Somebody That I Used To Know - Vintage '40s Big Band Gotye Cover ft. Hannah Gill 

"You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness." is and always will be one of my all time favorite lyrics.

I love that she isn't just singing the original melody to a jazzier track. She's actually made it fit the 'time period' of the song, unlike some of the others

Her voice has cleared my skin fixed my sleep schedule and watered my crops

When she started singing did anyone else get a jolt of goosebumps????

the drummer has been unlocked

The drops of rain fell to the floor of the night club as I entered. The place was called "The Lonley Sailor," and looked like any other place where the lowest of the low would be. So naturally, I got right in. I suppose the dim lights and the cigar snoke were to convince all the drug dealers and murders that they were somehow hidden from God, but then again, I don't think the big man would appreciated my past. My lead was telling me that I could find some dirt on my suspect by asking some questions to his lady friend who sang at this fine establishment, one Miss Hannah Gill. He warned me about Miss Gill. He told me that she carried a small pistol in her purse, but what was more dangerous was her sharp tounge. She could have you yelling for info one second and then handing over the dead to your home the next. He warned me that she had some unfavorable connections. People she had owed were always after anyone who did so much as look in her direction. Lastly, he warned me. Under no circumstances could I fall in love with her. But after sitting down at the bar, getting the smoke from the lungs of the bartender out of my face and ordering a stiff drink, I realized something that my lead hadn't warned me about her. Her voice. If it wasn't for the undeniable fact that she was right there, I woulda swore an angel had appeared in the bar and was working for tips as a singer. I knew the words she was singing must have had some meaning, but all I could hear was the range she had on her. Every high and low drew me closer and closer. I'm afraid I'd have to tell my lead I disobeyed his advice.

The dame's eyes glanced over the framed photo on my desk. "You know her?" she asked. I lit up a cigarette, and took a long draw, letting the smoke curl up to the slowly turning ceiling fan. "I used to."

her voice fixed my grades, my debt, cleared my skin, purified my soul, cured my depression and my anxiety

This is one of those sophisticated, original PMJ videos. I absolutely love it.

it feels weird because most 40's songs had an upbeat feel to combat the war tensions and to hear some of the more negative words and more sad beat felt odd based on the time period....

I'm in love with this pronunciation and low deep voice

The second I heard her voice i fell in love. The depth and tone she had is astounding. This is what we need nowadays, especially after we forgot the virtues of what music is. Keep blessing people with these wonderful pieces

remember Gotye ? now he is just somebody that we used to know

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 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 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 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, 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

A great arrangement. super soulful voice. strong vibrant claps!

I now have a 40’s jazz style, and an 80’s pop version of a song that perfectly encapsulates how I felt when my ex broke up with me. I guess I AM addicted to a certain kind of sadness.

this song feels like it was made for this

Cold grey eyes met bright blue ones amidst a sea of strangers. A lifetime ago, he would’ve run to her without hesitation, a smile on his face and a greeting on his tongue. But this time, he would only turn away as if he’d never seen her. “Isn’t she your lover?” The girl at his side asked. “No. She’s just somebody I used to know.” He replied. And the two parted ways for the last time, as strangers, just as they had been when they first met.

Where do you always get those awesome musicians from? Every video lately has another talented singer and/or great instrumentalists. Insane.

9 years ago this song was everywhere. Now Gotye is just somebody that we used to know.

Hannah Gill was so perfect for this song - Please have her come back for more 😍 Love her voice and love this cover!!!💕💕

I love this cover; it's almost like a different song because it's so nicely adjusted to the genre and time period. And Hannah Gill is my favourite vocalist.

What a performance! Hannah Gill's voice is almost addictive

가수 분 음색 진짜 감미롭다...이 딱 시작하는 부분부터 감전된것처럼 충격먹었음... 편곡도 여태까지 들었던 것 중 최고다ㅠㅠ

just makes me smile so wide... so fresh and open vocals, classic horns and love those early drum sprinkles... you guys are awesome

Her voice is so clear and powerful. PMJ has the best singers! :)

Great job casting and putting it all together. Would love to see a behind the scenes video on the production and rehearsals and everything!

