Gotye - State Of The Art - official film clip (HD)

[IIJazzyII]

So much respect for this artist. Amazing music!

[belizedahype]

Found this randomly &..... I. am. now. a fan.

[BeatriceAlicee]

That was A M A Z I N G :)

[NoCameraForMe]

69 dislikes because Kesha was watching this video...

[XxKYFERxX]

Wow.. last time a watched this video, it only had 480'000 views! Masterpiece!

[Ryhun501]

Just mind blowing

[akaKakashiFanatic]

When I was very small, I had an irrational fear of electronic instruments. I was afraid they would turn themselves on and start creepily playing themselves.

This video kind of brought that fear back. ._.

[kojimapie]

So glad this kind of music has got into the mainstream finally! Now everyone can sit around and listen to Nightmares on wax and 45 dip (:

[NoahMusic96]

Was anybody else at 4:43 expecting the song to have a bass drop?

[squeenut]

@NoahMusic96 its begging for somebody to make a remix.

[Lococomiks]

Just... Downright master F***ing piece...

[birdsfan4]

I like this video more every time I watch

[thechaircover]

I want a Collitron D575 ;)

[thedanichannel1234]

bouncing boobies at :22

[xzshotz74]

That girl looks like shes humping something! :P

[ELEPHANTISGAY]

I THINK THE ALIENS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. THEY ARE HERE. I'M SURE. STATE OF THE ART BRAH !

[napalmocean]

Our extraterrestrial overlords visited me and shared with me the ability to spot their humanoid spies. Gotye is one of them. He is infiltrating our minds with 100% pure awesomeness. Listening to his music is an advanced form of healing.

[cath2204]

Ok this can seem like a really stupid question, but I saw Gotye live and he did the exact same voice than on his CD. I was sondering if he had a "special effect" on his micro to do that or if it is just a voice he can do? x

[PowBiffFtang]

@cath2204 The mic connects to a synth, which alters his voice.

It's the same thing people like T-Pain to when they play live shows.

[cath2204]

@PowBiffFtang Thanks a lot for answering so quickly !

I really do like a lot this kind of special effects. (:

[Pulsar89]

@cath2204

Have a look at the 'Making Making Mirrors' doco on Gotye's channel. He explains there how he creates the voice in this song.

[cath2204]

@Pulsar89 Thanks a lot (: the documentary is very helpful, I saw it once but it seems that I missed the part when he tells about this song. ^^

[MisterPoofDaddy]

I don't know what I just watched, but it was amazing.

[lokimuje]

@MisterPoofDaddy you just watched your mother playing with your friends...

[mandy4andy98]

BRILLIANT :)

[ronaynay10]

this is seriously the best song ever i love this song this song shows off how talented he really is deep low voice loud and soft where ever i'm going i hope you understand "GOTYE FOREVER"

[Tekz12]

pretty cool!

[Datwiggynator]

This song reminds me of any of the "Symphony of Science" videos :D

[93394348]

Groovy. Totally love it. Listened it once & i loved it.

[towerofrebel]

this will keep growing i'm sure

[xmellymox]

Strangely addictive!! Love it.

[bishopscollar]

Damon Albarn called

[draggonhedd]

Lowrey Cotillion D575 electric organ.

[TwoPointOProductions]

This song is the jam

[EatRawPie]

cooooooooooo...oooooooool

[LaPenseeDesLutins]

My Lutins (elves) like GOTYE !

[AlexetCatherineShow]

This song could have been so much better without this robotic voice...

[KFAintheUSA]

@AlexetCatherineShow While you're entitled to your opinion, it's wrong.

[AlexetCatherineShow]

@KFAintheUSA I'm sorry I don't have such a great taste of music like yours

[Dalomed]

@AlexetCatherineShow I think it adds to the atmosphere of the song. It seems off at first, almost annoying. But after a few listens it adds to the groove factor

[TheMarlonC]

Taking a lesson right out the daft punk book, lovely stuff!

