歌詞
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
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 I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
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!
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
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
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
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
Somebody - Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody - Now you're just somebody that I used to know
這次想推薦的是經典中的經典,這首《Somebody That I Used To Know》,我其實滿早就聽過這首歌了,那時候還是什麼都不懂的小朋友,偶然電視轉到了介紹美國告示牌排行榜音樂的節目,當時這首伴隨特別MV和奇特的音樂馬上在我心中留下印象,但當時只聽一遍沒留下什麼滿正面的印象,只覺得滿特別的,過了很久之後才回來聽,才發現真的是一首好歌。
這首歌是很典型的分手歌,就是控訴著前任分手就算了何必做得這麼絕,但我覺得這首歌更特別的一點是加入了女方的視角,平衡了前面男方的受害者視角的敘事,我個人認為很多時候感情會散一定不是只有一個人的問題啦,每個人都在用自己的視角編織故事與回憶,來讓自己好像沒這麼不堪,這首歌非常真實的把這種情形呈現,我想除了中毒性的旋律,這種真實也是讓它如此暢銷與廣為流傳的原因吧。
