My New Obsession - Gotye

Gotye (pronounced Go-te-yae) , is a Beligian-Austalian multi-instrumental musician and singer-songwriter and I'm so in love with him right now. He's with Kimbra , a New Zealand singer-songwriter in this track titled Somebody That I Used To Know.


This song releases all sorts of weird emotions out of me and somehow makes me really sad, in an enjoyable kind of way. Ever enjoyed feeling sad? It makes me feel like that!
Pathetic I know, but that's what it does.

No matter what I'm doing, as soon as it comes on... everything else disappears into nothingness and it takes centre stage!
When Kimbra's verse comes on... Oh when Kimbra sings her verse! Oh! My! Freak!
I love this song and could actually listen to it all day, but I won't. You know what they say about too much of a good thing.
The video is the icing on the cake, beautifully shot and creatively executed.

Here are the lyrics below. I hope it makes you feel what I feel when I listen to it.. yes.. sad!
It's an enjoyable sadness!
Enjoy!


 Somebody That I Used To Know
ft Kimbra



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 it 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

[Kimbra:]
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

[Gotye:]
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it 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
And 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

[x2]
Somebody
(I used to know)
Somebody
(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

(I used to know)
(That I used to know)
(I used to know)
Somebody<
