OK, so there’s this 5-person ‘band’ that do a lot of covers (and their own music!) who are absolutely AMAZING and I couldn’t resist devoting some blog space to them! I decided that after 24 hours and watching the YouTube video below at least {INSERT A HIGH NUMBER HERE SO I DON’T HAVE TO MAKE MYSELF LOOK BORDERLINE CRAZY} times, and my kids watching it over and over and over, that I just had to spread the WOTE love! And obviously I’m not the only spreader of love – the video below has had almost 19 million hits!

 

Really, not only is it awesome that five people are playing one frickin’ guitar, but their voices, each so individual and distinct, give me chill bumps! And admit it, even though the guy on the far right with the facial hair seems like he’d rather be doing something else, he’s awesome! LOL! His apathetic expressions actually give him personality. I read in the comments somewhere one commenter said, “Guy with the beard for president!” Hell yeah, I totally agree! :-D

This is a cover of a very talented Belgium musician/songwriter named Gotye and it would be in poor taste not to put up his video as well and give him some well-deserved love. But I’m also putting it up because I also love the original version. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.

“Somebody That I Used To Know” is a great song. No doubt about it.

Both artists have definitely made a fan out of me.
