  • beck and gorillaz love child

  • Love it! But could make this song a little longer.. maybe more instrumental? 

  • Gotye's, you had me at hello!!.. love his music it's refreshing.

  • im addicted to this song now..

  • @xkillzbillzx your not the only one, I hsve my own playlist for this song just so I can replay it for hours on end.

  • @ODST316 haha awesome idea bro.

  • I don't get it.

  • Great song. Amazing anime.

  • @nathanforst Its not Anime the cartoon's style is called "Dark" or sometimes called "Gritty".

  • sounds like he inadvertantly covered day tripper

    watch?v=jhdPDI9OeY8

  • is this about wasting time being high? it would make sense

  • @AdolescentGameHumor No the uy is crazy and heres voices in ihs head.

  • this is where the new video for this song is.../watch?v=mEpfyBOdKxU&feat­ure=youtu.be

    its a youtube now... .. a lot different.

  • basically his songs are about relationships

  • @Gotyeized Not at all.

  • Why the hell is this song only two minutes long?

  • am i the only one who thinks of Chell when he sees the girl?

  • Like a mouse on a wheel...

  • What do the words mean at the beginning?

  • Why does Gotye always manage to make an excellent cross between like all my favorite artists with each of his songs?

    With this one its very much Beck meets Gorillaz

  • Reminds me of Radio Head

    

  • He is hiding a big secret anout himself that what realy going on!

  • @countingstars12 basically the vid that is playing behind him while he performs :D

  • and tell me again what live visuals are?

  • very gorillaz esk

  • I got a little Mirror's Edge vibe.

    Er...maybe if Mirror's Edge accidentally crossed paths with Gordon Freeman.

  • @Nuathi ah so it's not just me

  • such power!

    Dont know how he delivers such a stunning piece of music!

  • So let me get this straight.. this guy thinks he's running away from the aliens but he is really already captured and is " under the influence" that he is still free.

  • Korea!!! ftw!!!

  • Reminds me of Akira

  • Is there a special reason Korean's used in thie mv? Just very curious and it makes me strangely proud ;) hahah

  • @JYcrlyn Yeah! he sampled a korean intro for this track

  • @mandy4andy98 what song??

  • @christakwon

    Thinking back it was on "State of the Art" track :L not this one ..sorry :(

  • @JYcrlyn there was no specific reason. The character designs ended up looking more Korean than Japanese so we decided to make it Korean themed :) (I Co-Directed it)

  • @DirEddieWhite AWESOME

  • Comment removed

  • why there is hangul in the MV?

  • There's a new clip for this on the triple j website. check it out.

  • 20 people were abducted by aliens.

  • @hotelmario510 that is not good bro. Dont you think everybody kind of needs to know what the hell is going on so this bullshit will stop. I am sure that is why he is telling everybody, it is just unfortunate that most people just think the song does not make sense. Im just saying that kind of sucks... Its cool to feel smarter than most people I guess being awake and all but I sure wish there were more people that were awake. Ya Know?

  • @nILLBMSQ actually it makes perfect sense. He is talking about a lot of conspiracy theories that are probably true right now. Google genetic modification. Anyway I cant explain it too you more than that. Dudes freakin really a genius.

  • haha i love the korean in the beginning even though it does make sense at all

  • Fucking. Epic.

  • fapping makes me have to piss

    

  • @iliketowearglasses please go and share your virginity somewhere else

  • Really reminds me of Cars by Gary Numan

  • @jakeh2110 mmmmm maybe

  • Comment removed

  • Cool

  • Just like it! But it's just 2 minutes long, not enough.. :))) Gotye <3

  • this is my favourite gotye song

  • sound a little like the Beatles

  • @13seankilburn Exactly what I thought lol.

  • @13seankilburn Agreed, cant help hearing Day Tripper at the chorus

  • @13seankilburn sounds a lot like Beck to me ! and I love it

  • @mina75 the beck of a better world for sure! :D I love this so much

  • 16 people took the easy why out lol!

  • At first i favorited this video because i liked the animation and was going to use it as a reference if i ever got to animate, but after watching a few times...i love the song

  • Like this if you thought the girl was faith from Mirror's Edge for a second!

