Jonathan Coulton's "Want You Gone" Live Performance (Portal 2 Ending Song)

LOL I never noticed this

[@Freelancer837]

I read this comment and went "It doesn't sound that bad" before I realized what it meant by FEEL. lmao

[@ThomasO2]

Perfect break-up song!

[@hirightnow]

Under the right circumstances..... (Like, you're an immortal AI with a controlling personality augmentation named "Caroline"....)

[@FauxFurz]

Yup.

[@ThomasO2]

Haha one could change the lyrics around a little

[@FauxFurz]

No need.

[@TooCooFoYou]

I used to want you back But now I only want you gone

[@pranjittalukdar8242]

"under the circumstances, this song is shockingly nice'

[@pedhot99]

This really shows how cool Jonathan Coulton is, he can just out on a roof and play guitar and it sounds amazing

[@exa_7g598]

Now I only want Portal3

[@alpinion323]

This is the best melody I've heard in the longest time. Serious kudos Mr. Coulton!

[@ninja2gamer]

amazing one of the best game songs ive hears

[@AGentertainmentofficial]

I don't think GLaDOS actually deleted Caroline. That was the human part of her that had the emotions. Deleting that would have had GLaDOS actually going back to wanting to kill Chell. Because the game nodded that Chell is Cave Johnson and Caroline's daughter, more than likely GLaDOS learned this during the game and without showing any emotion toward Chell, just told her to leave and have a normal life. More proof? Translate the Turret Opera... "Goodbye my little girl. My darling..."

[@sebbe.4313]

WOW. i had no idea about this. I'm 8 years late..... I hope you see this lol

[@TechnoplasmProductions]

The proof is in the pudding... literally! The line "if I delete you, maybe I'll stop feeling so bad" suggests she didn't actually delete Caroline. Since Caroline would've been GLaDOS's only real ability to feel any real emotion a line like that is completely out of place. Plus the "maybe I'll stop feeling so bad" part implies GLaDOS still feels some kind of remorse or emotion. My theory is that GLaDOS faked deleting Caroline as either one last witty joke or as a way to make sure Chell doesn't come back to the Aperture Science facility. If Caroline's side of GLaDOS is gone, Chell would have no emotional attachment to Aperture Science, lore-wise Chell has been through a lot, and it's implied she had been through so much more with the possibility of Cave Johnson being her father. If Caroline was deleted or gone, so would the only real reason for Chell to want to come back to Aperture Science. I'm going to go with the latter on this one, as funny and in-character as it would be for GlaDOS to delete Caroline to just have been one final "screw you!" to Chell, the want for her to not come back to the facility makes more sense... Sorry, I'm 8 years late on this one heh...

[@Suko1983]

Portal & Portal 2 songs are PERFECT!!!

[@SausageLegs]

This is probably the best live performance I've seen. This deserves millions of views.

[@racheloveck]

Wow, he has a falsetto from the gods.

[@mattallurgical]

Dude. This is amazing. Undoubtedly the best live performance of this song I have ever seen.

[@Meowfy]

Rare as in it's not on KZbin, and barely anybody's seen it before I uploaded this.

[@zahktuthalxalyrion6364]

Dude is legit so talented. Love it!

[@Meowfy]

@ElArlequin I know exactly what you mean man. I sometimes think of this song as a breakup song, even though it was used in Portal 2. Kinda like a "I'm better off without you" song. This is an amazing song, and I think this live performance is even way better than the original :D

[@DearHunterFan15]

Greatest reply ever.

[@pixelpancake246]

This performance of the song is so beautiful and just... It really hits. Like, I don't know JoCo, I don't know his creative process or thinking- But to me, with the way he sings this song, it is so clear he wrote a love song. A break up song, but a love song nonetheless.

[@cucumberpat]

Only 5,000 views? Such a shame, the quality's better than anything I've seen yet.

[@BlazenFallen]

This is so awesome ^_^

[@RockingJamboree]

This video is so delicious and moist. Thanks.

[@TrakMiro]

It is "bad". "GLaD" comes at a different point in the song. It says [REDACTED] in the credits most likely because GLaDOS doesn't want Chell to know that she feels remorse now that she remembers who she really is.

[@satotru]

I realized a touching thing about the ggame when i first heard this.

[@Cake007_]

Does somebody have the chords+tabs for this? (Like he's playing it) Awesome version, too bad it's not more popular :/

Description

[@regav62]

You're a lie

[@tikaperson]

AMAZING!! What a treat! Thanks!

[@adoomator]

He also says "If I delete you...", but in the actual song it's "When I delete you..."

[@tron8379]

awesome, you are a legend

[@dakotabulboff6307]

This is fantastic

[@mitschcrafter6766]

i always think you could easily make this sound like a radiohead song.

