I had tender feelings that you made hard
But it's your heart, not mine, that's scarred
So when I go home I'll be happy to go
You're just somebody that I used to know
You don't need my help anymore
It's all now to you, there ain't no before
Now that you're big enough to run your own show
You're just somebody that I used to know
I watched you deal in a dying day
And throw the living past away
So you can be sure that you're in control
You're just somebody that I used to know
I know you don't think you did me wrong
And I can't stay this way for long
Keeping ahold of what you just let go
You're just somebody that I used to know
The lyrics SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW of ELLIOTT SMITH is also present in the album Figure 8 (2000)
Elliott Smith, pseudonimo di Steven Paul Smith (1969-2003), è stato un cantautore e musicista statunitense noto per la sua musica introspettiva e malinconica. Nato a Omaha, Nebraska, Smith si trasferì in Oregon durante l'adolescenza, dove iniziò a suonare la chitarra e comporre canzoni. Nel 1994 pubblicò il suo album di debutto "Roman Candle", seguito da altri successi come "Either/Or" (1997) e "XO" (2000). La sua musica, caratterizzata da melodie delicate, arrangiamenti minimalisti e testi introspettivi che esploravano temi di depressione, solitudine e perdita, ha conquistato un seguito di appassionati in tutto il mondo. Smith è stato anche noto per le sue collaborazioni con altri artisti, tra cui The Decemberists e Beck. La sua tragica morte nel 2003 a causa di un'overdose di farmaci ha lasciato un vuoto nel panorama musicale indie americano. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi ricordiamo "Between the Bars", "Needle in the Hay" e "Waltz #2".
