Chris C i've seen the official one also but I like the live version at the radio station just because I luv to see Kimbra get into it.

I read Wally's bio and yea he's been around and won some songwriting awards been watching videos of both their music.]]> Opinions and Polls cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/somebody-i-used-to-know/#post-371919 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/somebody-i-used-to-know/#post-371917 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:56:10 +0000

Canadian band Walk Off the Earth]]> Opinions and Polls greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/somebody-i-used-to-know/#post-371917 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/somebody-i-used-to-know/#post-371916 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 10:59:58 +0000
The guy's name is Wally De Backer and he's been around for a while in other bands. He's also in one called The Basics.

The official clip for the song is well worth watching too Somebody That I Used to Know. Wally and Kimbra clad mostly in paint....

A friend of a relative of a friend of mine (that's Australia for you... :wink: ) is apparently his girlfriend. She's a singer too, but not the one in the video. He must be a brave man if he could tell his singer girlfriend that she wasn't going to get to sing that song. :)

Kimbra is an Australian artist though and I think they're both based in Melbourne. There was a feature article on him in Issue 84 of Audio Technology magazine.

Cheers,

But I love this version with Gotye and Kimbra I've listened to a bunch of their music they don't play together except for this and both are awesome.]]> Opinions and Polls cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/somebody-i-used-to-know/#post-371900 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/somebody-i-used-to-know/#post-371899 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:11:19 +0000
I'd never heard this song before this past Monday, when a friend of mine suggested I check out this cover of it:

Thanks for this link to the original artist. Now I've got two terrific versions to serve as templates for an arrangement!
