somebody that i used to know | gotye | acoustic cover ft. charles jones & maiya sykes | stories 

Charles at 2:53 is EVERYBODY right now! The lyrics of this song blow me away. Dude is in essence saying, "Yeah I'm not really emotionally here in this relationship, and I'm SO glad it's over, but you just ghosted me and I thought I'd remain somewhat important to you." Wow the ego!

love the way he looks over at her...all proud...like "she's about to tear this song up!"... I have such goosebumps. The blank stares off into space. The talented band! Wow!

That woman singing made me jump out of my seat. What a take on the song.

I love this so much. She stole the entire performance and he seems excited about it!!

Either those notes are just on the very edge of his vocal range, or he's the best emotional singer I've ever heard. Either way, that was amazing. The slight cracks and straining to hit the high notes fit the song perfectly. Both singers were incredible, and let's not forget the band doing a fantastic job backing them up.

This lady's voice truly has the abliity to tell stories with her singing...bravo..

Did anyone else get the shivers? This makes the song much more serious.

This song lacked NOTHING. So rare a cover rivals the original 😍

These two together are magical, I love the harmony.

I love how powerful Maiya's take on the song is. So nuanced and perfect that Charles had to break character and just appreciate and groove with it. And Charles's interpretation is flawless as well.

Thank you for not having them stare into the camera. It is so much better when you let the song tell a story. This is a great performance.

Their harmonies are out of this world. Too many singers battle when they need to blend, wisdom here is out of this world. Fan forever.

SOUND LIKE A BUNCH OF BUTTER MELTIN OVER A BIG PILE OF FLAPJACKS!

Her voice is butter. It was an A performance already but then she opened her mouth and....damn. Just damn.

Her voice. The passion. This is soul music

charles's reactions from 2:47-3:00 are precious. it was tottaly me vibbing haha

Waited for the lady to sing out of curiosity. Instant reaction was like button. 🤣

I love watching Charles react to Maiya singing. This guy is awesome.

I am AWED by the creativity, and I bestow MAD RESPECT for the work put in!

This is incredible. The emotion in the vocals and slight spokenness of the lyrics is what this original should have been. Gonna have this on repeat.

I absolutely love this arrangement. They are phenomenal and Maiya's voice gave me the chills. Can't stop listening on repeat!

Omg this has made my horrific sadness so much more bearable. Thank you so much!

WOW SHE'S AMAZING

OMG that woman’s voice gave me chills

You know you are listening to something special when the guy is nailing falsetto soprano notes and the woman is hitting high tenor.

Their voices were made to complement one another. Beautiful

I hadn't recognized how exposed this song is. You have to be so strong, confident and emotionally stable to step into that space and fill it. You two are amazing. Got me thinking me and my brother could do this.

Love Charles' vocal. Incredible. Maiya supported him beautifully.

If you watch her face she totally got into the mindset.

They didn't do a bodypainting routine: at first i was disappointed, but then i noticed they gave us a dope ass abstract haircut👍

That was beautifully done! Shivers down my backbone!!!❤❤❤

CHILLS LISTENING TO THIS OMG

Chef's kiss. That was a real treat.

R&B has adorned this song so much

More from these two, please. She gave me chills. What a voice.

It was like these are some smooth vocals, then it was like this is getting soulful. Then I saw Maiya and I like I'm not ready !

Her voice!!!!! 😍😍😍

Stellar cover. Love when he starts smiling as she sings..I was right there with you, in all the feels! Great voices, great players.

Omg... That was absolutely amazing!

Goose Bumps...Just FABULOUS!! Sometimes perfection happens and this is one of those times!!

One of my favorite songs! 🔥♥️😎

Goosebumps all the way!!!! Thank you so much!!

I love this cover so much.

I'd like to LIKE this again if I could. I saw it when it first came out, as as I'm watching the new Stories uploads (THANK YOU!) this showed up again. Rare beauty here.

Amazing!!!! Lovely voices

Great cover. Maiya's voice was amazing. Charles was pretty darn good, too, but I would have liked to hear him belt out some of the parts where he was singing falsetto. That could be mind-blowing.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS CHANNEL AND THIS VERSION. FANTASTIC!

1:55 that key change was crazy good and so underrated.

Oh man, two of my favorite singers in an unexpected duet! This met my very high expectations.

Amazing performance! I love ❤his voice and the vibe of the performance. Well done!

Their harmony is beautiful but she is just perfect... chills!

Jesus.........that woman’s voice 😳😳😳goosebumps ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Such a breathtaking vocal performance. Another level.

This is amazing! I love this.

Jeez great performance in that falsetto chorus... Wow. All of you guys did amazing

This is the first time in a LONG time that I've been able to genuinely enjoy this song

Love your interpretation of the song...thanks for posting

Wow!!her voice and own style to the song 👍

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 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 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 (aah-ooh) And I don't even need your love (ooh) But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (aah) No, you didn't have to stoop so low (ooh) Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (aah) I guess that I don't need that, though 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) 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

I love soo much these two 💓 💗 You both are a pleasure to the my soul!
