And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

Artist: Gotye featuring Kimbra
Song of the day: Somebody that I used to know

So reflecting over a year of music blogging, my favorite part about having a blog is shockingly not an outlet for my own psychosis in song, but the bundle of new songs I've been introduced to while on my music of the day hunt, but also from people who know my passion for good music and keep introducing me to better and better things. The most recent came from my friend Tim in today's song. I not only appreciate the use of curly hair, body paint and a good duet, but the power of angst and art mixed together. These two artist make it work seamlessly and caused me to become instantly obsessed. Which is everything I look for in new artists so keep sending them my way!

One thing that has become hardest growing up is the people in your life, how they form so much of who you are but time changes you move away or move on and the people you were once so close to, who once knew you better than you knew yourself can become just people that you used to know. It took me a while and several moves to realize this and perhaps is a big reason why I became reluctant to move again so soon. It makes me want to live more in the here and now and appreciate what/who i have currently in my life, before I have to go and cover myself in paint to get over them. If you're in need of a paint job, this one's for you.





[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 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
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
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
