LYRICS
When the Cotillion arrived
We threw out the television
Model D 575
Has custom flute presets
And Harmony-Plus in addition
Now for an arm and a leg
We get three half-dozen beats to choose from
So now we can pretend
That there's an orchestra in the loungeroom
I put the Genie Bass on
So my left hand can play the choir
With 16ft Diapason
And Lowrey's patented Orchestral Symphonizer
Banjo's great on repeat
The kids want to play but they'll have to be patient
The wife can't help tapping her feet
It's a genuine home entertainment revelation
State of the art
(Hold the phone, it's so)
State of the art
[Listen to the difference!]
(Oh my god, it's so)
State of the art
[By use of a computer]
State of the art
Now we don't want to go out
When we could spend the night at home with the Cotillion
Invite the neighbours around
Start the bossanova beat and limbo from the living to the kitchen
Enjoy the state of the art
The Magic Swing Piano really is astounding
Now we can't tell them apart
But these amazing simulations end up sounding even better than the real thing
State of the art
(Hold the phone, it's so)
[Computer controlled tone colour]
State of the art
[The marriage of music to computers is quite natural]
(Oh my god, it's so)
State of the art
[It is time to hear the results]
Repeat after me: GOTYE IS NOT A ONE-HIT-WONDER!
He's really not. This entire album is great.
I feel like breaking someone's face when they say that. I am just sad he isn't putting out any music anymore. But one can hope. :3
I'll always believe he just dipped after somebody that I used to know because he didn't like the mega fame. He was much happier being decently successful and having a manageable, devout following.
I mean, technically he isn't since his song Eyes Wide Open hit #96 like a week after Somebody That I Used To Know hit #1. But honestly he was never going to be a consistent hit maker. His sound is just too indie and with too much substance for the brainless pop industry.
Technically he is tho
Few people know that Gotye never agreed to play ads in the video on UA-cam. He had lost many millions of dollars and it was his conscious decision. What a brilliant act in the name of Art!
I do the same with all my art (Movie/film, solo project band, death metal band, recording engineer for others projects, art portfolio, poetry, remixes/mash-up's/remasters) not interested in money. Just heard about him doing it as well, today, before coming here.
You know what!
I wouldn't have noticed that if you didn't mention it! How classy of him!
Didnt know this, its rare to see artists that care about the art first, pr second, and money third. Really wish he was still making stuff
The world wasn't ready for him :(
He’s in a band i guess
Istg people be so dumb
No kidding, Gotye is a genius (not hyperbolic)
you make it sound like
he’s dead lol
@@zoecain123 I was worried for a second there lol
god, I hate when my piano goes sicko mode and controls my family it happens all the time

AndrewTM Music Official Are you saying I’m a bad person because I like anime when it’s not even an anime profile it’s a game profile that’s an anime game but still if you’re going to try to insult me on something that I’m not ashamed of I don’t know please try to insult me on my stupid name
This song is amazing for testing new headphones. The dynamic range and layering are astounding
that's because the magic swing piano really is astounding.
Truly state if the art song
Hey hi
Sounds great in headphones
It is quite close to being the perfect reference song, it is why I got this on vinyl, CD, and as a digital copy in several formats.
This song has an interesting backstory to it. Gotye's parents bought him a Cotillion D575, which quickly became his favorite instrument. He made this song on the instrument along with a little bit of computer touch-ups in it. He uses a sped up sample of a song called Green is the Mountain by Francis Yip, which makes up part of the beat in this song. But that is not all of what the song is about. The song tells the story of a family taken over by technology, in turn, displaying how we have grown so dependent on technology and it eventually takes over our lives. That is the basic story behind the song.
I welcome our new machine overlords.
The video reminds me of the story The Veldt by Ray Bradbury.
***** lighting can be fine but few people can get around in the dark. Also lights are designed with a break for profit. The first lights could go forever and in fact there is a fire station in the US that had a party not so long ago to celebrate the light that is still running after 100 years. Economics as applied by the current kleptocorporate system we live in is only economical for the ones at the top of the ladder. I argue that there is a dependency happening on many levels.
Cool shit....kinda figured the tech part but didnt know the backstory on that 575....✌
I knew I recognized that sample! Was trying to put my finger on it. Thanks!
