![FIRST TIME REACTION - Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra) [Official Music Video]](/img/tr.png)
I remember when Prince was at an award show and he presented these singers with the award of this song...before Prince read the winning name after he looked at the envelope he said "I love this song" and the winner is Gotye
Please watch my cover somebody that I used to know on my channel
Probably the best compliment he ever will have
Yes! I was just thinking about the memory of the Prince complement too. They seemed to be more awe struck over standing next to Prince than winning their award. It was so sweet seeing their appreciation of him.
I just left that youtube clip
I remember it back in 2013 before he died that this was his favorite song and I totally agree because this track sums into my head when I was working during my divorce back in 2012. This was the aftermath divorce song of that year in 2012 for me which was heartbroken.
This song still gives me chills
I can listen to it on repeat on won’t get bored of it. It is so moving.
Same 🙂
honestly. the first time i heard this song, i was 6 visiting france and it’s amazing everytime
Please watch my cover somebody that I used to know on my channel
@@cherylmaclean4349 same
I remember when he won the Grammy. Prince said he loved this song.😍🥰
That’s praise!!!
Prince really, that's what's up lol.
What wouldnt I pay to hear what Prince would do with this song, as a performer or producer.
@@melissasaint3283 Did Prince make a lot of covers? Other artists covered his songs but I don't recall him doing covers of other artist's songs.
@@juliemcdaniel499 who?
This song is like a slow burn. It blew up when it came out, which is unusual considering a lot of indie artists have a huge fan base but often stay under the radar. Gotye added a lot of cool elements to this song (a xylophone!) and those lyrics...man. You guys should check out Florence + The Machine.✌️❤️
Yes! Another vote for Florence And The Machine :)
I was 64 when I heard this song. Could relate, but the song it's self the bomb.
Yes×3 for Florence. Cosmic Love would blow their minds!
Florence + The Machine!!!!!!!!
Agreed!! Dog days or Shake it off!!
Australian singers and the artist who painted them is an Australian artist and skin painter, Emma Hack. Brilliant song. Gotye has a Sting vibe to his voice. Both so powerful.
Kimbra is Kiwi ... just over the tasman ditch in Aotearoa NZ friend... yessir!
New Zealand 🥝
I agree... he sounds so much like sting to me. That's what I thought when I first heard the song on the radio :)
Loving how my fellow kiwi's are like "Kimbra's ours, guys, not Aussie!" - we ALWAYS have that fun rivalry of claiming each others' good stuff.
Please do pay attention to her opening lyric, the story is clearer with that. :)
@Ann Gray keenly 🤙🏽
Shout out to Kimbra - the female vocalist. Extremely talented in her own right. Listen to her song “Settle Down” she has a rich blues voice.
From memory - Gotye took a year to write and produce this song.
How good is it ? The twins were hooked before they finished listening.
Twins - you’re turning into fine looking men. Keeping it genuine.
I’ll never get tired of your reaction videos ❤️
Can't believe I saw this song on my "up next" for so many years before only actually listening now
Shes a kiwi :)
Kimbra is an incredible artist! I got the please of seeing her live in concert in 2012.. more songs that should be checked out are Miracle and Nobody but You
This song made him the first Aussie solo artist to have a US #1 single since Olivia Newton-John with "Physical" in 1981.
New Zealander 🥝🇳🇿
And now we have "The kid Laroi" to have a US #1...
Pure Art 👌🏽
Reminds me of Yendry
ua-cam.com/video/aey38EeH64Q/v-deo.html 🔥
wow! That's so cool!
What about "Men at Work"?
I love that she is calling him out. He is just so self absorbed that he doesn't even know what he did to her. They did a great project together, these two. Really captured whatever relationship they are referring to in the lyrics and video.
"Somebody that I used to know" is a way of telling a person about someone that is no longer important to you in a dismissive way.
@barnowl - And she has a different version of things as well .
In 2013 (?) Prince was the presenter for Record of the Year. They announced the 5 Nominees. When Prince opened the envelope he said “I like this song” & and announced the winner. Gotye seemed to be more surprised/excited that PRINCE listened to his music than he was about winning the award.
R I P PRINCE 💜
lol I would be too ☺️
repent to God gg
No he said I LOVE THIS SONG
Deep is a good description of this song. The voices are SO raw and powerful. And he can really nail the high notes, which I know you guys like. Good recc
They both have different strengths in their voices and they are both so amazing
repent to God gg
This song still slaps!💯
OMG the fact that THIS is an "old song" now blows my mind. I remember when it first came out (2012, thereabouts?)! (There were a million covers [Three People on One Guitar etc] and Star Wars parodies [self explanatory] !) A lot of talented people got UA-cam mileage out of this, but this version was always the most haunting, particularly with the unexpected viewpoint of his "ex".
