Gotye about Somebody That I Used To Know

  • 5 jaar geleden
Australian singer-songwriter Wouter de Backer AKA Gotye tells the story behind his hit song Somebody That I Used To Know. "It is a mixture of various reflections on relationships and experiences from over the years. There's an element of fiction in it as well. But what the song ended up being about was a response to a sound: the little guitar riff that starts the song off was the first thing that I found and it had a certain hypnotic pull to it. In response to that I started the very low, kind of reflective melancholic verse lyric."
