| Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Can't stop listening to this song. A few months ago I was with someone who promised me that he was over somebody that he used to know. But he hookedup with her and I then I told him i had had enough. When I heard they were in an official relationship not long after I completely cut him off. It's true. I try to pretend like we were nothing and I treat him like a stranger. This is what is interesting about the song. How we think that we know someone so well but then we are hurt so badly that we wonder if we ever knew them that well in the first place. After a night out he text me telling me he was still confused and should never have called us off. This song is definetely a reflection of the cycle of relationships. I love the way in which it is able to show both sides of the story in the one song. Usually a song is biased to one persons interpretation. So proud of australian music right now. |

| Agreed. The song is clever in the way that it sets the audience up to feel sympathetic towards Gotye, but then this realisation that he screwed up shifts out empathy onto Kimbra. I love that Kimbra's response to Gotye's defense is just as powerful without words. | |
