Il suo terzo album "Making Mirrors" è appena uscito in Australia ed è subito volato al primo posto.Lui è Wouter De Backer in arte Gotye,cantautore indie-pop 31enne nato in Belgio ma presto trasferitosi nella terra dei canguri.Il primo singolo "Somebody That I Used To Know"(con la 21enne neozelandese Kimbra all'esordio con l'album "Vows" nello stesso periodo) è una mega-hit proprio nei due Paesi a cui è piu' legato.Il brano merita tutto il successo che sta avendo,tocca corde molto profonde(oltre a quelle dell'acustica) ma possiede anche la giusta melodia che passa la prova "fischiettio" alla grande.

TESTO
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...
