Mmmm…liver-shaped love.
The ♥ shape has represented a variety of things across different cultures over time, ranging from genitalia to cosmic wisdom; the heart, meanwhile, was an enigmatic organ for most of history, whose biological function was not understood until 1628; and the emotion of love, if associated with flesh instead of mind or spirit, was equally likely to be linked to the eyes, the head, or the liver as to the heart.
From “A Heart-Shaped History,” or how the blood-pumping organ of life became a symbol of love, from Ian Gately at the LQ Roundtable Blog.

Gotye - Somebody I Used to Know (featuring Kimbra)
Sometimes, at tuneage, we accidentally let great music slide past our radar. Allow me to now rectify this mistake and present Gotye’s Somebody That I Used to Know.
I love the Peter Gabriel and 80s pop influence in this song but it’s the music video that really won me over. Unlike the narrative arc within the lyrics, the music video isn’t necessarily trying to tell a story. It emotes and I find it to be at once be enchanting and heartbreaking.
This song has really launched Goyte’s international career and he will even be playing at Coachella in April.
Es nost!!!:)
