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 :*

One Republic: All fall down

Tem como não adorar OneRepublic?
A voz do cantor, o violino perfeito, as letras que acertam direto no ponto fraco...
Anyway, tô viciada nessa música deles! Ainda acho que escreveram pra mim :P

Abaixo, letra e música via youtube.

OneRepublic - All fall down

Step out the door and it feels like rain
That's the sound, that's the sound, on your window pane
Take to the streets but you can't ignore
That's the sound, that's the sound, you're waiting for

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That's when you'll find me

Yeah, God love your soul and your aching bones
Take a breath, take a step, meet me down below
Everyone's the same
Our fingers to our toes
We just can't get a ride
But we're on the road

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That's when you'll find me

Yeah, lost 'till you found
Swim 'till you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love 'till you hate
Jump 'till you break
Know that we all fall down

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
If ever your world starts crashing down
That's when you'll find, find me

Lost 'till you found
Swim 'till you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love 'till you hate
Jump 'till you break
Know that we all fall down

All fall down, we all fall down, all fall down..
We all fall down, we all fall down, all fall down..

Lost 'till you found
Swim 'till you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love 'till you hate
Jump 'till you break
Know that we all fall down

Now playing: Someone Like You

Eu não sou aquela pessoa viciada em música, sabe? Que curte ouvir a todo momento, que procura sempre novidades... Não gosto de trabalhar/estudar/ler/navergar na internet com o som ligado, acho que fazer qualquer uma dessas coisas ouvindo música meio que me desconcentra. Na verdade, no dia-a-dia, só ouço (e curto) música mesmo no carro. Meu iPod, coitado, já foi rebaixado à categoria "HD Externo Improvisado" a muito tempo.

Mas enfim, essa enrolada todinha para dizer que eu, apesar de não ter o hábito de ouvir música, ando ouvindo uma música quase que no repeat e, quando fora do carro, canto ela na minha cabeça o dia todo. O pobre do namorado já cansou dela e deve estar arrependido de ter me mostrado.

Eu tô falando da música "Someone Like You", da Adele. Liiiiiiiiinda!
Ela é modinha agora, né? Pff, ignoremos esse fato.
Preciso dizer que toda vez que a ouço me dá um aperto no peito, meio que uma tristezinha, melancolia, sei lá. Mas mesmo assim insisto, primeiro porque eu tenho o coração mole mesmo e não sou nenhum referencial, segundo porque é incrível a voz dessa mulher! Suave, afinada SEMPRE, vai da voz normal para a extremamente fina do nada, e sem o mínimo problema, sem o mínimo deslize, sem desafinar/fazer feio. Coitada de mim tentando acompanhá-la, já assassinei a música tantas vezes que perdi a conta.
Enfim, tá na minha playlist forever até eu abusar.

Abaixo, letra e vídeo.

Someone Like You

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you

Old friend
Why are you so shy
It ain't like you to hold back
Or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

You'd know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summery haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over yet

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes they're memories made
Who would have known how bitter-sweet this would taste

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah, yeah
