vocal only - Gotye somebody that i used to know without pauses

[@ishaa6825]

Gotye] 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 [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 2: 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 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 [Outro: Gotye] 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

Coming back to this song 7 years later and 1 year out of a miserable and abusive relationship, Kimbra's verse hits me in a deeply relatable way. It's a side of the relationship Gotye's character doesn't tell and he ends her verse by cutting her off with the chorus. I can't get over how nuanced and powerful this song is.

Because the industry is so oversaturated with songs about romantic relationships, failing or otherwise, it's easy to minimise the significance of the emotions surrounding such things. Maybe I'm the only one that does this, idk, but we're at our most vulnerable around the people we like, even more so around the people we're emotionally invested in. The song does an excellent job of capturing how it can feel to have someone disappear from your life and to have all those great memories be replaced with bitterness, discomfort and oftentimes malice.

DiabolicalPaperClip but how you do thT

[@jellyspleens284]

@@libitina27 theres 2 main ways. using an app to isolate vocals (it sounds a bit more poor quality and wouldn't sound this good) OR you can basically hack and leak the different vocals and instruments of the song which gives you really clear vocals. this isnt really ethical and it happens to a lot of modern vocal heavy artists like ariana grande , demi lovato etc