Gotye's style is so unique and diverse. All the songs are amazing. Big fan for over a decade now.
It’s insane, especially the way he makes his music videos, they’re so bizarre but they really do hit different
This song was the last message my friend sent me before he passed away. We didn't know eachother for long, I only had the pleasure of knowing him for one year but nevertheless it's like he knew what I was into without me ever telling him. I hope that in his last moments he achieved what he was searching for his whole life, somesort of inner peace. He was the most real and kindhearted person I knew, I'm just sorry I wasn't there for him enough that he'd reach out to me when he was troubled. I'll never forget you and that's the least I can do.
My condolences man
Your comment strikes me hard. I was going through the very same situation in my life, even the fact that I knew the person which passed away about for a year... Anyway, after I have read what you have said, it made me sad, because of the memories, but also comforted me and gave me some hope, that those amazing people we knew both found that exact inner peace after all... My condolences and thanks for sharing this.
Aw I'm so sorry for your loss, hope you're doing ok
I'm so sorry man
Rest In Peace.
Honestly, this is a god damn masterpiece, no matter how I look at it.
Couldn't agree more.
Its his best song imo! XD
i try telling the people man...you know how it goes
Anybody who disagree can kiss Bender's shiny metal ass.
Came back here after 3 years and agree
If I’m ever killed by a robot, please play this at my funeral
I'll show this comment to your family and make it happen; RIP my friend!
Aye lad, will do
Noted
Ok
Instead of robots, we got a virus now
“Incidentally on the track you just heard there were no keyboard performances, just the occasional pressing of buttons”
The song sounds incomplete without that line
I've probably heard this song over a thousand times. It never gets old to me
I just discovered it, and cannot stop listening
@@Ashley-ub9gc yes
Wow
" The song tells the story of a family taken over by technology, in turn, displaying how we have grown so dependent on technology and it eventually takes over our lives. That is the basic story behind the song." This is the coment of DarkComet360, 8 years ago.
The tune is more and more aligned with the perspectives that we have now in 2022....actually a very cool premonitive anthem to the End. Thus, it never gets old.
You could say it's always...
State of the art
A song about Gotye's favorite instrument that his parents gave him. True story.
It’s also about a family being taken over by technology. Gotye is describing modern day tech and how it can take over our lives
@@DEITYMUSIC Mhm, of course the contents of the video which was created and directed by someone OTHER than Gotye, AFTER the song was created, would take precedence over the meaning of the song. You're not nearly as clever as you think you are. It's just a creative story, not necessarily a commentary on real life.
Yeah, I just finished watching the short documentary and there was a part on this song and nothing was said about how technology can be bad, he said that he wrote the song to portray how excited he was to play it, when he first got it from his parents, unless he completely refused to bring up this notion, its really about how much he loves the Cotillion and the vocals were designed to sound like if someone or something powerful from the past when the cotillion was SOTA was speaking to us in the present
:o
@@epitomeofoops The guy you criticized said ''also'' at the begginning of his comment. That is an interpretation and does not pretend to be anything more than that.
You're not nearly as clever as you think you are, Ben.
And your life must be painful to insult people without any clear reason online. Seek some help and do not be an ass to others.
"Three half dozen beats to choose from"... 666. Very subtle.
wow i didnt even notice
Ok, So I've been listening to this song non-stop for months now, and I JUST got that :O
Clever
TyTheDrummer19 clever girl 😏
TyTheDrummer19
As a nuanced Ball-Peen. That's unfortunate.
This song and video have special meaning to me. It is an ode to the Lowrey Organ model D-575, given the model name "Cotillion." It was introduced in the summer of 1981. I was with Lowrey at the time and I helped debug the prototype for presentation at the NAMM convention in Chicago. I was also the first person to play it in public, at the model introduction during the "Lowrey Breakfast" dealer meeting that year.
Wow, that's so cool. I know your comment is four years old but if you should read this... Do you remember how long the development of the D-575 took?
What a really cool connection to have with the song! Thank you so much for sharing that!
So you're basically the Miles Dyson in this, yes?
