It reminds me of the postal service song nothing better. The song doesnt hit unless you hear both sides. Without kimbra its gotye just crying into his beer and that shit gets old quick instead of ppl still listening what 13 years later. Kimbra i had hoped would build on those quirky solo performances of settle down but ended up a particular brand of pop i find easily forgettable unfortunately.
Gotye is one legendary fella. He didn't want the fame and went to his old underground band. Then demonetized his own UA-cam-Channel and said all music students worldwide are welcome to use his songs for free. Humble king!
He wanted to be famous. He sent his demos to radio stations and producers, they didnt come looking for him. Thats how he became famous. Let you in on a little secret...Every musician wants to be famous. Thats why we join bands and try to get record deals. If it was just about the love of making music then we would all stay in the garage or basement and be satisfied. If you want to play in front of people and make a living doing it, theres only one way. Get famous.
@@LordoftheOzarks There is a difference between making a solid living out of your talent and having a stable, but relatively small fanbase and being Taylor Swift - style famous. Gotye never wanted the latter. The success of STIUTK was completely coincidental, it made him uncomfortable, so he decided to step out of the spotlight afterwards. He's still a musician and plays with his old band and lives a normal life in Melbourne, Australia. That's exactly what he wants and I love that for him.
@@91clarie Basically he wanted to be famous until he found out what came with it. Nobody sends their demo to radio stations thinking theyll play it just for a select amount of people, or to record producers hoping theyll only sell a small amount of records or book a small amount of gigs. Thats just goofy.
@@alwaysright3718 bro you've literally done nothing with your life. one message and i can read you like a book. just sit down and remember not even being rich and famous would make you likeable. stop being jealous and look to bettering yourself. its just sad.
Her interpretation. The way she sings her verse. The way she turns her back on him when the chorus returns... the way all this feels raw and organic. Bravo!
I feel her pain! He did her so wrong. She wanted his love not his friendship. She howls as an interpretation for crying. They each complimented each other’s choir in which we, the brokenhearted, are the only ones to understand 😢💔😩
It’s only the greatest thing someone has ever heard or the worst thing ever . I feel like a lot of UA-camr commenters are a special subset of moronic humans .
If a handful of songs would describe entire generations, we would really be much worse off, depending on which ones you pick. Perhaps it's best Eric Clapton's "Cocaine" or The Outfield's "Your Love" does not describe most people of that time. They are banging songs, but neither snorting coke nor f*cking your girlfriend's friend are really something glorious and I would like to hope most were more "mature" than that.
Not sure about how valid it is to transpose the maturity of this song onto an entire generation... But it definitely is a mature song. I mean, how many break up songs let the other side of the break up get a say?
@@xyz.anonymous Yeah I know, but ask the average person to name one other song off Making Mirrors or any song off Like Drawing Blood and I'd be surprised if they could
I am almost 59 years old and the words in this song are so profound. This happens with so many people as you travel through life for both good and ill. I try and think of all the people who I used to know and I truly wish I could see most of them again and just catch up. Sometimes this feeling almost rips my heart apart because some of them I loved so much
I too am older and I think about those people in my life who were in my life and still today tear at my heart. I cry today thinking about “somebody I used to know.” This song is perfection.
It really is somewhat profound when you think about all those you used to know. What are they doing now? Are they happy? Are they alone, or with someone? I love this song, but it also makes me sad every time I listen to it.
When this song was first released, I was deeply in love and certain this would never be me. Now this story has become my reality, and I have unwittingly been cast in a leading role. It's nice to know I'm not alone.
i never had a relationship if you mean this is what we have in common - but i can relate how it would have been after listening to his piece of legendary music
funny u should say that but my top 3 favourite songs are all sad ballads, Band of Gold by Freda Payne, Tracks of My Tears and Tears of a Clown both by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, i could never explain to people why i liked them so much it was just the way they hit me when i listened to them
@@judsdragonFirst time I noted this was the Simon & Garfunkel cover of "Bye Bye Love" on the album Bridge Over Troubled Waters. Such happy music paired with such sad words.
yes, the contrast is heightened here, because the whole thing almost has such a childlike quality to it. all the staccato sounds and the super simple chords. the little xylophone picking out the melody is like something you'd find in a kid's classroom. marry all that with the sad, heartfelt lyrics and it's instant melancholy.
This is the first time ever that I'm happy that the algorithm bring me many many many links related and specially this to see so many different scenes of them. It was a second time I see a video since the "official" one. And now this is an incredible higher emotion when I see her moving as well him and the group. Their body language is so powerful. She is so empowered. All together it's like a cake, all the perfect ingredients suddenly waking up all your deepest senses. Now I dream to see them on very big screen unless live. I'm thankful you shared. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the best songs ever. Captures a universal truism about many relationships--you are in love and together, it gradually falls apart, and then it's over and that person is no longer part of your life. Brilliant.
This song impacted me when it hit the news. I was looking at music from Australia and NZ and there it was. I still like it at 76 years. Go Gotke and Kimbra
Hey Edward, i'm 76 too but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy what was used to be called "pop" music mainly intended for a young audience at the time. What the hell, we've both heard thousands of songs in our time so we know when we hear something special - like this. Reckon the lyrics will have an uncomfortable familiarity for many.
“Now you’re just somebody that I used to know” stays so relevant of a line because we’ve all been there. We had someone that was the center of our being turn into a stranger. I could write a thousand words on that but that’s why this song is so perfect. It explains the entire situation, simply and accurately. I remember where I was when I heard the towers fall, and when I first heard this song. It’s crazy how much impact it has.
I have never heard of Kimbra before, but she absolutely crushes that verse and makes the song that much better. I also really love that when she comes in, she's looking at him, and he's looking away, and then when he starts to sing again, he looks to her but she turns away. Really makes the performance of the song that much better.
This will always be one of the best songs of the 2010's. Such a shame Gotye hasn't release a new album in so long. He really is a profoundly great artist. Even if some of what he does is simple, it always portrays emotion in such a palpable way.
My gosh! This still sounds great. Some really good things going on here. All the musicians did a fantastic job. Kimbra and Gotye still have those powerful voices.
She commits to the performance. Even the quick look towards Gotye at the end of the song feels like "you broke my heart and I hate you" instead of "yeah! Great Performance!"
@@edwardtupper6374 The Tron? What's that? I mean, wherever she's from, I think she's friggin' gorgeous. Just one of those people who fit my personal taste like a key in a lock.

