Song title: Heart's a Mess
Artist: Gotye
Year: 2006
Why I like this song:
Somebody I Used to Know may have given Gotye a worldwide hit but I always thought this earlier effort was the better of the two.
This works for me as being a case of: Right Place, Right Time. For much of 2006, I was in a bad way mentally. And this song is indeed emblematic of that time: That string sample, the ghoulish mocking keyboard noise and a chorus that contains the line: "You can't live like this!!!"
Still, if this song is about facing your problems and addressing them, then the good news is that i did just that. And it was indeed a turning point in the decade that was my twenties
