Somebody That I Used To Know

I first heard Walk Off The Earth’s version when it was everywhere online, and it took me a while to realize why it worked so well. Gotye’s original is all restraint and distance—a song about the strangeness of encountering someone from your past. They turned it into something participatory and alive, all those loops building up until the whole thing is a collective stomp. Same song, but where Gotye was examining the feeling, they were inviting you into it.