@@alwaysright3718 you're a bit stuck on the fact that they threw that into the mix in some versions aren't you. you'll enjoy the official video version more if that's an issue for you.
just a good song? this was a masterpiece which scooped the awards and was a massive worldwide hit. And far from his only hit. But more importantly it is unique and timeless.
1.35 greatest musical switcheroo ever - sends chills. 3.03 second greatest musical switcheroo ever more chills. I was in a night club in Thailand and the DJ somehow managed to mix thumping tunes with this song. Awesome.
Well Gotye wrote it for her to sing with him. It's also why they didn't do anything else - it's a unique song with a unique statement, which he only wanted to do with her. Inspired choice, as she is the perfect partner for it though. It's music art.
Who would’ve thought something so simplistic could be your favourite song of all time? It’s those harmonies between Gotye & Kimbra that get me every time. Kimbra is so beautiful.
Is it crazy to say this is one of the best songs of all time? Songs like this feel like they were unearthed from some heavenly vault that has always existed. Gotye just dug it up. Masterpiece.
We find someone and make them our lives, but then it goes wrong, and we must look again for someone to love. The human condition makes us need to love. There will be those who need that love, too; you just have to be open to it and not look for it. Love will find you, proximity and exposure. We never get older just our bodies do. We are still our kid self just with more life experience and knowledge. Be young again.
I hope you find peace and self love after your divorce. I had a divorce when I was 22, it shredded me, I felt guilty, but he cheated on me constantly, I caught him in the act with a 16 year old runway, I finally realized it wasn’t my fault.
It helps me kind of deal with unresolved anger and resentment from a break-up that occurred nearly 20 years ago now. While I certainly was no angel, I was so mentally and emotionally abused in that relationship, blamed for everything, yet codependently hanging on his every word and feeling hoping to make things better. I just couldn't live that way anymore. We tried being friends for a little while after the break-up, but after a while, I just couldn't. So, it's now been 17 years since I've seen or spoken to him. He's literally somebody that I used to know.
Thank you for covering this song!!!! It's the song I was named after (my parents were too bent out in the 80's, to realize the true meaning hahahaha!!!!) But, none the less, it's a fabulous song!!!! So happy to see it played and remembered! God BLESS the 80's!!!❤❤
2024 and I the way she looks at him almost made me cry. Some people just have a passion that wakes up extra senses beyond the physical world. My God what a voice.
I remember when this song came out. I was flying from Orlando to Sacramento with a layover in Las Vegas, and I listened to this on repeat during both flights. Never got sick of it, still not sick of it.

The place of someone who hopes it could still work out, I think.

This song aged like fine wine. I still listen to it after all these years
Kimbra’s verse and her performance push this song from great to legendary.
Big deal its Baa Baa Black Sheep, not very original...

