Description “Now and then I think of when we were together,
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die.
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company,
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember.

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end.
So when we found that we could not make sense,
Well, you said that we’d still be friends,
But I’ll admit that I was glad that it was over.

But you didn’t have to cut me off,
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing.
And I don’t even need your love,
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough.
No, you didn’t have to stoop so low,
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number.
I guess that I don’t need that, though:
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know.
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know.
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know.

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I’d done.
And I don’t wanna live that way,
Reading into every word you say.
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody you used to know.

But you didn’t have to cut me off,
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing.
And I don’t even need your love,
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough.
No, you didn’t have to stoop so low,
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number.
I guess that I don’t need that, though:
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know.
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know.
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know.
Somebody that I used to know,
Somebody that I used to know,
Somebody that I used to know.”

[ Somebody That I Used To Know – Within Temptation ]


Alas, this is the last photo from the shoot with Tuur and my personal favourite out of this session. I focussed on this song (I mean, the cover by Within Temptation, whose emotional impact I like much better, it’s far more bitter) while shooting and directing Tuur, and once again I tried to convey its feelings while taking a nice fashion portrait. I really do hope yu like it as much as I do.
Taken in Antwerp, Belgium.

Relationships like seasons change
The come and go in turn
And the feelings that come with them range
From joy, to rage, to scorn

And if you wish to make them last
Then go not to fast or slow
Or they'll become a part of your past
As somebody that you used to know

I like the lyrics to this song. I imagine a different visual for it, though your representation is also nice. I must admit, this model's stare is simply penetrating. I can't explain why, but when I saw this photo, I thought of the words:
dark
disconcerting
smooth
haunting
warm & cold

Perhaps you had in mind the original song? There is a quite big difference in the mood of the two versions, even though the lyrics are the same. Anyways, I'm really glad you think so, as those were the emotions I wanted him to portray with his look and attitude!
