Gotye Hearts a Mess

[Boltensia]

Thank God for music!

[Pulsar89]

@Boltensia

Thank Gotye for music!

fixed that for you :-)

[doublethink]

@llidan1337og you try to sound smart but you end up sounding like an idiot... so men can't feel emotions regarding a breakup? that makes them a woman?

[SIGroxxx]

please check out my cover of it, would be glad to get some feedback ;)

[Illidan1337OG]

i can appreciate that this is a modern artform... it just seems so emo to me

hes a man but hes portraying female like emotions

i just dont understand how this would give anyone shivers through there body

its not like hes pink floyd or 2pac or something

dont get me wrong im not saying this isnt good... i gotta admit i liked it allot better after i read jayx2710s comment explaining what it was about

but your never gonna hear me say "hey put on some gotye"

[TheSweetestThing234]

22 people's heart's a mess.

[tobiaco92]

This 240p is surprisingly good

[arcing]

I love the hole aprotch in this one.

The grove, time-lapse , for background ,the fluid CG overlay of the wonderful critters.

Just Wonderful.

[ploum18]

je l'écoute depuis un an et le frisson me parcoure toujours à chaque mots

[ilyriamoon]

First Gotye song I've heard - love it! I know who I'll be listening to for the rest of the day.

[Myst96]

he looks like a slender man

except he has a face

[alejandrableful]

Love this song!

[XniNjaSnIpzzzX]

Gotye= A young Sting mixed with a little Peter Gabriel, Awesome music, bring back the real voices

[gurinio1]

Good, some like Peter Gabriel



[Heatherwrm69]

[BRBkitchen]

This is beautiful.

[intrptr]

you_reached_me

[intrptr]

I cry for the earth and everyone and everything living upon it.... we have been such poor stewards... please forgive mans inhumanity to man, his environment and all other life forms. Our hearts a mess, we wont admit to it, it makes no sense. We cant live like this ...

[intrptr]

I saw a wounded veteran from wars, a homeless pelican with no habitat, then a plant from the diminished forests. Next came a sad crane from industry, a mutant fish and finally a soul from the diseased graveyard. As they marched the spider followed, spinning a web of darkness behind them, slowly covering the dying earth until they had no where else to turn. They climbed up and floated away leaving a dead planet behind. Brilliant song and graphics. I cant stop playing it... instant FAV

[mrlaptopman1]

Bloody fantastic song. Love it every time I listen to it!

[mydog81]

i see him in 2 days at a festival, and house of pain are there too :D

ummmm afuckyehhh :D

[alwalk21]

Just saw him live last night and had never heard a song of his. Simply amazing!

[jennympage]

Love the video and song .... very haunting and goosebump music xx

[kuentai]

its like coldplay meets bonobo - bella

[1HTMN1]

what genre is this?

[rhingroing]

@1HTMN1 atmospheric tribal droidstep

[xsarahgallagherx]

heard this on gossip girl :D

[maxthealienkangaroo]

@xsarahgallagherx  lol me too

[maxthealienkangaroo]

@xsarahgallagherx lol me too

[SuperLollylegs]

This band always has interesting vids.

[farvahar7]

first when i heard this i said its ok... after few times of listening i say this is awesome

[Tonimarusan]

he's belgian! love it!

[jewlzben]

@Tonimarusan he has spent most of his life in australia, he has very interesting methods in creating music,

[jewlzben]

@Tonimarusan he has spent most of his life in australia, but yep you are correct he is belgian born, he has very interesting methods in creating music,

[tandler]

Defferent interpretations on what it means, but it's still good.

[RJMusicophile]

love this song, great voice and layering, and radical beat!!!

[catalin19978]

I LIKE THE PART BETWEEEN 0:00 OF 4:40 ;)

[unlimitedwin]

fail song is fail

[mlynn7]

such an odd video.

[7alentine]

I found in the film clip that each of the characters has a tear-drop somewhere on it.

Piper - headphones vaguely shape a teardrop

Stilts - on the tank on his back

Pelican - 3 teardrops together on its back (there's 3 beings in its mouth)

Yeti - clearly crying when first shown

Old Guy - cuff of his wrists

Ghost - eyes shaped like tears

Spider - on its butt when shown up close

I like to think that means something =]

[VestriDeusEstMortuus]

Pied-Piper = "soul"

Spider = Time, who wraps up everything

First guy = baby/fetus - cause he's trapped; the tank is his life sustainment thing

Stork = childhood (blindfold = childhood ignorance)

Axe guy = adolescence; toil; everyone judges him in that forest

wrecking guy = Adulthood, toil, and self-destruction through it

Lonely guy = late adult/senior After material success, doesnt have true friends, lonely;

Ghost = Death

Time wraps up all suffering, and you leave to a different world

[Neithie]

@VestriDeusEstMortuus Except the first guy is clearly connected to oil as well.

