*******************************************
Seventeen seconds and I'm over it
Ready for the disconnect
Putting on a brave face
Trying not to listen
to the voices in the back of my head

(But it's alright now)
It's a distant memory baby
(It's alright now)
You know you should just let it go

But some feelings have a habit of persisting
even though you wouldn't let it show

Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
('till I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out


Braindead from boredom
I'm led to distraction
Scratching the surface of life
Nothing really happens
But it's easy to keep busy
When you tell yourself you're traveling right

(But it's alright now)
Was it really worth it baby?
(It's alright now)
Was it just a waste of time?

Keep on second-guessing
Use my memory like a weapon
On everything I try

Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
('till I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out

What is the best way to purchase this album so that Wally De Backer gets the most benefit?

[Vomitorator]

This is a cool little nod to Day Tripper...

[jojo1972ful]

i have been waiting for gotye most of my life all my tastes rolled into one

[Rinkazukathebest]

His voice is really deep mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[BelialCar]

Does this guy steal all his song titles from Elliott Smith?

[leighatkins22]

Too short......... great song, neat rolling bass line, courageous little riff, great vocal texture but too short - I want more!

[JayeJayeBinks]

@Th33vilthing

Did you ever find out which way?

[CoolIizard]

...Wow.

You know, while people keep saying how much they've connected to "Somebody That I Used To Know", I've never quite felt it. Don't get me wrong, it's an absolutely fantastic song, but I can't relate to it very well personally. This, on the other hand... Ouch.

Goyte, you're amazing, pure and simple.

[Mentalitarium]

Wally reminds me a lot of Beck. In some songs, anyway.

He is so good though. It's just crazy.

[gggman1980]

just leaves you wanting for more ......

[LaurenMKennedy]

@Vomitorator That's what I thought exactly! Just that short part of the chorus clicks right in!  Someone should try a mashup :)

[Arrinee]

Little short but nice :D
