Ben Caplan - Drift Apart (reimagined) - Official Video 

I think that Ben Caplin is one of the finest singers/entertainers in this world. He is everything that you want to hear and see. Just as good as good is! We love Ben!!!

Another break-up? Another binge. I forgot how many were between the one who introduced me to you and this one. Well time for booze and good music. Thank you Bee and Ben.

As much as I find a crucially integral part of the original to sing it inceasingly agressively loud as the song goes on, I do appreciate how different the feelings are that this version brings out of me :)

I love how the distant female vocals make it feel like she shares the same doubts. That perhaps the drift isn't all natural, but because of a lack of communication between two lovers. Something new the first version didn't have :) I prefer this version for more reasons than your growing skill as a singer. I think the more introspective and stoic vibes fits better than the, guttural, perhaps even hysterical emotions of the original. They're both absolutely beautiful, but I can imagine the lyrics being most felt by someone who's done a whole lot of pondering about their relationship and themselves, and the sadness has dulled to an ache rather than a weeping wound.

I always found this haunting and beautiful. Now it applies at a heart level and I'm crushed. What an apt shared pain.

This song couldn´t have been more beautiful, and somehow you did it. Been loving your latest work, keep it up Ben!

Not many musicians send me goosebumps. The amount of heart and soul in music creates this feeling for me. This song hits me like a catastrophe, because this is happening to me after 12 years of love,care, and effort. It breaks the very fiber of me, and makes me question what's the point anymore. I just keep trying and nothing changes.

Been listening to Ben for years. He just keeps getting better and better

Man, I love you. So soulfull songs that reflects what I feel. "Stranger" should get the Nobel Prize! Best wishes to you

Bellissima

I love this song!

This is beautiful. But if I may say, it doesn’t have the same fire and rage that touches my heart and soul every time I listen to the original.

You're still hung up man, you haven't got over it ... But you feel more mature now, you feel the loss in a new way, your anger has changed to vagueness, unclarity, doubt, I love this , feelings all over the place , respect mate. ❤️

Mr Caplan you always hit a spot that no one does. Can't wait to see you live one day. Greetings from Israel

Absolutely lovely! Can't wait to hear the rest of this album.

Amazing. The most famous live version was more choleric, this one reminds me more a melancholic feeling, which is more coherent with the full lyrics. Both versions are fantastic, and i know that life will bring moments when this reimagined style will talk more with me than the original version, great work man! A piece of art! (Ps: Jenn Grant did a wonderful work here).

Wow. Just Wow. Such a rich and emotional rendition.

every word is what I'm going through rn such a beautiful song

Meu amigo Ben, these lyrics really struck a chord with me. I also love the melody. I'm looking forward to seeing you live in Nuremberg later this year!!!

Ben caplan is awesome, thanks for the tunes.

This. Is absolutely incredible, what a thing to wake up too, and my morning has already been made fully. In all seriousness this is an absolutely amazing reimagination of the original. It stays with the original but also sounds completely different, like this song is brilliant!

brought me to tears . this version is awesome XD

I love you man. Thank you for saying it for those who cannot.

Um abraço de um fã do Brasil 🇧🇷

Breathtaking version.

I feel like it's a different, more personal and empathical POV of Gotye's "Somebody that I used to know". Terrific song. Again, I dream of performing with Ben Caplan. He's my favorite artist.

Omg this beautiful. And really heart breaking for me now in my life.

I've been listening to this so much lately. This is a beautiful suprise.

Drift apart is one of my favorites songs. Thank you for making a video of It.

Nice song and video clip in the beautiful nature.I like your work keep it up Ben! Hope to see you live in Thessaloniki this December.

This is shockingly beautiful

This was so good.

Al inicio no me convenció, pero ahora que lo vuelvo a ver me doy cuenta que es una joya, esta buenísimo Ben

Me encanta esta canción, y que gran version!!

Can't wait to see you live in Rotterdam and Groningen this year!

Good damn heartbreaking. In the right way. Ow that's the man I used to be. Loved meeting Ben he was the kindest dude. But he also feels pain. 🤕🤒🤧

Im glad I stumbled across this

When I wrote you that letter You'd already made up your mind All my words were written in vain And when I called you up that day I was only calling up to say hello But goodbye Was the word that you'd been thinking 'bout for days I didn't know that you were going to leave me I wish I knew the way to make you come home What can I do if this is right for you I have not been perfect for you Although I think I was back at the start You have no more patience for me So now I guess we'll both just drift apart All those times I wasn't there The times you thought I didn't care I hope you can believe I thought of you 'Cause you were everything I needed I've been selfish and so self-absorbed I thought that you'd be waiting when I reached the other side Last night I put my arms around another woman's waist The touch was sweet but bitter while we danced And great love can bring greater pain I hope I fall in love again What can I do if this is right for you I have not been perfect for you I like to think I was back at the start You have no more patience for me So now I guess we'll both just drift apart I want the best for you and Now I realize that it isn't me I haven't been the man you need I wish I'd been able to be I'm sorry that I did not give you everything that you desired And that I made you feel upset When you just made me feel inspired I have not been perfect for you I wish we could go back and just restart But you have no more patience for me So now I guess we'll both just drift apart Drift apart

Waiting!!!!! Biggest fan 🙏🙏🙏

Hi Ben! 🤗♥️

This made me cry. Trying to get over a breakup with the love of my life.

okwow

better than your original imo, different feelings, this has more of a vibe of acceptance.

I loved the original, this one feels to clean. Still love it!

If voices were chocolate...

შენ, ფიზიკის კანონებს არღვევ, არ ხარ ნორმალური! ❤️💛💚.

So long

Boys who wants to be men this is the rigth musician for you

A great song for sure but years later after the first version was released you make a slower lesser version? I'm just confused as why now without an album coming out that I am aware of you release this? It lacks the emotion you sing it live or on the album. You seem bored sininging here. Still love the song and look forward to when you come close enough to NY to go see a concert.

Huge fan, but the original is so much better. Maybe shop the song out to a new artist to cover ... This song has so much poetic beauty to it, the way Cohen's hallelujah did, you just need to find your Jeff Buckley. I'm a bit of a novice songwriter myself. If I ever write something, would it be cool to email it to you? Edit* listening further I enjoyed the strings and chorus.

this lack the original emotion. It does not make me want to cry. I think I hate it compared to your original recording, in opinion, it sucks. it feels like a cover.
