I love this song, love the arrangement, love Gotye, but…. Really wish the intonation on the vocals was on par. He’s such an expressive singer. I’ve noticed this on other live recordings of his. Still this song speaks to my soul.
@Albert Twangle i agree with you on praise but man... teach us - don't bully. how can you tell what Mahsa thinks? my opinion on any kind of music awards is that i don't understand the point of scoring musicians. music is an art form - this very song has left me in pieces - touched me on multiple levels, clenched my teeth, made me cry, made me laugh and made me throw a teaspon i held in my hand against the wall. I experienced all that while my best friend sitting across the room turned his head completely unimpressed. So i think we are lucky to have so much variety in music and we all feel things differently, but when we meet those who feel the same as us (which is -i believe- why we are all here) well, thats kinda special - be kind to one another and unite because we all here fucking love this song
@@richtofen4888 Ik where you're coming from and I would agree but tbh with the music industry in the state it's in today, most talented musicians don't make it. For the ones who do, even if they're not that good, they deserve an award just for making it coz that shits impossible these days. No it's not right but it's not the artists fault for making it, if you're gonna blame anyone for this guy and many other people not making it, blame the industry and the people responsible for radio and adverts and the grammys (etc)
@@mr.meowmeow672 If you watch other performances of his, it tends to be a really good blend of the two. Although, this was pretty early in his career, and i doubt he’d done that many live performances at this point. If you watch him from 2012 and onward, he looks to be far more comfortable with performing on stage, and especially during songs like State of the art, where he’d be really feeling the music :)
@@richtofen4888 yeah I think you're right 😂 I've also watch some of his recent live performances and he did look more calm and comfortable. Really looking forward to his next songs with the Basics ^^
He’s more talented than I thought and I thought he was amazing already…one of my top bands when it comes to vocals and unique sound. Nothing like them.
He comes off as an artist. Someone who knows his music and style probably wouldn’t be accepted but was so damn proud of it that he showed it off like the genius he was. A prodigy of sorts
He is very rated. Multi award winner and has been listed as one of the best Australian artists of the 21st century. He is a hell of a lovely guy too, I was lucky enough to drink and chat with him and he literally is the most humble and understated guy I've ever met.
One of the most ignorant things you can do is call this man a "one hit wonder". I remember I discovered him when I was in Europe in 2011. Then he blew up a year later in the US after I heard it all the time there that year. i then looked into his discography and this quickly became my favorite song.
This is my favorite song as well, Gotye definitely needs more praise because they always tried new things with their music, lots of a fantastic songs .
search up trip hop maybe, he said that he is quite inspired by massive attack and the likes . Maybe portishead but in another register knowing that his style is pretty unique . good luck !
Yes! There's so much visual and audio diversion. Even the literal spotlight wasn't on him. He does all he can to diffuse the central focus, whilst still artfully leading. He has a lot of class.

Pick apart The pieces of your heart And let me peer inside Let me in Where only your thoughts have been Let me occupy your mind As you do mine You have lost Too much love To fear, doubt and distrust Its not enough You just threw away the key To your heart You don't get burned 'Cause nothing gets through It makes it easier Easier on you But that much more difficult for me To make you see Love ain't fair So there you are My love Your heart's a mess You won't admit to it It makes no sense But I'm desperate to connect And you, you can't live like this Your heart's a mess You won't admit to it It makes no sense But I'm desperate to connect And you, you can't live like this Your heart's a mess You won't admit to it It makes no sense But I'm desperate to connect And you can't live like this Love ain't safe You won't get hurt if you stay chaste So you can wait But I don't wanna waste my love Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Irving Burgie / Walter Andre E De Backer / William A Attaway / Walter Andre De Backer
Shinigami Kitsune because people care more about sex than actual art and music with meanings. Sex sells! It’s sooooo annoying, he’s so amazing he deserves more than the title “one hit wonder”
An incredible artist and musician. He’s more talented than most current artists today. To say he is underrated is an understatement. No doubt a legend in the world of music.
That's amazing. I've just seen a bunch of artists having the time of their lives on the stage and performing good music. They didn't even seem to be on a stage. It was like they were playing in their house: a couple of friends, good music, fun and emotions. This is something that could give good vibes to you. The rest is noise and show-off.
This rendition of the song alone should cement his legend in the history of music!!!! so few songs have such beauty, power and still feel so fun and silly, with such heartbreak undertoning the entire thing! it's so incredibly unique!
eurovision is not the kind of place I would like to see him. He seems to me me like someone who is making music for the sake of art and not for commercial practice
i watch the great gatsby and suddenly i was atracted with this song, i thought it was sting, so i search on youtube and amazing that gotye was the singer, his voice lil bit similar with sting😅
I’m with everyone that I’d wish he’d come back, but weirdly… I kind of hope he doesn’t, in a completely good way though! He made his impression by creating art, and I feel like if he came back it would just end up mainstream and tacky. He created masterpieces and then left the scene and I think that’s a perfect way to end his career in this industry because it doesn’t allow him to grow stale… don’t get me wrong though, I’d love to see a new release! But I feel like he’s done his job for the music world more than 10 times over!
I hope Gotye makes a return someday
Same here
Omg Like really trying to Not give Up the hope but...:(
I keep listening to this song and so hope I get to see it live someday
AFX Gaming he's making a fourth album

