Bronte Lyrics

Cover art for Bronte lyrics by Gotye

I read an interview where he said this song was inspired by the passing of a family friend's dog--he had been searching through his computer for old musical experimentations he'd given up on, trying to find inspiration for a new song, and he came across an instrumental thread that reminded him of what he thought they must be feeling about the loss of their dog, Bronte. :'(

I had no idea about this. Now that I know his intention for the song, it makes me want to cry :( My childhood best friend (german shepherd) had to be put down so I know what it feels like to lose a pet. This was many years ago now, but the sentiment of the song still rings true today. Beautiful and sad :(
