Demoted is a parody of the popular “Somebody That I Use To Know’” by Gotye & Kimbra.
Background
Since around late April and early May 2012 the idea was bubbling when the infectious “Somebody That I Used To Know” was making it’s rounds on the internet. Climbing the YouTube Charts, I was inspired and lyrics just started flowing as the theme of a 2v2 Conflict Starcraft 2 song hadn’t really been executed yet. After writing a few lines I had that “itch” to just start recreating the song – just to see if the idea’s would flow. I started with the very basic pattern and recorded some scratch vocals and viola it happened. Later spending many hours fine tuning and getting the core together after programming synths, performing guitar and then the bass licks to match. (not in that particular order)
I knew I personally couldn’t sing the high notes in the song, so I spoke to my good friend Will. He has a killer voice and I love collaborating with him. He was down and had already featured in a few songs I’ve done. (including a previous SC2 one.)
Next was to find the girl to fit the part. At first I struggled, not knowing who I could get when Rebecca volunteered to give it a shot. I was impressed and we rolled with it!
