  • Plus one for the karnivool cover

  • OK FAJNE ALE PSYCHODELIK JAK DLA MNIE...

  • grateful for intelligently fun acoustic stimuli to a rhythmic beat...

  • @chimomccoy so many eargasms!!!

  • Unbelievable, what a song! I'm not a big fan of the intermezzos at 2:20 and 4:40, but other than that, this is a masterpiece!!!

  • I think Gotye loves it to work with colors :)

  • I almost think Jackson Pollock would clench his jaw in envy...

  • Jetzt n Jonny!!! :)

  • i cant get enough of it !!! wooooooooow amaziiiiing !! supernatural sounds wounderfull video! absolute art!!!

  • YYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS­!

  • saw him live yesterday, it was the second time I saw him but MAN HE'S A FRIKKIN GENIOUS!

  • Beautiful video indeed

  • I can see this being the opening track for a Ocean's Fourteen :3

  • Wow this video is mesmerizing *.* <3

  • Karnivool do an awesome cover of this song.. better then this original in my opinion

  • to awesome for my likings.

  • I especially love that this song is all about the inevitability of death. So few artists have the courage to address such an important topic.

  • I was just looking for a slow chill song and type in google "only way".. i hasn't expected such a beautiful and deep song!!

    i know what i'll hear if i would take some mushrooms *-* GOTYE!

  • Congrats for this video! It definitely looks great!

    And the music is something you can't miss... thumbs up! :)

  • Heey!! Can someone tell me what the instrument is that you hear right at the start, I heard it somewhere before but couldn't identify it. xx

  • This song causes me to totally drift.... I cant decide which is better this version or Karnivools.... Credit to these guys for writing the song but both versions are different and totally awesome.... this song makes the hairs on my neck stand up.. i love it.

  • I have got to watch this when I'm stoned.

  • Comment removed

  • haha damn karnivool owned this song times a million

  • ishasmario - lol!!

  • Would have been better with a camel marching through the desert.

  • @ihasmario watch?v=g-exOkSRgQY

  • I've ALWAYS loved the videos of Gotye, they are so creative and abstract. It's just a thing that i love, along with their music

  • kocham tą piosenkę<333333

  • To be honest, this sounds very similar to the Karnivool cover to me. Except just without the electric guitar. Karnivool hardly changed anything

  • looooove this video.

     loooove!

  • insane video

  • NICE VIDEO! ö

  • I LOVE this video! I really, really cannot say how much I adore this thing... it's inspiring, it's a FANTASTIC song and it fits it perfectly, whenever I am uninspired and feeling grey and white, I watch this video....! I know i sound very corny, but this is phenomenal work.

  • Awesome!!!

  • karnivool version rocks

  • Karnivool have a talent of taking songs outside the rock genre and adapting them to suit a new audience. It is a testiment to their skills as arangers not to the quality of the original. That said, I agree with you.

  • Wow... 7 negative votes. I didnt say it was a shit song, i said it was the worst "out of all that they play". I think this was just an experimental venture that, though successful in displaying their talent as musicians, doesnt really reflect thier writing capabilities.

  • This is true. Lyrically it is no where near what they can produce in my opinion. musically though, i feel their arangement helps to emphasise their skill. Any cover that a band does will never reflect their writting capabilities for the pure fact that they didnt write the song, so really...the comment is superfluous.

  • bring forth images of 1960s opium filled days in paris

  • Fantastic vid..

    Simple things can make something so beautiful..

    X

  • I really don't like Karnivool's cover of the song as much as the original. It gets rid of the mysterious feel to it.

  • its a completely different feel ay.. i still love em both as much as each otha i guess

  • whats this with Karnivool doing something with gotye or something

  • Karnivool covered this song. its much better than the original.

  • nobody wants to know...

  • I know, but I just couldn't resist

  • Haha omg girl, you rock xD

  • sick

  • LOL, AWESOME!!!

  • Gotye's music and film clip are both alternative! Fantastic!

  • Hey I think he used this at laneway festival in melbourne...and acknowledged the maker...? Or was I tripping.

  • maker is aussie based, dork film, of which mr SIMKIN here is a memeber

  • how is this video made??!?! i'v been trying to create similar for graphic project but can't figure it out...it can't be jus water and colouring-both aqueous, same density so they just blend. is it syrup or something? please tell me the secret!!! :)

  • i was gunna suggest oil or something similar but that bubbles doesnt it?

  • yea. does look cool tho. jus not like the video. but i did figure it out. LIGHT BOX. you just need the light to shine through. otherwise the colours appear t blend and you can't see them properly. seems my science was off with the whole 'aqueous' idea. but thanks for the reply

  • ahhh i see, yeah makes sense.

  • whoa dude......that's like....fucking trippy bro. Food coloring in water...not my idea of a music video, but the song is awesome

  • awesome work - is good enough to be the actual music video to this song. I dig the beat in this song too.

  • great video clip ! it fitted so well

  • That was so cool. I was being hypnotised. The colours are pretty.

  • Fascinating. This is probably the first song where i hardly heard the music, instead i was just mesmerised by the video art. It reminds me of something Coke should use for a marketing ad. Especially the coloured bits.

  • Thats exactly what i thought! :P Coke adds.. but this is way better. More colours. :)

  • well I know nothing about video art but that looked just amazing.

  • he's such a pothead... i love him :)

  • brilliant ! im speechless !

  • i love this!!!!!!!!

  • haha good job the songs ordinary but the film clips sweet... it'd go well with some queens of the stone age stuff aswell

  • awesome work,hella creative:)keep it up

  • OMG! This blows my mind! Exceptional work! Very well done! I want this as my screensaver!

  • This is brilliant mate..thanks for posting!

  • awesome. wish i could hang it on my wall.

  • Nice work Jake. Looked fucken mint at the concert. :)

  • this is awesome, just got back from the melbourne concert, looked great!

  • really?? wow. it's amazing.

    i'm interested in doing something similar to this for my art major soon. i've got an idea how to do it but are there any good tips you can give me? hehe

  • alot of time trying out new things in final cut. I painted my roof black so i could make the smoke swirl better. The inks are food dye in a water tank. super imposing elements. dropping food dye into oil on a baking dish. better to email me huh?

  • @metheloser check out the opening scenes from the new antonio bandaras movie "The Big Bang" theres a heap of amazing visuals like these

  • this is my video art i did for the gotye concert? i have the others but they will put them up in due time. i needed to put this up for a artist application

  • How did you get into doing art for gotye?

    Personally know him? or have you done art for similar tours with other Australian musicians?

    Would be really cool to know how you got into this kinda work, i myself am studying multimedia and this sort of stuff has always fascinated me :)

  • hey where did you find this??  do you know who directed it? do you have any of the other video art? :)

  • you can also check it out on the karnivool mysapce

  • karnivool version is on "mixed blood" the remix cd

  • @jakesimkin Karnivool version is soooooo good :)

  • Amazing song does anyone know where the karnivool version is?
