addicted to a certain kind of sadness

verbicideSo one of the weird things about me, a thing that I fully enjoy, is my capacity to be totally obsessed with some random thing. Like, frex, a song. And like some brain-damaged teenager, I will listen to it ALL DAY on repeat.
Today that song is Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye. Which is not pronounced Got Yeh, as I sort of hoped, but like Gaultier (Go Tee Yae). (A French variation on Walter, which is the dude's name.)

I fucking love this song--so catchy and depressing at the same time! I think the video is hypnotic. I love his crazy expressions and emoting and how his chest heaves when she's calling him out. His eyes are so pretty. I love his pink skin, his red knobbly knees. And I'm sort of obsessed with his wacky mouth. I love it. It's almost so ugly it's beautiful. I love how he sort of MMMs at points where it doesn't seem like there should be an MMM in singing the lyrics. I want to stick my fingers in his mouth. I'm slightly fixated.
Also, that girl? Is freaking STUNNING. Who gets to look that unreasonably pretty? Did she win the genetics lottery or something? I love all her body freckles, too. Busy Phillips has that going on, and I think it's so cute! Though her name is Kimbra, which makes me think she should be sold on a lingerie rack at Nordstrom and or dating the Lion King.
This is what happens when we stay up past our bedtimes, people. The crazy gets out of the box and splatters across LJ.
