Agreed. Hearts A Mess is far more catchier than Someone That I Used To Know. I still like that song to this day, but he had so many others that we much better.
Great blend of sounds reminding DM SOFAD and Ultra era and trip-trop style like Massive attack . All in all, looking at the entire Gotye's creation, is amazing. Best fusion artist of the moment that gives a journey from Motown to psychedelic to electro -sampling Just a pure pleasure listening his music.
the music lulls you into a soothing state then the vocals send a chill up your spine, your hooked to the voice that is telling you the truths of the soul that captivate your mind and you can't escape, the voice of logic just leaves you entranced in the state of awe. i feel completely entranced with all of gotye's songs, highly talented musician.
I heard about Gotye through Bronte, and didn't think to listen to any other of his songs. Then I heard Somebody That I Used to Know, and I decided, 'Heck, why not listen to all his songs?' So I did. At least a thousand times :D
I have to say that Gotye is way ahead of his time, where the hell has be been hiding. This the most amazing sh***t i have heard in a long time. Just blasting it at work makes me feel high!!! Will have to try the headphones when I get home!!!! Im addicted too!!!!
"Somebody that I used to know" brought me here...I am addicted. This shit is unreal. Listen to this with headphones on. It is the most natural high you will ever get. GENIUS
These make me think of that time I was looking at this woman who I found attractive and I just started mulling over in my mind how it is all just physical attraction and based on snap judgments on her behavior I was thinking how it wouldn't be rational to get into a relationship with her, even so, I still wanted to be around her. I overthink maybe.
This incomparably rare fusion of talent and consciousness is nothing short of sublime, and I appreciate even more my own mind after understanding. If there was a video for this, I'd probably grow wings. Bravo sir... bravo. #TeamGotye.
their haunting harmonies remind me of Portishead from the early 90s ... at least the Dummy album. I love this group... Just heard them for the first time on the radio the other day ... need to have their albums!!
I feel like I've lost several days just searching out and listening to Gotye clips. He is a force of nature, some rare element that was missing... now we are whole.
Just when I was becoming proud of the music that I myself make >.> this guys voice is phenomenal and I don't even want to TALK about that instrumentation OMG...
I am so consumed with this song, I can watch the video over and over again. He is a true artist. I can't wait til he out-does "Somebody that I used to know" and of course he will.
I think Gotye got this album name and alot of his sound from Crowded House's "Woodface" album, Which is great. I love this guy. Best thing to happen to new music in a long time.
Amazing voacals. Although i hadnt heard of him untill his break out hit "somebody that i used to know" I am such a fan of his music and style. He opend up the doors to Kimbra too, both of witch are amazing artist
yeah i never heard of him till tonight on the radio, and now im looking up songs the one i heard was somebody i used to know. and im really digging this one
I dont doubt that he can and will, that will be something amazing to see and hear. I really dig Kimbra too and her music. A breath of fresh air to the crap that gets played over and over and all sounds the same.
I was playing one of his songs in my house and my friend was like"You listen to weird music..." Then when somebody that i used to know came out she was like "OMG!!! HE'S SO AWESOME." I was just like...... -_______- wow....
the first time i heard somebody it was on the tele and i was like 'freaky... who does that?' (music vid) then i heard it on the radio and i actually listened to the song. now i love his music, and i'm so glad i looked beyond making mirrors. some of my favourites are from boardface and like drawing blood.
That was a really surreal song. Love the music in it, though, very...cinematic, or something. Sounds like it should be the soundtrack to a really dark scene in a film.
The lethargic nature of this song along with the echoing vocals and bending guitar riffts reminds me of Circle Square, particularly the song "roomtone".
Well that's not entirely true. Many of the sounds you hear in Gotye's songs are samples that he finds and tweaks them for his own sound. What is truly amazing to me is that most of his songs were not recorded in a studio, but in the various places he has lived including apartment, bedroom, and his parent's barn (such as with Somebody That I used To Know). Being able to get a clean recording like that by his own doing makes Gotye a truly unstoppable force.
He obviously didn't play them all at once if thats what you mean, but he did produce, record and play ALL the instruments for all of the songs on at least his first and second album, not sure of the third.
Letra en Español Perdido En su cara, Atrapado En el pensamiento de un sabor, Vendido A la fantasía, Comprado Por un precio del que puedes tener un pedazo Fresco Por la prensa de color La carne de la princesa de hoy Separado de fin a fin Ojos azules Y una piel perfecta Invitan a todos Alguna vez te preguntaste porque la quieres? Siquiera te importa si no puedes tenerla? Aunque lo trates no estarás satisfecho El tratar de poseerla solo te deprimirá Alguna vez te preguntaste porque la quieres?

