Gotye被网友亲切的称为锅贴哥
Gotye的这首《Somebody That I Used to Know》,无论是个歌词和旋律都很喜欢!我觉得歌名翻译成《最熟悉的陌生人》比较贴切,当然也有人很搞笑地把它直译成《有些人用过了才知道》。竟然找到了视频,和大家分享如下:
Gotye,(中译名:哥太)原名Wouter De Backer ,出生于1980年5月21日,比利时裔澳大利亚人,艺名Gotye,是一名乐器家、唱作人。
Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra)
歌词:
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
Gotye在1980年出生于比利时的Bruges,在他两岁的时候,全家移居
Gotye到了澳大利亚墨尔本。在他上学时,他的父母选择Walter作为Gotye的名字。
在很小的时候,Gotye就表现出了对音乐的热情,开始学习各种乐器,尤其喜欢钢琴还有鼓。在他少年时期,Gotye和他的3个高中好友组成了乐队Downstares,Gotye是乐队的主要创作人,他们的音乐反应出Gotye喜欢的音乐家Depeche Mode和Kate Bush对他的影响。
在高中毕业后,Downstares的成员开始四处分离。在2001年,Gotye的父母搬家,在Victoria的Montmorency留下一座房子以便让Gotye完成学业。Gotye的两个朋友住了进来,这座房子也被亲切的称为“The Frat House",Gotye的朋友时常的会来这座房子拜访或者留宿,终于,Gotye又可以继续他们的音乐梦想了。Gotye的音乐之梦始于他收到的一堆录音带——他的一个老邻居的已经去世了的太太,在这些年中录制的他们乐队的排练时的录音带。
