Within Temptation - Sombody That I Used To Know (Gotye Cover)

[@norbonius]

Gotye Version: You're sad, a bit angry, and you decide to just split and see each other as strangers. Within Temptation Version: You're mostly angry, and you decide to have a "breakup" axe battle in the moonlit winter forest. On horseback.

I LOL'd so hard

[@matrydez6807]

Lol Awsome comment, I love it.

[@demonicangel132007]

I'd watch that.

[@DonEBrooke32]

norbonius wish Tarja and Nightwish covered this. Tarja's voice was just heavenly.

[@theepilogue2190]

norbonius LOVE IT!

[@NostalgicMem0ries]

her voice is divine. no matter what song, her voice + rock makes everything sound way better

[@Vito_-dt1lb]

Just posted 95% of this in Little Lion Man. Sharon's voice and WT's sound make almost any song better than the original one. That's totally awesome, dude!

[@MrEgofreak]

@@Vito_-dt1lb They did a cover of Mumford & Sons "Little Lion Man?"

[@Vito_-dt1lb]

@@MrEgofreak Yes, they did. Just browse "Little Lion Man Within Temptation". Sounds totally different. You could even argue that both versions can't be compared because they're pretty much sang in different styles. WT's cover isn't country-tuned like the original Mumford & Sons, but as a matter of personal taste, i find WT's cover better.

[@MrEgofreak]

@@Vito_-dt1lb Metal is always better! :)

[@jutjubow]

@@Vito_-dt1lb I hate Mumford & Sons music so I am pretty sure the cover is better!

Right here

[@MrEgofreak]

On the compilation album, the Q music sessions, which was just upgraded from limited availability, by my reckoning.

[@Lady_Sleepless]

I'm baffled. I've loved Within Temptation for the longest time, but I hadn't heard these covers. I love this song normally, but WT's version is just amazing. I just know this'll be going on loop now.

[@Zeromancer0]

Yeah this is easily the best cover of this song. I have listened to alot covers of this song but holy shit man. This is just so good.

[@ShawnCoxRI]

Indeed.

[@alicecullen429]

totally

[@JeanAndGrey]

This is better than Original, I hate original but this one is damn great!

[@stopislamicconquest5060]

I agree.

[@wolfox7776]

if nothing else it's equal to Walk of the Earth. but that's mostly because they played their version on just one guitar

[@yourlocalsaggirl8702]

i'm crying for how beautiful this song is please what a time to be alive

[@haydarhannachi9374]

WT makes their covers more like originals 🤩

[@elianazabalamoreno6394]

WHAT VOICE AND WHAT STYLE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL GROUP OF SINGLE ROCK MUSICAL .

[@zombiedude347]

I think the reason that this cover is so much better is how it adds great harmony to a song that had almost no harmony at all.

[@Dylans3Tears]

Harmony isnt necessarily, well... Necessary. I think the original is still fantastic because it's so raw and just this is it. A verse, chorus, bridge, chorus. This ones fantastic and the harmonies are gr8 m8, but the original is also amazing

[@MarilynXoXo20]

Wow. I'm speechless, in a good way. Sharon sounds so great here. They all do.

[@luanatristam2955]

A voz dessa mulher è maravilhosa.

[@Matt7895]

When it really gets going, it's awesome. Everything from 3:00 onwards deserves to be heard LOUD.

[@GurpShurper]

Keeping this alive in 2023! Absolutely incredible

[@DeathOrRock]

It's just that some people can't comprehend that music can be fun and you can play with it and it doesn't have to be dead serious

[@dannyb3663]

Wow. The lyrics of this song suit metal SO MUCH MORE than the original style. The metal gives it even more angst. This cover is AMAZING.

[@JustASammy12345]

One of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands. Neat.

[@oroheartgold]

This song is my new drug

[@DragonessYT]

This song speaks to me because it applies to both sides of what happened between me and the girl I liked. After she dropped her feelings for me for a girl she was friends with I broke all connection with her because she still wanted to be friends. Even had the gall to tell me there will never be anything I can ever say to change her mind, which really struck deep because she was one of the most kind and considerate people I'd ever met. And even today she's forgotten what she did to me because she still wants to be friends when after not talking to one another for 9 months.

[@Jeng4280]

I love this one more than the original! It’s rockin’!

[@MaartenKok]

I think all of their covers sound like they could've used just a bit more polish, but if you remember that they popped one of these out every single week, it's pretty impressive in my opinion.

[@mikepalmer1971]

She can do no wrong. Just amazing.

[@VK_28]

Damn didn't know this cover existed but glad it does it sounds original like it's her song, potentional to have been powerful and she's made it powerful

[@michaelmyers3606]

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 that 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 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 (x3) 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 And 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, Now you’re just somebody that I used to know (Somebody) I use to know That I used to know

[@sandravovin]

I usually can't stand this song, but with this cover it's more than tolerable! :)

[@dalekcaan99]

Im the same, its just so nice done like this.

[@bigbongo5]

Voice is so pure. Awesome version. Check out their live DVDs, which are awesome.

[@CaZZmiN]

her voice is soooo amazing *_*

[@tiithindrikson7280]

Wikipedia says - "The Q-Music Sessions" - The band also did four more covers for the radio station, "Little Lion Man" (Mumford & Sons), "Somebody That I Used to Know" (Gotye), "Skyfall" (Adele) and "Paradise" (Coldplay), but the songs were not included on the album due to copyright issues from the original artists. So this (better version of this) song cant be even found on Spotify.

[@afroheadwes]

What a cover. Just as good as the original which is high praise for a cover. I also love the original so I can’t bring myself to say it’s better…. Just yet

[@caralampioaguinaldo9195]

porque esta canción no esta en spotify? es de las mejores que tiene esta banda. :(

[@thedrow1]

Her voice is so tempting!

[@psycophantic]

wow, once this is thought it cant be un-thought. Imagine you were kidnapped and tied to a chair in a basement by a crazy ex. And they were saying the lyrics of the song while digging a hole and swinging a knife around you. Definitely gives the song a darker tone. Especially the "Now your just somebody that I used to know" line..... Damn.

[@seijhik]

+psycophantic Well I guess any song can become scary when your crazy ex has you tied on a chair, in a basement. But I get your point^^

[@michaeldine9157]
