Everyone Knows That / Ulterior Motives | Fan Made Complete Version/Cover

Everyone Knows That / Ulterior Motives by Matthew Sykes, original version by Christopher David Booth
Lyrics:
I let it happen again
I thought we had something together but it came to an end
I should've known from the start
That your love would just leave me with a broken heart
I tried to make it better
We could be forever
I thought that you would always be there
Never trust a liar
Our love turned into fire
I know that it was all just pretend
Cause you're counting all the sheep in the skies
Caught up in a world of lies
Everyone knows that you've got
Ulterior motives tell me the truth
Every move shows that you've got
Ulterior motives what can I do
I heard the things that you said
Told your friends that you would leave me when you found him again
I should've known from the start
When you told me that you loved me you were playing a part
I tried to make it better
Couldn't last forever
I know that you will never be there
Now you're both together
Happier than ever
I never want to see you again
Cause you're counting all the sheep in the skies
Caught up in a world of lies
Everyone knows that you've got
Ulterior motives tell me the truth
Every move shows that you've got
Ulterior motives what can I do
Everyone knows that you've got
Ulterior motives tell me the truth
Every move shows that you've got
Ulterior motives what can I do
Info:
Like a lot of you I'm really obsessed with this one little piece of unknown media. Especially because of how good that chorus is. I hope it's found, because it would be a shame to have something with that good of a melody lost to time.
Because of that, I just had to go and do my own version. This isn't an attempt to write what I think the song actually sounds like, it's just an interpolation of the clip we have into a bigger song and what I think the song would be structurally.
For the recording I used a few of the stems that were made available by ‪@Prod.Rookieboi39‬ from his video here: • Video
I used those isolated drum machine and bass parts to get the overall structure of the track and then started adding my own parts and doing some editing of the current clip.
I tired my best to keep it pretty lo-fi. I think a lot of the charm of this little clip is how it sounds. The nostalgia comes from that grainy sounding audio and I really wanted to make sure that was present, even in the new parts. I do think it makes this version sound a little like a modern artist trying to sound like their from the 80s instead of an actual 80s track. I wanted The Squeeze, but wound up with something a little closer to Tame Impala.
Lyrically, I wanted to try my best to write parts that framed well with what was available. I wrote the song from the perspective of a guy who gets his heart broken and was ultimately used to make anther guy jealous.
Thanks for checking this out. Best of luck to everyone out there on their search!

WOAH! Thanks for all the love on this y'all! I really appreciate all the views and nice comments. I've been trying to get this on Spotify, but the other versions make it hard to get released. Even though no one knows who the copyright holder is, my distributor still flags this release when I try to release it. Hopefully it can find it's way to streaming sites at some point. If you like this, please check out my band The Kindest People. Musically, it's a little different than this, but if you like my voice and my lyrics, you'll find way more of it there. The Kindest People: kzbin.info Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/7xpbNrgKrmMzsKBuL90Ldi?si=O7I23dWdTJ6ZAlGflPfxZg I also have solo music out on streaming as well as here on my KZbin channel. Feel free to check that out if you want to. Thanks again!

[@Melerme]

hello

[@orlandoblueregard1382]

For any reason, can you accept a suggestion? The song is awesome, but I feel like is missing a part in pre chorus like in this song kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpSsmnWEjbiefdE the part that says "I'm living in a world you designed, I'm never gonna change my mind" and then follows Cause you're counting all the sheep in the skies Caught up in a world of lies... I feel that just with that part added the song will be 100/100 just that, so ¿ can you adjust the lirics to make sense and add the double pre chorus please?

[@CLU.2.0]

I checked out your band, ngl good stuff

[@siray3232]

​@@orlandoblueregard1382 he's not gonna rewrite the entire thing because you liked something in another version lol

[@Raynoir4779]

This is actually pretty good! I didn't live in the 80's to know how accurate this is to music at the time. (I was born in the 2000's. ) But even if it doesn't sound exactly like the songs at the time, it still sounds pretty good. Maybe i'll check out your band! If your other songs are as good as this it'll definitely be very nice.

[@MatthewCSykes]

Welp we found it. What a long, hard ride we've been on, but we all came together and managed to pull this out. Sure, the ride got rough sometimes. It often felt like we got caught with our pants down, but we pushed through and overcame all the humps in the road. The internet community continues to prove how handy it is. I don't mean to moan on and on about this, but what we've done is really tight. Just when things got sticky, we swallowed our pride and found Ulterior Motives. Good job, everyone!

@@solidnywonsz to be honest we dont even really know most of the lyrics cause the sound quality is so bad. This is basically its own piece at this point, saying its a song from a porno doesnt feel like a right way to describe it.

[@spongeusz]

It's a paradox that this song has "everybody knows that" in the lyrics but actually nobody knows that.

[@hammy_and_britney]

Not a paradox per se, rather something ironic

[@spongeusz]

@@hammy_and_britney yeah you're right

[@Mesadly]

Theory: Carl 92 made it to prove some point. The main lyrics are called everone knows that (nobody knows it) and its a song about someone caught up in a world of lies ( We wont stop looking for a song that might not even exist) Its just too ironic. Carl probably made it to prove something

[@Hi_buddywazup]

@@MesadlyI thought carl92 made it up too, but someone brought up that he posted other lost songs on his account that got found. Idk maybe that means nothing.

[@GalenKamran]

​@@Mesadly i've thought the same thing for a while now too. The lyrics do literally seem to be explaining that Carl92 had ulterior motives despite how genuine his post seemed and the history he had on the site. I still don't think it's certain he made it I'm still split between both sides lol

[@d9zirable]

You forgot the moaning

[@starmarker3896]

I only found out about this hunt recently and it's kind of exhilarating. This is the best recreation I've heard. Putting it in my internet-core playlist.

[@RhombusEnterprise]

there are THOUSANDS of lostwave tunes out there, its genuinely overwhelming. and, sometimes they get solved. especially the past few months, some of our oldest and coldest cases have been solved. i recommend looking into a channel called q, they post the most and are also a huuuge part in solving these. its a cartoony monochromatic pfp i dunno how else to direct others but its da best channel for lostwave and solvedwave for sure.

[@-arcademaster101-]

while the original song is just about as good as the little snippet implied (outside of, you know 👁👁), I think I prefer this version. It's almost like an exaggerated version but in the best way possible.

Out of all the “full version” remakes I’ve come across, this is the most ‘80s sounding one I’ve heard so far. Even if we never get the full recording or it turns out to be a hoax, I’m more than happy to accept this as the next best thing. Keep up the good work!

[@gopet400]

I think I know how to find the original song. Perform this on one of those talent/ singing shows and pass it off as an original. Statistically someone watching will probably be involved with the original and call you out on it hopefully bringing us closer to the real song.
