  • Lyrics:
    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

    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...

    • @WordUnheard
      @WordUnheard 4 роки тому +3

      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.

    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.

    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.

  • @xplanetopplstupid
    @xplanetopplstupid 12 років тому +4

    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.

  • @Sperez981
    @Sperez981 12 років тому +1

    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!!!!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