The video has an allegorical meaning to me becoming clear by the fate of "The Family" in the video. They are strar-struck by "something"(it can be anything in your life) that makes them become totally absorbed in it and lose their self. I'm not sure if the artist of the video or the song had the most influence on it because it's clearly influenced by the video but also the lyrics.
thats absoloutley insane! i could never imagine someone making a song about something i worked on, that must be insane!!!!!
This music video used to scare the shit out of me when it came out when I was like 5 or something
The song itself would scare me horribly when i was 10
saaaaaaaaaame this used to be my childhood nightmare so ten years later here I am
RIGHT? My sister who was maybe 4 at the time couldn't sleep alone for maybe 3 nights
@@NicoleandMira bruh same, I remember this scared me shitless as a 9-y/o lmao
Same! I was about the same age lmao
Ooh, I live for the harmony on the second "State (state), State of the Art", when the harmony goes down... I can't be the only one, right?
dont forget the strings :3333333
I love that one too!!!😂
This get me high af dude
It soars up with the first one in green and it gently floats down like a pink leaf by the end of the second one
Personally it’s
“The magic swing piano really is astounding when we can’t tell them apart. These amazing simulations end up sounding even better than the real thing”
"Honey, did the manual mention the piano turning into a giant malevolent assimilation machine?"
BlockMechanics “Yes darling, it’s all here in chapter 6.”
“Ok sweetie, have fun.”
"yeah, its right under the part about.. what does that say? turning into whistle people.. yeah, Yeah no that seems right."
0:47 It really annoys me how they didn't get rid of the television.
Don’t forget how they didn’t include the part where the presenter guy goes “incidentally, there were no keyboard performances, just the occasional pressing of buttons” jk
Epitychís Productions yeah the animator and Goethe were on completely different wavelengths, but I also can’t be mad at the animator, this video is so damn good
@@guiAstorDunc sorry I just commented that because I remember it from the iTunes track 7 years ago -
MASTERPIECE!! I am sooooo hurt by the music scene when they call Gotye a 'one hit wonder' - They've barely scrathed the surface of Gotye amazing work!!
This was rather cool. Gotye has more to him than I first imagined. He's experimental
+Larry Summers like drawing blood is pretty fucking good
+Gary Schurndlerdurgler lol
Captain desdes what are you chuckling about over there big guy
Gotye is what pop music should be. Not regurgitated drum tracks and narcissistic jackasses mumbling about how they are in an advantageous position compared to us mortal beings.
@@kudos4201 - Well said my friend!
When i thought that Gotye was nothing more than "Somebody That I Used To Know", i find this AMAZING shit
+Gonzalo Hernan you are not the only one I encountered with this mentality lol.,...and I am like no dude you don't know him at all.
so talented. check out the making mirrors documentary
Gonzalo Hernan dude same here, and then my friend pulled me aside and was like "dude you know that 'Somebody you use to know' guy? He does more and it's amazing." And boy was he right haha
Every single song on this album is amazing.
Check out "Hearts a mess"
I wish Gotye was more recognised, his music is so underrated
When this song was released in 2011, it quickly became my favorite. I got my first tattoo honoring this song. The music inspired and taught me a lot in my music production career.
Even today, 12 years later, 'State of The Art' remains my favorite song. A lot of sensitivity, musicality, magnificent tones, technology. I've lost count of how many people I've introduced to this song.
I believe everyone should know this work of art and discover where music and art can reach.
It’s State of the Art ❤
Buzzfeed article "When this cotillion arrives, what the family does next will blow your mind away."
"So basically, this Marxist cotillion arrived, and it's fucking amazing."
Man the City of Townsville got weird after the Professor and the Powerpuff Girls left.
Lol 😂😂😂
t
HAHAHAHA! This is fantastic.
That is fucking funny.
Haaaaa
The guy is a genuine creative, and unfortunately modern popular society just doesn't seem interested in that, they want simple, samey, repetitive music. I feel like he would've thrived in the 80's, when electronic music was about feeling and creativity. First heard this on some Dynamo show in like 2012 and it's never gotten old, just as amazing now as the first time I listened. So underrated.
ok boomer
@@blumeshullman8002 All its taken is two words from you for me to understand that you're a complete mong.