[@Jaggemonkey]

Glados is one of the most fun, and freshest takes on an old archetype: the volatile mother. She's on your side for a while but then you realize what she's really doing, and try to escape but she keeps putting obstacles in your path, still occasionally trying to pretend she has your best interests in mind, even as she's clearly hurting you. And then when she finally lets you go she does so willingly, but also resentfully. She's also a lot like a jewish mother (which I'm aloud to say).

[@ANSWERSPLZ11one11]

Sounds GREAT!

[@chadicaltaylor8489]

Nice, dude! haha, awesome.

[@LucchiniSW]

It's Gordon Freeman 20 years later!! Now working for Aperture

[@GamersBay1169]

Fantastic.

[@Imakesenseforaliving]

They are Ok, The F7add6 should be a Dm and you need to transpose the entire thing to G if you wanna jam with Johnny though.

[@bcrooks94]

Anyone else wanna know where this is filmed. No? Just me? Ah well. This guy is awesome and so is portal 2 :)

[@TodayCrab55]

TAKE IT THATS WHAT IM COUNTING ON!

[@TodayCrab55]

here we are again

[@Klasseheertje]

@TheSeventhChaos Well, actually.. It can be seen as both.. If you hear the singing you still hear some care for Chell, which actually makes me think Caroline is still in GLaDOS because that's actually the OS..

[@PedroCastroMusic]

amazing

[@BluePi1313]

I had always heard bad. And it also says it in the subtitles

[@kjtama]

ive never playe the game but i want it so badlyyyyyyyyyyy i love these songs so much itried out for the talent show with Still Alive this is like a love song ^^

[@twibkidx]

That's the point I'm pushing.

[@Meowfy]

There's a tab in the description, not sure how accurate it is though. I'm too lazy to try it out. :p

[@mastahc411]

Turn on captions during the credit song and tell me what GLaDOS is singing.

[@taylordelile5183]

Is anyone slightly reminded of the I Heart Huckabees soundtrack when listening to this?

[@sockmonkey62]

KZbin screws up all the spacing, but those notes in the verse alternate between E and A string. (35 35 34.. 33 33 36..)

[@MaiibuKen]

i want to see him live :L

He wrote the song, he can change it if he wants

[@the_phobia]

its in A+. It moves to b flat+. you should be able to get it from there :D

[@bing0able]

@Croecho He is Jonathan Coulton. Btw, not your "joke" is not funny...

[@HamburgZero]

@WSongWriter No wonder. He wrote that song. ;)

[@flater420]

@MikuHatsune10728 I read that as Morgan Freeman. I did not see the connection.

[@DearHunterFan15]

Why is it that all my favorite musicians are bearded?

[@dexiedoo_octo]

Why are his versions always in a different pitch than the games' versions?

[@Cadency]

because he probably cant sing in the game pitch, dont forget its two entirely different singers with different pitches

[@dexiedoo_octo]

@@Cadency very true.

Wait... it "cleary" says glad? I've always heard "bad."

[@Itscreek101]

may i download this via youtubedownloader and upload it on my channel???

[@ThePilgrums]

Because she doesn't say "glad". She clearly says "bad". Hence why it says [REDACTED] in the progress report. She's ashamed to admit she felt a fondness for Chell/the player.

[@TheMotion01]

Hair follicles are created wherever there is a sourse of brilliance, of magnificence. This is why there is hair on your head surrounding the brain and around your penis. As a singer, even more brilliance is inspired from his voice - hence the hair on his face around his mouth. This could be a load of bull. In fact it most likely is. I would just go ahead and ignore this completely.

[@naughtyman2887]

I don’t advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos, and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.

@sasuke1productions I'm sorry D:

[@coshowoto]

[@luispr512010]

What if kenshi did the song

[@dankimberley]

He should be more famous.

[@Mycommentsgethumbsup]

no, please elaborate...

[@zixserro1]

I seriously doubt that; there's almost no evidence that Chell is related to Caroline or Cave. She might have been the adopted daughter of one of the Aperture scientists, but I don't think she was related to the heads of the company, and if she was, they didn't know about it. Although that would be kind of interesting, if Caroline gave up a girl for adoption before becoming GLaDOS... but they'd have to state that in-game for me to believe it.

[@misstigermilk]

Has anyone else noticed a similarity between this song and the basic melody of "Wicked Little Town" from "Hedwig and the Angry Inch"? hmmmm

There's actually a tab in the description :) I found the tab forever ago so I can't remember exactly how accurate it is, but it should do the trick well enough.

Also found this in the comments, seems good: wiki.jonathancoulton.com/Want_You_Gone/Tabs

[@CreeperOnYourHouse]

No it does not. It's a bit confusing. If you listen to it with subtitles in the game, it's bad, not GLaD

[@Lemurrific]

Can anyone figure out the chords? lol
