Los álbumes que ha publicado Gotye, son: Boardface (2003), Like Drawing Blood (2006), Making Mirrors (2011) y Mixed Blood (2011).
En general, nada digno de destacar, pero despues de diez años de profesión, de pronto llega el éxito, y algo tendrá la citada canción, que interpreta con la cantante Kimbra. La canción es moderna, pero la grabación adolece de un sonido imperfecto, con su voz atenuada y poco clara. De todas maneras, siempre cuesta un poco acostumbrarse a las voces nuevas. Asi que la he incluido, temporalmente, en el playlist de mi blog, para poder oirla varias veces más.

Ahora publico la letra, para poder entender algo la canción.
Somebody That I Used To Know
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I 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 kinda 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 it like it never happened and that we were nothing
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
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
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believin it was always something that I'd done
But 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-oh-oh
But you didn't have cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing (oh)
I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
and that feels so rough
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I 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 kinda sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end

I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger

Somebody that I used to know
Somebody (now your just somebody that I used to know)
That I used to know
Somebody that I used to know
Somebody (somebody) (now your just somebody that I used to know)
That I used to know
I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know
Somebody
