    LYRICS
    What do you want?
    What do you want from us?
    To ask you this much is just a matter of trust
    Not an affront
    What do you want?
    Few here'd be true to your point of view
    If they knew
    What you want
    Who here would choose
    To walk in those shoes
    Even you can't
    So what do you want?
    What do you want from us?
    What do you want
    What do you want that you cannot say?
    Show us the faith we're supposed to display
    Come what may...
    You can't!
    So what do you want?
    What do you want from us?
    It's a matter of trust
    That you tell us just
    What you want from us

    Do I wake up every day with the unreasonable hope that Gotye bombs us with four new never-before-seen original albums? Yes.
    Do I settle for his existing albums and listen to them on repeat with the same amount of admiration and respect as the first time I listened to them? Also yes.

      Rebeca Sandstrom Same bro. It’s cool that he won an aria as artist of the decade though. In his speech he said that he would hopefully put out new music this decade, so that’s at least something. We’ll just have to wait for now.

      He does sing in a band called The basics, also this song is originally off his first album called boardface. But for some reason it is kinda hard to find the full album.

    For some reason, this song makes me think of a James Bond theme. Actually, quite a few of his songs do. I mean that in a good way! They have this kind of grand, bombastic, intensely dramatic feeling. Mysterious, romantic, a little dangerous.

    it's a shame that gotye appears to be doomed to be known for just one song, when there are so many other works of his that are just as powerful and beautiful as (some even more than) somebody that i used to know - i have the making mirrors album and it is brilliant, and i am considering getting like drawing blood, after falling in love with it on spotify
    gotye is my favourite artist that i have discovered this year - STIUTK was the bait, and I'm glad that I took it... cos it led to me more :)

    I believe that it is not important to Gotye how many people his art reaches... but rather, how his art impacts even one heart and soul.
    Thank you Wally, collaborators and crew for ALL the hard work and the resulting beauty that you put out into this troubled world!!!! The Karma will run over the dogma!!!!

    The first two verses seem as though they're about insecurity surrounding the desires you wish you could suppress.
    Few here'd be true to your point of view
    If they knew
    What you want
    Who here would choose
    To walk in those shoes
    Even you can't
    ^He's saying that we'd all see each other differently if we knew these things about each other.
    What do you want
    What do you want that you cannot say
    Show us the faith we're supposed to display
    Come what may
    You can't!
    ^This is a verse that's very in character for the video. He's playing the role of this guy on stage saying "What could you possibly want that makes it so hard for you to share? Show your faith in your peers such that they can do so for you!"
    Everyone is afraid to take that first step.
    Now, the only things that throw me off are these biblical talks and the chorus asking "what do you want FROM US". Perhaps he's speaking to everyone with regards to everyone else?

    thats the problem with music these days. You ether create a HIT song that they will overplay your music on the radios for everyone to hear, or they'll completely ignore you because music companies will not pay radio stations tons of money to play your music because it won't earn them money.

    Gotye never seizes to amaze me with his music and videos. I can only imagine the awesome crazy shit going on in his brilliant head. He's a great example of the very few "artists" that are actually artists nowadays. He pours his heart and mind into his music and then thinks of these creative, unique videos togo with them. One of them even made me cry (Bronte). I seldom see this kind of talent in the mainstream music industry. Gotye FTW.

    Anyone listening in November 2019?
    I’ve been hooked on Gotye since 2017, I know it’s not that long, but I’ve dug through so many different explanations and different albums, and by far, this is the eeriest of them all-I’ve been so enthralled by this music and if he ever decided to drop a new album or decide to spontaneously go on tour (not very likely, but it’s good to keep hopes up) I would drop everything to listen to him perform anything again. Love his music and what he’s put into the world, despite not having any current impact. I love everything that’s been put out.

    Very deep song. Seeking God and not knowing what is life about, and should be, can be frustrating at times. Thankfully God is a very gracious, merciful, and patient Father.