  • Comment removed

  • WOOT! I am sorry but I have found this band through the infamous anti-music machine known as the radio & I'm glad to have found a band from it that consecuctively have good songs. Any recommendations for other bands? Ya know it won't be just for me, but other people who are checking this video ;]

  • @phunkh0us3

    Band? Gotye is ONE person.. Or you know, solo artist.. Yeah my english sucks, don't judge me!

  • @MichaelJacksonEverXD Damn...Really??? Talented motha fucker...

  • @phunkh0us3 Esau and the Giant, they're pretty good, check them out on Bandcamp

  • Finally, an artist who knows what the hell is going on and isn't afraid to show it!

  • KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENAAAAAADAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAA!

  • sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet

  • This reminds me of Day Tripper. Like a lot.

  • @redhedbedhed Yeah with 17 seconds reference at the start. The Cure?

  • ALIENS!!!!!! and awesome song :D

  • I think it's supposed to sound like Day Tripper. Great song nonetheless.

  • 16 People couldn't find an Easy Way Out..

  • @Kylefsho AHAHAHASHAHAHSHAHAH OMG U SO FUNNY AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

    I see whut you did did do dere, you dun did put the title into an action that if wun cud not accoplish, he wud be mad n' disliek. OH U CRACK ME UP

  • @jakeh2110 what language was that....no offence but, Really!

  • @TheAharrison31 I...dont know.

  • @TheAharrison31 Korean ^^ It's just the title of the song.

  • too short..so i put it in *repeat mode* :)

  • Getting a real 'Invasion of the body snatchers' feel to this.

  • what's good with Gotye and Elliott Smith song names.. AMIRITE?!

  • :) great song... sounds verrrry like the beatles 'day tripper' in parts :)

  • @enorhclum yes! i was thinking the same thing!

  • @enorhclum i knew someone had to point that out

  • теперь я лучше понимаю ,почему европейци пьют диприсанты.проснитесь! проснитесь!....если после этих песен у вас налаживаются отношения с родителями,женой,мужем,любимым человеком то слушайте дальше. эта музыка вызывает эгоизм и потери жизненных сил .

  • "17 seconds and im over it" is at exactly 17 seconds!

  • great video

  • Comment removed

  • The chorus sounds a bit like The Beatles 'Day tripper', or is it just me...

  • @slikman151 haha yesss, it definitely does!

  • @slikman151 I have no proof, but I'd swear he sampled the song!

  • @slikman151 Yeah, but if you grabbed every single Beatles song, most songs released since 2001 have small samples from there songs. It's nothing like plagiarism, it's just something that subconsciously happens.

  • @slikman151

    The guitar riff reminds me of 'What Is Life' from George Harrison.

  • Reminds me of Hayao Miuzaki like Bronte's Music video

  • i dont get the vid?

  • @mcbetty1 so I think it is basically showing that he has been captured by these aliens and they are controlling his mind, and he's imagining that he is running away to that one chick, and they inject something into his IV pouch which does something to him (maybe kills him). the song being called "Easy Way out", saying that it's an easy way out, to die.

  • 14 PEOPLE NEED TO UNBLOCK THEIR EARS! THIS SONG IS THE DOGS BOLLOCKS, PURE CLASS! BIG LIKE!

  • Comment removed

  • 0:34

    Clearly Chell.

    This is actually a song about Portal.

  • day tripper vibe.

  • that's a lot of animation loop

  • yeah beck on this song for sure

    peter gabriel on somebody i used to know

  • @dubdub024 HOW ABOUT ITS JUST GOTYE ON BOTH!

  • dude man reminds me of beck, but this is a good thing

  • Nieziemskie .....

    ...... Goty to geniusz !

    I love his song ♥

  • hahah day after i first watched this i had a fucking scary nightmare about alien bugs.. my first nightmare in like 2-3 years lol

  • what is this shit?

  • @DevinisaG watch. listen. if you don't like, don't hate, just go.

  • @thegardenpear I think society needs to learn and apply that to quite a few things in life haha.

  • @thegardenpear I think most of youtube needs to follow that advice...

  • @DevinisaG i thought the same thing when i saw your comment

  • loving it

  • Fucking great ! <3

  • this reminds me of some of Sting's Police tunes

  • The vid reminds me of Jackie Chan adventures.

