Peter Gabriel é inspiração no mega-sucesso de Gotye e Kimbra

MAIS DE 130 MILHÕES DE VISUALIZAÇÕES

A Cachaça da Happy Hour

Os números que essa dupla alcançou no YouTube são estratosféricos para uma única música, coisa difícil de ser batida até por astros como a super-hiper-mega-star Lady Gaga: mais de 130 milhões de visualizações, até agora, em apenas 8 meses desde que foi postado, contando o vídeo oficial e suas repetições. É brincadeira?

Foi esta a proeza do belga radicado na Austrália, Gotye, e sua parceira, a neozelandesa Kimbra, nesta performance de Somebody That I Used To Know. E olha que eles nem eram tão famosos assim. A destacar também as citações ao experimentalista Peter Gabriel de algumas décadas atrás. Quem tem mais de quarenta vai lembrar.

SOMEBODY THAT I USE TO KNOW

Gotye & Kimbra

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…
