Wow, Gotye has some serious stage fright issues. I'm affected in the same way when preforming like this. He needs to work on that, then he will be able to put his voice at full potential.
This is a great song, but the video is a little weird for my taste. I have a song up on my page, that samples this, and is something like my own remix/cover to it. If you like to hear music from young talented artist, then you should check me out, I don't think you'll be used to it. Check it out on my page please, or just search "J-hunt da Prodigy Used To Know". Thanks in advance to anyone who does!
breakup songs are awesome. That's when writers tend to have real passion and write honest and powerful lyrics. Look at Alanis Morrisette with Jagged Little pill and Adele with her various songs. Even Rihanna with her break up - and the list goes on. Much better then the pop bullshit passing for music these days
Are they British because they sound it!! And that music is not the type I go for but I do love this song cause it's different! Thank you for uploading this! Xx :)
@camerontcu I thought it was Sting the first time I heard it on the radio. But yeah he sounds like Phil, Sting, and Peter Gabriel somehow had their voices combined into one. In short he has an awesome voice.
All of u don't know about singing u know how hard it is for a male singer to go very high pitch? I bet he was singing like that because of stress and shit like this because he wasnt many times on live he is not experienced
@JoseValenzuelaTV Are you even LISTENING to his voice when he's supposed to go high? No wonder it didn't sound natural at all when I heard it in the studio version. It was pitch corrected! Those notes are not in his range at ALL! he's struggling to reach them, not breathing properly, and as a result isn't using his head voice to sing them. He's using his next which makes it sound tense and bad. HORRIBLE technique on his part. Kimbra was alright here I guess.
@brianggj how are you a massive cunt? Two questions with simple answers, he is a singer because he is incredibly gifted vocally and you are a massive cunt because you are an incredibly fat female genitalia.
I love how he reminds me that music is a part of art ;) we often forget the art of music. He brings it back with great chemistry. Honestly, when I first time listened to this music I was like:"wtf?! How come this s*** be one of top songs on iTunes!?!" SMH . But after I listen it over and over again, I really love it-3 he's different
no it's not good live.. when he hits the high notes for the first time.. oh dear it;s all off key D: really bad :( Kind of a let down actually :( I'll just listen to eh GOOD AMAZING 81 MILLION HITS real decent video with and amazing song to it that is in tune :) Love Gotye, but this is bad live... :(
@CupcakeGalLurvRupert Yeah I didn't think this performance was great. Not bad but 'ok'. Then I watched KCRW, and thought it was 'quite good'. But then I watched Jimmy Kemmil and thought that was fantastic. So maybe they improve each time they perform as they become more familiar with their vocals in this particular song. :)
@MelEnvision Oh i'll have to check it out, i kind of watched this and though.. "oh it's terrible, won't bother watching another one as i didn't want to be further disappointed :(" He should have sorted the vocals out before though! Idek... He gets nervous i think because there are so many feelings and emotions int he song and it's actually hard fro him to express them through his voice because it is a rather deep song which is heart felt :') I like to think of it that way not "oh he's shit live"
This is a great song, It reminds me of the owner of the company that fired me after 23 years of loyal service. Thanks Phil S...somebody I used to know.. your money will keep you warm at night...
I love this song so much, it reminds me of my ex. I found it by looking up a bunch of stuff on how to get your ex back and I eventually found “Surviving a breakup: Getting Back Your Ex For Good” on Amazon. It helped me to get back the love of my life. It worked for me and I am happy to have found it. Anyway, I <3 this track so much.
@PurplePixie005 (hope that's right) I totally agree, his voice is powerful and such power from the flawless harmonising of the voices is just the icing on the cake. I can't help but feel something when I hear that.
I also love the on stage visual effects, wicked cool. X D
He has one of the most powerful strong voices I have ever heard, he can move most people's feelings with that voice this song means so much it gives me shivers every time I watch it.
I normally don't like thin guys...n he's not good looking...but FOR SOME REASON I FIND HIM ATTRACTIVE! and Kimbra, omg...she's BEAUTIFUL! not in this video...but she has something in her that makes her wow.....especially with that voice!
he kind of didn't sing the begining of the chorus well... he's strangling his throat too much... well, not every performance can be perfect :) but still love him and love the song (and the other performances I saw are actually really, really good)
@bigtezza147 I'm neither of those. His voice simply isn't as good live and neither is Kimbra's. They frequently miss notes and the power I heard in the recorded version simply isn't there. This is often the case when an artist has been playing a long set and they're feeling worn out. That's why it's not always a good idea to save your best songs till last.
I actually thought this was a new song by peter gabriel when i heard it on the radio and i liked it and i stilll like it even though its not peter gabriel but gotye.
Kimbra has so much emotion in this 3:14 that look...shivers much
