Gotye featuring Kimbra – Somebody that I used to know

Zac! Ascoltata questa mattina ed è già colpo di fulmine!

L’autore è Gotye, un artista belga australiano e la vocalist Kimbra è neo zelandese. Ottimo mix direi…
In Australia evidentemente c’è una buona aria che ispira buona musica: Inxs, Men at Work, ma soprattutto una delle mie passioni dei 17-18 anni: The The. Chi se lo ricorda?

Buon ascolto!

 

 

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
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 and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I’d done
And 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
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

I used to know
That I used to know

Somebody…

100 cose da fare…

Grazie a Ms. Mottola, che ha proposto questo progetto, sto tentando di compilare un elenco di 100 cose che vorrei fare nel 2012. Impegno che si è rivelato difficilissimo: all’inizio dell’anno, pensare a cento cose da fare… per il momento ne ho scritte una ventina e mi sembra di essere terribilmente limitata perchè non me ne vengono in mente altre.

Ecco però il destino correre in mio aiuto e grazie alla rete, e a questo splendido suggerimento di Catia e suo marito (“I sospiri del mio cuore”), ecco un altro obiettivo/desiderio da aggiungere: “Riuscire a vedere tutti i film di Miyazaki”.