[taliayu]

beautiful song, horrible video

[darkclan54]

wonderful song xD

[Vomitcake]

how many times has this vid been posted i mean COME ON!!!

[ShavedBunny]

v ---- idiocy in D major.

[soundgardener]

Boredom in C minor. Plinky plonky yadda yadda *snore*

[fendiwahine]

let me pear inside....

[alienorbiter]

Great hommage to Pink Floyd.

[ilovedisney85]

love it...so beautiful

[RazeFreak]

Everytime i hear the chorus, this ... shiver goes trough my body that gives me goosebumps. The sign of good, if not awesome music.

10/10.

-, Raze.

[almostskater011]

@RazeFreak same here its well freaky (:

[liesjes55]

everytime i hear this song ... it`s makes me wanna cry ! So beautifull !

[siddo4ty4]

yeah this is about dysfunctional relationships

[FanatycznyGornik]

really good

[piotreek89k]

Amazing song

[snowyroks]

i agree the end suggests suicide, because it looks like they are going to...say... heaven

[Xiakoda]

I see it as though the character is calling on others... "his senses", and leaving the hope he has for what he thought was "his world"... which is being shadowed out with every step he takes away from it. Leaving it to itself.

Discarding and starting over... but still affected by it while he is suspended in space.

[4jonah]

your analysis in the description box on the right is interesting, but i disagree. I think its all the disaffected outcasts walking together, but not interacting, going around and around in circles, never achieving anything but more disappointment. The end symbolizes giving up completely...perhaps suggesting suicide.

[jayx2710]

It's not about suicide. he is leaving his loves desolate world behind for the unknown, the search for somebody new. the disaffected outcasts are parts of himself, embedded in her world. he had to regroup, to pull himself together in order to have the strength to leave.

[MISStiacoffee]

@jayx2710 did he tell you that?

[SuperAldeMan]

@jayx2710 i wanna bet half of those thumbs up you got here are because you used a bunch of fancy words:P

[SJSumner89]

@jayx2710 You sir or ma'am are a gem for that comment.

[Mooshbe]

Ca me rappelle les marteaux de "the wall"

[dapamperskid]

my god this bloke is a genius the strings literally make this song!! opening chords make me want to rip my own chest open!!

[erinknightx]

this song being on gossip girl got it heaps of publicity!

his australian yeah? woo :D

[powderfinger4ever]

Best song i've heard from this guy yet,

i love it to death, its such a diverse sound, its so amazing!

[cygarina]

Can't Stop Listening_ CAN'T :-.)

[herts1988annie]

AmAZING song!!!!

[aoaiau]

Tune¡¡¡¡¡¡ Amazing but he should do a acoustic version in a reggae version like in the minute 3:00 is perfect Like a Marley Song.....

[deleriumm]

I agree re the simple perfection of the accoustic guitar by the graveside...thats my favorite part of the song....BRILLIANT!

Have you watched the clip of him doing this song llive for Triple J, with a mass of other instruments, including violins, cello, 2 drum kits etc? You can see him totally tuning into the music....it's beautiful to watch. Poetic & purity of sound in motion.

I can't stop listening to this either...or watching the clip-very Tim Burton like.

God Oz has some GREAT talent!

[aoaiau]

I seen it he is a big artist....I add this video and not the live version to my favorite just cauze i love the video is really good¡¡¡¡¡¡

[BridgetD96]

[servant159]

[JAhl2246]

[pizzleey]

[Daimmoeilijk]

[damoeb]

[DGLINS]

Wonderful.

[tayloreh]

I guess the video is about the ride that conformity is. You end up going around again. "Doesn't make sense, but you're desperate to connect"

I guess its the Tim Burton conformity if any. But I think this video is actually pretty special. Thanks for sharing

[Stepherner]

Hm, interesting view, but I think it deals with the different aspects of love... the victim of war, with crutches the earth-bound bird, with a cage the fear, with an axe the destruction, with a wrecking ball the lonely, on an iceberg the ghost of a memory the spider, with the veil of oblivion Love ain't safe... And yes, the vid is really a masterpiece... Greets

[PembrokeandLu]

Wow Stepherner...thats really interesting. Ive found this song thru a random matching on Lastfm and have been hooked on it ever since, and think the vids amazing too, and love your interepretation. Cool...

[TheSweetestThing234]

Best musician I've learned to know in a hell of a long time. When I hear this it's almost like I understand again what music is and what it's supposed to be when you take it ad the highest level.. and not just another microwave artist with microwave songs and a microwave life.