@@blumeshullman8002 Did you travel here from 2019?
I have to admit, I'd LOVE to hear how Gotye would have sounded as a New Wave musician.
80s style synth pop is having a huge resurgence now.
man, he sure is underrated. I mean look at how well thought out this concept was. Also, his music has so many layers that I cant even comprehend what's going on. Nice bass lines tho

Googi Yes but, as you're probably well aware from any video where people ask what the song is and it's in the description... people are much more likely to read the comments than the description.
It's for ease, friend. No need for snark.
Googi I feel you, I personally despise the comment section but... people will be people.
Googi No need for flattery! ...though it's welcome. You're very observant, to notice my comment so quick. The way comments are now I thought it would've been buried under old stuff.
***** ........why do you reply to my comment with lyrics. That I already posted?????????????????????
the television was still there
It's insane how they can make a damn Piano seem scary.
You haven't played Super Mario 64.
LOOOL!
is not a piano
pablolst I know, it's a cotillion. But the Cotillion features a similar feel and look to the Piano.
pablolst
Yeah, it's...an alien?
This song reminds me why I’m so passionate about music. It’s just so layered and beautiful to the ears. It just never stops giving.
"Gotye made one song and left" is just a different way of saying "We only listened to one song and didn't bother checking out the rest".
Everytime I see that tweet, I can't help but think "their loss".
you're so right
This song makes me think I'm in 2060
Jeremiah Johnson Song reminds me more of 1960
Hahah
My grandmother had a synth organ back in the day
What a great future;) i Like your positivere😄😁😉
😂😂
music through rough times hello
More surprised to see comments from 4 years ago
Every time a commercial or someone else says "State of the Art", this song plays in my head. Thank you Gotye, for giving me music while there is no music actually playing!
So you say this is “State of the Art” eh? Nah, more like beyond the state of art! It’s… it’s… a catalyst of transcending magnificence.
Alright, I’ll see myself out now.
Wish I could hear this for the 1st time again
This song is outstanding. Most of Gotye's songs have something different from the rest. I love this artist. He might have difficulties to tune in live concerts, but his brilliant mind compensates it by far.
haven't seen him live, but I'm sad he comes off as a one hit wonder. Truly a great artist!
outstandingly plagiarized from Que Beleza.
Much better 'state of the art' when it comes to music.
Legendary album, literally the most expensive vinyl in Brasilian History.
Go look for Que Beleza and hear them both. you'll see what i'm talking about.
i love gotye too but to be honest i always prefer recorded work ,
when i see bands live i dont like the music or the vocals half as much
in fact i have gone off bands after seeing them live.
Gotye's in a band, they're called the Basics and they're ace
ua-cam.com/video/dCaNju6zvis/v-deo.html
Actually he does a pretty good job replicating the effects live with his backing band! It's pretty fantastic!
Song still gives me chills.
Makes me wonder if it's written with the music video in mind, or if the artist is just that good.
There might be some irony in the fact that this entire song was made without a single keyboard.
the song was written when he got a cotillion himself. he said he was inspired by how technology can be so innovative and then just fall out really fast. so he wrote this song sort of like a time when the cotillion was still the best of the best in technology. and operate170, he used some keyboards on this. the horns are sampled, and many other parts are using the cotillion (im too lazy to look up how to spell that)
DJMoocher Oh, then I am mistaken. Cool to learn new things everyday, I suppose.
the whole documentary is really cool. its called making making mirrors, its like 10 minutes long and he just explains random bits of how he made the album
DJMoocher Oh, even cooler. Thanks for the suggestion! It's rare to have someone be this nice about others making mistakes on UA-cam.
Why am I listening to this masterpiece for the first time 7 years late?

Love the song and the video to match here.
dam 8 years ago, xD
@@valsk01 me too man.
9 now
@@valsk01
The video puts a deep meaning in the song. It symbolizes how you lose your self into technology or other fancy things. I hear Gotye talking about how it was inspired by the organ but for me it's deeply inspired by "too much power" or "too much shiny".
I love the concept of "be careful what you wish for lest you become it".The whole, "let's get the newest technology which eventually overtakes our lives". Gotye never fails to impress me. Videos are a visual feast. Thanks for always whetting my appetite.
