Rest in peace Mike „Beard Guy“ Taylor - he is unforgotten and will forever be a part of this amazing cover! These guys inspired me to learn the guitar myself
Just saw a reupload of this and came to find and support the originals! This is incredible! Also, as an adult now this song hits different… having an ex is one thing, or hate and anger is another… but apathy and being “somebody that you used to know” is just… sad. Apathy hits harder than hate. Nothing hurts worse than knowing that someone doesn’t even care enough to hate you. Damn.
This is the first song I watched of there's and loved. But more importantly when I showed someone, I always picked out beard guy's most crucial role in this song that he had. He definitely made it. He will be sadly missed. RIP beard guy
yeah. that flourish on the top of the neck and his background vocals definitely completed the sound. That song won't ever be played quite the same again. RIP Mike Taylor
I know right!? I didn't even know about youtube when this came out, I just knew this was popular for some reason. No grasp on what the internet even was
C'mon Man, you're trippin'. It wasn't ten years ago, it was...well, I mean it was a while ago, but certainly not...(looks up) Motherf***er! No wonder that weird old dude keeps eyeballing me in store windows. 🙃
Today it's been 10 years since this masterpiece of a cover got released! This cover always makes me feel so nostalgic, 2012 was the best time of my life. Life was easy, it feels like the world has changed so much since then. Thank you so much Walk Off The Earth. Your music means a lot to me
After all these years...still the best cover on TH-cam. It both makes me happy thinking about all the success they are having and sad thinking about Mike being gone,
Most heart felt condolences from my family to the Taylor family , the band , all their families and friends. our family saw WOTE at the YMCA Burlington in Dec 2012...where my son and daughter (aged 10 and 8 at the time) were in the front row on the right hand side looking out from the stage in an old archive photograph on their website. After the show all they talked about ( and again last weekend when the sad news broke on local and national Canadian news) was that they had touched the " Beard Guy" ....so very sad...but my kids will remember that night in Burlington long after I'm gone and the rest of their lives for sure.
How on earth can you have so many "lead vocalist" quality vocalists in one band. Amazing. First guy reminds me of my favorite The Eels tracks. The third singer brings back memories of listening to Paramore. Second guy has a so soulful, almost Sting / Police quality. I hope those are complimentary, I love all your voices and this cover so much.
the guy at the right is so hilarious to watch because it looks like hes thinking "Oh I remember those days, those glorious days..... wehn i was a pirate on those adventurous seas...."
It happens extremely rarely to me that I keep going back to a page and watch the video over and over and over. But this video does that for me. Everything is perfect: the ensemble, the way they play, the way they sing, the coordination, the fact that they are onto each other but never hit arms or fingers, that they are all wearing black, that they are very respectful of the song, that they are all good looking but they are not estheticizing the performance, that there are no frills or BS to distract from their act. It's SUPERB!
Watching this 9 years later makes me sad, because almost half the band is gone, the man on the right past, and the man beside him left. Luckily they found a new recruit and their band is still making beautiful music that I 💕
Ok everyone is talking about the girl, the guy in the middle, and the far right and left guy (because yes, they are awesome) But can we please give love the the guy who sang first?! His voice is amazing!!💖💖
Remember when I accidentally stumbled across this in 2012, was completely blown away. Here's to many more years of your absolutely undiluted talent guys.
This is officially the most beautiful thing I've seen on TH-cam. For some reason this brings a large smile on my face. Probably because this song is beautiful already, coupled by 5 beautifully talented people on a single guitar. THANK YOU. Much love from the Philippines.