[getlandersgetpaid]

Gotye you're a genius!

[melantoriano]

i order my new Cotillion today....

[jacobstr]

@Nithralas It's literal but it's so whimsical and AWESOME.

The video captures that space age fascination with technology, which is also present in the lyrics. It's a bit nonsense along the lines of the "turbo encapulator"

Music these days is all about "state of the art" auto-tuning and over-production. Every generation thinks it's tricks are the hot thing. I love the way the song plays with retro elements while sounding modern.

[mcgmcmullin]

This is one of my favorite songs off the Making Mirrors album. This song is so chill. I am definitely sensing an Art of Noise vibe/influence to it (listen to AON Moments in Love). Gotye is putting a modern spin on the 80s and 90s music that influenced him. I haven't been this excited about an artist since I don't know when. Keep it coming, Gotye!

[JustMeNicoleMarie]

The cartoon people remind me of the old Nickelodeon show "My Life With Loopy" from "Kablam!"

[JayAllTheWay100]

This song is so odd. But i REALLY like it :)

[Nithralas]

Personally I don't like the video. The story is much too literal and doesn't leave your imagination with things to do once you listen again. Song is great though

[perogieluver]

I can't handle the vocals...

[Emilyyyyxo1]

It has a sinister feel to it.. 

[ViliPlayer]

Thumbs up if your listening to this on 2.29. and it is very hot today!

[100daysbelow]

live isses noch dazu der wahnsinn :D das video is so flashig, hach das konzert war göttlich oO

[BeastlyFailure]

the little kids boobs arew soo weird

[TheBeatlesGurl101]

Holy crap, this is so freaking creepy. BUT SO FREAKING AWESOME!!

[rexiemoto]

This video was definitely inspired by Empty Spaces from the Wall. Awesome!!!!!

[aicsitmlipp]

If Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' (the flower animation) and then Im old greg's 'The Funk' animation and then old school cartoon network's animation had a baby... Gotye's 'State Of The Art' (literally) would be that baby lol

[MrOvvey]

@todayudye watching this music video blazed is amazing. The way that the music is perfectly in tune with the video makes it mindblowing

[sami3339]

AWESOME!!!



[jacksobrooks]

The red head is adopted.

You can tell because neither parent has red hair.

Regardless, this song is the bee's knees.

That is all.

[KimKilledPacho]

@jacksobrooks Being a redhead is a recessive gene, which means if both parents have it (even if their hair isn't red), then their child can have it. For example, I have red hair but neither of my parents do, and I am 100% sure that I am not adopted.

This song is certainly the bee's knees, though.

[ImitableChaor]

@KimKilledPacho Actually even if the grand parnts have the redhead gene ANY descendand will have the gene and could occasionally become a redhead. Only one parent needs to have that gene. I for example have dark blond hair but the last person with blond hair in my family was the grandmother of my mother.

[TheHerpDerpNation]

I think I may have just pissed my pants.

[soccerrocker48]

they didnt end up throwing out the television......

THE LYRICS LIED!!!!

[MrBearcub300]

bravo bravo mustard..

[ashman44nova]

ITS A TRAP!!!

[ericivever]

this is really fucked up xD

[fullmetalkunai67]

what a beautiful electronic mix

[DrumableJay]

absolute beauty

[blue0up0dog]

seems to me like this song is about drug abuse lmao

[RevolutionRequired]

I smell Radiohead

[kingandrewapolo1]

this is a slap to the f*cking face of all the mainstream pop stars today

[Wild20099]

@kingandrewapolo1 totally agree with you ,this is what real music should be about

[PerryLenharthefourth]

@kingandrewapolo1 I agree and on my vinyl copy at the end of the song  it goes somelike... No instruments were used making this song... only buttons were pushed

[GenVicious]

Poltergeist comes to mind. "They're here." Fuck. Throwing all my pianos out now.

[Broshmosh]

Daily Gotye time.