  • Gotye ! Kocham. ♥ 

  • this went off live! most amazing show i have ever been too, the forum 2/10/11

  • Mirrors edge?

  • The prawns are watching...

  • no one mentions Beck! Those guitars are a little more Beck than The Beatles.

  • @TheTelepathicKid the whole song's very Beck for sure! Good call. I love the eclectic mixes on Gotye's stuff!

  • lol gotye = eat ass in turkish :D

  • TETSUOOOOOOOOOOO!

  • @hotelmario510

    KANEDAAAA!

  • @R1CC099 KAORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

  • @hotelmario510

    AKIRAAAAAAAA!

    =)

  • @hotelmario510 YOU NAILED IT BRO'

  • @hotelmario510 the best part is only small fraction of vievers know whats its about:P

  • @hotelmario510 KANEDAAAA!

  • @hotelmario510 KANEDAAAAAAAAAAA!

  • this song is too good to be real, I'm sure I'm just in an awesome dream

  • this guy is amazin

  • Wow

  • OMG! Can words explain, maybe, but so clear in this artform. WOW.

  • Many people mentioned 'Day Tripper', but I also hear the guitar from 'What is Life' from George Harrison. Love it!

  • WTF? It is not allowed to see this video in germany.

    Gotye is right now in the radio, many people want to hear more songs, but they can´t.

    I hate GEMA, but there are other options...

  • @MrHolzwurm93

    Seriously? Is that the case for all videos of gotyemusic's channel? That has to be a mistake. You should send him a pm. Anyway, most of his songs have been uploaded dozens of times, I'm sure you can find ones that work.

  • Animation style reminds me of the movie Akira.

  • Haha. Not meaning to be a fussy troll or anything, but thumbs up if the title agitates you - It should be: "Easy Way Out - Goyte (Official Animated Clip)". (Or something like that haha!)

    Absolutely not offense intended, because this is still an AWESOME song. LOL

  • Explain to me what is happening in this clip

  • @xCarambaman there's a dude running and it's really kinda red

  • adding this to my list of repeats. I'm in Gotye-Love :)

  • Anybody else hearing 'Day Tripper' by The Beatles? Got to love Gotye, some amazing songs!

  • @DetailsOfAir Sure I do. :o) And it is no coincidence - look at the title, a clear homage it is. :o)

  • Badass.

  • Why do I think of Portal 2 with this video/song now...

  • awesome love your work

  • anyone out there actually bought the album? i found it really disappointing. i mean "someone i used to know" is brilliant as is "easy way out" and "we'll be watching you" but some of the other songs, especially in the middle are really poor - like 8o's reject songs from steve winwood. i do like the last song though "bronte". it's about his dog dying - it's a really beautiful piece...

  • @fletchertristian I bout his album the deluxe edition on cd

    and i must say i wasn't disappointed at all

  • @fletchertristian Eyes Wide Open is pretty good too.

  • @fletchertristian Sometimes you'ill find that the main money-spinning songs in an album are used to pay for the production of the album (someone's gotta pay the bills) and the rest of the album is then available for the artist to fill with their true work (& some of it can get pretty weird, but that's the creative process for you). If you find that you are disappointed with these other parts of the album, it just means that this is not the artist for you, that's all. ..

  • @leighatkins22 i dont know if thats what was going on here. i mean, i turned out that those were the most popular, but i dont think it was planned to be.

  • People should be watching this just as much as Somebody That I Used To Know

    It's equally as BRILLIANT

    well of course it is

    It's Gotye

    Go Wally

  • it reminds me of gorillaz

  • @xxxtuttifruttixxx Yeaaaaahhhh 100%

  • wat is the meaning of this song

    

  • @jetzbooom I think its about drugs.

  • " ......scratching the surface of life"

  • What's up with the aliens?

  • i LOVE this song!!! But it's to short. So i just downloaded it on iTunes and now i just put it on replay so i can listen to it over and over!! :)

  • Love this song, but it's too short!!!!! Again, again, again!

  • Great!

    Guys, want more new music? Check out my playlists and subscribe!

  • @KeepOurLove Yes he did ...that's why I'm here haha

  • It's just me or this is a revamp of "Daytripper"?