It’s honestly astonishing how modern the theme of this song is. At its time there were probably mainly predictions of how computers would evolve and holy shit now this is really relatable, with how AI is evolving.
imo this is the best song to test headphone quality because of the sheer LAYERING
came back for this comment lol this been helping me find good headphones for months and i gotta thank you!
this is a masterpiece, it is art
It's state of the art.
+Cewa Paiget exactly buddy

LOCO CUZ
+zizi8 hi
There are lots of artists of which videos don't match the music and I rather close my eyes and imagine it.
But this video does match the music and is *State Of The Art!* :)
daaaaaaang reaaaaaaally
Bassotronics this is a life lessons . Goyte says high. I really don't like to be made fun of.
LIAR!
maybe the video refers to the more simple meaning of state of the art which is futuristic. so basically he would like to say"FUC# EDM!"
all of his music videos are sublimely animated. I'm almost curious enough to look them up and see if they have any short films
I had a very toxic friend once, but one good thing he left me was introducing me to this song
I deeply cherish my bragging rights of knowing this gem of a song before Somebody That I Used To Know blew up
man this guy is talented I wake up every mrn to his music . Officially a fan bruh
Hell yeah
the production is absolutely amazing on this.
*0
It's like somebody opens my head and gives my brain a massage. Can't stop listening to this.
it's a shame gotye is only known by most as that guy who made somebody we used to know and not bangers like this. genuinely one of the best songs i have ever heard in my life
My favorite
It's a decent track, yep.
Alright so, like, people are stuck in the future. With Gotye's "Somebody that I Used To Know" with Kimbra, but they don't listen to old shit. Like this, this is fantastic.
These two songs are approximately the same age. If you want old shit, find The Basics.
William Charles Doran
Actually, they are on the same album, so in terms of when they were released they are almost exactly the same age.
Eeeehhh songs are generally not written at almost exactly the same time, even if they're on the same album. They could be years apart from each other.
William Charles Doran Even most of The Basic's stuff was written alongside this stuff
William Charles Doran same age and same time are slightly different statements. song prob wasn't written at the same time but are the same age due to being released at the same time. this song is great though regardless
...I'm never gonna buy a cotillion
Still so many years later, and this song is still just as amazing.
I could honestly talk about this for hours. The song itself is an absolute masterpiece! Possibly one of the best pieces (musically) that I’ve ever heard. There are just so many layers, that you can almost always discover something new. And there are so many hooks in it! Like the violins, the wind instruments, the harmonies..
And then we have the MV. And everything fits absolutely perfectly with the song. The message is there, there’s a clear story, and every little musical cue is being amplified by the animation. Almost to a point where the song wouldn’t be the same without it.
But I think he wrote the song prior to working on the video, which means the animator(s) and storyboard artist(s) are also just THAT good! It’s incredible to see true genius play off each other so well.
1:52 When you accidentally hit the demo button.
So the piano basically enchants people, turns them into robots and brings them to it's home planet? That's some dark shit. Love it, though. :D
Its about the state of synthetic modern music.
Yep. Except the piano is really our iPhones. Its about our materialistic tech-lust making us forget how to be human, and ironically turning us into robots. In other words, "In Corporate America...product consumes you"
gotta love people acting their interpretations of music are the end all
Jonathan Roman Nice interpretation
love it
Jonathan Roman "In Corporate America...product consumes you" is it a particular quote from somewhere? I really like it. Nice mix of allusion and cynical irony.

@ Hinnye! Egy magyar! :) Nos, a kerten át belopakodó nyesteknek legalább lehet énekelni, hogy takarodjanak. :D
i forgot about this song and when i wanted to find it (after 8 years) i typed "song with organs and then family goes to space" and guess what
i found it
Yay!!!!
Everyone who calls Gotye a one hit wonder just hasn't spent even a minute exploring his other stuff. All of this music is amazing
ever noticed how loads of gotye's songs have sad endings?
***** They all get turned into a family of robots and end up on Saturn or something.
TheWeeklySwindler That sounds awesome to me, not sad. :P
On no.the family isn't on Saturn.They are literally gone.lol maybe cloned and disposed.
