So this song by Gotye and Kimbra is very addictive. I am not a big fan of English music nor do I follow any singers or the chart busters but some songs just grow on you and this is one of those songs, the more you listen to it the more you like it.
Now I am going to write this post in two sections; one explores songs and music and the other based on the line 'somebody that I used to know'
Music is really a mood changer, party starter, soother etc. So if the music is sad one tends to feel dull, lonely. ....
Surprisingly this song is a sad one but the way it is composed one doesnt realize until listening the lyrics. There are few more songs which just grow on you, have pleasant music but then turn out to be sad ones. Now this I have seen only in English songs. I listen to Hindi and Marathi songs too and in both these languages if there is a sad song then the music is ultra sad. I mean just at the beginning of the song you can make out, no guesses there! I mean literally everything is so sad that at least I wouldn't like to listen to those. But in the case of "Somebody ..." that doesn't happen even with sad lyrics this song just grows on and on!
So what I don't understand is if the song is sad why make sad music ? Guess there is a fan following for sad music too....
Now coming back to 'somebody that I used to know'........once we know somebody,we cant unknow that person isn't it? But still it so happens that we fall apart with some people after knowing them, after being friends with them....somethings happen and then those people be the people whom one used to know.
This is sad actually...... shouldn't happen.....
There are few people whom I met became friends/acquaintance with and after sometime for some reason just stopped talking. I wouldn't say that it was entirely their fault.... somewhere may be I acted child-ish may be they did not like some of my actions, may be ......I don't know....all I know is that each one of them is somebody that I used to know!