(Did he write more?)
Song came out a little over 10 years ago and I originally thought it was Sting!! There's a great breakdown of this song. I still enjoy listening to this every now and then. I'm so happy you guys finally viewed this one!!
yes I agree with Sting comment.
I thought it was sting too
I thought this was a Sting/Katy Perry collaboration when I first heard it 🥴
Indie Rock, not India or Indian. It's a genre. You guys are the best!😘
Yep. "Indie rock" comes from the term "independent rock". It's a genre that started with smaller, independent musicians instead of the big record companies
@@KG-ul7nx there's also Indie Pop
Ik there's also 2 genres called Art Pop & Art Rock.
I think their both pretty similar to Indie Rock/Indie Pop
For some reason I was thinking he thought he meant Indianapolis aka Indi.
Indie Rock is such an abstract genre. You can get lost it. Find some ridiculous amazing music. "Empire State" by ¡All-Time Quarterback! (That leads into "Rules Broken"). And everyone at some point in their life have heard a song or two by the songwriter/singer.
@@DirtCheapFU I agree 100%, there's some great indie artists / bands like Bombay Bicycle Club, Foals & Everything Everything.
What I have always liked about this song is that you get both points of view. And the truth is somewhere in between.
This song is a perfect description of the ending of a relationship with a narcissist. As he and his abusive ways fade into the background of her life she finds the strength to push forward and grow (the green) from the experience.
Holy SHIT big facts... like.. seriously.
Really? I think people are reading into it and putting their own thing into it.
The break up seems 2 sided. They both had their reasons. It’s over. It’s not anyones fault.
My thoughts exactly. I had a friend that was with a narcissist, when they broke up this song always reminded me of their relationship. Especially the chorus, we went to get her stuff when he was at work and she changed her number the next day
I love this song and then PRINCE (who I’ve loved and adored since I was 10) presented them with the Grammy and he even said that he was happy that this was the song that won because he loved it!!! They were so in awe!! 💜💜💜
This was a banger back in the day. And it's a banger forever. Glad you's enjoyed it.
This song was everywhere a decade ago! Couldn't tell you a single other song they did 😂 But lyrically it's so relatable and the rawness of both their voices 👌💯 Also love its how overlaid with Ba Ba Black sheep/Twinkle twinkle little star. This song was/is genius
Smoke and mirrors is another banger
Oh yes...I like this guy....so unique and original...love this song and tune...BANGER
This song was HUGE ten years ago this year. You should look up the memes. Also, here's a request for Call Me Maybe from that same year. One of the best internet trends ever
Yeah I remember that song and Thrift Shop were on the radio 24/7
10 years ago???? Was it really that long ago??? Shit that makes me feel old 🤣🤣🤣
@@salathon8227 Yeah bro we’re getting old, literally feels like yesterday 😭
@@kingexclusivo we’re not getting old, I REFUSE to accept that 🤣🤣
But I really could swear that song only came out about 4 or 5 years ago. 😩😩
You do know that they already know most of the songs they react to right? They just act like it’s the first time hearing it to get that “genuine new reaction content” it’s genius and there’s no harm done.
The female singing is Kimbra. She is a bomb vocalist from
New Zealand. I saw her in person in Los Angeles laying out a
Minnie Ripperton song. The show was a tribute to Minnie and she certainly proved she could hang, and could actually sing in person too, unlike so many others who rely on auto tune.
Gosh this song became SO popular it started to drive me crazy, but you guys brought me back to the first time I heard it before it was overplayed and I'm so grateful 🙏
I LOVED watching you two react to this. I remember when this song and video hit in 2012 and it gave me chills then, when it won at the Grammys, and it still gives me chills. I interpret the music video as a story about a guy who has faded into the background while his former lover moves on (when the paint comes off her at the end and she's looking at him but in another chapter of her life while he stays stuck in the past). I also like someone's comment on here about the colors representing a puzzle with multiple pieces/sides to the love story. Fun fact: someone made a parody of this music video called "The Star Wars that I Used to Know" - worth a watch!
Also, since this is my first comment on your channel since Tim was fighting COVID, just wanna say how incredibly happy I am to see you both back, healthier, and taking 2022 by storm!
oh my lord am I that old, 2012 this was?? Dang.
You could say, when the paint is removed from her, that she is no longer in the picture
It was actually 2011
Still one of the all time greatest songs IMHO. I get chills every time.
