LYRICS
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...

Those ads sucks tbh
*DEMONETISED FOR NUDITY*
There's something special about listening to songs as an adult when you finally understand what they say cuz you couldn't comprehend the lyrics as a kid.
I get a kick out of a series of videos of people in their 30s and 40s who listened to the music of the 70s and 80s as kids, but are now just taking the time to realize what they've been singing about since childhood. It cracks me up.
My age bracket had me hearing the 70s music as it came out. Listening on old AM radio until about 75, when we first started getting FM. We had the advantage of someone always having the latest albums with the lyrics to all the songs. On rainy days, we would sit and dissect every song until we knew and understood every word. Some stuff still went over our heads. But we'd catch on quick.
Oh what fun times those were.
If you want a true visual, think about Eric's basement on that 70's show. That was a 100% accurate description of friends regularly hanging out at one friend's house.
@@lennychorn147 You ever heard Informer and were like "yeah... no, pass that one" 😂
@@SotGravarg If you're referring to the early 90s rap song. I definitely took a hard pass. Rap as it became in hip hop didn't appeal to me.
There were a lot of off label bands in my youth and young adult years we'd check out. That, Nope, taking a hard pass. Came out on quite a few random picks.
But sometimes you find a raw gem. Going through the off-labell records, is where I discovered Deep Purple. They put out a few great tunes. Several other bands that hit briefly in the charts in the 80s, were found in those off-label bands of the 70s.
@@lennychorn147 My taste of music is more based on 80s and 90s stuff like Bobby Brown, Pet Shop Boys, Whitney Houston, Genesis, Hall & Oates etc.
The only thing adults understand are bills. I hate it.
Anyone in may 2024?
Yeah... somebody's here😂

What are you talking about?
Yes what? I have no idea what you're talking about
Isn't it so weird to think about how this guy is still a living, breathing human? Like, I feel like he just stopped existing.

Gotye is that one online friend who says "See you tomorrow!" and hasn't logged on since for 8 years.
Like those good people who died from known diseases
I had that happen to me.. I still don't where he is it's been 3 years
Well now he's just somebody that you used to know
Know hes just somebody that we used to know
This is his side project he did for fun. He doesn't care about money and performs in his band the basics
3:02 when your bearing your classmate’s stinky ass breath💀
This way too creative for a comment
This song reminds me of a time when things still had a strong feeling, there's not much feeling these days
Strange how we are all just revisiting old songs from years ago...

Because the old songs are quality and sang with purpose not nowadays crap music

thanks for all the likes
@@MrBubbles.. Hello!! I saw the comment: 1 minute ago :)
oof you sound like somebody I used to know, (seriously though, you do.... pun wasn't intended until I realised what I was saying 0-0)
I like when she says, "Now and then, I think of all the times you screwed me over" and he takes a deep breath because he knows it's true and it's hard for him to hear it
Me too. Actually, that part amazes me a lot, since nearly every person I speak to on how I empathize with her story holds him in some sort of innocence that isn't how I hear the whole exchange... Whatever you read into it, it's good they're no longer together.
He became someone we used to know after this banger.

or maybe i was 11 but either way good memories :')
It’s funny how a girl and myself picked this song as out favorite. We’ve sent voice messages when we heard the song playing on radio. We declared to everyone that we will marry one day. It’s been 11 years and now you’re just somebody I used to know.

That paint on his face really brings out his green eyes

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

So when we found that we could not make sense
Well, you said that we would still be friends

… 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
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

Because actually it's not a typical pop song with messed-up lyrics, it has more sense in any way. "Timeless" track that we can identify with even today. Not many productions there can be like this one.