i freaking adore this dude... think he is a pure genius and an awesome musician of course... he needs more attention that just his hit song...
Agreed. Hearts A Mess is far more catchier than Someone That I Used To Know. I still like that song to this day, but he had so many others that we much better.
Listening to Gotye is a momentary spiritual experience. Absolutely beautiful and talented.
I challenge anyone to name a more versatile artist than Gotye. He takes on every genre and makes it his own. Incredible.
Gotye is one man, not a group. He's a one-man-band! Composes everything himself and plays all the instruments. :D He's THE man.
Great blend of sounds reminding DM SOFAD and Ultra era and trip-trop style like Massive attack . All in all, looking at the entire Gotye's creation, is amazing. Best fusion artist of the moment that gives a journey from Motown to psychedelic to electro -sampling Just a pure pleasure listening his music.

I heard about Gotye through Bronte, and didn't think to listen to any other of his songs. Then I heard Somebody That I Used to Know, and I decided, 'Heck, why not listen to all his songs?' So I did. At least a thousand times :D
why am I just now finding this. this is so amazing. I love his work the more and more I listen the more I love. brilliant!!!
I have to say that Gotye is way ahead of his time, where the hell has be been hiding. This the most amazing sh***t i have heard in a long time. Just blasting it at work makes me feel high!!! Will have to try the headphones when I get home!!!! Im addicted too!!!!

I overthink maybe.
I have never been more consumed with a song than this one. It is unexplainably awesome
This song... I am addicted to it now
I think this is the ultimate "Villainous Crush" song! "Do you ever wonder why you want her?/Doesn't even matter, you can never have her"
Been a fan of Gotye since this album came out, glad to finally see him getting the fame he deserves
He's Like "the one" of music. The Neo in our world expressed in music. He saved me from suicide. Now you know that's powerful.
All I can think is...what the hell have I been doing since '08 that I haven't heard this before....Just AWESOME!
This incomparably rare fusion of talent and consciousness is nothing short of sublime, and I appreciate even more my own mind after understanding. If there was a video for this, I'd probably grow wings. Bravo sir... bravo. #TeamGotye.
Really talented boy. Gotye is great
I think force of nature describes him perfectly, just discovered him a hour ago and can't stop listening......the spell is cast. LOL
LOVE THIS GROUP. know very lil about them... gonna learn. anyone else with anykind of heart and ears give My Morning Jacket a listen.
this boy uses everything I love about Radiohead's music.
Sad this song isn't on Spotify :(
also like on yandex music (Russian service) 😢😢 I guess many of his songs have a destiny like this
their haunting harmonies remind me of Portishead from the early 90s ... at least the Dummy album. I love this group... Just heard them for the first time on the radio the other day ... need to have their albums!!
I feel like I've lost several days just searching out and listening to Gotye clips. He is a force of nature, some rare element that was missing... now we are whole.
Gotye's style is that he hasn't got style. Each song is different, according to lyrics and I love it
this song sounds like it should be in a gothic-y vampire movie... love it
Just when I was becoming proud of the music that I myself make >.> this guys voice is phenomenal and I don't even want to TALK about that instrumentation OMG...
I am so consumed with this song, I can watch the video over and over again. He is a true artist. I can't wait til he out-does "Somebody that I used to know" and of course he will.
wow, finally i've found another adorable and talented singer in 2012.
What a bundle of talent, Mr Gotye. Amazing artist.
WOW, this is some dark stuff. I love Gotye, he is a true artist.
love this! Makes me go in another dimension
This man single handedly changed how I listen to music, he changed my life.
I think Gotye got this album name and alot of his sound from Crowded House's "Woodface" album, Which is great. I love this guy. Best thing to happen to new music in a long time.
how can someone make such a perfect song? it may not be as clear as STIUTK but it's so well crafted and sounds amazing.
great music, really! so underrated, Gotye is very talented artist.
Amazing voacals. Although i hadnt heard of him untill his break out hit "somebody that i used to know" I am such a fan of his music and style. He opend up the doors to Kimbra too, both of witch are amazing artist
Brilliant artist ! Awesome style!
Woah, so dark. But I like it ;). A pure mix of darkness and sexuality somehow. And I agree with this song being perfect for vampire movie :)
yeah i never heard of him till tonight on the radio, and now im looking up songs the one i heard was somebody i used to know. and im really digging this one
this is amazing! all the sounds, all the words!!
So did i hear "somebody i used to know" and this is the second song i am hearing from him.....his music is so natural like adele and coldplay......
Right when you think Gotye covers all the harmonies and melodies on the planet he throws this shit at you. Well played sir.... well played.
I dont doubt that he can and will, that will be something amazing to see and hear. I really dig Kimbra too and her music. A breath of fresh air to the crap that gets played over and over and all sounds the same.
Ive been on here about 3 hours and all I have found is more of his music that Iam mesmerized by
I was playing one of his songs in my house and my friend was like"You listen to weird music..." Then when somebody that i used to know came out she was like "OMG!!! HE'S SO AWESOME." I was just like...... -_______- wow....
Wow, you both are poetic. Love it.
The instrumentals... holy crap! So goooood :)
Все его песни настолько уникальны,
this song is soo intense and calm at the same time, how he do it!?
Those last two measures describe it perfectly.
Ohhh this is soo just atmospheric and stuff. I don't know what it is about it, but I feel his sound..
Im in the most unstable period of my life, but i started crying when i heard this.
I've probably listened to this song over 50 times in the last 3 days
just bought all of gotye's albums after hearing just this song - i think i just found my favourite music.
wow.....can't even explain how this makes me feel but I do like the song!
the first time i heard somebody it was on the tele and i was like 'freaky... who does that?' (music vid) then i heard it on the radio and i actually listened to the song. now i love his music, and i'm so glad i looked beyond making mirrors. some of my favourites are from boardface and like drawing blood.
I'm obsessed, love this!!!!!!!!!!
FANTASTIC
Is this the best imitation of Trent Reznor ever? Gotye impresses people.
That was a really surreal song. Love the music in it, though, very...cinematic, or something. Sounds like it should be the soundtrack to a really dark scene in a film.
Awesome band!~♥♥♥
The lethargic nature of this song along with the echoing vocals and bending guitar riffts reminds me of Circle Square, particularly the song "roomtone".
the drums are crazy.
jesus, I think 260,000 of these plays are from me. I. Can't. Stop. Listening.
Well that's not entirely true. Many of the sounds you hear in Gotye's songs are samples that he finds and tweaks them for his own sound. What is truly amazing to me is that most of his songs were not recorded in a studio, but in the various places he has lived including apartment, bedroom, and his parent's barn (such as with Somebody That I used To Know).