When this song first came out I fell in love with it! I listened to it over and over. I researched it and found that he used a special instrument to make the music. Kimbra ( the girl in the video) is also extremely talented. Go check her out she’s on you tube
Her name is Kimbra.
I spelled it correctly but auto correct screwed me again
I didn't know about this song until a few months ago and I devoured every "reaction" video I could find on it, and missed you, since you're my favorite. This is an exceptional song. Lightning in a bottle.
Listen to Pentatonix's cover of this song. It's 🔥.
I can't imagine that you missed out on this song...It was all over the world at some point. Where have you been? 😉
@@arcillasteehouwer48 I DON'T KNOW. I was asking myself that. How did I miss it?
Have you seen the parody, "Somebody that needs some clothes"?
@@jenniferlawrence1372 too busy making movies
Love this song, one of the best newer songs ever and love how she is painted out of the picture now that they are apart
I always interpreted it as he's painting a picture of their relationship as he saw it, and she breaks free from that image, giving her side, and then removes herself! :)
@@nancyandrews398 Obviously a little late to the chat, but that's a great thought. Fitting that it's coming from what seems to be a woman (since this is youtube I'll say that I'm being 100% serious). I definitely remember the song from when it came out, but this is the first time I've seen the video. My thoughts where that the abstract body painting represented how we get outside of ourselves when relationships go bad. "She's a psycho." "He's turned out to be an asshole." The perception may be accurate but it might not be a true representation of who/what the other person truly is.
This song is a musical masterpiece.
I just love at the end, when her paint is being removed. By the end of the song, she’s “out of the picture.”
"I don't know how you have a calm yell" 😂😂
Song is perfection
I have always LOVED this one, different and beautiful.
The only hard part of this reaction to believe is that yall never heard the song before! Loved this vid ❤
He made a banger, won a Grammy and then DIPPED!!
I love this song...stays in rotation.
This song is perfect🥰
The beat fits the emotion and flow of the lyrics so well. The song is perfect in every 3 regards.
This was the #1 song of 2012 in the USA, and a huge #1 in many, many, MANY other countries as well. The worldwide success of this song is so amazing!
This was the male version of every female version of a break up song i had this on steady rotation , and yes it is reminiscent of a jigsaw puzzle on purpose
Every story is made up of 2 sides and no one has all the pieces.
The JAM! Hope you dive into more music from Kimbra. That's the chick singing on this one. One of my faves is "Cameo Lover"
Cameo Lover and Come Into My Head are two of my all time favorites 😍
Cameo Lover is dope. Love in High Places and Settle Down are my other faves from her
Cameo Lover & Settle Down...which I must now listen to!
Kimbra is the business! My Favorite is "come into my head"! Ahhhh
I frikin love this song, and yall's channel, so...I had to click on it! So, at the end when he goes, in the background, "SOMEBODY!" "SOMEBODY", my daddy used to say, OK!WE GET IT! 🤣 It's truly hard to grieve a parent, and both young. He was only 59 and I was, what not even 30, passed from cancer in 2015 so ( IF YOU ARE CLOSE LIKE THAT, GO HUG/CALL/ OR TELL MAMA AND DADDY YOU LOVE 'EM), LIKE TODAY! NOW ! TIA! But, I rarely left home for about 3 yrs. But, the grieving process is crazy, bc like hearing this, I cracked up, and was thinking, I love you daddy! So ty! Loved it!
You two are so pure, so adorable, so sincere. Love it.
I love when y’all sing
It makes me laugh
Y’all are great love your channel ♥️♥️
You so funny fred when you get into singing mode and tim.😂😂 catchy song. Luv yuh ❤
If you're looking for another powerful Gotye song to react to (or just listen to), I'd recommend Hearts A Mess.
Good call. Love that one!
"Hearts a Mess" is such a damn good song!
Eyes wide open
❤️
The dogs "fighting" in the background fit right in with the song!
Never tire of this song.🌝👍
Another good deep song is "Say Something" by Great Big World with Christina Aguilera.
YES! That is a great recommendation.
the dog in the back at 2:35 🤣🤣
This song is a BOP ... you don't even realize it until it has you like, 🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾
He is from Australia. Kimbra is from New Zealand. Nice reaction to this good song
Born in Belgium as Wouter (Walter) de Backer.
Settle Down by Kimbra the lady featured in the song is a good one also.
Yak now what's fkn hilaruous considering you have puppies in the background.....
Whenever I hear this song, and he sings the line "and that feels so rough" ...
I always add the sound effect of a small dog goin "Ruff~! " ahjahaahaahaa
Perfect.
i LOVE this song!
