I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces, fill the places I can't reach

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you, and all you know, and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you yeah

Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you

I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now

Someone like you
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you
Someone like you, somebody

I've been roaming around,
Always looking down to all I see

This is One of those moments in music i'll always remember and come back to when i'm having a bad day amazing and i've heard it a million times and it still gives me goosebumps to this day.

In my opinion, THE best opener out of all the seasons.

this performance IS the highlight of all three seasons...chills every time I listen.

@avafiery I was in the audience that night to see my son Brennan "Sassy" Caldwell of the Whiffenpoofs ("I'm ready now" at 2:25) and it was marvelous to hear this song in person.

Brennan is such a wonderful singer! And comes across like a wonderful person too. You must be super proud of him!

why is God's name would you ever cancel a show like this?

and decide to keep trash XFactor, The Voice and American Idol… I would trade all 3 for this show ffs

@Sylvanus Uzokwe 4 years later and i still agree!

Only reason is because this show was actually about the music and not about the backstories or showmanship. 10 years later this is still amazing.

In my eyes, this is the BEST opening of Season 2. Now that Pitch Slapped and Men of Note were taken out, I can hear the best effects of the 8 remaining groups. And the first crescendo that leads into everyone coming in absolutely BLOWS ME AWAY every single time. Best opening, hands down. Season 1's Under Pressure and Season 3's Sing has nothing on this.

R.I.P. Mr. Jerry Lawson, one of the best of the best!!

Glad to know The Sing Off is coming back Fall of 2013.. This is my favorite performance of all four seasons opener or group. It gives me chills every time.

somehow, the original radio version seems less impressive after hearing this.

Neal Fondren

So good... anyone who is a musician can appreciate how unbelievable the key change was. To get all those peeps to hit that and retain pitch and the key. I can only imagine how the girl felt who had to hit that key change and how worried she was about hitting it. WOW. They're all SO good! I'm in Awe.

I just came here to listen to Jeremy sing "I've been roaming around, always looking down at all I see". This man's voice is crystal!

Kris Pierce

11y↑3

Such an amazing performance. You could tell that almost everyone in that knew that they were singing in one of the most amazing performances they may ever be apart of. They definitely need to invest in the show and blow it up for all it's worth. Stretch the season out, make fan voting a huge roll and keep bringing back Courtney Jensen with a different group each season until she wins!

Adam Hinegardner

Songs like this make me feel fuzzy inside because it's so good.

Thank you so much for putting this up! The opening numbers are much harder to find than the individual group performances, and I was going crazy to see this again!

I love this so much! Ever since I saw this, I've been searching youtube for other good covers of Use Somebody and The Water Boys at the University of Waterloo up in Canada did a sweet cover of Use Somebody too! :)

I keep coming back to this. Such amazing fantastic musicians with little or no electronic correction - it is a rare thing these days. This piece always gives me goose bumps.

Apart from the amazing transition through the key change, which was executed masterfully by Catherine from the backbeats, there is very cool visual that most people missed. the entire upper deck is dark and presumed empty, but then on the downbeat, after Catherine's solo, the rest of the cast springs up for an even more powerful arrival point. Just very cool performance with amazingly talented people! It is a privilege to even hear this work of art. Thank God for ears!

@caldwellj OMG he's your son?! I have quickly become a HUGE Whiffenpoofs fan, it's just a shame this group of guys won't be together after their senior year. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll stay in touch after graduation. You must be so proud! I downloaded "The Whiffenpoof Song" and have it on repeat at work! I hope that money is going toward Brennan's tuition!

Jerry Lawson's "OH YEAH!!!" at 0:53 was what made me go, "OMG, this is awesome."

dqDST1913

11y

The best part about this (aside from the singing--THAT'S a given) is the end, when everyone's looking out at the crowd amazed by the standing O. As if they don't know how really amazing they are and that was.

Jackie Goodall

11y

OMG!! there is just something that happens to me in the pit of my stomach when they sing this song together.OMG!! I love Kings of Leon and this is a beautiful song don't get me wrong, but there is just something so pure about Use Somebody when they sing it accapella like this. They did an awesome job!! Real Music and Real Talent

Teffany Jeremie

11y

im in love with this, esp the lead sing of Committed =]!! sigh, i get chills listening to this.

Jim Caldwell

Absolutely no doubt about it. The key change by Catherine Ricafort of The Backbeats at 2:33 was the highlight of all three seasons of The Sing-Off. So glad I was a member of the studio audience to hear it live. Originally aired on December 8, 2010.

i love the way jerry lawson sings