Pls tell me there are some other people like me listening to this wonderful Song in 2024 ❤
Of course. Amazing how he only became well known for his "hit."
We're here
Yes , And my 9-year-old daughter likes it a lot too
I'm here too!!
hell yeah
All these people winning Grammy's and he's so underrated.
He’s actually won 3 Grammys
Albert Twangle The Grammys are rigged and shit. There’s a bunch of undeserving garbage artists who win ever year.
Albert Twangle No, she’s saying that Gotye deserves to win over the people who who don’t deserve it.

You don't see many artists do what he just did on stage...drums, keyboard, conducting the band and vocals..to top it off with genius lyrics..wow!
Couldn’t agree more
He’s more talented than I thought and I thought he was amazing already…one of my top bands when it comes to vocals and unique sound. Nothing like them.
take a look to patrick watson, he's amazing and has this particular vibe just like gotye.
"Patrick Watson I NPR MUSIC LIVE"
He comes off as an artist. Someone who knows his music and style probably wouldn’t be accepted but was so damn proud of it that he showed it off like the genius he was. A prodigy of sorts
The part where he says "let me occupy your mind as you do mine" and then proceeds with elevator like music. Gold.
He is PURE TALENT
He knows the right time when to smoke.
This made me laugh harder than it should’ve
The best fucking version of heart's a mess.
So wonderful 04:15
Language
Absolutely agreed, it's truly sublime!
@@bartallen6849 I understand The Reference
This part is from another song of his "Out Of My Mind"
@@glassiris4941 unnecessary
He's so talented. I hope he starts making music again someday...
Hes with his band The Basics ;)
TuttiFruttiMarmelade he's making a fourth album actually... He said it on his show the songroom
seersmucker 7 years of making the album. Pretty epic time
He is dead
His stuff with the basics isn't as etheral and creative in my opinion. Just my thoughts.
Thx for uploading a 9 year old video just now

jimmymb20 I’d love to hear more about that encounter. :)
What do you mean?
@@jimmymb20 how did you get a chat with him?
Only he could wear casual shirt and pants and could still rock this song
Gotya is a genius. Love this song.
The 2nd part mixed into the song starting 4:15 is "Out of My Mind" also by Gotye
I thought he had forgotten the lyrics and just freeballed...🙈
TheMymlan “freeballed” hahaha
Boardface is a great album yes
I've found a gem of a vid
i actually like this song better than "Somebody that I used to know"
Everytime I watch this my playlist turns into nothing but versions of this song
Have you seen the Version from Marti Fischer? German musician and did this song on a loop machine.
I really love this version
Me too, and I'm totally cool with it.
Everytime I watch this my playlist turns into nothing but versions of this song
That sounds awesome 😍
Dude exactly! Every time I stumble on Gotye I go down a rabbit hole of his work. 100% his music hasn’t gotten old
wow his voice is so good live.
Casually strolls over to the drums, does his thing, casually strolls back to the keys as if nothing happened - chill
Big lols
He so damn unique and talented
One of the most ignorant things you can do is call this man a "one hit wonder". I remember I discovered him when I was in Europe in 2011. Then he blew up a year later in the US after I heard it all the time there that year. i then looked into his discography and this quickly became my favorite song.
The thing is that most people just know 'sombody that I used to know', which is kind of sad because all the music I know from gotye is amazing
This is my favorite song as well, Gotye definitely needs more praise because they always tried new things with their music, lots of a fantastic songs
.
No me había dado cuenta que usaba técnicas extendidas en instrumentos de cuerda, aunque lo hace dentro de la música tonal. Qué genial.
Bob?
anyone know any other type of kinda orchestral yet modern kinda music like this? what kinda genre is it i cant stop LISTENING
search up trip hop maybe, he said that he is quite inspired by massive attack and the likes . Maybe portishead but in another register knowing that his style is pretty unique . good luck !
Really different like Gotye is Bon Iver.
Re. Bon Iver, i suggest to first check out Calgary and Holocene songs, their official videos.
Patrick Watson, Björk, the dodos..
Alt-J
Nunca había escuchado a un cantante que suene tan bien en vivo y en estudio.
I just love his music and Hearts A Mess is my favourite
same here XD
Its legendary!!!
Gotye is like Sia, he's a damn fine artist who's persona is not for the mainstream to consume without some stylish obfuscation.
I hope he is comeback over years
My stupid and stubborn mind had a stroke reading this and fucking died
Yes! There's so much visual and audio diversion. Even the literal spotlight wasn't on him. He does all he can to diffuse the central focus, whilst still artfully leading. He has a lot of class.
Aurora is like that too! You should try her music out
Both australian
The only song I can cry to instantly
Love This
Agreed
That connect part...