This sounds like a detective series where the main character is being seduced in a bar while having memories of his deceased wife that wanted him not to get too involved in his job and seek divorce.

Just the perfect amount of finger snapping and bass plucking to make this masterpiece

she can literally scream at me and i'd thank her. i love her voice so much. 🥺

they should do Hit the Road Jack

This makes me feel like I need to be wearing a long black trench coat finishing up a glass of scotch at my favorite dive bar and then putting on my hat, adjusting the coat against the weather, exiting the bar into the cold rain, and walking down the street while my own voice over informs the audience about my worries about solving this case before I get myself killed and how sad I am about the love of my life leaving me, all in black and white

The fact that she's not standing in the middle of the carpet makes me want to cry

Wooooowwwwww! Love her deep, vibrant tone and the jazzy remix. Still makes it upbeat for the rings as her rendition ends on the 'I got over you' tone. P.S. Also love that she owns her model-like height, and gives Princess Diana, Leslie Caron, and Jane Russell vibes all at once! 😍

Wow this is a classic. Right up there with the Creep cover.

After 50 years of looking at the world tonight listening and admiring her performance along with the crew it’s a memory to remember dearly.

I believe you've hypnotised me, Ms. Gill.

Hannah Gill is my favorite PMJ singer. She has this character and expressiveness that is just...different and very touching.

Came for the music, stayed for the succulent, sizzling, scintillating brass and bass.

Wow! 10/10 Hannah has done it for me!Scott's delicate notes first enter,the brass comes to the front,and her voice's tonality rises to a crescendo,creates a sophisticated scene. Bravo!

Wow. Hannah's got quite a voice.

I was completely attractted by her performance. Her voice, her gestures, and the song itself. It was truly AMAZING!!!

Wow, PMJ has such a deep bench when it comes to talent! Beautiful, soulful remake.

Her voice is beautiful and perfect for the style of this cover. Also jazz makes this song sound 100x more shady and I love it.

as soon as I heard the first words, I scrame. Amazing voice!!!! I can't get over her!!!

Hannah Gill is my fave of all the vocalists of PMJ... voice smooth as silk! Love this version Scott - you're a musical genius!

I’ll continue what Anon E. Mousse wrote somewhere in the comments. The dame tutted her lips, watching him take a draw of his cigarette. “You do the same.” He glanced up at her curiously, in which she trailed her fingertips along his desk to his couch, never sitting next to him. “You remind me of somebody I used to know.” Taking out her purse, she took a picture and slid it towards him. “Tell me if you know them.”

nice video.. rất tuyệt vời

Hannah may be one of my favorite singers y'all have ever had! Love this!

Man, that opening 40 seconds is fantastic! So understated and powerful!

I'm glad you waited so long to do this one, when the memory of it being so overplayed is faded. It's a great song, and your arrangement is perfect, and Hannah sounds so lovely!

I just saw PMJ live at the Joy Theater in New Orleans and Hannah Gill is FREAKING AMAZING! 😍😍😍😍 I took my son and we were/still are astonished by her voice, her beauty, and her grace. What a lovely angel!

Her voice is like super magical. Wow.

her voice is really something special,her movements are captivating. she's fkn magic

Hannah’s voice is silky suave perfection

I swear just jazz everything and I'm bound to fall for it

Wow her voice is so different and beautiful. I could literally listen all day

god ,god god, Iam in love, always loved her, but the way she smiles, my god with that lower voice, so great thank you, keepin the faith for us jazzies, thank

I'm like sooòoo obsessed with this amazing singer!

I listen to a lot of old music in this style. This is spot on and her voice is golden.

