#Somebody That I Used To Know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know... 💔

I'm on a duet kick and I'm marvelling about what an amazing song Somebody That I Used to Know is from a narrative perspective. We're told this sad tale about love and we're all sympathizing with this poor man:

And then the girl shows up shouts, "UNRELIABLE NARRATOR!"

The guy tries to get us back, "No wait! This is my pity party! Hear my sad tale again." But he's lost us, we can't see him in the same way again. The spell is broken. And the spell remains broken, you cannot hear the first verse in the same way ever again.

The acting in the music video too, the way he silently accepts her words. The way he flinches as she talks. He was trying to write his own narrative but he can't stand hearing the truth. And he has no new rebuttal, he can't refute her.

Somebody That You Used To Know

[ghoostrash]

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 it was over

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

♫Now you’re just somebody that I used to know♫

So I came up with this idea while drawing that “Good boy” watermour piece! I had music on in the background while drawing when “Somebody That I Used To Know” by Gotye came on (one of my favorite childhood songs ever that I still listen to) and I was like: OMG! This song is literally them???? So I absolutely needed to draw them like in the music video. The colors are supposed to represent DSOTM’s colors, because they really fit the triangle shapes + it is a cool reference :)

Here’s also a version without the body paint