Why doesn't this have more likes wtf
Pick apart
The pieces of your heart
And let me peer inside
Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine
You have lost
Too much love
To fear, doubt and distrust
Its not enough
You just threw away the key
To your heart
You don't get burned
'Cause nothing gets through
It makes it easier
Easier on you
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see
Love ain't fair
So there you are
My love
Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
And you, you can't live like this
Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
And you, you can't live like this
Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
And you can't live like this
Love ain't safe
You won't get hurt if you stay chaste
So you can wait
But I don't wanna waste my love

Am I the only one who cried because of how beautiful this was
1:30 I love the beat omg
I think its either a sample or inspired by the Day-O song of Harry Belafonte...it simply blows me away...
This song is so powerful, so many layers of sound. The musical genius that is Gotye has few equals
I will never get tired of this amazing live version. He is so talented. I luv his work!
W T F. ¿Did Gotye just belted a D5?
I think it was strong mixed voice (chest and head)
wow......THIS IS AMAZING. Gotye...come back... please
He has the literal voice of an angel... *how did this only get 19,528 views while people with next to no talent get MILLIONS?*
Shinigami Kitsune because people care more about sex than actual art and music with meanings. Sex sells! It’s sooooo annoying, he’s so amazing he deserves more than the title “one hit wonder”
Is there anybody who found he wears KAGOSHIMA T-shirt? So glad he loves Japan. 途中でGotyeが鹿児島Tシャツ着てるのに気づいて、それしか目が行かなくなったwでもめっちゃ嬉しい!
Isn't It Called Hiroshima
MacCready Imery Yeah, it’s called Kagoshima, a different place
分かるw
Su voz es tan... Enserio estoy enamorada de él y su gran talento ❤❤
How beautiful was this?!?!? Wally thank you for doing your part in music
He is unreal
Fucken goat is so underrated
I discovered this song 3 days ago. We are in 2020. Gotye got something of psychedelic. I respect the way of he plays with a real instruments.
Parece que ele _se doa tanto_ quando canta essa música 😢😢

good god i miss gotye so much

eurovision is not the kind of place I would like to see him. He seems to me me like someone who is making music for the sake of art and not for commercial practice
still waiting for him to come back
He’s Sting’s Australian cousin!
my absolute favorite song
The people who witnessed this are lucky, this is an amazing and genuine performance. You don’t come across this often.
Channel name: triple j, in the end of the video is double j...
5:07 The tingles are unreal!😱
Absolutely, the way he sings that high note is just hauntingly good!
Amazing arrangement. Perfectly crafted song. 2022 needs this type of music!
Blimey he’s gorgeous
Him and willow Smith could make something so beautiful and mind intoxicating
I ❤️ ur song Gotye! It's so relaxing and hearing every instrument come together with ur voice is like Daammnn, that's a good song.
That last scream. “ but I’m desperate to connnnnnneeeeeecccctttttttttttttt”
Truly unique talent his music was relevant and brilliant 13 years ago, and still is!
Gotye didnt get the credit he deserved. Dudes a legend.

This song takes me back to when MTV used to play good music.
No entiendo a los que dieron Dislike a esta obra de arte 🥺🙏 why?