Gotey’s lyrics hit so right, but dear god, Kimbra’s counter lyrics made the whole song hit so different, it was amazing
Is...
Indeed. It puts a potentially disturbing perspective on the relationship, arguably justifying the break Gotye's character finds so extreme.
It’s like a classical music piece but with singing
When this song first came out I really didn't get all the hype. Now listening it just hits different. What a great and unique song.
Same sentiment here. 😃👍

First came out by Sting?
@@iveo83 Thats exactly how the vocals sounded like ... Sting , untill you realise it was Gotye

They way she turns her back and sorta turns back to do the backing vocals is so symbolic...great performance.
This will always be one of the best songs of the 2010's.
Such a shame Gotye hasn't release a new album in so long. He really is a profoundly great artist. Even if some of what he does is simple, it always portrays emotion in such a palpable way.
Sad that he doesn't like the song very much, so many poor copies.

you'll enjoy the official video version more if that's an issue for you.
just a good song? this was a masterpiece which scooped the awards and was a massive worldwide hit. And far from his only hit. But more importantly it is unique and timeless.
@@alwaysright3718do you have nothing else to contribute bar that one copy paste…? 😂
@@screambluemurder101right? lol
This collaboration is musical gold. Absolutely pure and perfect.
1.35 greatest musical switcheroo ever - sends chills. 3.03 second greatest musical switcheroo ever more chills. I was in a night club in Thailand and the DJ somehow managed to mix thumping tunes with this song. Awesome.

😂 Makes me think slightly of tambourine guy from postmodernjukebox
It's a sample from Baa Baa black sheep
This song encapsulates my college years. This holds a lot of memories for me. Thank you for this gold!
Thanks! It's a great song but it really comes to life when Kimbra sings.
Kimbra’s feature is my favourite part too! (to nobody’s surprise 😂)
Well Gotye wrote it for her to sing with him. It's also why they didn't do anything else - it's a unique song with a unique statement, which he only wanted to do with her. Inspired choice, as she is the perfect partner for it though. It's music art.
there's something innate damn magical aum aum beats 💪😁
Who would’ve thought something so simplistic could be your favourite song of all time? It’s those harmonies between Gotye & Kimbra that get me every time. Kimbra is so beautiful.
Is it crazy to say this is one of the best songs of all time? Songs like this feel like they were unearthed from some heavenly vault that has always existed. Gotye just dug it up. Masterpiece.
Who is still watching this in 2024?
Lol this was posted in 2024.

Hi from Russia❤
🙋🏾✌🏾🤗🕊️🫱🏾🫲🏻
Why do you give a shit?
I'm from Canada, my non verbal autistic son loves listening over and over... My respect to u
Эта песня ,не дань моде ,это то ,что идет из души ,Дух разговаривает с нами таким образом !
И ваш особенный ребенок прекрасно понимает это
There's so many parts to this song, it's really impressive to pull it off live.
I’m 66, I just found this song, I’ve listened to dozens of times now. Helps me make sense of my divorce and my ex.
I'm 16, recently broke up with my boyfriend and this song describes how I feel a lot
We find someone and make them our lives, but then it goes wrong, and we must look again for someone to love. The human condition makes us need to love. There will be those who need that love, too; you just have to be open to it and not look for it. Love will find you, proximity and exposure. We never get older just our bodies do. We are still our kid self just with more life experience and knowledge. Be young again.
I hope you find peace and self love after your divorce. I had a divorce when I was 22, it shredded me, I felt guilty, but he cheated on me constantly, I caught him in the act with a 16 year old runway, I finally realized it wasn’t my fault.
Same
It helps me kind of deal with unresolved anger and resentment from a break-up that occurred nearly 20 years ago now. While I certainly was no angel, I was so mentally and emotionally abused in that relationship, blamed for everything, yet codependently hanging on his every word and feeling hoping to make things better. I just couldn't live that way anymore. We tried being friends for a little while after the break-up, but after a while, I just couldn't. So, it's now been 17 years since I've seen or spoken to him. He's literally somebody that I used to know.
Gotye dropped this masterpiece now he's somebody that we used to know...
Thank you for covering this song!!!!
It's the song I was named after (my parents were too bent out in the 80's, to realize the true meaning hahahaha!!!!)
But, none the less, it's a fabulous song!!!! So happy to see it played and remembered! God BLESS the 80's!!!❤❤
Besides this being an iconic song, the delivery is so authentic. The pain is real.
Listened to it on repeat at the time of its release and still gives me those same goosebumps now. A stone cold classic.
Love how she glares at him when singing with such power and emotion
the lessons i learned from this video are too indescribable for words. especially the lessons i learned by watching kimbra.
Man I freaking love this song and it never gets old it just keeps getting freaking better 😎👍
So happy that these performances are still so beautifully polished. Fantastic voices. Huge respect.
This song is just straight up mesmerizing, it’s like you hear it and your hypnotized.
This song came out of nowhere and pricked my heart like as if were made based off of the heartache I was in at the time.
Kimbra - devastating here - the make-up, the hair, the voice - just perfect.😙
2024 and I the way she looks at him almost made me cry. Some people just have a passion that wakes up extra senses beyond the physical world. My God what a voice.
I remember when this song came out. I was flying from Orlando to Sacramento with a layover in Las Vegas, and I listened to this on repeat during both flights. Never got sick of it, still not sick of it.
2:34 who is here for the 30 seconds of Kimbra ?
What a great vibe. Puts me in a mellow mood.
I am! Never get tired of this song by these two singers.
One of the best songs ever written and recorded. Absolute musical perfection.
The last look of her it's spectacular