GOTYE IS THE NEXT FIRST IDOL OF THE WORLD !

He obviously didn't play them all at once if thats what you mean, but he did produce, record and play ALL the instruments for all of the songs on at least his first and second album, not sure of the third.
Letra en Español
Perdido
En su cara,
Atrapado
En el pensamiento de un sabor,
Vendido
A la fantasía,
Comprado
Por un precio del que puedes tener un pedazo
Fresco
Por la prensa de color
La carne
de la princesa de hoy
Separado
de fin a fin
Ojos azules
Y una piel perfecta
Invitan a todos
Alguna vez te preguntaste porque la quieres?
Siquiera te importa si no puedes tenerla?
Aunque lo trates no estarás satisfecho
El tratar de poseerla solo te deprimirá
Alguna vez te preguntaste porque la quieres?
Aunque sea te importa que nunca podrás tenerla?
Aun así que trates, nunca estarás satisfecho
Solo la quieres mas
Por mucho mas
Reminds me of E.S. Posthumus somehow. A great piece of music indeed.
Pity I'm the first one to comment..
this is just the same it happened to me. But I´m In the middle of the rainning season, it´s just what I needed.
Pass the bong......yesssss.....
I NEED this vinyl
no exist
So trippy. :D
Great song ★
This is fucking insane! I think i need to listen to it again because I was lost in the music!
this is so rad
@AlexandtheUniverse There's always the pirate bay? I got their whole discography from there with album art and everything
I am a new fan
Gotye for President
Lost
In her face,
Caught
On the thought of a taste,
Sold
On the fantasy,
Bought,
For a price you can have a piece
Fresh
From the colour press,
The flesh
Of today's princess,
Spread
From end to end,
Blue eyes
And perfect skin
Invite everyone in.
Do you ever wonder why you want her?
Does it even matter you can't have her?
Even if you tried to it wouldn't satisfy you
Trying to possess her can only depress you
Do you ever wonder why you want her?
Does it even matter you could never have her?
Even if you tried to it would never satisfy you
You'll only want her stronger,
Long for longer
@aeptah yes! thank you! i was trying to think who i was reminded me.....portishead is exactly right!
Super
Is this album really a year younger than I am? Jeez. That's so long ago. (aka 2003)
@brittbable care for what you care dear, and let them do the same! Peace & One love!!!!
I have temptations to be high on something next time I listen to this.
forreal!!
And suddenly, I'm a Gotye fan.
Ohhh, Okay, now I hear it.
@AlexandtheUniverse - it's called iTunes ... I got two albums this way ...
Agree 100%
