This song makes me think of Genesis, then again also Peter Gabriel! Still pretty fabulous in its own right however - Brilliant stuff man, I WANT MORE!!!!
There's an alternative version of this song where Gotye sings the chorus out loud (like the chorus of Somebody That I Used To Know). That version was a hit single in Belgium and the Netherlands, and it's much much better than this one.
I dont give a damn what nationality he is or where he grew up I think he is simply brilliant and life has long for music like his a very long time. I absolutely love this song !
@Doulton84 HAHAHA, dear Lord. First off, yes. I'm Canadian. Second off, oh my most sincere apologies, divine one. I did not mean to interfere with your perfectly structured argument, defending your *obviously* perfect opinion.
I really don't understand all the fuss about Wally being either Belgian or Australian. Almost the whole australian population is made up from fairly recent import, what's the problem?
Wally is more at ease when he can speak English. Though he still speaks Flemish very well, he can't speak it as fast and fluently as English. So he's a Belgian-born Australian.
@Doulton84 you should listen too Selah Sue and Milow. They lived there entire live in Belgium, but I would not be able to say that this is Belgian music unless I was told, and I am from Belgium. Music is very international these days. I find it nationalistic and narrow minded to put it in small boxes of nationality.
@Doulton84 You do realize you're fighting about probably the most pathetic thing ever, right? You aren't even arguing about the actual song, like a normal attention seeker would. No, instead you fight about wether a song's Australian or not?
@Doulton84 I don't call it Belgian music but some do, in fact Gotye is nominated for the Music industry awards in Belgium, an award celebrating Belgian music. You argument is also based on personal opinion. It is a semantic discussion, there is no definition of any of these terms. So there is no way you can convince me, and I don't want to convince you. You can call it Australian music, I call it international pop music. When I call something local it really has to be local, like some folk music
@Doulton84 I am a daredevil. This is International music, in no way limited to Australia, not in style, influences or anything else. It was made in Australia but it is no australian music for me. And this is a semantic discussion, so I will not continue.
@Doulton84 Whatever, I don't agree but this subject is not worth a longer discussion. The most important thing is that this song is amazing. And I love it.
i'm from Belgium , but for this song nobody claimed he was from Belgium. Liked this song very much and they nevered mentioned it on the radio he was from Belgium
@enkephalinish : I'm from Belgium and i totally agree. He was born in Belgium and stayed here untill he was 2. I think he himself feels more Australian than Belgium. Don't even know if he can speak Dutch?
@enkephalinish This is no Australian music, it is international music made by a Belgian in Australia. I don't claim Gotye, nobody should. I am just proud about the fact that he was born in my country, that makes it easy to relate to him. I don't see why that is wrong.
@Napoleon501ste he is not really a belgium if he was only there since 2 years old, when he talks he has NO accent so its a bit hard to call him a belgium, he wasn't educated there or anything
@musiqueroyale There is a lot of brass and percussion... the vocals are recorded in mono... thats what gives its aged sound... most songs don't use a variety of instruments anymore, typically just drums guitar and snyths... you will notice that 60's and 70 was heavy on woodwinds and stringed instruments.
I get a happy feeling :D

C'mon, do it again
'coz if it's good
Then you should share it round
What's the use of keeping