I found this thanks to Stumleupon byu chance many years ago and I loved it, listend to i many many times. When I later looked up the original I didn't like the original at all comapred to this
Hard to believe it’s been 10 years already. This song was on repeat in my car for weeks after it released. Easily one of my favourite covers. Rest in peace Mike. Gone too soon. ❤️
this song really does take on a whole new meaning when you know mike "beard guy" taylor is gone ... and i did not even get to know him I am sorry for his family's loss
+adriall and luma yes it works but for it to sound right the song must be in the right key. I do it all the time. stroke up on the 3 or 4 highest strings. use a pick.
This is like every school project - the quiet kid who doesnt want to talk to anyone - the hot girl that got paired up with 4 guys - the group leader that tries a bit too hard - the guy who's idea gets stolen by the group leader because he says it louder - the guy that does the absolute minimal amount of work possible
Coming across this old video now, as I go through all your songs. Can not get over just how incredible you all are. LOVE listening and watching too. So entertaining! 🎸
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
If anyone sees this, this is song still feels fresh and is still really special. Time flies and I will never forget this song. The video still holds up!!!!!
Long hair dude’s voice is so processed that I highly doubt what we are hearing comes from these mics. All the other guys voices are too clear to be so far away from the mics. This is a playback, however is nice and creative.
thing is you know, i have never seen anyone but them that does cover songs so flawlessly; never disrespecting the song by trying to stand out too much than the original, yet while also adding their very own unique character and artistry to it. and I'm saying this after years and years of watching so many that does the same covering as them. they're all very talented, yes ofc, but there's something special about this group that separates them from the rest that even if a decade had passed, you'd still remember it.
I still try to observe everything you guys are doing. We got one guy using the guitar body for percussive sound, two high string voices and a low string voice, and even being as creative as using the string portion BEHIND the nut of the guitar. All that while doing vocals and eventually even splitting into harmony. You guys are incredibly creative and talented, so kudos to you all.
If you watched this as a 'kid' you still are one. 8 more years don't make you a big boy son. Give it 30 years of reflection then we'll talk. 8 years LOL, kids.
+Devlin Asiedu No, you misunderstand. Cleaver is a new slang term all the kids are using. Like: "Oh, I love what you've done with your hair, it's so cleaver".
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever come across. I still remember when my music teacher played it for my class in grade 1 or 2. I always come back to this video and it lives up to everything I hope it’ll be every time :)
This is most creative video I had seen many years ago. Re-watch this video, and in memorial of Mike Beard Guy Taylor. This is the first video I saw your guys. Your guys are great !
OMG. Out of trillions of videos on youtube, this is the best so far. I don’t know how and why this was recommended to me but I am so so glad that it was. This is mind blowing.
Crazy to think it's been 12 years since this masterpiece took the internet by storm. Like many people it was the first time I had heard WOTE and I've been an avid fan to this day. Incredibly talented group of musicians. RIP Mike 'Beard Guy'
Now that I watched it again, I realized Gianni's guitar part is so intricate, I admire him even more for doing that WHILE singing that super high part of Gotye. This song is a beast! Even Gotye and Kimbra had a hard time singing it live!
OMG THE GUY ON THE RIGHT IS JUST SICK SICK SICK! THE WAY HE STRAP THOSE STRINGS IS JUST SICK!!! PLUS~ HE'S FACIAL EXPRESSIONS IS JUST PRICELESS :D HAHAHA (i feel bad for laughing) still amazing though! :D love it!

