officially the most beautiful thing I've seen on CZcams. For some reason this brings a large smile on my face. Probably because this song is beautiful already, coupled by 5 beautifully talented people on a single guitar. THANK YOU. Much love from the Philippines.
I remember going nuts about this song in high school. Now my kid is singing "my stupid heart" Time really does fly!
Dude in the right corner looks so chill..
THIS IS SPARTA!
I believe he is Eric Cantona :)
oui j ai bien cru que c été lui au depart la ressemblance et trés frapante
More like the face of death and the eye of evil
looks like Patrick Warburton
Fun fact: they had to convince Mike “Beard Guy” on the right that this song was a sea shanty in order to get him to participate. May he Rest In Peace.
Wait he died?!
@@dsecase1137
Yes. I don’t know the details, but I remember seeing something about it a while ago.
@@eddardstark6554 How sad. He looked so young!
@@dsecase1137 Apparently he passed away in his sleep. 😪😔🤧😥😢
Yes, he passed away in his sleep on 30th December 2018. He didn't even get to see the year 2019. Rest in Peace.
Even years later this rendition is still so epic.
It’s a tradition to rewatch this every once in a while.
The last video I watch with my father before he's gone. And he said "this song is really good" and everytime I hear this, I cry
I'm sorry
Sorry to hear you’ll be able to hear it again with him someday. Hopefully no time soon but someday forsure

Coming across this old video now, as I go through all your songs. Can not get over just how incredible you all are. LOVE listening and watching too. So entertaining! 🎸
10 years and still the most impressive cover I've heard
Watching this 9 years later makes me sad, because almost half the band is gone, the man on the right past, and the man beside him left. Luckily they found a new recruit and their band is still making beautiful music that I 💕
Why did the other guy leave?
How did the guy die?
@@ABishop681 wiki says "natural causes"
What is the name of the guy who left? I love his voice
Watching in 2016......This is the very first video from WOTE that I saw, and it's still my favourite.
same here😂😂
Yes, me too 😍 !
***** IKR! Such a fun band, and yet fantastic musicians and vocalists too!
***** Found it.....Watching now.....Thanks for the recommendation!
Hhmmmm favourite hmmm favorite is the correct spelling
I still get goosebumps hearing this. Thanks forever
If anyone sees this, this is song still feels fresh and is still really special. Time flies and I will never forget this song. The video still holds up!!!!!
Not enough people talking about the guy on the left. Keeping time like that on a guitar isn't easy.
Yup.
Yup
Yup.
Yup

Most heart felt condolences from my family to the Taylor family , the band , all their families and friends.
our family saw WOTE at the YMCA Burlington in Dec 2012...where my son and daughter (aged 10 and 8 at the time) were in the front row on the right hand side looking out from the stage in an old archive photograph on their website. 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.
Nice
It makes you think doesn't it... Just gone like that... RIP😢
I remember sitting at the table and watching this with my dad when it released. To this day this is all I can think about whenever I here this song on the radio.
Who listen this in 2024
I still do
I do
Me ❤

6 years later, I still want to become as majestic as the beard guy.
Arthur Gavino lmfao
I've got some bad news for you... :(
Arthur Gavino he just passed away 😔
Man, this bummed me out.
dankery1 such a bummer mang
The guy on the right looks like he is a majestic sea captain gazing over everyone.
xD
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.
What a great band, I love hearing them, nailing it with each song.
Dec 31 2018 is the day I discovered this cover band...
But I realize Mike Taylor Passed away. RIP Beard Guy...
Dec 30th*
Not just a cover band. They have their own original stuff as well, and a lot of it is really good.
How?

What's happened?!
He sadly past away :( google it
I live in Kazakhstan. for me this news is shock

they dont need more instruments
yeah that's the beauty of it
Barely political reference?
You do realize it was a joke, right?
You stole this joke from This is Хорошо
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever come across. I still remember when my music teacher played it for my class in grade 1 or 2. I always come back to this video and it lives up to everything I hope it’ll be every time :)
You guys have been consistently one of my favorite bands since I saw this 10 years ago. Thanks for the memories
Almost 10 years later this is still an amazing masterpiece of a cover. Congrats guys !