It gives me chills to watch you guys experience music I love for the first time! Your enthusiasm is so cool!
HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE 1M FOLLOWERS?!!
Still get goosebumps
fun fact: this song is sampled from seville by Luiz Bonfa
Scracthing the surface of Australia's immense music greatness (70s 80s especially). Goyte born in Belgium - moved to Oz at 2. The girl is a New Zealander I believe.
You guys just made my morning! Back when it was released in 2011 this song was everywhere. It was so catchy that nobody could stop singing it. Then shows like Glee and other artists started doing their own covers.
I can go to work now lol
It was 2012
I LOVED your reaction to this one!! It's an awesome song and I'm so glad you liked it 😍
I really don’t believe you couldn’t have heard this song until this reaction
Indie was used to refer to independent artists. Indie is a particular sound that has little to do with past associations of independent music. Indie also encapsulates a musical philosophy. Many artists utilize alternative instrumentation, jangling guitars, and may borrow from disparate genres such as folk, dance rock, and hip hop.
Great song! It such a haunting melody…
I remember sitting in the office at my old job I play this song as I walked out.🤣🤣🤣
I love watching your videos guys. Keep it up.
R.E.M. - Losing My Religion
One of the best songs ever made.
Definitely
I love this song…, the way they did it! Happy to see you choose this one…
Love hearing your puppy in the bank ground 🥰
Kimbra....from New Zealand 🇳🇿 😍 ❤ years, love this song, always have
I could listen to this song over and over. Look at Walk Off the Earth's cover it's cool too.
I second that, and raise the link!
ua-cam.com/video/d9NF2edxy-M/v-deo.html
I liked their version better!
So glad to see you guys back and healthy. Been praying for you. Great reaction as always.
The puppies liked it too! 🤣❤❤❤
I listen to this song every day. Its amazing how deep it hits my soul, really describes my last marriage. To me, he talks about how she once loved him so much, but is hurt at how she has changed towards him. Then she comes back with how his actions affected her. That was my marriage exactly. He was a narcissist, & didnt understand why I changed. All he focused on was how he was affected, & basically I was no longer wife material. He drove me into deep depression, always made me feel like the least important thing in his life & that I was inferior to him. He saw my depression as I doing him wrong, that everything wasnt all about him anymore. If I tried to talk about it to him, all I got was a deaf ear. Like in the video, she tries to tell him that his actions caused her to do this, but he only sees that hes done wrong by her. All she can do is retreat away from him, cause he'll never get it. Evenually, he wanted me to leave & divorce. But, he did manage to start a relationship with someone before I left. Im sorry for the long rant, but this song really hits home.
From the first time I heard this song I noticed a similarity in structure to Human League's " Don't you want me baby"
BPM.
I love Walk Off the Earth’s cover of this. It really put them on the map.
Their cover is AMAZING. So worth a watch.
Ok, he’s going deep.
Indeed.
How have u not heard a song almost 2 billion people have heard in 11 years
First! Love u guys
From a fellow twin
Such a good song!! You guys nailed it, very deep and raw song!
Oh gosh I love you two!! Great reaction! 😂
U young men are almost at 1M !! Congrats
Gotye videos are amazing!
There may be a bit of backlash because of overplay (it was everywhere when it broke), but damn this song is fire. Fire.
Worth checking out - State of the Art, by Gotye, or Settle Down, by Kimbra. Bangers.
state of the art is a trip
Settle down Yes!
Love Gotye and this song
One of my FAVE FAVE songs!!!
Please react to WE ARE YOUNG BY FUN
Your reaction is priceless🤣 I love when younger generation discovers old stuff and actually enjoys it❤
Shes out of the picture in the end of the video....that always gets me...
I appreciate the shirts. Man we need dudes like yall. Straight up
Check out "Walk Off the Earth" cover of this. It's like 5 people playing the same guitar and they nail it
Good choice…love this song. It has a haunting quality and gets into your head :).
This song and the video are perfect, nd perfect together. The pathos is apparent in every syllable sung, every lyric is layered in meaning, and the concept, art, and emotional embodiment of the video make this one of the best videos ever for one of the best songs ever.
Dogs, cats, they have a perfect sense of timing when a video camera appears for livestream.
BRONTE by Gotye. Beautiful song & video. Long time watcher first time commentor! Love you guys !
Loved this song when it came out 10 years ago, was such a good combination of a clear voice but heartfelt lyrics. Still have it on my playlist. Can’t wait till the day I see you guys reacting to Deliverance by Rationale💚💚💚
One of my faves ❤️
You guys need to find the video of this group all playing one guitar. It’s so cool
