"My seat's been taken by some sunglasses
asking 'bout a scar
and I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
but between the drinks and subtle things
the holes in my apologies
you know I'm trying hard to take it back."
I've heard the Glee version before and I wasn't really into it as I thought. It didn't struck me as much as Gotye's Somebody I Used to Know and it never uplifted me the same way Camera Obscura did. But yesterday, as I was experiencing what I dubbed as "morning traffic from hell" I decided to tune in to the radio instead of listening to my music files.
Surprisingly refreshing, Fun. was playing and it instantly made me smile. Despite the traffic, the heat of the sun (never ride cars without tint) and the annoying on-going construction at a nearby bridge, this song made me smile.
I absolutely love the lines: "I know I gave it to you months ago" and "I know you're trying to forget". There's something about the way the lines are sung that makes my heart leap.
A must hear!
