音乐-素年锦时

Somebody That I Used To Know - Gotye、Kimbra

《Somebody That I Used to Know》收录自澳大利亚独立歌手歌手Gotye的第三张录音室专辑《Making Mirrors》，单曲邀请新西兰歌手Kimbra作为客座合唱歌手。该单曲在澳大利亚单曲榜上意外的取得了8周冠军的成绩，成为自1997年野人花园的"Truly Madly Deeply"后占领榜首最长的单曲，在欧洲多个国家的排行榜上登顶，在Kimbra的祖国新西兰，该单曲同样成功登顶。在波兰，该单曲占领榜首长达18周，成为波兰单曲榜史上夺得榜首位置时间最长的单曲。2013年（第55届）格莱美奖上获年度最佳制作和最佳流行乐队/组合两项大奖。 2012年的独立音乐在榜单称霸，2013的格莱美独立音乐横扫综合类奖项，唯独Somebody That I Used to Know最为惊艳。它的高潮只有两段，不得不说，Gotye的创作才华和vocal，简直出神入化，女声的合唱也十分有气势，甚至还有些阴暗的愤怒。

歌词（online译本）：

Now and then I think of when we were together

我时不时想起那些我们在一起的日子

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

例如你说你快乐得随时可以死去也不觉得遗憾

Told myself that you were right for me

我告诉自己你就是我的挚爱

But felt so lonely in your company

但你的陪伴却让我倍感孤单

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

但那就是爱让我刻骨铭心难以忘怀

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

你会沉溺于某种独特的伤痛

Like resignation to the end，Always the end

比如其中一方听天由命委曲求全，顺从到底

So when we found that we could not make sense

所以当我们发现两个人在一起毫无意义

Well you said that we would still be friends

你居然说我们还可以做朋友吧

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

而我也承认自己很乐意结束这段感情

But you didn't have to cut me off

可你没必要这样和我一刀两断

Make out like it never happened

好像我们之间什么都没有发生过

And that we were nothing

我们之间从来什么也不是

And I don't even need your love

就算我不需要你的爱

But you treat me like a stranger

可你也不必与我形同陌路

And that feels so rough

这未免也太绝情

You didn't have to stoop so low

你不必如此屈从隐忍

Have your friends collect your records

让朋友来帮你打包行李

And then change your number

然后更换了电话号码

I guess that I don't need that though

我想我也不需要知道它们了

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

现在的你只是我生命中曾经熟悉的一个过客而已

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

偶尔想起那些你把我骗得团团转的日子

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

居然让我相信这一切的错误都在于我

And I don't wanna live that way

我不想再过那样的生活

Reading into every word you say

时刻揣摩你话语中的意思

You said that you could let it go

你说你可以释怀放手

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...

而我也不会让你一直纠缠于某个你曾经熟悉的过客（我）