***** dank
***** Well that escalated quickly
This song is amazing. The slow meandering beat, combined with the deep, powerful computerized voice fits perfectly with the beautiful more instrumental bits. One of my favorite songs. Truly.
I feel like this would low-key be a good theme song for a movie or series
Tommy Shelby
@visibleconfusion9513 I'm thinking more like The Six Million Dollar Man. But hear me out. It's like, somebody today had to be revived with old tech that was almost forgotten about.
Should be revered as a timeless classic. Thanks Gotye
A state of the art D575 Organ can make a family turn into a weird collection of space robotic things? *Mind blown*.
Yeah, thats what u see in the video but the message that i get from it is that satan uses music to possess the minds of innocent lives
Some might call the collection *The Collective.*

"These amazing simulations end up sounding even better than the real thing"
Some of my favorite song lyrics
this is one of those songs that you legitimately can’t help but bob your head to.
What would you even call this genre? This is an awesome song and I need anything else even remotely similar.
i can't figure the genre out. but gorillaz sound quite similar to this.
I can tell that you came from Tribetwelve. Welcome to Gotye
There's nothing quite like it - it doesn't really fit into any genre, except some kind of experimental electronica
Well I know how you got here
I first heard this on tribetwelve
And judging my your UA-cam picture
So did you
This is by rhythm, bass lines and over all structure a reggae song. On the other hand the overall tone of the tune is much closer to darker electro/synth genres.
This proves that the creative mind is not a thing of the past, and art is not dead.
*This song is so stellar!* ⭐ _This song reminds me..._
When I was a kid (in the 70s), my family went to the fair. Apart from the rides &
games there was a peddler selling electric organs (catering to families.) The man
showed us one and let me play with the presets. It was... State of the Art............
But it was a bit too pricy for us and I hadn't begun piano lessons yet. So we got a
Hi-Fi instead. And it was..... State of the Art... too. LOL!
It kinda reminds me of 3D Space Cadet Pinball of Windows XP
Cierto xd
Que hace Misa aquí? :v
Si lees esto, soy fan tuya :3
que buen gusto tienes misa jajaja
que comparacion mas extraña, pero sis tiene efectos de sonido parecidos
Missa, WOW, soy tu fan xd, ponlo de musica en tus directos, o no se...
HABLA DE GOTYE XDXD, a tu manera, esto de verdad, esto es muy infravalorado.
o Mas probablemente deberia quedarse asi, seguiria siendo unico para las personas que siguen escuchando gotye en 2020. y The basics
Incredible artist, incredible song...
I agree with u... The problem is that no one really sees the talent in him besides the duet he did with kimbra
Exactly- he's one of the most talented musicians I've ever heard but he's so underrated :(
ulises mendoza The saddest part is Kimbra is also only known as the girl in STIYTK
MCR3127 yep...it's pretty sad
ulises mendoza I fuckin love Kimbra so much
Dude really did release one of the best albums I've heard, and fucking bounced.
I was thinking about buying a new keyboard piano... I think I'll hold off
See, this is another perfect reason why i STOPed my Piano lessons
+Sole Martinez Hahahaha xD
Idiot stupid at the same time
i lived in the same suburb as goyte a while back. i have met him too. have his signature. very nice man
+smallenginedude71 lucky
Hybrid PE yep:D
+smallenginedude71 bop = beep= meep=universe
+smallenginedude71 DITTO! (y)
we have no evidence to support if it is a lie or not facts
This song is the reason i grew up and started playing bari sax
He never fails to scare the living crap out of me.
The visuals here are right out of my childhood nightmares.
It REALLY REALL MESSES WITH MY BRAIN because my brain wants me to believe there are more things on the front of that TV than there actually are.
2:34 the reflection of the lamp on the TV appears to be a window.
Another one that scared me too when I was little is « your hearts a mess »
Calm down. Take a breath. Lol
I love when an artist do not focus on only voice but instruments, rythm, variety. That's why I love him!
Me too
Brave Little Toaster flashbacks.
