Somebody That I Used to Know

Posted on February 17, 2012October 29, 2015 By Doriano No Comments on Somebody That I Used to Know

I just can’t get enough of “Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye and Kimbra. It’s currently a big smash all over the world reaching number one in several countries including the UK. The weird thing is that most people in the USA didn’t hear it from him first but instead by another artist called Walk Off the Earth which did an interesting version which went viral because of the unique music video that had all five members playing one guitar.

Here’s the original version by Gotye and Kimbra

Here’s the Walk Off the Earth version that went viral

Here’s Gotye talking about the song

“Somebody That I Used To Know”
(feat. Kimbra)

[Gotye:]
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 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

[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 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
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
