I don't know what's better, the song or the creative interpretation in which this video is!??!! After seeing the video for somebody that I used to know (and listening to it excessively), I found this and they're both amazing, creative, a bit dark, but so...refreshing! It's soo nice to hear this kind of unusual music (: and it reminds me of Tim Burton a bit.....
The thing i love the most about gotye is that he sirsnt restrict himself to just one style he doesnt just lable himself as a pop musician or rock musician he just makes music he like and its awesome
@preceeding because I heard somebody that I used to know for the first time today on KTCL! Im sure most also fell enamored with it lol... I have a vintage soul and love his sound
Stating the obvious, this is freaking fantastic. Music with more than one layer? Whoooa, weird concept huh? A lot of the time when people are unconventional, it ends up just being weird or boring or feeling less like music. Gotye is unconventional in a way that makes his music feel more like music rather than less. Such honest work.
lol, you saw the upload from his official channel, which still has only 200,000 views. The numbers are rising, but that fast, alas. btw, there's another upload of this song, which has 2.3 million views.
Just found this today and i cant stop hitting the replay button...the only thing that stops it is getting addicted to his other songs as well.... here comes another obsession!!!!
the heart. the earth. all you want is to connect. but your hearts a mess. acknowledge what you love and let the melting unfold. step open and create. connect to your heart. connect to the earth. the heart of who you are
The two comments below me put a smile on my face: a 50-year-old music lover and a young Justin Bieber fan. And both, like so many others, have become Gotye fans.
Ok, I'm a true fan. I'm a 50 year old guy who brought his kids up on good music. Three days ago I was introduced to Gotye's music by a friend. Now my adult kids are loving it too. It's so original. I just keep finding more songs to like.
I love Goyte and this is probably my favourite of his songs. Even though Somebody That I Used To Know seems to be more popular, I like this one the best. Thanks Goyte and keep writing beautiful music. <3
I just discovered Your music Gotye and i'm very impressed. I can say that THE MUSIC COMES BACK after years of Big break. Please GIVE US MORE IF I CAN KINDLY ASK : ))))
I really like the way these guys to their videos. When I first saw "Somebody that I used to know" I was impressed with the creativity with the video. Granted I have seen slightly familiar stuff in the past, but I still loved it! This is just cool. I have found a new band to listen to now! ^^
He is my new infatuation. I cannot get this song or his face out of my mind. He peaks from quite an emotionally deep perspective. His other incredible song, "Somebody I Used to Know," has a similar theme. He seems to have suffered extreme heartache or he wouldn't hit it so spot on. I think we'll be seeing more of his enchanting face.
It def has a sound reminiscent of radiohead and I hear Phil Collins a little bit too I guess. Mostly I'd just say it is its own thing and that makes me happy.
i agree with you, i definatly hear Phill Collins and Radiohead but he also sometimes reminds me of Daniel Johns of Silverchair... a very good mixture id say :)
The first thing I thought when I woke up this morning was “I have to listen to that song again”. I have fallen in love with this music! So if by any chance Gotye reads this, then I have to say thank you.
@Stenermalene allllll nite in my head i was singing his songs and thinking about him! lol. i woke up at 330 to listen to his song and then go back to sleep!
What interesting... hrm... things... walking. And one of them with his face on. xD Lol, this video kinda creeped me out. Those black things are scary man!
Honestly the lyrics described me when I was 24. My heart was literally divided. My soul was divided. Roots of bipolar issues were developing & i didn't see it happening. Anyone else have a heart that's messed up finding it hard to live? We weren't meant to feel this forever. There is a way out. I swear it to be true. But I doubt you will believe me -- so instead of just blurting it, please message me if you'd be interested to hear my story about the new heart that's out there to find.
Yup I am convinced Peter Gabriel and Bjork had a secret baby named Gotye... and how do you pronounce his name anyways? Thank you in advance if anyone answers.
@StrangeWhiteness Being a celebrated sinner myself... if you have to be high to enjoy this, guess you need the life change anyways.. Good luck with things, brother..
love this song! And just like Kimbra say's in the song she was featured in it's impossible not to read in to every word he says Awesome
