Cover art for Somebody That I Used To Know lyrics by Gotye

I am in love with this song. The film clip is something special, too. Kimbra's voice complements Gotye's perfectly. The chorus is so heart-wrenching and full of emotion. If this is any indication of what the rest of Gotye's upcoming album is going to be like, then I'll be one happy fan!

My Opinion

Agreed. I too am in love with this song. On it's own it is an amazing song, and with the video clip it is incredibly moving. This is art.

He's a narcissist, and the pattern represents his "reality". She loses the pattern after she asserts her own moral fiber. It's interesting how at first you sympathize with him, but as the song progresses you realize he's not the victim.
