Somebody That I Used to Know + The Script Mashup

[yoursubtext]

This isn't another Death Cab post (not yet, anyway) but it is about music. I'd like to share what I think are two amazing acoustic covers by Walk off the Earth and Before You Exit. Expect a lot of music-related posts from me this week because I'm so stressed with schoolwork, I need a lot of noise to be both the distraction from and the soundtrack

I LOVE THESE COVERS ; A ; the script always agrees with me, and i've never heard this cover before! downloading this ♥ and is the first band an indie band? the sound (and video!) is very unconventional but i really like it.

they're ear and eye and heart candy hehe. walk off the earth is a cover band! they sell their songs for a dollar a download, i think. their style truly is very unconventional - you should check out their youtube channel. i really like the original twist they put on lmfao's party rock anthem.

oh, and in terms of musical arrangement, their cover of "somebody that i used to know" isn't actually very different from the original by gotye :( but maybe that's why they had this very unusual set-up, haha.

wow, that's unexpected! okay, i'll be checking out their channel for sure. i'm so turned out of the english music scene, but bands like that really interest me :">
heh, that must explain it! gotta admit it was really cool though! for some reason i expected fewer people of the band to be singing because they were all working on the guitar, and they all have gorgeous voices ;_;

HEHE, don't worry bb i'll fill you in occasionally :3 that said, i find it really admirable that you can get so into music in a language you can't speak o: i can appreciate k-pop, j-pop, french music, etc. but my fascination ends at a superficial level, i feel, because i can't get into the meaning of the lyrics.
