So, I was at a family function earlier this month, and my awesome nephew, Bronson casually threw out the idea that I should cover Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know". I told him it was a good idea, and later when I thought about it more, I thought it was a great idea, so I decided to do it! This one's for you, Bronson!

This cover features the fantastic Honey Gehring.

A little about me... My name is Jason. I'm a drummer who is learning to play guitar and bass. I grew up singing in choirs, but never lead, so I'm learning that too. I also own and operate a recording studio called Art City Sound. I do all my own engineering. I figured having videos to watch along with the music would be a good idea, so I started making my own videos, too.

To me, music means everything. It has a power to make us feel like nothing else. To a large degree, it defines who I am. I think there is a power in music to uplift, to heal, and to help us be better humans. Music can help give life meaning. It's almost magic.

I'm taking it upon myself to provide as much good, meaningful music as I can to anyone who is willing to listen.

I invite you to visit my website MagicJones.com (link below) and subscribe to my mailing list. I like to take care of people who join by offering free music often. I'm very active on my mailing list and you'll find the best deals there.

Also, this week I uploaded a drum-only video of this song. It's the same song but the video is just the drums being played. You can find that video at the link below.

For this song, I produced and performed everything myself including all arrangement, performance, production, editing, mixing, mastering, and all video editing and production.

Please subscribe if you'd like to see more videos. I really enjoy producing them, and I work on new music every day!

Lyrics:

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
