My friend Amanda Achtman in Alberta brought some friends together to assemble this creative video that describes the frustration of many Albertans have with the Natural Governing Party of Alberta, the Alberta Progressive Conservatives.
The song riffs on Gotye’s hit from last summer, Somebody That I Used To Know and the video was produced by Olivier Ballou through donations from young Alberta conservatives.
Lyrics:
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could try
Told myself that you were right for me
Felt progressive in your company
But that was then and after 40 years I still remember
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 you now
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 perks and then start to slumber
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just some party that I used to know
Now you’re just some party that I used to know
Now you’re just some party that I used to know