This is wonderful, but the best cover on TH-cam is still that one of Hey Ya.
for me is far better than the "original"
Best cover of this song or best cover of any song? The cover of Sound of Silence by Disturbed is a strong runner up for best cover of any song.

You stole this joke from This is Хорошо
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

Remember watching this when I was a kid...So nostalgic.
Facts. I'll never forget this song
True bro i were always fascinated
If you watched this as a 'kid' you still are one. 8 more years don't make you a big boy son. Give it 30 years of reflection then we'll talk.
8 years LOL, kids.
@@TheMalf1978 haha don't cry. Only bc your a boomer you're toxic
@@TheMalf1978 haha how can i be 8 years old? The cover is 8 years old.. Should i watch it as a baby? I'm 16 years old dumbass.
Good job sarah I remember those days you worked at my parents restaurant. And during your break your wrote song lyrics.
Golden Bestfriend haha lol
are you sure?
RIP to Mike The Beardman Taylor
somehow i remember about this video and then found this 😢😢😢
I remember going nuts about this song in high school. Now my kid is singing "my stupid heart" Time really does fly!
R.I.P mike, he is the bearded guy he stands there like he is going to give you side quest, he is absolutely legendary
F
Legendary forever. How could we forget him ?! 😢
@@pointofnooo 😇🤩🤑🥳🤯🦊🦮🐕🦺🐺🐆
How did he die?
@@JaimeeTyrellhe died in his sleep of natural causes 4 years ago 🥺
When the guy in the middle started singing I got chills 😍
London Beckoned he’s a sabage
When I read this he started singing
It scared me caused he looked so quite u know what I mean
Jesus?
He looks a little like Gotye with beard😂😂
Still listening to this in 2015! Love this! So cleaver! 😊😍
Clever... unlike you, judging by your spelling.
+Devlin Asiedu No, you misunderstand. Cleaver is a new slang term all the kids are using. Like: "Oh, I love what you've done with your hair, it's so cleaver".
+Dick Grayson Wow, really?
+Dick Grayson Yep it's a new thing. #cleaver
+Catherine Boylan Heeeeeeelp me clean up youtuube
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever come across. I still remember when my music teacher played it for my class in grade 1 or 2. I always come back to this video and it lives up to everything I hope it’ll be every time :)
This is most creative video I had seen many years ago. Re-watch this video, and in memorial of Mike Beard Guy Taylor. This is the first video I saw your guys. Your guys are great !
The guy on the right looks like he is a majestic sea captain gazing over everyone.
xD
OMG. Out of trillions of videos on youtube, this is the best so far. I don’t know how and why this was recommended to me but I am so so glad that it was. This is mind blowing.
I agree!
fam there arent even 1 billion vids lol
Crazy to think it's been 12 years since this masterpiece took the internet by storm. Like many people it was the first time I had heard WOTE and I've been an avid fan to this day. Incredibly talented group of musicians. RIP Mike 'Beard Guy'
When the whole squad can play the guitar but you can only afford one
rapi1337 haha
4HorsemenCome Key of Awesome!

Wow so rude. I love this band
Excuse me that is FIRETEAM
The guy on the right looks like he knows all the answers to every possible question in the universe.
NAILED ! :D
We all know, it's 42!
Basically, yeah.

絶対某路チュー野郎から来た人いるでしょww私もだけど()
最初に歌った人どちゃくそ綺麗だし女性めっちゃ美人だし真ん中の人覚醒するしシャリーン(?)の人じわじわくるしパーカッション(?)の人の横顔すき
I didn’t understand a word, but I agree 😂
My Rabbit Died 2 days ago :'(
..
..
Now he's Just Somebunny that I used to know
😂🖒
NO!!! Go to your corner where I buried your bunny
Dammit!!! XD
poor bunbun
This isn't funny, okay? I have traumatic experience about death. My friend just passed away and now he's just somebuddy that I used to know
Now that I watched it again, I realized Gianni's guitar part is so intricate, I admire him even more for doing that WHILE singing that super high part of Gotye. This song is a beast! Even Gotye and Kimbra had a hard time singing it live!
i like the guy on the right, hasn't he the hardest job? ;-P
beard guy..
me too, he is so funny
snitched Snitch That man change sound ever 10 seconds (sorry my english bad)
snitched Snitch he is soooooo chiled
That's Tony, he drives the van :) (watch "The Key of awesome #55")
Im the guy in the right in all my group projects
Logan Browne im the guy in the middle
Logan Browne I'm the one on the left xD
Logan Browne I am usually the plant (just any of them)
Logan Browne lol me to
Logan Browne I love beard guy😁
10 years and still the most impressive cover I've heard
Sullen goth-poet looking guy on the left is my favourite.
He doesn't sing, but I'll bet he could do an awesome beat poem.
rest in peace our beloved "beard guy" you brought light to every single one of your videos.
I am sorry I did not see this earlier. This is really impressive. Great work!
R.I.P. Beard Guy. Gone but never forgotten.
RIP
rip