+Brittany ASMR Love those movies, oh my childhood some great moments for sure.
hy
+Brittany ASMR Totally had the same reaction
+Brittany ASMR OMG ITS YOU
😯Same
I come back every couple months, nice to see you lads again
My Nonna had a early 1970s electric organ in her home. Vivid childhood memories of messing with the buttons and trying the different tones.
Yeah, I remember these things. The bossanova preset was the bomb.
This is a true masterpiece. Nothing more to say.
And to think he's known by the masses for Somebody I Used to Know...tsk tsk.
That's not such a bad thing really. It got him more widely noticed on the world stage so that he can bless more audience with his body of work.
And in its defense, it WAS a good song. I'm sure he's still proud of "Somebody That I Used To Know" as he ever was.
It's a catchy tune for sure. But some of the remixes you can find sitting around outperform it tbh. This, GMAC, 7 Hours and DYOH are better than it imho.
Heart's a Mess and Dig Your Own Hole are my two top faves.
so what it's a good song lol
As a person involved in AI research, I came back to this song after pondering about the current state of computer generated art. How it expressed the oddity of the things that are about to come is unnervingly accurate.
it's amazing how gotye was considered a one hit wonder in america but like, he's still around in other countries
This video and song is so trippy, i can smell it
The funny thing is that the "trippy" effect you are getting is reality. There is nothing more trippy than reality and the world we live in. That's what the song is about and being totally consumed like so many people are around the world.
Nah I think you got coke in your nose
Christo how is that what the song is about?
conan1412 "Now we don't wanna go out, when you can spend at night at how with the piano (whatever word that is)" That's not being consumed?
Christo it's a "cotillion piano", quite a few dif versions. My grandparents still have theirs. F#*K I LOVED THAT THING!!! XD
Most creative song I have ever heard!! Definitely one of my faves on his album..
I feel like Daft Punk must have been aware of this tune. Really reminds me of the Random Access Memories album vibe. Love both.
I'm still here after 7 years, completely in love with his music
Love the Australian astronaut and space craft at 4:30. If you've got a family consuming evil purple piano, i suppose anything is possible.
This song is genius. It's so unique. You can totally hear the effort in it
It's 70s lounge music with modern production and a vocoder. It's a good track and a nice tribute to 70s organ music, but it's not "unique".
@@cygil1 I love this kind of thing. Do you have some examples? 😃
I just realized that this is basically a dub reggae song. In fact, the entire instrumental part in the middle 8 would be perfect for a freestyle IMO.
Gotye is a genius.
1:59 I keep hearing "Homophobic soap".
It says, "Hold the phone it's so...", I have no idea where you got, "Homophobic Soap." xD
CAN'T... UNHEAR...
There it is again, at 4:53. TheSpockter couldn't have said it better :I
Stoooop X'D
I hear homophone it's so or
Oh my god it's so lmao
Gotye never disappoints with his artistic value
My mom showed me this when I was really young, it's scared me a lot and made me afraid of the keyboard we had. Even now this song still makes me uneasy.
I love how he likes to use animation in his videos.
Could this song perhaps be a message about technology ruining music? Stating that everything is so mechanized by synthesizers and mixing software that everything is practically done for you and there is hardly any creativity or ingenuity involved?
Just an idea.
***** That actually makes sense, There was a part in the song that said, these amazing simulations end up sounding better then the real thing, that gives this theory real support
+David Rodriguez But Gotye is an artist that creates songs almost completely by combining samples from all kinds of old dusty records that no one knows anymore. Without mixing software his music would be entirely different, and you cannot say there isn't any creativity involved on Gotye's part...
This song sounds more like a 70-ties advertisement for an organ like this.
+Duncan Blair +
hence the line 3 half dozen beats to choose from 6 6 6
+Duncan Blair At face value, I'd say yes, but what does the tone of the song and ESPECIALLY the music video remind you of? A radical discovery (in America, 196X) appears and destroys the concept of the nuclear family, as a cautionary tale.
This is a satire of propaganda films. This is to music what Reefer Madness is to weed. And I know you weren't slating Gotye specifically, but you _can't_ say that this song, which incorporates all those things, is void of creativity or ingenuity (much of Making Mirrors was made with this 'state of the art' synth, as 'outdated' as it now seems)
It's just a different way of doing things.
+John Roberts. Omg 😈😱👣
