Same fakeout song, but For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica
Huh. Odd amount of songs open with unaccompanied bells.

It's so funny she didn't wanna release it properly but then it blew up through no real effort of her own years down the line and people kept asking her to do a proper version over and over. So she did what people wanted and now people won't stop giving her shit for it. You really can't win with the internet nowadays
I've seen so many people saying that the reason they hate it so much is cos it's overused on tiktok and stuff. Ok so...is that her fault? It's also funny that people complain she didn't do anything different with the instrumentation when the Gotye original's is him sampling a song from the 60s and actually making it far simpler and less interesting

So... its distinct from the sample origin and stands as its own thing? Which is what people have a problem with the new song not doing?
knowone -2 points a year ago
Yes but as I say he made it far simpler and less interesting. So it's not like he's gone on and done some great musicianship with it. It's as close to just doing the same thing whilst still doing something that's it's own thing as can be. People are acting like she's taken his instrumentation and ruined it or something when it isn't his, for the most part. And to make it clear I don't think either of those, what Gotye or Doechii did, is a bad thing inherently. I personally like both songs. I don't get why people are so up in arms at her about it

This is kinda irrelevant? I mean that's sampling in general, of course there is no "musicianship" in it, they're playing someone else's music.

Not really, people are saying she's taken his sample, which she did, and made a derivative product which is self-evident from all the people who can't tell the two songs apart until she starts singing, which doesn't apply to the original as it's truly a sample and not the same as the rest of the song.
I personally like both songs. I don’t get why people are so up in arms at her about it
Because hers is unoriginal. Taking a song from the 60s, sampling it, and making something new is one thing. Taking a song built from a sample, and basically just remixing it with your own lyrics, is not as creative or original. That's the issue people take with it.
If you truly only take a sample from a song and build your own thing around it, people are a lot less up in arms about stealing music. See also Vanilla Ice and Under Pressure, where someone did not build enough of their own thing from a sample.
She simply fails the originality test.
knowone -3 points a year ago
Ok so your points boil down to "she wasn't creative with the instrumentation as he was". Even though while yes that is true, he hardly was so to any real degree. She did her own lyrics entirely (which are, in my opinion, a lot more creative than Gotye's) and gave the song a different feel with her delivery. And still, is the fact that Gotye was a bit creative with the instrumentation and she wasn't really a reason to give her so much hate? Let's be real too, most people hating on her don't know Gotye also sampled, they think it's entirely his. It's such a wild thing to get so mad about
Edit: wait I've just realised you said she "stole" it too. She didn't and both Gotye and the guy with the original 60s song are getting a lot of money for it because of it. Also Gotye is getting so many more plays on his song because of Anxiety being released and loads of people being reminded he exists in general

And bring shame to your family as a result.
Just kidding. Like what you like.
nailingjello 21 points a year ago
Had to look up the other song since I hadn't heard it yet. You're not kidding Doechii took the music and just inserted her lyrics. The whole song sounded like Somebody That I Used to Know with her doing bad karaoke.
Swedneck 3 points a year ago
I was gonna say "gotye heavily sampled Seville by Luiz Bonfá", but then i saw that she put in a fucking reference to gotye's music video in her own music video so.. yeah.. that's pretty fucking egregious..

Oh, I see, this is much better than the Gotye song, no wonder people are upset
moakley 4 points a year ago
Gotye sampled it to begin with, so he couldn't sue. He couldn't even make money off the original song for that reason, but he seems pretty chill about stuff like that.
Based on other comments, it sounds like Doechii wasn't trying to release Anxiety as its own song and just made it for fun, and then her fans kept requesting she record a real version of it.
So the story is that some people's hobby is just to hate things.
Swedneck 2 points a year ago
Gotye sampled Seville but it's definitely not the entirety of the song, the first part of Seville was wholesale copied and the rest taken heavy inspiration from.
You can absolutely hear that Somebody that i used to know is based on Seville, but you can also hear that they're clearly distinct songs.

I thought I was going insane, or the radio was playing some weird hackney version to get around copyright. (They have some cover or something of 'I'm Blue' and its tripping me up.)
I fucking hate Anxiety. Especially the shitty rap ending with 'quiet on the set'. Bitch, no-one was talking you attention hog.

So I was obsessively reading this manga about fish with legs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyo
And the bonus manga with the Steven Universe human sized holes in the sides of mountains. This was before Steven Universe as far as I'm aware. ::: spoiler spoiler The holes were not from incubated crystal gems. :::
While my mom was listening to the earlier song OP's talking about on a loop while working out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY
So the two are linked in my head as if the song was used in a trailer for a movie adaption of the manga. It was a while ago, like summer of 2011, but that's what popped in my head the second I saw "Somebody I used to know".
It's weird how both songs have the same intro but the new one sounds relatable. Oh, after watching the full music video for the new one it seems that the new is clearly a homage to the original:

That's cool. I'm glad they made it. They even have the people covered in the background art standing against the wall. =D

I don't get the hate, i think it's a pretty good song ! Better than somebody i used to know
Zgierwoj 7 points a year ago
Its fine to like it, but I can't agree that it's better. STUTK was never that much of a hit for me, but it feels more stylistically focused. To me the rhythm of the vocals and melody are a mismatch in Anxiety - I don't want to argue about this, as this is subjective taste stuff, Ive heard much worse too