[LoveAintJustAWord]

This is a damn well interesting song :3

[f00by]

I find this scary that i am watching this on a computer. The message is quite scary... Brilliant job!

[DjVilez]

Wowww... This is how you use auto tune T-pain!

[parakeetvictim]

At 5:14 the baby looks like a Roomba.

[bamsgirl5]

What the hell......

[pinkladies1114]

state

state

state

state of the art!!

[pinkladies1114]

[auditorymalfunction]

DROP THE BASS

DROP THE BASS

AAAAAAAAAW YISSSS

[thinktwicex]

pianophobia

[TheNajort]

Dat bass...

[zenburger]

gotye must have yakked a few cones before writing this song

[jadaty1111]

i listen to this track everyday while im driving

[showy0urteeeth]

The whole atmosphere of this video reminds me of the old cartoon network..like Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Laboratory haha.

[xlxshanexlx]

@showy0urteeeth oh yeah. lol old school

[3CROWNS1991]

@showy0urteeeth spot on mate :)



[dinosaurdeko]

@showy0urteeeth ya!! it also reminds me of the Brave Little Toaster.

[thelushleaf]

@showy0urteeeth Not sure if you were around when Ren and Stimpy where around but I'll teach your grandma to suck eggs!

[stellina36]

@showy0urteeeth more like fosters home 4 imaginary friends style. but still cartoon network, yeah

[DylNorth]

I keep thinking Del the Funky Homosapien is going to have a verse somewhere

[Lazykang]

I put the Genie Bass on

So my left hand can play the choir... That just makes my soul vibrate! I wish I had a fat subwoofer for that Genie bass part damn it's soooo goood!

[vlad623]

so simple yet so beautiful!

[itsJAMM]

I like how they used auto tune for this track. GENIUS musicians I tell ya

[Idkfawin32]

Finally some new music that isn't boring

[todayudye]

how is trippin' on this song ?? :))) thumbs up !

[pappap99]

@todayudye about to find out in.... how long does it take for shrooms to kick in again? hahahah :D

[Cristbw]

@todayudye LOL guy youre mad high

[favoritescoolstuff]

@todayudye Groovy haha you really dig the music. jk

[todayudye]

so addictive the sounds make your mind relax...

[joegun525]

I don't think this video is about how technology has taken over our lives (maybe a little). Rather I think it's about how music consumed Gotye's life from the second he touched an instrument

[Broshmosh]

Such a good song.

[happyjessus]

I wanna be top comment in this top video!

[XxK47YxX]

Amazing animation, the lyrics are actually so complex and symbolic if you listen to them properly.

[MissteryGirl01]

I may never touch an organ again....

[XXgav123xx]

@MissteryGirl01 What about your boyfriends penis, will you touch that organ again?

[rokamellon]

ok... im really freaked out now. like, REALLY freaked out

[onebay1]

5:00-5:03 with good headphones on = Best three seconds of my life.

[FraxinusDipetala]

Rise of the Cybermen's alternative plot.

[dogfreak1316]

I've listened to this so much that the words 'state of the art' now sound weird to me :P

[lunaticsondarun]

1:19 Zoinkees! It's a ghost!!

[lunaticsondarun]

@ICreepsItReal you noticed too!

[FireAlarmMan458]

"Mom? Never mind about getting me an electric keyboard"

[FireAlarmMan458]

Is it just me or are modern music videos getting crazier and creepier by the minute? Cool song though.

[jhajhagirl]

This is my type of music.

[allycias14]

I think it's crazy the family turns into the tooters...

[elshcari714]

Chuck Norris would have just pressed the off switch... Well, actually, he probably would have beat the thing to a pulp...

[TheThedarkhorse]

freaky shit

[MeBardo]

Grooovy baby. Yeah!

[undevices]

I can't believe he got that organ for only $100! Bargin! jamster! :) <3 Gotye!!

[xmellymox]

Really weird, but I love it!!

[Joeaparis40]

another great video !

[Grid100]

But they DIDN'T "Throw out the Television!"...