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 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 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 (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 nursed the drink, my limbs drooping as the lyrics sank into my skin. Many young men around me were drinking alcohol like water and that bad habit reminded me of him. But he’s gone. Somebody that I used to know.

The original is one of the few songs from the last 30 years I actually like. But this version is even better.

Voice so buttery I have developed and been crippled by lactose intolerance, arrangement so smooth I broke me leg from slipping, and everything so sweet I am now diabetic

That melismatic line at 3:14 ... I felt that in my bones.

I once hated this song. I still do, but this version of it changed how I view everything. Thank you PMJ

Her voice is GORGEOUS!!!

Man...this is the best cover i've seen. That's magic

The melancholy genre is the best suited for PMJ. It grows to something bigger.

Love her voice! Great stage presence too! 😍

Wow! Great music and voice. Your arrangements and the skill you have to match the voice to the music is what make all your songs great.

Imagine if Haley did a cover of this song Not that Hannah’s version isn’t beautiful, I just think the growl of Haley’s voice and her somber intonations would really bring out the heart of this song.

This is going up there with my top favorite songs you guys and gals have done. Bravo

Her voice is so beautiful.

This sounds like it belongs in a Fallout game...

I love Hannah Gill‘s voice and I absolutely adored her EP with The Hours. She works perfectly with this song.

Ooh, I adore the style and personality within this performance! Let's just say that Hannah Gill has a new fan. My only quibble is that I feel like one of the appeals of the song is lost with it performed as a solo instead of a duet, since the interplay between the two characters feels less obvious. Nevertheless, it's a great listen!

perfect. Just like watching a movie. Her expression, Her voice, the Performance of every musician there. PERFECT!

What a voice! What a voice! WHAT A VOICE!

@Hannah's voice is so clear and dark in the same time! Her voice can fill an elephant's soul (LOL) how big it is!!! It's hypnotizing, I recently discovered this phenomenal tone of voice! Keep jazzing Girl!

hannah is so elegant and i love her voice

The Refrain is so amazing!

This is so so beautiful!! Well done everyone

We want to hear more from Hannah Gill. Bring her back for more, please! Her voice is just mesmerizing.

This now has a special place in my heart. A good memory Watering my crops The original starts playing "You know this song?" My brother asked "I used to"

I don’t remember the 40’s very well (I wasn’t born yet) but this really takes me back to those days

The only problem I have with this is that it loses the feeling that it's two people sharing different sides of the same relationship. In the original, it gives the idea that Gotye is complaining about how he got cut off from the person after the relationship ended, and Kimbra was the girlfriend explaining WHY he got cut off (you screwed me over, you lied, you made me think it was my fault, etc.). The climax of her saying "You said that you could let it go / And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know" ties the whole argument together, revealing that even THIS SONG is a continuation of his lies. It's really interesting, and I think it's a shame that it was lost with the use of only one vocalist because Hannah Gill is absolutely astounding here.

This song is legit perfect for this kind of Style of music, And i love both the Music and Original Song

Her voice is magic❤😭👌👏👏

omg her voice

Socorro, eu não consigo parar de voltar para esse vídeo quase todos os dias, haha.

I demand that she sing more stuff for PMJ. I looooove her deeper voice. It's so wonderful!

This reminds me so much of the first Bioshock game, absolutely gorgeous cover!! I heard that Scott Bradlee did some of the music for Bioshock Infinite, hopefully he’ll be in charge of the Bioshock 4 soundtrack too

I never tire of this song.

This is so awesome. She is so awesome. The whole thing is just beautiful

OMG that voice. That look. What an arrangement, what a performance. Wowser

No puedo describir su voz con más que "un baño al alma de malas vibras" es hermosaaaaa

I think she has my favorite voice on the channel. She’s fantastic. Really love her

Me throughout the video: "OHHHH GOD YES." Also, yoooou should do a Poppy song. Lowlife, particularly.

the drummers smile makes me smile.
