Gotye: Somebody That I Used To Know

Conheci essa música por acaso, graças ao meu fiel companheiro de aventuras, Grooveshark, e tô viciadaaaa! Acho engraçado como o ritmo lembra música infantil no início, e como que a atitude do cara da música vai junto na infantilidade.

A letra e o vídeo são pura semiótica... Penso que o vídeo represente aquele velho conceito, que quando a gente se apaixona, meio que criamos uma imagem ideal daquela pessoa, como uma pintura. Mas depois que acaba, a gente vê as true colors da pessoa :P (momento da ressaca moral).

Podia ficar aqui analisando por horas e enchendo o saco de vocês mas vamos logo ao que interessa! Aguentem o primeiro minuto e meio que a música surpreende.

Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know

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 that it was over
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out 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
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
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out 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
Somebody, I used to know
Somebody, now you're just somebody that I used to know
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

Uma salva de palmas pro cantor Gotye (ô nome estranho hein,filho?!) e outra pra produção que deve ter trabalhado muito pra conseguir esse resultado. Mas é uma pena que as outras músicas do álbum não cheguem nem perto do quão viciante essa é.

Bjo bjo :*