[KidQuill]

I'm addicted.

[craniumkazzo]

Chillest fucking song ever.

[DissidentDescendant]

This is what's happening to the music industry.

[MahCatAteMahHomework]

The underlying message in this video. I'm going to have nightmares tonight about that synthesizer... and possibly my microwave, maybe my TV too....

[lothion777]

That was one incredible acid trip.

[1980brownsfan]

i would love to hear this with dubstep remix would be so dope

[unbornanddeathless]

@1980brownsfan i don't know, bro, but it's dope enough for me already.. :D

[GaGasLilMonsterTasha]

I am never getting a synthesizer now

[mMrKromagnon]

OMG. my fikng favourite sung ever! THX THx heard about30 times

[shurubelian]

100 likes for song and 100 for clip ++++++

[Junenights7]

Is he using animation bits from Disney's Fantasia?

[resilere]

this video could start a new phobia that is called "fear of the piano".

[Dan1152511]

this really makes you think about mankinds greed for knowledge and 'new and exclusive thing'. definately gonna put this on my new iphone 6. lol

[Idkfawin32]

I am a very close minded pissed off individual when it comes to music. I've hated most of everything that has come out in the past 10 years and I must say, Gotye is great. Maybe music isn't dead after all.

[1920waveslider]

@Idkfawin32 - I agree with you 100%. I have been pissed at music in general for about the last 10 years and Gotye is a breath of freash air. Since Preface- I have a prediliction for groups that actually make music at the same time, in the same room and (for the most part) on a single take....or super creative people (such as Gotye) who simply take the time to let their creativity out rather than usurp someone else's creativity.

[BingBadaBoom121]

pink panther??

[alcorbelli60]

Triipy

[elstroshitnonstop]

garth hudson

[TUCKER1111100]

this song reminds me of something that weebls stuff would do i mean this it in a good way i love weebls stuff but even more i love GOTYE

[musicfreak1627]

not getting one of those anytime soon...it sounded cool though!

[brandywhite]

it's a fantastic video - a perfect blend of visual and audio - which echoes the sentiment behind Kate Bush's Deeper Understanding, especially the 'Director's Cut' version.

[srboje]

hows this dude not on every station?

[AxaptaMan]

There's a HUGE problem. When the cotillion arrive, they didn't get rid of the television. Sup with that??

[guircosta]

Sitcom version of 2001: Space Odyssey.

[manque69]

This song sounds like Zapp and Kraftwerk had a baby.

[poxbag1]

anyone else see the pig at 3:10

[poxbag1]

All because he put the Genie Bass on, what was he thinking

[benandjerrysrules]

it might be that he is trying to convey that technology is taking over that's how it interpret it

[EatRawPie]

My mate had one of those, his whole family turned into vocoders.

[XX98c2as]

His videos are awesome!!

[GeevesPie]

It's a home organ, more epic than a synthesizer. Sheesh haha.

[Mangaka2B]

What just happened?

[ajuk1]

Ha this sounds like Dub Reggae.

[JOHNNNYT06]

O dear, this has been played in 280p, 1080p is amazingly different!! Never realised how much difference it made..

[frantzxghost]

Lovely music.

[swalsh91]

I need a club night that plays this in my life!!! (Newcastle UK if anyone has any answers!)

[BonDieu617]

Oh my.. this was the creepiest thing I've ever heard. Awesome song !

[Bandgeekprincess2010]

I don't have much to say other than my mind has been blown.

That was fucking amazing (and slightly creepy/scary lol)

[guitargeekette]

listening to how he came up with this, is the only thing more amazing than this song itself. Wally I so love you.

[JamieLovely51]

My lord, that was amazing.

[tippytop7]

The Jetsons on crack?

[rotflmaopmpqxyz]

what am I watching?

[SamphireLover]

i love music again!

[cheatem12]

THIS IS MY NEW SHIT RIGHT HERE!!!!! Naw i really love this joint!!!!
